i 4 i] REFORM IN DINNER-GIVING. Simple Dinners Are Now Considered the Elegant Dinners. “A dinner engagement, no matter whether the dinner be large or small, formal or informal, is the most exact- ing of social obligations,” says the Ladies’ Home Journal. “Indeed, I al- ways felt a double sense of obligation when invited to a small dinner. In selecting the guests for the small din- ner choose those who are congenial. If among your friends you mumber physicians, lawyers or politicians, do not invite one of each class, nor all of one class, simply because their profes- ions are the same, but select congen- ial spirits. Then small dinners, well arranged, are much more enjoyable than one large conventional dinner served to sixty ill-selected people. The food is better. service better and diges- tion better and even when trained help cannot be employed the hostess may enjoy the occasion as well as the guests. The art of dining, remember, is quite apart from the art of giving dinners. A reform in dinner-giving is being instigated. Simple dinners are now ‘the elegant dinners.’ The man who has studied the art of living lives frugally. A hostess must never forget that during the short time her ests are under her roof she is re- sponsible for their happiness and com- rt. A huge dinner of twelve courses badly blended food is not conducive 0 either. Savarin said: ‘The dinner is a place where men are never bored for the first hour’; the insinuation that a second should prove a bore is rather prom‘nent. If people in the ordinary walks of life are to make such enter- tainments a success they must never try pew or elaborate dishes, or even new ways of serving; they should sim- ply add an extra plate or two to the usual number and invite their friends.” FORGOT HIS PARCEL. Could the Lady Have Been His Wife? A rather unique instance of absent- mindedness occurred the other evening on the Jefferson avenue car line, says the Detroit News-Tribune. The car was well filled with passengers and as a stop was made at McDougall avenue a man stepped off the back platform, where he had been standing, and the car moved on. Instantly a wild ery went up from the late p: nger, which broadened into a howl of despair as the distance between him and the trolley car wid- ened. As he shrieked he also ran and waved his hands frantical The con- ductor, seeing the shadowy form im the dimness of the night and hearing the unearthly cries, pulled the beli-strap and thus induced the motorman io halt, which he did with a jerk. The man in pursuit came within hailing dis- tance. “What d'ye want?” puncher of pasteboard. L want—the—lady—in there!" ped the man, swinging his hat at open car door. The car having dead standstill, a woman shouted the the come to a arose, deliberately walked out of the car and was received by her breath- less escort, who had so nearly left her to her fate of missing parcels. Amid much laughter the next man who left the car in company with a lady insisted that she walk in fiont of him until safely on the ground. A Boy's Essay on Juurnaiim. From toe Ailanta Consuiuuoa: A bright le hoy who attends one of the city public schools was told by his teacher a few days ago to write an es- say on “Journalism,” and the next day | he handed in the following: “Journai- ism is the science of all sorts of jour- nals. There is a heap of kinds of jour- nals. Journals is good things ‘cept when they is hot journals, and then they is just awful. My ma, she takes a fashion journal what is always full of pictures of horrid old maids with the ugliest dresses on I ever saw. The fashion journal is a heap gooder than the hot journal, ’cause the hot journal stops the train and the fashion jour- nal starts it. The fashion journal don’t stop nothin’ but the broken win- dow light and pa’s bank account. “There is sheep journals and hog journals and brass journals, too, and pa has got a journal down town at the store and writes things in it about folks he don’t want to forget. Then we had a woman ’t cooked for us named Sally Journal. She was the funniest. journal I ever saw. She was a bald- headed journal. “They ain’t no more journals that I know of. “p, S.—I forgot to say that a man what puts grease on the car wheels is called a journalist.” An Episcopal Bicyclist.

As Useful as Ever at the End of 4900 Years. How many of the engineering works of the nineteenth century will there be in existence in the year 6000? Very few, we fear, and still less those that will continue in the far-off ages to serve a useful purpose. Yet there is at least one great undertaking conceived and executed by an engineer which dur- ing the space of 4,000 years has never ceased its office, on which the life of a fertile province absolutely depends to- day. We refer to the Bahr Joussuf— the canal of Joseph—buik, according to tradition, by the son of Jacob, and which constitutes not the least of the many blessings he conferred on Egypt during the years of his prosperous rule. This canal took its rise from the Nile at Asiut, and ran almost parallel with it for nearly 250 miles, creeping along under the western cliffs of the Nile Valley, with many a bend and wind- ing, until at length it gained an emi- nence, as compared with the river bed, which enkbled it to turn westward through a narrow pass and enter a dis- trict which was otherwise shut off froma the fertilizing floods on which all vege- tation in Egypt depends. The northern end stood 17 feet above low Nile, while at the southern end it was at an equal elevation with the river. Through this cut ran a perennial stream, which wat- ered a province named the Fayoum, en- dowing it with fertility and supporting ® large population. In the time of the annual flood a great part of the canal was under water, and then the river’s current would rush in a more direct course in the pass, carrying with it the rich silt which takes the place cf manure and keeps the il in a state of constant productiveness. All this, with the exception of the traditions that Joseph built it, can be verified to- day, and it is not mere supposition or | was | rumor, Until eight years ago it firmly believed that the design has al- ways been limited to an_ irrigation scheme, larger, no doubt, than that now in operation, as shown by the traces of abandc nee canals and by the slow ag- gregation of weete water which had ac- cumulated in the Birket e] Querun, but still essentially the same in character. Many accounts have been written by Greek and Roman historians, such a3 Herodotus, Strabo, Mutianus and Pliny and repeated in monkish ges, which agreed with the folklore of the district. These tales explained that the canal dug by the ancient Is- raelite served to carry the surplus wa- ters of the Nile into an extensive lake lying south of the Fayoum, and so that it not oniy modified the clim tempering the arid winds of the desert and converting them t y into the b airs which nourished the vines and the olives into a fullness and fragrance un- known in any part of the country, but also added to the food supply of t land such immense quantities of fi that the royal prerogative of the r of piscary at the great weir was valu at $259,000 annualiy. This lake was said. to be 450 niles round, navigated by a fleet of v whole circumference w industry and prosperity. ts, and tbe the scene of cngineerin You Can Have Your Eve The ‘atest discovery of fic medical men is that the bh eye may be tattooed any color. li now quite within the bounds of p: nility tor even doctors to taltoo a man’s eye bright scarlet or green. Of course, eyes are tattooed only in cases weere one of them ‘s blind and has assumed in consequence a peculiar dead aad ghastly appearance. An eye in this condition will entirely disfigure a face, but a moderna gculist may color one of these “dead” eyes and restore it to iis natural appearance, so that nothing but the closest scrutiny can detect the difference between it and its fellow. The operation of tattooing is perform- ed by first treating the eye with co- caine until it becomes absolutely sense- less to pain. When all is ready the part to be operated upon is covered thickly with India ink of the required color. The tattooing is then per- formed by means of a little electrical machine which operates a specially made needle.— Answers. The Diver's Heavy Dress. The dress of a fully equipped diver weighs 169% pounds and costs about $500. It is made up, among other things, of 8% pounds of thick under- clothing. The dress itself weighs 14 pounds and the heavily weighted boots weigh 32 pounds. The breast and back pieces weigh 80 vounds and the hel- met 35 pounds. "She greatest depth et which a diver can ordinarily work is 150 feet. though there are rare in- stances of work being done at a depth of 210 feet, where the pressure sus- tained is 88% pounds to the square inch. It is not generally known that the present system of diving was first suggested by the action of the ele- phant, which swims beneath the sur- face, breathing meanwhile through its trunk, which it bolds above the water. —New York World Oat of the World.
