Puddiag at Baginning of Dinner.

The custom of serving padding as life first course at dinner seems to have Interested a good many people of our day. A gentleman from Maine informs the writer that it la still the custom in certain sections of his state. In the autobiography of the Adams family It Is mentioned that at a dinner given by the venerable ex-president of the United States, at which his grandchildren were present, the first coarse wss Indian pudding, and the little folks were told that the more pudding they ate the more beef they could have. So of course they gorged Jthemselves on the pudding, nnd as a consequence they had no appetite for beef when It was served. Thus were maintained the simple and economical methods of the forefathers. The boys who came to the city from the country and later became the successful and wealthy merchants of Boston were raised In a most frugal manner. Their breakfast the year round was of brown bread and milk and the same for their sapper. The dinner was of baked beans and pie, rarely any meat—Boston Transcript.

A Picturesque Statesman.

Tbe El Dorado Bepubllcan gives a picture of an early statesman and his picturesque attire: When the Hon. David Jj. McCabe was elected to tbe legislature from Butler county In 1865 and went to Topeka to be sworn In he astonished not only the natives, but everybody else, as he was the most gorgeously dressed statesman that Kansas had eVer produced. He was very dark, with long black hair. On his head was a coonskln cap, the tall of the coonskin hanging gracefully down his back. His coat was made of wolfskins nicely tanned and lined with red flannel. Six handsome tails hung from bis coat tails and flapped In the breeze as he meandered up to the speaker’s desk to take the oath. He wore a spotted doeskin vest, buckskin knee breeches, handsomely fringed; top boots, gloves made of beaver skin, a watch chain done in beadwork, a flannel shirt with a flaming red bandanna pocket handkerchief around his neck, and it is needless to say he created a sensation.

Inappropriate Quotations.

The following Is a. good example of inappropriate quotations: A clergyman appointed to an East End living found his parish church sadly In need of repair and gave orders for Its renovation. While this was in band the idea occurred 4o him to visit the mission halls in connection with it to see what might be needed there. In one of them which was used as a mission chapel he found a state of Indescribable filth from end to end and an accompanying effluvia. In disgust he raised Ills eyes toward the roof and could hardly repress a fit of laughter on reading the text stenciled on the wall behind the pulpit, “How dreadful is this place!” Another story is of an old Presbyterian clergy* man who, away on a preaching engagement, found above the bed on which he was to sleep the singular advice, “Occupy till I come.”—London Chronicle.

Luck and Labor.

If the boy who exclaims “Just my luck!” were truthful he would say “Just my laziness!” or “Just my inattention!” Luck is waiting for something to turn up. Labor, with keen eyes and strong will, will turn up something. Luck lies in bed and wishes the postman would bring him news of a legacy. Labor turns out at 6 o’clock and with a busy pen or ringing hammer lays the foundation of a competence. Luck whines; labor whistles. Luck relies ou chances, labor on character. Luck slips down to indigence; labor strides upward to independence.—Christian Advocate.

A Puzzle Fable.

An American heiress was wooed by a foreign prince, who urgently besought her to become bis wife. In order to test the sincerity of his love she asked, “Will you still marry me if I give away all my money for charity and become as poor as yourself?” The prince considered awhile, and then responded, “Tea, provided you will still marry me if I renounce my title and become a plain republican person like yourself.” Query.—Did she agree to his proposition?—Smart Set

He Worked On.

Wife—George, this burning of the candle at both ends means an untimely grave. It Is nearly 12 o’clock. Come to bed. George—But I’m doing this night work In order to find money enough to buy you a birthday present Wife—Well, If you will persist In working of course I can’t stop it Good night dear.

Drinks and Drops.

“Jenkins must be a pretty straight fellow. Dobbins tells me be never drinks a drop." “So? You probably m launders to6d Dobbins. What he said moat have been that Jenkins never drops a drink." —Baltimore News.

Sure Remedy Not Available.

ST. AUGUSTINE’S LITERARY SOCIETY.

A very interesting program was rendered by the St. Augustine’s literary society Sunday evening, Aug. 23. Under the management of the able and energetic president, Mrs. Mary Drake, a melo drama in four jets entitled, “One Year,” was rendered very successfully after but four rehearsals. The drama was impersonated by some of the very best talent of the society, viz: Mr. Montague Trevors, not as young as he would like to be Mr. Charles Lane Maud Trevors, a true-hearted girl Miss Alice Drake Birdie Trevors, a gay butterfly Miss Frances Eigelsbach Bob Dashing ton, with more money than 1 brains .Mr. Arnold Luers Gerald Laurence, with more brains than money Mr. Jos. Smith James Lyman, a faithless friend. .Joe. Luers Mrs. Stone, a gushing widow. ....... Miss Prudence Mercer, a good soul, Birdie’s governess Miss Emma Lane' Brewster ( c "I Richard Beck Marie \ bervants l . Christena Hildebrand. The minor as well as the main parts of the drama drew the attention and the hearty applause of the audience. Daring the intervals between the five acts the audience was delightfully entertained by the mnsic rendered on piano and violin by Misses Mable and Eda Stricbfaden, by a pleasant recitation of Miss Dora Oasey and by a song well snog by the two little girls Lnoy Healy and Gladys Beam. About ten o’clock the audience left the school-ball well pleased with the two hours’ entertainment. The next program will be given September 13. Since these programs are instructive as well as amnsing, very conducive to good sound sociability and supplementary mental culture, they always enjoy a numerous audience. Last Sunday an audience of over twohundred people attended the program regardless of the fact that the evening was a very warm one.

An Affair of Letters.

We are much surprised at meeting little Polly Contoesel, formerly of Bowersville, In England. “Why, Polly!" we say* “How Is it we find you here?" “Polly!” she repeats, wflfi K dignity we never knew she possessed. "Lady Oledebts, If you please.” An apology on our part establishes friendly relations once more, and she tells us that she really has won and wedded Lord Oledebts and that her father's dollars are being expended In the refurbishing of the Oledebts castle. "But,” we say, “It was rumored In Bowersrille that you were hesitating In your choice between three honest termer lads In the vicinity. How was it, then, that you married his lordship?” “Oh,” she titters, “he came to BowrrSriße one day. When I saw JilmJL dropped my eyes and he began dropping his b’s, and It wasn’t long until he induced me to.drop my j’s, and now we are both making papa drop his v’a and x’s.”—Judge.
