Antiquity of the LassO.

The lasso is of great antiquity. 1t is said
to be depicted in the ruins of Nineveh An
early Persian man uscript preserved in the
Escorial, shows a sportsman (whom 1 sup
pose royal by his Olympian expression and
careless seat in the act of catching a wild
ass with nicely plated lasso. The mon
arch bestrides a rather stocky-looking
dark-colored horse, with four white feet
and a white face. A bow, Quivers and a
saber are hung from his saddle and a sort
of housing half covers the horse. How
the wild ass is to be restrained even by
the hand of monarch, is not at first sight
evident, for the lasso is neither fixed to
the saddle after the fashion of the gauchos
nor is a half-turn taken round the pommel,
in the style adopted by vaqueros in Mexico
and Texas. Apart from this detail, all is
as realistically set forth as 1t would be
today in a photograph. The horse bears
away from the beast lassoed, and the king
sits little to one side, exactly as a Texan
cowboy or an Argentine gaucho sits under
similar circumstances. 1rises and narcissi
spring up under the horses feet, and an
applauding group of angels peep out of a
cloud. while in the middle distance another
Persian gaucho shoots an antelope with an
arrow while galloping at full speed.
The Laplanders are said to lasso their
reindeer, and the Tartars and modern Aus
tralians use rudimentary lasso fixed to a
tory horses. The Poles, Croatians and
Wallachians, with the Hungarians, seem
to have used the lasso till about the be-
ginning of the present century. A picture
by the German artist Richter shows Polish
remounts for the German cavalry being
lassoed in the Zwinger at Dresden The
horses look as wild as Texan ''broncho'
or an Argentine "gagual." and the attitude
of men and animals, and the way the ropes
are coiled and thrown. are Identical with
: those adopted in Spanish America today.
The lasso appears to run through ring in
the pcmmel of the saddle. It is however,
in Spanish America where the art has been
most developed This is on account of the
open country and the vast numbers of
wild and semi-wild horses which up to the
middle of the present century overspread its
plains.

TABLE MANNERS,
The Self-Sacriiice of Him Who
CQrVcs.

Carvcs.
From the Boston Transcript.
Apropos of table manners, "A Veteran
writes to the Listener: Being the father of
. family in which there are a number Of
young people who go out into society, you
will understand, Mr.. Listener, tina: ms own
table manners are sometimes criticised by
the younger generation, and in that way
table manners are a tender place to touch
in my feelings Now, Henry Ward Beecher
commended that it was as proper to eat with
the knife with the fork. l do not go SO
far as to sustain him in that, but there are
some things at the able that We were
brought up to do in former generations that
l think were better then in table manners
than some table manners are row. Not be-
ing a person of elegant ease, l cannot af-
ford butler; therefore, l do the carving
In the cid way, We were taught to wait I'M
til the carving and helping was done before
beginning to dispose of the food, out of re-
spect TO the carver, and so that he might
have chance to get something to eat and
not come out behind all others at the table;
but modern table manners seem to have
changed all that, and if the carver gets
anything to eat he IS lucky. Modern table
manners also do not appe.-r to regard it as
any way inappropriate to have newspaper
at hand to occupy the waits at table. The
old way was to occupy the time in lively
conversation. and reading paper or book
was d1SreSpectful In modern table man.
Eers there sc ems no incivilty in lighting a
cigarette at the table or in adjourning to
the hall to smoke one while the table is
being cleared for dessert There are many
other innovations in modern table manners
which might be noted, but l think many of
the old ways best
1t is queer father of a family who ex-
poets carve and get ything to eat The
size of the roast may be simply prodigious,
but even II the young people at the table
who were first served do not come around
for a second helping by the time the last
PERSON is served the first time the roast
will probably by that time have got into
that shapeless and refractory condition pc
culiar to roasts, which will incline the
carver to content himself with a little
bread and gravy-or at least to take the
edge off the pangs of hunger with some
thing Of that sort, while he is organizing
a second assault on the roast for the bene-
fit Of the others. By the time he has really
got himself into Il frame Of mind for eating
the others are ready for the next course,
and few people care to occupy the time of
the company with eating, while others
merely look on and wait. Nor vet can the
old-,ime custom of waiting till all we're
served be recommended, since it is more
hygienic. as well more agreeable, to take
food warm rather than cold. The logic of
1t all is don't have the carving done on the
table, but If you must have it done On the
table, let each of the company eat as socn
as he is served, and let paterfamiiias de-
pend on other meals than the dinner for
his proper sustenaEce

Note sounded at UiiIs Burial.

Albany. n. v, Jan lS.-Three demo-
cratic senators and tWp Hssemhlymen
tonight bnlted the caucus called To-
nominate a successor to David II. Hin
for United States senator or those who
rcmaired 70 voted Tor David H. Hill.
three for Wilbur Z. Porter of Water
town and two for Robert &. Titus NJ
Buffalo. The five who voted against
Senator Hill in the caucus viii vote Tor
him on the ballot tomorrow. After
the caucus was called to order, Seua-
tor Guy rose and said During the
recent campaign. while not approving
of some features of the Chicago plat,
form. | believed IL my duty to loyally
support the presidential candidate of
the democratic party, because ] knew
him to he an intelligent. upright and
honorable man, and because ! felt that
the democratic party, more truly than
it's opponents, represented the best in
tercsls of the great body of the people.
More than 100000 voters In the nation
and 55l 900 IN this state displayed like
faith In the democratic party and iis
candidate, Senator Hill. ON the CON
trary. by his inaction aud policy ~ de,
lay, contributed more than any other
single influence To democratic defeat.
To vote for Hill under the circum-
stances would he. in my opinion. to re-
buke those who were loyal. to reward
the general that avoided the conflict
while condemning those brave soldiers
who unilinchingly faced the foe.
The senator's remarks created de-
cided sensation and when he finished
talking there was absolute silence for
a considerable length of time. Finally
Grady offered n resolution instructing
the secretary to call the roll of the eau
Gus, and as each members name was
called he was Ia rise In his seat and
name his choice for senator. Before
the question on this resolution was put.
Senator McNulty got the floor and said
that he agreed generally with the re-
marks of senator Guy, and added that
he would not follow Senator Hin here
after in either state or national ISSUES.
This was the signal for senators Guy
and Coney. and Asscmblymen Cain
and Zurn Ia retire from the caucus
with Senator McNulty. The resolution
of Senator Grady was then adopted
and roll call of the caucus was taken,
resulting as already stated. After the
vote was announced several of the
leaders looked around appealing for
some one To make the nomination
unanimous, but as the motion WAS not
forthcoming. the chair announced that
the choice Of the caucus for United
States senator was David II. Hill. Even
this announcement did not awaken the
slightest applause.
