In the name of the Inventor of forks and of common decency, what do you mean by eating like that? You are in the beautiful electric lighted dining room of a hotel of a great city. Handsomely dressed, well bred ladies and gentle men are eating their dinner all around you. and eating nicely, too. but there you sit. a mud splotch upon a fairy canvas, the wild Invar of the woods not to offensive in the act of devouring bis food as you are. "You are well dressed, considering You even hare an expensive diamond ring on your finger. Yet there you sit. shamelessly shoving back Into your big mouth cauliflower upon the end of your knife. It does not stick upon the knife very well, so you actually take the fingers of your left hand and pile the cauliflower upon the knife and steady it there while you lift the thing to your mouth. Oh. you animal! Wbat was the broad pronged, handsome sll ver fork beside your plate made for? For ornament, was it? But 110! Per haps you think it was made to pick your teeth with. We shall see. "Spectacle to cods and men you are— you. a well to do American citizen, on your travels. An Eskimo savage squat ting upon the ground, tearing raw fish and putting It Into his mouth with his fingers, looks tio whit worse than you Beside you sits your wife, who eat 9 In a respectable way. but she does not seem to mind in the least that you are making such au unholy show of your self." It Is probably now too late for this man's wife to admonish him success fully as to his manner of eating or the niceties of common p liteness. Old men are apparently past learning any thing. But suppose his wife had tak en him young, while he bad more re gard for her feelings. Could she not have shaped his manners over so that at least he would not have been a rank offense to every refined, well bred per son But the masculine sex has to be caught young in order to refine It.and if " 's~' ' LOOK AT HIM LATINO. fcere is where women are lamentably remiss and sharply to blame.

Train them—() ye gods, that I must say it!—educate them, by severe measures, if necessary, to grow to manhood without contracting that most unpleasant practice a people ever Indulged In. but which Is the disgust ing mark o f the American male the world over—the unspeakable expecto rating habit.

During the several days of pleasant ' weather excellent progress has been ; made by the carpenters at the new mill of the Reading Iron Works. About one half of the structure taking place of the i mill burned is now under roof. This includes three spans, 83, 75 and 50 feet wide, with a lean-to on the north and south sides. The new structure already begins to show up quite imposingly. In the old mill there was a large middle span with a lean-to north and south In the new structure the three spans are of equal height making the building ap pear higher and much more massive in appearance. The lumber for the new mill has now all arrived except what is needed for the lean-to. on the north side, which will be occupied by the roll shop. There are some fifty carpenters employed at present, with about half as many labor ers. Nothing is needed now, therefore, hut agreeable weather to push the work speedily toward completion. From present indications it is not like ly, however, that the mill will be readx cor operation much before spring. An mmense amount of work still remains obe done in addition to the carpenter work. Much delay may be occasioned by the steam, water and blast pipes ;vhich remain to be installed.

If you are feeling badly you can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's .Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and biadder remedy. It corrects inability to hold urine and scald ing pain in passing it, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night.

Then the wily in ventor found a way of extracting sill; | from wood, though of course the silk- j worm does this, only in an indirect j way. Now it is threatened by a spe- > cles of spider which has been found in Madagascar. The spiders spin away 1 merrily and have no objection to their produce being stolen from them. In I fact, tbe process is said to give them an appetite. If these insects are not mere freaks of nature, the silkworm may soon have to shut up shop Teaching and tnnnnlty. Professor Zimmer of Berlin said in a report of investigations be made io , Austria. Switzerland. Russia and tier- i many that in every eighty-five woman insane patients oue was a schoolteach er. According to a report recently made at the Insane asylum in Elgin. 111., one patient iu every siity WM a teacher. for the Shopictrla. Congratulations are In order. For years it has been the thought of work ing women and those interested In j their welfare that the shopping hours were too long. They made a demand j far too great upon the powers of the clerks and girls behind the counter. But nothing apparently could be done 1 unless the consciences of all women could be roused to the need of a change. It Is therefore with real gratl- j tude that the women of Philadelphia welcome the effort that Wanamaker's , store Is making toward this needed reform. This shop Is now closed every day at : 5:30 Instead of »3. thus giving a half hour's rest daily, a benefit which counts up rapidly In the mouth. This is a step In the right direction, and tbe way to prevent any retrograde movement and to Induce other stores to follow this example Is to be strict with ourselves and do no shopping lat er than 5 o'clock. A little self control, a little forethought, will produce the deßlred result. Shopping women will themselves feel the benefit of a rule which sends I hem home to a half hour's rest before din ner and forces them to leave the shop 9 and crowded aisles for a more lelsureJ" home going In the open air.— * nv " Ills Slse.
