When Women Carved.

In George LIS reign it was the bound
en- duty Of the mistress of a country
house to carve for her guests. Ell
quette demanded 1t of her. and no one
might relieve her of her arduous task,
not Eel the master. To the latter was
only assigned the easy labor Of passing
the bottle and looking on while each
joint was placed in turn before his wife
or daughter. as the cas- might be. and
by her rapidly manipulated. Carving
became n Of the branches Of q good
feminine education. and there were pro-
fessional carving masters who taught
the young ladies.
Lady Mary Wortley Montagu took
lessons in the art three times a week
and on her fathers public days made q
practice of having her own dinner an
hour or two beforehand. A guest who
did not receive his portion from his
hostess " fair hands would have
considered himself much aggrieved.

Washington. Feb. A. Secre.s~y
Hitchcock has decided that the state
Of Minnesota is not entitled to schoo!
sections on the four coded townships
on White Earth reservation and that
payment must be made to the govern
ment for timber sold by State Auditor
Dunn from this land. The department
has. therefore, made. or will soon
make. formal demand on the state to
turn over the money derived from
these sales, which will be placed to
the credit Of the tribe in the treasury.
Some time ago a similar ruling was
made relative to sales Of timber from
the school sections in the Red Lake
reservation. and the state turned over
al the money 1t had received on that
account without demur. The depart
ment officials believe the state will paw
for White Earth timber just as prompt.

the state is not entitled to school sec

organism. This was the great funda-

that these microscopic parasites cause
disease by certain chemical poisons
