A Great Feast.

There has never been prepared at
any feast bigger bowl of punch than
that which was brewed by the Right
Hon. Edward Russell when he was
captain general and commander in
chief of the forces in the Mediterra-
mean seas. 1t was made in a fountain
In a garden in the middle of four
walks, all covered overhead with
lemon and orange trees. In every walk
there was a table the whole length of
it, and on every table was cold COLA
ton In the huge fountains were the
following ingredients: Four hogsheads
of brandy, eight hogsheads of water,
$4,000 lemons, twenty gallons of lime
juice, 1900 pounds Of fine Lisbon
sugar, five pounds of grated nutmegs,
300 toasted biscuits and a pipe of dry
mountain Malaga.
Over the fountain was placed great
canopy, while in the midst of this lake
Of liquor there sailed little sailor boy
who filled the cups and replenished the
glasses of all those who had desire
TO drink More than 6,000 men put in

A Chinese bride called upon foreign
lady, says a missionary. On entering
the room she deliberately turned her
back upon her hostess and made an
elaborate obeisance. OF course the for
eign lady was amazed and annoyed,
but she found out the reason of the
strange proceeding afterward. The
brides conduct had conformed to Chi
nese etiquette.
She had performed her obeisance, her
k'o-t' lou, to the north because that is
the direction of the royal abode. If the
foreign lady was so ignorant as to
stand on the south side of the room,
that was not the brides concern. She
knew, if her hostess did not, in what
direction to bow her head.

that the blood is thrown out of the
heart at each pulsation in the proper
ton OF sixty-nine strokes of nine feet.
the mileage of the blood through the
body might be taken at 20T yards per
minute. seven miles per hour. les miles
per day. 1920 miles per year. or
5,150.oOO miles in a lifetime of eighty
four years. In the same period Of time

Dressing by Act Of PARLIAMENT.


The old sumptuary laws were those
regulations by which the dress and
food Of the kings subjects were nicely
controlled 1t was a sort of official
Mrs. Grundy. Fashion regulations for
men in particular were laid down on
very precise lines, and the changes in
their ATTIRE occurred much more fire.
quently than in women's. Very differ
ent is the case now In those days,
too, mems dress was bright and even
gaudy.
Prior to 1104 long hair was the regu-
lation In that year, however, Henry
l., Of blessed memory to BARRIERS, had
all his subjects locks ruthlessly shorn.
The next important edict of this kind
was under Edward I'LL, who insisted
that no one should have more than two
courses for dinner, except on the eight
cen holidays in the year, when the
kings lieges might eat and drink at
will.
OF interest to ladies will be the hard
fate that bekell the big sleeves worn
BY men under Richard H. We are told
that some hung down to the knees.
When pottage is brought to the table
1.-THE sleeves go into them and get the
first taste" In short, the nuisance WAS
so intoIerable that statute was passed
prohibiting any man below banneret
from wearing them.
