of a bill more tban 200 feet high at
Camp Meeker,^ snmmer resort in So

PEPYS' LITTLE FEAST.
At Whlofc th? Diarist Farad B.ttar
Than H ? Did on Washday.
Mr. Samuel Fepys. of the fumoua
"Diary," bad rather more than hla
?hare of boman weuknesses and frall
tlea, but had be been a better man It
fa certata that hla "Diary" would have
been a duller book.
It la. for example, an undoubted fact
that 1IK Pepys wag something of a
gormand ? waa rather fonder of the
table and ef the delights thereof than
a really wise man ought to have been.
It la to thla trait In hla character and
to bit curlotA habit of jotting down
rough notas of what be bad had for
dinner that wa owe a thousand little
detafla regarding the table of well to
d!f Cflgltihmen In the reign of hla
maJeatTJUbf Charles II., of hilarious
What win be tboogbt of the follow
ing for a nice, dainty little meal? It
la the mamu of a little "feast" aa be
ealis k, w'M?h the diarist gave every
year |n sommetnoration of hla being
operated ea successfully for a danger
ous dtsaaa*. He prondly chronicles
that U>? disbes on ttUfi occasion Includ
ed1^ fricassee of rabbits and chickens,
a leg of mutton boiled, three carps In
a dish, a great dish of a aide of lamb,
a dish of roasted pigeons, a dish of
foar lobsters, thr?e tarts, a lamprey
pie"? ? moat rare f>le? "a dish of an
chovies and good wine qt several tofts.
And all things mighty and nt>13e and
to my great content," he lidds com
placently.
The jfflbAcr of guestaUt tM* ?*??
sjsa la hot Irtffen. bt? kt UtttfcM time,
wttjl sit guests,, he has v%ltfcr oyster*
a hash of ra/f5It* arid W&b and 4 rare
chlhe of beef; Aeifc V great dlah 'of
roasted fowl? c<wA, me about 30 shil
lings? cuid 'k 'fWt, and then frnlt and
cheese."
About 'ft o'clock at night he /kenta
his gO^fets away "fi'fter a 'good sack
po?s?t and. cold meat." The whole
win cost, him, he observes, about ?5?
ifay fSMVof present day English money.
These are what the diarist calla
"feasts." On ordinary occasions the
fare is, of course, much more ?'modest
?for Instance:
"Dined at home -with my wife. It
being washing day, we had ? good pie
baked -of a leg of mutton."
No doubt the poor man was thankful
enough to get that, for one gathers
from the "Diary" that be generally
bad cold meat on washing days. In
tfeoae days, look yon, -washing day was
??washing day. Mrs. Pepys and her
?"people"? two or three maids and
a cook maid ? did It Themselves? no
?washerwomen, and the good lady and
ber helpers were generally up at 1
?o'ckudk In the morning In summer.
Men Who Waflked on All Fours.
Is the kingdom of Poland there was
formerly a law according to -which any
.person found guilty of slander was
?compelled to walk on all fours through
?the streets of the town where he lived
aocompanled by the beadle, as a sign
(hat he was disgraced and unworthy
of the name of man. A't the next pub
! lie festival the delinquent was forced
to appear crawling upon bands and
knees underneath the banqueting ta
ble and barking like a dog. Ev^ry
guest wAs at liberty to give him as
many kicks as be cboee, and he who
bad been slandered most toward the
end of the banquet throw a picked
bene at the calprlt, wbo. picking tt up
with Ms moodb, wwiM leave tbe room
on all fOlM'B.

the haadfee Into the toe ef the shoe;
the? spread apart the- blades. That

round handle ef the shears at the pot&t

thi< shoe equally from toe to instep
turn the oval handle toward the skle to
be stretched. Tbe stretching Is made
easier If the *hoe Is first moistened

The Snipe's Bill.
The Mil of tbe snipe is provided with
; a nervr running down to the tip and
. then distributing Itself over the end
of the l?eak. This is tbe only lustance
, of this kiud among birds and Is a
singular <*aae of the care of natnre la
providing for her creatures. The snipe
seeks for his prey In mud and water,
where he cannot see, and It Is believed
that the nerve advises him of the pres
ence of food jprhen bis <?yes give him
no information.
