Agood wife, God bless herw
The words were spoken in trembling
accents over o cofin-lid. The woman
asleep there had borne the heat and
burden of LIES long day, and no one
had ever heard her murmur; her hand
was quick to reach out ina helping
grasp to those who fell by the wayside.
and her feet were swift on errands of
mercy; the heart of her husband had
trusted in her; he had left her to long
hours of solitude while he amused him
self in scenes which she had no part.
WsrsT boon companions deserted him,
when tickle affection selfishly departed,
when pleasure palled, he went home
and found her waiting for him.

AS a broad proposition-the harvest is
passed, the summer is ended and the grain has
been saved. Late rains have done harm and
caused vexatious delays, but from every por-

Napkins and Finger Bowls,

The dinner cloth should be fresh and
spotless, and the napkins large and
white; after the dinner is over the nap
kins should be laid loosely ut the side
of the plate. If the napkin should
happen to fall to the floor during the
dinner the guest should not attempt to
recover it, but should wait until sign
can be made to the waiter to restore it.
Ii it falls under the table out of easy
reach, no attempt should he made to
regain it, because that would ineen
venience ones neighbor Mt the table.
The white napkin is used to dry the
mouth and fingers after the finger
bowls have been used. The finger
bowls are placed ON the table after it
has been cleared for the service Of the
dessert; they are usually set on a fancy
china plate on which pretty embroid-
cred or etched napkin is laid. Ii a
fruit-napkin Of wash material is laid
under the iinser-hoMl, it is to be used

erwise the dinner napkin continues in
use until the end of the repast. The
iinger-bowls are Of different colorei

bile; little water is poured into each
one before they are place on the table,
and in some houses small glass of
perfumel water il set In the finger
bowl, which is raised to moisten the
lips and then replaced. The tips of
the fingers are dipped in the bowls and
then dried on the dinner.napkin. -

Taking \ Vacation.

and refreshed. Most of the men and
women one meets ut summer resort

ed either in body or mind by being per.
petually on the tramp Really many
people make their holidays very fatigu.
ing affairs, and in place Of coming
home rested, refreshed, and ready for
work, they come back to sick bed, and
dreary recovery from oyerwork and
exposure. It is great mistake to
make toll of pleasure, work OF your
holiday. Often better remain ut home
and take country walks. with home as
your center, than spend half your holi-
days in railway car, and the remain
der in all the fatigues of sightseeing
and the insanity Of prolonged and un-
wonted demands on your physical
strength, and fretting the brain with
the bother and anxiety of getting to
this, that. or the other place. 4 very
important matter is to select suitable
place for your vacation; and in this
selection you must consult your health,
inclination, pocket, and so forth, rs
the nature Of your ordinary work.
Decide that you will leave all business
at home, and not have it to worry about
at the seaside or among the hills, to
make the most romantic spot prosaic

and cannot be put aside. No greater
mistake can be made by man than to
