Ancient Rules For Carving.

Our ancestors fully recognized the
value of good carving, and many were
the rules by which a carver was eX-
pected to be governed. The ancient
"Boke of Kervyng," among other
things, admonishes him to touch venison
only with his knife and to "set never on
fyche, flesch, beeste ner fowle more
than two fingers and thumbe." Fin
gers he was naturally obliged to use
since forks were luxury Of later date
and were not iE private use until James
rs reign. Piers Gaveston, the favor
lite of Edward H., had three silver
f. ks for eating pears, but this was re-
garded, no doubt, as great and spe-
cial luxury.

ADDICKs OUT OF THE FIGHT
Delaware Republicans Can Now Unite and
Elect Two United States
Senators.

Dover, Del, Feb. 6.-J Edward Ad-
dicks, in q statement issued yesterday
withdrew as a candidate for United
States senator in the interest of two
Republican senator's. In his statement
Addicks says that his withdrawal is
on condition that the Republicans Of
the house and senate meet in joint
caucus and elect two candidates for
United States senator by majority rule
His friends III the legislature interrupt
ed his remarks with protests against
their tenor.
The sudden announcement that J.
Edward Addicks had withdrawn from
the candidacy for United States sena-
tor, which he has urged so persistent
ly since 1895. created an immense SEN
satiOn, but up to this writing there is
no indication that the anti-Addicks'
men will go into a caucus; indications
are the other way.

Coal Strike Commission.

Philadelphia, Feb. 1O.-Arguments
for and against the demands of the
union anthracite mine workers. which
will continue before the coal strike
commission for the next six days, was
begun when the miners, through Dan
lei J. Mccarthy of HaZleton. made the
opening argument. Mr.. Mccarthy
was followed by former Congressman
Brumm of Mjnersville, who made &
general argument, and Henry Demar-
est Lloyd of Chicago, who confined his
efforts to the question Of recognition
of the union and yearly trade agree
ments. Mr.. Mccarthy prefaced his
address with a little personal history
during which he said he went into
the mines at the age of 8 years, and
was familiar with the industry and all
the labor troubles in the coal regions
since 1868

According to writer in Health hon.
ey is a valuable medicine and has
many uses. 1t is excellent in most
lung and throat affections and is often
used with great benefit in place of cod
liver oil. Occasionally there is a per-
son with whom it does not agree, but
most people can learn to use it with
beneficial results. Children who have
natural appetites generally prefer it to
butter. Honey is laxative and soda
tive, and in diseases Of the bladder and
kidneys it is an excellent remedy.
1t has much the same effect as wine
or stimulants, without their injurious
effects, and is unequaled in mead and
harvest drinks. AS an external appli-
cation it is irritating when clear, but
soothing when diluted. In many places
it is much appreciated as q remedy for
Group and colds. In preserving fruit
the formic acd it contains makes a
better prese;vative than sugar sirup,
and it is also used in cooking and con-
fections. Honey does rot injure the
teeth as candies do.

ONE THOUSAND Persisted
FrightfuI Result of Tidal Wave and
Hurricane in the South Sea-
Islands.

San Francisco. Cal. Feb. 10.-Nevs
Of a storm in the South Sea islands
which caused the death OF at least
1000 persons. has been received here
by the steamer Mariposa which ar
rived direct from Papiete, Tahite island.
The disaster took place Jan Is, when
a huge tidal wave and a terrific hur-
ricane swept over the Society islands
and the Tuamotu group. dealing death
and destruction everywhere. The
storm reigned several days. reaching
it's maximum strength between Jan.
II and Jan. 1G
From the meager news received at
Tahite up to the time Of the sailing of
the MaripOsa. it is estimated that
1000 of the islanders lost their lives.
It is feared that later adyices will add
to the list.

Employers Are Organizing to Fight Such
Strikes as the One in the
Skyscrapers.

Chicago, Feb. 10.-No progress was
made yesterday in the efforts to bring
about a settlement between the strik-
ing elevator conductors and the Build
ing Managers association, and the in
dications are that a general strike in
all the buildings controlled by the as
ISOLATION will be ordered. This will in
clude even the scrub women, who have
recently been organized. The teamsters
will not haul coal to the buildings, and
the case is getting desperate.
1t is reported, on apparently good
authority that the employers of the
city, becoming alarmed at the aggres-
Siveness of the unions especial
ly the transfers union - are organ
iZing to fight such strikes as the one
in the tall buildings, where synlpathet
ic strikes cause so much complication.
The employers particularly object to
the attempt Of the teamsters to COM
pei owners of office buildings to use
coal all the year round.

capped rocks and stony arroyas of Ari-

concentration. Not a syllable escapes
him. His pace varies from no visible

with a rapid glance behind, he glides
along slowly and with eyes glued to

Cuckoo T)mstOms In ENGLAND,

There are cor were not long ago in
different parts of England remnants Of
old customs marking the position which
the cuckoo held in the middle ages. In
Shropshire IT'LL very recently, when the
first cuckoo was heard, the laborers
were in the habit of leaving their work,
making holiday Of the rest Of the day
and carousing in what they called
cuckoo ale. Among the peasantry In
some partse0f the kingdom it was con-
sidered to tbe very unlucky to have no
money i'm your pocket when you heard
the cuck00ss note for the first time i'm
the season.
