Talking at Table.

Talking ut table is one of the very best
digcsters there is no tonic known to equal
it, If it is of the kind calculated to promote
hiarity and good feeling generally Most
parents are prone to prohibit their children
from laughing and talking at the table; it
Is unphysiological 1t is a cruelty. Joy
BUSINESS promotes the circulation of the
blood, enlivens 1t, invigorates it, sends it
tingling to the remotcst part of the system,
carrying with 1t animation, vigor and life.
The louder the little ones laugh the better;
the faster they talk the better, for then they
cat less in given time, consequently chew
their food more thoroughly. Discard con-
troversy from the dining table, Discourage
all subjects which invite political or re-
ligious rancor. Let every topic introduced
be calculated to instruct, to interest, or
amuse. DO not let the mind run on bust
ness or previous misliaps or past disappoint-
ment. Never tell bad news at the table,
nor for an hour before. Let everything
you have to communicate be, if possible, of
II gladstone, joyous, hilarious character,
calculated to bring out pleasantcr remarks
| or agreeable associations On the other
! hand, never administer a rcproof at the
| social board to either servant or child; find
fault with nothing; speak unkindy to no
one. If remarks are made of the absent,
let them contain some words of commcnda-
| tion, which, if repeated in their hearing
afterward will kndle kindly feelings, and
thus will thoughts Of the family table come
across the memory III after years, when we
have been scattered and some laid In their
last resting place, bringing with them II
sweetness of emotion which makes 1t a
pleasure to dwell upon them.

Playing Detective.

Old s. lived in the city OF D.
the proprietor Of a wcll-known tavern.
He was uon Dcutscher. Seldom was he
beaten by deadhead, and he made his
brags accordingly-that few men ever
got square meal at his place for moth
ing. One day, however, a gentleman,
whom we will call D., made a bet
that he would dine upon Il certain day
ut SIS expense, 70 being the sum az
stake. Mr.. D. went to the tavern
at the appointed time, and, in very
excited manner, informed mine host
that he was detective officer IN quest
of an individual who had stolen sic, 900
from Il bank. lie had received infor-
nation that the thief would dine there
that day, Mr.. D said he would
step in at dInner-time, and, if the indi-
vidual was there, would scat himself
at the table. but he preferred not to ar
rest him in the house. His plan was
to let him eat, then follow him out and
make the arrest. The sO-called detec-
tive sat down to n sumptuous meal, ey-
Ing astranger who sat at his right hand.
Tho unsuspicious stranger finished his
meal and took his departure, followed
by e. and the landlord. D told
mine host to call the man, and lie
would go and get the help of brother
officer down the street. Deutscher
hailed the stranger, who suddenly
stopped. 81 was just about to return
and pay my bill. How much do l owe
you?" "Forty cents,'' said S..
''IIere is yourmoney, sir, and my ad-
Vice to you is, never follow me again,
you old Sour Krant!" ."You scoun-
drel !" said the landlord. 81 will have
you under arrest!" And the two men
almost came to blows. D., who was
some distance of, looking on the scene,
was convulsed with laughter. The boi-
sterous mirth Of D. reached the
landlords ears, and Immediately, like
a flash, he smelt mouse. Turning on
his heel, he started for home, with the
cnrses of the stranger ringing in his
cars. For once he owned he was sold. .

He Wanted Her Insured.

A good -naturcd looking young man of 25
accompanied by modest-appea young
woman of about the same age, evidently
his wife, and just made SO, receAtly called
upon Griswald street insurance agent to
see about insuring her life. After some pre-
lminary conversation the agent inquired
what sum they had In mind ~
II want her insured for at least million
dollarsl" promptly replied the husband, as
he reached over and patted her on the
head.
The agent figured up the premium and
stated the amount. THE wife turned pale
as death, and the husband lost pound of
1lesn a mlnute.iI5srJ4 6Eig aauneZd
'But take a smaller sum, say five or ten
thousand dollars" suggested the agent.
. "Not cent less'n d millionl" exclaimed
the husband. ''If she amt wortli that, SHE
amt worth nothing, and as l can't chalk up
for million well co., s.g,,,a
And go they did, stopping neither for ar
guflent nor good wishea. z,T6ftss"

