FOREIGNERS AT TABLE.
English Have Best Manners When it
Comes to Eating.

Comes to Eating.
It'd Bits: The English are admitted
by unprejudiced foreigners to be the
most refined eaters in the world. To
see q we'll bred Englishman go through
the various stages of his dinner is to
have lesson in the art of graceful
eating.
Very different is the behavior of the
Russian, who does not disdain to use
natures weapons when he considers
the later more CONVENIENT than knife
and fork.
The Frencbmsn will use q piece of
bread in nearly all cases where he
should use knife.
The German on the other hand
plurges his knife into his mouth in q
way that is terrifying.
The Swt de cuts up all of his food
into tiny pisces first of all, and then,
having laid aside his knife, proce eds
to take up piece by piece with his
fork.
The Italian uses a spoon quite as Of
ten rs fork. He will employ the
former for vegetables, and sometimes
even for fish. The latter use of the
spoon Is somewhat curious.
Tue Japanese diner uses chop-sticks,
form of impleme Mt sOmew b at d ifficult
to manipulate without considerable
practice, while the Chinaman tears his
food with his long nails in a manner
thoroughly repulsive.
The Greek swallows his meat in huge
mouthfuls and would probably devour
a steak wei ghing half pound in half
q minute. Taking a very sharp knife
he divides { e meat into four or five
st ctions, each of " hich he flipgs into
mis- mouth in rapid succession. It is
not 10 be wondered at that the Greeks
suffer SO much from Indigestion.

Leaves of hope that time has killed

he pays into the association the rent for
it, and by the time they all have homes
and have paid their rent for a certain
time the homes are paid for, the rent time

This is what may be called cooperation
