Generosity Not His Failing.

The guests at a recent marriage least
in this vicinity were disappointed. Dur
ing the evening the guests We're each
presented with a small paper bag filed
with peanuts and d few pieces of candy,
and at a later hour the bridegroom an
nounced that supper would be served at
the hotel. So far gil was satisfactory.
The surprise came when each guest was
asked by the waiter to foot the bill for
his supper. And the newly married in
diyidual, in.whose honor the feast was
spread, is said Ia be worth $4,000.
Could it be that the wedding presents
didn't turn out as he expected.-Houl-

What May BE Eaten with Fingers.

There are a number of things that the
most fashionable and well-bred people
now eat at the dinner table with their
fingers. They are:
Olives, to which a fork should never
be applied.
Asparagus, whether hot or cold, when
served whole, as it should be.
Lettuce, which should be dipped in
the dressing or a little salt.
Celery, which may properly be placed
on the table-cloth beside the plate.
Strawberries, when served with thu
stem on, as they usually are in the most
elegant houses.
Bread, toast, and all tarts and small
cakes.
Fruits of all kinds, except melons and
preserves, which are eaten with a spoon.
Cheese, which is almost invariably
eaten with the fingers by the most par
ticular people.
Either the leg or other small piece Of
a bird is taken in the fingers at fashions
able dinners, and at most of the lunch-
cons ladies pick small pieces of chicken
without using a fork .-Chicago Herald.

printed numbers corresponding to those
on the cards. The duck is revolved
rapidly two or three times, then the
nozzle is caught and opened and a ball
extracted. the roller calls the number
on the ball, and each player places a
market on the card over hat number.
This is continued until some player
has five counters in a row, which corsti-
tutes him a winner, and he receives all
the money paid for. cards less the per
centage of the roller. These pots aver

Tom Corwin and the Tariff,

The Hon. Kelly strangely resem-
sembles Daniel Webster-we mean
not in person, but in qualities. lie
has the same dignified solemnity of
manner, if anything superior How
of words, and Dy far more power
full voice. lie differs from the god
like Daniel in one little respect. lie
has not the great eXpounder's cap
acity to understand some things. The
striking resemblance of qualities
seem to terminate at the head. We
fear the Hon. Kelly will differ with us
ia this-and we may be mistaken; (;
but there is certainly difference b.
tween the Hon. Kelly and Daniel
Webster, but with this little differ
ence dear old Pigir is very Web
ster in the oratical utterances lie
does not think aloud on his legs-in-
deed, We are much mistaken if he
thinks atany time.
All this, however ought not TO be in
the way, if one of the late Tom Cor
wins epigrammatic sayings can be
relied on. Corwin was doomed once
to listen for two hours to an effort in
behalf of protective tariff. When
the orator ended, the late William
Green rushed at the then Governor
Corwin and shook him by the hand.
"a most admirable argument, Gov
ernor, doubt whether even you could
make a superior effort" "Billy," re-
sponded Corwip," l humbly confess
| could not. l console myself, how
ever, with the reflection that, so far
as the tariffs concerned, the bigger
the fool the better the argument

nsthetic sentiment, we could admire
his judgment instead of laughing, as
now, at his queer conceit. 1t is just
MS yellow, just as prolific, just as COM
plex in structure, and n thousand times

of slender girl, the sunaower to the

Pinned to the bosom OF fair woman's
Gown, the dandelion nestles there rs
though ut home, while the sunhower
suggests n shield, whose purpose is
defense, not ornament. And then the
dandelion grows old so gracefully. IL
covers its fading charms with mantle
of such filmy lace we hesitate to say

the pride of its young beauty or the
diving flower wrapped in its ethereal

THE HUMBLE DANDELlON.


A Neglected Flower Which Is Worthy
of n Better Fate.
The dandelion is a neglected flower.
1t blows and dies, returning
To the vile dust from whence It sprung, q
Unwept unhonored and unsung.
Yet it comes early, blossom freely, and
lifts so bright color to the sky that it
rivals the very sunshine that coaxed it
from the cold ground. Not the Cali
fornia poppy, the pride of the Pacific
coast, glows with moro brilliant
yellow, or shows more delicate grada-
tions Of color. The heart of the dande-
lion is warm and fervid like the rich
gold of n ripe orange, while the tips OF
each delicate calyx reflect the fainter
tints that shine on the tender leaf OF a
buttercup, and so perfect is the shad-
ing we can not tell when the orange
passes into yellow, and the yellow into
palest amber. -
What can be prettier than this
brave blossom set in the vivid green
of the new grassP II Oscar Wilde had
chosen the dandelion rather than tho
