keen-edged ax in his hand and exclaimed,
“ What are you trying to drown that

Never find fault unless it is perfectly
certain that a fault has been committed.
Do not herald the sacrifices you make
for each other’s tastes, habits and prefer¬
ences.
Let all your mutual accommodations
be spontaneous, whole-souled and free
as air.
A hesitating or glum yielding to the

They who marry fcr physical charac¬

Consult one another in all that comes

Never reflect on a past action which
was done with a good motive and with
the best judgment at the time-.
The beautiful in heart is a million

The Origin of Restaurants.
Tbe use ox restaurants has become so
general all over the world that it will be
interesting to many to hear bow they
originated, and to what they owe their
now familiar name. It appears that the
first of these establishments was started
in 1765, by a man rejoicing in the not
inappropnate name of Boulange. This
date has, however, nothing to do with
the choice of the title by which the new
houses of entertainment were khown.
In order to explain this we must go back end
to the seventeenth century, at the
of which one of the soups, or liquid ali¬
ments, most used by the people was a ”
bouillon known as the “ divine restorer.
It was made up of the remains of fowls
and viands boiled down in an alembic,
with crushed barley, dried roses and the
Damascus currants. As it was only
class of comparatively afford well-to-do luxury, per¬
sons who eoul'jl such a a
vine genius restorer’’wit. was tofjuired bm to the bring reach the all “ the di- '
of
multitude. He was found in a certain
doctor named Guilliard, who proposed
to provide “ an excellent substitute” for
the real nectar by cooking a fat selling fowl in
a tptt.le aromatized water, and the
bouillon as “divine.” At that time the
privilege of cooking and serving raoouta
was reserved for the traiteurs, or licensed
vietualers, and that of providing set
dinners was secured by charter to the
corpoiation of th e rot-isseurs. But the
new sellers of the “restaurant divin”
were free lances, bound by no particu¬
lar rule, and they moreover claimed to
have a more select set of clients than the
common eating-houses.; Consequently
the restaurants, as they came to be
called, soon achieved an extraordinary
reputation, and at length their combine proprie¬ with
tors found it necessary to
their old profession that of traiteurs,
which word was in the process eclipsed
by tl>e more new-fangled term restaura¬
teur.
