Funny Little Tricks Ruled Out Of Order
at the Table.

allowable.
No well bred person will eat cay
enne pepper with spoon.
1t is not the proper caper to take
your pet mastiff out to dine with you.
Never ask your hostess for "the
check" at the conclusion of the din
ner.
- - 1t is not de rigueur to want more
than three napkins in the course OF
single meal.
If fruit is served, do not offer the
apple core to the waiter or throw
your banana skins on the floor.
Pie is no longer fashionable in So
ciety. No member of The charmed
circle ever thinks of substituting pie
for fish.
onot ask for more than five plates
of soup, no matter what your politics
may be, or what kind of soup may
be served.
Keep your food on the table. 1t
is not de rlgueur to drop roast beef,
or, indeed, any other edible on your
hostess ca.pet.
No matter how much your corns
may ache, you are not justified in
slipping OF your pumps under the
table during che progress of the meal.
Thick soups are very common. 1t
must be remembered that it is vulgar
to attempt to cut your soup with a
knife, no matter how thick it may be.
Avoid personalities, and do not
perpe rate the old joke of asking an
oyster patti to "sing Home, Sweet
Home in her own inimitable way"
for you.
Should your friend invite you home
to a real homemade dinner. do not
advise him to try Browne, the new
caterer, if you wish to remain friend
of his wifes.
If you do not happen to care for
the game course, let it go. and under
no circumstances take your portion
and wrap it up in paper for consump-
zion later on.
Givers of dinners should avoid
practical jokes. Such old-time Gus
toms as putting hairpins in the soup
and sewing machine oil in the salads
have gone out entirely.
1t is not proper to throw olives at
the waiter in order to attract his at
tention, nor is it at all polite to tin
kle your wineglass with your knife
for the same purpose.
Do not put your hosts silver in
your pocket. He may have hired it
for the occasion, and such thoughtless
behavior on your part might tend to
embarrass him.
Avoid politics at dinner. Ifyou
are unwillingly drawn into heated
debate, rather admit yourself in the
wrong than throw plate Of ice
cream at your adversary's wife.
Do not complain of the cooking
when you are dining at the house of
a friend. His wife may have prepar-
ed the meal, and you certainly could
have no wish to hurt her feelings.
AT public banquets it is considered
very witty to hit the after dinner
speakers in the back of the neck with
bread balls, cherry stones or Malaga
grapes, but under no circumstances
is it proper to substitute charlotte
russo or filet for these objects.
If your host tells you that the soup
is called creme d'artois, take his word
for it. 1t may seem like pea soup,
and it probably will be pea soup, but
some people like their soup better in
French than in English, and you
must remember that every man is
entitled to his own taste.

BIG MEN VS.. COMMON FOLK.

Your big man can't get ahead of
the folk in social matters,
try he ever so hard. When the big
ones i'm the earlier times resorted to
using the left hand thumb and fin-
ger to lit victuals to his mouth, the
little fellows soon followed him.
Sticks were then used, then knives
and forks, then "society" resorted
to using the fork exclusively. This
was difficult, but still " we got there
lust the same" we little ones. So
with all other customs, nearly.
Titles, such as Sir, Master and Esq.
could not long remain the sole'pos-
session of the rich. Even military
distinction and eminence, is seized
by the common fellow of the civil
service and he who saws your wood
generally may rejoice as a Colonel
or Captain. AS rapidly as the up
per ten get rid of old ways, no long
er exclusively theirs, ana nit on
new ones the lower millions are
close after them. Even the butcher
and baker in some parts use a kind
of livery for their servants. The
fellow who hires a second hand cart
requires that his driver shall have Il
plume in his hat and stripes on his
pants. 1t is the custom of kings and
emperors to announce engagements
oEthe heirs apparent and presump-
tive to other little princelings. Ha,
ha Did they expect to keep this to
themselves? We of the bond and
stock aristocracy announce the en-
engagement of our little heirs to
those of neighbor Vandergould and
Jaybilt. H" nr "'H o.

THE CRYING NEED OF THETIMEs.

Many papers are discussing the
cause of the comparative decline of
wealth among agriculturists since
1860. Prior to that year more than
half our people were farmers and
they owned mole than half the
wealth; and when they diminished
so as to be half the people they still
owned half the wealth. To-day the
farmers do not own the same propor-
ton Of property. AS this decline
was foreseen and predicted as the
inevitable effect ola cause that be-
gan to operate, why indulge in
speculations as to that cause? Why
say it is caused by ignorance when
so much has been dOue to enlighten ?
Extravaganza is the cause-a kind
of enforced extravaganza.
Let us give an instance or two.
1t COSTS to-day more for school books
twenty dollars to one. And yet the
old cabin school house turned out
about as good scholars as do the
splen did temples of to-day.
In old times postage cost some
twenty five cents per letter and a
family would receive not more than
half a dozen letters per year. The
same kind of family, to-day, will be
receiving several hundred letters in
the same time. A small affair this,
but it is peculiarly illustrative. Ia
the old time ifa farmers family
took n journey the team was hitch
ed up, food prepared and five days
jaunt would cost hardly two dollars.
Now, annually the trip is by rail 20
some grand exposition, one or more
hundred.milesaway. Fora mere hun
dred mile trip the cost will be, for an
ordinary family, not less than twen-
ty dollars fer railway fare. This for
one short tldp of one hundred miles,
whereas theprobability ia that there
will be several excursions at longer
distances. Last fall thousands of
poor families mortgagod their homes
or their teams to raise money enough
to carry them to Columbus, Ohio ! !
One trip only serves to create n
craving to go again us one visit leads
to innumerahle others. This is the
grand consumer and dissatisfier; and
unless our government will take
some means of providing for our
great masses, the women, the child
run and very poor men, for the
siX-sevenths 0fus, transportion as
cheap comparatively as is one cent
postage the case must rapidly grow
worse. 'Cheap transportation for
the Millions y has become the crying
need of our times. And as behind
cheap postage MAS concealed tire
mendous, far reaching consequences
such as cheap literature, the enor-
NOUS growth Of the,&aily press, the
iudnite frequency of communities
tioD, and all the wondrous results
of intellectual and social activity
thus stimulated, SO, behind this
question: aue concealed greater con-
sequences, By far, and such as eye
hath not seen nor the imagination
of man conceived. t.,.. .
