Fried Bread.
The weather which prevailed Thurs.

ut 10 painful to observe that toast as
an article OF food Is rapidly disappear
ing" said tho regular eater in restan-
rants. ut is now. almost impossible to
get Il in New York wherever one may
order it. Fried bread Is now accepted
everywhere as the substitute for toast in
spite of the difference in its taste, ap-
pearance and every other quality. Per-
sons who eat toast for reason of health
will ind that fried bread produces IN eff
feet absolutely the opposite to that
which toast would cause. I do not know
q single restaurant in New York today
in which real toast is served. The fried
bread can be more easily and quickly
prepared. The danger Of burning is not
50 great, and in the hurry OF q restaurant
kitchen it Is much less trouble to put
bread into the frying pan than to have
it kept over live Goals long enough to
tonst. So toast must nlso be added to the
list Of simple and unpretcntious dishes
which are rapidly disappearing from New
forks bill OF fare because they are NOT
elaborate enouChsto make 1t worth while
to take trouble over thsm."-New York

TABLE MANNERS.

Any noise in taking soup should be
avoided.
To butter a elice OF bread is to show
an unfortunate lack Of knowledge in
this regard; the bread should be broken
into small pieces and buttered as want
ed.
Hot rolls and scenes are broken with
the hands, not cut
AL the meat on the plate should not
be cut into tiny pisces before commen-
cling to eat It, but a piece cut as de-
SIRED.
Potato skins or fruit parings should
never be laid on the cloth.
1t is not refined to clean up ones plate
with a mop OF bread.
There are, however, minor points that
are not quite understood, and to know
the proper thing to do under all circum-
stances is always desirable. An unwrit-
ten law covers all the details of elegant
dining in well-bred society, n a blum
der at table is most r~eprehenEible. Ta-.
BILE manners cover much more thar the
mere eating, for the bearing and atti-
tude largely enter into 1t. Sitting too
close or too far from the table induces
an awkward appearance. Do not sit on
the side or the edge Of the chair, nor
tilt back in it at any time, nor forget
that an erect position always tends to
grace and elegance.
The table is not a lounging place, and
the habit of leaning the elbow on the
table or of settling in ones chair as If
the spine had suddenly collapsed is most
uncharitable to the diners appearance.
To toy abssnt-mindedly with the things
within reach or to crease the table cloth
With fork or spoon indicates a lack of
breeding.
AT a dinner where guests are hidden
the gentlemen assist in seating the la
deg before seating themselves, the lady
of honor sitting at the right of the host
and being served first with each course.
This to the novice nay be a trying po-
sition if she will allow it to become
such. When seated before bewilder-
ing array of glasses and silver, to know
just which fork or knife to use first is
disconcerting to one who is un%accus-
toned to elegant dining. However, if
the novice is tactful she will watch
what her neighbor does, for no one ia
supposed to commence eating until all.
OF 'nearly all are served, and there is no
necessity for her commencing first.
Graceful bearing and agreeable CONVEX
sation will lack of knowledge on
the part of the novice. 1t is only the
t~actless woman that makes ridiculous
mistakes when placed under new condi-
tions.
Being seated at table gloves are re-
moved at once and laid in the lap; re-
moving only the hand of the glove and
tucking it into the long arm portion at
the wrist or the placing of the gloves in
a w%ineglass IN the table is not consid-
cred elegant. The napkin IS then un-,
folded and laid across the lap. 1t is
needless to say that under no circum-
stances is it tucked into the frock. The
four or five forks found at the left of
the plate have each a special use. the
largest being ressvred for the roast.
When wine is served the well-bred
guest will allow a glass to be filled even
II she does not drink II. If one
scruples against the use of wine, they,
must not be ventilated at the table: to
reverse the glass. thus implying a pros
test against the custom. is an affront
to the hostess.

GIANT TREES IN OREGON.
Said to he 20 to 81 Feet In Diamete,
audE Over $50 Feet High.

I would like to draw attention to a
bunch of immense trees in the mountains
10 to 20 miles from my place, near La
tourell, on the o. II. & N. used TO
make every year a trip to the mountains.
lasting generally eight to ten days. and it
was on one Of my last trips about four
years ago that 1 discovered on tho north
east side Of the divide, between the wa
tiers OF the Bull Run and the Hood river,
this bunch Of giant trees. The like l new
er saw before or since.
Before l saw these giants / had meas
urel from time to time some trees at
home which girdled 20 to 80 feet around
about three feet above the base. but these
trees could not be compared at all with
the big trees l found in the mountains.
They would appear as mere sticks
against those giants. l honestly believe
that those giants will girdle 60 to so feet
around near the base ind that they are
$50 to 400 feet high. They stand on a
kind of 1nt or bottom, and this fat is
well protected from discovery, as far us l
could perceive. by steep and high bluffs
not only from the Hood river side up,
but from the main water divide down.
These big trees are, in my mind. some.
where near the north line of the National
park. but it is doubtful II they are in it.
There are two species of the giant
trees. One species has a yellowish and
not very rough bark, is straight and
round as a candle. has no limbs to an i'm
mense height and has a nice, wonderful
crown. The father Of this very aristo-
cratic species in our mountains is surely
the emperor Of our forest. People must
not think that this tree is the SO called
noble FIR" because l know not only the
noble fir" but many other mountain
trees very well. Nor must they think that
this species is one OF the common trees in
the mountains. / cannot say how many
such giants there IRE. There may be hum
dreds, there may be thousands. On our
way home one OF my companions was
drowned in the Bull Kun and efore I
never went to the mountains again, but
have always had a desire to so and inves-
tigate further about those big trees.
Cedar is the second species Of the big
trees. They rival in size and grandeur
the first species. But the most wonderful
thing about them seems to be that they
are, in spite Of their immense diameter
and age, seemingly sound and hard
through and through.-Portland Orego-
nian.

waltsing Nice.

