From the Boston Transcript
Somebody asked several weeks ago how TO
use the etched or embroidered dolies which ap-
pear with finger bowls at dinner. The etiquette
OF doilies and finger bowls, as laid down by the
best New York authority some little time ago,
Is, that two napkins are brought with each
fnger bowl, the smallest of which is laid folded
on the plate to deaden the sound Of glass, and
the finger bowl lifted from the side Of the plate
and placed on 1t. The tips Of the fingers are
delicately dipped in the scented water and
dried by pressing on the larger napkin. which
Is then tossed aside, or thrown lightly over the
bowl. If grapes or berries which stain have
been part Of the dessert, the slice of lemon in
the water Is used to remove stains. handling
everything with highest, quietest OF touches
1t is entirely in keeping with good foreign man.
ners to dip corner Of the white napkin into
the water and pass it over the lips to freshen
the mouth.
At very refined small dinners the eastern
practice is followed Of sending round embossed
silver bowls or basins Of Benares brass and a
ever filed with scented water which is poured
by the servant over the fingers of each guest i'm
turn, which are then dried on the long embroid-
cred Turkish towel thrown over the mans arm
But such fashions as are mere copies Of foreign
practice, not specially recommending themselves
by obvious fitness are the pedantry Of etiquette
and always appear forced.

The Colorado bug and the cabbage butterfly
have already put in an appearance. Since the
last long cold rain, however, have not seen
one of the cabbage enemies. 1t seems to have
been rough on them.
1t is noticeable fact that no one, so far as

Inc number OF birds with gay plumage this

IT'S sad to think; It's surely mighty bad
To feel the poets whitening censure laid
On our o'erburdenad natures just complaint:
Because forsooth we dare to rise and faint

And balanced in our minds; that 80 much rain
In such excessive draughts, we now take in,
AS Go our patience sadly try. We shake
Our dexter digit thus and say-"My friend!
We don't catch On to words like these OF thine
Wherein thou boldly say'st, From all these

Thou'rt sheltered meath some kindly roof:
Whence, not compelled to issue, thou dost peer
Out through the dismal dampness, and behold
Thy fellow mortal drenched to the very skin

near 176O. DR.. Lewis had allowed a servant,
named Roger, to use the buttermilk in fattening
bis hogs. Says Tabtha:
''As for the buttermilk. neer a pig in the
parish shall thrust his snout in it with nv good
will. There's famous physician at the hot
well that prescribes it for his patience when the
case is consumptive, and the Scots and Irish
have begun to drink it already in such quanti-
ties that there is not drop left for the hogs in
the whole neighborhood of Bristol I'll have
our buttermilk barrelled up and sent twice a
week to Aberginny. where it may be sold for a
half penny the quart, and so Roger may carry
his pigs to another market. Tab. Bramble."

SsGreat Paul.,

OF bell of this weight distance of over one
hundred miles safely and without mourning q
great expense Is an undertaking of some diff
.-e1lty, and there was much excitement in the or
dinarily quiet little town of Loughborough on
Thursday while the huge bell was being fastened
with many precautions on trollery or car of
peculiar construction, built expressly for the
purpose. The work Of loading occupied the
greater part Of the day. The great bell stood
in the foundry on the ground; a workman, who
had to use ladder to reach the top, was early
set to clean and polish the smooth exterior with
brush, and the inscription in raised letters
could then be seen plainly. At the waist of the
bell, under the arms of the Dean and Chapter,
are the words "Vae mini 81 non evangelisarero, ~
and round the crown. John Taylor & Co., Foun-
ders, Loughborough." The alloy of which 1t

Veronica Mcclure looked ND at George W.

THE GARFIELD MEMORIAL HOS.
PITAL.


The New York Medical Record, the leading
weekly journal Of its class, speaks of the Me-
mortal Hospital movement as follows: ''The
progress that is being made in the plan for erect
ing Garfield memorial hospital has been duly
chronicled in this journal. The project was con-
ceived short time after the Presidents death,
and it then met with an enthusiastic reception.
The reasons for the establishment Of such hos
pital are now as strong as ever. Good progress
In the subscription of money has also been made
Unfortunately, however, Garfield has now been
dead eight months Already he is beginning to
be forgotten and the stalwarts-his political an
tagonists-rule the country. Consequently those
who are working for the hospital find some lack
OF interest, If not some actual opposition, in
some quarters against which to contend.
The ambitious but careful politician does not
wish to offend the stalwart living by too loudly
giorifying the anti-stalwart dead. 1t Is not
much that the medical profession can do in q
measure that requires congressional aid, but
we can, at least, assert 1t as the universal senti
ment of American physicians that such a memo
rial to Garfield is most worthy one, being at
once noble monument to the dead and an in
stitution greatly needed for the living. WASH
ington Is . large city, containing about $50 coo
inhabitants, yet it has no general non-sectarian
hospital, one which will receive and treat pa
tients at any time and Of any class There are
.hohy OIL Scib COusttAutiy uIutiuS 10 WaSuluR-
ton, and thousands of government clerks scat
tered throughout the city. who are often in
need of advantages which large, well-equipped
hospital could afford.
There is every reason, therefore-patriotfc
and humanitarian-that the Garfield Memorial
hospital should be established on a permanent
footing. So far, the medical profession has
everywhere endorsed the project. We trust
that it will use it's influence in the future to
press the matter forward. The hospital cannot
be built and sustained by Washington alone,
nor should it be 80. 1t is to be monument to
the nations dead President, and it is to treat
and care for strangers almost If not quite, as
much as natives Let those who are working
for 1t, therefore, have the hearty support of the
IN edcal profession"

Deer I'm the Louisiana SWamps.
From tho Natchez Democrat.
Few persons, we imagine, had any idea of the
vast number of deer still left in the swamps of
Louisiana until they were driven from their
Businesses by the high water of the present sea-
son. In the immediate vicinity of Natchez
there have been thousands of these beautiful
animals which have crossed the river within the
space Of a few miles above and below this city.
Worn and exhausted as they have been after
their long swim across the swollen river, they
would have fallen an easy prey to the Dot
hunters who only hunt for profit, had it not
been for the extraordinary exertions Of the
true spOrtsmen of the county. On Sunday last
several gentlemen in their Sunday rambles
found . number Of deer that had fallen into
ravine, from which they found it impossible to
get out. With true humanity they went to
work and dug pathway by which the little
animals could find their way out Of the ravine,
helped them to mount to the top of the bank,
and sent them on their way rejoicing to the
green woods of the country.
