Dining Customs.

A student of social customs has call
ed attention recently to the fact that
man eats today practically the same
viands he did in ancient times. How
ever far back we push our researches,
the foundations of all dishes are the
same-the same birds, the same meats,
the same fish-though perhaps the list
Of the ancients' fish is somewhat more
extensive. Modern man has forgotten
the flavor of the porpoise or dogfish,
and in the north, at all events, has
learned to shudder at the suggestion
of a dish Of octopus. The meats, the
courses. the principals and in some
cases even the names remain the same.
In spite of Alexandra Dumas asser-
ton that napkins were first used in
the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries
they must have been of much more
ancient origin, since the Roman cuisine
necessitated their use much earlier.
Giles Rose, master cook to Charles H.,
gave methods for folding them in va
riety of ways, but the general adop-
ton of forks among the middle classes
did away with the serviette to great
extent. At dessert, when the cloth
was removed. bowl Of water was
presented to each guest, and this stood
on a plate covered with square cloth,

ARTIFICIAL ICE.
Principle Upon Which This Commod.
ity Ia Manufactured.

Principle Upon Which This Commod-
ity Ia Manufactured.
The principle upon which the manu-
facture of ice is based is that a gas
when compressed gathers heat enor-
mously, and If robbed of this heat and
allowed to escape at a future time 1t
seeks to regain it's heat by withdraw
ing heat from its surroundings. AM
monia gas is generally preferred to
others because it can be liquefied with
comparatively little pressure. On re-
moving the water from common am
monia by distillation anhydrous am
monia is obtained. This is compressed
by combined steam pump and a COM
pressor, and the resulting nquefaction
induces heat, which is economical by
circulating water about the vessel or
pipe containing the. liquefied ammonia.
Thus the ammonia Is cooled and the
heat largely transferred to the water,
which is then pumped back to the
boiler that supplies the steam pump.
The liquid ammonia Is then carried in
q pipe to expansion coils that afford
plenty Of room for it's evaporation,
when it begins to return to the gaseous
form and to draw heat from its sur
roundings. which gradually reduces
the temperature. Proper vessels Of
water are placed In contact with the
expansion coils, and in due time ice
is formed.

FLOWER AND TREE,

Keep begonias where the air is not
too dry. and they will not drop their
leaves.
In watering house plants sufficient
should be given to soak the soil thor
oughly.
A tree is nearly dormant In winter,
especially one that has been lately
transplanted.
Plants in a dormant state require
very little water during the winter,
and IN excess will cause decay.
Drenching rosebushes with strong
quassia tea is good curative Of bugs
and other destructive insects and pests.
To root cuttings quickly fill a saucer
full of sand. into which the slips may
be set. Keep the sand the consistency
of mud.
Never give up a decaying rosebush
until you have tried watering 1t two or
three times a week with SCOT tea for q
short time.
Reporting Of plants becomes neces-
sary for two reasonable plant uses
up the available fertility in the soil
and fills the pots with roots.
To prevent crotched trees from split
ting after they come into bearing twist
and fasten two small limbs together,
and as the stem grows it will prevent
splitting.
Cuttings of quick growing herbace-
GUS plants, like heliotrope, verbena,
phlox. geraniums, root quickly, chrys-
anthemums quickest Of all. Choose
cuttings when the plants are most Wig

The veteran. half unconscious by
reason of the terrible pain he was suf-
fering, at first paid no heed to the pow
erful figure bending over him. For a
few moments he groaned and tossed
about, but slowly, surely, the stronger
one was gaining the mastery.
Old Kenesaw now glanced into the
penetrating eyes and turned away, but
again he looked and again. He SEEM
ed powerless to look elsewhere. Grad
ually the moaning ceased; he became
less frantic. Presently the body was
motionless. The thin lips moved, but
no sound came from them. Only his
rapid, labored breathing could be
heard. s4
Thus far the hypnotist had said
nothing. His dominating mind and in
tent gaze alone had sileEced the cries
made the mind of his subject insensi-
BILE to the terrific process that was fast
bringing his lite to an end. But he
was going further. Selling both the
patients hands in his own. he shouted:
Here comrade, comrade! Wake up!
Come, come; it will never do to lie
there! Come on, or the ambulance
corps will be picking you up! The bull
let stunned you. old man. Come on!
They need us at the front. Don't you
hear the cannon booming and the rifles
cracking? Kenesaw! Kenesaw! Ken
esaw! Hooray. we've got 'em on the
runv' ...-
The Illusion had gone home. AS the
dying veteran listened to these startling
words he drew himself up to a sit
ting posture and passed his wrinkled
old hands over his glazing eyes as if
to remove something that was obscur-
ing his vision. Great beads of perspi-
ration stood out upon his pale face. and
an unearthly fire came into his eyes.
The lips that had failed few minutes
before now found utterance:
Hist! Is that you, Cottrell, old
pard? Give me your hand! Thought l
had lost you in that last charge. No.
no; it don't hurt now; jest a scratch.
Where's our company? Sure! That's
our guidon half way up the mountain.
Hooray! Give it to 'em, boys! Come
on. Cot; give me your hand. old pard.
1t seems bit smoky, but come on;
we've got 'em on the run. Hooray:
Hooray! Hooray!'
AS the final shout of triumph came
from his lips he sank back upon the
pillow, and the sweet smile lingering
on the furrowed old face told that he
had died happy. Old Kenesaw had
fought his last battle.-Chicago Rec

