Table Manners of Children.
Bill Nye's Boomerang.

Table Manners OF Children.
Bill Nye's Boomerang.
Young children who have to wait
till older people have eaten all there
is in the house should not open the
dining room door during the meal and
ask the host if he is going to eat all
day. 1t makes the company feel i'll at
ease and lays up wrath in the parents
heart.
Children should not appear dis
pleased with the regular course at din
ner and then fill up on pie. Eat the
less expensive food first and then
organize a panic in the preserves.
Do not close out the last of your
soup by taking the plate in your
mouth and pouring the liquid down
your childish neck. You might spill it,
it enlarges and distorts the mouth un-
necessarily.
When asked what part Of the fowl
you prefer do not say you will take
the part that gets over the fence last.
This remark is very humorous, but the
rising generation ought to originate
some new table jokes that will be
worthy of the age in which we live.
Children should early learn the use
If a fork aud how to handle it. This
knowledge can be acquiDd by allow
ing them to pry up the carpet tacks
with the instr ument, and other little
exercises such as the parents mind
NAV suggest.
The child should be taught at once
not to wave his bread around over the
table while in conversation. or to fill
his mouth full Of potatoes and then
converse in a rich tbne of voice with
some one out in the yard. He might
get his dinner down his treachsa and
cause his parents great anxiety.
In picking up plate or saucer filed
with soup or with moist food. the
child should be taught not to parboiI
his thumb in the contents of the dish
and to avoid swallowing soup bones or
other indigestable debris.
Toothpicks are generally the last
course, and children should not be
permitted to pick their teeth and kick
he table through the other exercises.
While grace is bein! said at table,
children should know that it is a breach
of good breeding to smouge fruit cake
just because their parents heads are
bowed down and their attention for
the moment turned in another direc-
ton. Children ought not to be per-
mitted to find fault with the dinner
or fool with the cat while eating
Boys should. before gcing to the table,
empty all the frogs am grasshoppers
out of their pockets. or those insects
might crawl out during the festivities
and jump into the gravy.
If a fly wades into your jelly up to
his gambrels do not mash HIM with
your spoon before all the guests, as
death is at all times depressing to those
who are at dinner and retards diges
ton. Take the fly out carefully with
what naturally adheres to his person
and wipe him on the tabie-cloth. 1t will
demonstrate your perfect command
of yourself and afford amusement for
the company. d. not stand up in
your chair and try to spear a roll with
your fork. Say "thank you" aud
"much obliged" and "beg pardon"
whenever you can work in these re-
marks. as it throws people of their
guard and gives you an opportunity to
get in your work on the pastry and
other bric-a brac near you at the time.

She Wanted Notices.
Cincinnati saturday Night.


A gentleman whose wife had in
s:ructed him to purchase a few nice
appropriate NOTICES, became inebriat-
ed and forgot just what was wanted
of him. He bad a C. n'used notion
that his wifes request was in some
way relative to his purchase of some
thing in the way Of sign cards, so he
called upon dealer and purchased
quite variety.
1--WE got 'em, (hic) my dear. He
he-here's whole lot nice un's," he
said, as he triumphsntly produced his

With a sigh over his maudlin
condition. she opened the parcel and
found the following: Hands OF.

Then the lady went down in town
and made her own selections, and
when her husband woke up one morn
ing after a spree that cost him four
hundred dollars. a placard stared him
i'm the face from his bedroom wall.
Rum Did 1t ;" and when he turned
over with a groan, he noticed the
warning, "Shun the Bowl" Shifting
uneasily 10 the other side he caught
sight of, "Death in the Cup He

I'm MenlOrianl.

In the death of Mrs. Catharine
Sprinkle, which occurred in this city
on the 18th of January, 1882, in the
10th year of her age, a vacant place
was left which cannot be easily filled.
The deceased was a daughter of Col.
Jacob and Sarah Myers, who long
since crossed over the silent river
to the other shore. Col. Jacob
Myers died in the 81 year of his age
He was deVout Christian and for
forty years an elder in the Reformed
church. The church edifce in Mar
tinsburg was erected mainly through
his efforts. For many years he dis.
charged the duties of magistrate and
represented this comfy in the legis-
lature. His wife died at the age of
81 years. She was an estimable
woman, and an exemplary and con.
sistent member of the Reformed
church. Mrs. G. Sprinkle inherited
that strong devotion ,piety and Chris
tian charity which characterized the
lives of her parents. Devoted to her
church, consistent in her profession
and daily walk, liberal in her char
tiles, when the summons came which
called her from earth away, she was
ready to go, and passed from life to
Immortality like one who wraps
the drapery of his couch about him,
and lies down To pleasant dreams. +"
How sad to part with those we love,
AID yet we know it's best,
For those who love their Lord on earth
Must go to Him for rest
Thy suffering here is over now,
And thou art ever blessed
To be so near thy Saviour's side
And on his bosom rest.
We tried TO save thee, mother, dear,
We tried to soothe thy pain,
And hoped that on some future day
We'd see thee smile again
Alas thy smiles we n'er can see
Now bitter tears we shed,
To see the one we loved so well,
Now numbered with the dead
Then fare thee well, our mother, dear,
Thy last sweet smile is given,
And though we meier will meet on earth,
Wen meet again in Heaven. NC. H..
