“THE ROAST BEEF
OF OLD ENGLAND"
Nothing Dims John BulVs
Loyalty to National Dish.
I can never understand people well
until I see them eating. “Tell me
what you eat and I’ll tell you what
you are." If you eat roasted meats
and well-cooked vegetables, you are
an Englishman; if you eat well-sea
soned dishes, with a liberal use of
sauces, you are French; if you don’t
eat, you are Spanish.
T would take these Englishmen, so
strong and high-colored, and I would
put them in a Madrid boardlng-liouse;
at the end of two weeks they would
be so weak that 1 could maul them
without any difficulty, declares a
writer in the Chicago Evening Post.
An English military authority once
said: “Where the Spanish soldier
would consider himself well-fed. the
French soldier would be on half ra
tions. and the English soldier would
starve to death.” The English are
prodigious eaters, hut ns they are not
epicurean they are slim, strong and
healthy, and not fat and heavy like
the French.
I have seen an advertisement of thp
Muller cooking-pans; this advertise
ment is divided into seven parts, cor
responding to tlie seven days of the
week. Monday shows a platter with
an enormous piece of roast beef; be
low appears the same roast, a little
smaller; it Is Tuesday’s fare. P>y
Wednesday the roast has diminished
in a mathematical proportion. Thurs
day roast heef. Friday roast beef. By
i Saturday the roast has assumed mi
croscopic proportions.
| “But,” you will say, “surely they eat
something else in London besides
i roast beef.”
Yes; in addition to roast beef they
I eat more roast beef. These English
! divide the same portion of roast heef
; in two pieces so that foreigners may
| not say that here one eats only one
! thing.
The variety of the roast heef eon
I sists in the vegetables; boiled potn
* toes and cabbage, all without salt.
I ... If one could at least have some
j variety in the cooking of the potatoes!
I But no; Monday’s potatoes are like
| those of Sunday, Sunday’s like those
I of Saturday, and so on unto eternity,
i Do you suppose that the English
I would camouflage a* potato? Never!
: What would become of the proverbial
English honesty? No, a potato most
| always look and taste exactly like a
, potato. England, Indies and gontle
i men. Is a serious country.
In the slang of I’aris. the English
j are called roast beef. "Vola Am roast
I beef,” the French say of an English
j man.
i The fact is that by dint of eating
roast heef through generations, the
English of today look a good deal like
enormous pieces of roast beef. They
have the same color, the same health,
the same sensitiveness as ron«t beef.
An Englishman eating a piece of roast
heef makes me think of a cannibal
devouring a fellow man.
Greek Pramatist’s Frocf
Chorus a Poor Second
T have contributed so much animal
lore to these pages that I am thinking
of setting up as a naturalist. William
Ivon Phelps writes in Scribner's
Magazine. I suppose all animals are
personalities to those who know and
understand them. When I was a child
in Hartford it was a pleasure to enter
the beaut if ul garden of that hospitable
gentleman, Pliny Jewell, There was
a little lake, and in winter he distrib
uted to the hoys of the neighborhood
free skating tickets, which we highly
appreciated. in summer evenings the
old gentleman would sit in a chair on
the edge of this pond and ring a bell.
At the mellow tones of this instru
ment the frogs would come out of the
lake and group themselves about Mr.
Jewell, who offered them hits of food,
which they received courteously. 1
had never discriminated particularly
among frogs; hut to this man every
one of those frogs was an individual,
and he had named them all. The
largest was call; d Laura Matilda, and
was the owner’s favorite. I have seen
Laura draw near her master's chair
fake a hit of bread delicately from
his fingers, eat it. and then wipe her
mouth daintily, like the I’rioresse in
Chaucer.
Aristophanes’ frog chorus could
never perform like that The Greek
dramatist missed a trick.
Still the Winner
The other night a young man was
visiting his host girl, anti he stayed on
and on until she became very sleepy
Indeed. Ah-■■ she hnd to work the next
day and thought it time to give him
a him tl at it ws time for him to go
home. Finally she said:
"Don't - on think you hud better tele
phone for a taxi to go home in? It's
so late no" and there have be n sev
eral robberies out in this part of town
after midnight."
The 1111111' man was visibly pleased
at her suggestion.
“Oh. yes I'll do that,” he returned
“I’m not afraid, but the taxi will take
me home so much faster ttian 1 can
walk that I can stay at least an hour
longer.”—Indianapolis News.

