4 ThorOughIY Mean Trick

A party Of young ladies and gentle
men at Vaudeville raided the melon
patch Of a citizen not long ago. The
young men assured their wards that
there wasn't the slightest danger, and
it was real fun for the girls to slip into
the patch and steal the melons while
their brave escorts hung on the out
skirts to give due and timely notice
that they might ward off approaching
danger. The affair was not managed
so adroitly as not to interest the atten-
tior of the owner who made a sortie,
passed the guard and fred off his gun
whereat the fair melon stealers let out
the most piercing shrieks, each one
screaming at the top OF her tonsils that
she was shot dead; but all started on a
run and the young men added to the
panic by falling in behind and yelling:
Run for your livesip They did so,
but when all of them we're beyond the
reach OF bird shot, the rascals informed
the terrified young ladies that they put
up the job and had previously ac-
quainted the proprietor of the melons
of the intended raid. 1t was one of the
meanest tricks that could have been
thought up.

TABLE ETIQUETTE.
How 10 Eat without Transgressirll
the Rules of Good Manners.

On seating oneself at table gloves, II
worn. should be removed and the table
napkin opened out and placed on the
lap.
Bread may be placed either at the
right or left side, according TO cOnven.
hence
Soup.-Only small helpings OF soup
are given-half ladleful Is generally
considered quite enough-and IL Is eat
EN- as noiselessly as possible from the
side Of the tablespoon. 1t Is allowable
to tilt the plate slightly away from one
while taking the last spoonfuls, but
never toward one.
Fish.-This Is now eaten with silver
knives and forks specially prepared
for the purpose. A few years ago fish
was eaten off q fork. and a crust Of
bread took the place of a knife in re
moving ii from the bones. Then this
fashion was dropped In favor of two
forks, but at the present day fish
knives and forks are so general that
one seldom has to fall back on such
makeshift arrangements.
Only the fork is used for eating riS.
soles, omeiets and dishes made OF
minced or small cut meat. The knife
is reserved for those viands which re-
quire cutting.
When eating sweet dishes, the fork
is held IN the right hand and is used
exclusively, as far as possible. 1t is
only for stewed fruits, milky puddings
and other semiliquid dishes that the
spoon is called into service.
Asparagus Is still eaten by some peo-
pie in the old style of holding the stalk
I'm the fingers, but the younger genera.
ton generally prefers the neater way
of cutting off the points with the knife
and conveying them on the fork 10 the
mouth.
Salad is generally eaten from a sepa.
rate plate placed at the left hand side
of the meat plate.
At dessert apples, pears, etc, are
peeled and are then cut up to the right
size for eating off a fork. Grapes are
conveyed to the mouth by the fingers,
and the stones and skins are passed
from the mouth to the hand and then
laid on the table.
Refinement in eating and drinking
cannot be too strongly insisted upon.
Even little children should be taught
to place quite small portions of food in
their mouths, to keep the lips closed
during the process of mastication and
never to drink while they have food in
their mouths. Drinking while eating
often leads to a choking fit both alarm
ing and unpleasant to witness.
Crumbling ones bread, fidgeting with
spoon and fork, digging I'm the salt Gel
lar and other nervous tricks in which
some people indulge while talking are
all bad habits to be overcome.

VIII Reach the Pole.

al desire here TO emphasize the fact"
says Evelyn Briggs Baldwin In the
September number OF McClure's Maya
zize, "that the Baldwin-Ziegler Ex-
petition was organized TO reach the
Pole. Neither scientific research, nor
even record OF 'Farthest North will
suffice; not only the attainment Of
that much sought-for spot where one
can point only To the south will satisfy
our purpose" Many who have braved
death To reach the Pole expressed, be-
fore setting sail, a determination equal
ly strong. They failed, but their fall
ures, in Mr. Baldwin's opinion, are al
tributable "either lack OF proper equip
ment or TO inability to transport it
over the long stretches Of treacherous
sea ice . He does not purpose TO fail
for such reasons. And Nansen says he
will not fail-that he will reach the
pole
In his absorblngly interesting article
"How | Hope to Reach the Pole the
Commander makes his only announce
ment of the plars and purposes Of the
Baldwin Ziegler Expedition The plans
are complete even TO the smallest de-
tail. The three ships engaged in I'll Q
expedition are OF the best. For trans
portation over the ice, fifteen Siberian
ponies and four hundred dogs have
been provided, so that instead OF the
customary load of seventy-6ve to one
hundred pounds per dog, the limit has
been fixed at fifty pounds. AS for the
leader. it lacks nothing that foresight
experience aud the generosity of Mr..
Zegler could suggest or procure" In
addition there is carried along every
kind of instrument for making mete-
geological records, for magnetic work,
for photography, etc.

Tree Nurseries at Home.
O. A. HUMMER.

Already the earlier orchards of this
state have died out, or become value
less comparatively, through old age.
Attention must be given to the re-
newing of fruit orchards in good time
before the older trees lose their vital
ity, if it is intended to maintain the
number of fruit bearing trees.
The scientific peach growers may
be depended upon to look out for their
interests, but outside of these it is to
be hoped that the planting season
this year will see many new orchards
installed and the failing trees in the
old renewed. Those who remember
the fruit, particularly apples, which
was grown in this section thirty or
forty years ago frequently regret ex-
ceedingly that some of the varities,
which were then so plentiful, have
been allowed to die out entirely, un-
til now they cannot be found or re-
produced. 1t is a great mistake to
lose excellent fruit by default, when
it is so easy by judicious budding to
perpetuate it.

sugar Beets.

Some abortive attempts have been
made 10 interest farmers in the grow
ing of sugar beets in this vicinity, and
the subject dropped for the time be-
ing. There seems to be a very pecul-
/ lar feature about the business which
is always in evidence whenever the
question is first agitated in a locality
the beet gets beat the first round. IL
| is always the hardest kind of work to
get people TO grasp the real facts of
the case. 1t is hard to bring out the
honest facts in such manner and in
such light as to carry conviction
with lot of adverse opinion freely
expressed although it is absolutely
contrary TO the real truth as proven
by actual experience, because no one
ever has anything but good to say of
the industry that has had experience
i'm it. Those that are in position to
speak from authority tell us that ii is
an all around good thing. 1t inn
proves the farmer and the farm.
Good for the business man and the
machine. This question is worthy of
more than our passing thought. We
can have sugar beet factory under
one condition and that is, we must
furnish the beets. This is all that
capitalists require. With a sufficient
supply of beets guaranteed they are
ready TO put their money into it. If
the people of this vicinity, businesses
men as well as farmers, would go at
it with a will and stick TO it we might
have a factory ready to do business a
year hence.

There seems to be a good deal of
confusion in regard to the word team
talope" as applied to certain variet-
les of muskmelons. Some think they
are a different specie of fruit alto
gether. Some markets use the name
TO designate certain class but the
name is only local as the different
varieties and strains all originated
from the same specie it is just as
proper to call them all cantalopes as
a part of them. Nutmeg" is often
used 70 designate the small round
varieties, and cantalope to designate
the large long varieties, but what
about the intermediate varieties,
which class predominates?
