ORIGIN or THE sERWErTE
Napkins First Provided for Children
When the Adults Used the Long
Table Cloth.

Whoever has thought that chill
dren were the means of making the
napkin an indispensable part Of po-
lite usage at the tableP Yet such
is the case. When tablecloths were
introduced, early in the fifteenth
century, they we're very long and the
part which dropped from the table
was spread by the grown ups in their
laps and used as napkins now are.
But children could not manipulate
the tablecloth dextrously, and SO
small pieces of linen were provided
for them.
Soon the elders took to the idea
and table napkins came into fashion.
1t was still the thing, however, to
spread the edge Of the tablecloth in
the lap and the napkins we're placed
on the shoulder to keep them out of
the way until needed. From this
they we're hung on the left arm and
at last tied about the neck.
When finally their popularity was
established the tablecloth in the lap
was Abandoned and the napkin
found its present place. The French
introduced the napkin and at fash
ionable dinners it was the custom to
have a fresh one at every course, the
linen being delicately perfumed with
rose water.

ELECTRIC HEATED GARMENT
Lounglng Robe Of Wool That VIII
Warm the Wearer to 1885 Degrees
Fahrenheit.

The newest invention in therapeu-
tics is the electric heated garment.
At present it is made up in the form
of Longing robe of wool material,
containing an interlining in which
1000 feet of specially constructed
copper wire is inserted. This wire is
as pliable as thread, unbreakable and
durable, and SO light that it only
adds about twenty ounces to the
weight of the robe. After electric
connection is established a gradual
rise of temperature takes place to
about 1875 degrees F. The body
warns up in the same proportion,
giving a very pleasant sensation.
The temperature is regulated by
simple switch, held in the hand. The
connection may be made to any cleo
trio light circuit, direct current or
alternating current having a differ
ence of potential of 10 volts.
The uses of this electric heated
garment are manifold and the re-
suits so far obtained are favorable.
1t is recommended for invalids and
is a comfortable possession.-Tech-
nical World.

HEROES OF FUTURE YEARS
Worship Those Who ExceIled In
the Gentler Arts.

As we grow older-and wiser
our style of heroes will change.
With increasing knowledge, we
will cease worshiping at the shrine
of warriors, who, after all is said and
done, are nothing more than survi-
vors and heirs of the biggest, most
brutal of our cave-men ancestors ;
and we will pay more attention to
those who have excelled in the gen.
tier arts.
For instance, one hundred years
from now there will be found more
statues in the public parks erected
to the memory of Thomas Edison
than to Hiram Maxim.
Edison has helped and delighted
millions; Maxim has invented guns
to kill thousands.
Our foolish worship of Napoleon
Bonaparte will turn to tender rever-
ence for Doctor Lorenz. Napoleon
sacrificed thousands Of lives to gain
his personal ends; Doctor Lorenz.
the great Austrian surgeon, sacri-
feed time and money to teach young
physicians how to cure hip dis
ease"
We will learn to think better of
Pasteur, who discovered a cure for
hydrophobia, than of Alexander the
Great.

Carving Meat.

To successfully carve meat one must
know how to control the knife. When
carving a slice of meat, after the first
incision has been made, the angle at
which the knife is held must never be
altered, or jagged slice will be the
result
The cut should be direct, sharp and
incisiye. The saw-like motion should
not enter into the operation.
AS rule the knife should be held
firmly but applied lightly, so that too
much juice will not be squeezed out
from the meat. By using the point
of the knife lightly as a wedge and the
fork as a lever, even big fowl may
be easily jointed, provided the carver
is aware of how the joint is exactly
situated and held together.

SIMPLICITY IN SCANDINAVIA
Trait Illustrated by the King Of Nor
way, Who Carried Home the
Queens New Shoes.

The scandinavian is distinguished
ay a certain simplicity of bearing far
Needing that Of the more sophisti-
atcd English-speaking world, and
ortainly the people of Sweden dis
play rather more Of the great world
manner than the Norwegians.
Indeed, the western side of the pc
1insula is comparatively rural, and
Ne Young king, seated upon little
irone, is more like the president of
rustic democracy than a crowned
monarch, so at one is he with the
common people. 1t is like playing
at royalty; and one almost feels that
he might at any moment tilt his
crown a bit askew and wink his eye.
A pretty little anecdote met us
at Christiania lately. 1t seems that
quiet tailor-made little lady went
into one of the shops one day and
bought a pair of shoes, and when the
saleswoman asked her address she
replied:
"You need not deliver them. Just
have them wrapped, if you please.
My husband will meet me here and
he will carry them"
And in a moment his majesty the
king came in, took the queens par
eel and they walked out together as
if they had never heard of the crown
of Norway.-Harper's Bazaar.

