TABLE NAPKINS.
They Came Into General Use In the
Fifteenth Century.

Curiously enough, that article, now
considered almost Indispensable, the
table napkin, was first used only by
children and was only adopted by elder
members Of the family about the mid
die of the fifteenth century. In eti-
guette books of an earlier date than
this among other sage pieces of advice
for children are instructions about wip-
ing their fingers and lips with their
napkins.
1t seems that the tahlecloth was long
enough to reach the floor and served
the grown people in place Of napkins.
When they did begin to use napkins
they placed them first on the shoulder,
then on the left arm and finally tied
them about the neck. A French writer
who evidently was conservative and
did not welcome the napkin kindly re-
cords with scorn:
THE napkin is placed under the chin
and fastened in the back, as If one
were going to be shaved. A person told
me that he wore his that way that he
might not soil his beautiful frills"
It was n difficult matter to tie the
two corners in the back, and il is said
that thence originated our expression
for straitened circumstances. Hard to
make both ends meet" This custom,
led to the habit of table waters carry.

Deserved to Win.

New Castle deserved to win. In the
jump off Richmond took the lead and
gave the impression of being able to do
things TO our visitors. When dust
settled at the close of the first period,
the score stood . to | In favor of the
Quakers.
This peeved our visitors and in the
second period they raped two into
the local draperies. In this inning
the New Castle outfit began rough
proceedings and this strenuous policy
was quickly ADOPTED by the Quakers.
The locals, however, in their roughing
tactics carelessly overlooked the finer
points of the game and threw team
work to the breezes. New Castle did
not overlook this bet when they got
their mad up, and as a result put the
kibOSh on our pets.

COUNCIL
The council met last Monday
night and held short session, as
many of the aldermen wished to-
attend the concert at the Metho-
dist church. Present: Mayor Mar
tin in the chair. Aldermen Luek,
RyaIis, Pritchard, Sheldon. Kreg-
er. Rainey and Hawley Absent:
Alderman Nelson.
Little of any moment transpired
outside of the introduction Of two
ordinances relative to the change of
water mains from Cherry street
to Oak street, and also on Boxelder
street, a matter which was dis
.cussed at the past meeting of the
council and referred to- the water
committee. There. was some dis
.pute at the time between Col.
Slower representing the Water
Co. and the city, the former argu-
ing that if any changes were made
under the new franchise the city
was to bear the cost, while the city
on the other hand argued that the
company had promised to make
the change Of mains at its own
cost, and that the city would not
pay. This was the position of.
matters at the last meeting Of the
council. The feeling Of the COM
mittee expressed itself in the in.
| PRODUCTION of the two ordinances
referred to. The removals are con-
sidered necessary owing to the
closing of Cherry street and the
opening of Oak street north, and
the desire is to bring the mains
into the main street. The same
applies to the main near Boxelder
street.
TROUBLE AHEAD
It is safe, to say, Judging from
the confident attitude of Col. Stow
er at the last meeting of the coun-
Gil, and the recent action of the
city in demanding the removal Of
the mains to the new locations,
that the city is determined to car
