How Restaurant. Came.

The restaurant of the present time
had its origin in the first French revo-
luton, toward the close Of the eight
eenth century. And the reputation Of
the French for good cookery and the
delicacy of taste In eating as well as in
producing toothsome dishes and NOR
sells dates practically from the same
time.
That revolution meant ruin to many
noble families, and their downfall
meant ruin also for their chefs; so some
Of the latter hit upon the idea of open
ing houses where dalnties. prepared by
these skilled hands, could be obtained.
II the experiment succeeded. the chefs
would be as well off as when in serv-
Ice. The idea was pleasing to the pub
lie, the restaurants did large busi-
ness and the proprietors had no reason
to regret the revolution from a none
tary point of view.
Then it occurred to others that the
people might appreciate being educated
up to this fine cookery. and many
books on the culinary art were pub
lished and sold well. One of the most
noted Of these was THE Gourman Al
manack," which appeared in 1I9S.
Restaurant really means restoring
and was applied to these places be
cause you went there to have some
thing to revive or restore your failine
strength.

One Touch of Nature.

That rough words and a kind heart
may go together was never better prov
ed than by an incident ON a Madison
avenue car the other day. The con-
ductor was speaking to an old woman,
who walked with crutch and was ev-
identity, to judge from her clothes, very
poor.
'This car doesn't go to Astor place, l
tell you," he said harshly. you'll have
to get off at Eighth street"
She complained pitifully at having to
walk the extra distance, and again he
spoke roughly. The car stopped.
Heres your place." he said. "Get
Off"
She was so decrepit that he had to
help her rise from her seat. Stumbling,
she reached the rear platform, the con-
ductor following. The other passen-
gers looked at him as though they
thought him a heartless wretch. On
the platform he took her arm to help
her down to the street. As he did so
the passengers next to the door saw
him slip a coin that seemed to be a
five cent piece into her hand. Then he
helped her to alight gently, saying as
she finally reached the pavement:
"Step lively"
With a scowl, as though angry, he
came back into the car. 1t was clear
that he wanted the passengers to think
him a most ferocious man. The old
woman stood resting on the corner and
fingered her coin as the car sped do IN

Jenny Washington.

Philip Vickers Fithian, tutor at
Nomini Hall, Virginia, In 1774, gives
this description Of Washington's niece.
Miss Jenny Washington. Evidently she
was personable young lady, with all
the graces of her time:
Miss Washington is about seventeen;
She has not a handsome Face, but Is
neat in her Dress, of an agreeable Size,
& well proportioned, and has an easy
winning Behaviour; She is not forward
to begin conversation, yet when spo-
ken to she Is extremely affable, with
out assuming any Girlish affectation
or pretending to be overcharg'd with
Wit; She plays well on the Harpsi-
chord & Spiner; understands the prtn-
ciples of Musick, & therefore performs
her Tunes In perfect time. Neglect of
which always makes musick intolera-
BILE, but it Is fault almost universal
among young Ladies In the practice;
she sings likewise to her instrument,
has strong full voice and a we'll
Judging Ear; but most Of the Virginia
Girls think 1t Labour quite sufficient to
thump the Keys of Harpsichord into
the air of a tune mechanically, & think
it would be Slavery to submit to the
Drudgery of acquiring Vocal Musick.

The Primitive Church.

We have in these verses the history
of the primitive church. They were
diligent and constant in their attend
ance upon the preaching Of the Word.
They abounded in piety and in their
devotion, to Christianity. They con-
tinued in the apostles doctrine, and
never disowned or deserted it. They
continued constant to the apostles
teaching or instruction. BY baptism
they were discipled to be taught, and
they were willing to be taught. They
kept up the communion of saints. They
could not forget the death of Christ,
yet they kept up their memorial of it
and made it their constant practice,
because it was an institution of Christ.
They had fellowship one with another.
They continued in prayer. After the
Spirit was poured out, as we'll as be-
fore, while they were waiting for Him,
they continued instant in prayer. For
prayer will never DO superseded till it
comes to pe swallowed up In everlast-
ing praise.

The Presidents Policy.

A Western Senator, whose name II
withheld at his request, went up to the
White House day or two ago 70 speak
q good word for one of his constituents
who wants an Office. The President
listened to his euloey for . few mo-
ments and then interrupted him.
Senator" he said, Twas not this
man in jail five years ago?"
"No," replied the Senator, mot fve
years ago. II was twelve years ago.
But" he added, he was the victim Of
misrepresented circumstances. He
ought never to have been sent 70 Jail.
1t was very unjust decision"
The President looked thoughtful for
q moment. "Well." he said, "when I
have finished appointing all the good
men to Office who have kept ont Of Jail.
I will take up your friends case"
The Senator did not press the matter.
BE wired his friend to give up hope
