Dickens U tho novel Ut ot the meat
No other writer, pile bo up Dover such
lists of delicacies (It for Lucullus, baa
the gusto Id describing humble feasts
which kIvps the very reader aa appe
tite. Thackeray, for ull his "Ballad ot
Boutllabuise," never touched the bem
of bis garments In the recording of
meals. Who that has read them can
ever forget, for Instance. Mrs. Gamp's
directions to the chambermaid for her
nocturnal refection, or the tea which
awaited Joe Willett and Dolly on their
return to the locksmith's dwelling on
tho occasion of Miss Miss's final rout,
or the unussumlng meals recorded In
"David Copperflold," or the more pre
tentious .feasts In "Pickwick." not for
getting the leg o' mutton "swarry" to
which Mr. Weller was Invited by the
elite of Bath footmen? And has not
every reader of "Martin Cburalewlt"
allowed a tender smile to curl bis lips
over the evolution of that Incompara
ble pudding in the preparation and
consumption of which such damage
was done to John Westlock's . affec
tions? So go and read and acquire
your appetite. London. Chronicle.
Above and Below Proof.
Before the means of determining the
true quantity of alcohol in spirits were
known dealers employed a very rude
method to form a notion of the
"strength." A given quantity of the
spirit was "poured upon gunpowder in
a dish and set on fire. If the gunpow
der continued dry enough It took fire
and exploded, but If It had been damp
ened by the water In the spirits the
flame tf the alcohol went out without
. setting the powder on fire. This was
'. called the "proof." Spirits which kin
dled gunpowder were said to be "above
;. proof," those that did not set fire to It
were said to be "below proof." but this
' did not fix the strength. Clark in his
hydrometer, which was invented about
the year 1730, fixed the strength of
proof spirits on the stem, at the spe
cific gravity of .920. at the temperature
of 60 degrees. This Is the strength at
which proof spirit is fixed by act of
parliament, and at this strength It is
no more than a mixture of forty-nine
pounds of pure alcohol with fifty-one
pounds of pure water. London Standard.

Case of Too Much Ham.
One morning not long ago there
tripped up to a butcher stall in a Bal
timore market a dainty little thing out !
for her first marketing. .
"My husband bought a couple of nice
bams from you not long ago." she an
nounced. "Yes'm." said the smiling butcher; "I
remember well. Fine bams, weren't
they?'
They were delicious.", said the
young wife. "Have you any more like
them?"
"Lots," responded the butcher, in
dicating a rw of bams in the rear of
the -stall.
The young thing surveyed the bams
thoughtfully. "Are you sure." she
finally asked, "that they're from the
same pig as that from which my hus
band bought?"
"Yes'm," answered the butcher with
out so much as a quiver of an eyelid.
"Then you may send me three more
of them," she said. Pittsburg Post

but this remedy is so sure to effect

him, that I give it the preference."

His Air Tight Compartment.
The passenger who was crossing the
Atlantic for the first time timidly ap
proached the pompous purser.
"Is It true, sir." he said, "that this
whole ship Is divided into air tight
compartments?"
"True as gospel," replied tbo purser
in surprise. .
"Then," remarked the passenger
gloomily. "I guess I'll have to put tip

The Caspian Sea.
The Caspian sea is, as Herodotus
said 2,000 years ago. "a sea by itself,
having no connection with any other."
Every schoolboy knows that now. but
it is remarkable to find Herodotus
saying so, because centuries after bis
time such authorities as Strabo and
Pliny believed that it was connected
with the northern ocean by a long and
narrow gulf. Geography seems to
have bad a setback in tbe Interval
through false information received at
the time of Alexander's conquests.
Herodotus says that the Caspian's
length was fifteen days' voyage with
a .rowboat, its breadth eight days'.
Since the actual figures are 700 miles
and 400, tbis sbowg that a rowboat of
the time did fifty miles a day. London