CARING FOR FLOORS
MUCH WORK TO KEEP THE HARD
WOOD VARIETY IN ORDER.
They Are Recognized as the Best for
the Average House, But Daily
Wiping and Almost Constant
Polishing Arc Necessary.

Undoubtedly the best floors for the
average house are hardwood. but to
KEEP them in order requires work Daily
wiping and polishing are necessary,
but the beauty resultant more than re-
pays the trouble, and such floors, I'M
less they are abused, wear well. Their
responsiveness differs according as to
whether or not they are parquetry or
plain. If drawing and living room
floors can be finished with a border
they are more effective, but even in
those places design is not necessary
What is required is perfect position of
the boards, that is, close together and
smooth, SO they can be kept In the
highest state of polish and cleanliness
When a house that is occupied the
entire year is fitted with hardwood
floors the problem of carpeting is
solved, for IN the winter rugs can be
used, while in the summer the boards
may be left uncovered. The latter eff
feet is cool and pretty
For general durability there are COW
erings which conceal unfinished floor
ing and are more easily kept clean
than Competing. In these days of fire.
quent moving, when housekeepers do
not like to have carpets and mattings
cut to fit rooms, rugs of endless variety
and material come in prices which are
equally varied. A wilton or tapestry
carpet cut like large rug and fin
ished with a wide border is practical in
many different places, and a rough floor
may have a border stained to make a
suitable finish
For summer, or to use all the year in
bedrooms, mats of straw are extremely
pretty They come in straw colored
grounds with designs of various Sizes
They wear well and are easily kept
clean.
Nothing could be prettier than some
of the hand woven rag rugs. They
have the merit of washing, when soiled.
and have sufficient warmth to be good
for the winter and yet light enough
for summer wear. In many summer
houses they are used exclusively in
the upstairs rooms and large ones are
exceedingly nice in dining rooms. They
can be woven to order and for dining
rooms round ones showing a border of
color are both effective and
Rag carpeting also comes now by the
yard and by many persons is preferred
to mating because of the way dust
Sits through the latter Rag stair car
peting is extremely pretty.
A floor covering which has cork in it's
composition has come into favor for
bed and billiard rooms as well as din
ing rooms. 1t is rather thick and has
some give" and may be washed with
soap and water as a bare floor 1t is
the common covering in many English
nurseries owing to its hygienic quail
ties. The stuff comes in only a few
plain colors and may serve as a back
ground for rugs.

his desk in the office of the Daily

MOST DEADLY SERPENT.

Probably no other spot in the
known world has such a death-deal-
ing reptile as has the French island
of Martinique, in the Caribbean sea.
1t is the fer-delance, scientifically
known as "trigoncephalus lancela-
tus," that can lay claim to being the
most deadly serpent of the earth.
There are eight distinct varieties,
the most common being a dark gray
and black speckled, which coloring
enables it to conceal itself easily
among roots and stumps of trees.

Christmas Is Coming.

The father of a family of half
grown children remarked that he
was thankful his children had
reached the age when they could
remind him Of birthdays and an
niversarleS, and tell him what to
get for their mother.
For the fathers and husbands
who do not know what to get for
Christmas for their wives, this is
not a bad idea. Children usually
know the weak points in their
mothers wardrobe, or what she is
longing for for the house; but don't
wait until the last minute to find
out, and then take what you can
get for lack of time to send for
what your wife wants
Don't be afraid to buy wearing
apparel; you may not get what
your wife would, but she will prize
what you select more than any
hing she could buy herself 1t is
we'll, however. to get the privilege
If exchanging if not satisfactory.
Subscriptions to magazine are. al.
ways acceptable; also a really good

Steers Driven Up The River.

GAINESVILLE, Mo, Dec. 1S.-A load
Of steers were driven FROM Town
is AMI to TibbittS Island on dry
land in the middle Of the MisSlSsip-

The sandbar extends from one
island to the other, due to the low
stage of the river, and the cattle,
owned by Mayor Buchanan, follow
ed this route.
John o. Roberts, president of the
Clifford Banking Company, who
was steamboat clerk in the six
ties and has resided in GAINESVILLE
continuously since that time, says
the river is lower here now than
ever before
Persons from Illinois drive half
way across on dry sand and are
met by the GAINESVILLE ferry, which
transports them to the Missouri
shore, while Rprth of town there is
one place that can be waded from
shore to shore.
This section has had no rain for
