TRUE HOSPITALITY.

Inhh Goou breeding.
She was q young girl from the couu-
try, and did not understand city ways;
so when invited to reception she
went at an unfashionably early hour.
Entering the dreSsing,room she was
dismayed to see Hot a cloak, not a
wrap of any sort, only well-trained
person, who took off our country girls
wrappings and then disappeared. "Oh!
dare not go down." the little thing
said, pitifully II can't; s'u the very,
very first" But instantly appeared
radiant white vislon-the daughter of
the house. Christine said yoS had

were the pleasantest and most charm
ing surprise in the world. II am SO
glad. Mamma and | were wishing we
had some one help us receive. And you
did not see papa the other day. You
must come right down and see him
and be one of U.S. Tears were in the
country girls eyes when she told me
this little story. Don't you think it
was the very loveliest thing?" she said,
''Ihere | was an hour before everyone

them; and everybody was introduced
to me, and it was so lovely" Does it

KITCHEN CUTLERY.
Good Material Is Always Cheaper THAI
Poor.

Poor.
Not one person in Thousand under
stands how to select good steel kitchen
knife. 1t is false economy to provide a
ikitchenmaid with cheap, inferior tools.
She will appreciate your consideration,
if she is the right kind of girl, if she
is provided with suitable tools to do her
work with, and will equally appreciate
your niggardness or ignorance if she is
provided with iron bread knives and
potato knives that act as saws. The
difference in cost between good tools of
this kind and inferior ones is not verv
great The method of testing them is
simple. A good steel knife is elastic
and bends readily and easily when the
point is pressed on the table. A good
English bread knife will cost about rs
cents and upward, French knives 81. 25
and upward 1t is always wise to buy
these knives of an experienced cutler,
who is thoroughly trustworthy. The
knives Of the most distinguished maker
of kitchen cutlery have been initiated
even SO far as the name; so unless you
are a judge of good knife yourself, it
is better to depend on Trustworthy
dealer 1t is hardly necessary to add
that such valuable knives should be
kept away from the fire or their temper
will be lost and they will be of no more
value than an iron knife. This should
be explained to the servant, and every
kitchen should be provided with at
least two cheap iron knives to use
around the stove. A scrapino knife
good enough for the purpose will cost
about 20 cents and is convenient arti
Gle to use about the stove. 1t is short
knife with broad, fan-shaped blade

An Apple Trees Roots.

For the purpose of erecting a suitable
monument in honor of Roger Williams,
the founder Of Rhode Island, his pri-
vate burying ground was searched for
himself and wife. 1t was found that
everything had passed into oblivion.
The shape of the cofiins could be traced
only by the carbonaceous matter. The
rusted hinges and nails and a round
wooden knot remained in one grave,
while single knot of braided hair was
found in the other.
Near the graves stood an apple tree.
from which fruit had been gathered
each year and eaten. This had sent
down two main roots into the very pres
ence of the cofiined dead. The larger
root, pushing its way TO the precise spot
occupied by the skull of Roger Will
liams, had made a turn as if passing
around it, and followed the direction OF
the backbone TO the hips. Here it di-
vided into two branches, sending one
along each leg to the heel, where both
turned upward toward the toes. One OF
these roots formed a slight crook at the
knees, which made the whole bear a
striking resemblance to the human form

SALISBURY, Md. Dec. 7.-Isaac Holt, of
Salisbury, was arrested yesterday,
charged with having stolen railroad tick
cts from the Office of the Baltimore and
Eastern Shore railroad company here.

possibly her complexion is not so fine, her
health so good but If she is a wise woman.

her complexion and remain rosy and bright,

cannot do this unaided; il is true that she

can restore all these fading qualities;
it must be some gentle stimulant taken in
moderation. But what2 There is but one.
The only medicinal stimulant which is speci-

this. and they do not hesitate to say that as a
