Dinners Must Be More Plain,

Physiological facts, no more than il.
bred people, ought to be admitted into
good society. There is one, however,
that is of concern, since it seems to de-
mand an important change in a long es-
tablished precedent. The stomach of
civilized man has shrunk to such an ex-
tent it appears something will have to be
dropped from the menu When meals
were occasional, as now among savages,
the elasticity Of the stomach was ca.
pable of great deeds. In the days of
fighting and knight errantry food was as
precarious as now on the plains, and
this created the stomach of the valiant
trencher man on whose capacity the
present orderly sequence of dinner was
founded.
The passing away of the three and
four bottle men has been remarked with
the growth of the temperance move
ment and popularly ascribed to it. 1t is
only recently that side light has been
thrown upon the real cause of their
effacement. This is the insufficiency of
what has come to be known as the tank.
For q long time dinners of state have
facetiously been held to be periods of
gloom. It was the true word spoken in
jest. 1t is now frankly admitted that
the modern stomach is unable to wrestle
with the procession of dishes at dinner

Handshakinu YVES a Trial.

George Meikle Kemp, the architect of
the Scott monument at Edinburgh, was
q man who raised himself from OBJ
scurity by the sheer force of talent and
determination. He had retiring
nature, and shy and shrinking manner
toward strangers. The habit of hand
shaking created in him an embarrass-
ment and aversion which no could
scarcely control, and one of his friends
gives an amusing description of the
manner in which he accomplished
the deed when it became inevitable.
The two were walking along one of the
streets in Edinburgh in the full flow of
an animated conversation, when Kemp
suddenly became aware Of friend ap-
preaching them from the opposite direc-
ton.
Instantly the current of his thought
was arrested, he lost the thread of con-
versatlon, and then became silent altD-
gether. A whiraeically troubled express
sion crept over his face, and nervous
commotion developed itself in his man
ner.
Extraordinary movements began in
his right hand and arm, which he kept
dangling and jerking backward and for
ward in helpless way, as if he had en-
tirely lost control of them. Gradually
the hand appeared to stitfen, and rose,
with the arm, until they were at right
angles with the body.
With q powerful effort he shot out his
hand and grasped that of the friend who
had approached, and then, the ordeal
passed, with sigh of relief, he briskly
resumed his part of the conversation
with the air of man who has performed
an unpleasant but meritorious action

The Irrigation of Orch ards,

1t has been demonstrated in California
that surface irrigation is not the best
method for orchards. The system is I'M
tidy, wasteful and causes an unneces-
sary growth of noxious weeds. 1t also
stultifies the tree growth, causing the
roots to form in a ball near the surface.
An orchard designed for market fruits
should be irrigated by means of under
ground conduits or cement pipes.
These are laid below the freezing
point and made of sufficient dimensions
to carry the requisite quantity of water
within three or four feet of the tree.
Small holes cut in the top of the pipes
and covered by boxes to prevent the
holes filling with earth allow the water
to percolate slowly out from the pipe
and moisten the soil at the roots of the
tree.
By this method the roots go down
ward, giving the tree firmness to resist
transforms and withstand the effects of
continued dry weather in case the water
supply is temporarily exhausted. This
system may be considered expensive, but
the additional yield of fruit will Justify
such expenditure. The field of the future
irrigated fruit market will be large
enough to justify systematic under
ground tiling as we'll as piping. Drain
ages will be more extensively practised
as the market orchards increase, and al
though expensive as it may seem, these
orchards will be valuable dividend pay
ing properties.-Irrigation Age.

An Accommodating Barber,

Some of the rural towns in New Eng
land do not support barber, and hair
cutting is usually done by an accommo-
dating neighbor. A writer recently fell
in with one of these amateur BARRIERS,
and humorously describes his accommo-
dating ways:
Soon was perched astride of mo-
lasses hogshead, with meal bag about
my neck to protect it from the fall Of
hair. might say the possibilities of a
fall from the hogshead were great, as
squirmed about it to have the light
strike my head right, so the cores would
be even. He was no mean barber, for
he scorned to receive any recompense.
wish all BARRIERS were as charitable.
After our cutting acquaintance saw
much of the barber. One time he was
on the school house steps cutting a
mans hair. Again l saw him hard at
work on a mans head in the middle of
his vegetable patch. The farmer was
leaning against bean pole with his hoe
in his hand, evidently making the most
of his luxurious ease. Anywhere and
everywhere he happened to catch his
man the enterprising barber would
work. l was on the shore one day
watching fisherman at his salmon nets.
Shortly a small skiff went out from a
neighboring cove. In it was the barber,
who rowed out to where the fisherman
was and was soon cutting his hair.-Bel-
fast Age.

An Indian Amulet.

In India variety of gems and stones
are used as amulets. The most common
is the salagrama, stone about as large
as a billiard ball, and which is perforated
with black. This is supposed to be
found only in Gandaki, a river in
Nepaul. The person who possesses one
OF these stones is esteemed highly for
.tunate; he preserves it in clean cloth,
from whence it is sometimes taken to be
bathed and perfumed. He believes that
the water in which it is washed, if
drank, has the power to preserve from
sin. Holding it in his hand, the dying
Hindoo expires in peace, trusting in a
stone rather than in the living God.-
