How to Give Dinner at Restaurant

How to Give Dinner at a Restaurant.
First, friends, never ask your guests
what they are going to have" Order
it yourself. You can, however, ask if
your guests have any preference; for in
stance, in ices. Endeavor to find out
before hand what they prefer, or if they
have any antipathies. Aim to order
those things that are peculiar to the sea-
son. Never speak to the waiter in loud
tone. Shelhfish should be placed before
you alive before cooking for your inspec-
Jion. If the dinner is given in large
dining room be careful to seat the ladies
SO they will command good view of the
room. A prevailing form of dinner at
the restaurant in New York during the
winter is (frst) deviled crabs with olives
or celery, or both; (second), lobster, La
Newburg, with potatoes au gratin; third),
broiled chicken with one or two vege-
tables; (fourth), a salad, lettuce preferred;
6fth). ice cream, cake and small coffee.

widowed Don.st;cs.

The mania for getting married which
besets 80 many domestic servants often
results in their finding themselves either
widowed or deserted in the course of a
few years, with a number of young chill
dren to provide for. They are generally
both able and willing to return to domes-
tic service, but that way of earning liv-
ing is barred to them by the necessity Of
looking after their membranes at
home. Knowing of many such cases, a
benevolent gentleman down in. Lanca-
shire proposes the establishment of homes
which would take care of the children,
the mothers contributing toward their
support in proportion to their own earn
ings.
The author of this scheme of relief be-
lieves that it would be gratefully ac-
cepted by the mothers as most well
come change from the unceasing cares
which now make up their daily lives
AT the same time it would benefit So
city by increasing the supply of women
servants, Il want which becomes more
pressing every year AS further help
toward that object it is proposed that all
the girls admitted into the homes should
be specially trained for domestic service
in its several departments. This would
enable them to go out into the world at
comparatively early age, and to help
their mothers instead of taxing their
scanty resources.
The main difficulty of realizing the
scheme, which certainly has taking
look, is in raising the funds In the ma
ture of things the homes would not be
wholly self supporting, even if the ex-
penses were cut down in all possible
ways Itwould be necessary, therefore,
to supplement the income derived from
the mothers contributions by subscrip-
tions collected from the charitable pub
lie, and one hesitates to advocate another
appeal to that necessarily solicited quar-

BacAelor. Lie in singapore.

Many of the white men in Singapore
keep bachelor quarters, and one descrip-
ton of bachelors bungalow will suf-
flee for all. Two young Englishmen have
a one story rambling house among some
cocoanut palms, covering alot of ground
and open on every side. Enter in and sit.
Leave your pith helmet at the door, and
one of the bachelors says: "Now,
wouldn't you take gin fzz? It's very
nice" And before the visitor can answer
he calls out, ''Boyr" when from some un-
foreseen screen or crack China boy ap-
pears and gets the order.
In few moments he returns with a
long glass filed with "gin fizz" and
powdered ice, and then the host goes on
aud asks the guest to take champagne
and port and sherry and cognac and a
julep. and-I can't go on. There were
more, but really forget the names.
This is hospitality IN the orient. There
are sixteen servants for these two white
boys. and such attendance aud obse-
quiousness spoils them, let alone the
question of running their stolnachs by 80
many liquor concoctions. Toronto

An introduction to Samuel Rogers.


On certain day we went to call at
Mrs. Procter's with our father. We
found an old man standing in the middle
of the room, taking leave of his hostess,
nodding his head-he was little like a
Chinese mandarin with an ivory face.
His expression never changed. but seemed
quite fixed. He knew my father and
spoke to him and to US, too, still in this
odd. fixed way Then he looked at my
sister Ny little girl he said to her.
will you come and 1.-Two with me? You
shall be as happy as the day is long, you
shall have a white pony to ride and feed
upon red currant jelly" This prospect
was so alarming and unexpected that the
poor little girl suddenly blushed up and
burst into tears. The old man was Mr..
Samuel Rogers. but happily he did not
see her cry, for he was already on his
way to the door.-Afrs Ritchie in Mac

Mr.. Coon,s Warm Drive.

'-One hundred square miles of desola
tion. Millions of acres of burned tim
Der land" is how G. 81. Coon, of New
York, briefly describes the burned dis
trict of Wisconsin. Mr.. Coon has just
returned from the district recently de
vastated by fire, and he says a person
who has not visited that part of the
country since the flames swept over il
can form no conception of the desola-
ton there. Mr.. Coon was at Eagle river
when the fires started with a fishing
party, and remained in the country un-
til last week. He tells of a narrow es-
cape he had from perishing in the flames
when near Lake Content:
I'VE became so used to the fires and
smoke that not much attention was
paid to the situation" said he. 1--WE
went about our business just as if moth.
ing unusual were going on. | was re-
turning from the lake one day with a
fine string of walleyed pike when
found myself with my two ponies and
cart between two fires The wind was
blowing hurricane, and | thought my
time had come. 1 could not get back to
the lake, as escape that way was cut off.
My only chance was to get to the wide
creek, but in order to reach it would
have to drive through burning timber a
distance of 100 yards. l did not have
much time to debate the matter, and
was soon dashing through the flames,
applying the whip freely to the ponies.
Unlike most horses they did not hesi-
tate when the burning underbrush was
reached, but dashed madly on. Iheld my
handkerchief over my mouth and nos
trils, not daring to inhale the smoke and
heat. Finally the creek was reached
and the ponies plunged into the stream,
and as l was minus eyebrows, hair and
whiskers, and my clothing being on fire,
], too, threw myself into the water. For
two hours the ponies and l remained in
the creek before it was safe to venture
out. During that time we were almost
suffocated with smoke and heat. Nearly
all the hair was burned off the horses,
and L was kept busy while in the creek
putting out charred cinders that fell
upon the bodies of the ponies and into
the wagon. Chicago Tribune.

