English Dainties.
From the London Chronicle.


A genius might possibly find word for
the meals Of the ladies Of the early nine
teenth century. But they neither
''brunched,' ''tiffined.'' chopped" nor
"socked." There was Hannah More: AT
four we dine" she wrote. 1--WE have
the same elegant table as usual. but I
generally confine myself to one single
dish of meat. I have taken to drink half
a glass of wine. At six we have coffee,
at eight tea, when we have, sometimes,
dowager or two of quality. At ten
we have salad and fruits" The dinner
at four We nearly understand. but the
coffee at six, the tea at eight, and the
salad at ten.
BLEAK House." which is said TO have been
a mixture Of bread. pounded almonds,
cream eggs. lemon peel, sugar nutmeg
and mar ow one can recall many other
delicacieS that have practically vanished
from the Londoners' bill of fare. Take,
for instance. the once popular "alamode
beef In Dickens time shops for it's sale
were dotted all over Londan, while now
the present writer knows only one estab-
lishment. in Fleet street, whe 1t can
be enjoyed, to the accompaniment of
potatoes in their jackets, and the whole
washed down with porter served in it's
native pewter, after the fashion of our
grandfathers time.
Where. also, can one find a survivor
of the old "eel-pie houses" where the pies
were served smoking hot and with a
quantity of gravy that was quite en-
barrassing to outdoor customers? Some
twenty years ago one existed in Fleet
street. close to ST. Dunstan's Church, that

Millionaires in America.

FROM the Berlin Iagepldtt
They all came to New York, Chicago
or Philadelphia with one shirt and with
one cent In the pocket Of the only other
garment All served as bootblacks, err
rand boys or even in more humble posi-
tions and in the second week had saved
enough to buy waistcoat. After one
month they appeared before their re-
spective employers clad In new clothes
and told them with impos ng self-confi-
dence that the organization Of their busi-
ness was defective and required reorgani-
cation. A year later the boy has become
a partner. in two years he has outsr pped
the former boss in wealth, and year
later he has grown smart enough to kill
off the benefactor of other days. All
American millionaires arise at 3 in the
morning. eat and drink almost nothing.
cease their work at midn ght and allow
only those to live whom they think
good enough to invite. Every dol

museum or a picture gallery. Life be-
comes a burden to them when there are
no more competitors in their branch
worthy of destruction. Then they lie
down and die Of ennui

Carrier Pigeons as Spies

From the Westminster Gazette.
DIR. j. Neubronner OF Cronberg has had
the ingenious idea of employing carrier
pigeons to photograph country which they
fly over and thereby collect Typographical
and other information which might prove
of considerable use in war.
a specially designed camera of micro
scopic proportions is fitted with an in
genious mechanism for working it auto
matically. 1t is fixed to the birds breast.
At the Dresden Photographic exhibition
the whole process is shown. For practi-
cal use it is necessary that the pigeons
should fly in more than one direction.
This to some extent is secured by keep
ing the birds in cotes on railway wagons.
to which, wherever they are shifted, the
pigeons return as surely as TO sta
tionary home.
