The western man, a whole souled, genial fellow, after telling his companion all about his western ranch and about the business which called him to Chicago, reached down in his grip and drew forth a bottle of generous proportions. “Pardner, ’’ said he, “there’s the best liquor west of Kansas City. Throw a hooker into yon and give me your opinion. ” The clerical looking man, though terribly shocked, managed to say, “Friend, I have not drunk for 40 years. ’ ’ The Texan jumped from his seat and exclaimed: “Grqat guns!

— Long; Sentences. Ex-Senator Evarts was given, in the preparation of his speeches and opinions, to exceedingly long and involved though perfectly lucid sentences. This gave rise to more or less jocular criticism on the pint of the press. Some one mentioned it to Evarts one day. His eye twinkled as he said : “ Yes, I know there are two classes of people who tire very much opposed to long sentences'; one is telegraph operators, and the other is criminals. ” And Then He Went Home. “Mr. Stalate,” she murmured, “do you remember when, in 1894, we sat up to watch the new year in?” “Yes,” he replied rapturously. "Well—don’t yob—don't you”— “Don’t I what?’’ “Don’t you think we are beginning rather early this year?”—Washington Star.

EATING AND EATERS. I IT IS NOT GOOD FORM TO DO MORE THAN TASTE AND SIP. If Invited to ■ Smart Dinner, Dine Before You Go —How Dinner, and Banquete of FabuloiiK Co.t Are Got l’p and Served by Caterer*. An American author and musician told a queer little story the other day that ran like this: “Went to the opera: sat in a box with two ladies and three men; social leaders; very swell; felt ont of place; heard nothing but talk and chatter; missed all the singing and music; after the opera, supper at the Waldorf; expected that, of course; went prepared—very hungry; all the dainties of the season on the table, but uobrxly ate; wine in abundance, all drinking; more talk and gossip; wouldn’t eat alone, so starved; not jxdite to eat nowadays, I’m told; proper to mince along, taste a morsel and talk; don’t like it; no more fashionable suppers.for me!’’ Another man, an habitual diner out, remarked: “I invariably eat my dinner at home before going out todine. Nobody thinks of eating at a public dinner nowadays. It is the height of ill breeding! At private dinners with ladies lie who eats is voted a bore. He must sip and taste and talk ; that's all that is expected of him. If I didn’t eat at home I'd starve to death. ’’ Perhaps something in recent years has altered the belief that, the nearest way to a man's heart is down his throat. Hosts used to feed their guests to put them in good humor,'“to make their visits agreeable. Everybody at tire table ate' and drank and all went merrily. K Better dinners than thofce provided today the world never .saw, but they are not eaten. New York dinners are superior in many respects to those of any other city in the world. The people have money and are willing to pay for the best the market affords, and there is no doubt that the New York market is unsurpassed. There are more refinements, too, at an American entertainment than elsewhere, more variety. Still it is well 1 to dine at your own table before going to the house of a fashionable friend. At the latter you are expected to entertain, not to partake of what is set before you. Leave that to the servants or to the caterer. Rich folk used to have their own servants prepare the dinner when guests were expected, but nowadhys .everything is left to the caterer. It is so much less trouble, you know. Why worry for days arranging a dinner for a dozen or two of one's friends when it can be better done by the caterer? We have, plenty of caterers. Some have grown rich and proud on the feasts and banquets given by the fashionable set. When a millionaire wants to give a dinner he sends for his favorite, tells him the number of guests expected, advances a few ideas on the general style' of the entertainment, names the day and hour, aufl says, “I leave everything to you. ” The menu is submitted, and, if satisfactory, both as To price and dishes, the preparation goes on. The entire dinner is prepared at the establishment of the caterer, after which, on the day appointed, it is carefully packed in hampers and boxes and conveyed to the house where it is to be eaten. Most private houses are fitted with excellent ranges, and on them the caterer’s chefs do the cooking. Positively nothing is left to the home cook. The caterer takes entire charge of the kitchen. He could not be responsible for the dinner otherwise. Tfie dining room also is turned over to him, for the dinner itself is scarcely more important than the arrangement of the table or tables. Certain unwritten rules are followed in this respect. When there are less than 20 persons they are usually seated at one large table, rectangular or round; but when that number is exceeded it is the custom to use small tables, as they can be better served. Six persons to a table is the rule. The expansion of society in New York in the last 12 years has been very great, and the size of the private dinner has increased enormously. It used to. be considered a big thing to have 10 or 12 guests, but now it is"coinmoil enough to have from 20 to 80. Where receptions a few .years ago numbered from 300 to 400 guests, they now number from 600 to 1,000. The cost of a dinner depends on the winesand flowers. An excellent dhjtier can be served for, say. 20 persons at $lO a plate, the flowers Will cost about sls and the wines from $4 to sls a head. At Mrs.-Astor’s famous ball, in the winter of 1880-90, the finest entertainment she ever gave, the winos on the supper table were very select. Her Steinberger Cabinet cost sls a bottle. The dinner to Charles O'Conor was one of the finest ever given in this city. It was managed by Sam Ward and cost over SSO a plate. ® The menus alone cost $6 apiece. The decorations were most elaborate, the tables being literally covered with rare flowers. The wines were the costliest that could be had. Some of Sain Ward’s priceless Madeira was handed around. The guests numbered 50. The dinner to President Andrew Johnson on the occasion of his visit to Now York, in 1866, cost SIOO a-plate. Leland Stanford’s dinner to Mrs. Grant, about five years ago, caused a great, deal of talk all over the country. It was believed that the 18 guests ate from plates of gold and silver; that the tablecloth was edged with point duchess lace; thqt under each wineglass there was a napkin of the same costly fabric, and under each linger bowl a Japanese mat that cost SSO, and that the terrapin Were served in individual silver tureens —New York Press. Frederick the Great, had a sharp, Imtchet face, with a cold, blue eye, that,-as one of his contemporaries said, “gleamed like a refleetidn of light front a bayonet. ’’’„ In 1564 a pair of shoes made in England cost 20 cents.. —

