Table Etiquette.

From the Rural New Yorker.
at is manners that win respect for the
lowest as well as the highest. In my opin-
ion Smsnners" at the table, is one Of. II
not the leading point of etiquette to be OBJ
served.
Some people eat too rapidly, either for
health or manners, while some eat so slow
II as to appear ridiculous. While some
eat too much for health or manners, others
pick at their food as daintily as birds. OF
course there are some whose appetites
are poor, and who make an appearance Of
eating, but have seen young girls plump,
rosy, robust creatures, who in company
would not eat enough to keep q cat alive.
/ once visited family in which were two
girls answering this description. I had
dined and supped with them, but
never at their OWE house. I had
often smiled at their dainty o ppetites, and
so at variance with their plump bodies and
rosy cheeks. and thought should see
some hearty eating at their own table, but
really, nearly starved during the few days
spent with them. They rarely ate whole
biscuit at time, and partook Of other
things in accordance. and was ashamed
to satisfy my hunger before them. At the
end of my visit with them, one of the girls
accompanied me to visit some mutual
ErlSnos, and was so amazed that scarcely
ate myself, to see that girl eat after the
first meal.
It is really absurd to see stout, healthy
person sit down to o we'll supplied table
and eat esthetically. On the other hand it
IS not exactly absurd, but rather disgusting
to refined tastes to see person eat with
such gusto so greedily and rapidly. One
thing 1 have noticed, is, that many persons
who have excellent table manners, will
make faces every time food is conveyed in
to their mouths, 1 have often been
amused at the ugly contortions Of face
practiced by some people who would have
been dreadfully m ortifed had they real
ICED what they did.

The Farm Horse for the Farmer.

The great excitement over the fast run
ming and fast trotting horses should not de-
ceive the farmer as to the kind of horse that
is most profitable on the farm. The farmer
who knows and acts up to his own interests,
wants none of your flyers to draw his pillow,
to run his reaper and mower, or to freight
his wheat or hay or other produce to mar
ket. While the millionaire can support a
2:12 Ia totting horse to amuse his leisure
hours with or to put in the hands of q
ioekey to win more with on the race track
me farmer wants horse adapted to the
work of the farm, and in raising colts or
buying them should never lose sight of this
fact. Neither is the heavy draft horse the
or. A close-built, medium sized, easily
kept horse-one that has quick step, a
gentle disposition and good degree of in :
telligence and can be adapted to all pur-
poses is the farmers horse. The Morgan
breed of horses, crossed with almost any
other blood, has always proved cross in
the right direction for the farmer. Per-
haps at the present time the Percheron
horses are among the best horses known
for crossing with other breeds to make
good farm horses. The Peroherons are
larger horses than the old Morgans, but
seem in many particulars to possess the
good qualities of the original Morgan, ex-
cept that they have not quite so great speed.
The farmers horse is not the popular horse
at the agricultural fairs. The horse that
fills the eyes OF the millions ut these fairs il
the very horse that is in no one sense adapt
ed for the farm or agricultural purposes.
This is simply one fact among the many
that show that agricultural fairs, SO called,
are not turned SO much to the advantage Of
farmers as to that of other classes. Farmers
should not be misled by the eclat that fast
horses create. The popularity of the fast
horse. to great extent, comes from the
mysteries and fascination of the pool box.
The fast horse has his place and his purpose
as well as the farm horse, and he should be
admired and improved to the better fill that
place and purpose-the road and speed
just as the farm horse should be improved
to fill his place before the pillow, reaper and
mower and farmers road and freight wag-
on. But let not the pool box lead the farm
ers astray in the selection of the horse TO,
| his farm.

A Spartan Bride in the West.
III CP"K et'H -0H fetO III UH1o " o"0s
From the Chicaoo Tribuna

From the Chicago Tribune.
A young man and his sister were hired to
teach school in Clay county, Kentucky,
in partnership, the young lady to teach the
first half Of the school and her brother the
other. Very soon after the young lady be-
gan teaching one of her largest male stu
dents became her fellow and in a very
short time they were married. Not long,
however, after they were married the young
groom and another one of the brides stu
dents engaged in q little knock down. "
Each of the offenders were brought before
the fair disciple of the rod, was given an
impartial trial and the young groom was
proven to be equally guilty with the other,
and was given his choice of leaving the
school or taking whipping. He chose the
latter; so his newly made bride did herself
fair justice in the use of the rod, gave her
husband not few stripes and cutting the
blood Cut in not few places. Since then
everything has passed of pleasantly.

