~E Courtesy nj Home.

Good breeding, like charity, should
begin at home. The day is past when
children used to rise when their parents
entered the room where they were and
stand until they had received permission
to sit. But the mistake is now made
usually in the other direction in allow
ing to small boys and girls too much
license to disturb the peace of the
household. / think the best way to
train children in courtesy would be to OBJ
serve toward them scrupulous polite
ness. / would go so far as to say that
we should make it as much a point to
listen to children without interrupting
them and to answer them sincerely and
respectfully as if they were grown up
And, indeed, many of their wise, quaint
sayings are far better worth listening to
than the stereotyped commonplace of
the morning callers. OF course, to al
low uninterrupted chatter would be to
Surrender the repose of the household,
but it is very easy, if children are them
selves scrupulously respected, to teach
them in turn scrupulously to respect
the convenience of others, and to know
when to talk and when to be silent.
If a child is brought up in the con-
slant exercise of courtesy toward brotl-
ers and sisters and llaymates, as wei
as toward parents and uncles and aunt,
it will have little left to learn as H.

witching little girl who was well-in-
structed in table etiquette, but who for
got her lessons sometimes, as even older
people do now and then. The arrange
ment was made with her that for every
solecism of this sort she was to paw a
fine of cents, while for every similar
carelessness which she could discover in
her elders she was to exact fine of 10
cents, their experience of life being lon
ger than hers You may be sure that
Mistress Bright Eyes watched the pro-
ceedings of that table very carefully.
No slightest disregard of the most con-
ventional etiquette escaped her quick
vision, and she was an infexible cred
itor and faithful debtor 1t was the
prettiest sight to see her, when con-
scious of some failure on her own part,
go unhesitatingly to her money-box and
pay cheerfully her little tribute to the
outraged proprieties.

principle of always commencing them

say any word of commentator after
some social occasion, ask as anxiously
as possible, What was it, mamma? I

Two Ways.

In fruit shop the other day the wife
of the proprietor came in with friend
and asked her husband to hand the
friend 10 cents, with which she had
supplied her to get II spool of thread
while out. He did so, and Tie wife
walked off evidently too well used to
her penniless condition TO see anything
old about it. Another day woman of
far lower social pretensons than the
one first mentioned, entered millin-
cl's store, and selecting Il handsome
feather, asked the price. Seven dol

Only a Slight Mistake.

On the train between Montgomery.
Ala. and Nashville, Tenn. there was
dozen of us chatting away in the
smoking-car when one of the gentle-
men drew out pack of cards and pro-
duced game of euchre. He soon
found partner, and after few hands
out they began to play for 81 point
and ten points for game. Naturally
enough we all became interested. and
more or less excited. BY and by there
was a slip somewhere, and the one
called Colonel remarked:
Major, hands off the cards.
Beg your pardon, Colonel, but the
trick is mine"
major, hope You will excuse me
for calling you a liar?"
''Oh. certainly, Colonel. but / take
that trick with the king of spades"
IF you do, Major. I'lltake you with
thisr' said the Colonel, as his six shoot
er came out.
"Ah! let us see, Colonel--let us see.
You led the nine of spades and put on
the king

and you refused suit
That so--that's so.n said the Major
as he looked over the cards. Colonel

for a blackleg."

One way OF Purchasing Sketches.

Numerous anecdotes about Dore, the
celebrated artist. are now appearing.
One day at Ischl peasants wedding
gave him the idea of an exquisitely
pretty sketch On finishing his draw
ing he closed his album. put it into the
pocket of his paletot. and walked home
TO his hotel. After dinner the album
had disappeared; neither the host nor
the walters knew anything about it.
Dore went to bed furious. In the
morning he received parcel and an
anonymous letter to the following
effect ''Sir. knowing you would not
sell your album, robbed you of it Chat
last sketch of yours being quite irresist-
ible); but in order that you should not
take me for common thief beg your
acceptance of the following traveller !
staff " Dore opened the parcel. II
contained cane with n gold head in
crusted with precious stones-really 8
princely gift. He was never able tc
ascertain the name of the donor.

Tho Secret OF Good Butter.

Every one knows how superior is the
reputation of Philadelphia butter, and
many have the attempts been to account
for it. Perhaps the most popular no
ton was that it was due to the prevail
once of the "sweet vernal grass" in our
pastures and hay tields-the grass that
often gives so peculiar q fragrance to
meadow hay. But it needed very little
reasoning to demolish such a theory as
this. The grass is one of the poorest
for hay or pasture purposes, and scarce
ly exists, except on cold clay lands,
partially shaded places near groves or
low woods. Yet while this grass is the
exception, in low pastures or in the hay
fed to our cows good butter is the gem
cral rule in all our markets.
1t has long been the opinion of our
best agricultural generalizers of fact
that we owe much more of the sweet
ness of the butter to the abundance of
springs and spring houses in our state
than to anything peculiar which grows
in our pastures. Milk has a peculiar
affinity for any odors in the atmosphere,
and water has some; hence whatever
impurities may get into the atmosphere
of the spring house is drawn ont by
running water, and the very best Sc
cllrity is provided against their being
absorbed by the cream.
We notice this through observing an
inquiry whether the light of a kerosene
lamp in a dairy could possibly affect
the quality of the butter. All odors
of every description should he avoided
if the very best brand is desired
There is one little incident in this
reputation of Philadelphia butter which
must never be forgotten. The follow
ers of Penn made up large class of
the original farming population. With
all these people cleanliness was es-
pecially one of the virtues. 1t was not
mere sentiment that it was "next to
godliness," but an every day testimony
in all they did. Aided in these cleany
practices by their numerous springs
and spring houses, we have little donbt
we owe to them as much as to any other
circumstances the eminent character
which Philadelphia butter enjoys; and
we believe that if other quarters would
give special attention to these little
niceties, as good butter might be had in
any part of the Union as here Never
theless we are obliged to add that there
is a great deal of poor butter sold in
Philadelphia made in the eastern coun-
ties, arising, we think, from these hav-
ing a small dairy churning only half as
often as they should. Chicago Herald.

The Texas Cowboy.

The cowboy is man attached to a
gigantic pair of spurs. He inhabits the
prairies of Texas, and is successfully
raised as far north as the thirtieth de-
gree of latitude. He is in season all the
year round, and is generally found on
the back of a small mustang pony, wild
and savage as a colt of the Ukarine. T"
This fact has given rise to widely diff
fused belief that the cowboy cannot
walk, and he is often cited as an instance
"a stupendous manifestation in fact
of the wonderful working of nature to
adapt her creatures to the circumstances
surrounding them 1t is argued that
once the cowboy was human being
biped with the ordinary powers of loco
motion but that during the course Of
ages, becoming more and more attached
to his horse, and having gradually
ceased to use his legs, these important
adjuncts have been incapacitated for pc
destrian uses, and thus the cowboy and
his pony have developed into an hybrid
union of man and horse--an inferior
kind of Centaur
Some scientists, however, dispute this.

thirst-been seen to detach themselves
from their mustangs and disappear into
business houses, where their wants were
attended to by a man wearing a diamond
breastpin and white apron. Yet, though
this was proved beyond doubt by sew
eral competent witnesses, it was ac-
knowledged that the specimens alluded
to walked, or rather staggered, with un-
even and wavering steps. This, how
ever, does not disprove the development
theory.
The cowboy does not wear a coat.
His legs are weatherboarded with goat
skin overalls to protect them from the
thorns OF the mesquite, and he is rooted
over with a sombrero, wide in the COR

ventilation.
In the use of the lasso and profane
language he has no equal. He can rope
