Small Conyentionalities.

One of the tests Of breeding, it is said,
lies in the use Of the knife and fork.
Thirty years ago. in France, the use Of
the knife at dinner was almost tabooed.
The custom was to divide the food with
the fork-rather an awkward custom, as
forks have generally no cutting edge
and to aid the Act Of conveying food tc
the mouth on the fork by means OF
bit of bread. Long habit makes people

How q Missionary Lost q Wife.

George Bovard is the name of young
Methodist minister who attended the
annual Conference of the NJ. E. Church
at Mercer a couple of years ago. While
there he and young lady teacher of
the Soldiers Orphan School, located in
Mercer, fell in love with each other
Her name was Clara Shaffer. He was
about to start for India to Christianize
the heather. A correspondence was
kept up between the two. and he want
ed her to come to him and be married,
and assist him in his labors. He had
no money to pay her expenses, and she
had none. In this emergency. a few
months ago, she made conidant of
"Dick" Wright, a heavy clothing
merchant of Mercer, and he being u
big-hearted man with generous I'M
pulses, offered to supply her with what
money she needed to reach her far-otf
lover. She gladly accepted his offer,
and at once began her preparations for
the long journey. ''Dick" and Miss
Shaffer were thrown much together
for while, and about the time she was
ready to start he was deeply in love
with her himself. But he said nothing,
and she started for New York with
enough Of "Dick's' money in her
pocket to take her to India.
Two or three days after her depart
ure he grew Respondent, and chided
himself for having given away his
chance for marrying Miss Shaffer HIM
self. A thought struck him, and that
was to follow her, and, if possible, over
take her before she boarded a steamer
in New York for distant India. He
acted promptly ON the thought. took
the cars, reached New York and found
the vessel on which she was to sail.
Miss Shaffer was already on board; he
made known his affection, asked her
for her hand for himself, was accepted,
and the two returned to Mercer few
days ago as man and wife.
The outcome is little rough on the
young minister who Is wrestling with
superstition and idolatry in the jungles
of India. - Pittsburgh Commercial.

Practical education is within the reach
Of any person who really determines to
observe. listen, think, reflect. Every
man has It within his power to. know
more this year than last, to acquire in
creased strength day by day tor Crap
ping with life's knotty problems. A
person who will think for himself, who
will improve every opportunity as it is
presented. who will occupy the spare
moments in earnest endeavors at adj
vancement, will soon take rank with
those scholars who are mere; book
worms, and whose heads are full of
other mems thoughts without the ca
pacity to digest or utilize them. No
one should be discouraged in the mat
ter of education who was not favored
in his youth by superior facilities.
Many an able man, at present welding
power in the land, did not wake up to
the possibilities of self-culture until late
in life. Strong common sense is of
vastly more Importance and value than
simple knowledge with no capacity for
its utilization. Every village and town
has striking examples of wise and sue
cessful men who have truly educated
themselves, men who. have taken the
world as teacher, treasuring up its
lessons for future guidance. Exchange.
