How to Behave mt the Table.

IL wish my mother would never
have company. A fellow cant get
enough to eat when people are staring
at him."
AS | was visiting Franks mother 1t
the time, thought this remark was
rather personal. l suppose i blushed.
At any rate, Frank at once added:
"Now, Aunt Marjorie, l did not
mean you when l said that; | meant
strangers. like ministers and gentlemen
from out West, and young ladies'"
"Oh,' said l, Il am very glad to
be an exception, and to be sure that |
do no: embarrass you. Really, Frank,
it is an unfortunate thing to be 80 did.
dent that You cannot take q meal in
comfort when guests are at the table. |
suppose you do not enjoy going ont to
dine yourself?'
mo-" he said; Il Just hate it."
Perhaps one reason why 0oys and
girls do not feel so comfortable and 60
at ease as they might on special occa.
sions at the table is because thew do
not take pains to be perfectly polite
when there is no one present but the
ordinary home-folks. In the first place,
we owe it to ourselves always to look
very neat and nice at our own tables
Nobody should presume to sit down to
q meal without making . proper toilet
beforehand. Boys ought to be careful
that their hair is brushed, their hands
and faces clean, their nails free from
stain and soil. aud their collars and ties
in order before they approach the table.
A very few moments spent in this
preparation will frcshen them up and
give them the outward appearance Of
little gentlemen. I hope girls do not
need to be cautioned thus. t.
Then there are some things which
good manners render necessary, but
about which every one is not informed
Of course YOU know that you are not to
eat with your knife. Fifty years 40
people frequently ate with their knives
and it is quite possible that now and
then You may see some old-fashioned
person doing so; but it is not customary
now, nor is it safe or convenient When
you send your plate for second help
Ing, or when it is about to be removed,
you should leave your knife and fork
side by side upon it.
1t is not polite to help yourself too
generously to butter. Salt should be
placed on the edge Of the plate. never
on the table-cloth. DO not drink with
spoon in the cup, and never drain the
very last drop. Bread should be but

Nothing is worse than to make q noise

Mushroom Culture 10 France.

IN arriving at Arcueil one Is prepared
to find some unusual industry carried
on; the large tracts Of undulating
ground, uncultivated and unfenced,
covered with . scant growth Of grass
and weeds, with, dotted here and there,
peculiar wooden Dir shafts, looking like
dismantled windmills, make up \ pic.

unique In the neighborhood Of Paris.

that did service for : pathway from tho

being turned by several men, one Of

my introduction he politely expressed

planned tho mode Of preparing the ma.

led me 70 the door in the middle Of the

were three beds, one against each wall

Bargaining" has become the most
prominent of political methods since the
Republican party became the minority
organization in 1874. Since then, there
has been scarcely one important political
event wherein a bargain" was notfound
sooner or later. From the fraudulent
counting in of Hayes to the recent cap
ture of the Senate committee by the Ma
hone Republican coalition, the history
of the Republican party is an almost
solid record of bargains" in which the
Federal offices have been the coin of
exchange. The present determination
of the Democratic Senators to prevent
the carrying out of the Mahone-Repub-
lican bargain" is the first decided stand
that has been taken against this demon
alizing political method, and it is likely
to be disastrous to the pet Republican
policy. The Democratic Senators merit
popular support in their attempt to at
least partly purify politics by dispelling
the faith of the political traders in the
ability of the Republican managers to
carry out their promises of rewards for
despicable services.
