The Zodiac.

AS to the signs of the zodiac, Prof. A.
81. Sayce says that the origin and mean
ing of some of them are plain enough.
1t is not difficult, for instance, to dis
cover the horns of the bull In the symbol
of Taurus or the arrow In that of Sag
ittarius. But the meaning of others.
such as the symbols of Virgo, of Scorpio
or of Capricornus is not SO self-eVident.
These symbols are of comparatively
modern invention, and first came into
use along with the symbols still en-
ployed by astronomers to denote the
planets. But, modern though the use of
them may be, it is quite otherwise with
the signs themselves, and the majority
of the names by which we still call them.
Recent research has shown that the gem
eral voice of classical antiquity was right
In regarding the Chaldeans as the first TO
map oat the path of the sun during the
year into separate regions or constella-
tons. There are indications that names
OF the zodiacal signs were originally given
when the vernai equinox still coincided
with the entrance of the sun into Taurus.

Good and Bad Table Manners.

Some people eat instinctiveIy with
great elegance some never achieve ele-
gance in these minor matters, but all
should strive for it. There is no more
repulsive object than person who eats
noisily, grossly, indignantly. DR.. John
son is remembered for his brutal way of
eating almost as much as for his great
learning and genius. With him it was
selfish preoccupation.
Fish and fruit are eaten with silver
knives and forks or, if silver fsh-knives
are not provided, piece of bread can be
held In the left hand. Fish corrodes a
steel knife.
Never tilt a soup-plate for the last
drop, or ostentatiously scrape your plate
clean.
A part of table manners should be the
conversation. By mutual consent, every
one should bring only the best that is in
him to the table. There should be the
greatest care taken in the family circle
to talk of only agreeable topics at meals.
The mutual forbearance which prompts
the neat dress, the respectful bearing,
the delicate habit of eating, the atten-
ton to table eteduitte, should also make
the mind put ON its best dress, and the
effort of any one at meal should be to
make himself or herself as agreeable as
possible.
No one should show any haste in be-
! ing helped, any displeasure at being
left until the last. 1t is always proper
at an informal meal to ask for second
| cut, to say that rare or underdone beef is
| more to your taste than the more cooked
portions.
But one never asks twice for soup or
fish; one is rarely helped twice at des-
sert. These dishes, also salad, are sup
posed to admit of but one helping.

Warning to Farmers.

Farmers should be careful about set
ting old straw stacks on fire. 4 New
Jersey farmer burned straw stack, and,
just as the flames were becoming torrid.
six tramps crawled out of the stack,
their hair singed, and smoke oozing out
of their collars and places where the
clothing was torn. They upbraided the
farmer for his carelessness, and threat
ened to sue him for damages. A straw
stack was burned near Racine and hu-
man bones were found in the ashes.
Somebody is short one tramp. The
best way to do, before burning straw
stack, is to take pitch-fofk and, run it
into the stack all around, and if no
smothered profanity is heard, you can
conclude the tramps have got into the
barn or hog pen.-Peck's San.
