While Erastus Holland. of T,nla-

Professor Whitley. who has been ex-

sugar will bring about three cents a

A NEW SUM HMETIC,

A clerk in Texas store, says the
SiftingS man, informed his employer
that his sister was to be married, and he
wanted furlough of IS hours to attend
the wedding, which was to take place
out in the country. The merchant could
not well spare the services of the young
man for that length of time, but finally
consented to let him go on condition
that he would return promptly at the eX-
piration of the two days.
''As soon as my forty eight hours are
up I'll be back" said the young man,
hurrying off to catch the train. And
that was the last his employer saw of
him for six solid days, when he came in,
gripsack in hand and a beaming smile on
his face, remarking:
''Back on time"
'Back on time!" roared the exasper-
atep employer, $40 you call six days
forty-eight hOurs?"
"Of course | do. What else do you
call it?''
"Have you lost the use of your mental
faculties, or are you trying sir to take
unwarranted liberties with me?'

"Just so. And | work in the store

HOW TO SET A TABLE.

Learn first, says Delmonico in an
article in the November Ladies' Home
journal, how to set table. A round
table is better than a square table. if the
the dining-rOOm is large enough to per-
nit it. If not, then the ordinary OblOng
extension table mnst be used. The round
table is much more preferable and much
easier to seat people at, besides it gives
a suggestion of the famous King Arth-
III and the knights of the Round Table"
A few prominent society women still
cling to the old fashioned long, narrow
table. Mrs. Aston, for example, still
uses that kind of dining table in order
that her famous gold dinner set may be
placed to the best advantage. Mrs. Au-
gust Belmont, on the contrary, prefers
an oblong table, and the decorations for
an elaborate dinner are carried out to
make the shape more pronounced.
Flowers should never be absent from the
dinner table. No matter how hOmely.
they add to the picturesqueness of the
feast.
Let us see how a table is set for a
fashionable dinner party. On the table is
first placed n thick flannel cloth, the
thicker the better as it prevents noise of
the dishes as they are placed on it. Over
this is spread 5 Owy white damaSk
table cloth, bearing the family crest or
coat-of-arms. Sometimes over this is
placed still another, of elaborate en-
broidery and lace, lined with pink or
yellow satin, as taste dictates, or what
ever color is to predominant at the din
ner. The plates are first placed upon
the table. As these are to remain until
after soup is served, they are always the
handsomest in the gold or china sets, as
the case may be. Don't crowd. Each
guest should be allowed space of two
feet or twenty-siX inches, if the table
will admit of it, and the plates placed at
equal distances apart. Place two dinner
forks at the left of each plate; also, an
oyster fork with prOngs resting ON the
edge of the plate. On the right must be
a dinner knife and a spoon for soup.
The glasses are arranged at the right of
each guest on line with the inner edge
of the plate. The water glass is set
next to the plate. The glasses for what
ever other be ierages are intended to be
served. A glass, whether of water or
any other liquid, should never be filled
more than three quarters full.

THE QUAKER YIELDED

De Wolff Hopper in his younger days
was passionately fond of the theatre, but
owing to the religious scruples of his
Quaker father, and the Quaker costume
he wore, he was somewhat handicapped
in the fultilment of his desires.
But it appears that the family butler
wore citizens clothes, and also that he
was about the same build as De Wolff.
Accordingly, between them they concOct-
ed little scheme whereby De Wolff
donned the butler's clothes and the butler
dOnned De VOLTS. Things went swim
ingly with young Hopper until one fatal
night one of his fathers acquaintance
happened to spy him at the theatre and
remarked in casual way to the old gem
tleman that he had seen his son at the
play.
The father called the unfortunate youth
into his study and said: "Son, hast thee
been to the playhouse"
Yea, father"
How many times hast thee been to
the playhouse"
Seventy times, father"
Whom hast thee seen seventy times?'
Booth, father"
"And thou hast been seventy times to
see this man Booth?'
Yea, father"

A RELIC OF THE REVOLUTION.

The Vergeunes Vermonter says: The
Congress galley-the only existing battle
ship, we believe, of the war for indie
pendence, except her cOnsort, the Royal
Savage, which lies sunk at Valcour
Island-has been hauled out by William
Adams after having repOsed quietly in
the waters of ArnOld's bay, on the east
err shore of Lake Champlain, lis years,
and her bones are now bleaching on the
shores which she has rendered historic.
She was Gen. Benedict Arnold's flag
ship in the severe naval battle near Val
cOuT Island, October 18th, 1776, between
the American and British fleets. Dur
ing the night of the 18th, the Royal Saw
age having been lost and the British
fleet being nearly double that of the
Americans, the latter retreated up the
lake, but was overtaken by the British
on the 18th near Otter Creek and hot
engagement followed, of which the
Washington and Congress, which were
in the rear, stood the brunt. The Wash
ington, commanded by Gen. Waterbury,
was captured and the Congress and four
gondolas were run into what has since
been known as ArnOld's bay, and blown
up. 1t seems singular that, although
Arnold fought his vessel until she
grounded, only two of her armament of
u guns have ever been recovered, and it
is hoped that others may now be found
in or beneath the wreck.

rsE WRITER OF A FAMOUS SONG

Nearly all the American collections of
verse of any pretensions, published
within the past thirty years, have con-
tanned one poem-and most of them one
only-by Nancy Priest Wakefield. Six
or eight different composers have set
that one poem to music, and it has been
copied and recOpied times beyond esti-
mate by poetic compilers and new spa
pers wherever the English language is
printed. When Nancy Priest, plain,
shy, little factory girl of 10. sitting on a
sack of rags In the paper mill at noon
time, scrubbed the first rough draft of
over the River" on piece of brown
wrapping paper, she struck, Just for
once, the immortal note that aspiring
poets the world over are to-day trying to
sound. If it is satisfying fame to hear
ones words sung in many key and
with many discord, to see them gazing
at one from the pages of Sunday school
hymn books and the poets corner of al
most every newspaper, then, for the few
years that she lived, this artless singer
enjoyed fame. ''Over the River" ap-
peared in print in the year 1857. It was
first published in the Sprinfeld RepubH-
can, over the authors nom de plume of
Lizzie Lincoln" At this distance, and
with the graceful measures of thousand
modern miner poets jingling in our ears,
the remarkable vogue that this poem en-
loyed may seem little singular The
figures of illustration that she used-the
phantom bark, 1.-THE golden oars" the
''silver sands" and ''the boatman pale''
have since been echoed so much and so
often by later rhymers that they now
seem terribly hacknayed; but when this
song was written such imagery was not
so common. The verse had musical
swing and rhythm, and the sentimentit
carried touched at once the hearts of the
bereaved in countless homes whence the
flower of the flock, the stay of the house
hold, or little children in their innocence
or beauty had gone away to the un
known country. So, "Over the River
became household song.
Comparatively little, however, was
ever written about its author. Her
writings, while she lived, were confined
to the newspapers of the vicinity. She
was living i'll Hinsdale, N. H., when her
famous song was written, and its subject
came to her while she looked from the
mill window across the Ashuelot river
splashed and dimpled by shower of
rain. Not long after, Miss Priest re-
moved with her parents to Winchendon,
Mass, where she afterward met Lieut..
Wakefield, whom she married. She
died after few years of happy married
life
