THE SOUP PLATE.
A Seventeenth Ceatury Cookbook
Tells why 1t Was Invented.


A valet of Louis XIV. published n
cookbook in 1850 in which he gives as
follows the reason for the invention OF
the hollow soup plate:
The plates of the guests will be hol-
low i'll order that they may help them
selves TO as much soup as they may
want without being obliged to take it
spoonful by spoonful. because of the
disgust they may have for one another
on seeing the spoon 90 from the mouth
TO the turecn.
Guests. II will be- seen. used their
own spoons to fill their plates. the large
spoon to he used for serving the soup
not being invented till some time later.
Yet even hundred years after the in
vention of the soup plate 0I40 work
on civility advised that all the dishes
should be so placed on the table that
every one could reach them with his
spoon and that if the soup was served
in dish (tureem every one should
help himself with his own spoon with
out seeming to he in II hurry. \ work
on manners that appeared just before
the French revolution deemed It best
to advise its readers that it was impo-
lite to pass the spoon back and forth
between the mouth and the tureen.

What Meerschaum Real1x.Is.

There is a very general impression in
the minds of smokers that the meer-
schaum part of the pipe, which they
treasure so carefully and take SO much
pride and satisfaction in "coloring," Is
compressed sea foam. Such, however,
is not the case. The German word
meerschaum means in English foam OF
the sea, but its formation has nothing
to do with the sea. 1t is kind Of clay,
comes out of mines like coal and Is

A Titled KleDtomani MAC.

A titled kloptomaniac of three quar-
tiers of a century ago was the Countess
of Cork. She had a reputation for
stealing anything she could lay her
hands on, whether it was useful or
valuable or not. Once, when leaving a
country house where she had been
staying she saw and quietly picked up
a hedgehog that was crossing a hall,
a pet of the porter's, and took 1t away
in her carriage. Finding it an I'M
comfortable foot warmer she decided
to dispose of it at the first town where
she changed horses and then offered
it to a confectioner in return for q
sponge cake.

A Trick With nm Egg,

Place two V shaped wincglasses of
the came size near the edge of table.
In the right hand one put an egg, just
fitting the rim Of the glass. Hold the
bases of the glasses firmly down, the
top rims touching each other. Now,
with quick, sharp breath, blow upon
the line where the egg and the glass
meet The egg will jump to the other
glass. With little practice this can
be done every time. BE careful TO
blow in line with the left hand glass,
or the egg will jump in the wrong di-
rcction and land OH the table with dis

The Bounty That Is Cleaned From =
Barren shore,

Barren ShOre.
In bygone times it was the practice
of the Newfoundland coast folk to APP
propriate everything they secured, but
this lawleSSneSs had to be Sternly re-
pressed. Now the unwritten rule Is
that they get half their hand" or so
per cent, as salvage. In portable and
valuable articles, such as silvcrware,
there is still n strong temptation TO
keep the whole, bat the punishment is
severe. Champagne. liquors, cabin
stores and the like have also IL trick
Of disappearing, and i'll the poorest
fishers cottage you will come upon
rare china, dainty napery, Silverware
of price and wines to tempt an cpl
cure. The SalvUrs are reckless and I'M
thinking. and rs they gather in hun
drcdS every man pre-emptS what he
can. In the rush there is much de-
StrUycd. When the Hprder was lost
i'll 1852 they burned whalebone worth
$4,000 Il ton to save leather costing
20 cents Il pound. In the Emmelfne
wreck of 1900 they trampled crates of
costly glassware to get at four cases
of French prayer books valued at p
cents apiece. On one occasion two
salvors had got ashore IL piano and
We're adopting the Solomon-like eXpe-
dent of saving it in half when Il
shrcwdpr chum bought it from them
for bottle of whisky looted from the
captains cabin. When the GrasbrOok
went ashore in 1890 every man on the
shore provided himself with Il German
c0ncertina, of which instruments of
torture she had large consignment,
and To secure them packages of mich
more costly freight were thrown over
board. When the Orion. from Balti-
more for Copenhagen. struck the back
of Cape Race and went to pieces she
had Il large consignment of bicycles
on board, and they were auctioned in
st. Johns and disposed of all over the
island. The Abbcymores ladins in
1875 included some cases of splendid
English rifles for Canada, and thcse
are now to be seen adjoining every

The Crops AN RIsht

The crops are all right and looking
fine, Notwithstanding that the month
up to Sunday was woefully deficient in
moisture compared with the normal,
which for May is about 81 inches in
this locality. The total precipitation
for the first tw%enty-three days was
but Ill inches. Nothing was suffer-
ing, however, nor showing need of
rama fews showers from time to time
keeping things growing. The sub
soil, though, was not as we'll filled
with moisture as last spring and crops
lily prepared for a drouth. The rain
of Sunday was not a bit too soon and
went right into the ground. Grass
started early and kept growing right
along and the pastures are excellent.
Small grain looks exceedingly we'll
also. No corr is up yet and potatoes
are slow in appearing, owing to late
planting and the cold, backward
spring. Garden potatoes, however,
putin shallow with a hoe are ready
for cultivation.
Did you ever think how strange it
is the way certain wild animals and
birds follow civilizations: There's the
little cotton-tail rabbits-not a
natural habitat Of this country
and nov there are lots of them about
town-and very tame-because nobody
molests them. And how did the rats
get into the Dakotas?: 1t is reason

the birds. A few hundred miles mean.

At a Joint meeting OF committees
from the old settlers organization OF
Brule and Lyman counties, held at
Oacoma, Saturday, it was decided to
hold the annual picnic jointly on
American Island On July 4th. Plans
are being arranged for a base ball game,
horse races, a bowery dance and a
multitude of games of one sort and
another. About $500 will be raised
for purses and expenses.
The GRAPHIC does not approve OF
Sunday base ball-though its editor
confesses to have seen-and will prob
ably continue to sea game now and
then when it is impossible to see the
great national game played by pro-
%fessionals at any other time. The
celebrated Algona cake walkers play
the Sioux City league team at Cham
berlain Sunday-and when you see
these coons play ball you can say that
you have e e the best that's going
for they are that very thing-bar none.
