A South End man attended a circus
for the first time in thirty years, and
burst into tears at the vivid recollec-
tions of his vanished youth, recalled
by the remarks Of the clown.
In ancient days the precept was,
"Krow thyself" In moderen times it
has been supplanted by the far more
fashio liable maxim, Know thy neigh
Dor and every thing about him."

Solid Hints to Picnicers.

The best place to set table is on the
side hill. The efforts of those on the lower
side to keep their place restrais those Oh
the upper side from leaving theirs and 60
ing over the table. The table itself should
be CT sufficien: size to accommodate one
half OF those sitting at ii. EyerbOdy is
then held in his or her place. One knife
will do for every four persons, and the
plate, the beans and vinegar are taken
from, is just the thing for your custard.
II gives it body. Hot tea is good. 1t
should be seal ing hot, though, and always
pass over the heads of the party when
there is no opportunity to shove il under
their farms. Dead flies should be removed
by the hand from the food. The live ones
Can be scared off. There are two things
10 picnic that cannot be avoided, and
should be borne with stolcism. These are
the unexpected shower and the equally
unexpected hornet. They can be utilized
to some extent by letting the hornet put in
his work first. Showers cool such places,
and by having the places ready when the
showers comes, an advantage is gained.
