No sweethearting In Ireland.

Through a great part of Ireland pub
lie opinion nodded by the clergy, sepa-
rates the sexes as far as possible. AT
the church door and wherever else they
congregate~men group on one side, wo-
men on the other, 1t is not well
thought of for people of opposite sexes
to be seen walking along the road to-
gether even to a market. The position
certainly of some ecclesiastics has
been made definite by the refusal of
certain bishops to allow mixed class
es2 in branches of the Gaelic league,
On the whole, public opinion discour-
ages whatever can be justly or even
unjustly set down as sweethearting.--

Charles v. Liked Mechanics.

Charles V. of Spain, like Louis XVI.
of France, was particularly fond Of
timepieces and had decided taste for
mechanics. When in Germany he in
vented a carriage for his own accom-
mediation, and after his abdicatfon he
would amuse himself in making little
puppets-soldiers performing their ex-
ercises, girls dancing with their tam
bourines and little wooden birds that
would fly in and out of the window

DINING TABLES.
The Transition From the Festive
Board of Primitive Man.

The Transition From the Festive
Board of Primitive Man
The first dining table was probably
just block of stone or log of wood.
but even primitive man must soon
have discovered that these devices did
not provide for the comfortable dis
p0sal of his legs and have set about
taxing all his ingenuity to invent some
thing else. 1t is probable that as the
result of his cOgitations a rough hewn
piece of board supported on two big
stones came into fashion among the
elite in these far prehistoric times.
The early trestle table which was
used in the beginning of the fifteenth
century consisted Of a parallelOgram of
wood, fashioned into board. resting
upon two or more pedestal-like sup
ports. And we have reminiscence OF
this movable kind of table in the ex-
preston, "A seat at the board" today
while that of taking the chair Is OBJ
viOusly survival of the time when
chair was the place of honor reserved
for the master of the house or given by
the grand seigneur to the guest whom
he wished TO honor, the other diners
sitting upon rude benches placed at
the side of the table.
One can imagine the inventor seated
at the head of his new dinner table,
clad in his best bearskin and surround
ed by select and admiring company
of his intimates, who ate roast flesh
literally off the festive board and who
drank the first toast at this first prime
val dinner party in his honor in cool
water from stream hard by From
this stage to planks resting on rude
trestles would be an easy transition,
and civilization had Of course made
considerable progress before the sup
ports and the board were Joined as one
piece of furniture.

cali Saturday for the money due him at
the counting room. As the proprietors
liaG agreed to pay his fares to and
from Augusta that sum was also due
him in addition to his salary.
Nothing was seen of him around the
Office again. He retired to his room in
he Winthrop House. where he engaged
board, shortly after supper Saturday
evening. Al S O'Clock. Miss Sylvia Cove,
TIE daughter Of the proprietor of the
hotel and who occupied room next
to Peiliins's. heard the man struggling
and breathing heavily. Later She
heard him Sroan three or four times,
and finally these sounds ceased. Miss

at the time and made no comment on
the occurrence to her father.

II o'clock, Lester Cove. the young son
of the proprietor, entered the room oc-

That something WAS wrong, called 9TH
crS about the house.
Sheriff Frank !. Ham was notified
ana lie called at the house, examined
the body and called Coroner II. w.
Piummer. After an examination, Cor
Cncr Piummcr stated that death was
due to brOmidia poisoning. Whether
Perkins committed suicide or whether
lie accidentally took an overdose of the
deadly mixture is Z matter of conjec-
ture.
The body was fully dressed. A search
of the personal effects of the man dis
closed little information that might
lead to n more comprehensive identi-
fcation. He had no money and very
little clothing and other property.
Sheriff Ham communicated with the
Newspaper Mems Exchange and it is
probable that through this agency the
relatives of the man will be notified of
his death.
Coroner Plummnr found 10 empty l.
ounce bottles that had contained bro
midia and two others which were par
TALLY filed with the stuff. From drug
eistS' labels or these bottles it would
appear that Perkins was addicted to
tho habitual use Of the drug and he
had purchased it in Boston. Brockton
