as fascinating a novel as has been writ

is both encouraging to native novelists.

surely prefer an American book to a
foreign one, especially if the prices are
the same.

THE TABLE NAPKIN.
Bow It's Careless Use Mnrred tho Car,
Of a Grent French Critic

Row It's Careless Use Iarred tho Career
of u Great French Critic.
..'he law Of the napkin is but vaguely
understood. One of our esteemed
metropolitan contemporaries informs
an eager inquirer that it is bad form to
fold the napkin after dinner; that the
proper thing is to throw it with negli-
gent disregard on the table beside the
plate, as to fold it would be reflection
on the host, and imply familiarity
that would not befit an invited guest.
But the thoughtful reader will agree
with us that this studied disorder is
likely to be a good deal more trying to
fastidious hostess than an unstudied
replacing of the napkin in good order
beside the visitors plate. The proper
thing is to fold the fabric with un-
ostentatious care, and lay it on the left of
the plate, far from the liquids, tea and
coffee. and thus testify to the hostess
that her care in preparing the table has
been appreciated. The napkin has
played famous parts in the fortunes of
men and women, 1t was one of the points
admired in Marie Stuart that. thanks
to her exquisite breeding in the court
of Marie de Medici, her table was more
imposing than the full court of her
great rival and executioner, Elizabeth.
At the table of the latter the rudest
forms were maintained, the dishes were
served on the table, and the great
Queen helped herself to the platter
without fork or spoon, Il page standing
behind her with silver ever to bathe
her fingers when the desh had been
torn from the roasts. At the court of
the empire, Eugenie was excessively
fastidiOus. The use OF napkin and
the manner o. eating an egg made or
ruined the career of gues. The great
critic, Saint Beuve, was disgraced and
left of the visiting list because at u
breakfast with the Emperor end EN-
press ut the Tuilleries he carelessly
opened his napkin and spread 1t over
his knees and out his egg in two in the
middle. The court etiquette prescribed
that the half-folded napkin should lie
ON the left knee to be used in the least
obtrusive manner in touching the lips,
and the egg was to be merely brokon
on the larger end with the edge of the
spoon and drained with its tip.--House.

iously Haunting. This does not reflect on
their originality and ingenuity. Take
for instance Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
She is a fair representation of the class
of which write; is pretty, courteous
and charitable to u fault, and though
gifted with great deal of social acumen
and lore, still her manner and style Of
dress is as unbecoming as it is gro
tesque. Not that she is adverse to ap-
pearing to her best advantage in pub

that to attain this end is the all-absorb-
ing ambition of her life. But it either
arises in each instance from unique
and perhaps circumspect opinion, or
the product of an abnormal brain, in
turn the victim of genius, the noblest
of natures laws; forit has been asserted
by eminent medical experts that pro-
ductions from the pen of female pos
sessed of real genius are not and can
not be the outcome of a healthy brain.
The homes of many Of our literary
women strongly point in favor of this
assumption; but when the question of
prevailing style most in usage is con.
sidered it will be found that our literary
female friends are far below the average
shop girl, and many beneath the plume
of others in humber spheres of life. A
wonderful inconsistency, isn't itP--

"DOCTORING OLD TIME"
A Striking Picture-A Revival of Old Time
Simplicities.

A Striking Picture-A Revival of Old Time
Smplicities.
In one of Harpers issues is given very
fine illustration of Roberts celebrated
painting, known as "Doctoring Cid Time"
It represents typical old-tmer, with his
bellows blowing the dust from an ancient
clock, with its cords and weights carefully
secured. One of these clocks in this gen.
Grafton is appreciated only as rare relic.
The suggestive name, Doctoring Old
Time" brings to our mind another version
of the title, used for another purpose
"Old Time Doctoring."
We learn, through reliable source, that
one of the enterprising proprietary medi-
cine firms of the country, has been for
years investigating the formulas and medi-
cal preparations used in the beginning of
this century, and even before, with view
of ascertaining why people in our great
grandfathers' time enjoyed health and
physical vigor so seldom found IN the pres
ent generation. They now think they
have secured the secret or secrets. They
find that the prevailing opinion that then
existed, that mature has remedy for
every existing disorder,' was true, and
acting under this belief, our grandparents
used the common herbs and plants Con-
tinual trespass upon the forest domain, has
made these herbs less abundant and has
driven them further from civilization, un-
| til they have been discarded, as remedial
agents because Of the difficulty of obtaining
| them.
H. H. Warner, proprietor of Warmers
safe cure and founder of the Warner OBJ
servatory, Rochester, N. Y, has been press
ing investigations IN this direction, into the
annals of old family histories, until he has
secured some very valuable formulas, from
which his firm is now preparing medicines,
TO be sold by all druggists.
They will, we learn, be known under the
general title of "Warner's log Cabin rem
edies." Among these medicines will be a
"sarsaparilla," for the blood and liver,
Log Cabin hops and buchu remedy" for
the stomach, etc, "Log Cabin cough and
consumption remedy" "Log Cabin hair
tonic" Log Cabin extract" for internal
and external use, and an old valuable dis
covery for catarrh, called Z" Log Cabin rose
cream" Among the list is also a "Log
Cabin plaster" and "Log Cabin liver
pill"
From the number of remedies, it will be
seen that they do not propose to cure all
diseases with one preparation. 1t is be-
lieved by many that with these remedies
new era is to dawn upon suffering human
lty and that the close OF the nineteenth
century will see these roots and herbs, as
compounded under the title Of Warmers
Log Cabin remedies, as popular us they
were at its beginning. Although they
come in tho form of proprietary medi-
cines, yet they will be none the less well
come, for suffering humanity has become
tired of modern doctoring and the public
has great confidence in any remedies put up
by the firm of which H. II. Warner is the
head. The people have become suspicious

