NEW DINNER TABLE DAINTY
Champagned Grape* Devised to
Tickle the Palates of the
Very Wealthy.
Champagned grapes are among
the newest dainties for the dinner
table. A hole is punched in each
grape and part of the meat and most
of the juice is removed.
The champagne is squirted in
through a tiny silver nozzle, and the
plug that has been removed to hol
low the grape is put back in its
place and cemented there with liquid
sugar. All that is done without
breaking the grape from its stem.
Each bunch, when champagned,
is put on ice, and the fruit is served
frozen. Most of the gas is out of
the thimbleful of champagne by the
time the grape is eaten, but the wine
flavors the fruit, and the taste is al
together out of the ordinary. Be
sides, it is a conceit that has the ad
vantage of being expensive.
CHARACTERISTIC EXPRESSIONS.
A photographer gives the follow
ing directions to his customers:
‘‘When a lady sitting for a picture
would compose her mouth to a bland
ana serene cnaracter sne snouia just |
before entering the room, say
‘broom/ and keep the expression into
which the mouth subsides until the
desired effect in the camera is evi
dent. If, on the other hand, she
wishes to assume a distinguished and
somewhat noble bearing, not sug
gestive of sweetness, she should say
‘brush/ the result of which is infal
lible. If she wishes to make her
mouth look small, she must say ‘flip/
but if her mouth is already too small
and needs enlarging, she must say
‘cabbage.’ ”
BEST APPETIZERS.
We all know how an appetizer
acts, but do we know why? A fa
mous German physician says that
hunger is caused by lack of blood in
the stomach. That lack acts on a
special nerve which is a branch of
the nerves of the tongue. Therefore,
when a spice or sharp acid is applied
to the tongue it stimulates the nerve
to action, and those pricks and spurs
to appetite are not merely the grati
fication of cranky “notions,” but a
response to natural demands. It is,
therefore, a scientific fact that those
foods which bite the tongue, which
gives a relish, in short, are the best
appetizers.
RUDDERLESS AIR8HIP.
Mme. Poppova, a Russian woman,
has invented a rudderless airship,
which she has named the annulated
dragon because of the peculiar shape
of its body. This airship is said to
adapt itself naturally to every va
viety and strength of wind. Per
sons who have examined the airship
declare that, in spite of its peculiar
appearance, it is a practical sailer.

MORE FOR USE THAN SHOW
Beautiful “Flowers" Praised by So
ciety Girl Were Designed for
Humble Purpose.
One of the cleverest girls in New
^ °rk society blushes every time she
hears the name of Octave Mirbeau,
the Paris playwright, for it reminds
her of an occasion on which she be
trayed ignorance of one of the
simplest of agricultural products.
She went with her chaperon and
several friends to the author’s Cor
meilles house to see the gardens, of
which he is prouder than of his
playwriting ability. One of the first
things that caught her eye was a
bed of green plants, tipped with red.
The contrast appealed to her es
thetic sense, and she gushed a little,
just the least bit in the world. In
dicating the parterre with the tip of
her parasol, she cried, “What lovely
things they are! You must send
me some of the flowers when they
bloom, dear M. Mirbeau.” To which,
with a laugh, the builder of comedies
returned, “You may have to wait
some time, for they are cabbages—
the kind one eats in your beautiful
America with corned beef, you
MERELY TYPICAL.
She entered a car and took a seat.
Then she opened her handbag and
took out a purse, closed the hand
bag and opened the purse, took out a
dime and closed the purse, opened the
handbag and put in the purse. She
handed the dime to the conductor
and took a nickel in change. Then
she opened the handbag and took
out the purse, put in the nickel and
closed the purse, opened the hand
bag and put in the purse, closed the
handbag, straightened her hat, felt
her back hair, pushed in the hair
pins, pulled up her gloves and leaned
back in her seat with an air of su
preme satisfaction
SOUR AID.
Napoleon was in a witty mood.
Calling his trusty lieutenant to his
side, he said:
“Antonio, I wish to ask you a
frank question. I don’t believe you
like my aid?”
“Well, general,” hesitated the
lieutenant, “to be candid with you, I
don’t.”
“And why not?”
“He’s a ‘lemon.’ ”
Napoleon laughed until his snuff
box rattled.
“A ‘lemon ?’ Ha! Ha! That’s
good. If he is a ‘lemon’ he must be
a lemon aid.”
And after such a joke as this it is
little wonder Napoleon lost the bat
tle of Waterloo.
THE REAL TROUBLE.
“Some mis-bul sinner took an’
runned off wid de collection hat las'
meetin’ day,” said Brother Dickey,
“an’ I well knows dat ef dar wuz
no sich place as hell, de good Lawd
wonld make one fer dat sinner!”
“Was there much money in the
hat?”
“No, suh; day warn’t so much ez
a brass button in it.”
“Then why are you' so mad
about it?”
“Hit wuz my hat,” he said.—At
lanta Constitution.
SENSE OF HUMOR.
“Shpuld a public man have a
sense of humor?”
“Yes,” answered Senator Sor
ghum.
“But the people want serious
men.”
“That’s the point. You must
have a sense of humor in order to
recognize anything that might prove
diverting and avoid saying it.”
8HERLOCK HOLMES.
We passed, in the course of an
hour, two dead cows and more than
50 dead chickens. A strong smell of
gasoline pervaded the atmosphere
and there were wheel tracks in the
dust.
Sherlock Holmes became greatly

