The Latest Table Etiquette.

Fashion Is tickle thing. 1t veers
around to all points of the social
compass like the wind. 1t changes
oftener than the weather, and is less
stable than the average professional
politician. Only very short time
ago it was regarded as gross breach
of table etiquette, and sure sign of
i'll breeding to use ones fingers ln-
stead of knives and forks IN handling
food at the table. All that is chang
ed, and it is now fashionable to use
ones fingers quite freely at the table.
For the benefit of those who desire
to be IN style in this particular we
publish below list of articles that
may be eaten with the fingers:
"OlIves, to which a fork should
never be applied.
"Asparagus, whether hot or cold.
when served whole, as they should
be.
Lettuce, which should be dipped
in the dressing or in little salad.
celery, which may properly be
placed on the table cloth beside the
plate.
Strawberries, when served with
the stem on, as they usually are in
the most elegant houses.
"Bread, toast and all tarts and
small cakes.
"Fruits of all kinds, except mel
ons and preserves, which are eater
with spoon.
"Cheese, which is almost invaria
bly, eaten with the fingers by th'
most particular people.

A Neat Little Arrangement.

The following editorial very much
to the point, appeared in Mondays
Post Dispatch: The Francis. dele
gate boom is arranged to start from
Fayetse on the 18th with all the
prestige of grand old Howard coun-
ty's endorsement. The county COM
mittee. ignoring the methods recon-
mended by the state committee, has
call a mass-meetiDg at the county
seat on that date to elect delegates
to all of the Democratic state con-
ventions. This puts the selections
mainly in the hands of the one town
ship of Howard, in which the Fran
els boom has been most carefully
nursed. The Francis and Perry
family connections can induce good
many voters to ride in many miles
from the distant townships, while
the great mass of voters prefer to
stay at home IN the busy time of
getting ready for complaining.
City politicians can devise some neat
little arrangements for producing
results in rural politics. GtdSgoto

The Difference.

The Missouri Republican says the
late legislature of Illinois increased
the state tax rate to SO cents on the
800, while Missouri's state tax rate
is only 40 cents on the 500, and
has a public debt of So, 900, 900 while
Illinois has no public debt. The
taxable valuation of Illinois is $780,
600, 900 while that of Missouri is
$3.50 100000. One half of the state
tax of Missouri goes to pay her
debts, leaving about 81 800, 900, up
on which the whole machinery of the
state government is run, including
the maintenance of her own eleemos-
ynary and educational institutions.
1915 900 of this amount goes to her
public schools. While Missouri takes
from her people for all state pur-
poses, except debt, only 20 cents On
the S100, or 81 500, 900 year, IIli-
nois takes 53 cents on the 500 or
4,24O, 900, and has In addition sew
eTal hundred thousand dollars paid
annually by the Illinois Central Rail-
road company.
We inquire why this difference IN
the state expenditures? We know
rot, unless it is that Missouri IS run
on the Democratic idea, taxation
for needed revenue" while Illinois
taxes for surplus and squanders the
surplus. The state tax has grown
in Illinois from 1880 when it was &c
cents on the 500 to AZ cents in 1885
and to SO cents III 1888, while In
Missouri it has declined from "a
cents to 40 cents. We think change
In Illinois from their long extrava-
CANT Republican rule to the Demo
cratic idea would be of immense
value to the people of that state.
We need not be surprised if IN the
near future The people there shall
reach the same conclusion, and agaiI
fall into the Democratic ranks.
