„ HOW WE HAVER OUR DINNER. *j

It was really too toad, and the more i
I think it over the more ashamed >1 j
feel for my share In the unblushing 1
transaction.
I lie way It happened was this; Yoti i
see, Oiek Henson and I were nnsllcal
students. W« were, moreover, the
closest of chums, and we lodged to
gether In the same room.
One evening at alsmt II o'clock we
stood In a corner irt our apartment
Kiel surveyed with undisguised satis
taetlon the scene before us. A large
(lured mj ,'ltuin and wt All sal down
Dick was a moat artistic liar, and T ,
was something In that l*nc myself, but j
I must my that It Mixed the full e* |
tent of our powers to maintain a calm
demeanor as wo proceeded to convince
our Innocent victims that the feast !*•
fora them was prepared for their es
pecial benefit and that the prepa ration
thereof bad been a labor of true de :
light. *
Of Hen son'a plan of campaign I Itan
not the faintest Idea. The only thing
that suggested Itself to me was delay,
for It was plain that the longer the
ineal was postponed the leas the dam
age done when the time rame for their
<lepa rture.
Hut the poor rrrattite* looked #o
thirsty after their travels that I really
felt pity for them. A glass or two of
wine from the decanter would not be
missed, anyway. "My dear aunt," I
ventured without looking at Dick,^“let
me give you a glass of claret. Trav
eling Is such dry work that you'ieally
must be famlshisl."
They said nothing, but there was a
look of pleasant sgpeetaney In I heir
oyca which read assent. The decanter
stood on a side tattle, and beside It
was a confused mass of tail lies of all
shape* nod slues containing pickled
Hr,aids, frogs and such things. There ,
waa also a collection of bones and
other medical appurtenance*.
As I stepped up In this table Dick
remarked, “lie careful, Arthur, not to
confound ils> claret with that red stuff
I brought home this afternoon. You
know HnrdirfgV dog died of liydro
pliolda last tdghi and I got a Isdile of
hla blood to analyse."
Then mining up to where 1 stissl,
ostensibly to help me to distinguish
one from the other, he whispered:
"Horry, old man, It wouldn't hurt. I
know, but we must begin at the Is*
ginning, or else we shall have a frag
meutal turkey on our hands."
Here's n Prrllr M*ul Head Thai I"
table occupied the center or tuu room,
anil upon It waa (lie prettied *et out
wo bad looked upon for many a day.
'I nere waa, In tire first place, a mag
nificent cold roast tutkey flanked with
glaasca of colory and the like; there
were dishes of luscious fruit, several
Juicy poach pies, a couple of delicious
quivering blanc-mangea, and, towering
over all, a grand center piece of beau
tiful flower*. Tbe fact la, we were
giving a little cold spread to a few
friends of ours, whether male, female,
or mixed It is not necessary to tell.
There waa a full hour to apare be
fore our guests would arrive, and.
everything being In readlmaia, we sat
down to rest a while, and to sum up
how much our little iilTnlr would tax
us financially. Fumbling In my Inside
rocket for an envelope to figure upon,
pulled out an unopened letter which
I had hurriedly thrust there the day
before anil entirely forgotten.
•‘flood heavens. Dick!” I exclaimed
as I read It and threw It across to
him. "Here’s a pretty mess! Head
that."
The epistle ran as follows:
My Dear Arthur: My alster and I
will bo |cisslng through Boston late to
morrow afternoon, on our way home.
We shall have an hour or so to spare
In changing trains, and If nothing pre
vents we shall drop In u|>on you at
your room. F.xpect us then shortly
after 6. Your affectionate nuut,
—Helen.
‘‘(Jreat guns, Arthur,” said Dick,
"why the dlckena can’t you read your
correspondence when you receive It?
If you hail we might have arranged
things differently. Where are your es
teemed relatives bound?”
"Home to Beverly."
"And the train leuves?"
“At 7:0S, I believe.”
"Well, the depot Is fifteen minutes’
ride from here, so we shall get rid of
them before our guests arrive, any
way,” said Henson.
"Hang It, mail, 1 know that, but this
spread out. That’s what I’m thinking
jLtiout. You know 1 don’t want our
Pit tie orgy to be kuotvn at home.”
tOgad! I didn’t think of that. Hold,
tie tt! You say you got that letter
yesterday. Then, of course, you ex
lasted them and prepared this little
dinner as a surprise, see?"
“Hut henveiis and earth, what about
our guests? We can’t ask them to alt
down to a turkey that haa undergone
leg sinput*tlun. to mere fragments of
filmic mange, and to peach plea that
have lost ninety degrees of their cir
cumference. *’
“l.ook here, old man.'' -aid Dick,
with exitais-rallng cooluoan, “you’ll

Don't get excited. Yon Just leave the

“I don't care for any wine, thank
you,” said my poor Aunt Helen, al
though really she looked ready to
faint from thirst.
“Not any for me, either, thank yon,"
Maid her slater; “I rarely take wine.”
“Oh, do lake something,"I urged.
"No! Well, sit down to something
more substantial.”
Benson was an excellent story teller,
and (In* next ten minutes lie employed
In relating a number of choice lios
] pltal anecdotes and experiences calcu
! labsl to Increase the effect already
'produced. One yarn, I remember, was
that of a fellow student who was one
day making an Interesting dissection
under the arm of a dead body, lie had
got his face close to the subject, study
ing it with Intense Interest, when sud
denly the corpse's arm relaxed and
rlnsiied the terrllled student In Us fear

