Dinuer Table Fansiss.

To be in thoroughly good form at dinner is the,
very inforescenoe Of civilized life Like many
other regulations Of social life, dinner table,
etiquette is arbitrary, but not to know certain
things is to argue yourself unknown SO far
as society life goes. To take soup pushing.
the spoon from rather than toward yourself;
to touch the napkin as little as possible; to
accept or decline what is offered instantly and
quietly; these and other trifes characterize,
the well-bred diner.out 1he attempts to
introduce too much color IN dinner table,
decorations are rather declining. The finest
white damask still holds the preference, and the
center piece of plush or velvet under the lace is
little used now. Fewer flowers, too, are seen,
and those in very low forms The dessert plates
come in deep tones in Dresden china, and
d'oyley on which the finger bowl rests should
be Immediately removed with the bowl on
reaching the guest The latest fashion in ice
cream plates is the Bohemian glass in oval
form with small handles Menu cards, hand
painted, hold the preference, but many are
seen ON tinted cardboard, with engraved vign-
ette in one corner and the date in another.

His Good Name Came Back to Him.

Jacob Aeschbach keeps a small store
at 81 Washington Street, Hoboken, and
repairs watches and jewelry. He is
forty-four years old, and in twenty years
he has had eighteen children born to him,
ten of whom are living. On Tuesday
two sharpers stole from his store a
valuable gold watch belonging to John
r. Ryszczyuski, and he felt keenly the
fact that people suspected him to be the
thief. For two days and nights his wife
cried over the misfortune.
He heard that two men had been
arrested in Newark while trying to rob a
jeweler, and he went there yesterday,
accompanied by the Chief of Police of
Hoboken and Mr. Ryszczyuski He at
once identified the prisoners as the men
who stole the watch. When he saw
them in the First Precinct police station
his eyes filled with tears, and in an ex-
cited and dramatic manner he told how
each acted in his store. One of them,
he said, left with him the inside frame
of chain locket that he might fit glass
| into it.
Here is the Frame" he added, draw
ing it from his pocket, "The man kept
the locket, but saw in it something red,
and | should know it if saw it again"
A locket which had been taken from
one of the prisoners, Charles Howard,
was shown to Aeschbach. Immediately
he cried and laughed by turns, and at
the same time exclaimed: 30, my God!
Thank heaven, Pm saved! Mr.. Chief,
that is the locket. See how this frame
will fitit." The locket was opened, and
it was found that the frame which the
hysterical jeweler produced belonged to
it. In the locket was piece of red fan
mel. The sight of this drew tears from
Aeschbach's eyes again.
THAT is the red stuff | saw" he
shouted. 80, for God S sake, telegraph
to my wife that I'm safe and have found
the men who stole the watch. She has
been crying her life away. They said l
stole the watch, but now, thank God,
my good name is come back to me and
my family" .
The police officials said that in all their
experience they had never seen man so
beside himself with joy as was Aesch-
bach. NJ y Sun.

"Please, Papa, Don't Drink /"

"Please, papa. don't drink" A
bright, golden head was laid on the
broad shoulder, the deep blue eyes
looked pleadingly up, while little plump
fingers clasped as well as they could the
large, strong hand. Lovingly she
rested there, but tears fast filled the
eyes, and the curly tresses trembled
with emotion, for the dear child was
thinking of her fast changing father, of
the bloated face and CLASSY eye, of the
caresses which now never came, of the
angry words often spoken. of the pale,
worn, tired mother; of the bare feet,
and the supperless nights when they
were hurried to bed; of the changes
that had crept into their once lovely
home, and, most of all, over that dear
one on whom all her childish love was
conferred. Child that she was, she felt
the change in home and father, and
with instincts almost divine had learned
the cause. Her troubled young heart
could brook the difference no longer;
so, creeping noiselessly to his side, put
ting her loving head on his shoulder,
with one hand in his and the other cir
cling his neck, softly said Papa, dear,
please don't drink any moreH'
g lease, papa, don't drinkn' The
| tile sufferer lay upon couch of pain,
intently looking up at the wreck OF her
devoted parent. The accursed god of
Bacchus had stolen away his former
self, and the burning fever had wasted
her lovely form. She knew she must
die, that the dark angel would take her
soon from those she loved and bear her
spirit away to a brighter and better
home. How could she leave that faith
er, so loved and yet so altered, the dear
father of her childish sports and youth
full sorrowsP Something must be done;
he must be saved; an ef1ort-the very
last she could ever make must be put
forth to arrest his downward career.
I he parched lips move, the feeble hands
raise, and the bowed head of that once
strong man catches the whispered
words: Papa, q, papa please don t.
don't drink any morer' and the tired
spirit winged its way to another world.
o, that some power would turn the
eyes of men inward, that they might
see themselves as they really are, and
behold the degradation and misery they
infiict upon those given them to guard
and to keep! Could they for just one
short moment see the tears wrung from
anguished hearts, the cheeks grown
pale, and heart-strings broken, could
all the poverty, shame and suffering, all
the vice and crime, the blasted hopes
and ruined homes, come before them as
it comes before the world, there would
be forever an end to this acc rsed raffiC
and drink. But now, from every ham
let and dale, from every city and town.
from the length and breadth OF our
land, comes the same heart-rending
cry, and hosts of shame-faced children,
robbed of their paternal rights. are
pleading in agonizing tones; "Please,
papa, don't drink any more!'-M. Y
