We do not adyocate an etiquette for the

may be the means of teaching politeness to
children. Those who nave an instructive

quette. But all have not this instinct Some
are careless, rude, selfish, inconsiderate.
These need discipline. To give this is not to
lecture on the rules of good order or polite
ness. It must be- instilled more by example
than precept. And where the parents are
careful to observe the forms of politeness, its
importance Is naturally impressed and its
rules are speedily learned. Therefore, all

A Mans Cory Nest.

lhnftforu Times.
A friend invited us to survey his a,sthetio
sitting room the other night, and we must
confess that for a man-and a bachelor at
that-he has displayed considerable taste.
His fireplace is as pretty as can be, with
neither tile nor decoration upon 1t. The
smooth bricks are painted red with lines Of
black, and the highly polished andirons, of
graceful and uncommon shape, are rights
and lefts," curved in a rounding shape, that,
combined with their polished brass, makes a
pretty framework for the piled-up blazing
logs. Over the mantle hangs a picture of the
London Cock Tavern, made famous by Ten
nyson, and surmounted by a rooster, stuffed
but defiant, gazing, sweeping tail, and a
ju~st-ready-to-hy air, at an owl, who gazes
upon the rampant bird with sleepy supsrf-
GRITTY from the top OF a beautiful picture of
Night, with moonlight shimmering on a
silently sliding water. One OF the prettiest
pictures of all in the room is "a simple little
woodcut taken from an illustrated paper;
but the subject Is artistic md characteristic.
A fireplace, burning logs, a crane, a kettle,
a spinning-wheel, an old-fashioned chair, and
a tidy, old-fashioned little woman, with
rufled cap and folded kerchief, framed in
white, looks like a beautiful etching. The
room Is flled with ideas, and we stole these
few to show that a man can make as pretty

Economy OF woman's Time and
Labor.

IEben Il. ReKford In Western PlowmAn.1
One woman will arrange hsr work in such
a way that it goes on like clock-work. One
thing leads to another, and the first thing
you know, it is done. There has been no
hustle, no worry, no needless steps, no doing
Independently such things as could be done
partially together. A woman who works in
this way will often AVE time for rest and
amusement, and her nsighbors who do not
study and understand her way OF doing things
will get the idea that she does not nave as
much TO do as they do. They hustle about
busily, they fret over their work, they take
ten steps, often, when Ave would answer, and
their work is seemingly never completed,
simply because there is no system about it.
They fail to understand the economy of time,
and labor. which is involved in a clear, we'll
~thought-out plan.
/ have often seen women make half q dozen
trips to the cellar In one day, when a little
careful thinking in the morning would have
told them what would be needed from that
place, during the day, and one trip would
have answered for all the many steps they
gave themselves Never go twice for what
can be brought at one time II you value time,
and would make yourself as little labor as
possible" l heard n mother say to her daugh-
ter once, and the good sense in the remark Inn
pressed me, and l have never forgotten 1t. To
apply the advice the daughter must think
out.what was to DO done. before doing any
thing. Once thought out, she could 30 ar
range and combine her work that time and
labor would DO economical.

II is altogether contrary to the principles OF a

receptive is glutted to more than safety. The
natural process of building up a fabric of
mental completeness by having each new fact
and observation looked at In different ways
and having it suggest other facts and ideas.
and then settle down as a part of the regular
furniture of the mind, cannot possibly go on
where new facts are shoveled In by the hum

boys, but is worse on girls, because it Is more

Mrs. Roe in The Household
With great enthusiasm Madge undertook
to make the attic. interesting. as she had
more tact In making something out of moth
ing than l did. She made every one stay be-
low stairs until she had completed her task.
At last l was admitted to see that
she had papered the walls with
old, old picture papers. Every foot
OF surface was covered and for three
long hours l fingered over those Illustrations,
many Of them comic, some of considerable
beauty, all interesting. On the shelves she
put wall paper with the white pack turned
outward and along the edge OF this she had
drawn l%aughable charcoal sketches.
Everything was hung up so tina it was
convenient to dispose OF in that way and
other things were put away into old chests
or large boxes with lids. The inexorable
rule for keeping the attic in order was that
everything taken there for storage should be
put snugly away, and not merely taken to
tina head OF the steps and thrown down.
We voted Madge's attic gallery a success.

TAunt JudyisM apnxine.

After this royal couple we come TO the only
one OF these old wnI works which anybody, 1
think, could call CHASTITY. 1t represents
Queen Elizabeth, and was made probably in
1890 to superseds the former one, which by
the time was quite worn out; but though thus
comparatively modern 1t of course was copied
from It's predecessor, and is so like the face
on the queens tomb that one cannot help be-
lisving It TO be a good portrait But 1t Is a
very repulsive one.
The light falls through a pan of glass in
the top of the press on a drawn, greenish face,
with little gray eyes turned blankly upwards
In a CLASSY stare, arcbed eyebrows and a high,
hooked nose. The pursed-up mouth and
wrinkled checks are those OF an old woman;
1t is as II the spell, which by her strong will
and her mingled common sense and vanity,
the virgin queen cast all her life over
those around her, had passed away;

looked in hsr last years. There Is something
very uncanny about her altogether; In fact
tho warsn face is painfully like that OF a
corpse and this unpleasant effect Is heightened
by her gorgeous dress, with the tall, ruff
standing up around her dingy neck, which Is
covered with more ~festoons Of huge false

such an enormous farthingale that It gives

Mexican Kitchen Cleanliness

lrhunle DTlRuhm hhIu-l
Whatever else American housekeepers
may find worthy of Imitation In Mexican
methods, / am sure that dish-washing, as
that disagreeable duty is practiced here, will
not be one of them. The Mexican dish
washer does not bother with a table-and
thereby saves her arms from ~scrubbing
and her legs from standing-bu seats her
self serenely on the floor beside a pail of hot
or cold water. She has no soap, but a little
sliced amole root makes a stronger and
clearer suds and in lieu of a dishcloth she uses
a tiny broom-brush like our SMALLEST whisk
brushes.
The only disagreeable suggestion about 1t
Is that these dish brooms are exactly like
those used to brush hair-from the "hoad Of
the family" down to that OF the humblest

and the fear will intrude that those brooms
may some times get mixed" like Butter

but are turned up to dry, sometimes

but generally on the hard dirt floor

always come to the table clean and shining.

upon the ground, dips up a little fresh earth,
and holding the knife or spoon firmly on a
stone, polishes at her leisure. Despite dirt

A Rebuke to sensitive People

new orleans IuncS-DemOcrhLI
One class, a very large one-a Glass that
revels in self-deception, and therefore not
likely to amend its ways--could not do bet
ter than to devote the year Of grace 1884 to
the cure of a disease that renders the in
diyidual supremacy miserable, and makes yet
more wretched those unfortunates linked by
ties of kindred to its unhappy members, the
class of people known as @sensitiyes-" Young
persons are prone to regard sensitiveness as a
charming virtue, one that must be assumed
il they have IL not They really believe that

My sweet Sensitive Plant, your sensitive
ness is but the euphuistic name for selfish
ness, you may depend upon it
II you think more OF other people, of their
comfort and pleasure, the natural result must
be less morbid introspection and less self
dedication; which Is the chief cause Of the
Ills that most atflict us; ills that cannot be
cured unless the patient heals himself by a
wholesome interest in humanity; by an ef.

"A man has so much the advantage of a

she needs to do twice the amount of pure

thinking, = as well as gains that peculiar in
formation and mental alertness which comes
from actual contact with affairs"
