Small Tables for Dinner.

An idea from Paris that one or two
New York hostesses here recently intro
duced is that of serving a dinner at
small tables in lieu of one long one 1t
is perhaps rather relief from the mo-
notony of a long table, which in the
case of large dinner ought never to
be, but it is doubtful if after the nov,
city has worn off it will be liked. The
seats of honor will always be at the
hostess table, and hearthurnings and
jealousies are sure to arise among those
who find their places at the less favored
ones. As only persons with large din.
ing rooms now undertake large dinners,
it is common for the two parallel lines
to be broken by different arrangements
which still keep all the guests at com
mon board. Her Point of View in

When Bayard, knight of stainless name,
With Frances shattered legions flying,
ttalia's Alpine ramparts crossed,
And of his mortal wound lay dying,
He babe his soldiers meath an oak
Shading the rivers tranquil flow
Bear him, where, resting 'gainst its trunk,
He still might face the foe.
Piumed knights and warriors bronzed and
bearded,
Lamenting, press around the spot;
.Oh, hero soul, fair shield of France,
Whose honor knows nor stain nor blotln
God is her shield" brave Bayard gasped;
Haste, haste We to your standards back,
My last farewell bear to my king;
Haste, the foes on your tracki'
Ay, onward rush the coming foes;
He who alone their ranks could stay
Lies PROSTATE, and the sons of Spain
Dash swiftly to the fray.
Pescara's faachion flashes bright,
De Bourbon's shout rings loud and clear,
But with lowered blade springs each brave
knight
From selle, who Bayard draws near
The crimson sod Pescara sees,
Hts clarion voice Is sad and low;
"Oh, would give my own hearts blood
To save my noble foel'
Sadly the traitor Bourbon spoke:
Oh, flower of knighthood, must we meet
In gutse like this? Dark, dark the hour

KINeFIsHER. Oklahoma, March 3d.
A race war of no mean proportions is
threatened in this city. Several nights
since party of white men made AFRAID
through the part Of the county occupied
by the negro farmers and threatened
them with punishment if there was any
more petty stealing from the whites.
The negroes did not appear to be much
alarmed at the threat, and told the reg
ulators that they would have hard
time of it if they attempted any rough
treatment. Subsequently the mayer OF
this place received a communication
signed The Committee. which stated
that if violent hands are laid on any col
ored man without authority of law the
colored race would gosto his assistance,
and If they were prosecuted too far the
town of King6sher would be reduced to
ashes. There is great excitement over
this threat.

Laugh, and the world laughs with you;
Weep, and you weep alone;
For this brave old earth must borrow It's
mirth,
It has troubles enough of its own.
Sing, and the hills viii answer;
Sigh, it IS lost an the air!
The echoes bound to Joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice, and men will seek You;
Grieve, and they turn and go;
They want full measure of all your pleasure,
But they do not want your woe.
Be glad, and your friends are many;
Be sad, and you lose them all;
There are none to decline your nectar'd
wine, 4ts
But alone you must drink ife's gall.
Feast, and your halls are crowded;
Fast, and tho world goes by;
Succeed and give and it helps you live,
But no man can help you die.
There Is room In the halls Of pleasure
For long and a lordfy train;
But one by one we must all file ON
Throagh the narrow aisies Of pain.

Since she went home
The Pass Of Brander.

The Pass Of Brander.
An along the pass Of Brander,
Full many year ago,
There trudged q slender woman
Deep through the binding snow.
A weary slender woman,
With sweet, soft English tongue;
A stranger in the highland glens,
Feeble and pale and young.
And with her simple story
She passed from door to door:
''Oh, give me just piece Of bread,
And nights rest once more.
My husband was sailor;
He hailed from Oban bay;
I want to take his baby home,
And Lay it where he hay.
It'll lay it on hio mothers breast,
And then I'll gladly CO."
And she held up a thin, thin hand,
As white as any snow.
All along the pass of Brander
The wind sank soft and STILL
The stars stood silently above
Ben Crauchen's mighty hill.
The Awe was like river of glass,
And doubled in its tide;
The great black pass of Brander
Rose on the other side.
An eerie place to travel through;
But she was not afraid
OF ghost or wrath, of beast or man.
I'm too near God, i" she said.
The path grew longer, longer
Such poor. soft English feetl
But then it was an English heart,
Patient and calm and sweet.
At length her steps grew heavy as lead;
The baby woke and cried;
She stopped and fed it at her breast
Upon the lone moor side.
Then stranger, stranger thoughts came
into her head;
She saw her cottage door;
She heard sweet English bells chime faint
Across the highest moor.
Deep sleep was stealing DER her lids,
A soft sleep without pain;
She rose and clutched her baby tight
And tried>to walk again
But vain the struggle, vain the toll;
ut is too late, she cried,
And from Ben Crauchan's lofty top
She saw white angels glide.
They'll robe me, without any lack,
In shining robes all new"
So one by one, to wrap the boy,
Her garments off she drew.
Warm sheltered like young bird In nest,
She placed him by a stone,
Saying, 1.-THE angels watch the child,
Until the night be goner'
Weeping-"If should save thee, child,
No man will show me scorn."
Then lay down white on the white sn0w,
As bare as babe new born.
It is brave young sailor;
He halls from Oban bay;
His granddame's pride, his shtpmaAes
boast,
So handsome, bold and gay.
But his cheeks will pale of q sudden.
And his tears gush like a tide,
II you name the pass Of Brandor,
Where his English mother died.

seven hitherto unidentified microbes in

found in the mucus that had been caught

form, varying occasionally in outline,
but always distinctly market by series