More Natural History.
WNYhat animal is this2N

'What animal is this2"
''rhis is baby. lie is now about three
years old, and at the wickedcst point of his
earthly career"
"What countries does the baby most in
habit :"
'IIc can be found in every inhabited
country on the globe, the same rs nosqui-
toes and boils"
'Can they be tamed2"
eyes, quite easily. After little Judi
cious discipline they cease to struggle, and
become subservient to the will Of man"
"Does the baby cat grass2"
eyes, or anything else. They swallow
pocket-knivcs, thimbles, buttons, spools or
| any other object a little smaller than tea
cup. If offered milk they seldom refuse
"Do they Craze through the day, Or only
at night9"
''rhey are always grazing, paying not
the least heed to the hour. When not ac-
tually eating they generally give uttcrance
to peculiar cry. Strong men often jump
out of bed at midnight in the coldcst wea-
thcl upon hearing this cry"
"What meaning is attached to this cry?"
'Mcn of the deepest thought have agreed
that it signifies to wake up the ncighborhood
and have some fun"
''Of what benefit to mankind is domes-
ticatcd baby?"
"rhey arc of no earthly account for the
first few years, but by and by they can slide
down hill on cellar door and carry articles
out of the house and trade them for wood
en- sword or lose them in the grass"
''Do you know of any instances where
the baby has attacked the household and
killed or injured any one?'
"Such instances are related by such cmi-
nent natnralists as George Francis Train
and Texas Jack, but we don't put very
much faith in them. However, if the baby
was maliciously provoked there is no know
ing what he might do"
care they healthy animal2"
sNo. On the contrary, no druggist could
make enough profit in year to buy him Il
pair of Arctic overshoes but for the presence
OF baby in every household. There is
hardly an hour in the day that the baby
does not demand peppermint, paregoric,
ipccac, or something else costing money"
"What machinery is made use of to COM
pei the baby to take a dose of castor oil 2"
"rhcrc are several patent machines for
the purpose, hut most people follow the old
rule of knocking him scnsclcss and getting
the dose into his mouth before he rccOvers. "
''Is the bald headed baby more domestic
than tile othcrs2"
''Not Il bit. He kicks around after the
same fashion, and has even worse time
fighting flies and mosquitoes"
"What music do they seem to prefer9"
ga base drum is their first choice; but
they have hearty leaning toward the sound
of the stove handle knocking the nose off of
the pitcher with the emptyings in it. This
is all about the baby.

'pothecary's wife, and poor as jobs tur-
key, if they is stick up"
Of course the ColtOn's never called my
husband in. Of course also they instigatcti
such of their relatives,i as had already en-
ploycd the doctor, to Send for his profes-
fional rival, when the next case of sick
ness occurred But though this effected
our income for time, it did not ruin us :;
and when the year was up, for which we
had leased our house, we moved to the other
side of the village, and ceased "being
neighborly," in any sense, to the Coltons.
"Thc 'pothecary," as she had called the
doctor, did not trouble them.
The change proved wise one in other
respects, also. Our now neighbors were
very different from our old ones, moro cul-
tivated, better bred, and really, "neigh-
borly." They took liking to us from the
first, and my husband soon worked his
way, through their influence, into hand
some practice. We now own the place
where we reside, and it is, by general con-
sent, considered one of the handsomcst in
Trumpctown.
Occasionally l meet Mrs. Cotton in the
village streets, but she is always oblivious
of my presence. Once at wedding at a
church there was crowd when we came
out, and she was pushed close to me-
shall never forget the gesture with which
she drew away her akirt, as if carried in
fcction with me. She was tired, you see,
with me, at least, of "BE1Na NEIanDoRIY. "
