When he Slate Fixed Hotel Price. Before, during and for a time after the. Revolutionary war tbe courts of , tbe commonwealth used to fix tbe prices of tavern board and liquor, bo when the sojourning stranger from afar" struck Richmond be could pretty nearly know what "bono feed and breakfast" cost, There was also an assize of bread as well as of drink, the price of bread was regulated by . Iho price of wheat' A fourpenny white ' loaf, a twopenny white loaf, a four penny' brick loaf and a fourpenny brown loaf bad each to weigh so much, according as they bad other Ingredi ent mixed with flour. In those days a "Boston biscuit" costing 1 cent bad ' to weigh six ounces and two drama and so on. The connection between a loot of bread and .sixty pounds of wheat at sot much per bushel has grown beyond the grasp of tbe modern mind. However, In the old time In Virginia the custom of regulating the .price, or, rather, the weight, of a loaf of bread by the price of the wheat of "". which It was made was universal. Bo I far as liquor was. concerned, the courts . used to fix not only the price of a sin gle drink, a quart or a gallon of the stuff, but" also "a gorum of punch.". nif.hmnnfl Tttancitph. '' " . .When Friends Are Enemies. i "One of our greatest troubles Is to prevent patients from being killed by kindness,'-' said a trained nurse in one of tbe public hospitals. "On visiting days, when relations or friends are ad mltted, we bave In many cases to exer cise extreme vigilance. The amount of Improper, even dangerous, food which one ablebodled relative can smuggle In, under cover of a satchel or a volumi nous cloak- Is almost incredible. "Only a few weeks ago I captured and carried away from the bed of s convalescent typhoid case a pasteboard box containing two big green pickles and a piece of exceptionally rich cocoa . nut cake. It was tbe boy's mother wbo brought tbe dainties, and presum . ably she did not wish to shorten her son's days in the land. ' "This sort of thing is of frequent oc currence in a hospital. It is strangely , illustrative of bow little the average man or woman understands the deli cate mechanism of the stomach and' stomachic disease." New York Press. The Great Eastern. The Great Eastern was 680 feet' long, 83 feet beam, 28 feet draft when load ed, 23,000 tonnage; paddle engines, 1,000 horsepower nominal; screw en gines, 1,700 horsepower nominal. Bhe .was commenced to be built at Millwall in the spring of 1854 and was launch ed after many difficulties on Jan. 80, 1858. The history of the Great Eastern was from the first financially an un fortunate one. She made several voy ages to the United States at a great loss to her owners, but In 1865 and 1866 . she somewhat redeemed her character by successfully laying the Atlantic ca ble. Subsequently, owing to her vast size, she was Instrumental In laying 'most of the important cables across the Atlantic, In the Mediterranean, through the Red sea, etc. In 1888 she was sold at auction In Liverpool to be broken up, bringing the sum of $280,720. Lon don Globe. The Human Bodr'a Tirele.e Orsana. Man has within him a stationary en gine called his heart, which, with Its .veins and arteries, constitutes a per fect system of hydraulics, compared ,wlth. which man's best work Is clumsy, Intricate and wasteful. The lungs are a working bellows, the most perfect method of sanitary ventilation. The stomach is a working vat of marvelous perfectlou.V The brain is a wondrous condenser, and the skin is a great .working evaporator, with reserve auto matic appliances, ready for extra work In moments of need. "All these are In action at all times, day and night, tire less, unceasing, self winding and re pairing, for seventy years or more. Dramatic Death. What is a dramatic death? Of course the most dramatic death ever recorded .was that of Placut, who dropped dead .while paying-"1 bill. Then there was the death of Fablus, who was choked 'by a hair In some milk; that of Louis iVI., wbo met his doom because a pig ran under bis horse and caused him to stumble; that of Saufelus, wbo was poisoned by the albumen in a soft boil ed egg, and that of Zeuxls, wbo died from laughter at sight of a hag he had painted. - Her Feet Toe. ' "That new saleslady," said the blond at the ribbon counter, "has false hair and teeth." v ."Yes," replied the brunette, who con descended to sell handkerchiefs occa sionally, "and It seems thaf s not the only thing. I heard her complaining that she hadn't had a chance to get off lier feet all day." She Worke at Home. Hicks I understand Mrs. Bias has learned how to keep her husband at ' home. Wicks Nonsense! Bias Is out ,wlth "the boys" nearly every night . Hicks You misunderstand me. I mean the work she does at home keeps him. She's a dressmaker, you know. Phila delphia Ledger. f Unavailing; Parault. "Don't be so sweeping In your Judg ments. There's that prominent man mentioned Just now, who I am sure bas always pursued an uorlKht life." "That may be, but he's never caught up with it."
