FOOD FOR FINGERS. Fashion Prohibits fte Ise ?f Forks For Certain Articles. There have always been certain articles of food for which the use of forks, etc., seetned superfluous, and for which fashion permitted the use of lingers, even in the most particular dining, says the Boston Herald. Occasionally new dishes are added to the list to which the old-time expression applies k ?"fingera wore made before forks"? ?rul it is generally understood that, in apite of the ever-multiplying variety of forks, tongs and spoons for use with every conceivable object ou the table, there are certain edibk* which it is far better to eut with the fingers. While a few independent people dare set aside the fashionable proprieties, many others will do ns they know they are expected. As a rule, sugar tongs are passed with block sugar, but. as a diner out once said. "I prefer to use nay fingers, for If you are not just so careful It drops with a splurge, which is very humiliating." Olives should be eaten with the fingers; any attempt to use a fork is foolish. When passed they should de dipped out with the spadelike spoon accompanying, then dropped on the bread and butter plate and carried to the mouth with the thumb and forefinger. n 1 ??.l olt kinds nt small nrrau, iimbi auu ?** ~ cakes should bo takon in the fingers, as well as cheese, though some very particular people use a fork with the latter. At the most fashionable luncheons high-bred dames may be seen taking the leg or small pieces of a bird in their fingers, though this is one of the disputed points. It will be noticed usually that those who have always been accustomed to good society are not so afraid to use their fingers as those who fcur to do something improper. Ben's Bright Idea.

TEACHERS TO MEET. J|_ y The State Summer School and the Dducational Convention. The teachers in the State will soon oegin to move. The National Educa* Al CatMP^UV tlonai Association vpcm> vu. umu.ui., , in Charleston. Most of the teachers will go down on Friday and Saturday, though many will probably not go till Monday. The summer school for teachers opens at Winthrop College the week after the N. E. A. so that the\eachers will be on a strain for about five weeks. This summer school bids fair to be even a greater success; than the one last year. The announcements and application blanks for admission have been sent all over the S%ate, the teachers are everywhere alive and applications are pouring in to State Superintendent McMahan and President Johnson by every mail. Speaking of the coining State School Prof. McGee of the office of the State Superintendent said: "The courses of study are stronger and more varied this year than they were last year and it seems that they will be of even more practical value to teachers than they were last. year. The general opinion among those who were at the school last year is that the success of last year can scarcely be improved on. There are some points, though, which are perhaps a little stronger. For ln ?! ? 1 stance, tne course in piavmai geography by Supt. E. L. Hughes will be something that the teachers actually need in their school room work and had no opportunity of taking last year. This is in addition to the course in physiography, which this year will be in charge of Prof. Lewis, of Clemson College. "Then there will be this year a course in practical physics by Prof. Hammel. Prof. Hammel has been one of the | strongest attractions at .the North Carolina summer school for several years. Supt. McMafian tried last year to get him but he could not come then, being already engaged in similar work. He shows the teachers how to make a large number of simple devices for illustrating physical principles. The course he gives in every particular is one adapted to the needs of the public school-. It is net advanced physics but : elementary physics as Ut? should be i taught In all our schools. ^There was nothing of this kind at the school last year. "Still another feature o^1 the school this year which does not'.appear to 1 ? 1. :.? tft.t --.1V.1 ,1'tll )\a.'4Via | 11 ClV t? UtTL U 1II lUD 1CX"> U OtUWi n i? vv^vw?, 1 course in nature study. Miss Thurfeton , is such an enthusiastic teacher of elementary science and has so many ways of interesting people in the things around them that there is little doubt she will arouse enthusiasm in this line. "Supt. McMahan seems to think that one of the chief drawing things about tna ?r>hr\nl Tv-ill hp the flrawin.gr. Prof. I ? -- 1 Pattison, the great Prof. Pattiscn from 1 Chicago Art Institute, who so delighted everybody that took his course, will be on hand again. He was such a success that Supt. McMahan last year engaged j him on the spot for the work again. And he is to have five assistants, Misses Virginia R. Brodie, Fannie L. Saunders, Emma Graham, Emma Lucas and Katie Manning. It is likely that there will be as many as 200 in the drawing class and those who take this course may just depend on working, too. "These are th" features of the school which indicate improvement." Palmetto Penciling?. Mr. Joseph Wiley, a wealthy and esteemed citizen of Chester, died last Monday at the age of 77 years.

He expects to have the little volume out in a few days, and that it will be consulted by those who contemplate getting out charters for towns having such charters amended.

While General Kitchener was engaged in suppressing the Proiska rebellion in Cupe Colony he ordered the lestruction of a certain farmhouse. Sot seeing any signs of bis orders bong carried ont he rode over with his itaff and found an interesting situa:ion. In the doorway of the doomed 'arm stood a pretty young Dutch girl, ler hands clasping the doorposts and hey eyes flashing fire from beneath aer dainty Riinbonnet. The Irish sergeant in charge of the party of destruction was vainly enjeavoring to persuade her to let them pass in, but to all bis blandishments of 'Arrali Darlint: Wislia now, acnsha," etc.. the maiden turned a deaf uir, and a deadlock prevailed. General kitchener's sharp "What's this?" put i climax to the scene. The girl evilently guessed that this was the lreaded chief of the staff, and her lips Tembled in spite of herself. General Kitchener gazed sourly at ler. standing bravely, though tear'ully. there, and turned to his military secretary. "Put down." he growled, i 'that the commander's orders with ' eference to the destruction of Right- I nan's farm could not bo carried out I swing to unexpected opposition.
