Etiquette of Conversation.

The etiquette of conservation is
founded upon the fact that persons to
be agreeable when in company must be
good-natured. The following rules
from number published in the Rural
Home may prove serviceable:
Do not talk of your private, personal
and family matters.
Do not appear to notice inaceur &C les
of speech in others.
Do not allow yourself to lose
temper and speak excitedly.
DO not allude to unfortunate pecul-
iarities of any one present.
Do not talk very loud. A firm, clear.
distinct, yet mild, gentle and musical
voice, has greater power.
DO not try to force yourself into the
confidence of others. If they give
their confidence, never betray it.
Do not intersperse your language
with foreign words or high-sounding
terms. 1t is almost as inpolite as TO
whisper.
Do not speak with contempt or ridi-
Guile of locality where you may be
visiting. Find something to truthfully
praise and commend; thus make your
self agreeable.
Do not make pretense of gentility,
nor parade the fact that you are de-
scendant of any notable family. You
must pass for just what you are, and
must stand on your own merit.
Do not contradict. In making cor
rection, say, beg your pardon. but
l have an impression that'it was so and
So" Be careful in contradicting. as
yoA may lie wrong yourself.
Do not make a parade of being &C.
quainted with disting uished or wealthy
people, of having been to college, or
having visited foreign lands. All this
is no evidence of real genuine worth on
your part.
Do not aspire to be great story
teller; an inveterate teller of long
stories becomes very tiresome.
Do not talk scandal; you sink your
own moral nature by SO doing, aud you
are, perhaps. doing great Injustice to
those about whom you talk.

BEANS AND SPLIT PEAs.--Beans and
split peas are much finer and taste
richer when cooked in close earthen-
ware dish in an oven, like rice. Then
the juices are retained, and the beans
or peas eat as if butter had been added
to them, which is not the case when
cooked by boiling. No more water
should be put upon them than they will
absorb.

To DETECT ADJUDICATION IN COFFEE.
Take wineglass or tumbler full of
water, and gently drop pinch of the
the ground coffee on the surface of the
water, without stirring or agitating:
genuine coffee will float for sometime
whilst chicory or any other sweet, will
soon sink; and chicory, or caramel will
cause yellowish or brown color to
diffuse rapidly through the water whila
pure coffee will give no sensible tint
under such circumstances, for con-
siderable length of time. "Coffee mix
lures or coffee improvers should
he avoided. They seldom consist of
anything but chicory and caramel
burnt sugar., which, of course, de.
ceive, by the rich, dark infusion they
give. /" French Coffee" so widely used
at present. is generally ground coffee,
the beans of which have been roasted
with certain amount OF sugar, which,
coating over the bean, has retained
more of the original aroma than in or.
binary coffee, but this, OF course, at the
expense of the reduced percentage of
coffee due to the presence of the cara
melized sugar.-[Cassell's Magazine.

How it was Obtained.

The value of good penmanship-and
all kinds of similar manual skill-has
been proved in the experience of many
boy seeking situation. 1t pays we'll
to take pains during ones school. days
in making letters and figures. so as to
acquire an elegant hand. A New York
paper relates how city merchant con,
cluded to give days job to a boy who
wanted steady place and was so much
pleased with his willingness that he
told the lad to come the next morning.
He was there long before any one else
was, and in that way showei his prompt
ness. During the day, when the fore
man was out, he marked the weight on
some bundles he had been weighing.
The head of the firm happened to notice
the figures, and as they were so we'll
made, and il strange hand, he in
quired as to who made them.
When he learned that the new boy
had made them, he sent for him to
come down to tho Office. When he
came into the Office he was asked to
show a specimen of his writing by
copying an article. His writing was so
beautiful that he decided to hire him
for an office clerk.
So this boy, who was poor, obtained
q permanent situation and good salary
by his willingness to do any work that
he was given to do; also by taking pains
with his figures and writing.

An Endemic of Accidents.

1t seems sometimes as if railway and
steamboat accidents moved in cycles, so reg
ularly do they come and go. Some diseases
also come and go in the same way, leaving in
their track desolatc homes and mourning
hearts, but even these are surpassed in the
agony Of lingering tornment by diseases
which cause excruciatihg pain. but do not
kill The bladder and kidneys are especially
the seat of these troubles, but the celebrated
OREGON KIDNEY TEA, purely vegetable
remedy, will cure all such cases, and is indeed
boon to the human race. Sold by all
druggists.

The WOUNDS FAIR. Although the
vexed question about the site of the
Worlds Fair of 1888 is settled and the
committee are therefore tout of the
woods" they are really in the woods,
for " Inwood"' is the site selected. In
wood is level spot of go acres in ex-
tent on the extreme north end of Man
haitian Island, with the Harlem River
on one side ard the Hudson not far
from the other. The plot is historical
ground, too, and has the Black Horse
Tavern, of revolutionary fame, on it,
which will be more of an object of in
terest than the New England home
stead was at the Centennial. The
tavern was one of Washington's head
quarters, of course. Inwood is eleven
miles from the City Hall, and is
reached by numerous buses and
steamers, two elevated railroads and
the Hudson River Railway.

A Tenacious Foe.

During the draining of some huge
carp ponds upon an estate in Warm
brunn, Silesia, it was observed that
frogs were clinging to the backs of
many OF the larger carp. Most of the
fish thus beridden were blind, the freg's
fore-feet being found firmly fixed in
the eye-sockets of its victim. The
chief pond. keeper explained that the
frogs object in bestridlng the carp was
to feed upon the shiny matter that SO
frequently forms a sort of spongy
crust on the heads and backs of the
older fish; and, once settled in it's favor
ite seat, it speedily succeeds in goug
ing its finny steed, which, when
blinded, being unable to look for food,
soon perishes of hunger. How tightly
those voracious bstriciaus held on to
their living pastures Was exemplitied
by the pond-master, who picked up a
carp weighing two pounds and half,
and held it suspended in the air by one
Of the hind-legs of frog perched upon
it in the manner above described
Carps thus frog-ridden begin to turn
green on the third day after the para
sitical croaker has taken its seat, rapidly
waste away, and generally die within a
fortnight from the beginning of their
martyrdom.
