CUTLERY AND sHooTI-ERy.

A Chicagoan just returned from a
trip through the south tells a story Of
a southern negro and his ideas Of war,
as gathered from the newspapers.
The negro was shining the shoes Of the
northerner in an Atlanta hotel and the
conversation naturally turned to the
recent battle of Santiago. The north
erner asked the young colored man
why he didn't Join hands with his
brethren and go down to Cuba to help
free the Cubans and avenge the muir
dered sailors of the Maine.
''Umphl Not me-" replied the col
ored boy. "No. sab. Use bin readin' in

SUMMER SALADS.
\ wholesome and Appetizing Dt.h
About which There Are some
Mistaken Notions.

Tea is a meal that in a great many
country families ,isurps the place of
supper as the evening repast. A tea is
a light, unsubstantial meal which is
peculiarly adapted to summer weather.
The old saying that Fruit is golden in
the morning, silver at midday and
seaden at night" may be applied to all
food, and should be well remembered
In summer. 1t is doubly desirable in
sultry weather that the evening meal
should be light one. The heavier
stews and other substantial dishes
that are so acceptable on the winter
supper table pail upon the taste in hot
weather. A properly seasoned dish of
meat or fish salad takes the place on
the tea table of all other meat dishes
at this season. This is an economical
as well as wholesome course, in spite
of the Nightmares which well-meaning
people used to conjure up at the men-
ton CT lobster or chicken salad.
The fancy of cur Puritan ancestors
that French salad was something as
deleterious TO the digestion as the
typical French morals were to the
character is an old one. This is, no
doubt, the reason why so many con-
scientious women of an older genera
ton cling to the coarse meats and
greasy vegetables of the boiled dinner.
