scientists say, is likely to reach America
next summer, and the enterprising statis-
tcian has demonstrated the fact that sim
gle men of all ages are much more liable
to become victims of this malady than
married men. Indeed. we believe the
proportion is almost three to one. No

begin at once to fortify themselves against

There is growing probability that the
Blair educational bill may pass the House.
The fact that the bill has ardent support
ers among prominent representatives from
the South makes it more probable that it
not anxious or deeply concerned over the
problem of illiteracy. but it is anxious to
secure appropriations. North Carolina,
Mississippi and Virginia members are
specially earnest in support of the bill.

A Mean Advantage

a sunny head, almost hidden by a
white straw hat, was thrust into the
open window of the parlor of DR.. Pritch-
ard, a large brick building planted in
the vicinity of newly discovered min
eral spring, and clear voice laughed:
"Shame on you, ladies, for sitting in
the house on such a lovely May morn
ing! Just look at my beautiesr' dis
playing a pretty toy of a basket, in
which nestled rosy verbenas, big blue
yiolets, and the waXy bells OF the wild
hyacinth, in charming confusion or
profusion. Take that for your want
of taster'
And she threw handful of flowers
into the room, and sped away with a
saucy laugh. .-
"Oh, that Norar' sighed Mrs. Drap-
ier, languid widow, in blue cash
mere wrapper, all cream-colored lace
and embroidery.
"She is combination of exclamation
points and boisterousness," commented
Miss Effie Morton, who herself was a
combination of die-away prettiness and
jealous disposition, as she spitefully
| tiicked away one of Nora violets that
had fallen on her dress. "And such a
hoyden as she is"
'Such contrast to her father!r
mourned Mrs. Drapler, who was more
than suspected of having designs on the
heart and hand of Mr., Carston, the
millionaire widower, who. for his i'm
agined and multifarious ailments, was
staying at DR.. Pritchard's with his pret-
/ ty daughter, Nora.
"Yes, she is a contrast" assented

/ beauty, looking up from the cardinal

THE ART OF GOOD DINING.
How the Table Should be Spread and the
Repast Served.


Let the table, when no one is present
but the home circle, be the model of
what it should be when surrounded by
guests. Lay piece Of Canton flannel
under your tablo-cloth. Even coarse
napery will look a much better quality
with a sub-covcr than it spread directly
over the bare table top.
Avoid the cheap trick OF hotels and
restaurants in the arrangement of nap
kins and table utensils. Simplicity is
never ridiculous, while pretension usual
ly is. Place the napkins on the left side
of the plate with piece of bread in its
folds, the fork on the right hand, next
to that the knife with the sharp edge
turned from the one who is to use it,
beyond this the soup spoon.
At the point of these set the tumbler
and individual butter-plate. Mats, table
spoons, salt cellars and pepper cruets
may be arranged to suit ones taste.
Danish the heavy caster from the CEN
ter Of the table and put there instead a
vase of flowers, if it be nothing more
ambitious than some bits of Ivy or ever
green frightened by spray of bitter
sweet
At the carver's place spread a white
napkin, the point toward the middle Of
the table, to protect the cloth from
splashes of gravy.
Let the soup be served by the mistress
and eaten with no accompaniment ex-
cept piece of dry bread in the hand.
Buttering is only less vulgar than thick
ening the contents Of the plate with
crumbs. When this course has been
removed the meat and vegetables may
be placed on the table.
If there is salad, it should be served
separately, in course by itself.
The heavy part of the dinner eaten,
the maid should be summoned and
should commence the clearing of the
table by carrying out first the meat,
then the dishes of vegetables, and
after that plates and butter plates, plac.
ing one on top of the other and using g
tray to transfer everything except the
large platters.
Do not permit her to go through the
operation of scraping the contents Of
one plate into another, with clatter Of
knives and forks, and then bearing of
the whole pile at once. Two plates at ;
time are enough for one load.
Next after the soiled dishes, have
taken off mats, salt cellars and othe
table furniture but tumblers, waite
bottle or pitcher, napkin rings and ic,
bowl, and then have the crumbs brushed
and tray used.
The dessert is then served, and excep
at ceremonious dinner the tea or coffee
which should never appear earlier in tn,
action, and.the work OF waiting is done

BLOuD-
BY WILD BIRD.

At ease, in his glory the rumseller ate,
Nor cared for the cost of his viands and
plate.
His wife shone in silks, and her jewels we're
bright
He thought not, nor cared for the terrible
blight
or his customers home, where poverty fed
On crusts in the gloom and no warm, ,downy
bed
Was left for the weary ones resting on straw;
His heart was too cold for sweet Pity to
thaw.
The angel looked sadly about him and said ::
"This wealth is all blood-money; bloody and
red"

Stood 'mong the pure china so pearly and

And Cuba's best sugar; how fragrant the

sweet
As solomon tasted in glory complete.
But still spoke the angel in warning and
said:
""Tis all bought with blood-money, bloody
and red!"
The pie was of mince, rich with sweets from
the isles,
The spices Malacca had nourished with
smiles.
The hot rolls were tender, the butter like
gold;
But still spoke the angel in whispers so bold
The table Is cursud all, most bltterl!

And thought of his customers Jolly and fair
Whose nerves were Still frm, who could pou

He thought when his Golfers with treasure
were deep,
His joy would be greater, and sweeter hi

And little he reckoned of The horror to com,
