Catching ChOate.

Refus Choate, in an important marine
assault and battery at sea case, had
Dick Barton, chief mate of the clipper
ship Challenge, on the stand, and badg-
cred him so, for about an hour, that at
least Dick got his saltwater temper
started and hauled by the wind to bring
the keen Boston lawyer under his bat
teries.
AT the beginning of his testimony,
Dick had said that the night was dark
as the devil, and raining like seven
bells"
Suddenly Mr. Choate asked HIM:
WAS there a moon that night?i
"A moon?'
Yes. q moon.

"Did you see it?''

How to Introduce.

1t is often said that great caution
ought to be exercised in introducing
people to each other, but somewhat
exaggerated Importance has been at
tached to this point. As rule, you are
not likely to meet in any house where
you yourself visit any person whom you
would not be willing to know 1t is
graceful courtesy, however, when q gen
tleman has expressed wish to be pre-
scented to lady to tell her of it aud
ask her permission in advance. There
is even something in the very fact that
the man has desired to know her, which
would incline q woman favorably to-
ward him. A man is introduced to q
lady, of two ladies or two gentlemen,
the younger is presented to the elder or
the least distinguished to the better
known. 1t is always well to give two
strangers q slight hint on which a con-
versation can be based. If you are in
troduced to Mr.. Hardy, it is a name,
no more; but if your hostess adds, "Mr
Hardy, of whose novels you are SO fond
you at once under stand the value of
your opportunity. 1t is better to pre-
sert MIR. Browne from New York, y

the city may recall the thought of some
common friend; at least it gives you q
score of suggestions for the first CONVEX
sation, which between shy people is often
an effort If you know that your inter-
locutor is an author, an artist, must
clan, YOU are thus furnished key to
whatever is most interesting in his range
of thought and experience. 1t would
have been hard to forgive a hostess who
would have presented Trelawney to you
without letting you know it was the Ire
lawney of Byron and Shelley; OF Severn,
without any suggestion, that it was the
! Severn whom Keats loved One likes
to know even who has been ncighbor
to the rose. 1t is rudeness, when some
one asks to be presented to you not to
use your best efforts to make the con
versation pleasant Merely to bow and
say good evening is not sufficient. The
small coin of social intercourse is inn
peratiyely called for. Especially when
you are the hostess and a guest has been
brought by friend, all your social tact
would be well employed to make the
new conner feel welcome and at home
In nothing is that good breeding of
which true kindness is the very soul
more surely tested than in the reception
of q guest who perceives herself to have
come at an inopportune time.-Pioneer

Care for the Horses.

Horses. with their winter coats, sweat
easily. When brought in warm, they
should be rubbed dry and blanketed for
an hour. Work horses should not be
blanketed in the stable. but carriage
horses, or those used only upon the road
may be kept warmly blanketed, for
though by this they become more sensi-
tive to cold, and must have more care.
yet their coat does not grow so close
and long, and they are much less likely
to sweat when driven. Ground or crush
ed oats 60 farther are better digested.
aud mix better with other feed than
whole ones They are the best winter
feed for horses. but may be mixed with
corn or barley meal or wheat bran and
middlings for work horses to advantage.
Whole grain is not fed without waste

Phenie's Pail.

A heap of little bits of calico and linen
lay just ahead of Phenie's broom. 1t
was very cunning new broom, and it
swept as clean as new brooms always
do. The sitting room had to be swept
a good many times in day, for Miss
Poor, the dressmaker was there, snip
ping and shipping, and making all the
litter she possibly could-so Picnic
thought. But she liked to sweep it up
very well indeed
I'D pick those pieces out and save
them for paper rags said Aunt Anna,
coming in just at that moment.
There's such a little of EN- said
Picnic. II don't believe it's cent S
worth. | want to 90 out and sweep
the veranda, too.
So Picnic fidgeted a minute with her
broom, and when she found Aunt Anna
didn't say any more she left the bits of
cotton in corner of the wide brick
hearth, and went out to sweep the ver-
anda floor And when she went in
again the rags were all out of the way.
All through the summer there were a
good many bits of cloth and paper to
pick up; but Picnic didn't touch them
very often. There was always such a
little, and she didn't like to anyway.
But in the fall tin peddler drove up
to the door in shiny green cart letter
ed with gold. And among other beau
tiful things he had some little tin pals,
painted and lettered too.
so auntie,n screamed Picnic, in the
greatest delight, cant have oneP''
Thirty cents, only said the ped
dler.
After one look at Aunt Annals face.
Picnic felt, with dreadful sinking of
her heart, that he might as well have
said thirty dollars.
"rn take rags" said the peddler,
swinging one of the pals on his finger;
flour cents pound
Aunt Anna eyes began to laugh
Have you got any rags, Picnic, "
she asked
"No'm,n said Picnic, solemnly.
"Ifyou had only saved them, Picnic.
''But there was such a little" said
Picnic.
Aunt Anna laughed. Then she
brought in from behind the shed door
bag stuffed full OF rags. Here they
are, Picnic" she said.
Picnic opened her eyes and the ped
dler began to laugh. In a minute he
had weighed the rags.
1.-The pals yours said he, ''and
two cents over Many little makes
a good deal, little girl. Now I'm com
ing around again next spring. Can't
you save some rags for me?''
Eyes, SIR said Picnic, hugging her
pail with the two jingling coppers.
And the other day when Aunt Anna
found a breadth of her lilac poplin dress
in Phenie's rag bag she almost wished
that Picnic wouldn't pick the rags up
quite SO snug.
