The Word °PI<»nlc.M
Few people know tlie original mean
ing of the word "plenic.” It Is to be
found set out In the London Times of
u hundred years ago. "A picnic sup
per consists of a variety of dishes. The
subscribers Io tliis entertainment have
a liill of fare presented to them, with
a number against each dish. The lot
which he draws obliges him to furnish
the dish marked against it. which be
either takes with liim in liis carriage
or sends by a servant. The proper
variety Is preserved by the talents of
tlie maitre d’hotel, wlici forms the bill
of fare. As tlie cookery Is furnished by
so many people of fnsliloii each strives
to excel, and thus a picnic supper nut
only gives rise to much pleasant mirth,
hut generally can boast of the refine
ment of the art.”
Where He Koile.
A schoolboy who was going to a par

walk home if it rained and was given
money for cab bin*. It rained heavi

when his son, in spite of the Instruc
tions lie had received, arrived home
drenched to the skin.
“Did you not take a cab as 1 or

st ernly.
“Ith, yes; but when I ride with you
you always make me ride Inside. This

A Wonderful Echo.
At a watering place in the Pyrenees
the conversation at table turned upon
a wonderful echo to be heard some dis
tanee off on tlie Franco Spanish fron
tier.
"It is astonlshiug,” said an Inhabit