A Dancinp Girl,s Reouest.

Every year, when autumn approaches,
Queen Victoria has her trunks packed
and goes a pilgrimage to the shrine of
the late John Brown at Balmoral. The
quiet life which her majesty is generally
leading becomes then absolutely dull and
greatly exasperates her suite. From the
windows of her royal apartments the
queen can glance at the white marble
monument on dear Johns tomb, and all
her time is devoted either to the mem
ory of the lever lamented" or the faithful
servant who managed to crawl up to
such high place in her royal affections.
Once in Il while, however, the dullest
of all the crowned-heads in Europe feels
dull herself. Last year the parson of
Balmoral, who is a daily guest at the
royal table, seeing her majesty so bored,
and knowing her weakness for every
thing Scotch, spoke to her of one of her
tenants daughters, who could dance the
reel better than any girl in Scotland.
The young lady was ordered to appear
before her majesty the following day.
When ushered into the queens presence
her majesty said, Il hear you can dance
the reel we'll; dance"
There was nothing left for the young
lady to do but to dance and she did it so
gracefully that her maiesty's severe face
almost took a pleasant expression.
After the performance was over she
asked the girl if the queen could do any,
thing for her.
The young lady first hesitated, but
suddenly replied. Indeed, your majesty.
you can"
"What is it,"
Give me Mr.. Gladstone's head ON a
charger"
Casting severe glance at the girl the
queen turned round and said: ''Dear
child, | will willingly give you the
charger, but Mr.. Gladstone's head can
not. 1t is long time ago he lost it,

Almost all mucilages become so dry
and hard after time that papers, ETC.,
which have been cemented by them to
polished surfaces crack and fall off. To
prevent this dissolve a little brown sugar
in the mucilage. This will strengthen
the adhering Qualities of any mucilage,
as will also the addition of drop or two
of glycerire. But care must be taken
not to add too much of the latter, as it
would prevent the mucilage drying suf-

How to Prevent Neuralgia.

An excellent way to prevent neuralgia
is to plunge the sides of the head-be-
hind the ears-in cold water immediate
ly on waking every morning. A great
number of nerves are concentrated at
those points, and the shock hardens
them, thus materially assisting the sys-
tenn in warding off neuralgia troubles
This simple practice will save many an

IT is all very well for the several
political parties and cabals in this
State to hold their conventions and
reunions, smoke HAVANA cigars,
drink imported wines and ''save
the country.'' It is their glorious
privilege. But if the participants
in these gatherings would devote q
1.-THE of their time to raising
wheat, oats, corn or potatoes, the
State would be the better for it.
The alpha and omega of all these
political gatherings is, office. We
refer to no particular party-Re-
publican, Alliance, Kelly and anti
Kelly Democrats, Legislators and
ex-legislators are all included.
Let the politicians air their opin-
ions in the newspapers if they
must find vent for their pent-up
feelings. But these everlasting
pow-wows, year in and year out,
are nauseating. There is a time for
all things. Let the loafers 60 to
work on the farm, in the office,
shop or counting room and give
long-sufering people a rest on
matters political. Men who are
constantly plotting and schemeing
for office are not worthy of the
confidence of the people. Ninety
nine out of every hundred of them
are in politics simply for what
there is in it.

An Indian at Mile Laos lake
was accused Of selling whiskey to
his brother redskins. A warrant
was issued for his arrest and placed
in the hands of a deputy marshal
for service. A few days ago the
marshal was at the lake and found
the Indian he was in quest of, but
Mr.. Indian drew his knife and
dared the marshal to arrest him.
The marshal left without his man.
Now, if it had been a poor white
settler that was accused by per-
jured redskins of peddling whis-
key and he had resisted arrest
there would have been an army Of
deputy marshals after him, and
they would have captured him at
any cost. Most of the whiskey
distributed at Mile Laos among
the Indians is brought in by the
barrel from traders in the adioin-
ing towns and retailed out by In
dian tools of these unprincipled
white traders. We repeat what
has been said oftentimes before in
these columns, the Indians at Mile
Laos are nuisance to the settlers
in and around the so-called reserva-
ton, and they should be removed
to White Earth without any further
parleying. These Indians will never
move from Mile Laos unless thew
are given to understand that the
government will use force if nee
essary. But they must go. The
best interests of the Indians as well
as the white settlers demand it.

the farmers have grievances that

RoDGER VAIL, the versatile
Minneapolis Irishman, is visiting
the place of his birth in the south
OF Ireland, and is writing some in
teresting letters to the Minneapo-
lis Tribune. In his last letter to
the Tribune he writes: II pray
to God that America shall never
be cursed with voracious British
agents selling cheap, shoddy
goods, as they are selling in Ire
land. Ii it is necessary to have a
tariff higher than McKinley's to
shut out the manufactured pro-
ducts of England from Columbia's
shores, then / am in favor of it.
Ireland dis practically without any
manufactures and England is de-
termlned she cannot have any to
compete with hers" Yet nine out
OF every ten Irishmen in the
United States will vote to throw
open the markets of this country to
English manufacturers. Thought
full, intelligent Irishmen like
Rodger Vail and Bishop Ireland
are not free-traders. They know
full well what free-trade has done
for poor old Ireland. But the
counsel of such men as Bishop
Ireland and Rodger Vail will not
avail much. Nine-tenths Of the
