geous piece of red velvet embroidered

replaced by another carpet and is re-
turned to Cairo with great ceremony.

Served Alphabetically.

Roman emperors who Toasted CO
piously and sumptuously had no menu
card. so they often spoiled their en-
joyment of a banquet by eating too
much Of one dish and passing over
something they specially liked. Ac-
cording to Montaigne. one Of the Ro.
man emperors, devised an order for
serving dishes which enabled him
roughly to foretell what was coming
next: "Geta. the emperor. would have
all his messes or dishes served In at
his table orderly, according to the first
letters Of their names, as for example,
those that began with p, as pig, pie,
pike, buildings. pouts, pork, pancakes.
etc, were all served In together. and
30 Of all the rest"

RIOTISM.

What is patriotism? Is it a
narrow affection for the spot
where a man was born? Are
the clods where we tread enti-
tied TO this ardent preference
because they are greener? No.
sir; this is not the character of
the virtue, and it scars higher
for it's object. 1t is an extended
self love, mingled with all he
enjoyments of life, and twisting
itself with the minutest filaments
Of the heart. 1t is thus we obey
the laws OF society because they
are the laws Of virtue. In their
authority we see not the array
of force and terror, but the VEN
cradle image Of our country's
honor. Every good citizen makes
that honor his own and cherish
es 1t not only as precious, but
sacred. He is willing to risk his
life In its defense and is con-
scious that he gains protection
while he gives it.-Fisher Ames,
in Congress. 1896.

Matthew Cummings, Of the Fedora
tion directorate, past national presi-
dent of the Ancient Order OF Hiber-
mans and a leader i'm Irish American
affairs, proposed the resolutions which
were passed by acciamation. The res
olutions read:
whereas the Congress Of the
United States did duly enact and
The President OF the United States
did thereupon sign an act granting
TO United States vessels the use or
the Panama Canal without the pay
ment Of tolls, tonnage duties or any
charges whatsoever, and
whereas II Is reported and be-
lieved that In Difference to tire rep
resentations of the British Ambas-
sador at Washington the President
is about to recommend 10 Congress
the repeal Of that act and the i'm
position of tolls upon American ves-
sells engaged in the coastwise trade.
and
Whereas such repeal and the i'm
position Of such tolls Will enable the
transcontinental railroads to add "a
sum equivalent to the tolls so I'm
posed to their rates for shipments
from ocean to ocean; Therefore, be II
Resolved: That the Federated Irish
Societies Of Massachusetts do here
by condemn the effort to repeal this
law and to impose these tolls and de-
