Napkins. Eggs and Finger Bowl.

NaphAAA1S EbBb anu AAbCE DVHAAe
Laramie BOomerang.l
It had been stated, and very truly,
too. that the law Of the napkin is but
vaguely understood. 1t may be said.
however, on the start, that custom and
good breeding have uttered the decree
that it is poor taste to put the napkin
in the pocket and carry it away.
The rule of etiquette is becoming
more and more thoroughly established,
that the napkin should be left at the
house of the host or hostess after
dinner.
There has been a good deal of dis
cussion also upon the matter of fold
ing the napkin after dinner, and
whether it should be so disposed of or
negligently tossed into the gravy boat.
If, however, it can be folded easily,
and without attracting too much at
tention and prolonging the session for
several hours, it should be so arranged
and placed beside the plate, where it
may be easily found by the hostess
and returned 70 her neighbor, from
whom she borrowed it for the occasion.
If, however, the lady of the house is
not doing her own work, the napkin
may be carefully iammed into globu
lar wad and fred under the table, to
convey the idea OF utter recklessness
and pampered abandon.
The use of the finger bowl is also
subject of much importance to the bon
ton guest who gorges himself at the
expense Of his friends.
The custom of drinking out of the
finger bowl, though not entirely obso.
lete, has been limited to the extent
that good breeding does not now per-
init the guest to quaf the water from
his finger bowl unless he does so prior
to using it as finger bowl.
Thus it will be seen that the social
customs are slowly but surely cutting
down and circumscribing the rights
and privileges of the masses.
AT the court Of Eugene the customs
Of the table were very rigid, and the
most prominent guest of Her Royal
Highness was liable to get the z. b. if
he spread his napkin on his lap and
cut his egg with carving knife. The
custom was that the napkin should be
hung on one knee and the egg burst at
the big end and scooped out with a
spoon.
A prominent American at her table
one day in an unguarded moment
shattered the shell Of soft. boiled egg
with his knife, and while prying il
apart both thumbs were enormously
damned into the true inwardness OIL
the fruit with SO much momentum
that the gjuice took him in the eye,
thus binding him and maddening him
to such a degree that he got up and
threw the remnants into the bosom. Of
the hired man plenipotentiary who
stood near the table scratching his
ear with tray. As may readily sup
posed there was a painful interim
during which it was hard to tell fol
Eve or six minutes whether the prom.
iuent American or the hired mar
would come out on top; but at last the
American with the egg in his eye got
the ear Of the high priced hired man il
among his back teeth and the honor o.
our beloved flag was vindicated.

Bishop Quintard DippiUg Into
Politics.

GAINESVILLE Chronicle, IL
In the course Of his last Sunday
morning sermon, Bishop Quintard, in
discoursing on the deplOrable evil
tendencies of the day, took occasion to
speak Of our States unfortunate con-
dition in the following language:
Shall we go to our Legislatures for
remedies against the crying evils Of
the day? God forbid They chatter
and chatter with the public creditor,
and yet the debt goes unpaid. If il
be an evil for a private Individual to
20 through life with tainted reputa-
ton, how infinitely worse for the Com.
moawealth that il should suffer its
integrity and honor to be tempered
with. God forbid that we should
look for relief against the immora
tendencies of the day to such bodies.
The reverend gentleman dismissed the
subject by remarking that he was nc
politician, but was constrained to say
| this much.

pies Of the ore were sent to Professor
Troost, Of Nashville, who was General
Martins old teacher, for analysis.
Professor Troost pronounced the ore
very rich, q specimen OF which the
General brings along with him in his
grip-saek. Professor Troost fonnd the
specimen very refractory. There were
explosions in its behavior under the
blowpipe, as if it were charged with
petroleum. One specimen brought
here by the General appears to be the
red earthly oxide, having a greasy
surface, while another is the black
oxide Of manganese, having steel
color.
About twenty five years ago
DAVID DALE OWEN,
who made the geological survey Of
the district, speaks of the lizard
county manganese, and he stated that
he believed Arkansaw would take the
lead of all the Western States in her
resources in ores Of zinc and manga
nese. The manganese ores have
chiefly been found in European locali-
ties. 1t was formerly used for making
chlorine for bleaching purposes, and
in the manufacture of glass. A few
years ago Edison sent to Arkansaw
for manganese to use in some Of his
electric inventions, and of late years
there has been a great demand for
manganese in the manufacture of
Bessemer steel. General Martin says
that hundreds of loads have been
taken away from his mines. He is in
possession Of an abundance Of this
worlds means, but is determined to
recover his rights through the Courts,
though he does not expect to realize
any profits during his lifetime.
