The Centennial Exhibition ELECTED the
fact that American watches were superior
to those from other nations; not excepting
the world-renowned Swiss watches, which
for cheapness and durability have been
noted from time immemOrial; but unless
cleaned once year the best watch will not
last half it's days. How much more neces-
sary to attend to the delicate machinery of
the human frame. Everybody, old and

The Queen of Fashion

Who is responsible for that mysterious
movement called a change of fashion.
Since the downfall of Eugene it cannot
be said that any royal OF imperial
lady is looked upon as the source
whence springs that flow of costly
cOnceit through whose influence the
dress of women all over the civ
vilized world is varied, says Dress.
Queen Margaret, of Italy, the
Princess of Wales, the Empress of
Austria, are each respectively men
toned as being the best dressed lady
in the world; but the influence of any
one OF them is limited to her own court
circle, and does not affect the wear of
any great number Of women.
1t is OH the stage that fashions are
first tried, and costumes that are adj
mired by the crowds of women who
flock to see theatrical performances are
those that form the styles. The news
papers offer gratuitouS advertising of
the most valuable character to gown
makers Of standing who supply cos
tunes to leading actresses. A Mrs.
Nettleship, of London, has become a
celebrity through her dreSSmaker work
done for Ellen Terry. LafeIriere and
Felix are Sara Bernhardt's favorite
dressmakers. But the most originally
cOStumed actress on either the Paris or
London stage is Mrs. Bernard Beere,
who, it is said, designs all her own
dresses. which are quite in the motif
of those Of Mrs. Jenness Miller, being
esthetic draperies over gown form,
under which neither stays nor hustle
SteelS are worn.

Newspaper men in Germany have to
be very careful about punctuation. The

The experiment of giving half-penny
dinners at the Birmingham schools has
been so successful that farthing dinners

Two hundred and twelve thousand

at cost of less than 39-1O0 of penny.
The attendance at the schools has been
greatly increased. and the good effect
upon the temper of the children has been
astonishing.

Hyenas, CrOcOdiles and Big
Snakes Taught to Travel Ahead

New York Telegram
The latest scheme in managerial en-
terprise is Herr Mansard's plan to civ
ilize wild animals and train them to
travel alone. He has met with remark
able success.
1t will be remembered that Herr Man
sard recently bought a Baptist church
at auction. The buildin is now used
for his training school. In the short
space OF four weeks he has taught nine
tigers and six hyenas to obey him like
trained dogs. His system seems to be
the only correct method known.
lie will save travelling shows thou
sands of dollars in expense every ear.
His plan is to train wild beasts so per-
fectly that they will obey every COM
mand. He will do away with transpor-
tatlOn entirely. Instead of paying Mr..
DepeW s., 900 for transporting wild beasts
through the state of New York, he will
muzzle the animals and order them to
meet him at the place where the show
is to be held.
AS an eXperiement he muuzled six
of his fiercest lions and lot of tigers
the other night and turned them loose,
with orders to meet the train at Syracuse
OH the following morning.
He had previously let them smell the
map on which Syracuse was Smeared
with raw beef. The beasts shifted the
blood and started at wild gallOp for
Syracuse.
The section agent there said they
reached the depot two hours before day
light and hOWled for the train. The eX-
periement has proved success. Tele-
grams from along the route say that the
animals went through the towns like a
cyclone, and did not make a single stop.
Everybody gave them wide berth, and
was glad to escape alive, never dream
ing that the fierce beasts were travel
ing by special orders from the show.
Each animal wore placard in boldly
printed characters
admit one. This animal is not to be
shot; by order of Herr Mansard, train
err
A further experiment was made two
days ago, 1t was even more successful.
Several wild beasts, couple of ZebraS,
two panthers, six Demonstrators, two
jackals, and Ceylon crocodile were
heavily blauketed and ordered to meet
the show at Meadville. They bounded
away at wonderful speed, but got in a
little late, owing to terrible fight at
Elmira with a rival menagerie. The
crocodile had piece of his tail chopped
Off by brakeman, and one of the tigers
had his ears badly chewed up. Other
wise the animals were in good condition
and eager for exhibition. The new
system will revoluti0nize the show bust

during the sixteenth century, and from
that time on society began to lose many
of its primitive ways, and became, in a
sense, more refined.
Henry VIII. was born with luxurious
tastes; he had his banquet chairs sup
piled with velvet cushions and about
this time the parlor or talking ROOM"
as it was called, was introduced; and
here the danes took refuge when the
dinner advanced beyond prudent limits,
as it invariably did before the finish.
The cook that presided over the
Kitchen in those days was not the cOun-
terpart of our nineteenth century
Bridget, but he was an artist, and gen
orally a man of quality. The ladies of
the household, even those Of noble
birth, attended to many domestic duties,
making the bread, preserving the fruits,
while to understand the proper use of
starch was considered a great accom-
pliShment,

KNIVES AND FORKS SCARCE
Some Curious Table Manners OF
the Good Old DAYS.

the GOCO Ola Days.
Tillie May Forney, in the last num-
Der OF Woman, says of the evolution of
eating:
1t was late in the fourteenth century
when the first evidences of art in the
shape of silver cups were noticeable on
the buffet. The dishes were made of
pewter OF wood, and spoons of bone,
wood Oh silver. Knives were rare,
feasts carried their own knives. Forks
came in general use still later, and for
long years after their introduction they
were considered ridiculous affectation
and foppery, and not nearly so conven-
lent as ones own fingers. The lord and
his lady dipped their fingers into the
same plate and slipped their wine from
the same cup. Even the queenly Eliza
beth, with all her elaborate ideas of ETH
quet, was content to carry her food to
her mouth with her fingers, and at first
desplsed the newly invented fork as un-
Seemly and awkward.
Very gradually the dining hall grew
in comfort and splendor. Dishes of gold
and silver were made, and so eager were
the mobiles for them that they would
sacrifice anything to possess them. The
salt cellar was for long time the arti-
Gle of highest Importance on the board.
1t was great affair, and stood directly
in the center of the table; it was the di-
viding line; the mobiles were seated
above the salt, the commoners below:
hence grew the proverb, "Below the
salt" The passing of salt was cere-
monious custom, the guest throwing a
pinch over his left shoulder and muir
muring blessing.
Inc salt cellars were of the most curl
GUS aeVlcee1. Sometimes they repre-
sehi~.,.t huge animals, sometimes a great,
, IuIl-blown flower OH a long, slender
stem, and again they were in the shape
of chariot, mounted on four wheels,
on which they were easily run down the
table.

q DEATHLESS.

There lies in the center of each mans heart
A longing and love for the good and pure,
Aud if but an atom, or larger part.
l tell you this shall endure, endure,
After the body has gone to decay
Yea, after the world has passed away.
The longer live and the more see
Of the struggle Of souls toward heights
above,
The stronger this truth comes home to me,
That the universe rests on the shoulders OF
Love
A love so limitless, deep and broad
That men have renamed it and called it God
And nothing that ever was born or evolved,
Nothing created by light or force,
But deep in its system there lies dissolved
A shining drop from the great Love
Source
shining drop that shall live for aye,
Tho Kingdoms may perish and stars may die.