Tho Japanese have q queer little do
mestic pet that is said to waltz through
the greater part OF the waking hours Of
its life, never growing tired. even II its
feet wear out in the process.
The animal belongs to a peculiar breed
of mice-black and white with pink eyes.
One Of their pcculiarities is that when
other baby mice are just beginning to
walk these are beginning to waltz.
II several mice are put In together,
they will often be seen waltzing In cou-
pies, and sometimes more than two will
join in the mad whirl. So rapid 10 the

some Freak Plants.

There is a plant in Jamaica called the
life plant because it seems almost im-
possible to kill it. When a leaf is cut off
and hung UP by a string, it sends out
white, threadlike roots, gathers moisture
from the air and begins to grow new
leaves.
In South America there is a flower
which can only be seen when the wind is
blowing. The plant belongs to the cac-
tus family, end when the wind blows a

Commissions Cut on.

Chicago. Jan. 25.-In the face of as
Sertions that the policies of the rail
roads of the country are not dictated
by two or three syndicates working in
harmony. fresh and incontrovertible
evidence of the existence and strength
of the combination appears every day.
Two joint notices, representing eighty
seven railroad systems. were sent out
from Chicago to 1900 coupon ticket
agents in the United States, Canada
and Mexico, advising that February 1st
these companies would cease paying
any commissions, side cuts or other
forms of gratuity or allowance for the
sale of their tickets. Assuming that
the coupon ticket agents average $50 a
month in commissions, the action of
the railroads will mean loss of more
than $5OO.000 monthly to the agents af-
fected. About 10000 of the 10000
miles of railway in the United States
are covered in the new arrangement,
and many of the Colorado and western
roads have signed the notice.

Trouble of Coal Men,

Philadelphia, Jan. pa specia
from Scranton says:
Officials Of three of the big anthra
cite coal companies have announced
that under no circumstances will they
treat with the United Mine Workers
OF America. Their lead in the matter
indicates that similar position will be
taken by other corporations, the coal
carrying roads and the individual op-
orators. OF these companies. the Della
ware, Lackawanna e. Western and the
Delaware & Hudson are paramount.
Their mines employ no less than 20
600 men and boys.
indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 25-The sec
ond day Of the joint conference be-
tween the United Mine Workers and
the coal operators of Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois and Pennsylvania does not
promise much. The gulf between the
miners and operators from Illinois
seems to widen.
A fight will be made to keep the
Iowa operators out of the interstate
compact. Michigan is also asking to
come in. This state will have a better
show than Iowa.

Topeka. Kans., Jan. 25.-An arrange
ment was made to-day for n confer
ence at Chicago between Rev. c.. NJ
| Sheldon, DR.. f. w. Gunsaulus of Chi

to discuss plans for the Sheldon Edi-
ton" of the Topeka Capital
The immediate aud extraordinary re-
spOnse of the public to the announce
ment in the Associated Press Monday
morning of the "SheldOn Edition. of
| the Capital is indicated by the fact
that Mr.. Sheldon and the Daily Capt.
tai have been deluged with kilograms
and letters from all parts of the coun-
try asking for information regarding
the proposed plans for Christian daily
newspaper. Among the dispatches re-
celYed to-day was one from New York
containing an order for 10000 copies
Of each issue during the week. An
other order by telegraph asked for
5000 lines of advertising space.
The first subscription order, which
came within twelve hours of the an
nouncement Of the plan in the AssOciat-
ed Press, was from Nebraska for 100
copies of each issue
requests have cone to the Capital
from over 100 newspapers in Kansas
for cuts of Mr.. Sheldon to be used in
their columns.
Mr.. Sheldon said to-day that while
he would receive no compensation for
his services 1t had been stipulated in
the original understanding with the
Capital Publishing Company that
should the receipts exceed the ex-
penses of his edition large part of
the proceeds would be devoted to mis-
sl0nary and philanthrOpic work.

Colonel Bryan was banqueted by the

which he delivered a political speech
before a large crowd in ST. Mary's
hall.
Mr. Bryan received a most hearty re-
ception from about $500 persons, all
that could possibly get into the hall,
TO whom he spoke for nearly two and
half hours upon silver, trusts and
Imperialism. Mr.. Bryan had the ap-
pearance of being greatly cheered and
somewhat surprised by the warmth of
The greeting which he encountered
when he walked in on the stage. For
fully minute the hall resOunded with
cheers and seemed to be full of way

was followed by three cheers for Mr..
Bryan himself, which were immedi-
ately drowned by three cheers for "our

his surprise at the generosity of the re-
ceptiOn, saying that it had been stated
that the silver question had been bur
led So quick was the response Of the
audience, large portion of which
arose and drowned the voice of Mr..
Bryan with its cheers, that the speak
er hesitated momentarily even after
