_ soon acquire the art of manipulating TABLE ETIQUETTE. I Celery, olives, cheese, radinhcs. etc.‘ are always eaten from the fingers. 1 It is not good form to serve. bread in‘ Whole slices, but cut in two, or even: smaller. Glasses should be filled three fourths full of fresh cold water just, before the serving of the meal. l Open a boiled egg either with the: knife or spoon. The top should be, “Gully taken off at one stroke. l Cakes are eaten from the lingers,! except in the case of sticky layerâ€"1 mikes, when a fork should always be, luupplied. l Bread should never be broken into[ .soup, and the last drop of the latter should never be greedaly taken up with the spoon. In eating peaches, pears, elc., reâ€" .move the skin, cut the fruit up with tho dessertâ€"knife, and convey the pieces to the mouth with the fork. If a, silver knife is not provided for the fish course, and the fish is bony. two forks may be used. The knife. however, should always be supplied. For :1 hiin tea, savory dishes are introduced, such as ham, tongue. (chicken cutlets or croquetles, oyster~ patties, etc., also hot cakes, toast, biscuits, preserves, honey, etc. It is not necessary to wait all have been Served at the. table. One may begin to eat leisurely asi .Soon as served, only observing care not to get through before others. Each mouthful of bread or biscuit .should be. broken off when needed, and a. small piece of butter put on. An entire slice or a. whole biscuit should never be spread at once. If out to dinner, at the end of the meal the napkin should not be fold- until ed. but placed unfolded at the left side of the plate. If visiting, and .a. napkin-ring is given, the napkin should be neatly folded and placed in 'it. ' When a plate is sent up the second time, the knife and fork may either be left upon it, side by side, or they .may be held in the hand. Usage in this little matter varies, but the. former method is the one generally ‘ preferred. In passing loaf-sugar and olives, it is always more elegant to provide .au olive-spoon and sugar-tongs. Some hostesses omit these, but it is almost impossible to help one's self with the lingers without touchingl .morc than one takes, and this is ob- _jectionable. Mustard and salt should be placed upon the side of the plate. Meat and vegetables can either be taken up by the fork and dipped into the condiment, or the point of the knife can be pressed into the salt, must- ard. catsup, etc., and then -’applied to the food on the fork. The same sort of dishes served at .a party supper are suitable for a weddingâ€"breakfast. Salmon or .ster with mayonnaise dressing, co d fowlâ€"roasted and boiledâ€"ham, tonâ€" gue, pigeon pie, pressed beef, chicken .salad or patties, lobster cutlets, oys- ter-patties, jellies, creams, tarts, ' trifles, ices, etc., may be selected from, and. of course, the wedding cake. The knife should never be used in eating lettuce or salad of any kind. With a very little practice one may an entire lettuceâ€"leaf with the fork and wafer alone. The salad is quite as pretty, however, and much more' daintily eaten, if several lettuce- leaves are placed together, and then torn across in strips. A slight, twist, and the prettiest of green roses may be made to line the salad- bowl instead of the plain leaves. WITH CHERRIES.

Stricken With Partial Paralysis He Was Unable to Use Either Right Arm or Right Leg. Mr. John Craig, :1 well known far- mcr living near Kclls, Nipissing dis- trict, ()nt., is another of the many paralytics, who owes his present good health and ability to go about â€"â€"if not life itselfâ€"to the use of ‘Dr. Williams’ l'ink Pills. Mr. Craig,r gives his experience as follows .â€""llut for the blessing of (lod and the use 01 llr. Williams l‘ink Pills I do not beL lieve that I would be ali\e 10â€"day. I Was stricken with that. terrible ailliction, partial pai‘alys‘iS. I bud absolutely no power in my right arm or leg. I was not able to sit upâ€"~m fact. if I tried to do so 1 would fall over. I had to be lifted like a child. and my family and friends believed :death was very near. The doctor atold me, that he could do nothing for me, and that I was liable at any moment to have a sccond stroke Which would carry me oil. I was in this deplorable condition when I was advised to use Dr. Williams’ I‘ink l‘ills. I sent for three boxes and beâ€" fore they were all used I could move. the fingers on my hand. which had hitherto been absolutely numb and powerless. You can scarcely imag- ine my joy at this convincing proof that the pills were helping me. From this on I kept getting stronger and the control of my paralyzed limbs gradually came back until I was again able to walk about and evenâ€" iually to work. To my neighbors my cure seems like. a miracle, as not one of them ever expected in see me out of bed again. I gladly give perâ€" mission to publish the story of my cure with the wish that. it may bring life. and hope and actiVIty to some other sufferer." The cure of Mr. Craig gives addi- tional evidence that Dr. Williams I’inkPills are not an ordinary medi- cine. and that their power to euro in all troubles of the blood or nerves places them beyond all other inc-di- cines.

Unl.._ \vriteszâ€"“Iu‘. my occupation as a nurse I have] come across many cases in which Dr.I Chase's Ointment has been usedi with extraordinary results.

