we doubt it. One well-supported and

IoNDoN's FASHION IN ZOE.

The fashion of using ice blocks and
trays to serve various things from
notably sorbets. oysters. CLAIMS and
frozen fruits. which is far from new
here. is in much favor in London this
season. At garden parties and dinners
they are often in evidence. and various
ways of using them have grown out
of their great popularity. one sugges
ton which will be appreciated by any
hostess who has been bothered with the
melting of the ice after the block is on the
table. is to place it on a mat made of
fine white wadding which is folded furry
side out. The MAJ is a little larger han
the ice. and such part of it as projects
beyond the block should be lightly fluff
ed out. this giving a pretty NOW effect.
The wadding is a n~on-conductor of heat,
and moreover sops up any moisture hat
may exude, from the ice block. and SO
keeps it dry thereby minimizing the
of melting. Another way is to
set the large block or a bed of lesser
pieces rather loosely placed together,
if possible on a drainer, as this allows the
water from the melting ice to run off,
and so keeps it all dry. It is on the same
principle as the glass ice pails.-Ex-

NO WONDER THERE MAD
Greenville Republicans Don't
Like Being Called Drunken
Buns"

The peaceful relations which the MIN
kakwa Club and the Greenville Repupii-
can League Club have maintained Tor the
past six months have been disturbed ana
now the members of the two organl-
cations are again seeking each others
scalps.
A few days ago the Minkakwa Cluo
sent a communication to the Leaguers,
in which they requested them TO con-
suit the members of the harmony
committee and arrange for a joint meet
ing, so that the preliminary business
for the fall campaign could be trans
acted with satisfaction to both clubs.
BY the next mail the Minks received a
reply, in which the Leaguers absolutely
refused to arrange for a joint committee
meeting until Mr.. Charles Merker, Sr.,
one of the members of the MinkakWass
Harmony committee had been dropped
from that committee. Why the League
Club objected to Mr.. Merker was a
matter that the Minkakwas could not
understand, and Mr.. w. c. Dunn. the
clubs secretary, was instructed to in
form the Leaguers that Mr.. Merker
would not be discharged from the COM
mittee without just cause. If the League
Club had charges to prefer against
Merker, let them be presented so that
Mr.. Merker could answer them, said
the Minkakwas at their last meeting,
and the Leaguers were notified to this
effect; out as yet no reply has been
received.
IDIoTIC CONDUCT.
The present trouble had it's beginning
on July 4 last, when the League Club
celebrated the opening of its new club
house with a flag raising. One of the
features of the celebration was the firing
of a National salute of twenty-one guns.
The salute was given with a rifle which
was fired alternately by Mr.. Henry c.
Petty and Mr.. Sothern. While the
SALUTE was being fired Mr.. Merker, who
lives a short distance from the club
house, passed, by on his way home. Mr..
sothern had just fired the gun and after
loading it handed it to Petty, who, it is
alleged, pointed it directly at Merker
And dischsrged it, badly soaring 3 g Me- NJ:
best of friends, and neither conceals the
contempt he entertains for the other.
When the gun was fired Mr.. Petty and
his eliminates, who We're standing near
by, allege that Mr.. Merker exclaimed,
"Oh. you're a lot of drunken bums!'
At the next meeting of the League
the members to the occurrence. and the
club promptly decided to avenge the
alleged insult at the first opportunity,
and the opportunity came when the re-
quest of the Minkakwa Club for a joint
meeting of the Campaign Committee
was made.
PETTY'S PICNIC.
One of the members of the Minkakwa
Club, in discussing the matter last even
ing, said
~ do not understand why both clubs
shout be dragged into this matter. If
the charges against Mr.. Merker have
any foundation, it is a matter for Mr..
Petty and MI. Merker to settle among
take up personal disputes or grievances.
The Minkakwas ave done nothing which
requires an apology or explanation, and
we dismiss Mr.. Merker from the com
mittee is asking. us to take a hand in
a dispute in which we as a club have
no right to figure. Furthermore, the
charges against Mr.. Merker have not
yet been proven"

HABITS IN EATING.

Habits in eating are said to be the
most insiduous of disease causes. For
instance, there is the "prune habit"
which jewellers in clearinghouse say
is worthy to rank with the opium habit.
1t causes insanity, according to doctors,
who assert that any man would go
crazy who had runes morning, noon
and evening, and found only iprunes
in the cupboard when he came in for
aging for a snack" at night. Then
there are dried apples. New England
used to be given UP to dried apple pies
at certain seasons Of the year, and the
many wrinkled dried up old maids of
this part of the country, and especially
in the backwoods places where dried APP
pie pies are plentiful, bear witness to
the result of the cause. And who shall
say that the fiery temper of the South
erner, which led to his being given the
nickname ''fire-eater," did not come from
the contents of the ~frying-pan which
never left the fire of a Southern
kitchen from early morn till late at
night, and from which came all the fried
food that. went to maxi up a planta-
ton dweller's bill of fare? There are
more things in the average kitchen
han are dreamed of in cooking-school

MILITARY T~ELBPHONING.

An interesting experiment of Install
ing a telephone by. trotting cavalry was
recently successfully undertaken by some
Prussian soldiers between Berlin and
Potsdam. Two sets of officers proceeded
respectively from the two points, each
party being equipped with a complete
telephone apparatus. which n of the
men carried in a leather case on his
chest. besides the requisite quantity of
thin wire. The end of the wire was con-
nected with the respective towns tele-
phone station. and the wire was, by
means OF a fork ixed at the end of the
lance. thrown over the tops of the trees
along the road. AS each kilometre of
wire was thus suspended a halt was
made, and ascertained whether there
was connection with the station. A new
k~ilornetre of wire was then connected
with the former. and on went the men.
The two sets met at Teltow. The wires,
having been respectively tested with
their respective stations, were connected
and telephone connection between Ber-
lin and Potsdam was established. The
distance is about twenty miles, and the
whole thing was done in about four
hours.-Newark Sunday Call.
