has been horse play because it was unde-

Populist vote will stay by Powers until it
Is demonstrated that he has no show.

The Many Uses of French Felt.

French felt is made into ribbon and braids of every description. That ar eighth of an inch wide is used more than other widths. It is made into rosettes and mounted on wire stems, like pompons, for hat trimmings. Il is braided into gimps and wide, flat braids. Quarter-inch felt ribbon makes rosettes used without being mounted. Felt ribbon l, 2and inches wide is twisted about hats and bon nets in rolls and tied in big bows. It comes in all shades.
 Whole hats and bonnets are made of the felt gimp. The felt gimp and braid is sold by the bolt and yard. Some of it, not over an inch wide, sells at @ yard. The dark blue threaded with a gold tinsel makes an effective trimming for a blue cloth gown and turban. Felt ribbon and soutache braid are twisted together. Exchange.

Eat Food Slowly.

Eat all cold food slowly. Digestion will not begin till the temperature of the food has been raised by the heat of the stomach to 9s degrees. Hence the more heat that can be imparted to 1t by slow mastication the better. The precipitation of a large quantity of cold food into the stomach by fast eating may, and often does, cause discomfort and indigestion, and every occasion of this kind results in a measurable injury to the digestive functions. Ice water drank with cold food of course increases the mis- chief. Hot drinks-hot water, weak tea, chocolate, etc.-wi1 on the con trary help to prevent it. But eat slowly anyway. .-Jenness Miller's IL illustrated.

Bcards and siustaehes In China.

Chinese common law forbids man to preside in court of justice, in other words to be a mandarin of rank. unless he has a decent pair of F. us taches This law forces many aubi tious men who are naturally beard less to go to the Chi Now Shi Foo to make brand new faces for tn, m. From this it can be seen that therA is no excuse and none IS tolerated in China for bear1leSs faces or bald heads in cases where it Is necess., ,ry for those parts of the body to be coy cred with hair.
 Advertisements are often seen in American papers for removing hair. but never for planting it. It is DOS sible that in this, as in 50 many other inventions, the he4then are ahead of the Christians. Wong Chin Foo in St. Louis Post Dispatch.

ETIQUETTE OF DINNERS.
New the Various Dishes should He servs'
 and Eaten

and Eaten.
 One may be refined and elegant,
 yet unless continually given over to
 a round of social entertaining may
 find ones self at loss when invited
 to some swell dinner where the
 latest fads are observed and more
 eeremonious etiquette required than
 for informal affairs just among the
 family.
 On elegant tables each plate is ac-
 companied by two large silver
 knives, a small silver knife and fork
 for fish, small fork for oysters, a tablespoon for soup and three large forks. The napkin is folded in the center with piece of bread upon it. AS the courses are served the knives and forks and spoons that have been used arc removed with the plate. Fish should be eaten with a silver fork, and if full of bones needs the use of the knife as well. For sweet breads, outlets, roast beef, etc, the knife IS also necessary, but for cro- quettes, rissoles, bondies a la Reine, timbales and dishes of that class the fork is required.
 When dessert isreached, everything save the tablecloth and floral deco rations is removed. A dessert plate with a small silver spoon, a dessert spoon and fork and sometimes a com bination fork and spoon for ices are placed before each guest.
 Pears and apples are peeled with silver knife, cut in quarters and eaten with the fingers. Grapes should be eaten from behind the half closed hand, the stones and skins falling into the fingers unobserved and thence to the plate Oranges are eaten with a spoon.
 Salad is eaten with Q fork. but needs Q knife to cut large leaves that have not been divided before sel.v- ing. Cheese is eaten with a fork, though soft cheeses are spread on a bit of cracker or bread and conveyed to the mouth by the fingers.
 Saltcellars are now placed at each plate, and it is not improper to take salt with the knife.
 If sorbets are served before the game, a dessert spoon accompanies hem, but it is not among the origi- nal number placed on the table. The small after dinner coffee spoon 8 used with the tiny cups of the black beverage that concludes all Timers.
 The spoon is the most dangerous implement of the dinner, so far as 1 Us correct usage is concerned. Soup 3 always taken taken from the side ] nd is eaten nOiselessly To push l he spoon into the mouth either end ! Irst or otherwise is decidedly vul- ar.-Philadelphia Times.
