The table is the place where tn, family
meet, and there should be the frepsst and
most unrestra'ned intercourse. We eat to

up and glorifed when the charms OF pleas-
ant conversation and of mutual courtesy sur
rounded the custom. So far as the sustain
ing of life is concerned, that object may be
reached If each took his bread and retired to
a closet to eati alone. But there is 4 spirit
ual life that is to be fed and sustained, and
it is starved where there is no grace, not only
before, but during meal.
The great trouble with our American life
is that it is too gloomy. We take no time
toentertain and amuse each other. Not seldom
does it happen in some houses that meal
progresses in dead silence, except when neces-
sary to speak about the dishes, or to help
some one to potatoes or pie. This is almost
as bad as rudeness orquarreling There ought
to be bright, sparkling talk in which tie chill
drcn should be allowed allowed 10 ioin. There
Is no sense, whatever, in compelling an intel
ligeat child to sit like a deaf mute at the
table; though, on the other hand, children
should not monopolize the conversation. nor
he allowed to ask strings of irrelevant oues-
tions. Each one should prepare for it by
some simple process of dressing The hair
should be smooth, the hands washed the gen
eral appearance of each should try to be as
agreeable as possible to each other. 1t is quite
wonderful how little freshcns up the soul
~ well rs the face. So far we all ought to
be luxurious. If the mother sees to if. that
her school-boy sons always come to dinner
with clean hands aud nails, and that her
daughters never dwindle into tawdry finery or
soiled wrappers, she will do more thau she
dreams OF in the work of making them
grow into real gentlemen and ladies.
The table itselfought to have a festive look
Flowers have special grace on the breakfast
board. a dish of fruit nicely arranged
pleases the eye rs well as the palate at din
ner. Clean linen, even though course, and
whole plates and cups, with bright glass
and silver, help the appetite along. A few
well cooked dishes, nicely served, will pro.
mote health and happiness betterthan great
variety ruined in the preparation.
Some housekeepers, with an eye to saving
trouble on washing day, have adopted the
marble oil cloth, instead of the white damask
for ordinary use. For our part we would
prefer. economy in almost any other way, A
fine white table cloth, or buff or crimson
one occasionally for breakfast or tea, will
furnish the family feast much more beauti-
fully.

TwINs.-AIax Adeler tells new story the
gist of which is as follows Bill Slocum was
nominated for mayor of Pencader and one
day, in street conversation, he remarked
"Pve got to win" He pronounced it, "Pve
got twin" and old Mrs. Martin, overhear-
ing it imperfectly went around and reported
that Mrs. Slocum had twins. The boys at
once decided to serenade Bill, and that night
they marched out to his house, with a band
playing "Hail to the Chief" several ward
clubs, some fire companies, group of white
dressed girls in wagon, a lot of banners,
and plenty of enthusiasm. Bill made n
speech about the canvass, and then there
were shouts of where's the twins p "hold
'em up to the Window and the like. Bill
said there was mistake, but the band sar-
castically played "Listen to the Mocking
Bird," and the boys shouted louder for the
twins. When the truth prevailed; the as
sembly dispersed in disgust, and Bill was
overwhelmingly defeated at the polls

Eating Fruit.

We hardly know how to account for tho
popular impression that still prevails in
many rural districts; that the free use of
fruit is unfriendly to health 1t has much
to do with the scarcity of fruit gardens and
orchards in the country. As matter of
tact, the cities and villages are much better
supplied with fruit the year round. than
the surrounding country. There are hun
dreds OF farms, even in the Oldest parts nj
the land, where there is no orchard. and tho
only fruit is gathered from a few seedlinp
apple trees grown in the fence corners The
wants of cities are supplied not so much
from the proper farming districts as fror, =
lew men In their suburbs, who make busi-
ness of growing fruit for market, Tho f,rm-
ers who raise good variety bf small fruits
for the supply of their own families ara st;,l
the exceptions. The vil'.ager, with his quart
er or half-acre lot, rill have his patch Of
strawberries, his row of currants and rasp.
berries, his grar e vines and pear trees and
c .aih in'e,,lge' .tly of the varieties of these

'uH.'rie' for at least half of the year.
i'' there is a lamenta BILE dearth of goot

" 3tion that it pays 1t does pay in personal
comfort and health, if in nothing else The
medical faculty will bear testimony to the
good influence of ripe fruit upon the animal
economy. They regulate the system better
than anything else, and forestall many Of
the diseases to which we are liable in the
summer and fall. A quaint old gentleman
OF our acquaintance often remarks that an.
pies are the only pills he takes. He takes
these every day in the year, when they can
be found in the market, and fill up the new
srop with other fruits. He has hardly seen
sick day in forty years, and pays no doctors
bill. We want more good fruit, especially
upon our farms, and the habit of eating fruit
| at our meals.
This is just one of the matters in which
farmers wives can exert an influence. MANY

FARMERS AND RHEUMATIsM-Wh are
farmers so liable to rheumatism? Answer
Because they wear wet clothing, heat and
suddenly chill the body, overhead after very
hard work, and because they do not keep the
skin in vigorous, clean and healthy condi-
ton. If farmers would avoid suddenly cool
ing the body after great exertion, if they
would be careful not to 90 with wet clothing
and wet feet, and if they would not overhead
when in an exhausted condition, and bathe
daily, using much friction, they would have
less rheumatism. The same rule applies to
Others than farmers. The Turkish bath is
the best remedy for rheumatism.-Scieace Of
Health.

The term grass widow" is said to be a
corruption of "grace widow" "Grace wild
ow" is the term applied to one who becomes
a widow by grace or favor, and not by the
death of her husband, and originated in the
early days of European civilization, when
divorces were granted but seldom, and who'll
ly by the Catholic Church. When such u
decree is granted to woman, the Papal re-
script stated "Viduca de gratia," which, in-
terpreted, is "widow of grace" In the law
Of the French it would read "Veuye de
grace, " or "grace widow" veuve translated
as widow"
