Table Manners.

We all have our various views as to
what it is that constitutes fit and becOm-
ing behavior at The table. Perhaps none
have quite the whole body of the law at
their command; but everybody has lit
tie manual of the chief points, and in
that life where there is any material at
tention paid to comfort, the greater part
of the people know enough to cause them
to eat with their forks, to keep their arms
off the cloth, not to lie sidcwise on the
table, to use their spoon right side up, to
butter their bread on the plate instead of
in the air, to put their food into their
mouths in single morsel instead of in a
disappearing length like conjurer's rib
bon, to forbear the use of tooth. picks, to
drink their tea from their cups, to keep
the plate the hostess sends them-these
and other similar small observances every
body knows and practices. Yet further
refincments, moreover, are in the posses
sion of others; the knowledge of how
much or how little it is proper to press
dish; the manner of speaking to scrv-
ant; the necessity, where there are scrv-
ants, of letting every dish absolutely
alone, and keeping ones fingers
off of SO much as salt-cellar.
But there are other points of behavior
at table quite as valuable as these
mere points of etiquette; for etiquette is,
after all, but the result of a convention of
opinions. of course cleanliness and the
common decencies of life one might sup
pose would be preserved by any short of
| savages; nor would we much expect to
see at any semi-civilized table ANYTHING
like greedy overseeing; these are mat
tiers of self respect. But there arc many

themselves, are indicative of character,

heard people who thought we'll of them
selves, at table where, owing to unfOr-
tunatc circumstances, it was impossible
to have other than plated silver, enter in
to conversation upon plated ware, and
the vulgarity of its use; and we rcmem-
Der having heard a person, at a ncighbOr's
tea table, where china was entirely in the
vOcativc, declare, as she slipped her tea
from cup of stone ware, that it made no
difference to her what kind of tea she
drank, so long az she drank it from china
Of course that may be forgetfulness, and
is just as likely to happen in the parlor
aprOp6s of the horse hair furniture; but
| it is certainly want Of tact, and want of
tact is about as sure as any agency to
bring about 4 further breach Of good
manners.
Another form of just this want of tact
| is to be seen In the acceptance or declina-
ton of certain dishes. :. / am. extraya-

and again, something much more than a
proper share. Or else the very opposite
course is maintained, to the ruin of any
simple or frugal table. 1" Thank you, /

hence, If u portion of the farm Is of this
description and can be used for meadows,
1t need not be considered so very objec-
tionable in case the pastures are of diff
ferent character.
Good water In abundance is another e.
scntial requirement of a dairy farm. II
should be unfailing and we'll distributed
over the pastures, so as 10 be of easy nc.
cess to cattle. Springs and streams of
sweet, clear water are, of course, the best,
though we have seen good dairy farms
where the water supply was obtained
from wells. In this Case windmills were
erected to pump the water from wells that
were unfailing, and by arranging the watts
or reservoirs SO that the overflow could
be conducted back again to the we'll, a
constant supply of good, fresh water was
kept within reach of stock.
Windmills are now built so as to be very
efficient in their operation, requiring but
little attention. Still, it will lie seen that
all such artificial means of procuring
water are much inferior to a living spring
or stream, to say nothing of the extra ex-
pcrfse entailed to keep tlp the needed
supply. The necessity for good supply
of clean, sweet water is imperative for the
ouSNSNAuA Ai0u0SCInCuV Va uully SUOCh,
and no matter how good the farm may be
for grass. or however eligibly located, if
it fails in sufficient water supply it will
lack ono of the most essential require
ments of a good dairy farm, and one that
will be sure to be fatal to successful
prosecution of dairying.
Water is sometimes SD located ON farms
that good supply is furnished in pas
lures remote from the stables while little
or none can he had at the latter place for
stock. This will he a serious inconve-
nience even in summer, but in winter it
will prove an insuperablc objection, be.
cause cows that are obliged to travel long
distances in the fierce blasts of winter,
wading through deep SHOWS, exposed to
the intense cold of our Northern climate
cannot be expected to be carried through
the season without heavy loss. In choos-
ing dairy farm then, look we'll to the
winter as we'll as the summer supply of
water. Another essential requisite in a
good dairy farm Is that the farm be not so
situated that the cattle are obliged to
travel long distances from the pasture to
the milking stables. All excessive travel
is a waste on the tissues which will be
made up at the expense of milk secretion
and hence such dairy farms are objec-
tionable. -Rural Neao Yorker.

Regular Secretion Essential to Health.


The regular secretion and flow of the gas
trio juices, and of the bile which the use Of
IIostcttcr's Stomach Bittcrs promotes, are
effects which conduce materially to the res
toration Of health, when the system is dis
ordered. Food is not digested in the dys-
peptic stomach because the gastric fluid is
deficient, superintendent or vitiated; the
liver becomes congested and the bowels con-
stipated because the supply Of bile is mad
cquate or misdirected. The Bitters rectifes
ali this, and removes every i'll consequence
Of REPRESENTATION and bilious irrcgularity.
Furthermore, it stimulates the action Of the

it he used as means ofregulating gastric or
bilious secretion, and relieving the over.
loaded bowels, or to promote complete, and
therefore hcalthful, urination, Hostctter's
Bitters may be relied npon with confidence
to accomplish the end in view.

be very convenient and "that" very diff

cause one is &c not fond of it, of course
prevents any free use Of that dish, unless
something else is especially prepared for

toned, or to state Involvement prefer
etces, IL something that cannot help max
ing several other people ut the table un-
comfortable. Truly good manners would
always take the undesircd portion Upon
the plate, if only to triflc with it, so as
not to hurt the feelings of those providing
it; and if the providing party were
equally good hammered, it would be OBJ
served that tho article was unpalatablc,
and something else would BIC substituted,
or the dish would fail to be repeated.
For, OH the other hand, the good manners
on that side are just as carefully to be re-
gardcd; and if, after the dislike has been
noticed, the same object is again pre-
sentcd on other days, if a seasoning con-
tinuc 10 nc used, or a flavOring that is not
agreeable, then the canOns are violated
quite rs badly by the hosts. Yet if, after
stating dislike and preference, a person
not otherwise starved to it is seen to take
his portion and send back his plate for a
second one, it would seem as if the dis
like were too slight to justify its state
ment at all, and the person stating it were
utterly inexcusable, and should have no
notice taken of his objection.
But perhaps the greatest indccorum of
all is voluntary instruction administered
as to the becoming conduct of host or
hostess by any one sitting at their table,
with "Why do you do this?" or Why
don't you do that? ?" or, again, II have
been in the habit of seeing this at such
and such distinguished place." imply
ing a superiority on the questioner's side,
and an ignorance on the other side th:t,
if one had any respect for the qucstioner,
might become unbearable. Of course,
among families where one individual
may have happened to receive greater adj
vantagcs and opportunities of seeing than
the others, this may be not only all very
we'll, but very acceptable and desirable !;
but, as a usual thing, people like to do as
they choose at their own tables, and after
some experience of the sort will be toler-
ably sure to allow others the same priv
ilcge. 1t is, after all, ut the table, as
everywhere else, that the Golden Rule
obcyed to- the letter is the only safe
standard of behavior; for there neither
servant nor host wants any of your inter-
ference in his duties, and the rest re-
mains with yoursclf.-Hlrper's Bazar.
