FORTY COURSES FOR DINNER.

ones digestive organs, writes Douglas
Carruthers in the April Wide World
Magazine 1t was continual source of
ANNOYANCE to US, this overlooking at
lengthy and almost nauseatlng Chinese
dinners. We could seldom get out of
them, however. Imagine the effect of
forty courses None could be refused,
as your host impressed on you as each
dish was brought in the exact cost of
it, its rarity, and its characteristics.
Then he asks you your opinion. OF
course you say it's eXceileat-and he
promptly gives you some more! Fishes
fins, ancient eggs. bamboo shoots, sea-
slugs, seaweed, all naturally result in a
bad head and worse stomach. The
Chinaman cannot do without his favorite
dishes even in the most out of-the way
corner of the empire. Long caravans
of camels carry these delicacies across
the Cobb to the capital of the New Do
minions. on the outskirts of the empire.

ONE MAN WHO CATERS FOR 500, 000
PEOPLE DAILY.
In the April Strand Magazine Sir
Joseph Lyons, the biggest caterer In
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES in the world tells the
story OF how he first conceived the idea
Of feeding the masses. II CHANGED,
he saws, that, to satisfy the inner man,
one morning in the eighties l strolled
into dirty-to me, repellent-llttie Lon
don restaurant. These unappetizing es-
Establishments were almost invariably
small. being limited in the capacities for
cooking and serving of the man and his
wife, with, perhaps, one or two waters.
They were also, almost invariably dark,
stutfy little places, often infested with
cockroaches; and as for their kitchens,
thew were things liable to cause night.
mares / prefer not to tell of
them. The city clerk who wanted
snack had to pay eight cents Tor a cup
of coffee or tea, a two cent tip, ana two
or four cents for bun. 1t goes without
saving that these charges were beyond
his slender means; result, he adjourned
TO the nearest bar and had glass OF
beer.
Well. on the occasion to which | refer
| entered the said restaurant, ordered
the least uninviting dish could hit upon,
and turned things over IN my mind during
the Internationally long time | had to
wait for the arrival of my repast. had
often enough before this reflected how
great fortunes had been made by the
discovery of some simple universal want
waiting to be supple In flash 1t
came to me that | had discovered just
such simple unsupplied universal want
clean and decent fare in bright and
conpenial surroundings at reasonable
price.
And there and then was laid the found
alton tone of a business which now
feeds about two million OF the lnhablt-
ants of London, and which on every
working day in the year caters Tor over
five hundred thousand men, women, and
children-a business, too, which hnds
work for nearly sixteen thousand EN-,
ployees, which possesses two hundred
and fifty branches (the number is stead
lily increasing, both in London and the
provinces), and which has no fewer than
hundred and twenty thousand agents
throughout the country selling our
wares" Yes, in a small way-and
write it with due humility-a chance
visit of a discontented artist to dirty
restaurant has exercised a considerable
influence, indeed, over the lives OF very
large section of men, women and chill
dren in Great Britain.

THE AMERICAN SPIRIT.

