Beginning Of Breakfast.

The postponement Of dinner until well
after noon brought breakfast into promi-
nence for the first time. At the best it had
hitherto been a draught Of ale (afterward
tea or chocolate) and bread and butter and
radishes. Toward the end of the eighteenth
century breakfast parties began to be given
at noon, and the provision of fish and cold
meats at this meal created great surprise.
The meal, however, came to stay, supply
ing as 1t did a necessary break in the
long fast from supper one day to dinner
the next. Breakfast parties became a So
cial institution, rivaling and SURPRISING
dinner. 1t was declared to be the meal
for poets, and Tom Moore was never loath
to accept an invitation and to sing after
the breakfast itself was dispatched. The
last Of these breakfast parties were those
given by Mr.. Gladstone.
Of the economic and social progress made
In the nineteenth century there is evidence
that for the first time three meals per diem
became regular institution. By the latter
end of the century, indeed, we have ex-
tended our meals into four, If not FIVE ST.
mond, an American traveller Of 1870 noted
the breakfasts and the general habit of
visiting the pastry cooks about noon for
"a slight repast of buns, tarts, ETC., and a
glass of whey, at cost not exceeding Cd.
or 3d." Dinner was served about 6 pm
and consisted Of two courses and dessert
The first course included soup, fish, roast
and vegetables placed on the table at one
and the same time; for the second course
there was ragout, game, celery, macaroni,
cream and pastry. Up to the middle Of the
century the theaters opened at $50 pm
The steady encroachment on the evening
hours, until dinner ranges from to p. M,
and the decentralization Of hunger, until
the modern day comprises breakfast, lunch,

per needs no expatiation as the signs pat
emit Of an advanced and luxurious c.viIiza-
ton, contrasting as it does not only with
the manners of the past, but also with mid
day dinners and heavy o'clock tea of the
masses and middle classes.

"Let me tell you." says Missouri
correspondent of the Kansas City
Journal, about a marriage that hap
pened in Saline county in 1856. The
ceremony was performed by Elder Nc
Garvey. The groom was man named
Johnson-I forget his first name-and,
being mighty nervous about the ap-
preaching ceremony, he went to Nc
Garvey and requested that he make 1t
as short as possible and received the
minister's assurance that he would do
80. Mr.. johnson never forgot that
night as he marched down with his
bride on his arm and was met by the
minister at the foot of the stairs. As
soon as they reached the bottom step
McGarvey stretched out his hands and
said, You're married. The suddenness
Of it took the groom's breath away,
and he turned to his best man and
shouted, Henry, am married? This
marriage ceremony didn't take over
ten seconds"

HOLES IN THE AIR.

Invisible Pitfalls with which Air.
Ehips May Have to Contend.
Some very terrible accidents may be
expected to befall aerial navigators
should airships ever become sufficient
ly perfected to make this species Of
travel at all common owing to the fact,
well known to all aeronauts, that there
exist in the earth's atmosphere at GER
tain places and under certain condi-
tions veritable holes or pits of vast
depth. An airship sailing unwittingly
into one of these aerial craters would
sink with far more certainty and far
greater swiftness than would leaden
ship of the same size and shape in an
ocean of water.
Accidents of this nature have actu-
ally happened to aeronauts in the past,
but of course the ordinary balloon is
not nearly SO much affected by the
sudden descent as an airship would be.
Nevertheless, an experience of the kind
is sufficiently disconcerting even to the
stoutest hearts and strongest nerves.
NJ. Tissandier. ballooning with two
friends above the town of vincennes,
some years ago, happened on one of
these invisible air holes, which proved
to be over mile in depth, the balloon
falling that distance with such In
credible rapidity that the earth ap-
peared to be rushing up to meet them
with the speed Of an express train. and
the bags of ballast thrown out by the
alarmed travellers fell not downward,
as might have been expected, but up
ward. Luckily denser stratum Of air,
answering to the bottom Of the pit in
question, was encountered when they
were a few hundred feet from the
ground, and the downward rush Of the
balloon was checked as IL by contact
with a pneumatic cushion.-Pearson's
Weekly.

!. A PROPHETIC JEWEL.
The Peculiar Ring That Was Owned
by Mnrquise du Barry.


The Peculiar Ring That Was owned
by Mnrquise du Barry.
Marquise du Barry, whose lovely
head fell into the basket beneath the
guillotine in expiation of her levity,
extravaganza and folly, had In her pos
session stone Of which the Paris
jewellers were unable to tell the precise
nature.
There appeared upon it below the
surface and as if under water an out
line of picture containing human ig-
ures. Strange to relate. when first the
gem was given to its afterward unfor-
tunate possessor this outline was not
clear, but after it had been some
months in her possession it grew more
vivid.
One day the negro boy, Lamor, who
was afterward Instrumental, from re-
venge, in the downfall OF the Du Bar
ry, declared, locking at the jewel, that
he could decipher the figure of wom-
an with dishevsled hair leaning be-
fore a scaffold and surrounded by a
crowd, while beside her stood the exc
cutioner.
A strange but authenticated circum-
stance is that the negro servant boy
precisely described the guillotine. DR..
Guillotine had not then invented his
celebrated instrument of death. nor
had the horrors of the revolution be-
gun.
Snatching the jewel from the hand
Of the servant. Nine. du Barry exam
ined it, saw the kneeling woman, the
angry crowd, the death knife falling,

Few animals seem more impassive
than the tortoise, but those who have
ever watched its movements know that
the creature is really very sensitive.
A few drops of rain will send it home
with all speed. Even the distant ap-
proach of a shower makes it uneasy.
Hence Gilbert White remarked that his
tortoise showed 'as much solicitude
about the rain as lady dressed in all
her best attire"
The bright light of the sun seems
especially grateful to tortoises. They
rarely stir out at night, and the ap-
proach of winter drives them into their
retreats. This physical sensitiyeness
shows their temperament to be less
sluggish than is commonly supposed.
The animal also learns to recognize
persons and remembers those who feed
it, instantly distinguishing them from
strangers.

Dean Hoffman was noted for char

ago the dean Invested heavily In land
in a small southern town which was

beautiful little hotel. exqhisftay ap-

After awhile the boom" fell through,
and the little hotel became a losing In

At This time the chancellor of the
University of the South, an old friend
Of Dean Hoffman, was on a hunting
trip with him In the mountains OF
North Carolina.

ought to make a pretty little dorrai-

The chancellor was greatly pleased
and made all the arrangements to
move the hotel, when, to his astOnish-
ment, the citizens Of the town obtained
an injunction against its removal on
the grounds that the hotel to O way
was public property and that to re-
move it would leave the town without
any hotel Accommodations. A legal
fight followed, bEt the university won
out in the end. So the University Of

Insomnia Remedies.

However hopeless you may consider
your case, be slow to fiy to drugs for
relief from insomnia. A rubber bag full
of broken ice applied to the back of
the neck and hot water bag at the
feet are highly recommended as reme-
dy for insomnia even in obstinate cases.
The circulation is equalized by this
treatment.
The secret of hot milk cure also rec
ommended for sufferers from insomnia
lies in slipping the beverage. The act
of slowly swallowing the liquid is
soothing in its effect and generally
produces the much desired drowsy feel
ing which leads to the coveted sleep.
