Table Manners.

Probably there is no people in the
world so unciviliced as not to have
among themselves a code of manners,
more or less strictly defined. Mr..
Bishop. while on his thousand-mile
walk across South America, was i'm
pressed with this fact. He described
rude meal which he shared with &
company of cart-drivers = almost
savage gauchos" whose company
he was then travelling.
We encamped near swamp, and
supped upon sliced pumpkins, boiled
with bits of meat, and seasoned With
salt. The meal was served in genu-
inc p,mpa fashion: one iron spoon
and two cows horns, split in halves,
were passed around the group, the
members of which squatted upon
their launches, and freely helped
themselves from the kettle.
Even in this most unciviliZed form
of satisfying hunger there is a Pc
culiar etiquette, which the most
lowly peon invariably observes. Each
member of the company in turn dips
his spoon, or horn, into the center OF
the stew, and draws it in direct
line toward him, never allowing it to
deviate to the right or to the left.
By observing this rule, each person
eats without interfering with his
neighbor. Being ignorant of this
custom, | dipped my horn into the
mess at random, and tished about for
some of the nice bits.
My companions regarded this hor-
rid breach of politeness with scowls
of impotence. They declared with
some warmth to the cook, that
gringos did not know how to eat, and,
"as they lived upon dogs in their own
distant country, they came to the
great Argentine Republic to get food
and grow fat on the gauchos.
I apologized as we'll as | could, and
endeavored thereafter to eat accord
ing to gaucho etiquette.

evo,ution Of the Harvester.

The original cave dweller-dear
child of the working scientist-har-
vested his wheat crop by going out to
his field and gnawing Off the heads or
the grain with his active jaws. The
plan had it's advantages and also It's
disadvantages the whole our able
progeniter longed for something bet
ter. Then there arose thoughtful
paleozoic inventor who pointed out
that the grain could be pulled up by
the roots and the heads thrashed out
in the palm of the hand. This salts
fed our esteemed ancestor, and mat
tiers ran along thus for few hundred
thousand years; indeed, | claim the
working scientists privilege to be
vague as to years. Let us throw
overheard the cave-dWeller, for that
matter, and come along down to
modern times. Let US begin with
the sickle, for instance.
You may still find old men who
will tell you that they can remember
when farmers in this country had
nothing but the sickle with which to
handle their wheat and rye. A dozen
men worked in single file, and cut the
grain with one hand and gathered it
on the other arn, stopping every
round" to drink earnestly out of a big
Jug of New England rum or Pennsyl-
vania whisky. Then came the era
dle-a scythe with "hngers" on it
which made the grain lie straight.
Many farmers have cradle yet for
corners and odd hooks. With it one
man cut down the grain and another
bound it into sheaves. Then rose a
direct descendant of the paleOZOic
genius, and inverted a reaper drawn
by horses. This was in the '30s, say.
A man drove, and small boy sat on
a low seat and raked off the grain in
gavels He was practically the same
small boy who used to pull the strings
that worked the cutoff valve in the
first steam engine. He soon lost his
occupation in both instances-in the
case of the reaper they invented the
mechanical rake. 1t took five men
to follow on foot to bind up what the
reaper cut down. Still the farmer
wasn't satisfied. So they made him
the harvester. Two men besides the
driver rode on this, and bound the
grain as it was brought up on an end
less apron to where they stood. They
had an awning over them and were
very comfortably situated. This was
in the '7Os. Still the agriculturist
frctted. Then he got the self-binder,
which he has yet, though he is be-
ginning to find fault with it and
talks about electricity. - Harper's
Weekly.

disturbances which broke out with the
Spaniards in Florida, and when England
and Spain sounded the tocsin of war.
Oglethorpe and his comrades took an
important part. They are said to have
advanced to the very walls of st. August
tine, but failed to capture it, and it is
worthy of special notice, fact almost
buried in the archives of the past, that
Savannah sent to Massachusetts, great
deal of the powder used in the conflic
at Bunker Hill, when the colonists there,
stirred to action. as was the whole coun-
try, by the tyranny and injustice of the
stamp act, rebeiied against the mother
country. In 1776 Savannah revolted
against its royal governor. Two years
afterward the British captured the city,
inhumanly shooting and bayonetiug
some of its citizens in the streets, and
incarcerating others on board the En-
glish ships.
Another event, higher in tone, and
with the ring of patriotism, resonant in

How Horses Feed in Norway.

A traveller in Norway says that the
horses in that country have a very
sensible way of taking their food.
which perhaps may be benet1cially
followed here. They have a bucket
of water put down beside their al.
lowance of hay. 1t is interesting to
see with what relish they take sip
of the one and mouthful Of the
other alternately, sometimes only
moistening their mouths, as ration
al being would do while eating din
ner of such dry food. A broken
winded horse is scarcely ever seen in
Norway, and the question is whether
the mode of feeding has not some
thing to do with the preservation of
the animals respiratory organs.

