REFLECTING ON ROAST CHICKEN. ‘The charge of $3 made at the new St. Regis Hotel ef & “portion” of roast chicken will prompt reflections a the variability of food values, particularly aa regards be difference between the prices of the raw material pa the manufactured product as ordered from an en- wrayed menu card and served to the accompaniment of <e/ Most glittering generalities do, by the! way, for one of the most frequent sources of matrimonial misery ie un- doubtedly the lack of money, Tt Je not riches, but the Mleness that Teaults from them, thet leads to pinese—women are more or less ia! to idleness, ‘The sudden acquisition money does not affect them as astrously as it does men, because they are more used to Killing time end can do it harmlessly, But let @ man come into money and quit work, and immediately the di- yorce court yawns for him, the jaws of scandal open to swallow him, ‘The much vaunted superiority of the Amertoan husband te due largely to the fact that whatever hig wealth he has poor. Ewmtreme poverty ie apt to try the most fervid love very severely, to induce quarrels and mutual reorimina- tions between husband and wife every time the rent falls due or the buteher and baker present their billie, One would think thet the possession of great wealth, on the contrary, by relieving married people of all gnxiety as to material things, would increase their chances of harmonious living, and yet it does nothing of the kind, for many of the weakhtest men and women in New York are notoriously indifferent to the partners of their joys and sorrows and make no attempt to disguise their feal- ings, Poverty may keep some married couples together, for the simple rea- fon that divorce may be among the many luxuries that their lack of funds prevents them from acquiring, They may even be too poor to separate, But it Is probably the couples who worry along on from $1,200 to $3,000 @ year that stand the best chance of happiness. Budden, unexpected poverty is esne- cially fatal to love. For one woman who would don an apron and say: “Never mind, ‘Chick;’ you get a job and I'll cook,” when misfortune over- took her husband, there are ten who would weep into # doses handkerchiefs to the tune of “Oh, why did you take me away from mamma te bring me to this?” It really eeems as though great pov- erty were often fatal to woman's love and great wealth to man’s. But, of @| it. If a show is what the people want they will produee the frog skins to see it, no matter if the critics throw {t down and treat it with the utmost brutality, “There is a lot of punk on the theatrical bill of fare ; this season, and the reason it 1s served is because the people have an appetite for punk, The only way a man- ager has to-day of sizing up the taste of the public is to Z,|% | keep cases on the hits.

Paternoster Row, Amen corner Ave Maria lane have all kept their names since Roman Cathollo times, hundreds of years ago, when the processions used to pass along chanting orisons. The principal street in Edinburgh is the famous Cowgate, Twenty-eight Years in the Cradle, There has just died in Stockerau, Bavaria, at the age of twenty-eight years, a dwarf, Maria Schumann, who passed her whole life in the cradle where she slept her first sleep twenty-eight years ago, Up to the day of her death this strange creature preserved the height and general ‘appear- ance of an infant of @ fers months, but her intellect was normally developed, and nothing could have been odder than to hear this tiny baby in the cradle talk like an adult, with much vivacity and intelligence!