“Just Imagine.” Dick went on merci
lessly, "Just Imagine my poor friend

with his faoe pressed close against
that cold and clammy cadaver. But
uow, let us to tire feast."
With a shudder my aunts arose and
! moved toward the table.
My heart misgave me.
If they ooukl stund that last story,
there was surely no hope of saving our
turkey. Dick’s keener eye bhw that
they ware weakening, however, and so
he prepared to pile on the agony. Wo
had hardly taken our seats when In*
Iteguu again:
• "By the way, Arthur, were you In

Lest our stock of unappetisi ng stone,
should run short, or .sir victims should
somehow' compter their qualms. Dick
very calmly arose and removed the
piece de resistance from the table.
Tint so tickled were we at our sue
cess that we presently found ourselves
ofT our guard. It was time to broach
the pies, and we bad not ready a par
tide of defense.
Doubtless had Benson time to think

the matter up he would have evolved
some tale as destructive of a fruit ap
petite ns of a tlesli one. However, It
didn't muck matter, iis there was a
I si ke simp near by. and we could very
easily replace that |x>rtlou of ottr re
past. Both my limits took n piece of
pie, nnd we two conspirators also, for
appearance Make.
As we ale end chat led Dick dropped
out of the conversation and f1 to
musing. Ii was plain to my mind Hint
he wets figuring out how* to stive those
beautiful lilniie manges. There wasn't
another of their genus within live
miles, mid so they must lie saved at
any cost., l'or my part I hadn't the
ghost of an Idea how It was lo Is
done, but 1 trusted In Dick nnd did
my )>e*t to entertain our guests alone
so' ns to give Id in full opimrtunlty for
thought.
At. last their pie was finished mid
the fateful moment arrived. Glnudug
at Dick I observed with Joy Hiflt n
gleam of satisfaction held possiotslou
of Ills optic.
I roll mat we were saved.
“Ob, 1 any, Arthur." said he. “did
you hapiM'ii to read 11t article In the
Medical Journal about a new and ap
proved stiffening for Jellies and such
dainties. You know Isinglass nnd those
things commonly In use often Impart
a strong flavor, and so while trying to
remedy this defect, a hospital doctor
hit tijKin <|tilte a lucky Wien."
“And what did he use?" I asked,
wondering what was (sowing next.
"Nalls!" replied Dick, loeonlcally.
"Nalls!'' echoed tsdli my aunts In
chorus, "what, hard Iron nails'/”
"oh. no,” said he, with a polite
smile; "you misunderstand me: 1 mean
linger nalla.”
I really thought my aunts would
have fainted on the s|sd, and I myself
could not help giving an Involuntary
start..
"Disgusting!” murmured Aunt Helen
In nil almost Inaudible voice.
"Well, yee," replied Dick, nothing
abashed, "Unger palls are rather dirty
perhaps, hut I should think they
would make a very superior stiffening,
and If you ask any one who bites hla
nalla ho will tell you they have no
taste of their own; so you see they
liave a decided pull over Isinglass.
Everybody knows of course that they
contain a large amount of gelatine,
fii'Mr like n horse's hoof, von know.
which thoy make glue of."
(ireal PacH.tr! I thought 1 would
drop from my chair, and as for our un
fortunate victims. They looked ns If
they were going to lie sick.
An awkward silence now followed.
Presently my aunts remembered that
they ought to do a little shopping be
fore train time, and so off they went
mentally resolving, Pll be bound, that
If they ever dined with medical stu
dents again, they would be careful to
wear blinders and plug their ears
tightly with cotton wool.
Of course our little dinner proved a
great success, for Dick's Inimitable re
lation of the story (It was really too
good to keep) put everybody In the
lest of spirits, and the merriment did
not ling HU the "wee sma’ hours nnent

Fish Storms.
In early times records of the occur
rence of showers of tlsh. corn, etc.,
were regarded ns alarming portents.
Then came the time when they were
regarded as fictitious—like the Af
Ican lakes, Albert ami Victoria Nyan
r,n. which were erased from the limps
for nearly 100 years to tie restored In
the present century. So with the
fishes. We know that the records
of their falling are true, and we know
where they come from. A whirlwind

earthquake of 1891, has already been
alluded to. Many exjierta having ex

method of preserving this marvel of
Greek art, the subject la yet under
discussion. Krnest Killer state* that
the earthquake did the Parthenon lit
tle, If any, harm. The worat accident
to It happened when the Moroslnl laid
siege to the Acropolis In UW7. Killer
pro|sises using a particular cement,
and holding together the cracked
stones, lie wants “no modern patch
work." Killer represented a minority
report The majority report, headed
by Prof. Doarofeld and Theophllus,
devoted their attention to the archi
trave ami other Injured portion* of the
Parthenon. They want to remove the
broken block of the architrave, to use
Iron bars to support other parts, and
to Introduce new stone, hut this new
stone to ho made out of old material,
so that no patching can 1>«* visible.
Nothing having I men decided upon, a
I third ex|K*rt, Prof. Julltia Ditrrn, lias
been called on. He deems ihe archi
trave to lie hopelessly mined, and
i thinks It ought to be entirely restored.

stands. The last expert Is M Mange.

would be the removal of unsound
parts, on account of the old way tlw*
Greeks had of mortising their stones,
