with a degree of personal adulat:on
and "todyinI" which was not al
together agreeable to him.
1t is related that on one occasion.
when a public reception was given to
him at a hotel in Boston. a rarticu-
larry obScluiou> old otliccr-sct ker was
introduced. The man Hattcrcd Web
ster and ground his own AK, howing
and scraping. until the great man
was tired Of him. and bidding HIM
gooi-daF, settled down into the near
est chair.
But the man. instead of passing on
and giving chance to the next
conner. fingered near. and seemed t.
have something still on his mind,
though he looked very blissful
Webster observed this, and said, n 1t
very good-natura!ly:
MAY ask You, sir, if you want
anything more of me-"
"oh-oh, no" said the man, smirk-
ing'y; only, perhaps / may he per-
mitted to remark that am proud to
say that my hat is having the incsti-
mah!e honor to occupy the same chair
with DAME! Webster"

A Canal IscopCncti.

Health is largely dependent upon a regular

poured. the waitress p1urS it as soon

If there he raw oysters. they should
be served first. Usually they are ar
ranged on the plates and placed at
each persons seat before the guests
come in.
When the oyster plates have been
removed the soup turccn and hot
soup plates are placed before the host

the turccn. invcrting it at cnce that
no drops Of steam shall fall from it,
