A CHINESE DINNER.
One Napkin Is Made to Serve the Whole
Company.

Company.
Unlike their neighbors the Japanese,
they do not squat on the floor during
meals, but understand the use and COM
fort of chairs. Most of the dishes of
which the dinner consists are placed be-
forehand on the table, which is there
fore necessarily large one, and is not
graced with cloth. The meal generally
commences with a drink all round, fol-
lowed by sort of hors-d 'Oeuvre, con-
sisting not of dainty appetizing NOR
sells, but of fruit and nuts; then comes
soup, followed by various stews and
meSSes.
It is particularly noticeable, says
Chambers Journal, that all the dishes
are of a decidedly oily flavor, and in
deed this appears Indispensable 10 the
Chinese cook, who, by the way, never
serves his meat roasted as we know it,
but cut up into small pieces, and
stewed or boiled. Between each course
it is a common practice to smoke few
whiffs of tobacco from a pipe to while
away the interval. Like Europeans,
the Chinese place especial stress upon
the ceremony of taking wine with one
another; and It is considered as par.
ticular compliment to your neighbor
should you condescend to take up a
morsel with your chopstick and place it
In his mouth.
At the close of the meal one of the
walters goes round with forbidding.
looking napkin, which he dips into a
bowl of water and hands to each per.
son in turn, to wipe his mouth and
hands with; and, as may be imagined,
the attention is not much relished when
it comes to the turn of the last person
at the table.

THEY WOULDN'T EAT EN-.
Sad Experience of q Chicagoan Who Got
tho Peanut Concession at Antwerp.

u
the Peanut Concession at Antwerp.
Americans eat good many things
unknown to Europeans and others
which the people on the other side
would not eat even if they had a chance.
Bananas, sweet potatoes, popcorn and
peanuts are almost unknown in Europe.
A young Chicagoan did not know this,
and it cost him several thousand dollars
to find it out. He returned from the
Antwerp exposition, where he expert
mented with the sale of popcorn and
peanuts, and the stories he tells of his
experiences are amusing.
Il knew the concesSionnaires at the
worlds fair in Chicago earned money
out of nickel bags of popcorn and pea
nuts" he said. THE firm who had the
concession here made something like
one hundred thousand dollars. had
four or five thousand dollars saved up
for a good investment, and so when the
fair closed here made application for
the sole concession of the sale of pea
nuts at Antwerp. There were no COM
petitors and l got the concession. Now
l wish had not. l bought up all the
popcorn and peanut roasters left over
from the fair and went down south and
purchased a car load of peanuts and
made contracts for several other car
loads to be shipped later on. But did
not need them. The paraphernalia, to-
gether with several hundred bags of
old corn and peanuts, went over and 1
followed it. After weeks of hard work
was ready for business. But there
was none. Money is less plentiful in
Europe than in the United States.
Those people over there thought as
much of five centimes as an American
thinks of half dollar. saw l had to
make low price for my stuff, so put
the popcorn and peanuts on sale at
fifteen centimes bag, which is equal
to three cents in United States money.
Well, had my hopes built up and be-
fore l started to sell dreamt of bags
full of twenty-franc gold pieces and
what would do with them when got
back to Chicago. You can imagine my
surprise when l saw what the first
woman did who had induced her COM
panion to buy bag of popcorn. She
bit piece in two, looked scared, and
then exclaimed in French: Why, it is
cork. The Americans want to poison
u.s.
Her companion tasted the corn and
jabbered something in French, and
then took the whole bag and threw it
away. When l saw this was ready to
faint. One after another the popcorn
bags found their way to the floor. My
hopes shattered, still had confidence
in the peanuts. But they did not like
them either. They broke the shells,
took out the nuts, hull and all, munched
them and then cried 'b-r-r-r,' and the
peanuts went the way of the popcorn.
How did come out? l came out and
that is about all. l staid there six
weeks, and after l lost all my money
started to see some of the continent.
Now, am glad l am in Chicago, and
don't want anything to do with pea
nuts or popcorn in Europe hereafter 1t
has been lesson to me, and paid five
thousand dollars for it, still guess it is
worth its price"

A Good Brew.

The October brew of homemade beer
was the celebrated one in Bucks, and
the farmer made it of sufficient strength
by means of eight bushels of malt to
the hogshead of tiftyfour imperial gal
Ions. Once, in an Outlaying village in
Bucks, the rector on a certain Sunday
gave out as the text, First Hebrews,
nine and ten" Whereupon an old
fashioned farmer, renowned for his
good tap, called out: And a very pretty
tipple, too. l brews eight"

Thunderstorms Not Equatorial.

Some have an idea that the thunder

three hundred and thirty-fve, while in

Rubbers for Dogs.

Rubbers for dogs are the newest
products of civilization. The street car
companies strew salt to melt the snow
and this makes the feet of dogs sore.
But these canine rubbers are high priced
and each dog needs two pair. In the
Arctic zone the toes of dogs that are
USED to pull sleds are protected by a
sort of leather toe piece fastened with
thongs.

GERS of this district have had reasons to
believe that moonshiners have been ac-

vocation in the woods around Alliance,

Lubrasky is a Russian, aged about
IS years, and prior to coming to this
country, ten years ago, was a distiller
in Russia. Last year he applied for a
