SHIFTING MEAL HOURS.
When Dinner Was Served at Nine in
the Morning.

Man is not less q gregarious than an
omniverous animal, and one of his
earliest developments as a social being
was the habit OF dining in company.
When his dinner depended mainly on
the spoils of the chase the hunter made
it as and when he could, being only too
happy to compound with his necessities
on that footing. But as society took
form and ideas arose, men began to
realize the convenience and even the
obligation of a fixed hour.
But this has always shown the most
accommodating spirit. 1t has adapted
itself to the demands of progress and
the behests Of fashion; it has, in fact,
yielded to the necessities and even the
whims of society in all ages.
Now, the word dinner" is etymolo-
gically obscure, and has been very
loosely applied. Whatever it once de-
noted, it now means our principal
meal; and while doctors generally are
disposed to think that 1t is partaken of
at too late an hour. the investigators
of ancient manners point to the fact
that medieval Europe "dined" at 3 or
10 i'm the morning.
The hour for taking the meal spoken
of in the old records as dinner" has
changed from y in the morning till
about l D. m, while the so-calleu
supper time shows a similar varia =
tion in having shifted from 4 in the
afternoon TO s or . O'Clock in the even
ing,
Dinner at II and supper at was the
custom under the earlier Tudors, while
in the reign of Elizabeth these meals
were severally advanced to IL a. m. and
5 in the afternoon. This relative pro-
gression continued, and i'm the time of
Charles III. dinner was taken at IL or
]. and supper at or s o'clock.
In the reign of Anne the dinner
assumed something OF it's modern sig
nifcance. Attention began TO be con-
centrated upon it, and supper to play
less important part, The former still
continued to get later and finally sup
per was pushed over the edge of the
night"
With the accession Of the house of
Brunswick, dinner" became, in fact.
the principal meal of the day. Four
O'Clock was the court hour in the
earlier part of George HIS long reign,
while during the regency and reign of
his successor it crept gradually onward
to G. William ~ left it at 7, and soon
after the queens accession 8 o'clock
was regarded as the correct" time.
The doctors protested, but fashion pre-
vailed.
What 1t may be in the twentieth GEN.
tury Is a forecast not likely to be ven-
tured on.

returned tn him and his dying request
was that General Gordon should cont

at General Meade's headquarters. Tell

hut he was not dead. With the dawn Of
the approaching day the battle began
anew, and the Barlow incident went
entirely out of General Gordon's mind
IL was not uncommon. Fifteen years
later General Gordon was a member Of
the United States senate. He was the
guest of Clarkson Potter, then a mem-
Der of the House, from New York. Gen.
Barlow was also a guest In tho
course of the dinner in talking over
war incidents he asked General Bar.

NO. replied General Barlow, II don't

Among the PugS.

WI EDNESDAY night the rooms of
" the Broadway Athletic club, in
New York. will be the scene Of
a benefit given George Dixon the now
dcthroned king of featherweights.
Nearly all the big fighters in the pro-
fession have volunteered their services
to make the affair a success, and some
of the bouts will be worth going good
distance to see. Dixon deserves
benefit. A man who can fight in 10
bouts and only lose six of them is cer-
tainly great fighter, and worthy Of
having something to show as result
of his long career.
Sailor Tom Sharkey took a little eX-
ercise last week when he donned the
mitts, at Detroit, with Jim Jeffords,
the herculean Californian, who has
done nothing but get thrashed since he
budded out as an aspirant for cham
pionship honors The bout was to go
ten rounds. but in the second Sharkey
managed to put his big opponent to
sleep, and bring the mill to an abrupt