lynx--a yellowish white fur, with ir-

Styles in the high-priced sealslsin
garments change but little. The long
Newmarket, with rolling collar, close
sleeves, and fastened to the knee in
front will be fully as fashionable us it
was last year. Elegant ones show fac
Ing of seal down each side OF the front,
giving them when thrown open the ap-
pearance of being lined throughout
with that material. Many women find
these long garments too heavy for
walking, and prefer the more moderate
sacque that 10 anywhere from thirty

to the figure, and have deep rolling
collar that covers the ear-tips when

eighteen-inch sealskin jacket last year
may weep and wall. She has good
reason. for, to use commercial
phrase, she is "short on sealslin. :"
Anywhere from six to eight inches
short, and the urbane furrier will
frankly tell her that there is but one
way of supplying the deficit. It's ex-
pensive, but it's sure. Get. an entire
new coat. Trimming of different fur
tolengthen it is entirely passe, and to
piece it down with sealskin is an inn
possibility, for the line of joining
will show. One satisfaction remains,
however, If one can not afford to be off
with the ''old love and on with the
new," and that is to snip away the ex-
ira two inches in front, evening up the
jacket all around, and convert the bell
shaped sleeve into q tight coat-sleeve
devoid of even the plainest of cuffs.
No fastenings OF any kind are visible
on any OF the sealskin garments, ele-
CANT simplicity being the effect gener-
ally sought after. "a word to the wise
is sufficient" ard although prices OF
sealskin show no advance upon those
of last season, the timely shopper may
buy to advantage before the frosts
make such purchase seem desirable.

A DoMEsTlcATED DOE.
The Rare Pet Reared by n Pennsylvania
Farmers Family.


Ayro Tipple, a farmer living near
Scranton. Pa, has tame doe that was
caught in spring brook forest when
she was a very young fawn. Her name
is Kate, and she is as tame as kitten.
She scampers with the sheep and lambs
when she feels like it; grazes with the
cattle, runs about the yard, and has
the freedom of the farm generally.
Whenever she gets lonesome or be-
comes tired of associating with the
other animals on the farm she marches
right into the house and silently, yet
understandingly. coaxes members of
the family to notice and pet her. If any
of the folks speak cross to her, and tell
her to clear out, she instantly leaves
| the room with the air of an injured
| innocent, but she will return at once if
a kind word is spoken to her, and al
low her handsome head to be rubbed
and her sleek hide to be stroked. Kate
is very sensitive, for she has been
tenderly reared, and a harsh, unkind
word seems to hurt her feelings as much
as violent slap on the cheek. She is
never treated in this way except when
some member of Mr.. Tipple's family
desires to show the visitor how sensi-
tive handsome Kate is, but she has
never been spoiled, and she is as kind
and obedient now as she was when she
was a pretty fawn five years ago.
During the summer and fall Kate
rambles far enough into the forest to
find companions of her own genus, but
she never remains with them for more
than day or two at time. Until two
years ago she had not stayed away over
night, but she did not put in an appear
ance one stormy night in June and the
family imagined that she had gone
away for good. In the afternoon of
of the following day, however, Kate
came cantering down the slope back of
the farm buildings, dashed into the
yard, trotted into the kitchen and acted
as if she was delighted to see Mr.. and
Mrs. Tpple and all Of the children.
She makes frequent visits to the woods,
and once last summer when she ran
down the glade into the clearing at the
top of the hill three gallant bucks were
following her. They came no further
than the edge of the woods, disappear
ing into the forest when they saw that
Kate was bent on returning to her
human protectors. At another time
two bucks were seen with her when
she left the woods. Kate has twice
given birth to single fawn, and last
year she had pair of twins Chicayo
