here he began to peel his coat. All

the one time, but warned him
against letting himself loose that
way again.

USE OF THE kNIFE.-San FRAN
cisco is having an animated as
cussion over the point OF etiquette
which interdIcts eating with a knife
AT table. One would Imagine that
the question had been definitely
settled against the practice years
ago.
No one who has the remotest pre-
.entions of being considered CIV
lied ever thinks of eating with
knife. There are plenty OF foolish
uersons who know that 1T Is
breech of good breeding to eat with
a knife, vet they continue to do 1t
in order to acquire reputation Tor
independence. A man might sit in
front OF lady with his hat on and
puff tobacco smoke in her face with
an idea of being independent, but
he would not be independent 81
somebody's boot if he continued
the practice.
When one sees whole columns OF
San Francisco papers given over to
serious discussion of question
so well settled as that of not eating
with a knife at the table, the sus-
picion is excusable that perhaps
after all San Francisco has not
heard of the latest ideas Of civilized
society on the practice of knife
swallowing at dinner.

A LITTLE JOKER. = The San
Francisco Chronicle has just dis
covered that the alleged test OF the
CITY Hall artesian well was fraud
instigated by the Spring Valley
Water Co. The ar,esian wells sunk
in San Francisco yield from Is 900
to so 900 an hour but the Spring
Valley Water Company are trying
to suppress the facts IN the case.
1t will not be long before artesian
wells in San Francisco will drive
the Spring Valley Water Company
odt of existance, as the water is
absolutely pure and contains no
animal life. In Denver, Colorado,
the discovery of artesian wafer
bankrupted the water company In
one year. The pretended test OF
the Citv Hal well in San Fran
cisco was a faced fraud in the
interest OF the Spring Valley Com
pany.

It needs but a spark among hay or

to remember. Horses are frightened

The following conclusions may be

well-conceived series of potato expert
ments:
1. Little or nothing was gained by
using cut potatoes for seed. over whole
tubers of the same weight
2. Seed tubers badly sprouted yielded
about eight and a half per cent less
than unsprouted ones
g. The earliness of the crop was not
Influenced by exposing the tubers to

5. Fertilizer placed below the seed
may be slightly preferable to fertilizer

NO Wood That I8 Liable to Damp SAFE nom

Prof Bidlake, Rhode Island. reports
as follows on dry rot in lumber: No
wood which is liable to damp. or has
at any time absorbed moisture and is
in contact with stagnant air, so that
the moisture can not evaporate. can
be considered safe from the attacks of

applied to wood which is not thor

tition, the water expelled from the dado
in setting and absorbed by the wood
had no means of evaporation. Wood
work coated with a paint or tar before
thoroughly dry and well seasoned is
liable to decay, as the moisture is i'm
prisoned. Skirtings and wall paneling
are very subject to dry rot. and es-
pecially window backs, for the space
between the woodwork and the wall
is occupied by stagnant air; the former
absorbs moisture from the wall, espe-
cially if it has been fixed before the
wall was dry after building. and the
paint or varnish prevents the moisture
from evaporating into the room.
Skirtings thus form excellent channels
for the spread of the fungus. Plaster
seems to be sufficiently porous to allow
the evaporation of water through it;
hence probably the space between cell
ing and floor is not SO frequently at

fit very accurately and no oilcloth
covers the floor. Flowed and tongued
floors are disadvantageous in certain
circumstances. as when placed over q
space occupied by damp air, a they
allow no air to pass between the
boards. and SO dry them Beams

be rotten within. for the outside

Pliny the Elder wrote of it, and de-
scribed it most fully. In his day it
was called ''the dance of Gades''
(Cadiz), because it had been brought
to great perfection in that city on the
Atlantic; but he says it was imported
into Gades by the Greeks. who. you
remember. had large settlements
around the whole of the Mediterranean
shores. and far up the Atlantic coast
in Hispania and Lusitania- The
