An Enulish Amenitu.

A striking difference between our
manners and those Of our English
cousins was shown one day at a gar
den party. The hostess, an American,
was speaking to one Of her guests, an
Englishwoman Of rank.
Dear Lady b." she said, "here are
some sandwiches which l made with
my own hands, particularly for you.
You know I've often told you about
our American sandwiches and how
good they are. Here are different
sorts, lettuce and cucumbers, if you
care for grass or if you like a savory
better try the cream cheese ones with
pimentoes. I've some sweet ones, too,
raisins and nuts chopped together
which will you try first?"
She held a plate in each hand, a
plate filled with dainty looking sand
wiches, and they were extended invit-
ingly toward her guest, who looked at
them critically, then said in the clear,
high pitched voice of the we'll bred
Englishwoman:
"Oh, thank you, so kind of you, but
do you know I never touch the nawsty
things?"- Plain Dealer.

Beer For Breakfast.

Sixteenth century children in Eng
land ate very different food from that
consumed by modern American young
sters. The following dietary is taken
from the Northumberland Household
Book, showing the nursery breakfasts
at the beginning Of the sixteenth cen
tury: "This Is the Ordre of Braikfastis
for the Nurcy for my Lady Margaret
and Master Ingeram Percy every day
in the week in Lent: Item, a Manchet
Ia small loaf of white bread], Quartz

an unknown beverage, but the beer Of
those days was very different from the
modern article and much more harm

me the few hours off. 1 have to assist

"But surely you are above such
things as that which take you away

Chance For a Home Run,

A clever teacher who has the power
of calling out originality in her pupils
says that she would have no use for
text books if she took time to answer
all the startling questions asked in
the classroom. One day the attraction
of gravitation was under discussion
when one Of the boys said that he
didn't see any need Of it, anyway.
ut seems to me-" said he, there's no
particular use in having the earth at
tract things. Now, when the apple
fell and made Newton think out the
reason for it, that apple might just as
we'll have stayed where it was until
somebody gathered it."
"You play ball, don't you" asked
the teacher. 'Well, suppose you knock
the ball very high, what happens?'

ward the earth it wouldn't fall. Don't

Of hyyhotism and was sent on Mich

the conductor asked for tickets the

Couldn't Stick Him Aqain.

A bishop, accosted in Fifth avenue,
New York, by a neat but hungry stran-
ger, took the needy one to a hotel and
shared a gorgeous dinner with him,
yet, having left his episcopal wallet in
the pocket Of a different episcopal jack
ct, suddenly faced the embarrassment
Of not possessing the wherewithal to
pony up. "Never mind" exclaimed his
guest; "I have enjoyed dining with you,
and shall be charmed to shoulder the
cost. Permit me-" Whereupon the
stranger paid for two. This worried
the prelate, who insisted, "'Just let me
call a cab and We'll run up to my hotel
where I shall have the pleasure of re-
imbursing you" But the stranger met
the suggestion with, "See here, old
man, you've stuck me for bully good
dinner, but hanged if I'm going to let
you stick me for car fare!"

In the Beecher family the name of

came very angry at playmate and,
stamping her foot, said, IT hate you,
and I don't want anything more to do
with you, nor your manservant, nor
your maidservant, nor, your OK, nor

proved her, asking he If she knew
what she was saying.

Spain's Canny Railroads.

In Spain the railroads do not lose
chance to make a little profit even in
the case of the nontravelers. When
you see somebody off in that country
you must pay for the privilege. The
railroads all sell billetes de anden,
which are good for the platform only.
These cost generally centimos, equiv
alent to cent in American money.
Just why this is done it is hard to see,
because persons entering train can
not very we'll avoid the conductor, who
is always making trips to inspect the
carriages. If person attempted to
steal a ride in carriage, he would
have small chance Of getting away
with it. If caught, he would have to
pay a penalty Of just twice the fare
between the point where he was dis
covered and the point where tickets
last were inspected-New York Sun.
