Lord Roberta Dish of OrtOlans

When Lord Roberts was out in India
he went to visit hill station where
there was much difficulty in securing
a variety of food. In fact, as far as
meat went, the officers were practical
ly reduced to living on ortolans, which,
much esteemed as a table delicacy. On
the evening on which the commander
in chief arrived he was asked what
he would like for breakfast What is
the answer, I'VE have ortolans." THAT
will do" replied Lord Roberts. Let
me have some ortolans." Now, the Of
ficer who superintendent these matters
was in the habit of going out every
morning and shooting his own ortolans,
but as he was busy on this occasion
with extra parade and staff duties he
gave his gun and cartridges to his
boy" bidding him go out and shoot as
many ortolans as possible for breakfast
The boy" went off and after time
returned, not with dainty ortolans, but
with common hedge sparrows. There
was nothing for it but to serve them
up, and when the cover was removed
10 and behold, thirty sparrows cooked
on toast! The commander in chief, it
is said, ate four of them with a good
appetite and without making any OBJ
servations.-London NJ. A. P.

A Continuous Smoke,

In the Philippines the use of tobacco
is universal. The native child acquires
the tobacco habit as soon as it is able
to walk. In the northern provinces es-
a child five or six years old putting Wig
orously at a big cigar. The women
smoke fully as much as the men and
commonly smoke cigars where the men
use cigarettes. In the northern parts OF
Luzon immense cigars often a couple of
feet long and us thick as the wrist are
used. Such a cigar is suspended from a
rafter of the house by string and
smoked during the day by all the men,
bers of the family as desired.

A Cruel Criticism.

She was an amateur artist and, like
most of her kind considered herself
several laps in advance of the average
amateur. She was eager, however, to
know how her work would impress one
of the masters who had managed to
grasp tickle fame by the back of the
neck.
One day real painter called at her
home, and she Immediately conceived
the idea of testing him. She would
show him specimen of her handi-
work, but would reveal nothing that
might lead him to suspect her as being
the creator thereof.
So the fair amateur proceeded to
guide the real painter toward her mas
terpiece.
''0f what school would you call this
painting?' she Fixed expectantly.
''Of the boarding school," promptly
replied the real painter.
And a large dark spot suddenly APP
peared on the brilliant future of the
fair amateur.

GaIiIeo's Wit.

Galileo's wit, according to biogra-
ply. got him into trouble when he put
into the mouth of Simplicio. the foolish
opponent of the Copernican theory in
his Dialogues" an argument that
Pope Urban VIII. had himself devised
and insisted on Calico Incorporating in
the work. Calico made Simplicio quote
it as an argument lie had from very
eminent and learned parsonage" The
enemies of Calico persuaded Urban
that he had been made game Of" and
this was the offense of which Calico
was guilty. 1t was not for unfolding
the theory that the sun stands still and
the earth moves that Calico was tried
by the inquisition. Urban himself had
supported the Copernican doctrines
both as cardinal and as pope.

Dr. Moore's discovery brought to practial re- suits experiments carried on by 8 celebrated German, Professor Nobbe, of Thrandt.

As tie first cost of such 8. vessel, in cludeing it's mach inery and guns, is about seven million five hundred thousand dollars, the actual loss resulting from deterioration or from other causes i9 at least one thousand dollars per day.

There is more Cattarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was SUD- posed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pro- n0uneed 1t 8 local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced 1t incurabla. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall Catarrh Cure, manufactured by r. J. Cheney & Co.,, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. 1t is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to 8 teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous sur faces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case 1t fails to cure. Send for circu- lars and testimonials.

This is likely to be the inauguration of 8 move- ment for the establishment of an ofphaas' home, for which the surplus of revenue from the tem- pie would form d valuable endow- ment.
