Table Decorations.
By way of floral table decoration, ice
baskets are in the height of favor just
now. They are cut from block of solid
Ice, carved as marble might be carved,
then filled with flowers, the handles slight
ly wound or hung with delicate tendrils Of
greenery, and placed upon a bed of dark
1ohage. Sometimes an electric light is
placed In the ice basket among the flow

habit is due to a stupid fashion rather than
to ungenial intentions. Curiously enough,
when English women run against this de-
pressing custom beyond their own island
they feel as aggrieved by it as if the
golden rule CT kindness was the watch
word of their own London receptions.
At an afternoon musicale given in for
eign capital by an American lady of wealth
and distinction, an English lady. just ar
rived in town, also of wealth and distinc-
ton, was among the guests. When she
entered the drawing room she received a
shake Of the hand from, the hostess, was
given words of welcome and assigned to a
very comfortable chair; but she was not
introduced to one Of the group standing
and sitting about her, or to any one, in
fact, either directly or indirectly. Her
glanceS wandered around tho room in the
faint expectation that some one would .ap-
pear whom she had met before. But all
were strangers, and, moreover, were likely
to remain strangers. I, too, was stranger
there ana the musicians notes seemed
tangled by my reflections. / felt that a
hostess should not invite her friends If she
is to impose the burden of solitude upon
them: neither do we accept invitations for
the sake of being thrust into the mood of
the Hebrews beside the waters of Babylon.
During one of the pauses between the
musical numbers an American woman, for
tunate enough to count a few acquaint-
anceS In the crowd, although no credit FOR
this was due to her entertainer, crossed
the rcom, let loose all the sweet sociability
she pc sseSsed, and did what she could to
lift the heavy cloud of monotony that had
been permitted to rest upon the English
stranger. When the program was ended
and adieus were being said, I overheard
this remark: Il have received many kind
nesses in my travels, but must give the
first place to your gracious rescue this af-

To Attain Social Popularity.
Owing to the dimensions that society has
| now reached. and consisting, in great
measure, Of people brought together with
the slightest knowledge of each other,
social affairs are necessarily crushed to a
certain degree of inertness by the isolation
to which a crowd is liable to condemn in
dividuals. But the women prominent in
the best New York society are releasing
themselves from the notwithstanding re-

The other morning an English lady who
desired to take the portrait Of a ragged
but picturesque Moor whom she met on
the street got him in position. but found
upon examination that she had neglected to
bring an important part of her kodak. So
she ran back to the hotel, two blocks away.
She there met some dear friends from Lon
don who had just arrived; so she forgot all
about the Moor and the kodak. After din
ner, o'clock, she remembered; SO with an
escort she hurried to the spot. There the
old Moor sat, just as she had left him,
facing the instrument.

had been there since 10 o'clock am. Of that
day, but the business of sitting still suited
him. The English lady. Of course, gave
him penny to go and buy a farm with.

Out Into the Country.

Last Monday we drove out into the
country little to see what kind Of a
place it was. We followed Grand ave-
nue.. or the old Eighteenth street,
out about FIVE miles and through East
Superior, when we obliqued to the
right and a mile or so further on came
10 the cosev little hamlet of South
Range. This usually lively little place
generally having gone into Superior or
OF p;cnicing to celebrate Labor Day in
Z becoming manner, and the mills and
all business places were closed and
quiet. They have q good saw mill with
shingle and planning mill attachments, 4
good hotel, post office, general store,
a fine Town Hall, school house, fire
hall, church. etc. \ large tank for
water supply for fire emergencies has
Just been completed, and the place
generally wore the aspect Of CONNER
cal prosperity.
Passing through the village we again
turn 10 the right and after delightful
ride of about two miles through the
Range and {. ). StarkWeather' farm
where lie is doing good deal Of work
along the line Of developing Douglas
county. lie has an excellent house
built Of hewn logs which stands on
high sloping ground, and has about ten
acres cleared and about five acres under
the Plow. His resident manager was
taking out q big pine stump when we
very simple, and, we think, even beats
granger Wen4er's stump litter. lie has
lcng two-inch auger with which he
bores hole deep into the main root at
the base Of the stump. He then inserts
a dynamite cartridge about the size of a
small bologna sausage. lights the fuse
and the dynamite does the rest. The
stump be was working on when we ar
rived lay on the ground when we came
back in the afternoon, but we neglected
10 ask him about how long it would
take him to disIodge a stump-probabIy
about an hour. One thing Is greatly
lacking here, and that is water, but we
were told that well was to be sunk
this fall just back Of the house, which
will remedy that defect. The principal
crop this season is oats which Will be

this piece Of land and sunk the first

county, and the marks Of his faith and
energy remain unto this day and may
