more pathetic figure seen than that
same Sergeaut-Maior MacDougal as
he tended the fires with one hand and
belabored the lgorrOtes, who were
squatting on top of the table, with the
other. They were not content to stand
on the floor as the soldiers did They
mounted the table itself and sat al.
most in the fire. Not one stick Of
wood did they bring, nor did they even
offer to help put fresh fuel on the fire
They only squatted and blinked like
frogs, and whenever the Sergeant.
Major would turn his back they would
completely encircle the fires.
When the Sergeant Major returned
with new supply of wood and fresh
lot of invectives they would merely
blink at him reproachfully.

rhe Care Of carvInr KnLves.

Carving knives should, to begin
with, be of the best STEEL and then
should always be kept in the highest
condition. A good kuife saves time
and trouble, while the portions and
joints look so much better than if an
instrument with blunt cutting edge
has been used. 1t is well for an iron.
monger when Offering these goods for
sale to thoroughly understand not
only tho construction of the article he
sells, but the best manner of using it,.
A few hints given by a Sheffield mau-
ufacturer when discussing this sub
iect may be useful. He says: 81
have handled carving knives, both in
business aud at my table for many
years, and know that the best knives
will not cut properly when used on
hot roast beef unless the steel is used
after every few cuts. The best way
is to use the steel after every cut.
The steel need not be rough, as some
imagine-in fact, a well worn steel is
better than one with a rough surface,
and few passes over it with the knife
produce good edge. The man who
rubs and manipulates q carving knife
for five minutes against a steel before
beginning to carve, and thinks that
now he has it all right and may send
the steel away, makes a great mis-
take. He should keep the steel
handy, and pass the knife over it
lightly a few times after every cut or
two. And even then he will accom-
plish nothing unless he knows how to
use the two instruments. A carver
must be held at an angle Of from
twenty to twenty-five degrees on the
steel One must be careful to have
the angle the same on both sides,
otherwise the knife will be dull in
stead of sharp. The knife should BIZ
drawn on the steel from heel to point
against the edge, and the pressure
should be very light"

noeorntInr no nnr window.

A bay window affords tho opportu.
nifty for decorative notions. The re-
cessed window suggests low scat
running round it, upholstered in artis-
tic tapestry and framed with curtains
of harmonizing coloring. 1t is easy,
at the cost Of little thought, to pro-
duoe something picturesque if we have
the chief material ready to our hand.
In large room an ordinary window
was so cleverly treated by a young
housekeeper that in effect it was "re-
cessed." This effect was gained by
an archway which stood out at dis
tance OF about two feet from the win.
dow, the sides being shut in with
screens aud with palms in tall stands
and seat being arranged beneath ths
window.
Another way of "recessing" is by
means Of two brass arms jutting out
from the wall, one arm on either side,
these connected in front by brass
pole, hung with curtains draped al
each side Curtains should also hang
from the side arms and shut in the
window. Finish with a window seat.

Aside from the obvious convenience
OF having mail delivered almost at
ono'o door, certain aocompaniments of
the free delivery system have tended
greatly to commend it. AS a prerequi-
site to the establishment of aroute, the
Postofice Department is disposed to
insist that the country roads be kept
in proper condition; and tho impetus
thus given to tho movement in favor
of good roads has been in many in
stances very marked. In Boone
County, Indiana, tho farmers of a
certain district obtained from the
county supervisors an appropriation
of $2680 for improving a bad piece of
dirt road, in order to insure con-

which, to show the importance of high
way improvement, he fixes the annual
loss by roads in Connecticut at 49,
2S2, 800 He estimates tho annual de.

while roads are impossible at $780,.
600, useless repair of roads at $685..
900, and loss by lawsuits caused by

There is no such thing as a court
house in Cuba. Ninety-fve per cent.
Of the court business is done by the
clerks. II man has a case at law he
does not seek the Judge, but the clerk
to whom that particular case "be-
longs" When the judges signature
is needed the clerk takes the papers
TO him at his house. He may read
before he signs, but this is doubtful
in most cases. The clerk makes his
living from the litigants, aud the re-
Iult is obvious. The man who can
mako it most worth while generally
wins the case. This was not con.
hned to the Spanish occupation OF
Guba, but has been the case under
the American rule. 1t is going on to.
aay, aud that is why Governor Wood
says that little can be done in Cuba
until a start is made toward legal re.

"It is gratifying to perceive this

In Southern Italy muskmelons are

for winter consumption, becomes OF

The National BIZ.

The National Bill.
"HE wheelmen, farmers and
the press have so enthusias.
tically endorsed the bill pre-.
sented by the League of
American Wheelmen, calling for an
appropriation of $5, 900, 600 for high.
way improvements, there can now be
no doubt that the good roads move
ment was ripe for national promotion.
The different division of the League,
rs we'll as wheelmen generally, are
unanimous in their support of a
measure which is concededly a step
far in advance of anything heretofore
attempted in the same line. The
farmers organizations, which have
had time to consider it, hail it as the
probable solution of their grievous
highway improvement question. The
newspapers, almost without excep-
tion, realize that in it are the posi-
bilities of future national political
issue.
With such endorsement the bill has
the brightest chances of success, and
the L. A. w. officials should not only
feel encouraged but fattered in the
reception of their suggestive action.
President keenan,, of the L. A. W.,
has received congratulations from all
parts of tho country on the introduc.
tion of the bill, and the promises of
hearty support are many.
Managing Director NJ. o. Eldridge,
of the Office Of Road Inquiry, Depart
ment of Agriculture, in a letter to
President keenan,, says:
'I note with pleasure that Mr..
Graham, of Pennsylvania, has intro
duced your bill appropriating S., 000
900 for the purpose of building public
highways. This is long step in the
right direction, and 1 congratulate
you most heartily. While the de-
sired appropriation may not be made
at the present time, this action will
have the good effect of stimulating
road legislation aud road reforms
throughout the country.
"rhe time for national aid perhaps
will not come until a majority of the
richer and more progressive States
shall have adopted the State.aid sys-
tenn in ore form or another That
national aid will come, however, is as
certain as the principle is true that
our Government is of the people, for
the people and by the people. The
old idea that such improvements
should be left entirely to State and
local governments is fast dying out,
and in its stead comes the idea that
what the Government does for, tho
people are doing for themselves. The
scarecrow 'Paternalism, which is
used by those who are opposed to the
Governments entering into such inter
nal improvements, is losing its terror
for the masses as the practical useful
ness of the general movement takes
more and more varied form. Tho
sentiment is growing that the Gen
oral Government is as much the SER
want Of tho whole people as the State
aud local governments are of their
portions, and that the whole people
can rs safely use their General Gov.
ernmeat for the general benefit as any
section can its local government for