PROTECTION OF WORDS.
Plea For q Rest For Our Famaliaz
Quotations.

4 Plea For q Rest For Our Familiar
Quotations.
In these days when everybody is
writing and everybody seems to sue
ceed would it not be well to start a
society for the protection of words and
phrases? Many of these are SO bru-
tally overworked by the amateur. The
winged words. the words that burn.
the thoughts that breathe. the telling
phrases, do they not clamor loudly for
a rest? That very sentence affords an
illuminating example of what mean.
How apt. how vivid. how expressive it
would be If all it's epithets had not lost
their vitality through overwork! To
the stated reader the whole sentence Ia
but the echo of an echo. 1t not merely
means nothing, but it il robbed even Of
it's sound and fury.
The greenhorn that complained Of
Hamlet that it was too full Of quota
tons unconsciously expressed great
a wrongheaded way he pointed out that
constant reiteration has reduced the
grandest passages in the language to
mere commonplaces. Give our familiar
quotations rest. Lay to sleep our
household words. Let fortune for
awhile cease to favor the brave. Let
us feign that the poet is made. Let a
man who would steal another's thun-
der be arrested for felony. Let MS win
no more golden opinions. Let the ia
vored few withdraw to some select se-
clusion and the countless thousands to
some dry eyed privacy.
Thus may nouns, adjectives and
phrases. after long rest. reawaken
with the freshness of the morning upon
them, their original meanings recreat-
ed. energetic. effective. brilliant. as on
the day when they were first conceived
and brought fOrth.-Era.

Quaint Plea For q Pension.

All sorts of special pleas have been
made in applications for pensions. One
of the most ludicrous was made in
Portland. When the applicant was
asked is he ever served in the army or
navy, he said, "No." Asked as to
what grounds he based his application
on, he said that he was in eastern Or
egon when the Indians went on the
warpath; that in making for point Of
safety he and some other men were at
tackled by the Indians, one Of the other
men being killed and another wounded.
He escaped on account of the fieetness
of his horse, but the encounter caused
him such excitement that he had had
occasional fits ever since, and on &C.
count OF the fits he thought he was en-
titled to a pension.-Portland Orego-
nian.

HE FILLED THE BUCKET.

A story of Grant When He Was .
"Pleb." at West Point.
There is story told of General Grant
when a pleb. He had just entered on
his first day in "pleb." camp. A first
classman who had noticed the boys
strong build intimated to him it would
be pleasure to have him call imme-
diately at the seniors tent. Grant
went. There is a rule at West Point,
which was q rule then as well, that any
cadet who asks another to perform
mental labor for him shall be dismissed
from the service. The first classman
knew too much to ask his pleb. visitor
outright to do anything of the kind,
but here is the way he went at 1t:
81 presume, Mr.. Grant, that you have
lived on a farm. and, this being the
case, you have had undoubtedly good
opportunity to note the effect Of the
suns rays on certain objects. Now, If
you had left water bucket that was
innocent of holding a single drop Of the
fluid out in the sun from it's rising to
its setting, what do you think, sir,
would be the particular effect upon that
particular water bucket"
II think" said Grant, ''that it would
get warped and leaky."
Every good. Mr.. Grant. You show
erudition beyond your years. Now, If
you will notice my water bucket, you
will see that it is as dry as a chip.
Now, by the further exercise Of your
knowledge. Mr.. Grant, can you tell me
by what means l may prevent the
warping and leaking of my bucketT
"Have it filed" said Grant
every good again, Mr.. Grant, but
note that you said have it filed not
fill it. That necessarily means that
some one must fill it for me. You have
shown SO much acumen that fear
to violate your prescription either in
letter or in spirit. which l should do If
presumed to carry the bucket to the
water tank myself"
|. Grant filled the bucket.
