QUEER DISHES OF 1882.
Remarkable Viands Served at a Ban,
quet in London.

A Spanish visitor to London in 1882
describes banquet of that day: II
will tell you no lye," he begins eau.
tiously: 81 saw such kindes of meate
eaten as are wont to be sene and not
eaten; as q horse rosted, cat in
gely, little lizards with whot broth,
frogges fried, and divers other sortes
Of meates. which I save them cate,
but I never knew what they were till
they were eaten" The "quaking
custard'' of that period was a huge
dish in the middle of the table, into
which, "at private signal, the city
fool suddenly leaped, over the heads
OF the astonished feasters, who were
instantly despatched with this rich
and savory mud" Undeterred, how
ever, by this nasty behavior, the citi-
zens not only ate plentifully of the
custard, but even took some home to
their wives. Nor were the women OF
those days backward in demanding
expensive dainties for themselves, it
seems; for an essayist of 1901 sar-
castically asks: "Who will not ad.
mire our nice danes of London, who
must have cherries at 20 shillings a
pound, and peascods' at 5 shilling a
peck? Yong rabbettes of a spanne
and chickens of an inch?"

FERRY SINKS IN HARBOR
PANIC FOLLOWS A COLLISION ON
gf HUDSON RIVER.
Many Persons Have Narrow Escape
.. Big Boat Nearly Cut in Two
r.. ,s,z~.~ by Crash.

New York, Dec. 31.-Many lives
were imperiled and a mad panic re-
suited among passengers on the Erie
railroad ferry, Paterson, when that
vessel was struck Saturday by huge
freight lighter in the middle of the
Hudson river and sunk.
The Paterson was cut nearly in two,
and only the most desperate work on
the part Of the crews of both vessels
saved scores of men, women and chill
dren from going to the bottom of the
river with the ferry boat. The ferry
sank so quickly that the crew was
unable to transfer Is horses on board
to the lighter and they went down
with the boat The horses belonged
to Swift & Co., Of Chicago.
The Paterson was on it's way to the
Twenty-third street New York; slip
from Jersey City when the collision
occurred. It was still dark and the
air was thick with fog. The fog is
blamed for the collision.
The freight lighter struck the Pater-
son amidships with terrific force and
the big ferry boat at once began to
sink. The passengers were terror
stricken and many tried to leap over
board, but were restrained by the
crew. They were rushed on board the
lighter, which stuck to the ferry until
all were taken off.
AS the water came up around the
horses they lunged and reared vio-
lently. Some were released by the
drivers before the men had to rush
to the locks above. There was no
escape for the animals, however, and
they could only swim about in the in
closure. The deck came down on
them, and all were drowned.

WHEN HER MEMORY FAILED.
For Once Mrs. Binks Had Proved
False to Trust.

Mrs. Binks stands high in the ranks
OF club women, and bears reputation
for possessing keen and reliable
memory. It is quite the thing when
question arises as to place or date
or name, whether in ancient or mod,
ern history, in home or foreign lands,
in the realms Of literature or art, or
personal data in club events, to decide
the discussion by referring to the pop,
ular member. ooh, ask Mrs. Binks.
she'll remember" has become almost
q watchword among the club women.
On recent afternoon, as Mrs.
Bfnks was starting out to attend a
club meeting the house maid came
with the request: please ma'am
won't you get me yeast cake on your
way home? forgot to order one
when the grocery boy was here. Won't
you please remember, ma'am?" she
urged with the freedom of a servant
who has been long with the family.
When Mrs. Binks returned she
brought her sister home with her to
dinner Norah opened the door visit
fully and waited moment or two be-
fore whispering to the younger WON,
an: "Oh, Miss Grace, please won't
you run around the corner for a yeast
cake? I just knew Mrs. Binks would
forget it! You know she never can
remember anything!" ~,

The Limit for Her.

IT am the thirteenth of family of
10, and was born on the 18th of the
month and have never had any luck
in my life,'' said the superstitious
woman. consequently I am not fly
ing in the face of Providence in the
matter of unlucky numbers to any
great extent; so the other day when a
woman got on the car and took her
seat in front of me with four little ami
mals-those crosses between squirrels
and prairie dogs they are wearing on
their furs this winter-on her muff,
and two on her boa, and then another
woman got in and sat down by her
with her five little animals on her
muff and two on her boa, and every
one of these little ANIMALS looked
straight at me out of their bright eyes,
I had the car stopped and got off,"

No Respecter of Poets.

The American visit of the younger
Irving recalls, to literary folk, the as.
ISOLATION between Sir Henry Irving
and Tennyson. It will be remembered
that the great actor-manager produced
several of the poet laureate's plays,
sometimes with notable success. One
of the first of these ventures was The
Cup, and Tennyson was hugely pleased
with the financial outcome, but not a
little hurt when, attending a perform
ance, he found that many lines had
been "cut."
But Irving thought quite as much of
his art of the actor as did Tennyson
of that of the poet.
EYES," he said dryly, 1--WE have cut
several lines. We find it necessary to
do quite as much cutting in Shake
speare." .>
And Tennyson was silent.-Satur.

