How t0 Use Your Napkin at Dinner

The law of the napkin is but vaguely
understood. One Of our esteemed met
ropolitan contemporaries informs an
eager Inquirer that it is bad form to
fold the napkin after dinner; that the
proper thing is to throw it with negli-
gent disregard on the table beside the
plate, Us to fold it would be 4 reflection
on the host. and imply Il familiarity
that would not betit an invited guest.
But the thoughtful reader will agree
witlTus that this studied disorder is like
ly to be good deal more trying to y
fastidious hostess than an unstudied re-
placing of the napkin in good order be-
side the visitors plate. The proper
thing is to fold the fabric with unosten-
tatious care and lay it on the left of the
plate far from the liquids, liqueurs, and
coffee, and thus testify to the hostess
that her care in preparing the table has
been appreciated.
The napkin has played famous parts
in the fortunes of men and women. 1t
was one of the points admired in Marie
Stuart that. thanks TO her exquisite
breeding In the court of Marie dc
Medici, her table was more imposing
than the full court of her great rival and
executiOner, Elizabeth. At the table of
the latter the rudest forms were main
tanned, the dishes were served on the
table, and the great Queen helped her.

At the court of the late Empire,
Eugene was excessively fastidious.
The use of the napkin, and
the manner of eating an egg, made
or ruined the career of q guest The
great critic, Sainte Beuve, was dis
graced and left off the visiting list be-
cause, at breakfast with the Emperor
and Empress, at the Tuileries, he care
lessly opened his napkin and spread it
over his own knees and cut his eggs in
two in the middle. The court etiquette
prescribed that the half-folded napkin
should be on the left knee, to be used in
the least obstructive manner in touching
the lips, and the egg was to be merely
broken on the larger end with the
edge of the spoon and drained with its
tip. The truth is, luxury and invention
push table appliances so far that few
can be expected to know the particular
convention that may be considered
good form in any diversified society.

0f Our fathers, at all events tncy "e.e
never directly or indirectly attacked.
Bows could learn nothing from their
story-books except preposterous platl-
tudes nothing that was OF any prac-
teal use, OF that tended to develop in
them manly and brilliant traits. No
such complaint can be made Of the dime
and half-dme novels Of the criminal
school which are now read by ali our
boys, either openly or secretly. In these
delightful stories new forms Of profanity
and slang are taught in the most effect
i've way. The pleasure, oi burglary
and highway robbery, the manlineSs OF
gambling and fighting, and the her"i,m
of successful lying, are set forth in wha,
is regarded by youthful readers Is glow
ing elo4uence; while the great truths
that all parents are tyrantS, that all
religious people are hypocrites. and that
disObedience to fathers and teachers Is
obedience to the nobler instincts oi
juvenile nature, are sedulouSly taught.
Such stories as these develop all that il
manly and lawless in our boys, anc
teach them lessons that can not fail Il.
be of immense service 10 them in what
ever criminal career they may adopt.
There are a few Old-fashoned peOpln
who. denounce the new juvenile litera>
ture in unsparing terms; but that nearly
all fathers approve of it is self-evident.
They know that their boys are reading
novels illustrative of the excellence %
crime, but they make no effort to sup
press that sort of literature, Is they
certainly would do did they disapprovc
Of it. Nothing would be simpler than
to drive those novels out Of existence.
All that it would be necessary to d.
would be to boycott" the news deal
ers who keep them for sale. The trutA,
evidently Is that fathers either do nc;
care what their boys read, or that theg
have no fault to find with "Jack Hark
away" and the d" Boy Burglars" Itcal
not be that respectable gentlemen who
dislike crime. profanity and vulgarity.
willfully refuse to know what their boys
are reading. or weakly hope that By
some happy chance their reading will:

Culture OF Cabbage.

Until recently cabbages have been
more easily raised than almost any gar
den crop. Since the advent of the im-
ported cabbage insect, however, their
production has been very difficult. Dur
ing the past year the market has been
very poorly supplied with cabbage, al.
though large quantities have been i'm.
ported. Sauerkraut has also been
brought from Germany to supply the
demand. Persons who live in localities
that have not been visited by the cab
bage insect will find this a very profita.
bic crop to raise. Cabbages are easily
shipped. and are very certain to COM
mand good prices. The demand for
them is large In all towns having An ex-
,ensive German population. Sauer-
kraut is now regular article of COM
merce, and can be advantageously man.
ufactured in places where the cabbages
are raised and sent to market in bar
rels. Various means have been en-
ployed for killing the cabbage insect,
but the employment of any Of them is
attended with considerable expense and
difficulty. Prof. Cyrus Thomas, State
EntomOlogist of Illinois, does not think
it pays to try to kill the cabbage insect
with hot water or by means OF any of
the poisons in general use. He recon-
mends raising the crop in time to have
il mature before the cabbage fly ap.
pears. He would not restrict the crop
IN carly varieties, but would plant the
AGED of late varieties in hot-beds and
cold frames, transplant as soon 40 tho
soil and atmosphere are entirely warm,
and hasten the growth a. fast as posi-
BILE by careful cultivation. That good
crop Of cabbage can be raised in this
way with less trouble than is expert.
enced in fighting insects is quite certain ;
but the difficulty appears to be in pre-
serving them for use in the fall and win.
ter. Cabbages are chiefly in demand
quite late in the season, after other vtP
etables have ''had.their day." 1t may
be practical to preserve them In deep
pils.-Ch:cago Times.
