Now, these word* have caused not a little trouble to the critics, and for this reason, that they know not what palfrey really is. It has been suggested that palfrey is a clerical error made by the doctor him self for past ry. But the doctor wrote so legibly, and there is so much difference between the words palfrey and pastry that this position is not at all tenable. Palfrey is defined in Johnson’s cele brated dictionary as “a small horse fit for ladies,’’ and some have thought that the doctor (whose feats as a trencher man were notorious) may have broken •i record on the day in question and dis posed of a small horse. All these and other conjectures are wrong, and we will proceed to give the correct expla nation. The word palfrey (sometimes pam- frey by the interchange of I and m) is still in use among the rustics of Scot land and the north of Ireland, and means young cabbages when they firs! coine to table in the spring. Such cab bages have not begun to “close,” or be come solid in the center. They are gen erally spoken of as “early pamfrey” and are considered a luxury. Dr. Johnson probably picked up the w’ord from his old friend Boswell or from some other Scotch acquaintance. SPECIAL OFFER. FOR A FEW WEEKS ONLY. THE BEST HOME THE THE GRANDEES OF SPAIN. They Cannot Stand Brina Aceaaed of Bnobbiahnean and Have Other Pecullaritlea. A writer for Blackwood’s Magazine is interested in the curious habits of the grandees of Spain. According to this magazine, the Spanish nobility at the capital cannot be accused of being snobs, masters and servants living to gether in a state of familiarity that the writer finds amazing. lie says: “One day at dinner my host.

The marquis, looking about to find his friend, dis covered Manuel, his valet, on the plat form smiling and making signs to him that he had paid the master’s fare. Later the writer was crossing the At lantic on a Spanish steamer with a duke and his valet de chambre. They lx>th traveled first-class, ate at the same table and offered each other cigars. Their staterooms were alike in every particular. Continuing, the ar ticle »ays that there is nothing Span iards hold in such horror as reading especially the women.

Roosevelt Wan One of the Grate ful Recipiente of the Sorry Sustenance. One rainy night in Culm four rough riders had gathered under a tree *oi shelter. They had had nothing to eat all day and were sympathizing with one another over their ill-fortune, says the New York Commercial Advertiser “It*» tough luck.” said one, “but we I, just have to grin and bear it. I an alwut starved all the same." A trooper from one of the western companies happened to be passing the tree, and he heard the last remark Going up to the speaker he slapped him on the back nnd, opening his blouse pulled out some hardtacks. ‘‘Sorry yer in wich tough luck, pa rd.* he said. “I ran in a wtreak of luck to day and got ten hardtack*. Here, you take half of ’em.** “Thanks, old man.” was the grateful rejoinder. “1*11 only take four. I guess that will do!” A» the westerner walked off the other rough rider turned around and gave each of his companions a hardtack. The next morning the western man was surprised to receive a visit fron Col. Roosevelt, nnd still more surprise« when the colonel thanked him for the hardtack he had given him the night before.
