ETIQUETTE WITH VARIATIONS,
Funny Little Tricks Ruled Out Of Order
at the Table.

Whistling between courses is not al
lowable.
No well bread person will eat cayenne
pepper with spoon.
It is not the proper caper to take you,
pet mastiff out to dine with you.
Never ask your hostess for "the
check' at the conclusion of dinner.
It is not dc rigueur to want more
than three napkins in the course Of a
single meal.
If fruit is served do not offer your ap.
pie cores to the waiter Oh throw your
banana skin on the floor.
Pie is no longer fashionable in soci-
ETY.. No member of the charmed circle
ever thinks of substituting pie for fish.
Do not ask for more than five plates
of soup, no matter what your politics
may be or what kind of soup is served.
Keep your food on the table. 1t is
not de rigueur to drop coast beef, OF, in
deed, any other edible on your hostess
carpet.
No matter how many corns may ache
you are not justified in slipping off your
rumps under the table during the pre-
gress Of the meal.
Thick soups are yery common. 1t
must be remembered that it is yulger to
attempt to cut your soup with a knife,
no matter how thick it may be.
Avoid personalities, and do not per-
petrate 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 real home made dinner, do not ad-
wise him to try Browne, the caterer, if
you wish to remain a friend of his
wite's.
If you 40 not happen to care Cor the
game course Let it go, and under cir
cumstances take your portion and wrap
it up in paper for consumption later on.
Givers of dinners should avoid prac-
tical Jokes. such old-time customs as
putting hairpins in the soup and sweep
ing machine oil in the salads have gone
out of date entirely.
1t is not proper to throw olives at the
waiter in order to attract his attention,
norris it at all proper to tinkle your Wine
glass with your knife for the same pnr-
pose.
Do not put your hosts silver in your
pocket. He may have hired il for the
occasion, and such thoughtless behavior
on your part might tend to embarass
him.
Avoid politics at dinner. If you are
drawn into the heated de-
bate 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 friends.
Ills wife may have prepared 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-diDner speak
er 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 filth for
these objects
II the host tells you that the soup is
called cream d'artols take her word for
it. Ii may seem like pea soup, and it
will be pea soup, but some
people like their soup better in French
than in English. and you must remem-
Der that every man is entitled to his
own taste

Is MARRIAGE A FAILURE?

Is marriage failure? Well, some people see
It isn't the finn it is cracked up to be,
And others, who've tried it for all it is worth,
Proclaim it little tin heaven on earth.
For old maids of vinegar, NORWOOD and gall,
For s,litors rejected, for bachelors all

Pretend to feel sorry for us in the soup.
Take the case Of {. mon who widow has wed.
And scoops in the garments the FIRST husband

And seventeen children. That marriage, we
guess,
Is-for the sweet widow 81 blooming success.
But the man who is always presented with twins,
The heiress barber count foreigner wins,
The Mormon with eighty-one moihers-jn-law
Must and somewhere iii it q terrible flaw.
Take the ten-dollar dude of runaway match,
Forgiven and under the pa-i1l-aw's thatch,
And living in clover. AS far as he knows
1t lent the failure some people suppose.
And, driven to suicide. makes her his mash.
And WEEDS her, becoming hash-mil- iouaire,
In case It's failure, he isn't aware.
For widower old with a baby that cries,
Aud seven small children aud grown daughters
wise,
Who marries gici-1vife in love with his purse
It's always a iailure--and often is worse.
Is marriage failnro? 1t can't be, of course,
When you in Chicago can buy divorce;
Nor is it for husbands who pick number two
At number ones funeral, as they NIL dc.
Like flies at the window is marriage, no doubt.
The ones on the inside all want to get out,
The outside ones want to get into the SHARE
None seeing the pane-.thoueb the pain ia all

Is marriage failure? Those in it to stay
Won't tell you. for fear you will gre them
away,
You'll have to find out for yourself all alone
Thea if it's failure. the fault is your own?

