Peculiar Table Custom.

In a book entitled domestic Man
ners OF the Middle Ages we are told
that In those days dinner tables were
covered 10y a "nappc," or tablccloth.
Upon it were placed a large saltcellar,
bread and cups for wine, but no knives
or plates. The reason for the absence
Of the knives arose from the common
practice In vogue of people carrying
their own knives in a sheath attached
to their girdle
In an early work, written by Lyd-
gate-"Rules For Behavior at Table
the guests are told to bring no knives
unsecured to the table, which can only
mean that each one was TO keep his
own knife-that is, the one he carried
with him-clean.

THE GREAT POETS.
DO Not study Them For knowledgeJ
Read Them For Culture.


Young men and young women actual.
ly go To college 10 take a course in
Shakespeare OF Chauccr or Dante or
the Arthurlan legends. The course be-
comes mere knowledge course. My
own acquaintance with Milton was
through an exercise In grammar. We
parsed Paradise Lost" Much of the
current college study OF Shakespeare
Is little better than parslng him. The
class falls upon the text like hens
upon bone In winter. No meaning
OF phrase escapes them; every line
Is literally picked to pieces. But Of
the poet himself, OF that which makes
him what he is, how much do they
gct2 Very little, | fear. They have
had intellectual exercise and not an
emotional experience. They have add
ed 10 their knowledge, but have not
taken n step In culture.
To dig into the roots and origins OF
the great poets is like digging into the
roots OF nn oak or maple the better to
Increase your appreciation of the beau
~ OF the tree. There stands the tree
n all Its summer glory. VIII YOU real
~ know 1t any better after YOU have
laid bare every root and rootletS There
stand Homer, Dante, Chaucer and
Shakespeare. Read them give your
self TO them, and master them IL you
are man enough.
The poets are not to be Analysed;
they are to bc enjoyed; they are not to
bc studied, but TO be loved; they are
not for knowledge, but for culture
TO enhance our appreciation Of life and
our mastery over its elements. All the
mere facts about Il poets work are as
chatr as compared with the apprecia-
tion OF one fine line or fine sentence.
Why study great poet at all after the
manner OF the dissecting room? Why

ancc of his living soul and 60 feel its
powcr?--John Burroughs In Century.

The girl was having a private con.

Perfect DIGESTION
HOW TO OBTAIN 1T.

There Is not man or woman whose
digestive organs are in perfect condition
that ever suffers from impoverished
blood, loss of flesh, shattered nerves,
indigestion, sour stomach, or ilatulency,
and there ~ not person living who
Is troubled with these disorders that
ever received any permanent benefit
from taking drugs 10 rectiiy these condi-
tions.
When the digestive organs are i'm per
feet condition theyextract from the food
all that goes 10 make blood, muscle, flesh
and good health, and unless they are in
perfect condition, they cannot accom-
plish this work. Drugs cannot and will
not digest food. They only decOmpose
IL. To be sure, in this way they often
afford Temporary relief u the irritated
stomach and bowels, but the patient re-
ceiyes no nourishment from such food
and the digestive organs no benefit from
such treatments
No human being has as yet been able
~ duplicate the work OF our Maker.
Consequently, all treatments which have
for their object the digestion Of food, are
failures and always will BE-. Nothing
but the restoration OF these organs 10
their normal condition can or will per-
manently cure disorders which arise
from the stomach and bowels.
Up 10 the present time, MrO-SA, the
new cure for diseases OF the digestive
organs, is the only one which does not
act on the food at all, but upon the mem

with tongues. The worshiper who

sion and while the temperance reso-
lutions were up for discussion Mr.
Wall had something to say of his
lately deceased dispensary measure
His argument, from religious stand
point, was certainly daisy" Vo-
lusia is dry county, and he sought
to show that under dispensary sys-
tenn, with a county dispensary to fur
nish liquor to the people who wanted
it, money which now went to Palatka
could be kept at home. He had
nothing particular to say about the
other advantages to be derived from
dispensary liquor. So long as "broth-
er" Wall confines his temperance ca
propaganda to efforts to convert the
Baptist church, it's all right. The
News is not so alarmed that the
church will go wrong as it is for the
democratic party.
