A Breakfast. 1873.

Mr.. Weddell, in his curious 'FVoy-
age Up the Thames" from Somer-
set Stairs to Windsor, in a sailing
barge or boat, in March, 1873, notes
that ale was then still served fol
breakfast. He says: Having start
ed about 1 o'clock one afternoon
the next morning we arrived safe
at Stains about Ten in the Fore
noon, and went to a House of En-
tertainment, where everything ap-
peared in a very good Taste
Breakfast was brought, consisting
of Chocolate, Coffee, Ham, Cheese,
Ale and Wine. l mention the Par
ticulars, because it was the first
time 1 remember seeing things
brought in this manner, and is what
I approve of, since in a Company OF

How a Snail Rreathes.

The breathing operation in a
snail is one Of the queerest processes
imaginable and is carried on with
out the least semblance Of lungs.
The orifce through which he takes
his supply of ''the breath Of life"
is of course called the mouth, not
withstanding that it is situated in
the side of his great suckerlike foot.
The process of breathing is not car
ried on with anything ike regular
ity, as it is in most creatures, the
mouth simply opening occasionally
to let in supply of fresh air, which
is expelled by the same opening as
soon as the oxygen has been ex-
hausted. The snail's peculiar mouth
is provided with a tongue set with
hundreds of fine teeth.

PROVERBS ABOUT TREES.
Beautiful Thoughts Finely Expressed
by the Hindoos.

| Beautiful Thoughts Finely Expressed
by the Hindoos.
Many are the proverbs relating to
trees which are to be heard in India.
Among the proverbs that speak of
the banyan there is one which says,
Gas the banyan, so are its hanging
shoots; as the father, so the sol" "
This probably means that if the
tree be in good soil and well nour-
ished it will be strong and thriy-
ing; so will its shoots. Just so the
fathers health and character viii
be reflected In his son. Tales of
brinjals growing on a banyan tree
is an expression equivalent to
travellers tales "a gentle hint
that the narrator is drawing the
long bow. The nimb (Azadirachita
indica) recalls a saying the appropri-
ateness of which can be understood
by those who know its thick shade
and who know also what the burn
ing heat of a tropical sun is, "a
mothers love is like the shade Of
the nimb tree"
It is a beautiful thing, this Hin
doc mothers love, seldom, if ever,
absent, and carried often even to
such excess that it becomes weak
ness. It is so deep and true that it
cannot understandable action is
altogether beyond its comprehen-
sion-that a mother could part with
her young children for them to be
educated in another country. The
wild fig tree is said not to flower at
all, yet people believe that it really
does so, only it is at night, and then
but for a minute or two, although if
procured it is maFvelously bene-
fetal; hence it comes to be applied
to visit from friend after long
ABSENCE great rarity. Another
form of it is, ''To meet with the
flower of the wild fig and to meet
you are alike" There is a descrip-
ton of Iaziness than which it would
be difficult to find anything more
explicit, ''TO die from starvation
beneath a ripe fig tree"
The teak tree (Tectona grandis)
is the one tree Of all others in In
dia that is useful and indispensable
1t is not, therefore, surprising to
find this belief expressed as follows;
"Among trees there is only one
the teak. The rest are old women"
The same truth is expressed in a
different way, "Wood of the teak
and the child of king" But these
are the very best of their kind; as
is the Importance and rank of a
prince among subjects, so is the
quality of the teak among trees.
This saying relating to the mango
; (Mangifera indica) may be given:
|Let US throw a stone in the mango
tree and see. If it hit, it will hit.
If it doesn't, it won't" 1t is the
equivalent of "having a shot" at a
thing-trying to get something out
of a good and benevolent man. If
if succeed, well. If not, then there
is nothing lost.-Times of India.

A schoolmaster who happened to

HIS CELL, DOCTORS SAY
Convict Lawyers Prison Term Due
TO Expire In a Few Weeks.

sentence in the Blackwell's Island

acute kidney affection.

pire within a few weeks, but the

that he will not live to be a free
man again. DIR. Matz of the peni-
tentiary medical stan said today that
Hummel's death may be expected at
any moment

placed on diet. 1t was the belief
of many at the time that he was
shamming, but the prison physicians
say he has not experienced well

1T was Hummel before whom Eve

in which she told OF the alleged
cruelties of her husband. was made
several months prior to the tragedy
on the Madison Square Roof Gar
den. The Thaw case will be retired
shortly after the holidays.
The prisoner has been considered
one OF the "smoothest' lawyers I'm tho
city of New York. His conviction ~
said 10 have been a severe blow to
his pride, and his friends attribute
his Illness to the humiliation he sun
cred as result OF the sentence.

COLD DRIVES WOLVES TO TOWN

WINNIPEG. Man. Jan. 10.-In- tense cold and heavy falls of snow are already driving wild animals into the towns and cities for food. Saturday morning a wolf appeared running down Main street in the most popu- lated district. and a little later lynx was killed within a short distance of the new Canadian Pacific depot.
 From Saskatoon comes dispatch to the effect that the dreaded grey wolves. starved from the scarcity of deer and other game in the North. have come down upon the historic re- zion Of Batache in great numbers and are a terror to the people. They chas ed two men and one climbed tree where a number of the pack howled under him all night long. The rest of the pack chased another man into his own back yard, where he found refuge. This invasion of wolves, which is more or less common in all farming settlements in western Cana ia. is said to be caused by the great scarcity of rabbits and small game this season.
