4 CcoRDING to the reading Of
y the stars this is an unimport-
- ant day. Mars. however, is IN
malfic aspect.
Ali the signs appear 10 be men
acing for war, the forecast OF evil
eliminating for a great crisis in the
spring.
Under this rule there is 4 threat
ening condition for machinery of
every sort Accidents are likely to
be more numerous than is usually
the case.
The seers declare that the stars
guiding the kaiser have caused him
TO delay his most terrible plans for
attacking Americans, but warning is
given Of dangers in store for March
At this time the sea and public
buildings appear to be indicated as
under sinister sway.
Warning is given that the king OF
England comes under an aspect which
threatens serious disturbances in Ire
land and India He viii also have
trouble with his cabinet. astrologers
declare. and may have to combat rev.
dictionary forces among this people
Uranus stationary to the radical
sun, appears to presage for France
unusual political troubles.
saturn IN the ascendant from jan
uary to June is read as unfavoraoie
in the horoscope Of the king OF Italy.
All the signs appear to bode i'll
for the next six months, but this
may mean merely that the worst
comes just before the best. which
is victory. or at least a decided gain
for the allies.
This is not an auspicious rule OF
the stars under which to begin a
journey
Again the warning, which the seers
have repeated again and again for
the last three years, Is given, that
thrift must be cultivated.
Persons whose birthdate il is are
likely to have a quiet year, but they
are warned of false friends

augury Of great success through their

railroad experience Of director gen.
eral Of railroads ". G. McAdoo. now
In charge Of railroads throughout the
United States.
Mr.. McAdOo operated the first cleo
trio street car line in this city-for
a while. The populace was not en-
chanted with the idea OF bare electric
live wires stretched through their
thoroughfares. They foresaw all sorts
Of damage and death, and the direc-
tor general soon found his toy line
on the rocks.
The director general. however. &C
quired a great deal OF valuable ex-
perience with franchises through his
ingenious efforts to put one over on
the town council. He Juggled with
franchises on everything from main
streets to blind alleys. but the whole
works fell flat when the little line
absolutely refused TO make money
which, after ALL was the prime pur-
pose Of street car lines even in those
remote days

OF TIE TABLE QUETTE

Even at so late a period as The Res
toration, 1860, it was the custom tor
the guests to take their own knives
and forks to an English banquet.
Pepys records that he did this, when
he went to the lord mayors feast in
the Guild hall In the previous reign
the lord chamberlain had found it
necessary to issue regulations for the
benefit of the officers invited to dine
at the royal table They were re.

gers.
The Stuarts undoubtedly did much
to refine English table manners, for
it was one of the points admired by
Mary Queen OF Scots that the customs
she introduced from France made her
court and royal bauquets more eXqul
site and genteel than those of her
rival, Queen Elizabeth AS forks came
into use, the oldtime importance Of
the table napkin began to wane. From
being a necessity it became a luxury,
on the ftstidious use of which Ell
quette has at various times placed
strange values
Under the third empire in France
st. Beuve brought disgrace upon him
self because at breakfast at the Tuil-
cries he oarelessly opened his napkin
and placed it over his two knees. To
this he added the crime Of cutting his
egg in two at the middle. Court eti-
quette prescribed that the halffolded
napkin should lie on the left knee, and
the top Of the egg was TO be merely
broken with the edge Of the spoon
and drained with the top of the spoon.
For his failings in these respects
st. Beuve's name WAS struck off the
imperial visiting list.
