FRUIT MANNERS.

Bow Various Kinds OF Fruit Are to He
Eaten Mt Table.
Fruit manners" as girl aptly desig-
mates them, are a distinct department
of table etiquet. Strawberries hulled
are eaten with spoon or fork; unhulled
are taken in the fingers separately and
daintily, and dipped in sugar before be-
ing conveyed to the mouth. Apples,
pears and peaches should be divided
before being attempted in mouthfuls-
although ripe pear may be halved and
eaten with spoon. The same utensil
should be employed with melon, though
fork which has one tine slightly broad
ened is often seen for this fruit At
English tables spoons are served for
bananas as well, although when these
are served as a single fruit course
sherry or claret is usually sent around
with the whole fruit A few drops are
poured on the plate, and the banana,
stripped of its skin, is dipped in the
wine and thus eaten.
Oranges seem to offer as many meth
DDS of eating as there are varieties of
the fruit The Florida fashion of halv-
ing it across the grain and taking out
the juice aud fine pulp with DESSERT
spoon is neat way and gives one all
the desirable part of the fruit. Some
eat an orange quite as daintily by tear
ing II in small sections and taking the
fruit In mouthfuls; this method needs .
little practice before being attempted
at formal tables, ~ the inexperienced,
with juicy Havana or Indian river,
speedily gets himself into trouble
Grape-scissors are now quite gener-
ally used to manage the large punches
of this most healthful fruit, and the
skins and seeds, If one is prejudiced
against swallowing the latter. may be
as unobjectionably removed from the
mouth as cherry-stone or stray orange
seed So far as the skin is concerned,
it need never, with slsillful fingers. enter
the mouth, but once in it should never,
as is too often seen, be violently cx.
PEELED by the blowing process. 1t seems
to be conceded that to eat this fruit
behind the hand and receive the seeds
therein is preferable to using spoon.

The Sensible Way.

An evening contemporary. which date.
from the days of the megatherium
plumes itself upon its unsuccessful ef-
forts in former generation to have the
pueblo lands of San Francisco divided
among the people instead of allowing
them to be gobbled up by squatters.
Perhaps it would have been better luck
in this laudahle enterprise if it had
proposed a sensible method of giving
the public the benefit Of the land. in
stead of the absurd scheme of allowing
every resident to take possession of a
lot. 1t is hardly surprising that people
generally did not appreciate the wis
dom of division by which one person
would get lot that would soon be
worth 500, 900. while others would be
put off with tracts that would not sell
for $500 in fi.ty years, and late comers
would get none at all If the lands had
been held by the city and rented out for
the general benefit, rs the new seawall
lots are to be, the whole community to
the remotes generations would have en-
joyed the profits, every body would have
had his just share of the advantages,
and taxation would have been for ever
unnecessary. What would be said ID
somebody should suggest that the sea-
wall lots should be given away to i'm
dividusls on the principal of first come

Thin End of the Wedge in France.

A newspaper devoted to the study of
economic problems has just appeared
in Paris, called the Lessor Social II
welcomes every sort Of discussion that
has direct bearing on the social prob
lem. That the single tax will be
brought to the attention of its readers
one feels sure when he sees among the
contributors to the first number the
name Of NJ. Charles M. GARNER, the
youthful and talented ntterateur. who
recently brilliantly passed one of the
most difficult examinations for ad.
vancement in the governmental literary
department M. GARNER sees clearly
that the single tax is remedy for tho
present social ills; and at the interna-
tional congress in 1889 at Paris. he la.
bored earnestly for its success. His
recent long stay in England, in the
neighborhood of London. where he
studied the evils of landholding in their
direct form, has given him facts and
figures which he Is enabled powerfully
to employ in his French discussions

Fire Breaks Out in Somerset House
Valuable Papers in Danger.
LONDON, Dec. 6.-Fire was discovered
this morning in one Of the upper rooms
Of the west wing Of Somerset House, and
as the building was full of priceless rec
ords, great excitement prevailed in the
city. In a short time the fire department
was on the scene, and the building was
nearly surrounded by the steam engines,
which soon brought the fire under con-
troll.
1t is as yet impossible to make any
estimate Of the loss, as careful eXami-
nation of the damage by fire and water
must first be made. Many Of the papers
in the building are Of such a character
that if destroyed they could never be re-
placed, such as the wills OF Shakespeare,
Newton, Or. Johnson and many other
distinguished Englishmen.
The room in which the fire broke out,
which was used for the storage Of books
and papers, chiefly income tax returns,
was badly demoralized and most OF the
papers were destroyed.
Somerset House is over 100 years old,
having been built in I776. 1t contains the
EXchequer and Audit office, the Inland
Revenue office, the office of the Regis
trar- General, the Admiralty, Registrar
and Prerogative Will offices.

SMUGGLER HALCYON.
Her Captain Tells About Her Last
Voyage.

Her Captain Tells About Her Last
Voyage.
PORT TOWNSEND (Wash.), Dec. g.
Charles Johnson, late master of the Brit
ish smuggling schooner Halcyon, was
arrested here to-day for petty offense
He gave an account of the Halcyon's
voyage last August, when she sailed from
Victoria laden with Chinese and opium
He took on board at Victoria $50 Chinese
men and one woman, and $50 cases of
opium The vessel sailed direct to Mon
terey Bay, California, where on the ninth
day of the voyage she landed the entire
dozen Chinese capsiZed in the surf, but
no lives were lost. About two tons of
contraband American goods, consisting
principally Of playing cards, were taken
aboard, which was to be smuggled into
British Columbia.
The Halcyon returned to British terri
tory and landed her cargo near Victoria,
and was afterward seized by revenue
officers. The owners were compelled TO
go through a sham sale of the vessel
johnson says she had been fitted up
elabOrately for smuggling ventures next
year. The owners of the vessel realized
over $50, coo profit out of the last voyage.
The British schooner Cornelius sailed
from Victoria last Friday with sixty
Chinese. The destination Of the vessel is
presumed to be near Haquina Bay, Or.
or the northern coast of California. The
United States Treasury department has
ordered revenue cutters to patrol the
coast. Every effort will be made to cap
ture the vessel, as it is known she has a
large quantity of opium on board.
