Fascinating Old Silver.

Teapots and coffeepots do not go
back very far, since tea and coffee
were not introduced into Europe until
the seventeenth century, and no silver
tea pot or kettle is known of earlier
than 1909. Festoons and medallions
are characteristic ornaments of tea
pots of the time Of the early Georges.
Not until the middle Of the eighteenth
century, however, do we find silver
urns, tea strainers and tea caddies.
Cream jugs followed the fashions Of
the larger pieces.
The first English sauceboat in silver
belongs to the year 1927. Silver can
dlesticks are older, being found first,
with square bases and fluted columns,
in the reign of Charles II. Medallions,
festoons and drapery characterize later
candlesticks, and the COrinthian col
umn pattern, so great a favorite, was
first introduced about 1865. Cake bas
kets of the beautiful cut silver in which
Paul Lamerie so excelled as a maker
belong also to the eighteenth century.
Many trays and salvers were made in
this cut silver, which now, by the way,
is again in fashion, and deservedly SO.

IN A BURST OF ELOQUENCE.

It was one night last year in the house
of lords. The king, then heir apparent,
was seated on the cross benches listen
ing to the debate. Immediately behind
him was Lord Wemyss. who in the
course of the sitting rose to address the
house. The matter under discussion
was one near his heart. and his ear
nestness betrayed him into wild, way
ing movements Of his arms, which the
amused spectators observed more thar
once to menace the princes shining
hat.
The veteran peer, however. did not
notice the danger and at last in a burst
of eloquence brought his arm around
full circle and hit the prince full on the
crown of his hat. driving it almost over
his eyes. The profuse apologies of the
earl were met with good humored
smile from the victim.

SINGULAR MAXIMS.
Old Time Rules For the Table by the
German Poet Won ZirkIer

German Poet Won ZirkIer.
That our ancestors were not so we'll
managed as we are is evident from the
following rules, which were laid down
by Tommasin Won Zirkler, a German
poet, in regard to the conduct of Aost
and his guest at dinner party. These
singular maXimS were recently I'M
earthed and have now been reprinted:
Every host should take care that
his guests have enough to eat and that
they are not served with dishes that
they do not want. In return the guests
should behave properly and should be
satisfied with whatever is placed be-
fore them.
ga guest should not eat all his bread
before the first dishes are served, nei-
Their should he eat with both hands nor
drink nor talk when his mouth is full.
cit is not polite to turn toward ones
neighbor and to offer him winecup
from which one is still drinking.
zone should not eat greedily and
hastily, as though the dinner had been
paid for, neither should one take any
1OOu llOuI LIS uclSlUOI . p1dLC. LII al
word, each person should accept what
is offered and ask for nothing else.
"When there is some one ON the right
hand, it is permissible to eat with the
left hand.
'While one is drinking the eyes
should be steadily fixed on the wine
cup.
ut is improper to place ones hand in
a dish while another person is taking
some food from it.
zone should always have the hands
clean and the nails cut short, as other
wise those persons who are eating from
the same dish are likely to become dis
gusted.
ga guest should never put his ell
bows on the table, neither should he
chatter all the time nor clean his teeth
with a knife. "-Chicago Herald.

MUSICAL TESTIMONY.

MUSICAL TESTIMONY.
After the Jury Heard 1T They Ac-
Laughed In Church and disturbed
the Religious Assemblage.
A we'll known lawyer of Lancaster,
Mo-. related the following legal Incl
dent: One of the most original lawyers
L ever met in my life was Sam Dysart.
who many years ago was a resident of
our county. Sam. was born humorist
and could have made his fortune in the
lecture field. When he lived up our
way, he was engaged on one occasion
to defend lot of boys and girls charg
ed with disturbing a religious assem-
bly, out in the country. Laughing and
giggling' is the way the information
read. The case was tried before Squire
A. c. Bailey, good old man who has
long since gone to his final reward.
Like all cases of the Sort it attracted
an immense crowd from the vicinity Of
the alleged outrage.
r. G. Tadlock prosecuted, and he was
instructed by the church people to
spare no pains to convict the disturb
ers, who were very much frightened
by being dragged into court. All the
defendants were children of good FAM
lilies, and it was their first offense.
They candidly admitted they laughed
H.
that by their own mouths they were
condemned.
Brother Tice Spears. righteous man
of Puritanic type, was the main prose-
cutting witness. He had conducted the
service, and he testified that the peace
was sadly disturbed by the unseemly
behavior OF the rioters After he
told his story in chief he sat down with
clasped hands, waiting for the defend
ants attorney to begin on him. He
didn't have long to wait. The exami-
nation began like this:

SCHOOLS OF PORTO RICO.

The report of Commissioner of Educa-
ton Brumbaugh of Porto Rico shows an
encouraging condition of affairs in the
island. The commissioner says the mill
tary government in the island ended
with 612 schools intermittently OPEN;
now 9S2 schools are in successful session
and $4,000 pupils are enjoying the bene-
fits of free education. A year ago there
We're no school buildings in Porto Rico
owned by the government. When the
summer residence of Governor Hunt
was unoccupied by his family it was
used for school purposes, SO scant were
the accommodations provided for pupils.
English is taught in all the schools, and
the people clamor for more schools and
more teachers. High schools will soon
be added to the system Of education,
and preparations made to instruct 2OO,-
900 children. A public library has been
secured from Andrew Carnegie, and the
people are rapidly rising in the INTEL
lectual scale.
1t is thought that in ten years the
island will be thoroughly Americanized
and the school system completely trans
formed from the state in which it was
found when the military government
took possession of the island. The steps
taken by Porto Rico along the road Of
progress are such strides as have never
advanced any country before The re-
suit of the intelligent supervision of the
islands affairs by the United States is
proving marvel. It's educational adj
Vancement is fair example of the
amazing progress made in every line Of
endeavor since Spanish rule ceased.
