4 Genuine Swedish Dinner.

Says correspondent of the San Fran
cisco Post,
Now, no one who has lived oil his
days beyond the borders Of Sweden
knows precisely what peculiarly formal,
and at the same time what a peculiarly
free and easy, feast the genuine Swedish
DINNER Is. Sui generis rs it is, the fol-
lowing description may do partly what
only participation crn wholly do: The
company is standing in little groups, and
as the preparations for lunch are com
pleted the buzz of conversation gradu-
ally ceases, Var sd god (please). says
the genial hostess, bowling to the chief
guest, and she walks up to the side-ta table,
spreads piece of bread with butter,
and walks away eating it, standing
meanwhile and entering again into con-
versatlon, while the others 0adies first,
then gentlemen follow in turn. At the
outset, too, the gentlemen feel the need
OF vine glass of brandy as an appe.
tzer, and some drink two or three, but
most Of the ladies desist. One or two
pieces of homemade biscuit, or Of the
particularly thin, hard-baked barley
bread, with slices Of cold meats or boiled
eggs inlaid follow and the tnch
ended, the company sits down to dinner.
A roa t and boiled potatoes are brought
steaming from the porter's lodge. The
same rules OF etiquette are observed as
before. Each helps himself and begins
eating ar once. If lie wishes more bread
1t Is not passed. but he leaves his place
at the table for it. All eat heartily Of
the first course of the dinner, as, prop
erly speaking, it is-wisely, the doctors
will say-the last. Then pudding for
desert is eaten; and the busy hum of
conversation-hright and remarkably in
ttlligent conversation, too, it is-contin-
ues TOR half-hour, when fruit is eaten,
and a cup of coffee with toasted bread
finishes the Swedish dinner"

eight years he has been connected with the
Retreat. The witness had made four examin1-
tons OF the Prisoner at the jail, directed to his

The witness detailed at great length the re-
tults of his ex smlnations and interviews with
Guitssu. Pending tho cross-examlnation the
court adjourned.

A Rule That Works Both WAYS.

"That must be false ru e, says the
Interior, requiring virtue. cleanliness
and good temper and conduct in women,
while many n.en may 70 on to any
length almost, and society one and all

ever degrades woman also degrades a
man. Take some Of the vices and hab-
It's Of the day. A man smokes filthy
cigar, or carries about half an ounce Of
tobacco in his cheek, and yet expects
his wife to preserve a clean mouth and a
sweet breath. Again, a Young man
starts out to spend the evening with his
adored EveliDa. Should he find her not
at home, but IN the neighborlDg saloon,
however genteel it might be, that would
be his last visit In his estimation she
would have sunk below his level, and
yet that young man himself is daily
visitor 10 that same saloon, and engages
in all its exercises

GEMS OF THOUGHT.
IYrom Con. rllnt... q Ad.m Rsds.n1

tfrom Geo EIuts's " Adam bede.'
THE beauty of lovely woman is like
music.
Our dead are never dead to us until
We have forgotten them.
A WOMAN may get to love by degrees;
the best fire does not flare up the sool-
est.
A MAN may be very firm in other mat
tiers, and yet be under sort OF wltchery
from woman.
WHEN death, the great reconcfer has
come, it is never our tenderness that we
repent of, but our severity.
If You would love a woman without
ever looking back on Jour love as folly,
she must die while yoa are counting her.
We ARE apt to be kinder to the brutes
that love us than 70 the woman that love
us. Is it because the brutes are dumb
l DON'T want to know people that look
ugly and disagreeable, any more than |
want to taste dishes that LOOK disagreea-
bic.
THEN they looked at each other, not
quite as they had looked before, for in
their eyes there was the memory of
Kiss.
THERE'S no pleasure in living if you're
to be corked up forever, and only drib-
bic your mind out by the sly, like leaky
barrel.
ONE may be betrayed into doing
things by combination of circum-
stances which one might never have
done otherwise.
Bur, mother, thee know'st we can
not love just where other folks I'D have
US. There's nobody but God that can
control the heart of man.
The vainest woman is never thoroughly
conscious of her own beauty till she is
loved by the man who sets her own
passion vibrating in return.
BECAUSE, dear, trouble comes to us
all III this life, we set our hearts on
things which isn't Gods will for us to
have, and then we go sorrowing.
MAN never lies with more delicious
langor under the influence of passion,
than when he has persuaded himself
that he shall subdue it omorrow.
WHEN l have made up my mind thst
can not afford to buy tempting dog, [
take no notice of him, because if he
WIN SUIonS fancy 10 me, duu looheu
lovingly at me, the struggle between
arithmetic and inclination might become
unpleasantly severe.
IRIS deep mystery-the way the
heart of man turns to one woman
out of all the rest he's seen in
the world, and makes it easier for him
to work seven years for her. like Jacob
did for Rachel, sooner than have any
other woman for the asking.
But / believe there have been men
since his day who have ridden q long
way to avoid rencontre, and then
galloped hastily back, lest they should
Mrs it 1t is the favorite strategem of
our passions to charm retreat, and to
turn sharp around upon us the moment
we have made up our minds that the
day is our own.

