THE LEONARD,
A. Clark, Proprietor

A quiet, homclike hotel, formerly
known as the Clark boarding house.
The Leonard has grown to large pro.
portions, and is a delightful place to
stop when wishing to be away from the
hustle Of business, though only two
blocks from the business center of the
city. Mr.. Clark has, by painstaking cf'
fort, built up a fine business for his
house. The rooms are all neatly fur
nished, well ventilated, homelike and
clean, and the table is all that could
be asked for, and a delight to the APP
petite Of the most exacting. There is
no hotel in the Capital city more
pleasing to the traveller than the Leon.

Table Manners In Argentina.


Eve encamped near a swamp" says
q gentleman, describing a meal he had
several years ago with some cart driv-
ers in South America. land supped on
sliced pumpkins boiled with bits Of
meat and seasoned with salt. The meal
was served In genuine pampa fashion
One iron spoon and two cows horns
split in halves were passed around the
group, the members of which squatted
upon their launches and freely helped
themselves from the kettle. Even in
this most uncivilized form of satisfy
ing hunger there is a peculiar etiquette
which the most lowly person invaria-
bly, observes. Each member of the
company in turn dips his spoon or
horn into the center of the stew and
draws it in a direct line toward him,
never allowing it to deviate to the
right or left. BY observing this rule
each person eats without interfering
with his neighbor Being ignorant of
this custom, | dipped my horn into the
mess at random and fished about for
some of the nice bits. My companions
regarded this horrid breach of polite
ness with scowls of Impotence. They
declared with some warmth to the cook
that foreigners did not know how to
eat apologized as well as | could
and endeavored thereafter TO eat ac-
cording TO gaucho etiquette"

When Oliver Goldsmith was strug-
Cling for his education at Trinity col
lege, Dublin, his soul was narrowed
by the mental duties he had to per-
form as "sizar." Even today the
term sizar is nearly synonymous with
poor student" at Dublin, but the la
bors in connection with the position
are much less strenuous than they
were formerly. The sizar received his
commons" and tuition free, in return
for which he was expected to sweep
out the courts in the morning and car
ry the dishes from the kitchen to the
dining hall of the fellows of Trinity.
These offices remained associated with
the sizarship for half a century after
the author of the "Vicar of Wakefield"
had entered the university and left it.
They were abolished in a dramatic
manner.
On one Trinity Sunday there was a
crowd to witness the ceremonies in
the college. AS sizar passed by with
a dish of meat for the fellows saucy
citizen of Dublin jeered at him as a
mental. The angry sizar flung the dish,
meat and all, at the head of his tor
mentor. He was sharply reprimanded,
perhaps because of the loss of the
meat, but the STARS were never again
asked to perform the Duties which
saddened the soul of Goldsmlts while
he was at the college.-Chicago News.

Females First, Males second.

One spring | observed with much IN
terest a phoebe bird building her nest
not far from my cabin in the woods.
The male looked on approvingly, but
did not help. He perched most Of the
time on a mullen stalk near the little
spring run where phoebe came fof
mud.
In the early morning hours she made
her trips at intervals of a minute or
two. The male hirted his tail and
called encouragingly, and when she
started up the hill with her load he
would accompany her part way, as it
were to help her over the steepest part
then return to his perch and watch and
call for her return. For an hour or
more l witnessed this little play in bird
life, in which the females part was so
primary and the males so secondary.
There is something in such things
that seems to lend support to Professor
Lester f. Wards contention. as set
forth in his "Pure Sociology" that in the
natural evolution Of the two sexes the
female was first and the male second;
that he was. in fact. made from her rib.
so TO speak. and not she from his

Two old fellows in New Hampshire

Of brooms and the dickering began.
Cy was a man who could see a bar
gain through a six inch plank on a
dark night, and Ezra could hear a dol
lar bill rattle in a bag of feathers a
mile off. Well, they began, and their
conversation was something like this:
Ezra, l want to sell you these
brooms"
"All right, Cy; I'll take them"
Cy said: Il don't want any store bar
gains. I'll want cash for them"
They talked and gadded awhile, and
then Ezra said: "I'll tell you what I'll
do, Cy. I'll give you half cash and
half trade"
Cy took a fresh chew of tobacco,
pulled straw out of one of the brooms
and said:
"That'll be all right, Ezra"
After he had put the brooms in the
store Ezra said: Here's your money,

Cameo Cutting.

Before the discovery of onyx as the
material specially adapted for cameo
cutting the ancients cut them on soft
stones, eggshells and other materials
The Greco-Roman. and especially the
Augustan, period was rich in canoes,
and almost every great Roman wished
to have his portrait cut in onyx. One of
these, an exquisite portrait of Emperor
Augustus Caesar himself, is perhaps
the finest existing cameo. Such pOr-
trait canoes were practically indestruc-
tible, except by accident. Some large
cameos-the Triumph Of Bacchus' at
the Vatican, the agate de There" at
Paris and the "Gemma Augesten" at
Vienna-are splendid works of art.
There was change from the classi-
cal and NEUROLOGICAL designs of Greco
Roman times to Christian themes in
the fourth century. when Constantine
the Great became a Christian.
At the renaissance classical art re-
covered it's lost position. Renaissance
cameo cutters were very skilled work
men, but in spite of their general high
level they did not succeed in making
any very important cameo, although
the "Hymeneal Procession Of Eros and
Psyche" res Lied high price.
