D however, We arc thout food comes, I y other Ingenious discoveries from Must be admitted that the e home fs in the setting sun will have abundant reasons for crowlug, were it not for the fact, zoologically certain, that eagles don't crow, The United States’ will thus be at once the greatest food producers in the world, and the in- Ventors of the method of doing without tood altegether. ‘They can say, Wl a will you have? to the rest of creation, ard “the rest of creation can take 13 c) ofce of an ordinary existence on corn and ho ms, or of an existence weak and nervous, in- deed,’ but still cheerful, upon nothing at all For it 1s quite clear that the mit of 40 diys must be more or less an arbitrary one. The sensible way of inquiry Is to put the thing tn a rule-of-three sum. if Dr. Tanner loses 25 pounds in 16 days how long will he last,his total welght being given? We suppose that a margin of a pound or two must be left in order to make a asis Whereon to build the body up agatn at the expiration of the fast. But otherwise the num- ber of pounds’ welght divided by iy will give the apswer, We generally count in England by the stone, and, speaking roughly, each stone gives ten ‘days’ lasting power, or Say nine, for fear of accidents. Hence, the person least skilled in arithmetic can readily calculate his own powers of foediess existence. It ts needless to Say that to the shipwrecked mariner, to the obstinate persons who, tn spite of all the appit- ances of civilization, persist in occasionally being starved In.London, and to the forces of civilized nations when they meddle with uncom- foriable barbarians who live ta deserts, the Tanuerian discovery 1s or will be of the highest importance. The only fear {s that the provokt fate which befell the medieval martyrs before mentioned ard the still more famous mare who Was once in tratni:g for a similar feat, will befall Dr. Tanner. If tt does, perhaps the most appropriate punishinent for the committees ot sictans would be to make them indi- vidually and successively repeat the Tannerlan rxperiment until the last man, who, there be ang ho one to wateh him, might perhaps be iet off. e whose Baroness Coutt (Philadelphia Telezray! The mansion of te baronees Is in Plecadilty, and a visitor gocsipped pleasantly about her in this strain: Her favorite brooch is a came) of Fan, a dog of infinite good qualities, ca‘led some years since to her tinal rest; and her perpetual companions are Bell, a delightrat bull terrier, with a beauty spot ‘on his back, and a per little Dlack-and-tan of perfect race. At lun- cheon time these interesting little beasts are naturally to the fore. On either side of their mistress ts a plate of the daintlest Sevres pate tendre, from which these lucky dogs eat their cutlets of minced chicken. There isa vast wealth of Sevres and Dresden in Stratton street and Piccadilly. Some difficulty has been experienced intinding room for the superb garnitures de cheminee—vases and tea services which crop up in every corner, in superb cabinets, in cay- ered cases and in Varlous nooks bebind screens —ior the quantity is far beyond the require- ments ofa dozen households. Besides superb specimens of rose pompadour, vert pomme and gros Dieu, including a magnificent dinner ser- less turquoise, Tich in the maguifi- 'y gilding of Sevres, there 1s abundance of that delightful porcelaine which might be called half dress Sevres, with the charming, cool, chintz-like patterns, to imitate which a very poor attempt was made at Bristol Orien- tal china, too, 1s not wanting, and vases of ma- lachite and porphyry. More prized, however, than these by their owner Is a Shakespeare cab- inet, containing the celebrated ** Dantell” Shakespeare and another of the early folio editions of his complete plays, as well as the first edition of the “Sonnets” The cabinet tt- self is a gem carved cut of a piece of heart- of-oak which once formed part of the Royal George, given by the Queen to Lady Burdett Coutts, who has received many similiar tokens t shimaas } Of regard from her Majesty—notabiy an en- graved portralt of the “Queen’s dogs.” The Shakespeare cabinet Is fall of relics of Stratford- on-Avon, a handsome goblet once belonging to Kemble, and a variety of boxes and other knick-knacks made from the wood of a famous mulberry tree.