Brigham Young,s Successor.

The costly furniture for the Amelia
Palace creates lively comment. There
are sofas in the outfit which cost S15C
apiece, easy chairs which cost S75, and
carpets which cost $500 for each room.
The style in which Taylor proposes to
live Is in marked contrast with his hum.
BILE circumstances in the years when he
played second fiddle to the big boss
Brigham. At that time he had hard
work to get along, and when elevated to
position of seer and revelator. George
Cannon offered him one of his houses to
live In because his house was too poor
an abode for prophet of the Lord.
Since Taylor has been able to grasp the
reins of power, he has made hay at a
lively rate, but his grasping energies are
not to the strengthening of the stakes of
Zion, but to the vulgar accumulation of
riches. The poor dupes of his doctrines
wear shabby clothes and live in wretched
adobe huts, that they may pay tithes
and enable the sleek fraud, who rules
the church and handles the cash box. to
lounge amid luxuries which cannot be
furnished in Utah, but must of necessity
be procured in New York. 1t is est
but those who have inspected il saw that
the palace cannot be furnished In the
style Taylor contemplates for less than

which the saints are beginning to ask
themselves is, where does John Tsy.

PIRATES 1t boldly from the tithing fund ?"
This money, the Mormons think, should
go to besutify the temples of the Lord,
instead of being squandered on Taylor.
WHO hasn't revealed anything of any ac-
count since he went into office Taylor's
excuse for this course is that he Is not
hitting up this palace for himself, but for
the princes and potentates of Europe
and Senators and Congressman who
happen 10 emigrate this way. The Gel
lar is to be stocked with the best cham
psgne for visitors to be entertained with

Something Pretty for Spreads.

For nice, light, soft comfortables,
nothing is better than cheese cloth
either unbleached or colored. The
pinks are exceedingly pretty. They
look and feel much like the old-fash-
toned wool delaine, and make lovely
comfortables, tied with knots Of worsted
and button-hole stitched around the
edge. For little quilts nothing is prettier
than unbleached tied with blue or pink.
The cheese cloth should be of the bes:
quality, also the cotton, to make them
real soft and dainty.

amendment to Senator Ingalls, bill for the en-
largement of the water works. which was pre-
sented in full in The STAR several days ago:

DISCUSSING MEASURES TO RELIEVE 1T.
The committee of the American Bar Associa-
tiOnmet in the consultation room of the Su-
preme Court at II a. m. to-day and sent to the
supreme judges to inquire what hour would be
convenient for them to receive visit from the
committee. The court appointed quarter to
IL. and at that hour the committee paid their
respects. At noon the committee went into
session and entered upon discussion of plans
for the establishment OF some Jurisdiction that
will relieve the Supreme Court of the pressure
of business now upon it. STAR reporter saw
MIR. Merrick, Mr.. ClarksOn N. Potter, of New
York. and several others of the COM
mittee. They said there was no prOba-
bilitv of anything definite being done
to-day; that the entire subject would be can
vassed and the committee probably be in session
for several days: that the utmost cordiality ana
unity of sentiment exists between the supreme
judges. the committee and the Senate judiciary
committee; that all of them realize the ne
cessity of early action. and it is probable that
new court will be established with Jurisdiction
over cases of such character as may properly be
taken from the Supreme Court; that the docket
of the Supreme Court will then be Oyerhauled
and sifted and all cases properly belonging to
the new court transferred to it.
