Dinner Innovations.

An alteration in the arrangement of
the dinner table has been already adopted
by the more refined and delicate dinner
givers of London, The tablecloths are
no longer of the snowdrop white which
their grandmothers were so proud to
display on the polished mahogany board
but are of the color best suited to the
furniture and the walls of the room.
Some are now being exhibited in the
show rooms in Waterloo Place of neu-
trail tint of brown ''made to go with
every color" The table is adorned
with flower pots all down the centre.
These are enclosed in covers of bright
colored plush, embroidered in gay colors,
and are really more effective than the
most expensive Sevres china could pos
sihy be. But the greatest innovation
of all is to be seel in the new Japanese
dinner napkins. They are of cut paper,
and can be used but once, of course, but
are curious, and considered much pref

Female FerOcity.

Female ferocity gave a thrilling exhibit
ton of itself at the contest between Jane
Mcclellan and Frances McNair, Lumber
ton. N. G. Both had fallen madly in love
with the same man and to see which
should possess him, they agreed to fight.
Jane was the larger and more muscular
but while Frances was spare she was 1.-THE
and quick of motion. They fought each
other like tigers, and finally Jane sue
ceeded in throwing her small but plucky
opponent, and with her heavy knee
pressed in the stomach of the PROSTATE
woman, grasped her by the throat with
the fury of a tigress and well nigh choked
the life from her. Finally, by last
terrible effort, Frances, who had been
wriggling upon the ground like serpent
in agony, gave sudden twist of the
body, forcing her antagonist to lose her
seat and fail sideways to the ground.
Before she could recover herself, Frances
got on her feet, drew bowie-knife and
plunged into the heart of Jane Mcclellan
who died with one gasp. Then, on
sight of the gaping wound, the victor in
the fight fell in swoon across the dead
body, where she was found. A party
had followed them but too late to pre-
vent the terrible tragedy.

Children Bury a Playmate Alive.

A horrible rumor comes to us of an
incredible act of foolshness on the part
OF some colored children living near
Etoniah Creek, Putnam County, Florida,
by the name of Williams. 1t seems the
children had been to funeral shortly
before, and while playing at home the
other day the idea of burial came into
their heads. A large hole was dug, and
one Of their number, ayoung child hardly
more than baby, was put in and COW
cred up entirely. The other children
played around awhile longer, but soon

wandered off. At night. when inquiry
was made after the missing child. the
horrible story was told. The afrighted

and dug up the child, but, of course, too

Barrels OF Human Ashes.

The students at the University of PENN
sylvania have nearly all completed their
years work in the dissecting room, and
that department will be closed in few
days; in consequence of which the inter-
esting experiments in cremating the dead
bodies brought to the University will be
discontinued for the present. 1t is not
generally known that a crematory has
been erected in the new college building,
and that the bodies, after they have been
used by the students, are sent down to
the furnace and burned to white ashes.
This disposition of the dead bodies is
considered by the University people
much better than the old way of throw
ing them into a pit and allowing them
to decompose. The crematory furnace
is large one, built after the pattern OF
the one at Washington, in this State, and
burn as many as eight bodies at time.
As a result of its frequent and seccessful
use recently the Superintendent of the
crematory has on hand several barrels of
ashes, the mortal remains of more than a
hundred Z" subjects" The great problem
now is, what disposition shall be made
Of the accumulation? 1t would not be
exactly proper to dump it in the common
ash heap and send it to the fertilizers,
although such a proceeding has been
proposed. 1.-The subject seems to have
pretty hard time of it altogether. After
being in pickle for months, he or she, as
the case may be, is carved up, burned
with a batch of fellow-victims, and the
ashes. barreled up to await an inquest of
professors as to what shall next become
of them. About eight hours are required
to reduce half-dozen bodies to ashes,
and twenty-four hours are consumed in
the cooling-off process. A 150-pound
body comes out of the furnace reduced
to less than half dozen pounds on the
average. Several experiments are to be
made soon to determine into how small
quantity of ashes human being can
be reduced. Propositions have been
made by some of the custodians of the
smallpox hospital to cremate the patti
ents who die there. The matter has
suggested to the Board of Health and the
experiments proposed at the University
cremator may lead to more important
results than were at first Intended

