Concerning Brnkbata.

The breakfast appetite varies strangely. Some persons are content with a enp of coffee and a piece of toast others make it the most determined meal of the day. Once it was formidable indeed. In Sir John Hawkins' "History of Music" is quoted a sixteenth century manuscript belonging to the house of Northumberland which gives the breakfast arrangements of the Percy family both for Lent and for flesh days, and, oh, how some of us have fallen away in trencher work! Here is the simple Northumbrian scheme: "Breakfast for my lord and lady during Lent: First, a loaf of bread in trenchers, two manchets (a mauchet was a small loaf of white bread), a quart of beer, a quart of wine, two pieces of salt fish, six baconn'd herring, fonr white herring or a dish of sprats. Breakfast for my Lord Percy and Master Thomas Percy: Item, half a loaf of household bread, a manchet, a bottle of beer, a dish of butter and a piece of salt fish, a dish of sprats or three white herring. Breakfast for the nursery for my Lady Margaret and Master Ingeram Percy: Item, a mauchet, a quart of beer (this for the nursery), a dish of bntter, a piece of salt fish, a dish of sprats or three white herring."

At ordinary times my lord and lady fared thus: "First, a loaf of bread in trenchers, two manohets, a quart of beer, a quart of wine, half a chine of mutton, or else a chine of beef^oiled." Lord Percy and Master Tbomfts Peroy disposed of "half a loaf of household bread, a manchet, one bottle of beer, a cheeking, or else three mutton bones boiled," while to the thirsty nursery went "a manchet, one quart of beer and three mutton bones boiled."—Cornhill Magazine.

Australian Warfare. t'-

Their military tactics were simple in the extreme, but they were all the case required. They relied primarily upon surprises, secondarily upon noises, with a vague and diminutive tertiary element of reliance upon weapons. v-.-u'

The first sallies failed in this enoounter, but even though weapons were freely used for a brief period there was no considerable waste of material in the line of ammunition during the course of the combat. I noticed that most of the spears, waddies, clubs, or whatever weapons were thrown were either actually caught in the air or quickly gathered up and hurled back again. There was very little waste of blood, too, I am sure, if, indeed, blood spilled upon a native battlefield can be accounted wasted. There was very little waste of anything but words, and they were not really wasted, on our side at least, for they won the day. It was much less expensive and much more sensible than oivilized war. There was all of the fun and exoitement and noise in that battle that there is in a good game of football, without one-half the danger and serious results. There was as real relief to pent up patriotism and as good an airing of strained diplomatic relations, as well patronized an opportunity for calling hard names and saying bad things of each other, as oomplete exultation in victory, and as thorough, submissive chagrin in defeat as great guns and modern munitions ever seoured for two nations, and, withal, it was as barmless as a French duel.—Lippincott's.

l.ondon Hotels and Boots.

Leaving one's boots outside the bedroom door to be cleaned overnight is an essentially English custom, so English that it is not understood across the border, if we may put credence in Punoh's story of the Scotch host who replied to his English guest's statement, after an ambrosial night, that he would put his boots outside the door, "All ri', olefel', nobody'll touch 'em." But in London the practice is so well established that in some uf the nswer hotels each room is provided with a small cupboard having one door opening out into the passage and another into the room, in which boots may be placed. The outer door of the cupboard has a key, which is kept by the chambermaid, while the inner door can be bolted on the inside so as to insure the occupant of the room against any breaoh of his or her privacy. Besides the protection which it affords to boots, the arrangement has another advantage which will be specially appreciated by ladies, for it obviates the necessity of visitors appearing at their doors in dishabille to take in their hot water or tea.—Argonaut.

Talking With God.

Three or fonr elders were in a street car discossing the closing work, when one of them remarked that the appoint* xnents were all "fixed," and while the bishop had not told them positively what he would do yet everything was certain. "Don't be too certain of that," remarked another brother, who had been with Bishop Fowler before. "I was in a conference once with him, and we fixed things all up, after which the bishop asked to be allowed to oommnne with God for a little while. We left him alone with God, and when we came back he had mixed us up so we didn't know a permanent location from a confession of faith. Now, if be gets off to talking with God again he is likely to break that slate of ours into such small pieces that we can't find a piece of it big enough to write onr names on."— Lawrence Journal*

fighting thti Mohmnnd*.

