EATS WITH HIS KNIFE.
Heroic Measures Adopted by Young
Woman to Break Her sweet
hearts Bad Habit.

An injured heart tells this tale of
woe in letter to the Philadelphia
North Americana:
ga young gentleman has been asked
to dine at the house of the parents of
the lady whom he fully intends to mar
ry if she will have him. Should the
man feel encouraged or not, provided
he was given knife sharp as razor,
and in unguarded moments. forgot his
proper table manners and lapsed into
the old habit of eating with his knife?
He cut his tongue, also his lips, each
time he forgot his manners by using
the knife. All this in view of the fact
that the young lady was aware OF his
occasional lapse into feeding with the
knife, she having dined before in res
taurants with him. The other knives,
even the carver, were not nearly as
keen-edged. In fact, the other knives
at the table were very dull. The one
the man had could not have been
keener if it had been sharpened to
shave with"
"You see the loving young man
blanching at the steel, the sweetheart
cruel only to be kind, papa and mamma
looking on in amazement. Embar-
raised by their presence, dazzled by
his charmer, fascinated by the perilous
edge, the youth wounds himself again
and again, although he read treatise
on table etiquette not five minutes be-
fore he took fare for the house of his
beloved. There can be no doubt of
her merciless purpose. 1t is clear that
the carver is dull or papa wouldn't saw
the roast so. All the other knives look
innocent and incapable of hurting a
pie, much less man. The young mans
weapon is a trenchant blade, a rapier,
a 'razzer.' No wonder he is sore. No
wonder he goes away in sadness and
perplexity. Is she whom he thought
all sweetness no better than a savage?
Knowing this weakness, should she
not have spared him ~.
The instruction was pitiless, but it
seems to have been needed. 1t is for
the young man to be purified through
suffering. The young woman must be
a forgiving young woman or she would
have hidden him nevermore be follow
er of hers after he had knitted himself
in the paternal and ma ternal presence.
There she was justly sharp with him.
If nothing but bloodshed will cure him
of the odious habit, let blood flow! Tt
is for the fellows own good. If he can
be reformed if he can be reclaimed
from the ranks of the knife-eaters, Sc
verify must do it. No doubt kindness
has been tried at the restaurants, and
has been found unavailing. What will
teach this intracta BILE BOBBY the prop
err use of the knife? In the words of
Mrs. Micawber's papa, experience
does it.
A strange picture. this carnage in
Philadelphia, the relentless lady, the
bleeding swain angry with the hand
that guides him. The bleeding swain
ought to feel encouraged. Had he
rather jab himself with knife than
win lady who has undertaken to edu-
cate him?

Fruit Tritters.

Except where there are children to
eater for, milk buildings are rarely seen
at the home table of to-day and yet
when fruit is served at the other two
meals little variety is certainly need
ed for dinner, especially when it is
desired to make this meal finished and
attractive. Drain canned peaches or
pears and dip in a latter made as fol-
lows: Sift together cupful and one
third of -four, two teaspoonfuls OF
baking powder and quarter of a
teaspoonful of salt, mix gradually to a
batter with two-thirds of cupful Of
milk; stir in the beaten yolks of two
eggs and at the last the stiffened
whites. Cook in deep boiling fat, drain
the fruit on soft paper and serve with
or without sauce or whipped cream.
Apples peeled and cut in round slices
are excellent cooked in this way and
are relished by those who do not care
for ordinary dessert. Washington

STATE FLOWERS AND TREES.
EmbIems of the Various Comm OF.
wealths and How They Came
to BE Chosen.

Here is something that will interest
classes in the public schools. 1t is a
list of the flowers or the trees that
have been adopted by various states as
their respective emblems:
Alabama, Nebraska, Texas - The
golden-rod.
California-The poppy.
Mississippi, Louisiana-The magno-
liza.
Colorado-The columbine.
Idaho-The syringa.
Iowa, North Dakota-The wild rose.
Michigan, Arkansas-The apple bios.
som.
Utah-The sego lily.
Oregon-The Oregon grape.
Rhode Island-The violet.
Vermont-The red clover.
Washington-The rhododendron.
Montana-The bitter root.
Maine-The pine cone.
Minnesota-The lady's slipper.
Delaware-The peach blossom.
Oklahoma-The mistletoe.
New York-The rose, and state tree
the maple.
New Jersey-The sugar maple.
Kansas-The sunf1ower.
Some of the states have several flow
ers under consideration, but have not
decided on any. Illinois, for example,
has had the rose, violet and golden-rod
voted for in the order as here given;
South Carolina has partially decided
upon the palmetto, but several other
flowers Of popular choice have prevent
ed the decision; Florida is undecided,
but will probably select the orange;
Kentucky is generally understood as
favoring the adoption Of the blue grass,
and New Mexico, the cactus. The state
flower and state tree are adopted by
the vote of the pupils of the public
schools of the respective states, after
which the choice is ratified by the
state legislature.

CUNNING OF BR'ER FOX.
An Incident That illustrates t"e
Reasoning Power of the
Little Animal.

A Northumberland story comes
from North Carolina which seems to
prove that foxes, if they have not
equal reasoning powers with the hu-
man race, are at least endowed with
an excellent imitation. The story IS
vouched for by John B. Evans, chair
man of the republican state commit
tee; J. C. L. Harris, secretary OF that
committee; r. w. Logan, United
States commissioner, and J. d. Miller,
reports southern exchange. One
morning recently they were fox hunt
ing. The weather was cool and crisp
and there was just enough dampness
on the leaves and grass to give the
dogs a good scent. A fox was soon
unearthed and kept running in cir
Gle about three miles in extent. A
knoll in the center overlooked the en-
tire course, and after the hunt had
continued for some considerable time
The fox made for a giant and vener-
mile chestnut tree which had fallen
across a ravine. Into the hollow tree
dashed the fox, the dogs being about
40 wards behind. Reynard was seen
to emerge from the other end OF the
log and soon made off through the
forest.
The dogs were thrown off the scent
at the hollow log, but soon caught it
AGAIN across the ravine and kept up
the chase for about half an hour more.
Then the fox once more disappeared
IN the hollow log to emerge as before.
The dogs again trailed on, but in
about another 30 minutes the fox for
the third time entered the log and
still again disappeared in the forest
across the ravine. The dogs were
about used up by this time, though
the fox appeared to be quite fresh
after the third trip through the log
The hunters noticed this unaccount-
able circumstance and began to sus-
pect something. They securely closed
up one end Of the log and when
REWARD for the fourth time entered
they closed up the other end. Then
they procured axes and cut into the
tree. Their reward came in the shape
of three foxes, which had evidently
been racing the dogs by turns.

Plenty of Boys in Berlin.

In general statisticians have to COM
plain of the unequal increase in the
number of female children, as COM
pared with that of males. 1t is inter-
esting, therefore, to note that Berlin,
the capital of the military monarchy
of Prussia, has always broken the rec
ord in this respect, so that Kaiser Will
helm need not fear that the ranks of
his legions will be thinned. Last year
So. 245 children were born in Berlin. OF
these 27,O77 were boys and rs, 16S were
girls, showing an increase to the credit
of the male population of 1909. Berlin,
for some reason or another, seems to
have the privilege of turning out more
boys into the world than girls, for,
taking the numbers from 1891 to 1900,
we find there was an average annual
increase in the male progeny OF the
city during the ten years OF 1861 over
the female-in other words, out of ev-
cry 1000 infants born, 513 were boys
and 4S7 girls. The year 1920 was the
record year last century, when 525 boys
were born out of 1000 babies.-London
