sIaahfnZ of Salads.

Too many people who are well bred
in nearly every other respect are guilty
Of the solecism-to call it by the mild
est name-of cutting up their salad on
the plate Of course salad has some
times to be reduced to lower dimen-
sionS. SO to speak, but it need not be
done by the wholesale or quite in the
businp&Slike fashion practc"d by
some. Crasping a knife i'll one hand
and a fork in the other, they slash
away ut the inoffensive green stuff
with vigor and a noise Of a miniature
moving machine until the bruised
leaves are converted into shreds Of
their former selves. There is common
sense in the convention that prohibits
such course. Nearly all green salads
are broken into pieces Of convenient
size before sending to the table. Even
when these are too large the leaf
should be quietly divided with fork,

RECEPTION TO MR.. BRYAN.

Hon. NJ. J. YeOmanS, chairman
of the state Democratic executive
committee, has appointed a COM
mittee of ten prominent and lead
ing citizens of Georgia to arouse
enthusiasm with a view Of send
ing a delegation to New York to
take part in the reception to be
rendered Hon. William Jennings
Bryan upon his return to this
country from a tour around the
world.
This committee has been ap-
pointed by Chairman Yeomans at
the request of Hon. Norman E.
Mack, chairman of the executive
committee having in charge the re-
ception to be rendered Mr.. Bryan
on August 80.
Mr.. Yeomans and the special
committee of ten will urge loyal
and leading Democrats of Georgia
to go to New York on this occasion
and assist in giving Mr.. Bryan a
rousing reception.
1t is expected that quite large
delegation will 60 from this state
on this occasion.
Governor Terrell, Chairman
Yeomans, Congressman Adamsor
and many other leading Democrats
of Georgia have been invited and
urged to attend the reception, and
it is probable that Georgia will be
ably represented and take prom
inent part in adding enthusiasm
when the former leader of the
| Democratic party returns to his
native country from his triI
around the world.
The Times Recorder hopes tina
every Democrat who can possibly
do so will go to New York and takt
part in perception.

Two Types OF Biographical Writing.
1t is en- interesting face in the history
Of literary genres that two Of the great
examples OF biographical writing occur
almost side by side, Less than a decade
separates the completion of Johnson's
Lives of the Poets" from the publica-
ton of his own life by Boswell. Yet
with the latter book a new type of
biography came into being. Johnson,
in the main had, like most Of his pred
ecessors, followed a simple narrative
and expository method, prefiXing a
plain story Of the poets life to a sys-
tematic account of his character and a
critical estimate of his works. He
gathered his facts and impressions to-
gether and spoke for the author and for
himself Boswell, on the other hand,
making use of a more dramatic meth
cd, succeeded in his attempt to let the
author reveal himself, and, instead of
an exposition of character, painted a
picture of personality to which his own
comments were subordinate. What we
see as q type of mind and character in
| Johnsons work we see as a living man
| in Boswell.-William T. Brewster in
| Forum.

The republicans are already be
coming alarmed over the situation
in Iowa, where standpatism seems
to ihave won a pysch1c victory.
They fear revolt in their own
ranks, which, with the increase in
democratic votes in that state, may
sweep the state into the democrat
ic column at the fall election. The
platform which Gov. Cummins
was forced to accept at the Des
Moines convention, seems to be a
boomerang. The sentiment for
tariff revision will not down.

Here is a golden nugget from
the teeming brain of Sam w.
Small: "Your ballot is simply
you. The only reason you don't
get in the box yourselfis because it
is too small to hold you. And this
being true you put alittle piece of
paper through a hole in the ballot
box, and that paper expresses
your heart and thought and life.
And no man has a moral right to
put a piece of paper in the sacred
ballot box which he is not ready
to redeem with his life before God

1t is curious that monkeys SHOULD be
thought to be infested with what nat
uralists call the Pulex irritams and
what ordinary people know as the flea.
As every zoologist is aware, monkeys
have neither feas nor any other para

they differ vastly from man. As a
matter of fact, when monkeys begin
to pick each other about in the friend

merely detach bits of hardened seba-