the trees to partake of the repast. Jas
per and Newton suddenly sprang from
their hiding place, and Selling the guns,
shot down the two sentinels. By threats
and intimidation the other six soldiers
abandoned all efforts to regain their
guns, and were constrain ed to surrender.
The spring has been known ever since
as Jasper Spring, and is naturally a
locality of great interest.
He subsequently lost his life in the
siege of Savannah by the allied forces
of America and France, under Gen. Lin
coin and Count D'Estaing, while essay
ing to replace his regimental colors
within the lines of the British, where
they had been Carried by an assault.
The remains of Toma- Chi-Chi, the
renowned Indian chief, are supposed
to have been buried somewhere in
courthouse square. He was laid to
rest with all the honors and pomp be-
fitting his station and the friendship
he evinced for the colonists, among
whom he had passed his life. Ogle-
thorpe himself acted as pall-bearer
Nor is Savannah without interest in
later days, where the defenses, thrown
up and installed during the civil war,
still remain, save where they have
city's expansion. The exterior line of
defense, stretched from Cranston' S
Bluff, four miles eastward Of Savan-
nah, to the Ogeechee River, taking in
within it's extent Greenwich Park,
Thunderbolt, Isle OF Hope, and Beau
lieu. This was instituted to ward off
an attack of the United States navy,
and to prevent the landing of troops.
There were, also, a number of river
batteries, of which Fort Barton was
the most important. It was Fashioned
with an inclosed area Of seventeen
acres, with bomb-proofs, moat, glacis,
and advanced batteries in the front,
with rifle pits near the water. This
fortification is now in ruins, Overgrown
with trees and bushes. Then there was
Fort McAllister, which, more from its
eligibility of location, on a bank Of the
Ogeechee River, at Genesis Point, than
from any invulnerability from its
strength or massive proportions, for it
was merely an earthwork, although
with heavy armament, which made so
many gallant and successful defenses
against the Government iron-clads and
Gen. Sherman's Corps, from the land
side. Fort Boggs, and other fortlfica-
tons might be mentioned, but Fort
Pulaski, named in honor of Gen. Pu-
laski, at the entrance to the harboc, on
Cockspur Island, fourteen miles from
the city, is the most prominent, because
of its siege and capture during the civil
war. It cost over million OF dollars,
and was sixteen years in process OF con-
struction. This fort was occupied by
the Georgia soldiery early in 1861, and
was only evacuated after the capture OF
Tybee Island and the approach of the
Federal batteries. The details Of its
spirited defense by the Confederates are
a portion of the history Of the INTERIM
cine struggle that dragged its bloody
trail along the interval between 1861
and 1865. Three miles below the city is
Fort Oglethorpe, formerly Fort Jack
son, built in 1903, and occupied during
the war of 1S1215, since which date il
has been reconstructed, and forms g

Keep Your Hat On When Outdoors

The California, State Board of
Health has sent out circular en-
titled THE Dangers Arising from
Taking Off the Hat Out of Doors
During Funeral Services. 1t at
tacks the custom strongly and urges
that one funeral is often the cause Of
many, because the friends Of the
dead stand around in the open air,
even in Winter, for many minutes,
while the body is being carried from
house to hearse, or while the cere-
monies at the grave are taking place.
The board asks ministers and chiefs
Of lodges and others who may have
charge of funerals to give the benef-
cent advice to remain covered and
avoid discomfort and danger" The
point is made that remaining covered
when removing the hat means peril
to the health is no disrespect to the
dead, but simply a wise and humane
precaution. York Sun.

Just Fun Alive.

just Fun Alive.
There is staid solemnity about the
average railroad conductor that is
simply awe-inspiring. He passes
through the car, in his monotonous
round of punching and collecting
tickets, with sort of subdued,
mournful air, as if there was nothing
in life for him but punching and col
lecting tickets. "Your tickets,
please" he says, in a tone Of persua-
sive blandness. He never smiles; he
never jokes: he punches the tickets
proffered him in sadly perfunctory
way. This is when he is on duty.
The other day | struck upon con-
ductor of New Jersey Central train
when off duty. He was a different
man. He was dressed differently,
having dotted his regulation blue and
brass buttoned uniform. soon found
that this fellow was full Of fun way
down to the bottom of his boots, and
that the conductor Of the train on
duty had likewise vein of humor as
rich and fertile, though carefully con-
cealed.
"Your ticket, please" asked the
conductor of the train, as he came
to where the conductor off duty was
seated.
II have no ticket" was the re-
Spouse.
"Then you will have to pay your
fare"
q will pay you when get to my
| journeys end and not before, said
| the Off-duty conductor in tone OF
irate firmness. RAILROAD companies
have no business to exact fares in adj
| vance How do [ know whether the
train will get through or not? The
train may run off the track and we
may all be smashed to pieces, and
then I'd be out my fare. No, sir, L
have made up my mind that from
| this day on. and | have to ride a good
deal on the cars, that | shall never
buy railroad ticket and never pay
my fare before | get to the end Of my
| journey"
II am not here to be trified with, "
retorted the conductor, with an air
of intensely savage gravity. "How
far are you going?"
| ITO the end of the route"
"Not unless you give me your ticket
Or pay your fare"
Il have told you what will do. l
won't pay you before l get to my
stopping place"
''Then 1 shall put you off the
train"
Il dare you to do it. / only hope
you will, for then the company will
have to pay me money enough to
make me independent for life.
"Wait till I get through punching
tickets and I'll bounce you off this
train so quick you'll think you have
been struck by Jersey lightning"
"Do it, if you dare: do it now, don t
wait for anything"
The two talked so loud and ap-
peared to be so angry that the atten-
tion of all the passengers in the car
was directed to them. They seemed
as mad as two wet hens, that popular
formulated climax Of Indignation. t
was the cause of some fright to the
passengers, but then those two con-
ductors were having a big lot Of fun
all to themselves, and they kept it up
with increasing yehemence at inter
walls to the end of the route.-NeW
