The dinners were conducted on primitive
principles Except in great houses, where
The meat and game were carved by the but
Ter, everything was carved on the table. Tho
hoe sat behind the hauuch Of mutton aud
b4lped with zeal; the guests took the ducks,
iae turkey, the hare and the fowls, and did
their parts, conscious Of critical eyes. A
dinner was terrible ordeal for young man
who, perhaps, found himself called to diSsect
a pair of ducks He took up the knife with
burning cheeks and perspiring nose; now, at
last an impostor, one who knew not the ways
of polite society, would be discovered; he be

Of his hostess gazed reprOachfully upon him
Indies in those days knew good carving,
and could carve for themselves. Perhaps he
had, with ghastly grin, to confess that he
could not find thoss joints
Then the dish was removed and given 10
another guest, horribly self reliant creature,
who laughed and talked while hedexterously
sliced the breast and cut of tho legs. If, in
his agony, tho poor wretch would take refuge
in the bottle, he had to wait until some one
invited him to take wine-horTible tyranny
The dinner table was ornamented with {

A oulet rich Mans Success.

In answer to a query as to the secret OF his
success, one of Chicago's quietest rich men
said to me the other day: "How did get
richl Pll tell you; It was by beginning
right" "And how was thatp "Simply by
saving" Then, in moment Of confidence
unusual in him, he continued: why, when
my wife and began life together we always
managed to save portion OF my earnings,
however small they may have been, and
they were very small at first l would
never in those days-and don't now-pat-
onize 50 much as a fruit cart in the
way of small expenditures. just
would not waste money on sweets and
nonsensical things, to say nothing Of tobacco
or drinks Of any kind And yet Ialways had
good food three times a day for meals II
was tho little useless things that dyspeptic
Graves at all hours of the day that l saved on.
Having learned to control my little desires in
this way, mastered others Of more import
which rob so many men Of their opportuni-
tics and means, and It wasn't long till had a
little money for nvestment-loaned a little
at interest, carefully bought small bit of
real estate, soon owned a small house or two
to rent, made other careful Investments as
they commended themselves to my coolest
Judgment, and-well, the result is that after
while things just ran themselves steadily
along till found that, among all who started
in life with me, l alone had reached success.

rso OF Electric Motors.

The use Of electric motors as substitute
for the steam engine is rapidly increasing.
In cities which are provided with an electric
lightning plant, the dynamos can be used
during the day to furnish a current for oper-
ating motors in workshops and small factor
les at a less expense than that of a steam en-
CINE. In an adjoining city large printing

less expensive than the coal, water and en-

In addition, it is always ready for work,
night and day, and can be started up at any
time to fill an urgent or unexpected order
While the steam engine would he moro
economical for heavy work or large manu-

A dispatch from Vincennes, Ind, says;

Some twenty years ago the farm was owned
by f.. NJ. Fer. who had an extensive orchard.
The apple crop was large, and he made sew
eral hundred barrels OF cider, to be con-
verted into vinegar. While the fluid was
fermenting, about one hundred barrels burst
