HOW NATIONS EAT.
Americans the Most Dainty and Greek
the Most Reckless.

The English and Americans are adj
mitted by all unprejudiced foreigners
to be the most refined eaters in the
world To see them go through the va
rlous stages of their dinners is to have
a lesson in the art of graceful eating.
says an exchange.
Very different is the behavior of the
russian, who does not disdain to use
natures weapons when he considers the
latter more convenient than the knife
and fork
The Frenchman will use a piece Of
bread in nearly all cases where he
should use a knife. The German. on
the other hand, plunges his knife into
his mouth in way that is terrifying.
The Swede cuts up all his food into
tiny pieces first Of ALL and then. hav-
ing laid aside his knife, proceeds to
take up piece by piece with his fork.
The Italian uses spoon quite as Of
ten as fork. He will employ the for
NOR for vegetables, and sometimes even
for flsh. The latter use of the spoon is
somewhat curious.
The japanese diner uses chopsticks,
a form OF implement somewhat difficult
to manipulate without considerahie
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 devoiir
a steak weighing half pound in half
q minute. Taking a very sharp knife
he divides the meat into four or five
sections, each of which he filings into his
mouth in rapid succession. IT is nnt Ia
be wondered at that the Greeks suffer
much from indigestion.

LOCAL HOUSES OPEN.

The Park Theatre opens its doors this
week after its summer rest, and with
the Worcester Theatre in easy running
order, the theatrical season of $4,000
may be considered inaugurated so far
as this city is concerned. The Park
heads a strong opening bill with Co.

non and later a popular prima donna
in comic opera and burlesque. The
Worcester will be lighted on Thursday
and-Euday only, with the clever farce,
In Paradise" but in another week the
flow of attractions will become continu-
Gus. A praiseworthy reform which the
new management of this house proposes
to introduce, appears in prominent lines
on the program, as follows THE cur

admirable improvements it is lived
up to.

A candidate for an Irish county conn

A Dublin paper conveys the informal
ton that Mr.. David c. Devine has
just taken out a patent for a bicycle
which may have an important effect
on cycle manufacture if generally
adopted. Each wheel has two rims. The
inner one is connected to the hub by
the ordinary means of spokes, but be-
tween the inner and outer rims is an
arrangement of fiat springs, having one
end fastened firmly to the outer rim
while the other end is fastened bv
yielding slot connection to the inner
rim. 1t is claimed that this combina-
ton is more comfortable to ride than
the pneumatic tire, and there is a wider
range of movement.

A GRAND CELEBRATION
of the Glorious Fourth.
WARREN W a 4 ,.ll DOES . HER i
SELF PROUD.
A DAY OF PATRIOTISM AND FUN.

On the day before the Fourth the
outlook for a successful celebration
of the country's natal day was not
the very best. It rained heavily in
the morning, and even towards eve
ming dark clouds gathered in the
sky. Even upon the dawn of the
Fourth threatening clouds hung in
the heavens. But almost unexpect-
eddy the sky cleared and the sun came
out in all his glory and majesty,
making an ideal day. The threaten
ing attitude Of the weather, however,
and the poor condition Of the roads
deferred many from coming to our
celebration. AS it was, the attend
,ance was not as large as we have had
some other years, yet what was lack
ing in numbers was more than made
up in patriotism and enthusiasm.
Warren people had never shown them
selves more patriotic than on this &C.
casion. The stores made patriotic
displays in their show windows, and
flags and bunting were displayed
Everywhere. The whole city was in
holiday attire.
About IL o'clock u. m, the people
formed in procession in front of the
school house and marched to the
beautiful city park where the exer-
cises we're held. The Argyle band,
the Warren Silver Cornet band in
unique patriotic uniforms, the War
rem Fire department., the officers OF
the day and speaker in carriages,
the calithumpians in their gro tesque
array cutting up all sorts Of capers,
and the citizens in carriages
and on foot made a long and fine
procession.
Arriving at the park there was
first music by the hand after which
Rev. ~. II. NJ. clark invoked Godss
blessing upon the exercises. Next
followed an eloquent and patriotic
address of welcome by Hon A. Grin
deland, President Of the Day. The
Glee Club rendered q song, the band
played another selection and then
