The Way One Must Eat In England

In polite society in England a
fish knife is always served with fish.
You will take it for butter knife,
but as you will look in vain for the
butter you are safe in using it for
fish.
Bread is served as an article of
food and is not used as a pusher.
The fork is always kept in the
left hand, not juggled from one
hand to the other. Vegetables, in
GLIDING peas, are mashed on the
back of it with knife.
Small knives and forks are serv-
ed with all fruits. Under no cir
cumstances is fruit desecrated by a
touch of-the fingers. A fork and
dessert spoon are served with all
desserts. You push the confection
on the spoon with the fork and
proceed as usual.
Tea, coffee and cocoa are not sip
ped with spoon. A teaspoon isto
stir with. After it has served that
purpose its little mission is over,
and it reposes placidly on the

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 13.-In a
red hot article embracing many
columns Major E. B. Stahlman to-
day replies to the front page art
icle and editorial in the Tennes-
sean of Sunday. In this reply he
lays bare the record of Senator
Lea since his entrance into politics
and his election to the Senate by
fusion votes. He handles without
gloves Senator Leafs checkered
career of double dealing and de-
ception," referring tohis actions
relative to Crump as that of
"sycophant," charges that he has
stood for questionable measures
and for unworthy men for office,
and again characterizes the
charges of the Tennessean as a
deliberate falsehood." He charges
that Lea has used his position
merely as a means to destroy
what fusion has stood for and to
set himself up as a political boss
and a dispenser of federal pie.

to further his own ends and has
for one of its purposes the de-
struction of what fusion has stood
