VISITS GRAVE DAILY.

1t is said that a man is seen to visit
a certain grave in st. Mary's ceme-
terry every morning and his actions
are somewhat mystifying to many
people. Some have thought that he
sleeps there all night, but others say
not, but they think that he has some
thing hidden by the grave and that
he goes there each morning to see if
it is all right, as the person buried
there is not related to him, c.
day the mar asked a lady resi- r
in that vicinity to loan him a SHE Il
and gave her a fright, for he said he
wanted it to dig up all of the dead
bodies in the cemetery.
1t seems as if Bergen Hill has al
ways got something to brighten peo-

The Tree Tavern.

In the Tavern of the Tree,
Listen to the revelry'
Mark the merry minstrel there,
Seated in his leafy chair.
AT his cups the whole day long,
Paying toll with siivery song.
Every draught he takes is drawn
From the cellars OF the Dawn;
Fragrant dew from fowery TASKS,
Amber air from fairy casks
Brought from Araby, and bright
With the Orient's golden light;
Spicery of buds and vines
Flavors his delicious wines.
Is it strange his lyrics hold
SO much of the summers gold?
Rapture of the roses caught,
Into music deftly wrought
Run and ripple of the rills
All translated in his ~trills;
Every sweet. enchanted thing
In his gladness made to sing,
All, my hooking bird, drink on
Till the happy day is gone;
Till the pale moor rising up
Drops the stars down in your cup.

PROPER WAYS OF SERVING
Fish-The Portions of
Salad.

To carve and serve food in an at
tractive and economical name re-
quires a knowledge of the internal
structure of the article to be carved;
this is best acquired by actual prac-
tice and long experience in the art of
welding the knife. The skill of the
butcher and the cook in doing rightly
their part. the forethought of the
waitress in providing suitable uten-
sils, and the seeming Inconsistencies
of guests as to your efforts will help
greatly.
SOUP.
Dip the ladle into the soup, take
up a full measure, keep it steady I'M
til the drop has fallen from the bot
tom of the ladle, then lift it over the
edge quickly, without dropping any
on the tureen or plate, but empty it
slowly into the plate. One ladieful
is sufficient for each plate, for it
should never be so full that it win
be impossible to pass it without slop-
ping the soup up on the rim. Crack
ers, croutons and other accompani-
ments should be served separately
and a bread plate provided on which
to lay them, to prevent crumbs on the
cloth.
FISH.
Whole fish, like baked haddock or
bass, II portions of thick fish, like
halibut and salmon, should be cut in
thick portions down to the backbone,
but not through it; then ENJOY the
bone and serve the flesh from the
underside. Thin fish for broiiing are
first split down the back, the bone is
removed and when served they are
divided down the middle. Portions
ftom the middle of each half are con.
siNered the best
SALADS.
Use a broad knife or shallow spoon
and fork for salads served in lettuce
cups, slipping them under the cup
and lifting the whole to the plate in
the same position, not tipped over.
Or lay one or two leaves Oh the plate
and put a portion of the salad in the
leayes.-Mary Lincoln.