Large Figures.

The population of London has
grown from $50, 900 in 1903 to A, 500,-
900 at the present time. Surprising
that the recent rate of growth were
maintained, London might easily, in
the course Of another half century,
possess a population of over Z, 900, 900.
The six principal railway lines of the
metropolis carried annually over 200,-
000,0 900 people. The tramway COM
panies carried unitedly some 150, 000,-
900 more, and the two great bus COM
panies, the General Omnibus and the
Road Car companies, carried from
100000 to 100000 per annum
additional. The three agencies to-
gether, therefore, carried annually
some 100000, 900 to 100000 pas
sengers, being nearly twelve times the
present population of the United
Kingdom. There were besides II, 300
cabs, which carried, roughly, some
30,000,000 passengers per annum,
100, 600, 900 to 120, 600, 900 more travelled
daily to and from the suburbs by every
railway that has terminal station in
London, bringing up the total num-
bers carried annually, into and out of
London, to between 100000, 600 and

Cause and En,ecs.

Many things which seem mysteri-

men, might be, if the cause and effect
were understood, as easy of solution
as the question in the following in
cident, which is related of Button, the
great naturalist. One day he enter
tanned q company of distinguished
savants at dinner, at the conclusion
of which they all went out into the
garden.
1t was a very hot summers day.
In the center of the grounds there
stood on pedestal large glass globe,
which one OF the guests happened to
touch with his hand. when he found,
to his establishment, that it was warm
er on the shady side than on the side
turned toward the sun.
He communicated this discovery to
the other guests, who at once proceed
ed to verify the statement What
could be the causel
An animated discussion ensued, in
the course of which every imaginable
law of physics was made to account
for the strange paradox. AT length
our scientists agreed that it must be
SO, owing to the laws of reflection, re-
palsion or exhalation, or some other
law of physics with long name.
The host was, however, not quite
convinced, and, calling the gardener,
he said to him: pray tell us why the
globe is warmer on the shady side
than on the side turned to the sum-"

And the sound of their voices. so bell like and

When the bright tinted picture swung nearer to

And I saw, through the tears that welled up to my

An Old steamhoater,s Story.

Speaking of remarkable incidents, ]
can tell you one that / have never seen
equaled, although it occurred more
than half a century ago. The steam
boat Charleston was on trip from
Louisville to St. Louis with big car
go of salt in barrels. When just be-
low Grand Tower, on the Mississippi,
she came in contact with hidden OBJ
struction. While they were prepar-
ing to put her aloat again, after being
at the bottom of the river day and
night, she popped up with surprising
suddenness with her deck to the top
of the water. The salt in the barrels
stored on her melted when it came in
contact with the water, and the buoy
ancy of the barrels raised the boat TO
the surface.-St Louis Globe-Demo-

His Pipe.

In former times, when society ig-
nored the natural and affected the ar
tificial, pastoral poets and painters de-
picted such graceful, gayly dressed
shepherds and shepherdesses as were
never seen save in the Arcadia of
dreamland. The craze" attained
its climax when the unfortunate
queen of France impersonated a
dairy maid, and her husband,
Louis XVI acted the part of
a miller The absurdity of the fad" is
illustrated by humorous sketch,
quoted in STRAY Leaves of Litera-
ture."
A London damsel whose ideas had
been Arcadianized by the perusal of
pastoralS, wandered into the fields in
the hope of discovering a live 'shep-
herd"
To her delight, she encountered one
under hawthorn hedge, with his dog
by his side and his crook in his hand
and his sheep round about him, just as
if he were sitting to be modelled in
china for chimney ornament.
But our swain wanted the indispen-
sable accompaniment Of q pastoral
reed, in order that he might beguile
his solitude with the charms of music.
Touched with pity at this privation,
and lapsing unconsciously into poeti-
cal language, the city damsel ex-
claimed