Both of these cures were lasting." Mrs. H. A. Loynes, nurse, Philipsâ€" burg, (2110., writes: "I consider Dr. Chase's Ointment a perfect medicine.

This is a, very delicious fruit to can, is easily prepared and very sel- dom spoils. They should be dead ripe. and this is determined by pullâ€" ing- on the spines at the top of the fruit. 11‘ they come out readin the fruit is in a fit stage. to be eaten. They are usually 90 cents and $1 per down at. this season of the year, and one dozen linc pineapples will fill lifleen pint cans and have suflicicnt syrup. Begin at the large end and pare them all over, not stopping to pick out, the eyes until all :He pared. A sharp pointod knife is best for going over them the second time. When all are ready commence slicing from the outside toward the center. You will find a. sort of pith or woody stem, but the pulp will cleave away from this, for it. has no value whatever. Put the fruit in a preserving kettle with sufficient water to just cover nicely. Cover closely and let boil gently for about half an hour, or unâ€" til it is easily pierced with a fork. Usually one. teacupful of sugar to a pint can is enough, but depends largely upon what degree of sweetâ€" ness the family likes. Let this sim- mer for another half hour, when the fruit will be clear, something like citron preserves. lie sure that the rubbers are new, the tops in good condition, and the cans perfectly clean and sweet, and there will be no trouble, with the keeping. I’ineapples are quite an inexpenâ€" sive fruit for everyday use on the table. Should be prepared in the i'orenoon if desired for supper, cutt- ing it in fanâ€"shaped pieces and sprinâ€" kling with powdered or fruit sugar, then Cover closely and set in the ice.- box. It will make its own juice, and when one is fond of it it is delicious. The only trouble is they am so plentiful and cheap just when straw- berries are in “full blast," and one is undecided which to invest in, so it must ever remain a matter of taste.- Pincapple Shortcake is much liked by many, and in the making the Same method obtains. They aren’t a very bad fruit to eat out of hand, without a grain of sweet, and I often think that we spoil our taste by the too lavish use of sugar, don't you? WASHING LACES. To wash white or cream lace. make a suds of white soap and tepid waâ€" ter, adding a solution of borax in the proportion of a teaspoouful of the powder to a cup of water. It will be necessary to dissolve the borâ€" ax in boiling water. Cool the liquid before using it. Baste the lace on a pieCO of white flannel. To tw0 quarts of suds put the one cupful of borax water. Put the lace in it and leave over night, In the morning remove the flannel with the lace from the water and rinSc in sev- eral waters without squealing it. Tack it. on a board to dry and put it out in the sun. To take the dead white color oil lace, coffee or saffron may be used if a yellow tint is de- sired. The best starch for lace is made by dissolving oneâ€"fourth ounce of gum arabic in a cup of water. Strain the liquid through a cloth. You can wash the newer laces, if they are much soiled by wearing in the necks of dresses, by making a warm pearline suds and washing lightly in your hands. Rinse in warm, clear water and while wet place upon your window paneâ€"or mirror, and leave there until quite dry, then peel oil. and it will look like it had just been bought. .____+.__.â€"_ Ll‘TAllNthl FROM ANALOG Y. “I tell you," contended Smithson, in the smokingâ€"room of his club, “the man who says we ought to live to be a. hundred years old is right. it takes a horse four years to complete its growth, and it lives to be twenty. It takes a man twenty years to complete his growth, and by the same ratio he ought to live to be a hundred. There re lots of things we can learn from analogy.” “I don't know but that you are right,” responded the unemotional friend. “For instance. there is the flea. It jumps thirteen hundred times its oun length. There is no reason, therefore, why a man six feet high should not be able to jump â€"â€"let us sayâ€"seven thousand eight hundred feet, or a mile and a half, at one leap.

This Warning is math ncci‘s'sary on account of recent disclosures in Toâ€" ronto and other cities where these parties are a! work. Though the police authorities made an effort to put a. stop to this fraud some davs ago. it is s!ill going on, and thoughtless persons are being induc- cd, by the offer of a dozen free. photographs, to sign fraudulent statements about medicines almost, if not entirely unknown to them.