CROP OF ADVISERS
NEVER FALLS SHORT
_I
Production Always More <
Than Equal to Demand.
“It may not be any better to give
than to receive advice,” said Mr. Cato
Ninetails, “but it is a good deal pleas
anter. In fact, giving advice is about
tlie most popular indoor and outdoor
sport. Supply and demand have no j
more to do with it than they have
with the price of coal. Practically no- i
body wants advice, but full production |
continues Just the same. Most of it is
not only disinterested, but none of the
adviser's business, so the mere fact
that it is ignored or even openly re
jected does not discourage him in the
least. It is not followed, from neces
sity, because it is so conflicting that
no one could follow all of it without
stultifying, and even nullifying, him
self. That, of course, is of small con
sequence because, for the most part,
advice is merely conversation -like
personal weather predictions—talk for
talk's sake, and probably no one would
he more surprised — and perhaps
shocked—than the adviser if it were
taken seriously. The truth is that
most people don’t want advice. There
are lots of reports about statesmen
and captains of industry always be
ing ready to listen to it, and they may
he, but there are many other things
that they would rather do. Advice
merely wastes their time without al
tering their plans, and puts it strain
on their tolerance without compensa
tion. Speaking generally, the only
kind of advice that most people want
is the kind that costs them money.
This they get at rather high rates
from their lawyers, doctors, special
conns dors and other experts, and the
more they have to pay for It. the more
confidence they seem to have in it—
which may. to some extent, account
for the size of the fees. Naturally,
such advisers want their clients to
he satisfied. Amateur advice-giving
is ns much of a habit ns gum chew
ing, and quite as bad a one. It mis
leads the adviser because he gets the
impression that he is talking wisely,
while his listener merely wishes that
he would mind his own business, it
is also somewhat dangerous because
once in a blue moon—that’s an in
definite period, of course—somebody
will act on some scrap of the advice
that Is so generally broadcast, and
the after effects are nearly always
unpleasant for both the adviser and
the advisee—that’s a little word of
my own, fabricated for the occasion.
So, to play safe, no one should ever
give advice unless he is certain that
it will not be followed. Then what
ever happens can’t be blamed on him.”

Old Settlements in
This “Young Country”
The I’nited States is still character
ized as a “young country.” Yet its
oldest city, St. Augustine, has cele
brated its R59th birthday, a writer in
the Montreal Herald notes. Many
important European centers of popu
lation had not been planned or even
conceived when this little Florida city
was planted among the pines by Don
Pedro Adelentado in 15(55. The kind
of civilization which was then brought
to this continent has very consider
ably influenced th > national American
institutions, especially In several of
the Southern states. •
The next oldest European settle
ment in North America still in exist
ence is Annapolis Royal, formerly
Port Royal. This was the early cap
ital of Nova Scotia at a time when
that colony included not only the
present province by that name, but
New P.runswick, Prince Edward Is
land. Newfoundland and part of the
present province of Quebec anil the
i.abrndor const as far north as i'n
gnva bay. The first wheat was sown
by the hand of a white man in North
America at Port Royal In 1(505, and
I the first wheat mill was constructed
in the same place in 1G0C. It was
probably a tidal mill.
Fate of Indiana River
The Mississinawa river runs through
the counties of Grant and Delaware
in Indiana. Tiie river was reserved
by tiie government as a fishing stream
for tiie Indians on the reservation. As
late as 1S80 the stream was liberally
stocked with fish by the government.
Tl'is was probably the best stocked
stream in Indiana.
Then tiie great natural gas boom
struck that region. Factories and
towns grew like mushrooms. Owing
to tiie pollution of tiie stream from
factory waste and refuse from gas
veils, not a fish remains, says the
Detroit News. The once beautiful Mis
sisslnawa river of the red man is an
open sewer.
His Little Joke
Theodore Hook once went Into a
book shop and told the clerk lie want
ed some lamb, about two pounds.
“Rut this is a book shop,” said the
clerk.
"It must be fresh,” continued the
Joker, pretending to he deaf.
“Rut. sir, this is a book shop, not a
meat shop."
Attracted by the hubbub, the proprie
tor came up and brushed aside the
clerk.
“Now, sir," bawled the proprietor,
"we sell books and nothing but books.
What Is It you want?”
“Lamb,” stated the joker quietly.