ORIGIN OF THE BANJO. A Vrlr.iitive Instrument In 1840, IVitli In Own Peculiar Airs. The banjo was in usq long before tho day of Joe Sv eeney. It was principally played by the tie ,T<>es. and was indeed a rude and simple instrument. The first one I ever saw Was made in this way: A large gourd covered With a raw sheep. skin served for the drum, and the strings were of horsehair, pulled from a whitn horse’s tail. It had only four strings. I am confident that Sweeney added the bass string. My father's carriage driver was a Itanjo player. He played two or three changeless tunes on one cord. I saw Joe Sweeney for the first time about 1842, while I was at school at Prince Edward Court House. He arid his brother Sam were together. Joe led on the violin and Sam played the banjo. Both had good voices, especially Sam. a rich, full baritone of great sweetness and power. Even at this distant day I can recall some of. the tunes they sang—“Old Dan Tucker,” “Do Johnnie Booker,” “Julianna Johnson,” “Oh, Susanna,” “The Blue Tailed Fly,” “Jim Crack Corn,” and “I Don't Care..” When I saw the brothers again, the character of the music was somewhat changed, and was much more sentimental and sympathetic. They rendered speh pieces as “Dearest May,” “Rosa L<-f,“ “Annie of the Vale. M “Nellie Was a Lady” and “Ellen Bayne,” with gonderf’til effect. These airs were melixlinuS and concordant, and often brought tears to the eyes of the audience. Joe Sweeney Wits'-above the medium size, and of fine pro’iortions. He had light hair and a ruddy complexion. He had wonderful facial powers. Ho could change his ex- , pression in a moment from grave to , comjc. Sweeney as ji negro delineator was inimitable. He knew the negro well, and was perfectly’ natural, and, like Polk Miller, 'never’.overdid his work. One of his performances always excited applause. Hi-s old Virginia breakdown, a jig tune, he danced, and made his own music with his banjo hung around his neck with a string. Sweeney was entirely uneducated, but he was naturally bright, and be often made smart local hits that brought down the house. Sweeney gave notoriety to the banjo and brought it into popular favor. His habits were improvident, and he was the subject of many temptations. He liyed a life of unselfish generosity and died in pdverty. Ht spent his last days in the county of Appomattox. I have heard this story about him. I do not vouch for its truth: Before he died, his mind wandering, he said to his sister : “Come here. The old banjo is out of tune, the screws are slipping, and the bridge is about tofall. ” These were the last words of rhe old fellow, who had charmed two continents with his melody and song. His brother Sam was in the-vavahy service during the war. He nften played for General Stuart,’ and the brave troopers would dance to his merry music as he Sang: ' “If you waut a happy time, jine the cavalry. ” I never heard of him after the war. — Richmond Dispatch.