Machine Which Provides for Safe- ty of Travellers. American railroad development has reached the point where a. man can. sit comfortably in a. private. car and see recorded on paper before him every imperfection of'the rails over wl‘ich ho is riding, says World's \Vtrk. Twenty yev's‘ ago, a [rark Walker with a llallIllllizl' trumped live cross-tics to find out this same thing. The, track Walker's work and much more is now done by the, dynograph, a mechanism which not only records the deviations the rails make from a straight and level line, but auto- matically computes these deviations in feet and inches. It is the invenâ€" tion of Dr. P. H.V Dudley. The, inâ€" vention is attached to his private car, which has been his home, for fifteen years. The (lynograph tests rails. It is a machine 42 inches high and looks like a. hand printing press. It makes records on the roll of paper attached to the machine, made through power gained from the rolling of the wheels of the car over the track. The paper is unrolled by a shaft attached to the axle of the car. The paper is t'hus moved slow- ly as the car travels. Suspended over the paper are a number of glass tubes, -cach containing red ink. They are really glass needles that makes a continuous mark on the paper. There is one needle for each track, one for iii-3 gauge of the rails, anâ€" other to measure the distance the car is travelling. Those needles are all connected, first, by shaft attachâ€" ed to the side, and then by delicate mechanism attached to the shaft. If the car is travelling over a perfect level track, these glass needles make a straight line. If there is an unduâ€" lation in the track of a fraction if an inch, the sensitive mechanism wavers, and the line becomes broken. Since no track is perfectly level, the record for the best roadâ€"bed in Amâ€" e1 ica is wavering. When the undulation or break in the level of the track is one-eighth of an inch or more, the mechanism opens a hose attached to a can of blue paint on the tracks, the paint is splurtezl on the rail and the deâ€" fect is t‘hus plainly marked for the section gangs. Every time the paint is thrown on the track a mark is made by the glass needle, giving a record by which to check the work of these track repairers. At the end of a test trip a permanâ€" ent record of the. roll is made and copies printed for the. various mechâ€" anical departments of the road. By this record the road is apprised of the actual condition of its road- bed. ._-_4_/___ BABY LAUGHS.

Commissioned to Stamp Out Every Vestige of Nation- ality. .\n intei'\icw published in the Lonâ€" don llaily News gives the opinion of a young Finnish lady, an exile. on the assassination of ion. Bobrikofl', lain Governor of the province. “General liobrikoff," she said, “is the. destroyer of Finland, deliberate- ly conunissionod to stamp out every vestigc of nationalityâ€"the national and even the education of the. people, which made Finland the one civilized part of the Russian No man has ever been but- cd in Finland like this cruel and bar- barons man.

When it was determined to break down the spirit and destroy tho institutions of the Finnish people my uncln was Minister of State for Finland. The post of Governorâ€"Genâ€" era] was offered to ofllcer after oili- cer, but they all, knowing what was expected of them, recoiled from the task. At last Bobrikofi was sug-‘ gcsledâ€"a. parvenu, son of a priest given to intoxication, but cle\'er,' aggressive and forceful, and, as I, said, hated by all his colleagues. He was the only one who would take the place. He had had some ere perienco of the work of tyranny int the East Sea provinces, and he was appointed precisely on account of the worst things known about him. TAMING A PEOPLE. “How has he set to work to (les- troy Finland, to break down the spirit of the. only educated and civil- iZed population in Russia? The ed- ucation of the people was the great thing aimed at. The Polytechnicum in Helsingforsâ€"tho only one. in Fin- landâ€"was suppresst, so that techni- cal cducation is absolutely stopped in the country. All meetings of the students in their clubs and debating societiesâ€"the Nylandsker Afdelningeni â€"were stoppedfand it became tress-i onablo to take the slightest. interest; in the education of the people. Many» of my relatives have been driven out of the country for nothing. Any excuse is taken to drive out the ed- ucated or those who take an interest in politics or resent the oppression of the people. They are trying to supplant the Finnish schools by schools teaching only Russian: they are planting Russian bishops and Russian churches, and trying to force' the people to abandon their Protes- tant religion. Anyone in authority who showed the slightest sign of 0b- jection was simply sent away and replaced. Numbers have been exiled, most of them going to Stockholm, but even there they are dogged at every step by Russian spies. Others have simply disappeared. They went to bed at night; in the morning they were not there. Their friends have no idea where they areâ€"perhaps in: ‘prison or perhaps in Siberia. News- papers re suppressed; all news of. what is going on has to be circulat- ed secretly." POLICY QF SUPPRESSION. Mr. C. Harold Pcrrott, who knows Finland well and has taken an ac- tive interest in Finnish politics, gave a brief and striking summary of the steps by which General Bobrikoi’f has attempted to destroy all sem- blance of liberty in Finland since his appointment six years ago. “Bobrikoff‘s predecessors in the Governor-G-eneralship," said Mr. Perâ€", rott, “had always been men of culâ€" tured stamp and high social position But when the new regime was start- ed in 1898 the post was offered to several leading Russian statesmen and declined. General Bobrikofl, a rough soldier, with no pretensions to family or education, then took the oflice. His sole ambition has been to stamp out the liberties of the people and substitute an autocracy, to do away with the selfâ€"governing institutions of the Grand Duchy. All the leading newspapers have been suppressed, most of the prominent citizens exiled, and a tremendous number of resignations 01' Finnish officers in the Russian army have occurred. POLICE DOMINATION. “The whole country has been flood-' ed with spies. the passport system has been instituted, the people are subjected to constant police raids and "domiciliary Visits,’ and practiâ€" cally the whole Finnish Senate has been summarily dismissed from their posts and creatures of the (lovernâ€" mcnt substituted. An influential manifesto was issued protesting the violation of Finland’s constitu- tional rights, and among those who some of the. leading jurists of Europe.
