Until a century ago 'breakfast" con-
sisted only of a draught of ten or choco-
late. There were only two meals n
day, dinner ranging from . Il. IN. in
the fifteenth century to noon in the
seventeenth. and supper. which simll-
arly advanced from s p. III. to : O'Clock.
But in the eighteenth century dinner
WAS gradually postponed until 5 or q
in the afternoon. When If passed mid
day breakfast became Il necessity and
n meal. Before this hunger had de-
manded the addition of bread and some
such relish as radishes to the morning
draught But when, II hundred years
ago, cold meats and fish began TO he
served at breakfast, the utmost sur
prise was expressed. Its novelty made
1t fashionable, and led to the giving
OF breakfast parties, of which Mr..
Gladstonc's were the last.

former was demonstrated this last
summer to the great amusement Of the
people at nm inland lake.
A party Of three-young Mr.. md
Mrs. aud an odd man-were rowing. 1t
might be remarked that the young hus-
band is accused by his wife OF being
terrific tease" As they approached
boat IL which an aged, lone fisher
man sat patiently watching his line

young husband whispered hoarsely In
tones OF horror: Look! Look! He's
smoking his pipe upside down! Great

His wife looked up in alarm at the
implied horror in his voice, and gaz-
ing in the direction in which her hus-
band was pointing saw the old fisher
man. his pipe grippcd in his teeth viii,
the bowl inverted.
His danger was not apparent to the
unsophisticated little woman; but sure

and voice betrayed some great impend-

'Oh. Bob! -he poor man! Tell him

apprised her Of the fact that once

Gencalogists who have traced the
blood royal of Britain have found that
people so widely different as Arch
bishop Temple and Sir Wiifred LAW
son are relatives of the King. There
IRE 3G,135 persons whose descent can
be clearly and undisputabiy traced to
be of royal lineage. In addition to
these. nearly double that huge num-
bcf has some connectin. link more or
less established.
The great family of Jones have over
1000 members who come of royal
blood. The Smiths are well represent
ed, and over 1000 Wilson's are Of the
line. If you are called Churchill you
may safely pride yourself on royal
connection, for nearly the whole OF
that great family are linked, however
remotely, with blue blood. A large
number of Sandersons have also this
distinction. Another name. with its
variations, which is largely represent
ed in this record total of relatives, Is
that of Manners. Equally distln
guished is the great army of Morleys
and also of Valletorts. These names
by no means exhaust the list.

The Southern Cross" is owned by n
syndicate Of Australian gentlemen,
who value 1t at $4,000. So far as is
known it occupies al absolutely unique
position. 1t consists of nine pearls
naturally grown together in so regu,
lar manner as to form a perfect
Latin cross. The pearl was discovered
by pearl fisher Mt Roebourne, West

it with SO much superstition that he
