"flenoa Is the America of Italy, and

take Sicily, for Instance, the other ex

rounded hy some of the most hcnutlful
scenery, and the climate Is Himply per
fect. The heal of summer Is always

In February. The Concha d’Oro shell

may possibly use one carriage between

"Now let us suppose a man and Ills

SOME PECULIAR PIES.
A Dwsrf Uni Served 1 p In One l-’or

i (ne of lli" most curious pics ever pre
par-I was that which the I (tike of
Pin I Ingham placed before Charles 1.
nml Ids queen when they visited him
ut Ihtrlelgli ou tlie Hill. On that oeca
sion .IcITcry Hudson, the dwarf, who
was so enraged by a gentleman whom
be Ii "I challenged to a duel appearing
on tin* Held armed with n syringe, win
served up lu a cold pic.
Pics were always a strong piint of
mayoralty banquets, and the recipe of
a oily of London pie Inis been handed
don n to posterity from the sixteenth
cell ur.v The recipe runs ns follows:
"Take eight marrow b me*, eighteen
Mp Trows, a pound potatoes, one quar
ter pound eringnes, two ounces lettuce
stalks, forty chestnuts, one half pound
dales, a peck of oysters, om'-qmirtcr
poillld preserved citron, three arti
chokes, twelve eggs, two sliced lemons,
ii handful of pickled burberries, one
quarter ounce whole pepper, one half
ounce Hllcisl nutmeg, Olie-hlllf ounce
whole cinnamon, one-quarter ounce
whole clove, om> half ounce mace and
one-quarter pound currants. Liquor,
when Ii is I hi k« h 1, with white wine, hut-
tor and sugar."
It looks very much as If the cuts
lognc of Ingredients of this wonderful
pie had only been concluded through
the inventor forgetting any other am
cles of diet that he could put lu.
Itleli as the last mentioned pie
sounds, II was not so rich as the slm
{lie liran pie Hull an eccentric old gen
tlomiin pin I before Ills tenants at the
minimi luncheon lie gave them, for, la*
sides the homely bran, golden coins of
the realm were included In the coticoc-
tLhi. which made it peculiarly savory.
Lab* In the eighteenth century the
Newcastle I'hronlele had the following
Item of news:
"Monday last was brought from llo-
wlek to Herwlek to lie shipped for Lon

the contents whereof are as follows,
viz: Two bushels of flour, 20 pounds

MAUNDY THURSDAY.
Hnnlnt Castnin That Went With This
D«r In Olil knslnii'l.
Maundy Thursday used to be also
called Sbere Thursday, “for that," says
an old homily, "in old fathers' days the
people w mill that day shere their hedex
and elypp tlieyr hordes and pool their
heedes and so make them honest
against Ku .ter day." The derivation
of the word "Maundy" is less simple.
Some derive it from the Latin “man-
datum," a command, referring to the
sacred command given on that day to
wash the feet of the p mr, which was
done annually hy our kings and queens
until the practice came to an eml with
James II., or it may come from the old
French “tmiumller,” to heg, as this has
always been tin* poor people’s Thurs
day. Most probable of all is the do
rlvatlon of tin* word from the tnautuls,
or baskets. Anglo-Saxon "maud," in
which things were given to tin* poor
on Maundy Thursday.
On Maundy Thursday, says an old
writer, "die kynges and queues of Eng
land waslie the feetc of so many poorc
menne and women as they be yeres
olile, and gev* to every one of them so
many pence, with a gow tie and another
ordinary alines of nieate mid kys.se
tlieyr feetc, and afterward gave tlieyr
gnwiic* oil tlieyr Imeks to them that
they se m »sl needy of al the nomber."
Some Idea of Ihe contents of the
maiinds nr baskets may lie gathered
from ii ii account of 1731, when forty-
elgld poor men and women, that being
tin* king's age. received "one large old
ling and one large dried eml, twelve
red herrings and four half quartern
loaves, after which was distributed to
them shoes, stockings. Illicit and woolen
cloth mid four penny pieces of silver
and shillings, to each about lit In
value."
Maundy money, as specially issued,
Hint consisting of groats, threepences,
half groats and pennies in silver, was
llrst coined hy Charles II. ami has
formed part of the sovereign’s Maundy
hIiiis ever since. As most people prob
ably know, by tin* coinage act of 1870
Maundy money is legal tender, though
usually regarded only as treasure for
collectors. The sliver penny, which has
now lost Its significance, made its first
appearance under offa In 7tl<>, and,
roughly speaking, remained the chief
denomination for don years, though it
now appears only once a year. The
Maundy penny should remind us that
In Its original and silver form the pen
ny weighs exactly twenty-four grains
and gave its name for this reason to
the pennyweight. -London Chronicle.

