ChenD Meals In London.

"Speaking of cheap restaurants" said
a gentleman who has just returned
from a visit to London to a Washing
ton Star writer, reminds me Of a din
ing saloon in the Whitechapel district
of London where a relishing and fairly
substantial meal may be had for a
halfpenny, or l cent in our money.
This cheap repast is not served up in
the shape of a cut from joint and two
vegetables. 1t is big brown pie very
juicy and very hot. The absence Of
beefSteak is evident when you cut the
pie, but you find inside a liberal sprin-
king of sleeps liver, onions and tur-
nips and plentiful supply of gravy.
For a halfpenny extra two slices of
bread and n cup Of tea are supplied.
Between the hours of II and 2 the poor
and hungry from all parts of the east
end Of the city flock to the dining room.
Most of the patrons are shoeblackS,
penny toy men, cOStermongers and now
and then young clerks whose salaries
will not permit them to indulge in a
more costly dinner"

money at the Chicago exposition in

cations for ground space After much
consideration of various propositions it
was wisely determined by the exposi-

on to the exposition. This arrangement
suited everybody concerned.
Inc amusement section took the name
OF The Plaisance," but ere long it was
known as the Midway Plaisance,"
large majority of the people called it
the Midway" and in the course of a
rev weeks the other part of the
name was obsolete. The Midway had

term that would surpass and eclinsn
the Midway. Hundreds of snpgeO-

Nine TniIOrs Make n Man

mine tailOrs make man. grew out
Of the old custom of bell ringing. The
ringing of bells was formerly practiced
from Il belief in their efficacy to drive
away evil spirits. The ''tailors" in the
above phrase is a corruption of the
word "tellers," or strokes tOlled at the
end Of knell. In some places the de-
parture OF an adult was announced by
nine strokes in succession. Six were
rung for a woman and three for a child.
Hence it came to be said by those lis
tening for the announcement, mine
tellers make a man" AS this custom
became less general and the allusiOn
less generally understood there was an
easy transition from the word "teliers'
to the more familiar one "tailors.'
That inevitable joker, Curran, took
advantage of this popular saying to
poke fun III good natured way at his
hosts on the occasion of his being en-
tertained at dinner by is Of the Guild
Of Tailors. Curran on leaving rose and
said, "Gentlemen, l wish you both
good evening"
