CARVING AS AN ART.
1t Should Be Taught to Every Child
Because 1t Is Now Considered
an Accomplishment.

Only persistent practice and definite
knowledge make carving q pleasure
and a success Neither illustration nor
diagrams are of much assistance in
learning this art. AS a distinguished
authority on carving says in his mon
ograph on the subject: illustrations
cannot prove hopeful because the &C
tual thing before us bears faint re-
semblance to pictures, these being able
to give US only surfaces, with no hints
of what may be inside"
By right of precedence the carver's
chair belongs to the head of the house,
either father or mother, but WEAKNESS,
preoccupation, or, more often, a pa
rents pleasure in contemplating the in
creasing deftness of a clever son or
daughter in presiding over and prop
erly distributing joint, fowl or fish.
leads the elders to resign in favor of
the youth when guests are not present.
Carving at the table, it is said, is now
considered not only useful art, but
social accomplishment aswell. a prac-
teal knowledge of its process should
be a part of the education of all young
people.
Children should know how to carve
by the time they are Is years old. In
France boy is required to take his
turn in cutting and serving meats at
table as soon as he is strong enough 10
handle the knife and tall enough to
readily reach the joint or fowl. Some
times he stands upon a broad stool
made for the purpose, and he is proud
when he is successful, and ashamed
when found mperfect.-Chicago Times

the four-pieced skirt, if full directions
are carried out; but with little decep-
ton it can be accomplished with just a
little more than half as many.
In the former case, four little over
skirts are made separately and put on
the same band. In the latter tounda-
ton skirt of silk or imitation silk is
made and the miniature skirts sewed
upon it, each overlapping the other
enough to hide the heading so that a
separate effect is maintained. The skirt
has an abbreviated train and slightly
sweeps the ground all around. There
are no gathers nor plaits at the back
and the opening is made upon the side
to preserve an unbrollen beauty of out
line. Any bodice can be worn with the
four-pieced skirt, and it is particularly
dressy with the novel new silk waists
that are so much the vogue.

A morning robe that is both pretty

background of pale yellow. Nine yards
of material are required to make such
gown for a person of medium height
with half yard of rose, green or deep
cream brilliantine for the yoke and
band around the foot of the skirt.

Consumption of Cereals.

If our advice were asked regarding
the consumption of cereals we would
give it emphatically, never eat oat-
meal every morning, but alternate it
with other cereals, such as corn, wheat
and rye, which are manufactured in
such variety of form that you have no
need of duplicating your breakfast food
but once in two weeks. 1t has been def
initely shown that the continuous use
OF oatmeal by the Scotch people has
caused more cases of dyspepsia than
any other known food Robert Mitchell
