Posted with permission of the transcriber, Ann Selchick. Geo. THE CARLISLE PATRIOT, APRIL 23, 1880. SHORT NEWS ARTICLES I. _______ HOW THIEVES ARE MADE. How thieves are made was shown on Wednesday at Salford Police Court, when a child ten years old made his third appearance on charges of felony. His first offence was committed when but eight years of age, and he follows the career of two elder brothers, both of whom have been sent to industrial schools. The parents of these three young criminals had no other sons, or it may be that further expense would be entailed upon the ratepayers in the reformation of these victims of parental neglect. _____ VEGETARIANISM. Vegetarianism (says a London correspondent) is making strides. It has already a restaurant in Farringdon Street, London, devoted to it. The proprietor claims for his preparations that they are the most nutritious of all goods; they are certainly cheap. A soup costs three pence, a plat four pence, and a pudding three pence. Haricots and lentils are prominent constituents of the dishes. People who are not very hungry may perhaps enjoy a "bread steak and brown sauce" instead of ordinary steak; green peas and mint sauce in these days of fluked sheep is a very good substitute for lamb; a "savory pie" may be resorted to by people accustomed to steak and kidney in their intimate household dinners. But "vegetable pie" looks rather meager, and so does "minced parsnips." Aristocratic dishes are given under the name of Pilaff and Spagette. _______________ In one of the suburbs a family was seated at dinner when the door bell rang, Bridget was sent to the door. It was noticed that she held a long parley, and it was surmised, consequently, that there was some element of uncertainty in the interview. On the return of the servant, the master of the house said, "Well Bridget, who was it?" To which Bridget replied, with all the unsuspecting sincerity of her race, "It was a gentleman, sir, looking for the wrong house." _________________
