take his meals with the honestest man
in the world who ate with his knife
and made a gurgling noise in taking
his soup.
Most dinners begin with soup. At
formal dinners oysters or CLAIMS are
served as a preliminary course, but
soup is considered of itself proper be-
ginning of the important meal OF the
day.
Soup is served in plates, not bowls.
The soup spoon is laid on the right Of
the plate.
The soup plate should never be filled
to the rim of the bowl part of the plate.
It is not. allowable to ask for a second
helping of soup.
Soup is eaten with a tablespoon, not
a dessert spoon, such as one is fur-
nished with at some of the restaurants.
In taking the soup up, dip the spoon
from you in the plate; drink or eat 1t
for the proper term is in dispute
from the side next you, and never from
the tip of the spoon.
This is where the mustache misery
sets IN.
For you may not take soup except
from the side, and then you must do
it without the noise or 4ound. A man
with a mustache must use his napkin
after each mouthful and remove all
evidence of the liquid.
Nothing is so vulgar as the Kissing
sound which only an unrefined man or
woman makes when partaking of a
liquid.
OF course one must not cool ones
portion of soup by blowing on it.
And beware of the temptation to tip
the plate so as to catch the last spoon
full.
Soup is only intended as prepara-
ton for the remainder of the meal.
Do not appear to regard it as the en-
tire feast.
Sherry wine is served with soup at
a formal dinner, and is always appro-
pirate with this course.
Bread is served with soup. 1t must
not be broken into the soup, but should
be eaten in fragments from the left
hand. Butter is not served at dinner.

WHY THE CHURCH USES LATIN

because a universal community
requires a universal language. The
Church of Christ Is universal.
because it does not change. If for
example, the Church should use French
in one of her formulas alone, that of
baptism, she would have been obliged
to change it over sixty times.
3-Because nothing can equal the dig
nifty of the Latin language, its clearness
or its beauty.
because it lifts the liturgy of the
Church above everyday usages of
words, which alters their senses and
debases it bY RIGHTEOUSNESS.
5-FinaIly, an universal language
speaks of universal brotherhood, and
makes a Catholic at home in all the
Roman Catholic Churches in the world.
Besides, he understands the language,
though unlearned, by the ceremonies of
the Church. or from his prayer book,
which contains it's entire meaning in
his own tongue.

Lead softly, tbs little child
Of few and tender years;
Give him your smiles nor yet demand
The trouble of his tears.

That he may not forget
Lead softly through fair childhoods gatC

Upon his grateful tongue,
For those who claSped with tenderness

MAGDALEN's TEARS.

Only tearsi-
On His garments hem they fell.
Whose calm and wOndrous voice
Had turned TO heaven her hell,
And babe her soul rejoice.
Only tears,-
But they dropped upon His feet,
The pity OF whose eyes
Had made harsh judgment sweet
And her sinful folly wise
Only tears!-
But she wiped them with her hairs
With it's cleaning length of gold,
Her pride and her despair,
That had ruined men untold.
Only tears,-
But while age shall follow age.
Undimmed the drops will shine
Like Jewels on the page
OF the tragedy divine.

1t is said, the owner of the coin must
not know who made tho hole, but

perstitions have their root in necro-

can be traced back to the earliest

witchcraft. The lucky coin and tht

the same origin. In various parts of
Great Britain these stones are treas

through Canada on one of the Canadian
Pacific trains the train stopped at a sta

said she did not, but feeling an interest in
the products of her own town. she imne-
diately went to see the engine which had
been built at our Locomotive Works. She
told the engineer that she was from Rich
mond and had come to see the engine and
find out what he thought of it.
The engineer said: when you go home
give the men at the Locomotive Works
this message from me: Tell them that the
Richmond locomotives work well, and
wear we'll, and are the best locomotives
we have.
Miss Blair said she had now delivered
her message, ard that she hoped the men.
would, like the locomotives, work well:
and wear well.

NO LIKELIHOOD OF STRIKE.
Relations Between Southern ana /,


Employees are Not Strained.
WASHINGTON, April Third Vice
President and General Manager Frank
S. Cannon, of the Southern Railway, to-
day denied that there was any likelihood
of a strike Of the telcgraphcrs on that
system and also that the engineers, con-
ductors and railway trainmen are dissat-
iSfed.
9fr. Cannon ascribed the agitation to
officers Of the Order of Railway Tele-
graphers, whose headquarters are in IlIi-
uoiS.
.:rhese men, said Mr. Cannon, ..have
been steadily at work trying to create
dissatisfaction for five years. resorting
to misrepresentation and every means
that seems to suggest themselves. whether
feir or unfair, to stir uD Strife.
Mr.. Cannon said that delegations of
conductors and engineers met the officials
OF the Southern in this city last January
and reached decision that was mutually
satisfactory. He said the newspaper re-
ports published some months ago that
the employees of his system were dissatis-
fled, We're instigated by the oSganl,a tons
who think they may be able to force an
issue.
Mr.. Cannon further stated that he met
NJ. Powell, of the Railway Telegraphers,
last February, and had clear and dis
tinct understanding with him.
There are no strained relations any
where in our SERVICE" said Mr. Cannon
in conclusion. Our men reai:kr the we
arc doing and always have done every
thing we could do for their interests We
meet cur men whenever it IS necessary,
and always reach mutually satisfactory
understanding. OF course the object OF
the discontented ones in this case Is to
make a lot of noise ard create some
opinion that may be Favorable to them"