The formation of oaves In n lava

which tlto explorer will be interested
to renll/.e ns Ills Investigations pro
ceed, and in the Azores It lias some re
markable and perfect illustrations. It
will be understood that the stream of

from the volcano soon begins to cool

great stream, say thirty or forty feet
thick, a long time passes before It be

still remains liquid lu its interior,
forming as it were a huge conduit or
tube full of the white hot matter. As
this accumulates by the continued sup
ply from above the vast pressure of
the liquid oil the lower end of the
stream Increases. The effect may be
easily Imagined. The Nolld crust at the
front of tin* flow breaks out, tin* melt
ed Interior rushes oil again, and the
great tube is emptied of its contents so
far as they remain liquid, leaving be
hind a hollow cavern which may nml

terri^ited length of several miles. In
the course of centuries subsequent
eruptions may deposit new beds of
cinder or ash or new streams of lava
to any extent above it, but the cave so
formed may remain Intact.
The Broken t.'uvrnsnl.
One old fashioned divine of my early
youth preached every Sunday upon
"The Broken Covenant." At length the
long suffering parishioners could stand
it no longer, and a deputation wits or
ganized to visit the manse. The depu
tation Informed the minister that they
were extremely weary of hearing con
tinually of "the broken covenant" and
that there was a general desire to have
at least one new sermon. "Yon shall
have It,” said the worthy minister In
conciliatory strain; "you sliail have ti
perfectly new sermon next Sunday.”
Accordingly the church was fuller than
usual, and a thrill of satisfaction rnu
round when the text wits announced
In these words: "And the cup was
found In Benjamin's sack." "Let me
tell you, illy friends.” said the preach
er, "the day Is coming when all your
sacks will lie rypit. And what, think
you, will be found In them? Yes, what
will In* found lu them? Again 1 ask
you, what will be found In them? The
llrst thing found In them will be ‘the
broken covenant,’ on which I will now
proceed to speak at great length."
Thus was hope dashed to the ground,
mid the congregation fell back Into the
estate of utter misery In which they
had listened to that dismal orator on
many past days.—London Standard.

When n Meteor Falla.
\Ve owe our Immunity to our atmos
phere, which senes ns a bullet proof
cuirass for the world. When a meteor
enters the atmosphere the friction pro
duced by Its gigantic speed makes It
flash up like the arrow of Acestes, only
more so. The beat thus produced. Just
as a brake showers sparks from a car
riage wheel or a luclfer match lights'
on tin* box. is sufficient to consume the
meteor as If it were suddenly cast Into
a furnace benteil to three or four mil
lion degrees. Obviously the smaller
meteors are utterly consumed before
they have penetrated far Into the at
mosphere, which their fate lias shown
to rise to a height of about 120 miles.
Only a very large one can descend to
within twenty miles of the earth be
fore being burst by the expansion due
to beat and by the resistance of the
sir. The fact that fragments do occa
sionally reach the earth is the ln*st
proof of the great size of some of the
meteors that we encounter. If it were
not for the "blessed air" the explosion
of them all. with the accompanying
fervent lient, would take place in our
midst. It is safe to say that such n
state of things would render our great i
towns uninhabitable.
The Story Thnt Ainusnl Kmersnn.
Ifalpli Waldo Ktuerson was once
greatly amused with the following an
ecdote: A lady, deeply veiled and dress
ed In mourning, was riding in a stage
coach in Yermont, opposite to whom
sat n small, sharp featured, black eyed
woman, who began catechising Iter
thus: "Have you lost friends?” "Yes, I
have.” “Was they near friends?"
"Yes, they was." "How near?” "A
husband and a brother.” "Where did
they die?" "Down to Mobile." "What
dkl they die with?" “Yellow fever.”
"Was they long sick?" "Not very.”
“Did you get their cbists?" “Yes! I
did." "Was they hopefully pious?”
“I hope and trust they was.” “Well, If
you got tlieir cliists and they wns hope
fully pious, you have great reason to
he thankful.”
The stress laid on tin* “cliists" anil
the placing of tlieir rescue before the
piety of the lost husband and brother
as reasons for thankfulness struck
Kmerson as exceedingly characteristic
of a certain class of Yankees and In-
tluitely mirth provoking.

A Tale From Turkey.
Here is an odd yarn from the London
11mes of March 31. 1806, about a man
living in Constantinople known by the
name of "Solyumn, the eater of cor
rosive sublimate." “He U now 106
years old. In his youth he accustomed
himself, like all tl'e Turks, to take
opium, but after increasing the dose
to a great extent without the wished
effect lie adopted the use of sublimate
and had taken dally for upward of
thirty years a drain, or sixty grains.
He some time since went Into the shop
of a Turkish Jew. to whom he was
unknown, and asked for a dram of
sublimate, which lie diluted in a glass
of water and swallowed in an instant.
The apothecary became greatly alarm
ed lest he should he accused of poison
ing the Turk, hut Ills astonishment may
lx* conceived when the next day the
Turk came again and asked for a simi
lar dose.”