This American spirit has made trial of
Socialism under many schemes, all end
ing in failure; but still it struggles to
reconcile the laws of production and dis
tribution with even-handed justice,
though its vision is confused by the i'm
mense respect which it has always felt
for success, whether clean or unclean.'
1t makes laws in the interest of good
morals, severely prohibiting the use of
alcohol and tobacco; yet again, it breaks
laws by appealing to the Higher, or the
Unwritten Law; and it is SO entangled in
casuistries that because of comma mis-
placed it will let a murderer go free. 1t
is soft even to sentimentallsm, but per
mits Judge Lynch to work his will in
ways not to be described. Its Bird of
Freedom" is jest and an inspiration to
Lowell, who treats it as comic symbol,
yet would have died rather than give up
q feather from that eagles wing. 1t is
emphatically the esprit of the crowd, -
liable to sudden enthusiasms, to I'M
reasoning panics, to run mad about
celebrity one week and to forget who he
the slightest breath of criticism, but can
he humored like a child with a little judi
cious management. 1t is lofty, forgiv-
ing, good-natured, alert. curious, and
Goes not suspect irony. Its age is youth;
its ambition is to have a world made in its
image and likeness; its trial passed into
a more perlous phase when the Civil
War ended by establishing democracy
William Barry, in the April Atlantic.
THE INDESTRUCT1BILITY OF THE HOME.
No matter how many girls spurn
homework, homes will still exist. No
matter how many women Sink dlscour-
aged into hotels and boarding houses, the
best of families will always live in sepa-
rate homes No matter how many men
remain unmarried, the majority will al
ways have wives and children. The mil
ennium itself will not be without the
family Hotels and boarding houses,
even, are merely megatherlanlzed homes;
and no matter how much sensible CO.
operation in washing and sewing, cook
ing and the care of children and sick folk
may be compassed, even those million
aires will still have beds to be made,
floors to be swept, doors to be tended,
clothes to be sorted, buttons to be sewn
on, papers to be burned, dishes to be
washed, errands to be run, and windows
to be locked. Folks may live without
concerts and trolev- cars and books, but
they cannot live without sleeping, dress
ing, and eating, sickness, visitors, and
children; nor can tLey live without that
perpetual disorder that has to be perpet-
uaily cleared up, and that perpetual dls-
integratior of the material universe
which has to be perpetually swept up.
Domestic work there will always be.
The family itself may do it, or they may
nav some one else to do it, or they may
do part and pay some one else to do part;
but done it must be. Annie Winsor A.
len, in the April Atlantic.

THE FIRST WOMAN SENATOR IN THE HIS
TORY OF OUR COUNTRY.

THE FIRST WOMAN SENAIOR In IHE HIS
TORY OF OUR COUNTRY.
The following paragraphs about Helen
Ring Robinson, State Senator in Colora
do, are taken from the April Woman's
Home Companion: This year, in which
for the first time woman cast an cleo
toral vote for Pr. sidential candidate
(even though for a losing one,) has also
been signalized by the first appearance
of woman as a member of the Senate
of one of these United States. We have
hac several woman mayors and woman
members of the lower houses of State
legislatures, but Mrs. Helen Ring Robin
son has the distinction of being the first
Senator of her Sex in this country. Colo
RADIO has had equal suffrage for nineteen
wears, and the lower branch of the Leg
islature that met two years ago had four
woman members. These women con-
scientiously championed measures ema-
mating from women's clubs and similar
organizations, especially such measures
as were framed to better the condition
of working women and to safeguard the
morals of the young; but at the end of
the session, as at the end of preceding
sessions, the women of the State found
that their pet bills had been SO altered in
committee and in the Senate as to be I'M
recognizable. So they determined to
elect woman to the upper house to look
after their interests in that body. I'm
der the old convention system they could
never have secured place on the ticket
for their candidate, but fortunately last
year there were no primary conventions
in Colorado. Under a new law all noml-
nations were made by petition, and no
other petition filed with the Secretary of
State carried as many signatures as that
for the nomination of Mrs. Robinson.
Her election followed by vote in which
party lines were disregarded.
"Mrs. Robinson comes from New Eng
land, and is graduate Of Wellesley.
Prior to her marriage with Ewing Robin
son, an attorney Of Denver, she was

teacher in a school for girls; she has re
tanned her active interests in all educa-
tional matters. and her home in Denver
is looked upon as something of cultur-
al center. She has daughter now at
tending preparatory school. Mrs. Rob-
inson took no part in the effort to secure
her nomination, combining her campaign
to few public statements in which she
epitomized her views, incidentally declar-
ing concerted motherhood to be prime
need in legislation.

THE PUSH OF LIFE,

One of the most rem .fkable exhibitions
of plant force | ever saw was in a West
ern citvwhere observed a species of wild
sunfov+er forcing lis way up through the
asphalt pavement; the folded and com
pressed leaves of The plant, like a man S
fist, had pushed against the hard but
flexible concrete till it had bulged up and
then split, and let the irrepressible plant
through. The force exerted must have
been many pounds. think it doubtful
if the strongest man could have pushed
his fist through sucl a resisting medium.
If it was not life which exerted this
force, what was it? Life is kind of
explosion, and the slow continued ex-
blossoms Of this growing plant rent the
pavement as surely as powder would
have done. II is coubtful if any Guilt
waited plant could have overcome such
odds. 1t required the force of the un-
tanned hairy plant of the plains to &C.
