REAL MISTRESS OF HOUSE
In o|den Days, Among Other Accom-
lishments, Woman Was Required
to Be Expert Carver.

In the matter OF old time etiquette
at the table one recalls the past
played by the lady Of the household.
In the eighteenth century she was mis-
tress of the ceremonies carved
and she dealt the while her lord mere
ly pushed" the bottle.
She was also the menu, for If she
gave a dinner OF several courses it
was her duty to announce to tho
guests, seated expectantly, what was
due to appear at table. A dinner Of
one course and she remarked that
they saw their dinner
Then her powers of gentle persua-
sion came into play. A guest when
he had stuffed sufficiently placed the
handles of his knife and fork into his
plate, and the sight of knife in posi-
ton was the signal for the hostess to
inquire III he would please to have
something more"
In the art of carving, of course,
the mistress of any country house
was a past mistress. One recalls Lady
Mary Montagu's flight after perfec-
ton under the wing Of professional
carving master: "She took three les
sons week, that she might be perfect
on her fathers public days; when, in
order to perform her functions with
out Interruptions, she was forced to
eat her own dinner alone an hour or
so beforehand"

BOOKS THAT THE BOYS ENJOY
Philadelphia Press Makes Denial That
Children Of Today Are Wiser
Than Parents Were.

An English trade publication, after
q prolix and protitless discussion OF
the risks OF issuing juvenile literature.
makes this portentous statement:
IT he simple fact is this-children to-
day are wiser than their parents were.
They don't want Robinson Crusoe or
Alice In Wonderland. They are up to
tho Had and Dante's Inferno while
their parents are reverting with de-
light to the immortal books they
scorn."
We doubt that, says the Philadei-
p11la Press. A healthy boy wants and
enjoys boys books. Jules Verne
wrote them for him: so did Henty, by
the score, so did Noah Brooks. The
beauty about the boy Is that his it,
erary taste-if he is properly reared
natures with his years. He cannot
be always tied to apron strings: he
escapes from the Swiss Family Robin
son to the search for Treasure Island;
presently his adolescent eye widens
to the Gathering hoofs OF The Three
Musketeers.' Then. as he has aged
he has saged; in the words OF Robert
Louis Stevenson himself, he takes
horse with 1Artagnan." Thenceforth
he may open with impun1ty the pages
of Virginibus Puerisque.
Meanwhile his parents have re-
traced their steps. They are reading
again with astonished minds the class
les Of their childhood. They see amaz-
ing beauties, forgotten or unperceived.
They are barking back. They are boys
again.

JUSTICE OF AN ARABIAN CAD|
How lbu-8echtn Taught His Sovereign,
Fl Hacchem, Valuable Lesson
in Right.

The following story is told of one
of the Arabian caliphs Of Cordova:
Ell Hacchem, the son and successor Of
Abderahman III, desiring to enlarge
his palace, proposed to purchase from
a poor woman piece Of ground that
lay contiguous to it, and when she
could not be prevailed on to part with
the inheritance of her ancestors, the
caliph's officers took by force what
they could not otherwise obtain.
The poor woman applied to Ibu-
Rcchin, the cadi, or chief magistrate
of Cordova, for justice The case was
a delicate and dangerous one to med
die with, but the cadi resolved, even
at the sacrifice of his life, to recall
to his masters recollection a truth
that the best of rulers will sometimes
forget He mounted his ass, and, TAX
ing large sack with him, rode to the
palace of the caliph. The prince hap
pened to be sitting in pavilion that
had been erected in the poor woman's
garden
Prince of the Faithful" said Bech-
IN, prostrating himself, Il have come
to ask permission of thee to fill this
sack with the earth upon which thou
staudest."
Hacchem, although considerably sur
prised at such a request, cheerfully
allowed him to fill his sack. When this
was done, the cadi besought his SOW
eteign to crown his goodness by aiding
him in loading his ass with it's bur-
den. This extraordinary request sur
prised the calinh still more, but he
yielded to the cadrs ertreaty, and at
tempted to raise the sack 1t was so
heavy, however. that he could scarce
ly lift it.
How thinkest thou that I can lift
such a bcrden7" asked Hacchem,
laughing.
prince Ut Believers" replied Bechin
with impressive gravity, this sack,
which thou f1ndest so heavy to bear,
contains but small part of the
ground that you took by violence from
the rightful owner. How, then. shall
you be able, at the day of judgment,
to support the weight of the whole?"
The caliph, struck with this address.
embraced the cadi, thanked him, &C.
knowledged his fault, and Immediately
restored to the poor woman the field
Of which she had been despoiled. to-
gether with the pavilion and every.
thing it contained.
The praise due to despotic SOW
erign capable Of such action is inferior
only to that which should be accorded
to the cadf who induced him to Der
form it.