When Doqs Were Cooks,

The turkey, roasting before the
open fire, revolved slowly and regu-
larly on the spit. An antiquary, re-
garding it, said:
"There was a time when dogs did
our roasting for us-at least, they
kept the meat turning, so it would
not burn Spit dogs they we're called,
and we call their descendants 'spitz'
to this day. ~.~
"Spit dogs were trained to turn
the splits on which roasted chickens,
beef, ducks and turkeys. The little
fellows did their work well. They
were never known to let fowl burn
or to snatch a mouthful or two
from it. .'
"As late as 1916 spit dogs were
employed in the old Philadelphia inns
on Second and Third streets"

Reclaiminu Land in India,

A scheme is proposed at Lahore,
India, by the government to reclaim
a large area of land on the Dutch
plan. The Ram of Clutch is a sea-
shore waste, with narrow inlets which
would be closed, allowing the shallow
water to evaporate. The saline de-
posits would be washed out by a
great canal from the Indus. The ap-
plication of scientific agriculture to
the reclaimed land and the construc-
ton of railway linking Karachi and
Bombay would complete the enter
prise

Coal MINING Under Sea.

Up in Cape Breton Island, where
there are a great number of colleries
digging out coal from under the sea,
the submarine area thus undermined
now amounts to about 16 ordinary
farms of 100 acres EACH The outer
end of the hole is something over a
mile from shore. Strange as it may
seem, the workings have never been
invaded by sea water streams, al
though fresh water streams have been
encountered flowing out in the strata
under the ocean bed. The thickness
of the strata over the mines varies
from 500 to LAO feet. About $780,
900 tons of coal have thus far been
taken from these submarine workings,
and there is as yet no Indication Of
failure Of the beds. ].

SIX PERSONS SLAIN IN STREETS
AND SITUATION BECOMING
ACUTE.
AUTHORITIES PREPARE
TO MEET EMERGENCIES
Believed That Workmen Will Soon
Overthrow Fomenters of Disorder
and Resume Labors-Many Fac
tories Closed Down.

LODI, Russia, Dec. 31.-The situa-
ton here is rapidly becoming acute.
Sanguinary encounters were frequent
sons were killed and IL wounded.
The authorities, at first supine, are
now more active and are preparing to
meet all emergencies. 1t is generally
anticipated that the Workmen will
eventually secure the upper hand over
the socialists, drive out the agita-
tors and resume work within few
days.
The principal Polish banks say
they do not fear any financial difficult
ties among the firms which have been
forced to close down their works.
Factories to Close Down.
The proprietors of seven of the
largest factories here, employing 100,-
900 persons, have announced their in
tention Of closing their establishments
in consequence of the system of ter
rorism inaugurated by the extreme So
cialists. The announcement caused
excitement among the inhabitants gen.
orally Of this city, as we'll as among
the better classes of the factory en-
ployes, who fear that when this great
army of unemployed persons begins
to feel the want of bread, rioting will
occur. The factory employees as rule
are without any means to support
themselves and their families during
the hard winter prevailing. One Of the
principal mill owners informed a cor
respondent of the press that the en-
ployers were compelled to close down
because the militant socialists con-
troll the entire city and are numbering
all those who do not accept their
demands, which makes the continu-
ance of business impossible.
Scores of Workmen Slain.
The socialists here Friday MUIR
dered no less than score of national
list worl1men in this city and vicin-
ity, and they threaten to organize
street riots and compel citizens at the
point of revolvers to feed and lodge
the unemployed.
The manager of the Scheiblers' cot
ton mills and the foreman and engi-
neer of another factory were MUIR
dered during the night by socialists,
and the engineers of those and other
establishments, fearing assassination,
refused Saturday morning to return
to their work Consequently, four of
the largest cotton mills shut down
early Saturday and others closed in
the evening. The four which locked
out their men Saturday morning we're
the two Scheibler mills and the Foz-
nanski and Grohman mills, which COL
lectively employ about $4,000 men, but
double that number are Indirectly af-
fected.
Several street encounters occurred
during the morning. The engineers
and skilled artisans are leaving LODI.
Many of the wealthiest inhabitants of
LODI have left in anticipation of dis
order.

ing story Of q prominent Pennsylvania
politician whose clean-shaven countenance
and invariable habit of wearing black
clothes give him very priestly' air. He

Girard was born in Bordeaux, France,
IN 175O. the son of a sea captain. He
became a sailor when he was sixteen, and
at the age Of twenty three was captain
and part owner of ship engaged in the
West Indian and American coastwise
trade. He settled in Philadelphia in 177s,
and extended his coastwise shipping trade
until ten years later found him the pos

subscribers had been sought In vain
Forbidding in his appearance, misery in

Children of the Army.
From Army and Navy Lift

From Army and Navy Lire.
The conditions confronting officers and
men who have children to educate are
simply pitiful. Many an officer is at this
moment in debt and paying interest on
borrowed money so that he may send his
son or his daughter to good school, or
keep them in some city where their edu.
cation will be continuous and uninterrupt-
ed. No matter of domestic economy
touches officers more deeply than this OF
the childrens education.
1t is true that the public schools of q
city. If the post be near a city, are gen.
erous in taking boys and girls in. and
some do SO for a tuition fee, but 1t Is,
cannot demand local school service as a
right because OF his profession and his
residence on military reservation. Even
when near city, the post is outside of 1t,
and the children spend from two to four
hours daily travelling behind army mules
to and from the schoolhouse.
The so-called post schools now es-
tablished, and to which children are some-
times sent through absolute necessity be-
cause of isolation, are a farce, for the Of
ficer having the high sounding title Of
superintendent of post schools" Is gen.
orally so fully occupied with other engag-
ing military duties that he can give little
or no attention to the school development
and system, while the man who Is teacher
has usually never acted In that capacity
before,
