CH0PSTICKS ARE NOW PASSE
Chinese Insanitary Methods of Eating
Affected by European and Ameri-
can influences.

Fancy yourself n guest for the first
time at Chinese dinner. In front of
you, as you seat yourself on your back
less chair, are small plate, spoon
for soups, and pair of chopstlcks.
OF the intrlcacies of the manipulation
of the latter nothing need here be said
1t Is matter of practice. Each course
Is brought on in large dish and placed
In the center Of the table. The service,
then, Is simple; each person serves
himself, and the service is direct.
You will, and so will everybody else
at that table, put your sticks into the
dish In the center, convey therefrom
food to your mouth, insert the sticks
into your mouth as far as you choose
and return to the center dish for more.
Nathaniel Pfeffer writes in World Out
look. BY the time each guest has had
three helplngs 1t will require sklllful
maneuvering to get a piece that has
not been touched over by sticks that
have made at least two trips to at
least one other persons mouth.
The sanitary consequences are OBJ
vfous. As the chain Is as strong as
Its weakest link so the health of that
company Is as good as that of Its sick
est guest And II you have been
brought up under the tutelage of occl-
dental doctors and have an uncomfort-
able knowledge of germs, your mind
dwells uncomfortably as you eat, on the
condition of your fellow-guests. If by
chance your vls-a-vis remarks In pass.
ing that he has a bad cold, your hun
ger may be appeased quite suddenly.
Little by little, however, this Is be-
ing changed. Today In the homes Of
many upper class Chinese, who have
been educated In Europe or America
or have come into contact with foreign
influences. the system Of individual
dishes and individual service is COM
Ing more and more into use.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO

The nation lost one Of it's great men
in the death of James G. Blaine. It.
is not the great party leader whom the
people mourn, but the man whose
forceful character and intense human
ity gave us the highest type Of man
hood. With all his ambition, with all
the strife which he welcomed, and
shared in with the confidence of con-
scious strength, there was an element
in his character which won devotion
much more deep than that which ad-
miration for brilliant gifts could in
spire. Blaine coped with great men
for the glory which would attach to
his prowess; he fed the partisan flame
for the political advantage which
might result to him; he was ineXorable
in passionate denunciation of political
opponents and insensibe to mercy in
forensic strife; yet the hostility he
provoked as party leader was never
directed at him personally. For a
time Blaine usurped the place OF party
as a target for the shafts of the op.
position; his personality blotted out
all discernment of party, and his ira
ditions gave way TO his magnetic lead
ership. He welcomed the combat,
though il was one man against well
organized, well disciplined party and
under circumstances which would
make the party, whose functions he
had assumed, blench. He did not cone
cut of the contest victorious; neither
was he defeated, but his continued
supremacy was assured. The point OF
attack was Blaine, but it was not
Blaine whom it was sought to injuire.
His popularity suffered no diminution
either as an individual or a party lead
er.
Audacity, tenacity, magnetism, In
tellectuality, persuasiveness; eloquence
and good fellowship were united in
him in such degree that any one,
to the same extent, in another in
dividual would give him prominence.
Here was man with something In
him which every one could admire
though 1t might be coupled with some
thing which might meet with dsap-
proval. Such exuberance OF strong
features could not fail to enchant, and
make OF Blaine a man destined to be a
leader unil death had cut him Off.
Blaine's craftsmanship qualities
were allowed development when the
conviction was forced upon him that
the presidency was beyond his reach;
or rather that he had reached beyond
it and had not the power TO shorten
bis extent OF grasp. He had made
TOO much preparation for the prize he
coveted and went beyond IL in his ef
forts TO make It's possession secure.
Even when stricken in health he
was great. The only path TO success
in the campaign OF 1892 was tina t
blazed out by Blaine. But reciprocity
was lost N the Jungle OF McKinleyism
and did no more than TO furnish evil
dence of Blaine's political sagacity
This country has produced few men
greater than Blaine. IL he erred 1t
was because his mind had too expan-
sive reach to examine closely what
appeared little things TO him. He Is
mourned by the people as q great man
should be.

BASKET BALL.

The atmosphere has been charged
with basket ball the past week. 1t
carries one back decade to the time
of the famous teams at Two Rivers,
Port Washington, Fond du Lac and
Portage. There certainly has been a
local revival of interest in the county.
Manitowocs crack team, the Kiels-
meirs, played Two Rivers best, the
A. G. team, a game Friday at Two
Rivers and Saturday at Manitowoc.
Manitowoc won FRIDAY on the enemy
floor 35 to q and the Two Rivers boys
duplicated the trick on their rivals
floor here Saturday 30 to IA. At Two
Rivers Friday the Kielsmeier's looked
like sure-nuff champs. The game was
never in doubt, and when it was over
the crowd of rooters who had accom-
panied the team gave an exhibition of
delirious JOY that was spectacular.
They had no cause for JOY the follow
ing evening in their home town. AT
the half the game was II to 10 in favor
of Two Rivers. When the second half
opened the Two Rivers boys went
away with an exhibition OF sparkling
basket ball that bewildered the locals
and put them into trance from which
they never emerged till the game was
over. Over 200 Two Rivers fans we're
there with megaphones, horns, sirens
and bells. 1t was the big time for the
basket ball fan. The stage and CALLER
les were crowded and the crowds in
the corners interfered with the play at
times. Basket ball is surely looking
up again.

TOPPING Potatoes.

Attempts at removing the green
tops of potatoes ON the assumption
that they detract from the tuber de-
velopment have proved 1t poor
plan, and in the majority of cases
where records We're kept, the topped
potatoes produced the poorest tuber
crop weight, though In some In
stances the potatoes were larger.

Need EneraY.Yleldlnn Foods.

Persons who are doing heavy phys
ical labor and very active children
need more energy-ylelding foods than
those engaged in mental work or light
physical labor Some of the principal
energy-yleldlng foods are cereals,
bread and butter, corn breads, white
and sweet potatoes, cream, and other
wholesome fats, and sweets.