Home Made Christmas Gifts

From the New York Post.
In addition to the articles mentioned re-
Gently as suitable handmade Christmas
gifts are the following: a handsome tidy
IS made of alternate strips Of black
velvet and aida canvas. Have the strips OF
equal length, and straight across the top,
but pointed at the bottom; the black velvet
strips should be embroidered with bright
cclored silk around the edge, in feather
stitch or some modification of it. This is
all the ornamentation necessary to make
pretty effect. On the canvass work o scroll
or stripe with silk and worsted combined.
Finish the tidy by turning down at the top
and sides and blind-stitching, and putting
a tassel on each point. Very pretty tassels
are made of crewel. Make Just as you
would a common worsted towel, and when
made take needle and separate the threads
ing them. They will look soft and
deecy If rightly made. Brush broom cases
made of stiff canvass and ornamented with
applique work, or with a monogram worked
In silk, or with bunch of flowers, are pref
ty. Another gift requiring more time and
skill Is made by covering pane of glass or
piece Of wood the right size with velvet.
A small card may be made very effective in
this way. II you use wood for the founda-
ton, be sure that it will not warp. A pref
ty fancy, popular just now, is to paint 8
landscape on one side Of some pebble you
have brought from your summer wander
sngs. This makes a nice paper weight
Cases for brushes and combs are not hard
to make. and are useful in protecting from
dust. Cut foundation of pasteboard
either in shape like the brush or long and
narrow; cover this with any suitable mate
nal, from silesia to silk, lay the brush and
comb on it, and take another strip of PASTE
board and bend to form cover. This is
to he attached at the sides only; the ends
are left open so that the brush may be
slipped in and out easily. Cover this also
to match the other part, and ornament to
suit your own taste.-

HANG UP BABY'S STOCKING.

Hang up the baby's stocking,
Be sure You don't forget:
The dear little dimpled darling!
She never saw Christmas yet.
But I've told her all about it,
And she opened her big, blue eyes,
And I'm sure she understands it.
She looks so funny and wise.
Dear! what tiny stocking!
1t doesn't take much to hold
Such little pink toes as baby's
Away from the frost and cold,
But when for the baby's Christmas
1t will never do at all,
Why Santa wouldn't be looking
For anything half 30 small!
know now what we'll do for baby,
I've thought of the very best plan,
I'll borrow q stocking of grandma
The longest that ever cans.
And you'll hangit by mine dear mother
Right here in the corner, 30,
And write letter to Santa
And fasten it on to the toe.
Write; "This is the baby's stocking,
That hangs in the corner here,
You never have seen her, Santa,
For she only came this year;
But she's just the blessedest baby
Aud now, before you go,
just cram her stocking with goodies
From the top clean down to the toe.

HOUSE AND FARM
Gleanings nom Farm Fields.

The rule of best fabrication is to use an
oil that has the greatest adhesiveness to
metal surfaces and the least adherence as
20 its own particles. Fine mineral oils
stand first in this respect, sperm second,
neatsfoot third, lard fourth.
MIR. William Maltby, an old student Of
the Kansas Agricultural college, and one Of
the thriving farmers Of Saline county in
that state, kept on six acres of alfalfa con-
siderable herd of cattle during most Of the
season, and his work teams all the while,
and then turned on ITO hogs. He is con-
fident, the industrialist says, that this is
the forage plant for his section, and other
intelligent residents ARE rapidly coming to
the SAME conclusion.
Stock should be we'll sheltered during
the winter, for when unprotected from the
cold winds and snow storms great deal of
the food consumed goes to maintain ami
NAL heat instead of adding pounds of flesh
to the animal: The scarcity of grain and
the consequent high prices will make this
winter good time to try the experiment of
economizing feed by sheltering stock.
In Denmark, in the management of the
dairy, rape cake, oats and wheat bran are
TackonEd as first-class butter foods, palm
nut cake and barley as second-class foods,
while hnseed cake, peas and rye are placed
in the third class. BY the employment of
first and second class foods, with cut straw,
hay and roots, an abundance of excellent
butter is produced throughout the winter.
The latest crop reports from the agricul-
tural department give the average yield of
wheat per acre for this year at 10 1-2 bushels,
against Is lilo last year. The severe win
ter. the drouth and insects caused q large
falling of in the crop in the west, but the
quality is generally reported good. Corn
has yielded, on on average, 30 Ia bushels
per acre, falling off OF about IS per cent.
from last years yield. The quality is net
up to the average. The drouth seriously
affected the cotton crop in the south and
the total yield will be considerably less than
list year. In Louisiana the decrease is
about 50 per cent? in Texas 40; in Arkan-
sas 60; in Florida Is; in Tennessee A.
while in South Carolina, Mississippi and
Georgia the crop will be about the same as
last year.
