The antiquary took down a small.

clasp.
This is a Book of Manners" he
said. ut was printed in 1476. Here
are few extracts"
And he read:
DO not gnaw a bone, like a dog.
nor suck the marrow out of a bone.
I'm peeling a pear, begin at the
stalk; but with an apple, begin at the
ton.
DO not wipe the hands on the
clothes, nor suck them, but use the
cloth.
when you drink, lift the cup in
both hands; you must not drink with
one hand like a WAGNER when he is
greasing his cart wheels.
wipe your nose and mouth when
you have drunk, and do not cough into
the cup.
do not eat an apple all alone, but
cut it In two and give nelghbor a
piece.
do not use your own knife to cut
your meat If the host has set a knife
of his own at your place.
do not spread butter on bread with
your thumb"

Friday. Dec. IL.

Washington, Dec. 14.-But for the
cowardice Of 100 members of congress,
the house today would have adopted the
amendment to the legislative appropria-
ton bill increasing the salaries of sena-
tors and representatives from 5000 to
81, 800 per annum. Practically every
man who voted against the increase did
so from fear that his vote would react
and result in his defeat two years
hence, and nearly every man who voted
negatively saw grab in the legislation
proposed. The legislation was entirely
meritorious.
The three congressman from Wash
ington voted for the increase. Binger
Hermann voted against it, but he would
not be beneficiary French, of Idaho,
was not present.
Representative Jones, of Washing
ton, today introduced bill proposing
to increase by 20 per cent the salaries
of all civil service employees of the gov
eminent on July l next.
The first salary amendment to the
legislative, executive and judicial APP
preparation bill today was moved by
Littauer, of New York, and was as fol-
lows:
"On and after March 4, 1907, the
compensation of the speaker of the
house Of representatives and vice presi-
dent of the United States shall be at
the rate of $12, 900 each"
By vote of PA to 81 the amend
ment was adopted. Littauer also in
troduced an amendment increasing the
salaries of the members of the presi-
dents cabinet to $12, 900 each, effective
on and after March 4, 1907.
On division, the amendment was
adopted 204 to 60. Littauer also offer
ed an amendment increasing the salar-
les of senators, representatives in con-
gress and Delegates from territories to
81 800 per annum. On a rising vote
after considerable debate, the amend
ment was defeated by vote of 1876 to
l61.
After disposng of the salary ques-
ton the house passed the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation
| bill.

After answering the telephone and

those musical sounds which resemble
the buzzing of the flies attracted the
