Announcing a Meal. Among th- .-urious byways of social history and household custom, says the London Globe, is that which is concerned with the mode of announcing that dinner or any other meal is or shortly will be ready. The dinner bell is. of course, the oldest of these modes. In mediaeval times the monastery or convent bell rang out on the quiet country air many times in the course of the day and night, and one of the many . summonses was that which drew them I to the refectory. And in later ages ■ there are frequent allusions in litera- ' tore whi-h show that the bell method i was still in constant favor notwith- i standing the customary use of other i modes of summons. Spoiled Hi» Trip. A man in central Kansas, according to the Kansas City Journal, had trou-1 Lie with his wife and more trouble - with his mother-in-law. The wife! died. On the day of the funeral the undertaker started to put the man in the same hack with his mother-in-law. The man balked. "I won't ride with her." said he. "But you must.” replied the undertaker -The other hacks are all full.” “Well, if I must I will.” said the man, "but it will take away all the pleasure of the trip." Descriptive.
