' The is described by » writer ra'Tfitfe “Daily Mail,” who this pictures the domestic life of the i'verage Eflglishman:—“He rises in tbs? morning from his New Engrikuu’ xMding bed, shaves with Am-”'' soap and a Yankee safety razor, pulls uu his Boston boots oyer his socks from North Carolina; fastens on his Connecticut braces , slips his Waltham or Water bury watch in • his pocket and sits down to breakfast. Thoro he congratulates hia wife on the set of her Massachusetts blouse, and fas tackles hia breakfast, where he eats bread made from prairie flour, tinned oysters f-om the Pacific Coast, and a slice of Kansas city bacon, while his wife plays with a slioe of Chicago ox tongue. The children are given American oats. At the same time he read* his morning paper ffinted by American machines, and possibly bn American ,paper. He rushes our, oatobaa the electric train (New York) tp Shepbard’a Bush, where he gets into a Yankee elevator to taka him on to the American fitted electric railway to the city. At lunch time he hastily swallows some cdld ; roast beef that cornea from, a cow in lowa, and flavors it with the latest New England pickles, aud then soothes his mind with a couple of Virginia cirgarottcs.'' To follbw his course all day round would be wearisome. But when evening comes he seeks relaxation at the latest American musical comedy, and finishes up with a couple of “little liver pills” mule in America.’’
