Happy months" Is tbe name applied to the little mluce piee made at Christ mas time throughout Englnud and served to any guests who may call nt the house during the holidays. The saying is that for every one of these tiny pies one eats a happy month will come during the year, only the plea must be glreu to the oue who eats them. When one culls at tbe house the tittle pies are brought forth with a glass of wine or a cup of tea. and. however well satisfied one may already be as regards one'e appetite or how many of these "happy month" pies he has al ready, eaten. It la considered a marked breach of etiquette to refuse the little pie, although one is allowed to take It borne and eat It later. This, however, is not very often done, for who woold refuse the coming of a happy month by refusing to overtax the stomach for Just one more little pie? In some parts of England these little pies are literally made by tbe dozen, so there will be plenty of them for family and friends. Tbey are made ot the richest of putt paste, too, which, at tbe beet ot times, is an Indigestible goody, and the crust la filled wltb a mince meat filling that is even richer than the crust Suburban Life. CEYLON ELEPHANTS. The Only Speelee In Which the Males Heve No Tueke. What a sight for a Ceylon elephant hunter would be the first view of a herd ot African elephant ell tuskers! It la a singular thing that Ceylon Is tbe only part of the world where tbe male elephants have no tusks.' 'may have miserable little grabbers project ing two or three Inches from the upper Jaw and inclining down warn. Nothing produces either ivory or horn In fine specimens tbrooghoot Cey lon. Although some of the buffaloes have tolerably fine heads, they .will not bear a comparison with those of other coonttiee. The horns of tbe na tive cattle are not above four Inches in length. The elk and the spotted deer's ant lers are small compared with deer of their size In India. Tbls la the more singular aa It la evident from tbe geo logical formation that at some remote period Ceylon was not an Island, but formed a portion of tbe mainland. It Is thought that there must be elements wanting in tbe Ceylon pasturage for the formation of Ivory. Ceylon Man- 500 LOTS OR MORE.
