Black Art I'm Eating.

Although the culinary has in the last
20 ,'ears made rapid strides, there is
certain sameness about dinner-parties
which. to the habitual diner-out, comes
but little. short of dull monotony. A
lady in Kensington originated the idea
of giving every year memorial dinner
on the anniversary of her husbands
death. The dining-room was draped for
the occasion in mauve and black.
The tablecloth was of mauve silk, and
the only decorations used were violets.
The ladies were gowned either in black
or mauve, and the footmen were
dressed in black breeches and coats
and mauve silk stockings. On either
side of the hostess sat two black
poodles, excellently clipped after the
approved French fashion, with mauve
co.ored bows on their necks. The
menu was remarkable for the absence
of any color in the viands, save mauve,
the rest being either black or white.

JOHN WAS MIXED UP.
With Him the Typewriter and the
CSrI Uare One md the Same

With Him the Typewriter and the
Girl Were One and the Same.
John was an Office boy, but was big
enough to appreciate the good-looking
girl when he saw one. He was nice
dresser, and withal quite fine ap-
pearing boy. He was not well salts
fed with his position, but his ambition
was such that he hoped one day to be
n stenographer and master of a type
writer. Keeping this in view, he had al
ways practiced on a machine in the
office. Indeed, all his spare time was
put in that way, says the Cincinnati
Commercial Tribune.
One day his employer passed through
the office, and noting John at work,
as he had noted him 100 times before,
he said: John, you're always trying
to work that typewriter. What do ex-
pect to do in the future?"
John got red in the face, and he Won
dered who had been giving him away
in that fashion.
'Who told you SOP" he stammered
out.
"Oh," said the man, lone of the boys
told me about it."
Il know who did that" said John. at
was Charley. He tried to work that
typewriter girl over there in the pink
waist, and just because beat his time
he had to give the snap away to you, sir.
I'll get even with him."
And even to this day they guy
John as to how he gave himself
away and mixed the girl and the ma

lie WAS so careful of it on his way home
that he would not have 1t checked. He
occupied ii seat with an old German
farmer woman and she entertained him
with the gossip of her social surround

choice fool In the basket reached her
nostrlls.and while arousIng her curiosity
whetted her appetite. When Cleveland
was reached the captain CALAMITY took
her satchei and escorted her to the door.
The old lady took the basket and follow

captain for his assistance took her depart

utes after the captain inquired for his
basket, he was cold the old lady took it

good thing to sm other. The utterance
OF the word basket" will now make the
captain run for home and lock himself

IVORY USED BY THE ANClENTS.
Relics Show ThRt the Prehistoric

Relics Show THAI the Prehistoric
Races Knew It's Value.
The earliest recorded history-we
might say prehistoric, the hieroglyph-
ical-that has come down to us has
been in carvings on ivory and bone,
says Appletons' Popular Science Month
ly. Long before metallurgy was known
among the prehistoric races, carvings
on reindeer horns and mammoth tusks
evidence the antiquity of the art. Frag-
ments of horn and ivory, engraved with
excellent pictures of animals, have been
found in caves and beds of rivers and
lakes. There are specimens in the
British museum, also in the Louvre, of
the Egyptian skill in ivory carving, at
tributed to the age of Moses. In the
latter collection are chairs or seats of
the sixteenth century B. c., inlaid with
ivory, and other pieces of the eleventh
century, B. c. We have already re-
ferred to the Nineveh worries. Carving
of the precious substance" was extern
sively carried on at Constantinople DUR
ing the middle ages; combs, baskets,
horns, boxes, etc, of carved ivory and
bone, often set in precious stones, of
the old Roman and Anglo-Saxon periods
are frequently found in tombs. Cruel
fixes and images of the Virgin and
saints made in that age are often grace
full and beautiful. The Chinese and
japanese are rival artists now in their
peculiar minutiae and detail

BURNING WUEitN.
Satisfying the Savage Human In
stinct of Cruelty.

Satisfying the Savage Human In
stinct of Cruelty.
The horI ;ble punishment of burning
women alive seems to have existed in
Saxon, England, but perhaps only iu
the case of slaves, says the Athenaeum.
Under the Norman rulers, any woman.
bond or free, who killed her husband
was burned alive, and the same punish
ment for this crime, and also for high
treason, and even for coming and other
minor offenses, continued or arose from
time to time through the second and
third periods until it was abolished by
act of parliament in 1890, the last actual
execution of this kind having, however.
taken place six years earlier. The whip
ping of women for various offenses con-
tinued even later; public whipping
was not abandoned until 1917, and cases
of private whipping occurred rs late as
1920.
There can be no doubt, we think. that
the savage human instinct of cruelty
had something to do with the barbarous
punishments above mentioned. As the
old Roman public lcnged for the
carna1s of the circus, as the Spanish
populace crowded to the auto-da-fe in
the fourishing days of the inquisition,
SO the lower (perhaps not only the low
err strata of English nationality took
delight in witnessing fortunes which,
In all probability, were devised and
kept MP partly for their entertainment.
Mr.. Cleveland tells US that Jrdpe
Jeifreys, in sentencing woman to be
whipped, is reported to have said:
"Hangman, charge you to pay par
tcular attention to this lady. Scourge
her till her blood runs down. 1t is
christmas time, cold time for madam
TO strip; see that you burn her shout
.ers thoroughly"

IT is fact which the people of Mani.
towoc should know that owners of yes
sells which bring coal to Lake Michigan
ports, discriminate against ManItowoc
because of the condition OF tie upper
harbor. There is difficulty in reaching
the coal docks on Wisconsin Central
property because of insufficieLcy of wa
ter. One of the boats lately was delay ed
a week because nf an injury to her wheel
due to lack OF water. The coalers are
all big ones now and there is not sntfici-
ent water for them to get to the old coal
docks on the G. & n. W., without him
drance.
The dock line of the Visions IN Central
coal docks should be extended so as to
prevent washing 10, and additional dredg-
ing is imperative. Every resident of
Manltowoc, both city and county, cannot
fail to perceive that our future depends
upon the condition of our harbor The
good that has come to the city from the
harbor improvements is apparent to all.
The business of the city has been great
ly enlarged by it and there has been con
segment growth. The work must be per.
sisted In, particularly when it is clear
that results will follow. The demands
OF commerce upon our harbor have al
ready exceeded the improvements made.
Our policy should be to keep ahead Of
demands rather than have them press

There is no express power in the Con

QUinino Music

In 1872 John Suite, of ST. Louis, was
seized with a bad attack of malaria. and
took quinine to fight it Off. One day,
during particularly bad chill, he took
81 grains at time, and from that mo-
meDt, it is said, he has not slept wink
The enormous dose produced such
ringing noises in his head that sleep
had been impossible. Suite says that
sometimes the noises resemble the roar
of a great cataract falling hundreds of
feet upon rocks below; again they
sound like sawmill where great logs
are being ripped apart by buzzing
saws, then there are crashes as of thun-
der and the kissing of escaping steam;
always myriad of hideous noises ring
ing and echoing through his brain.
