HOUSEHOLD. “pPixser-Tove. What 1s ‘‘dinner- | time”? The hour depends altogether upon where one lives, in this age, and it hea depended everywhere upon the | epoch of the world. In this country, dinner-time with the great majority of | people, those who live upon the farms and in the smaller towns, is between twelve and one o'clock. Their dinner- hour is almost exactly that of princes and noblemen in Shakespeare's time. Many lines in his works prove that all the world dined, at that , in the middle of the day. But in many of the larger towns and cities of this country, and especially in New England, the ordinary dinner hour is rather nearer two o'clock than anv other hour. The regulation hour in Boston is supposed to be two o'clock, though many business men dine a little | earlier, and many others, including the more fashionable, do not dine until six. In New York, Brooklyn, Philadel- phia and other great cities a still larger | proportion of the people do not dine until six or afterward; and in Wash- ington the six o'clock dinner 18 so un versal that a few years ago a public | man who went from the and who wished to retain his custom o in the middle of the day, find but one restaurant in the city, and that at all to his mind, where he could get a dinner at one or two In Europe, the dinner-honr, 1n cities and towns, is always late in day, for though in many E 1) try districts the common their chief me r, the dinne --hour epoch country, Ing one not 8 3 the the 11 in fl dinner] n the evening.

Certes is endeavoring to cultl- vate the sedimentary matter brought up from great depths by the dredgings of the Travailleur and the Talisman, dur. ing the expeditions of 1882-3, in order to prove that the absence of plants or animals in decomposition at the bottem of the ocean is probably due to the presence of microbes analagous to those which, under our eyes, are daily work. ing at the transformation of organic into inorganic matter.
