Thus does Dickens describe the Christ
mas dinner of the English workingman.
But after all, his ideal of a Christmas
dinner for the rich man differed very lit
tie from that. Here you have what he
wrote in one of his "Boz Sketches" about
the yuletide feast of the wealthy:
GAS to the dinner. it's perfectly de-
| lightful; nothing goes wrong and every
body is in the very best of spirits and
disposed to please and be pleased. Grand
papa relates a circumstantial account of
the purchase of the turkey, with slight
depression relative to the purchase of
previous turkeys on former Christmas
days, which grandmamma corroborates
in the minutest particulars. Uncle
George tells stories and carves poultry
and takes wine and jokes with the chill
dren at the side table and winks at the
cousins that are making love or being
made love to and eXhilarates everybody
with his good humor and hospitality, and
when, at last, a stout servant staggers
in with a gigantic pudding, with a sprig
of holly on the top, there is such a
laughing and shouting and clapping OF
little chubby hands and kicking up OF
| fat, dumpy legs as can only be equaled
by the applause with which the astonish-
ing feat of pouring lighted brandy into
mince pies is received by the younger
visitors. Then the desert and the wine

INVADED EAST AFRICA.
Major Burnham Goes Into a Country

Major F. r. Burnham, the American
scout, has returned to London from an
other expedition to East Africa, this
time through the East Africa protector
ate and Uganda to Bordois of the Congo
Free State. He penetrated about 1000
miles and explored much territory never
before seen by white man.
Durham was the man who shot the
witch doctor ,McLimo, in 1886, and check
ed the great Matebele uprising. Durham
in this land expedition was accompanied
by several hundred blacks and twenty
white men, Three of the latter died of
fever and six others were invalided home.
A lake about forty-nine square miles in
extent was found. It is composed al
most entirely of pure carbonate of soda.
A snow flake crust was so thick that
the party walked across it. This is the
largest deposit of the kind ever found.
The lake is fed by mineral springs. An
active volcano was found at Lake Ru-
dolph, and several others spouting mud
and steam were seen. The expedition
still continues its work under the man.