deep thought, “there’s been an auto

BROUGHT TO AN ABRUPT END
Lawyer’s Oration Really Comprised
One Short and Extremely Pithy
Sentence.
A young lawyer was invited to de
liver an oration on the occasion of
the dedication of a new bridge. He
did not prepare himself, but had an
idea that he could speak at a mo
ment’s notice. He arose on the plat
form, and commenced as follows:
“Five and fort}' years ago this
bridge built by your enterprise was
part and parcel of the howling wil
derness.” He paused for a moment.
“Yes, fellow citizens, only five and
forty years ago. I repeat, this
bridge was part and parcel of the
howling wilderness.” Again, he
paused and there were cries of “Go
on! Go on!” He was plainly rat
tled ; however, he went on.
“I feel it hardly necessary to re
peat that this bridge five and forty
years ago was part and parcel of the
howling wilderness, and I will con
clude by saying that I wish it was a
part and parcel of a howling wilder
ness now.”
ORIGIN OF RAIN.
According to the researches of H.
Fritzsche, about three-quarters of the
rain which refreshes the continents
of the earth is due to the vapors ris
ing from the Boil instead of to those
coming from the oceans. Elaborate
estimates, based on all available
data, show that the annual rainfall
for the entire globe is equivalent to a
layer of water enveloping the earth
to a depth of about three feet. The
quantity of rain-water and melted
snow falling in a year is put at 111,
000 cubic miles. More than two
thirds of this falls upon the sea.
South America is the only one of the
continents on which the annual rain
fall exceeds that on the surface of
the sea.—Youth’s Companion.
A WISE FATHER.
He—I hope your father doesn’t mind
me smoking here?
She—No, dear; so long as you smoke
your own cigars.
CHANGE IN CLIMATE.
Europe is growing colder, says M.
Camille Flammarion, the French
astronomer. He declares that from
actual figures recently obtained he
has become certain that the tempera
ture of Europe has been falling.
France has been suffering for a long
time from an excess of cold weather,
the temperature at Paris having
been below the normal. Other read
ings show even less favorable re
sults. The fall is more noticeable in
the spring than at other periods of
the year. Similar conditions are re
corded in England, Belgium, Spain,
Italy, Austria and Germany.
THE EXPLANATION.
“No wonder graveyards are haunt
ed,” said the home grown philoso
pher.
“What’s the explanation?” que
ried the party of the other part.
“After a man has been kicked and
cuffed all his life, it’s only natural
that his ghost would enjoy a quiet
sitdown in the moonlight occasion
ally for the purpose of reading his
epitaph,” answered the philosophical
person.
OLD LADY’S ERROR.
“I tell you,” went on the old lady
at a hotel, getting quite angry, "I
won’t have this room. I ain’t going
to pay my money for a pigsty, and,
as far as sleeping in one of them
folding beds, I simply won’t do it I”
“Get on in, mum,” said he, with a
weary expression on his face. “This
ain’t your room; it’s the elevator.
KiCT NECESSARILY.
“Pop,” said the smart little boy,
“I suppose they can never have for
est fires like ours in England, can
they?”
“Why not, my son ?”
“Because they always have a reign
going on there.” ____(
