Hints About the Table.

For a meal of several courses it is
no longer good form to lay all the
knives, forks and spoons that are to
be used at each cover at the begin.
ming of the meal. No more than four
sets are placed at first; say, the oyster
fork, the soup spoon, the fish knife
for the first relieve or meat. Other eat
ing implements are added with each
course that follows. This plan pre-.
vents embarrassment to the guest who
is not used to sixteen courses and does
not forestall the appetite of n who
is. Lace and satin and fligrees of
that sort are tabooed from elegantly
appointed tables for covers. The finest
and handsomest of damask, snowy
white. .alone is counted in the best
taste.-N. Y. Mail and Express.

THE OYSTER is CLEANLY.
But 1t Keeps Its House Tidy by a Very Pc
culiar System.

But 1t Keeps Its House Tidy by a Very Pc
culiar System.
The oyster is a particularly cleanly
creature 20 far as his own person is
concerned. His notions of housekeep-
ing, however, are not such as would
be likely to commend him to the favor
of a New England housewife. He does
not like dirt. but his way of cleaning
house is to paint the dirt over instead
of sweeping it out. However, he is
not to blame for that. He does the
best he "a to keep clean with the re-
sources at command.
An illustration of this method, which
is rather remarkable, may be seen at
some of the oyster counters just now.
1t is found particularly in Rockaway
oysters. In the hollow Of the shells
in many instances are dark blotches
the size of a finger nail, which look
not unlike a blood blister. These
spots seem to be a discolora-
tion in the shell. The n~acreous
surface is unbroken over them,
though the black or dark blue places
bulge slightly above the surrounding
white shell. Touch these spots with a
fork and they are easily broken into,
showing a layer Of shell of tissue paper
thinnesS covering small masses of mud,
which may be scraped away until, be-
meath, the ordinary white oyster-shell
is reached.
The explanation of this phenomenon
is found in the weather of last winter.
There was a great storm off the south
shore of Long Island, which DESTROYED
many of the Rockaway oyster-beds by
filing them in with mud till the oys-
tiers were smothered and by tearing
the creatures from their ~fasteninps.
Many other beds which were not de-
stroyed were somewhat disturbed BIZ
the waves. That is the trouble with
some of the Rockaways seer new in
the market. The mud forced itself in
to their mouths and between the she'll
and their delicate membranes. II
there is anything an oyster dis
likes it is sand and grit. irritating his
tender skin. 1t makes him feel as
badly as a man does with a cinder un-
der his eyelid. He is utterly unable to
eject the troublesome substance, so he
builds over it a smooth layer of she'll
and if he is left long enough undis-
turbed he will have buried it beyond
sight in the wall of his house. The
mishap of last season is too recent for
him to have done, that, so he is found
with mud just covered with a coating
of nacreous paint.
His method in this case is exactly
the same as that followed by him in
making a pearl. A bit of sand gets in
the folds of his body where he can
not get it out, and he covers it with a
never-thickening layer of nacre that
it mag not cut and annoy him. If it
is not in contact with the shell it is
found a spherical body; if it touches
the shell it is gradually covered in
with its growth, and is so rendered
harmless. N. Y. Tribune.

Proud of His Plaid.

Prof. Blackie frequently staid at my
house when %lecturing in Glasgow. He
was always at his best when one had
him alone. One night when we were
sitting up together he said in his
brusque way: Whatever other
faults l have lam free from vanity An
incredulous smile on my face reused

liam and Mary college. the very Oldest college
N our land, but laJely reopened in the reduced
condition OF q normal school. This college
was She first to make practical politics a part
OF She regular curriculum, and the
benefit OF such q course was seen in
the fact that with an average Of but sixty
pupils per year it had prior to the revolution
graduated the first president OF the United
States, the draughter of the Declaration of In
dependence, two cabinet officers under Wash
ington, four signers OF tho Declaration Of Inde-
pendence and two judges Of the supreme court.
This is an instance of what vast good can be
done in a little country college.
So say to you, you may not rank with Har-
ward, Yale or Johns Hopkins, but you may be
able out of the young men of Missouri to make
a gift to Your country that viii leave it better.
1 summon you as citizens Of the United
States, dependent as you and all OF US are on
correct politics. to do your duty toward in
augurating a better regime. Isummon you as
students Of Central college to understand and

and to demonstrate that the legitimate scope
OF the college is 4 large one. The ranks OF our
leaders are being decimated by time and cir

Those were palmy days, Barnabee.
Dirt sold like wheat in n pit as the

THE RUNNING TOP,


The top 1t hummeth 4 sweet. sweet song
To my dear little boy at play
Nerrily singeth all day long.
AS it spinneth and spinneth away.
And my dear little boy
He laughed with joy
When he heard the monotone
or that busy thing
That loveth to sing
The song that is all its own.
Hold fast the string and wind it tight,
That the song be loud and clear;
Nov hurl the top with all your might
Upon the banquette here:
And straight from the string
The joyous thing
Boundeth and spinneth along,
And it whirs and it CHRIS,
And it birrs and ii purrS
Ever its pretty song.
Will ever my dear little boy grow old,
As some have grown before:
VIII ever his heart feel ain and cold
When he heareth the songs OF yore?

NEGRO MINERS DRIVEN OUT
On Account of Robberios Said TO be Com
mitted by Them,

| SPRING VALLEY, Ills, Aug 5.-The
Location" patch of some hundred odd
| company houses near No. 3 shaft, inhRb-
tied almost exclusively by negroes, was
| yesterday visited by a vengeance mob OF
500 white minAs from the city and given
taste of mob violence. Saturday mid
night five colored men held up white
man named Barney Role between this
city and Location, and after robbing him
of nearly 500 in money fired three pistol
shots into him and left him for dead.
Role is the third man shot at Location in
the past few weeks.
When the miners of this city heard of
the outrage they assembled on the public
square and decided to march in body to
! General Manager Dazell's house and de-
mand of him the discharge of every
colored man in Location. A brass band
was secured and the mob repaired to the
general managers house. He refused to
grant what the white miners wanted.
Then they marched toward No. 8. By the
the time the mob arrived at Location most
of the negroes had fled to the woods.
About dozen were caught and treated to
most violent acts. Stones were hurled at
them and shots fired. Two were shot, but
not seriously hurt.
The boarding house for colored men
was then attacked. All the inmates fled
for their lives. The mob ransacked the
houses, breaking furniture and commit
ting other depredations. This afternoon
gang Of men with pistols secured the
woods hunting for negroes to shoot at.
No more trouble is anticipated unless the
negres attempt to come back.
The rioters were all Italian miners.
There has been bad blood between them
and the negroes ever since the latter were
imported here, and it is asserted that they
have been awaiting for good excuse to
drive them out.
