TABLE SILVER.
1t, Too, Follows the Principle Of the Div!-
sion of Labor.

I buu, oil'"S nv Iih''Vts ~ Divi~
sion of Labor.
Unless money is not stringent or
there is IA large family of relatives to
make her manifold gifts of beauty and
utility the average housekeeper finds
that the growing multiplicity of table
requirements in small silver taxes her
powers of keeping up" both as an CD"
server and a purchaser.
In the days of our grandmothers and
even II mothers, Il table was con-
sidercd well appointed which had n
silver service consisting of Il towering
coffee urn, a tea pot, cream pitcher,
sugar bowl and spoon holder. Table
spoons were used for helping berries
and preserves, and either those or
dessert spoons were pressed into serv.
ice for soup spoons. The idea of hav-
ing to use a separate and elaborate
table ~utensil for the serving of each
particular dish would have been
thought a very unnecessary addition
to the trials of womankind.
But to-day the granddaughtcrs Of
those good houskeepcrs would not in
vite their friends to dinner unless they
have soup spoons for the consomme, a
heavily chased fish set for serving the
salmon, as we'll as individual fish forks
and plates for the guests. She thinks
she would be ostracized il for the roast
and vegetable course the diners did not
find the regular implements beside
them. Ice cream forks she must have,
and to be guilty of placing chocolate
spoons, with their half inch greater
length of handle, for coffee spoons
would, she is sure, bring down-not the
wrath; that is not dreaded-the smile
of her sophisticated friends.
She would not, for the world, substi-
tute a breakfast fork, as her mother
did, for the neat and appropriate tri-
dents of to-day when blue points are to
be partaken Of; neither would she
have the temerity to dish out straw
berries with one of her duplicate salad
spoons.
In the days of these same grand
mothers and mothers the appraiser
used to 20 around and weigh the silver,
collecting the tax upon it, and what
those housewives would have done il
they had had to throw into the balance
all the bon bon and sugar spoons, the
cake lifts, the bread trays, the olive
forks and butter-ball spears, the al
mond and cheese scoops and the count
less other small pieces of sterling which
are now considered essential to a well
equipped table, one fails to imagine

THE PRESIDENT SMILES.
lingo Republican Editors In n Ridiculous
Light.

PRESIDENT tleFelanu ~ BFeuIiy
amused at the predicament Of some of
his republican editorial friends. His
amusement is caused by their discom-
future over his foreign policy. He has
q clerk in the white house whose duty
it is to look over the large pile Of eX-
changes which come daily, and clip
therefrom and paste into a scrap-booS
everything calculated to interest the
chief executive. Shortly after his re-
turn home the president called for this
book, and the first prominent feature
to catch his eye was the denuncia-
tons of the government by the repub'
lican editors, because of Spain not be-
ing called promptly to account for the
insult to the Stars and Stripes on board
of the Allianca. The afternoon of the
morning ON which these editorials
were published the Evening Telegram
printed Washington dispatches, stat
ing that Secretary Gresham had, in
very blunt language, called on Spain
for Il prompt disavowal of the insult,
and had warned her that such things
in the future would not be tolerated.
This dispatch to Minister Taylor had
been sent before the editorials referred
to were printed, and the discontinue of
the republican writers was very keen.
A prominent republican newspaper
man of this city said that it was the
tightcst fix he had ever gotten into. He
had sent a dispatch the night before
characterizing the failure of the adj
ministration to demand immediate ac-
acknowledgement of the wrong, as some-
thing quite in harmony with its previ-
Gus record, and had wound up by say
ing that Anybody familiar with Cieve-
lands foreign policy could have no
doubt that there would be delay and
temporization and further contunely
hcaped upon this country. The next
dav, when he learned what Secretary
Gresham had done, he said that he
spent an evening connecting means to
get out of his unpleasant p~redicament,
and at a late hour wired his paper that
wnilo Secretary Gresham had acted
with commendable and surprising
promptness in the Alliance matter,
there is no doubt that had the prcsi-
dent been here no such message would
have been sent to Minister Taylor, and
the affair would have been permitted
to drag along greatly to IL discredit.
Then came the Venezuela and
Nicaragua Incidents, and each was fol,
lowed by caustic editorials in certain
republican papers, which had failed tc
profit by experience, and which declared
that here were additional insult,
which we would be compelled t.
swallow. These editors found within
the next twenty-four hours that they
had run into a blind alley of fact show
ing the contrary to be true. They
learned in these dispatches that the
president had already instructed
Ambassador Bayard to urge on Great
Britain that the Venezuela boundary
dispute be submitted to arbitration
They also learned that the presiden'
and Secretary Gresham had conferred
on the Nicaragua question, and hat
determined that every %precautioi
should be taken to prevent a violation
of the Monroe doctrine. Such is tn,
only kind of reading that the presidcn
has been indulging of late, and, to re
peat, he enjoys it-N. y. Telegram.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS,

slightly too wheezy and pursy for a
long run.-Albany Argus.
AS American woolens make their
way in the British markets, English
gold heads for Uncle Sans pockets

Republican harmony is getting
to be so thick and solid that it can be
harvested by enterprising ice dealers
and sold by the hundred weight.-Al-
bany Argus.
observing the recent career of
his distinguished rival, Mckinley, Tom
Reed has wisely decided to make no
public speeches this year.-Chicago
Times-llcrald.
Most of the republican governors
are so busy chasing presidential bees
that they get comparatively little time
to devote to the duties of the offices to
which they have been elected.--Albany
Argus.
Now Gov. Mckinley is on record
he declares that If the republican
party should declare for free silver he
| would leave it forever. Now the &. O.
p. has something definite to figure
| from.-Detroit Free Press.
1t may be worth while to observe
| that the revenues of the government
are increasing every day, and that the
talk of further bond issues has been
abandoned by the most rabid republic
ans.-Kansas City Times.
Gov. Mckinley cannot get ovcr
lifting up his voice and %proclaiming
| that the last bond issue was made in
secret. 1t was not half as much II Sc
cret as are the majors views on the
| silver question.-Detroit Free Press.
The most significant feature Of
| the call which has been issued for n
| convention OF the Republican National
| league Is the claim which is made of
! accretions. The claim is that the re-
publicas party has gained Large num-
bcrs Of protection democrats and pop

whatever is necessary In the way
Of platform promise to retain these

/! league meets. The platform will ba
