Convenient. surely.

A Partisan house furnisher is now
introducing novel little appliance for
the carving at the table Of chicken and
other small fowl. The new instrument
is composed Of long, curved blade, to
which a very much shorter blade is
fastened in scissors fashion. This will
permit the host to carve the chicken
properly and serve the joints, and clip
thin bones with the greatest ease and
absolute absence OF difficulty. 1t is a
good thing, no doubt, but If people
have the chicken and small fowl they
won't starve to death for lack OF the
new carver.

In THE CoUNTRY.

About the only piece Of tailoring
ever attempted, said well-known jour.
nalist. "crested such q sensation that
never tried it again.
81 was out on q tramp in Southern
Oregon and had been warned in advance
by my companions on the trip to put on
my oldest clothes, and to put an extra
pair OF heavy woolen socks in my pocket.
/ followed their advice and the result
was that ct the end Of the first day
found had worn my trousers out from
resting too frequently on jagged rocks
aud old stumps.
"In the afternoon we stopped at a
farm house. and were provided with ac-
commodations for the night. There were
several young ladies in the family, and
they informed us that Q dance was to be
given in the barn that night and we we're
expected to go. tried to get out Of it,
but couldn't, 80 consented to go il they
would provide me with the necessary
needle and thread.
''Onr room was in the garrett, which
was reached by step ladder on the out
side OF the house. / was Just climbing
it when the young ladies came running
out to ask me il they couldn't do my sew
ing for me. scrambled up the ladder
as fast as could. but q series Of explo-
sive giggles convinced me that hadn't
climbed fast enough.
II hadn't asked for bit OF cloth, and
the only thing l had to patch my trous-
ers with were the tops of my red woolen
socks. Red patches were better than
none, so on they went. was just back.
ing down the ladder again. when all Of
the neighbcring girls arrived, and the
shout Of applause that greeted my sp-
pearance nearly shook me off the ladder.
II faced them boldly. l didn't dare
turn my back, and by the time the dance
came of i had grown so accustomed to
my red patches that didn't care. IL.

Some growers claim to have obtained q

and the real seed does not mature in this
country. In digging it is impossible to

about one foot high they will not appear
again. At this time old tubers are de-
eayed, and the new ones are not matured
enough to grow. hence they must die.
Another way to eradicate them is TO fol-
low with any good cultivated crop. This
will kill them. When planting cut the
seed the same as for potatoes, one eye on
piece, and plant three feet by Is inches
apart. Dig late In the Fall and put into
apt or cellar.

We are advised by Mr.. j. W.
Alexander, the popular insurance
agent in the Daigre building on
Second street, that the Southeast
ern Tariff Association has made a
rrduc ion in rates Of Insurance in
alexandria averaging about 25 per
cent Oh brick mercantile risks. On
frame bulldogs about 10 per cent.
These reductions, which go into
operation Immediately, are made
entirely on account of our efficient
water supply. But if other facili
ties for the extinguishment of fires
a"e increased, in accordance with
the sugg7 stions Of their represen-
alive, who was hers several,
weeks ago, still further reductions
will be made, watch will apply to

BLUNDERS OF SPEAKERS.
A Well Known Orator Points Out Some
Humorous Instances

A Well known Orator Points Out Some
Humorous Instances.
Mr.. Joseph Malins, himself we'll
known pt.blic speaker, gives The Wom-
ans Signal some amusing instances Of
the bumors CT public speaking. 1t is,
be thinks, luck CT fue,cy that causes
the speaker 20 often TO blurder. Mr.
Mains has hs.end to /. temperance ora
tor deplerlnS the fact that q friend re-
sorts to "the frequent use of the daily
glass" lie heard notabls lady speaker
speak Of slCnl children brought into
the world with no more idea Of home
comfort than the children of negroes in
Africa
One speaker said, 81 rise emphatic-
ally. - and another said, 81 stan: pros
trate with Advertisements. Yet another
feelingly told bis audience that it was
''not the platform speaker, but tie
house to Leuse visitation and the utter
ance Of the silent word by the caller
which did the most good" The state
ments that "the previous speakers sag
gestions were very suggestive" and that
another speIt1er's remarks vera snlis-
calculated to mislead' Mr.. Mains also
mentions.
Then there is the speaker who always
misp,aoes his chs" and who prays "that
we might be brought to the halter. :"
There was Eight Of fancy when tho
speaker asked, Suppose if a modern
balloon droppsd upon an uninhabited
island, what would the natives say?'
The scientific lecturer said Ct his COM
ing experiment. that sail depends upon
the present condition Of the body abcat
to be created. . A town councillor spoke
Of "the rivers and streams that abut
en- the bsrough boundaries. Among
Mr.. Malin's other examples is the spesS-
er who began with saying, "The proper
study Of mankind in general is the--the
study of mankiad in general" where
upon an urchin in the audience cried
out, You e a-goin in at the sams hole
you came cut at. -
No less embarrassed was the old gen.
tlemen, who, stumbling through an
after dinner speech, sad, "I-I have
Dc more 40 sey, and so-snd so-I'll
make few Hore remarks" The build
er frankly declared be was "more fitted
fer the scahold than the platform. :"
Sometimes the chairman efrs in well
coming the speaker. A chairman was
heard to welcome speaker ss ore "who
is always with us, and we wish he
would come ostener." Kind was the an
nouncement that "there will be two
more opportunities to hea< the lecturer
once more. I, WAS when tie meeting
ended that tie chairman aeked the au-
dience to 'oioss by singing just one
verse OF tie dcSclosy.

An Independent Tramp.

One day last week, a fine look
ing, healthy tramp went to thu
residence of Mr.. Albert Bring
hurst on lower THIRD street and
asked for something to eat. Mrs.
Bringhurst told him that if he
would carry few boxes of Goa!
from the yard and deposit it in the
cisteru house, she would comply
with his request. He agreed to
the proposition and performed the
job so far as the removal of the
coal was concerned.
In the interval, it being between
meals and nothing hot prepared.
Mrs. Bringhurst warmed up the
office left from break fast and gave
b IN very nice spread of cold
meat, bread, potatoes ct cetera,
She supposed, of course, that he
would appreciate the efforts she
had made to appease his hunger,
but was greatly surprised to hear
a commotion in the dining room
and upon repairing thither, was
informpdtby the servant girl that
his Lordsbip had "turned up
his nose" ut the meal, had don.
ned his bat and left the dining
room with the remark, that "sucl,
a meal was enough to make man
commit suicide"
His trampship is ungratefal at
all times and under all circum.
stances. He thinks the world
owes, him q living and he Is no fas-
tidious in his tastes and 80 much
upon the epicurean order, that he
is quite particular in the kind OF
diet set before him.
OF course, he prefers turkey to
bacon and will be On hand about
Christmas. But the tramp prob
lem is easy of solution. If the Ia.
dies will adopt and rigidly adhere
to the practice of refusing to give
him anything to eat, he will soon
"skip" the town and seek a more
hospitable locality.