Private Lever of the Bnffs tells two characteristics of the fight in which he was hit when General Jeffery, with the mountain battery and escort, was hemmed in a village all night by thousands of Mobmnnds. The wounded were lying under a wall exposed to torrents of rain and to showers of stones which the enemy burled down at them from houses near. It seemed impossible that any relieving force conld come to theiz aid before daybreak or that the mer€ handful of Buffs could hold out much longer. Their ammunition was running short. Then Lever heard one wonnded officer ask another, "How many shots have you got in your revolver?" "Only two." "Then don't waste them, old chap keep one for me, the other fox yourself."

When ammunition was so nearly exhausted that no orders were given tc fire until the enemy could be distinctly seen, a sudden rattle of irregular fire was heard on one side of the village, followed by savage yells, but no other sound. The few Buffs holding a post in that direction stood with rifles leveled ready to fire volleys directly a rush was attempted. The commotion came nearer, and just as the noncommissioned officer in charge of that post had the oominand to "present" on his lips the flame from a native gun flashed on bristling steel. British bayonets had been doing their grim work there in the darkness so silently that nobody thought friends were so near. The relief had oome. The enemy gave way, and a minute later Major Worlledge, with his companies of Sikhs and guides, entered the village.—London News. lipfe

Came to Grief.

Mr. Topnoody went to a minstrel show last niqht, and the funny conundrums and jokes he heard set him think ing. So at breakfast he began on Mrs. Topnoody. She was fretful and not very much in the humor for pleasantry, but Topnoody slashed away. "I say, Mrp. Topnoody, can you spell money with four letters?" "No, I can't," she said. "Ha, ha, that's good. A woman never can get at this sort of thing in the same clear headed way a man can. Well, the way to spell it is c-a-s-h. Isn't that money?"

Mrs. T. failed to smile, and Topnoody started out with another., "Wait a minute,"she interrupted, "I've got one. Let's see if you can get it. Spell Topnoody with five letters."

Topnoody puckered his brows awhile and gave it up. "Ha, ha," laughed Mrs. T., "that's good. A man can never get at this sort of thing in the same clear headed way a woman can. Well, the way to spell it is i-d-i-o-t. Isn't that Topnoody?"

But Topnoody never smiled, and the breakfast was finished in silence, except an occasional chuckle from Mrs. Topnoody's end of the table.—Pearson's Weekly

They are great people for paying one another's fare. When I come around to collect fares, both Chinamen put their hands in their pockets as soon as they see me, and it is always a race between them to see who can hand the ticket to me first. I have never known of a case where eaoh Chinaman paid his own fare. They seem to take the greatest delight in offering this little courtesy to one another. Watch and see if this is not the case when you see two of them get on a car togetjisr."—Washington Post.

The Timidity of an Elephant. Riding along a road in India I saw the following instance of a big elephant's timidity, which I venture to send you: The elephant, ridden by a mahout, was followed by a small Maltese terrier, which, intent en its own affairs, trotted before its master, making occasional instinctive investigations by the roadside after the manner of dogs, without particnlarly noticing other travelera From the first moment the elephant set eyes on the dog he never lost sight of him, tnrning from side to side always with an eye on the small animal and hurrying out of his way whenever he approached. The timidity of the one and the confidence of the other were irresistibly amusing.—Lon don Spectator.

There are some curious things about the Chinamen in this city that I have observed," said one of the conductors the other day on the Pennsylvania avenue street car line as the car stopped and two Chinamen got off. "They almost invariably take a car when they have any distance to go. I suppose that it is on account of the peculiar shoes they wear. Another thing that I have observed about tbem is that they always buy tickets. I have been on this line for along time now and I have the first nickel to receive from a Chinaman yet. Tbey travel, as a rule, in company, generally two together.
