TABLE MANNERS.

The table is the place at which the
family meet, and where there should be
the freest and most unrestrained social
intercourse We eat to live; but the
mere animal necessity is lifted up and
glorifed when the charms of pleasant
conversation and of mutual courtesy sur
round the custom. So far as the
sustaining of life is concerned, that
object might be reached If each took
his bread and meat and retired to
closet to eat it alone. But there
is a spiritual life that is to be fed and
sustained, and it is starvation when there
is no grace, not only before but during a
meal.
The great trouble with our American
life is that it is too gloomy. We take
no time to entertain and amuse each
other. Not seldom does it happen in
some houses that a meal progresses in
dead silence, except when it is necessa-
~ to speak about dishes, Or to help
some one to potatoes or pie. This is
almost as bad as rudeness or quarreling.
There ought to be bright, genial, sparkI-
ing talk, in which the children should be
allowed to join. There is no sense what
ever in compelling an Intelligent child
to sit like deaf mute at the table;
though, on the other hand, children
should not monopolize the conversation,
nor be allowed to ask strings of irrele-
want questions. Every one should pre-
pare for the table by some simple pro-
cess of dressing. The hair should be
smooth, the hands washed, the general ap-
pearance of individuals inviting, and each
should try to be as agreeable as possible
to each other. It is quite wonderful how
a little freshening of the toilet freshens
UP the soul as well as the face. So far
we ought all to be luxurious, If the
mother sees to it that her school boy
sons always come to dinner with clean
hands and nails, and that her daughters
never dawdle into the room in tawdry
hnery or soiled wrappers, she will do
more than she dreams of in the work of
making them grow into real gentlemen
and ladies'.
The table itself ought to havea festive
look. Flowers have special grace on
the breakfast board. A dish of fruit
nicely arranged pleases the eye as well
as the palate at dinner. Clean linen,
even though course, and whole plates
and cups, with bright glass and silver,
help the appetite along. A few well
cooked dishes, however plain, nicely
served, will promote health and happi--
ness better than great variety ruined
in the preparation. Some housekeepers
with an eye to saving trouble on wash
ing 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 a buff OF
crimson one occasionally for breakfast or
tea, will furnish forth the family feast
much more neutrality-suspicious. at
Work.

The PURITY OF IcE.-In addition to
the fact that iceislighter than water, there
is another curious thing about it, which
many persons do not, perhaps, know
namely, its purity. A lump of ice,
melted, will become distilled water.
Water, in freezing, turns out of it all
that is not water salt, air, coloring
matter, and all impurities. Frozen sea
water makes fresh water ice. If you
freeze basin of indigo water, it will
make ice as clear and as white as that
made of pure rain-water. When the
cold is very sudden, these foreign mat
tiers have no time to escape, either by
raising or sinking, and are thus entangl-
ed with the ice, but do not make any
part of it.

PERPETUAL MOTION.

A southern negro has invented
wonderful machine. He has solved the
problem of perpetual motion. The ma
chine consists of three wheels, a seat,
and balance-weight. When the weight
is tipped forward, the centre of gravity
is thrown in front of the centre of mo-
ton, and the machine has to chase it
SELF A sad accident attended it's first
public trial. There was to be fair at
Franklin, KY, near which town the
colored inventor lived. He decided to
exhibit his handiwork. One week be-
fore the opening, he mounted the seat,
pushed forward the weight, and started
off at Is miles an hour. He meant to
visit the Secretary of the Fair Associa-
ton and have his marvel duly entered
on the books. AS he sped out of his
native village, the Coroner hired fast
horse and galloped after him. All the
on Coroner's jury were an object fol-
lowed. Their hopes proved to be well
founded. At turn in the road, the
driving wheel of the machine struck a
log. The rebound sent the aged Ethio-
plan flying toward toward the stars.
When he came down, half mile furth-
er on, the malicious machine had caught
up with him. He Lit on the rapidly-re-
volving wheel and spun off again into
space. Three separate times was this
repeated. The Coroner spurred his
horse on madly. He saw the whole
performance and he realized that the
victim was nearing the neighboring
county. His hopes of fees were fading
when he saw the antique African rise
grandly into air for the fourth time,
whirl a moment, and then come tum-
bling to the ground. A resident by the
road had mistake him, as he few through
the air, for new species of turkey-bu
card and had fired fatal shot. The re-
sident, becoming aware of the mistake,
fled.
The machine, having slain its master,
dashed forward at a terrible rate of
speed. When last seen it was headed
due west, and was gaining in velocity
every moment. Attempts, to telegraph
warning of its coming proved to be in
vain, for it distanced the tightening.
Unless the Mississippi or the Rocky
Mountains stopped it, it has doubtless
ere now plunged into the Pacific.

tually accepted, I must see about we'd
ding present.
''She actually has," said VIII, 'sand
the money saved for piano is to go for
troussedu.
els that a hint for me to buy
piano % laughed Uncle Josh. 'sWen,
I Will"
But when the wedding-day was fixed,
and VIII consulted Uncle Josh about a
house, he was informed that Mrs.
Stanton's wedding present from her
new uncle would be neat brown stone
house fully furnished, including the
piano, with one room reserved for Uncle
Josh.
There are children's voices now in the
handsome house, and Uncle Josh has
stood godfather to sturdy namesake.
The sun of prosperity shines upon VIII,
but he says his business success, his
happy home, his freedom from worldly
perplexities, have all depended upon the
good sense of his wife, who, in all ex-
pendltures, all charities, first considers
whether or not she can afford the out
lay, and while she is liberal and large
hearted, is never ashamed to exercise
economy. if necessary, Or to decline an
extravaganza.

The HIGHEST LAKE IN THE U. s.
DIR. Hardness has discovered, in Plumas
county, California, body of water,
probably the most elevated in the Unit
ed States, the barometer registering a
height of 1880 feet above the sea level.
The lake is of triangular shape, having
its longest diameter about one mile and
three quarters in length. The water
during last August was intensely cold
and of deep blue color. The outlet Is
into Warren Valley, over declivity OF
some 1000 feet. The California Acade-
nv of Science has named the lake, after
its discoverer, Lake Hardness.