MATTE AND THE DUSTPAM

rye sung my love in many rhyme;
I've wound her life in many a story
What better worth hath poets time,
Than adding to his mistress glory?-
I've sung her dainty morning dress;
I've sung the needle in her hand;
I've written verses to her curls,
And strewn them broadcast DER the land.
But there's one weapon she can WELD,
One before which ever yield;
To her 1t is both sword and shield
Her dainty little dust-pan.
All dusts thing you might suppose
That never could be made romantic,
And, placed before the poets nose,
Would have effect to drive him frantic.
But poets still must eat and drink,
However far they like to roam:-
Ali Dante's self had smiled, l think,
To find his Beatrice at home
A cottage in Italian land,
A jolly dinner neatly planned,
And in his lovely lady's hand
A dainty little dust-pan.
All! Matte knows the poet-soul
Is not sustained by fairy Dishes
AT breaktast-time it wants roll,
And has some fixed ideas on fishes;
That ecstasies are very well,
But cleanliness must have place;
That heavenly raptures as they swell
Will not support our fallen race.
And so at morn she comes in sight.
Armed with the symbol of her might
To put my troubled room to right
Her dainty little dust-pan.

is given to the tobacco, to the exclusion
of the corn and other hoed crops. l
have seen the corn and potato fields of
tobacco raisers full of weeds, but their
tobacco patch as "clean as whistle"
l have in my mind farm upon which
the "weed" has been raised for seven or
eight years back. Ten years ago the
owner would cover ten or twelve acres
with manure, each year, and raised big
crops of barley, oats and corn. His
cornfield was well cultivated, and some
times hoed; the corn would usually av
erage 100 bushels to the acre, barley so
to So, and the oats 80 to 60 bushels to
the acre. In the summer of 1890 the
corntield was so full of tall weeds that
one could hardly wade through it; and
in 1879, l think, the potato patch was
so full of weeds that it required good
eyesight to find where the potatoes
were. In the season of 1881 the barley
crop on that farm, was told, averaged
IL bushels to the acre, and the oats Is.
The corn crop, Judging from its appear
ance, yielded 50 to 40 bushels per acre.
Of course there was a splendid crop of
tobacco, which brought the highest
market price.
There are five or six farms in my VI
cinity upon which the owners contem-
plate raising tobacco the coming sea-
son. Every bit of manure that is made
on these already exhausted farms will
find its way to the tobacco patch. The
corn crop will go without the food it
Graves, will grow up to weeds and be
one third of crop.
Now l say is it good policy for a
farmer to let nine-tcnths of his farm
become exhausted at the expense of the
other tenth? and "does it pay?"
If | am rightly informed down in
cole Virginny" there are thousands of
acres of old tobacco lands which are
now nearly worthless and can be bought
for a song. am also informed that in
the Connecticut valley the famous to-
bacco tract the land is slowly but sure
ly approaching to exhaustion So it
will be in Dane and Rock counties of
this State not many years hence, if the
farmers make this crop their bonanza.
But am afraid have wearied your
patience with my rambling remarks.
The enthusiastic raiser of the tweed"
is no doubt disguised with my effusion.
Let us hear the other side of the ques-
ticn and perhaps l will give another
shot.
Will j. C. Ilumb or some candid
farmer living in Rock county, please
give us the result of the observation as
to the effect tobacco raising is having
upon the tillable land of that section,
Rock county has been the banner to-
bacco county in the State. Is the soil
in that county producing as much corn,
barley, oats, etc. per acre as 1t did 10
years ago? Please be frank and candid
now on this subject. l am afraid some
of the farmers in this section will 'loose
their heads" if the fever that | alluded
to in the commencement of this article
is not at least checked.
