INDIVIDUAL SPOONS.
The Variety of Forks and Spoons H.
creases Every Season.

CTeases Every Season.
There is very little the woman OF
today eats for which she has not heI
special fork or spoon, and there are
all sorts and kinds of forks and
spoons for serving everything, from
pie to piccalilli. They are all usefui
and make pretty and servicable
presents. For individual use The
special pieces are not essential--an
ordinary spoon will answer for most
purposes. The soup spoon should
have round instead of an obloug
bowl, the bouillon spoon is the same
shape, but smaller; the individual
chocolate spoon the same shape ano
smaller still. The egg spoon is one
OF the most necessary of the in
dividual spoons, being small and short
of handle, with an oval bowl. but
broad and round at the end, and a
large spoon will not answer the pur-
pose. The ice cream spoon is a
trifie larger and also broad at the
end. In getting an individual article
for eating cream the ice cream fork is
preferable, being shaped like the
spoon, but having the end of the
bowl separated into three broao
prongs.
Servers are useful, one might al.
most say necessary A lettuce work
for instance, has a long, slender
handle and three slender spreading
prongs slightly hooked. These are
excellent for manipulating the lettuce
as they hold IL securely witho II
bruising it. A horseradish spoon has
a narrow, square, oblong bowl. WITH
rather lon8 handle, and slips easily
in and out OF the horseradish bottle
An olive fork, with three tines and \
long handle, is good, but an olive
spoon, with long handle and narrow
perforated bowl, is better. a
chocolate "muddler" is a convenient
spoon, having a round bowl like The
Individual chocolate spoon, but a long
handle is ueeful In "muddling" roe
chocolate before serving. A tea
caddy spoon is rather deep silver
shovel, with short handle.

THE HAPPY. HAPPY FARMER.

oh the happy, happy farmer. VINO
lives seven miles from town,
! Has no furnace in the basement that
must be shaken down;
He doesn't have to hurry out to catch
the train and then
Work behind desk and worry as the
slave of other men;
i No superior berates him for the small
mistakes he makes,
He is not denied employment for some
little rule he breaks,
And he needn't, when he's weary from
the duties of the day.
Hurry to some distant station. dodg-
ing footpads on the way.
Oh the happy. happy farmer, he just
hustles out of bed
And goes, shivering for the kindline,
which he chops out in the shed;
Then, while nav is getting breakfast.
he runs out to milk the cows
And to pry the frozen hay up from
dusty, musty mows;
oh, he milks away at Bossy and his
hands are cracked and sore.
But he thinks with kindly pity Of the
pale clerk in the store,
And he curries down the horses and
at last, all hairy, goes
In to breakfast with the odor OF the
stable in his nose.
oh the happy, happy farmer doesn't
have to pay cent
10 the landlord who is heartless when
he comes to claim his rent:
The luckless clerk is worried when
some other man than he
is promoted to station where he
knows he ought to be,
And his wife-his poor wife--nags him
just because she cannot fly
To perch beside some neighbor who
is roostipg rather high;
He must walk an aisle from morning
till they close the doors at night.
And goes home to find the water in
the laundry frozen tight.
Oh the happy. happy farmer wades in
snow up to his knees
Out to where the wintry demons have
been overturning trees,
And he chops and nearly freezes while
the mad winds howl away,
And the echoes of his mauling ring
among the trees all day;
me snow gets in his boot-tops, and the
frost bites at his ears,
While the noises he produces are the
only sounds he hears.
And at night he thaws the pump loose
and goes out to do the chores,
Where the snow, in long, thin ridges,
filters through the stable doors.
oh the happy, happy farmer, what a
careless life he leads!
Instead of always buying. he lust
raises what he needs;
His neighbors don't ignore him II he's
not as rich as they
All ne mas to do is work to keep the
Old gray wolves away:
The coal man and the plumber never
crowd him to the wall,
he Just Keeps forever paying for farm
implements, that's all;
And at night he needn't dress and blow
three dollars for treat
vi pehoiding performance that's
worth fifty cents a seat

AS to Borough Affairs.

ED. CITIZEN-As our Town Council
is asking us to vote them S57, 444 80, OF
two per cent. additional on an assessed
valuation of nearly three millions, it be
comes pertinent for the citizens of the
town to inquire as to the expenditure of
previous appropriations, the debt of, the
general receipts. and the fixed charges
against the town; also the general man
agement of the towns affairs.
Some of the late expenditures have
seemed ridiculous. For instance. late
last fall the Council built ten-foot cul-
vert across L. Fulton St. while for
the same water, where it crosses Bluff
ST. they had shortly before repaired a
three-foot culvert, which had partially
been washed out by flood; and that
water continues to enter the big end OF
funnel. On Mercer ST. good bridge.
with a span of 16 to 20 feet, has been all
summer and is now obstructed by slab
fence, which occupies more than half
the channel.
Some of the fixed charges notably
that for the lighting of our streets
are exorbitant.
Another thing. the Council has not
been enforcing its own ordinances
notably those for the opening of streets,
and thereby laying the town liable TO
snits for damages.
Nobody is kicking about progress and
improvement. but something seems to
be wrong, and if it can be bettered by a
change in the personal of the Council,
now is the time to consider the matter.
Both parties should hold suggestion
meetings or conferences in each ward of
the town on Saturday evening of this
week, and both will hold primary cleo
tions on Saturday of next week, from l
to pm. at the usual polling PAGES
Few of us, outside of the Council. are
as well posted on the borough's affairs
as we should be, and now is the time to
investigate.
