CHANGES AT THE DINNER TABLE

CHANGES AT THE DINNER TABLE.
 The presence of ladies at dinner was brought about by necessity more than by the gallantry due to their sex. by lady carvers, who worked at side table. In Elzabethan times, at private dinners, it became usual to place the principal joints and grandes pieces at the upper end of the table above the salt. so that the chief guests could see the joints and secure choice helpings. We have something of this kind in the habit which prevails at restaurants of first showing the game, poultry, etc, to the diners before carving, The place which came to the fair sex from neces- sity was soon claimed by them as their right, and they passed from the menial position of carver to the occupiers of the principal seat. The lady had help CTS who deemed it an honor to serve her in their turn.
 In this duty of professional car yer lies one of the first causes of the pa- per frills for legs of mutton, etc, for 1t was used in every case where the ope- rator had to grasp some tangible part of the joint with the left hand Tn 1853 a grand dame suggested that it would appear more comedy and decent to use a fork'--this in spite of existing preju- dice
 It was at this time, too, that travellers from Holland introduced into England the fashion of seating men and women alternately, the adoption of which put an end to lady carvers; then the author of the Cooks Oracle suggested that joints and large birds should be carved before they came to the table, thus starting the now prevailing fashion of carving at the side ble.-Philadelphia Public Ledger

heard him indulge in frivolous or fool ish speech.
 His literary taste was of the purest and his knowledge intimate and dis eliminating. One quality not exactly moral but rather a psychological pe- culiarity was his soiitariness. In some respects he stood alone. His soul was like star and dwelt apart. A pro- found and impenetrable reserve hid the
 depths of his nature from every eye save that of God Undoubtedly that, however, which was the most obvious
 to the student of his moral nature was the strength and tenacity of his will. And this will was never relaxed.
 He strove to break the letters of ig- norance; to free men from the slavery of the letter, of tradition, of the past; to break the bondage of the vulgar, the common-p place and the mean; to cast away the cords of iniquity and sin. What he was to me I could not put into words. The man of all men that ever l have known who was to me all the best that one man can be to an- other. With the end of that great and gracious friendship the richest chapter in my life is closed. My story is told. It only remains now to say farewell. Farewell. Oh, wlsest, strongest, brav- est man, God in His infinite goodness, ever permitted me to call my friend, l bid you long and sad farewell!

TAMPA'S EARTHLY PARADISE.
 The Tampa Bay Hotel is beyond all question the finest resort hotel on the North American continent, and situated as it is in tropical Florida, makes it all the more attractive. The climate is sublime, and now, in February, while the winter blasts are blowing in the North, the warm sunshine of the South brings health and pleasure to all who visit this beautiful resirt. Fish are plentiful, and nearly every species from the magnificent tarpon, the silver king, to the small but beautiful trout, are to be caught in the waters around the hotel. The season for good duck shoot ing is at hand. and not a day passes that parties do not come in with num- bers of the birds, have them prepared at the hotel by the most noted chefs in the world, and served few hours after they are shot,
 There are nearly half hundred pro- fessional and amateur golfers wintering at this resort, and this fact can be ac- counted for when one remembers that the links of the Tampa Bay Golf club are not only the finest in the state, but among the best in the country.

IS East Grand avenue, but Saturday even- ing escaped from the friends who were watching him and ran out on the roof of shed in the rear of his home, where he lived, and jumped to the ground, a distance of twenty feet. Two men who were in the house attempted to re- strain him, but were unable to do so. He appeared to be uninjured by the fall and ran to the river near by. His friends followed and when they arriv- ed at the river bank they saw him floundering in the water. He was final ly hauled out of the water by George D. Strickland of Lenox street, and George Dornan, nephew. He was unconscious and was carried back to his room. Stimulants were applied, but attempts to resuscitate him were un- successful.

BRITISH DEEP SEA GABLE MAX
 

| So much has been heard latterly of
 the ascendency of American manufac- | turers in many different branches of in-
 dustry over those of Great Britain and
 other countries as to make it a bit re-
 freshing, in the way of variety, to note
 that in the matter of long submarine
 man makers have hitherto retained su- premacy over those of the United
 States. Indeed, it is a matter of no lit-
 tie moment to American cable makers that the promoters of the Pacific com
 mercial cable company appear not to
 have given them more than a passing thought in the recent placing of the or der for this cable. But it can hardly
 be gainsaid that American cable manu- lecturers are not yet in a position to undertake the construction of cable of the extent and quality of the one in question. British and continental deep sea cable manufacturers have, it may be said, grown up with the business, and as a result they have the machine ry, and, most important the expetrt knowledge, necessary in the manufac- ture of such cables. Furt hermore, much of this expert knowledge is a trade secret, and is, claimed to be of such q beneficial nature that, given the same quantity and quality of material the exercise of this knowledge in the course of manufacture will enable one manufacturer to guarantee speed of signalling over the cable considerably greater than could another manufac- turer not possessed of similar knowl- edge. Besides, the time consumed in the making and laying of a cable such as the proposed new Pacific cable is so great, from three to four years,-and the outlay incurred is so enormous, about fifteen million dollars or three million pounds that even if Q manu- facturer without reputation for success ful work of this kind should be willing to bond himself to the full amount of any actual loss in the event of failure, no wise purchaser would be justified in taking the risk, however slight, of fail ure, It would, therefore, seem that un- til the American cable manufacturer can establish such reputation, by con- ! structing and laying cables, for the government, for example it is likely that British and continental makers will continue to get the bulk, if not all, of the contracts for long deep-sea ca bles required by purely private corpo- rations Ca sser's Magazine.
