THE ETIQUeT OF DINNERS.
How the Various Dishes Should be Served
aud Eaten.

How the various Dishes ShOutd be served
aud 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 very latest fads
are observed and more ceremonious
etiquet required than for informal af-
fairs 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, a
small fork for oysters, tablespoon for
soup, and three large forks The nap
kin is folded in the center with piece
of braid upon it. As the courses are
served the knives and forks and spoons
that have been used are removed with
the plate Fish should be eaten with a
silver fork, and if full of bones needs
the use of the knife as we'll For sweet
breads, outlets. roast bbeef. etc, the
knife is also necessary. but for GRO
quettes, rissoles. bondrieS a la Refine,
timbales, and dishes of that class, the
fork is required.
When dessert is reached everything
save the table-cloth and horal decora-
tons are removed. A dessert plate with
a small silver spoon, dessert spoon
and fork, and sometimes a combination
fork and spoon for ices, is placed be.
fore each guest.
Pears and apples are peeled with a
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 fork, but needs
a knife to cut large leaves that have
not been divided before serving. Cheese
is eaten with fork, though soft
cheeses are spread on bit of cracker
or bread and conveyed to the mouth by
the fingers.
Salt cellars are now placed at each
plate, and it is not improper to take
salt with the knife.
II sorbets are served before the game
a dessert spoon accompanies them, but
is not among the original number
placed on the table. The small after.
dinner coffee spoon is used with the
tiny cups of the black beverage that
concludes all dinners.
The spoon is the most dangerous i'm.
plement of the dinner so far as its
correct usage is concerned. Soup is al.
ways taken from the side and is eaten
noiselessly. To push the spoon into
the mouth, either end first or other.
wise. is decidedly vulgar. - Chicago

\ Prehistoric Oak.

A chimney-piece, carved from wood
ver six thousand years old, has recent
ly been erected in a house in Edin-
burgh. The wood, an oak tree, was
found in sand-pit at Musselburgh,
thirteen feet below the surface. Prof.
Geike, of the chair Of geology of the
university of Edinburgh, after person.
ally examin ing the strata in which the
oak was found, said the tree-which
was five feet nine inches in diameter
must be atleast six thousand years old,
and describes it as a relic Of neolithic
man. 1t was in fine state of preser-
walton, due to the sand, and was easily
workable.-Argonaut.

Dorothy Sweet-have Just gone TO

room, with Jane, the pretty maid, en-

Where's Tom, to-night?' Iventured
to inquire.

wife. IN call him." and going to the

British or Americans, and it created
much amusement to see the grimaceS
of those who were fated to become red
coats.
Donald Waldron was an orphan. His
father, like all the Waldrons before
him, had been simply known as Farmer
Waldron, and their farm was the site
whereon the city of Beverley was built
The predecessors of Donalds father
had ever been content as farmers, sat
isfed to win a good living from the
soil and rear families up to honest and
virtuous man and womanhood. But
the fever of speculation seized old
Roger Waldron. He had an am
bition to grow rich, and the slow
methods of his forefathers were not at
all to his liking When Don was but a
lad in waistcoat and knee breeches
his father conceived the idea of having
town grow upon his land in the place
of corn and wheat. His sagacity
showed him that the place was simply
ideal for that purpose. He subdivided
his acreage and gave literally to men
of means who would agree to locate
and erect manufacturing plants. The
scheme proved fully as successful as
he could have wished. Machine
shops, foundries, mills, sprang into life,
and with them came the merchants
and professional men Of all kinds, such
as 60 to make up city. Old Roger
realized handsomely on his residence
lots, and in few years he had accom-
plished his wish and become a rich
man.
But the change from the ways of his
fathers did not end there for Roger
Waldron. The sudden accession to
wealth stirred in him the greed of a
miser The result was that from a
hospitable, comfortable, pleasant home
the Waldron residence became a place
of want and misery and wretchedness.
Money still poured into the old mans

mentioned, and Donald Waldron asked
permission to say few words in favor
of that memorable event.
"While no one could desire to detract
from Washington's glory in thecefeat
of his country's enemies at Princeton"
he said, yet itmust be recognized that
Yorktown was the more important
event, as it virtually ended the strife.
It was the blow which vanquished the
British lion and perched the American
eagle upon his back where he could
Shrek to his hearts content 1t broke
the rod of tyranny with which the
British king wished to beat the col
onists into subsection, and gave to the
the patriots freedom they had fought
and bled and died for; it gave to US, the
American people, our independence and
our Fourth of July. This seems to me
one grand reason why Yorktown should
be chosen, but there is another 1t is
true, Yorktown was siege which
occupied some considerable time. All
we need to do is to enact the grand
fight, the heroic sorties which carried
the redoubts and compelled the sur
render of CORVALLIS. Now, ladies and
gentlemen, am in favor of this event
because we have right here at hand
the very place to represent Yorktown.
We have the building which can be
easily imagined as the residence of
Gov Nelson, which was used as the
headquarters of the British COM
mander, and upon which that patriotic
governor leveled his artillery with
reckless disregard of his own pri-
vate interest This building is
already surrounded by a barricade
admirable as fertilization. Our can
non can be easily taken to the spot,
and will prove effective in bombarding
the besieged British forces.
Ladies and gentlemen, see no rea-
son why the premises alluded to should
not be used for our celebration. am
most assuredly willing, though as you
can easily guess, it is my own old home
| allude to"
There was a plainly apparent huski-
ness in Donald Waldron's voice as he
uttered the last words. All present
recognized it and fully sympathized
with the young man, but the T-triotism
the coming event inspired and the
speech and offer he had Just made
wrought them up to high pitch Of ex-
element, and they cheered and APP
plauded vociferously.

plcted. Elton Merrick was chosen for
