One Point That Was Fossis for All Eyes
Mt q Dinner Tnblc.

One Point That Was n Foe'ls for All Eyes
Mt n Dinner Table.
At dinner party every one was look
ing especially fine the other night. The
ladies, in their elaborate attire and the
elegance of their coiffures, bore evidence
of unusually careful grooming. They
had doubtless been hours in securing
by studious and fatiguing application
the fairly luminous condition of splen-
dor which marked them as a company
Looking at the ring of faces about the
table, in which the presence of actual
loveliness of feature was strikingly
noticeable, there was to be seen but one
small blemish on an otherwise exquisite
garland of beauty. The blemish was,
indeed small, but it was very conspicu-
GUS and most important. 1t was moth
ing else than distinct spot of smut on
the delicate and otherwise snowy nose
of decidedly handsome woman.
stranger coming into the room suddenly
could not have failed to distinguish that
bit of smut at once. 1t asserted itself
with uncompromising boldness. The
walters had their eyes fixed on it, and
every one at the table, with the excep-
ton of near-sighted man who sat
next to the lady herself, had fairly for
cotton to talk in the Irresistible fascina-
ton that the spot eXerted. The beauteous
lady whose nose was contaminated con-
tinued ignorant of the humorous attrac-
ton she was forming, and the banquet
was brought to an end without the smut
being brushed away. 1t was not until
the lady had left the table and CHANGED
to look at herself in an adjacent mirror
that she became aware of the spot ard
removed it, She Immediately asked a
friend if the smut had been on her nose
during dinner, and was answered that
it had not been there Various female
members of the company claimed not to
have seen it. A gentleman, however,
said that he had noticed it all through
dinner adding that, while he had en-
deavored to advise the lady of its pres
ence by signs over the table, he consid-
cred it, nevertheless, only a beauty spot
that enhanced still more the perfect
purity of its wearer's face.
"But didn't Miss B., who sat next you
at table, tell you about it?" asked the
gentlemen.
"Why, no." replied the lady; "shC

"Wei, that is strange" he observed.

her that the smut was there, and she
nodded to let me know she understood
1t was told to Mrs. L., Miss F., Miss g..
and two or three others before it got tc
Miss B., and they had every one seen il
and were smiling about it."
The lady smiled to herself.
"Ah, ! see," said she. Every one o

since dinner that she had not observed

FACTS ABOUT BARNS.

flRns of Ono T2 Feet Wide and 1oA
Feet in Length,
A barn forty feet wide will give two
double stalls, each eight feet wide,
which can be fitted with doors so as to
be used as box stalls; four single stalls
each five feet wide for the horse stable;
leave passage four feet wide at one
side to pass from one stable to another.
This will give stalls for nine cows and
leave a passage at the side. / would
make the managers continuous, so one
can walk through the entire length to
clean them out, or TO feed grain to
horses and cattle.
The floor of the hangers l would
make from eight inches to one foot
higher than that on which the cattle
and horses stand but the floor must
not be raised so much as to interfere
with a tall man walking through the
manger. If more stable room is needed,
the COW stable manger can be made
five feet wide instead of four, and an
other row of cattle tied up to eat from
the opposite side of it, and some box
stalls made for both horses and cows
and provision must be made for storing
bedding. There should be two granarie:
In the basement for feed for horses anC
cows and two above for grain. In {
barn of this size there ought to be two
driveways or barn floors above, so as tC
make it convenient to fill the barn
with hay chutes located SO that hay anC
fodder can be dropped into the managers

SCARCITY oE GOOD cARvERs.
A KnAck That is Possessed by but Fow
Men.

Men.
1t is fact that good carver is rare
bird in this latitude. Not one man in
ten can carve even plain joint as it
should be done, and when it comes to
cutting upa turkey or smaller birds the
percentage of failures, comparative
and absolute, is even greater. Why is
this? Our fathers were able to handle
the carving knife with great dexterity,
and even tough duck did not daunt
them. 1t will never do for us to con-
fess that we are not as good, If not bet
ter, than our fathers, but it is clear
nevertheless that the art Of carving, the
art mind you, is dying out. Our faith
ers are often responsible for this, be-
cause they keep on carving till death
cuts them down, instead of handing
over the head of the table with its carv-
ing responsibilities to their sons in sue
cession. This seems to be the only ex-
PLANTATION aside from the one foreigners
are so prone to allege that Americans
are so much given to abiding in hotels
and boarding houses that they are more
and more losing the accomplishments
and graces which are born of and adorn
home life. And the peculiar disgrace
of the masculine happiness with the
knife is that mans better half most of
the time can carve all around him, so to
| speak -PittSburg Dispatch.
