wh., women Carved

Tn George Is reign it was the bound en duty of the mistress of country house to carve for her guests. Eti- quette demanded it of her. and ns one might relieve her of her arduous task. not even the master. To the latter was only assigned the easy labor of passing the bottle and looking on while each joint was placed in turn before his wife or daughter, as the case might be. and by her rapidly manipulated. Carv- ing became one of the branches of a good feminine education. and there were professional carving masters who taught the young ladies. Lady Mary Wortley Montagu took lessons in the art three times a week and on her fathers public days made a practice of having her own dinner an hour or two beforehand. A guest who did not receive his portion from his hostess own fair hands would have consider ed himself much aggrieved.-London Spectator.

Recl &Anel nf Dasfh.

Most of .s are familiar with the beautiful and artistic conception of French wherein a young sculptor who is plying his magic chisel upon a block of stoue and ~summoning from the snowy depthsIof the marble the dream face of his souls ideal is gently touch d by the wistful eyed angel of death and the skillful arm forever stayed. The whole creation is marvelously beautiful, and the world is, better for its birth Nevertheless it is allegorical and misleading. The real angel of ceath in the case of the thin faced sculptor was not a sad visaged maiden of classical profile. In all proba bility 1t was a minute. rodlike organism float ing amid notes of dust and known to scientists as the bacillus tuberculo- sis" The writer does not want to be shatterer of ideals, but the sooner such poetic notions of death are done away with and the mass of the people educated in a common sense way to the dangers of dust and bacteria the better 1t will be for humanity in gen. eral.-J.

A Wonderful Machine.

The machine by which railway tick cts are printed gives an exhibition of intelligence or what looks very like it. Railway tickets gre not. as might be supposed, printed in large sheets and afterward cut up. The cardboard is cut into tickets first and printed one by one afterward. The little blank cards are put in pile in kind of perpendicular spout, and the machine slips a bit of metal underneath the bottom of the spout and pushes out the lowest ticket in the pile to be printed and eonsecutiyely numbered. It is of no use trying to print bad ticket. The machine finds out an inn perfect blank in an instant and flatly refuses to have anything to do with 1t. Tear off the corner of one of the bits of card and put it into the spout with the others in order to see what will happen and it refuses to budge again until somebody comes and removes the impostor Pull out the damaged ticket and the mechanism will set briskly to work again.-Philadelphia Record

A Picture of lhsen.

Tn Schurmann's Secrets de Cou- lisses'' is a picture of Ibsen at the summit of his fame. When Ibsen had completed new play the Copenhagen newspapers announc ed the event with great flourish of trumpets, and added: 'The master will deposit his manuscript at the National theater at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning." At that hour the road between Ibsen's house and the theater was lined with reople. The great man appeared with his precious roll of paper neatly tied up. AS 1t slipped through into the letter box the public gave great shout. The philosopher acknowledged the demonstration with grave bow and retired within doors with the con- sriousness of having performed a glorious mission. Every one of bis ordinary acts in public was accom- panied by something of the sort. and even when he sat the curtains of the window were drawn aside so that his features might be visible to his ad- MirerS outside.

 The Socialists of this town held a well attended meeting, Sunday after noon, Nov. 19, in the large hall in Hotel Fairfield. T.

Voight of Hartford, was the second speaker, who spoke upon the necessity of the workers to organize themselves into political party of their own. At the close of his address considerable dis cussion took pace.
 Two factions of the Socialist party were present. The ones calling them selves Old Local Bridgeport were in seeming control of the meeting
 The opposing faction seemed to be of the opinion that if this meeting to organize the voters of Fairfield in to a Socialist local was being held under the auspices of Old Local Bridgeport, it was irregular and seemed inclined to think that Local Fairfield, if organized, would be out es@o of the Socialist party of the State.
 rms inference, Mr.. Voight explain ed, was wrong and that Local Fair field would be in the Socialist party of the State.
 MT Perry of Fairfield, also took this view, and in reply to a question ask cd him, stated that those who were obiecting to the organizing of a local lad the same opportunity to organize Fairfield, but had not done so.
