The uan of Chonsticks.

We are very apt to think that the use Of
chopsticks is n heather custom and should
be left to the Chinese. But il we only
knew il the despised little sticks are of
great service in everyday work and play,
and the boys and girls cannot do better
than learn 10 handle them.
The first thing in the use OF chopsticks is
to hold one of them very firmly in the right
hand, just as ON awkward boy holds his
pen, and to get the trick Of holding it so it
will not slip. The other stick is hel5 in the
left hand and is placed in the fingers as If
it were pen held properly, so it will slide
and move with the motions Of the fingers.
A little practice with two pointed sticks
will soon give the necessary experience, so
that any boy or girl can use the chopsticks
nicely.
Now, when you have learned the use of
the sticks, you will soon find how service
able the knowledge will be to you. Sup
pose you want TO pick up something which
is very hot or sticky or dirty, and do not
want it to come in contact with your fin
gers. Why, you can quickly make pair
OF chopsticks and get what you want with
out any trouble Or IL anything falls into
a small crack you can get it easily with
the sticks. And by and by, when you go
TO japan, you will be able to eat at the Jap
anese tables without anY trouble and pick
up the rice as If you were a japanese. New

Cleveland between now and Monday, the
4th of December, when congress recon-
venes in regular session Most Of the in
tsrving time will be spent at Woodley in
the preparation Of his annual message.
The president finds that be can work there
to much better purpose than in the ex-

and representatives have left the city,
enough remain behind to make the pres
sure upon him for the numerous import.
ant appointments still untitled something
TO be avoided as far as possible These
appointments, as fast as decided upon,
will be given ont from the white house on
certain days In the week.
Nearly all the cabinet officers are well
advanced with their reports, which will
form the basis Of the presidents recon-
mendations in dealing with department
matters 1t is understood that each ofi-
Ger in turn will probably be guest at
Woodley. They may not all assign

for their visit, and may not all, like Secre-
tary Gresham. take to the woods between

get thre all the same. Secretary Carlisle
has already had one whole day at Wood
lev and many evening consultations Post
master-G General Bissell frequently drives
out there in the pleasant evenings, and
Col Lamont is constant visitor.
State department matters this year will
be of unusual interest, embracing as they
will the Hawaiian policy OF the admins

some authentic announcement will be
made for the information of the general
public, and the stirring incidents in Bra

been endeavoring in every brief respite
that the silver fight has given him to get
together In q succinct form a tabulation
of facts and recommendations to be
handled by the president on this topic.
After that will necessarily follow the
presidents recommendations which he
practically promised in his special mes
sage to the extra session, as to that
''other legislative action" which may be
necessary to ''put beyond all doubt or
mistake the intention and the ability Of
the government to fulfill its pecuniary

pized by all civilized countries" This por-

The figure below the sketch of the table

cloth, was secured in place about 10
inches from the floor.
Into the under side Of the shelf, close
to each table leg, was turned strong
screw-almost, but not quite, through
to the upper surface Of the board-so
that the heads projected like four legs,
each nearly an inch long. These little
legs dropped through and fitted closely
into the eyes of strong screw eyes which
were turned into and projected from the
inner side Of each table leg. Being held
in position in this way, at four points,
the shelf was as secure as need be, and
1t almost doubled the usefulness Of the
table.
