Ia BILE Etiquette.

See that those about you are
helped before you commence eating
yourself.
Do not eat soup from the tip, but
the side Of the spoon.
On passing your plate to be
replenished, retain the knife and
fork.
Wipe the mouth before drinking.
Remove the teaspoon from the
cup before drinking tea or coffee.
Use the knife only in cutting the
food; do not raise it to the mouth.
Eat slowly, as eating rapidly is
unhealthy.
If you find anything unpleasant
in your food avoid calling the atten-
tion of others to it.
Close the lips when chewing your
food.
Keep your elbows eff the table
always.
Do not speak with food in your
mouth.
When asked to help your neigh>
Dor do not shove, but hand the

Do not turn you head and stare
about the room.
If any one at the table makes a

she not raise those proud, yet low
ing gray eyes, and meet it !?
Her breast heaved convulsively
ouce Or twice. She put her white
hand suddenly up to her throat,
as if something had stopped her
breath. Her hand met the golden
chain.
The next moment that chain was
torn from her neck, revealing a
beautifully executed miniature, set
closely in border of forget-me- nots.

Of precious gems. His quick eye

He stopped for the treasures at

held out to him trembled like a

Letters Without Words.

When NJ. de Persigny was
French minister Of the Interior, ne
received visit one day from a
friend, who, on sending up his name,
was shown in the great mans sanc~
tum. A warm discussion arose
between them. Suddenly an usher
entered snd handed the minister a
note. On opening it, he at once
changed his tone Of voice, and
assumed a quite and urbane manner
Puzzled as to the contents Of the
note, and by the marked effect it
had suddenly produced upon the
minister, his friend cast furti7e
glance at it, when to his astonish~
ment, he perceived that it was SIM
ply plain sheet of paper, without
a scratch upon it More puzzled
than ever, the gentleman, after a
few minutes, took his leave and
proceeded to interrogate the usher,
to whom he was well known
for he himself had been min
lister Of the interior. You
have" said he, "just handed to the
minister a note, folded up, which
had most extraordinary effect
upon him. Now, it was plain
sheet of paper, with nothing written
upon it. What did it mean p
" Sir" replied the usher, " here is
the explanation, which [ must beg
you to keep secret, for l do not
wish to compromise myself. Ny
master is very warm, and very lia>
BILE to lose his temper, AS he
himself is aware of his weakness, he
has ordered me, each time that his
voice is raised sufficiently to be
audible in the anti-room, without
delay to place a sheet of paper in
an envelop and take it to him.
That reminds him that his temper
is getting the better of him, and he
at once calms himself. Just now
I heard his voice ringing, and i'm
mediately carried out ray instruc>

" Our WEIGHTS.

Under this head the London Ned.
zeal Record says: Upon Ihe av>
erage, boys at birth weight a little
more and girls little less than six
and half pounds. For the first
nine years the two sexes continue
nearly equal in weight, but beyond
that time males acquire q decided
preponderance. Thus, young men
of twenty average 120 pounds
Men reach their heaviest bulk at
about thirty five, when they average
about 152 pounds, but women slow
ly increase in weight until fifty
when their average is about 128
pounds. Taking men and women
together, their weight at full growth
averages about twenty times as
heavy as they were on the first day
of their existence. Men range from
108 to 220 pounds, and women from
50 pounds to 2O7. The actual
weight of human nature, taking the
average Of ages and conditions, no.
bles, clergy, thinkers, tallors, maids
ems, boys, girls and babies, all in
cluded, is very nearly 1Q0 pounds.
These figures are given IL ayoirdu-
pois weight, but the advocates Of
the superiority Of women might
make nice point by introducing
the rule that women be weighed by
Troy weight like other jewels, and
men by ayoirdupois. The figures
will then stand-young men Of
twenty, 143 pounds each; young
women of twenty, about 40 pounds
each, and so on.
