Dinners in Detail.

For family dinner it is newer best to At
tempt too much. For sensible people the
most satisfactory dinner consists first OF
good soup, then fish garnished with suita-
Bic addition, followed by roast and veg
etables with entrees, salad, cheese and
dessert. This well cooked and neatly
served ID pleasing to the most fastidi0us
guest, and Is within the means of any
housekeeper. It is the exquisite quality
of dinner that pleases. and not the null
tiplicity of dishes. Menu cards are not
needed unless the dinner is very formal.
They may be neatly written or engraved
especially for the occasion.
The dinner being prepared the next
thing in order is to seat the guests. When
the servant announces dinner, the host Of
fers bis arm to the most distinguished lady
present, while the hostess follows last
with the most honored gentleman. The
host places the lady whom he escorted on
his right, the other guests are conducted
to the seats assigned them. the lady al
ways sits at the right of her escort.
Guests as soon as seated remove their
gloves, place the napkin in the lap and
begin eating. Soup is always taken and
tasted even il not liked, after soup it is
proper to refuse or partake of whatever
is offered.
When finger glasses are presented re-
move the dolly to the left and place the
glass on it, the napkins and not the dolly
are used for wiping the fingers.
If wine is not approved of it may simply
be declined without giving any reason for
so doing, as q private table is not the
place tor discussions.
A wine glass should be held by the
STEM Bread is never cut, but broken off
by the fingers into morsels. Food should
never be mixed on the plate. Fish must
be eaten with a silver knife and fork.

the plate and eaten with fork. Soup
from the side of the spoon. Oranges are
peeled without breaking the inner skin,
being held on fork. Pears are pared
while held by the stem. Food not eaten
with fork should be eaten with spoon.
Bread eaten with meat is not buttered
Asparagus is cut and eaten with fork.
The bones should be removed from fish
before eating. Pudding may be eaten
with fork or spoon.
When the dinner is ended the hostess
signals the ladies to leave the table by
slight bow. The gentlemen may accom-
pany them or adjourn to another room to
smoke. If coffee is not served at dinner,
it is brought into the drawing-room hall
an hour later, and served by the hostess
from the urn. Half an hour after coffee
any guest is at liberty to depart. After
dinner ii is customary to call
at the house of the hostess within a week

SeasOnable Duties of Farmers.

Those who have families of children
should interest themselves in the district
school, and see that it is we'll taught and
sustained. No farmer who is parent can
afford to neglect his duty in this matter,
or fail to manifest lively interest in the
school where his own and neighbors'
children receive their rudimentary, if not
principal, education. Able school trus-
tees and commissioners, with capable and
efficient teachers, are important requisites.
and it is the incumbent duty of every par
ent to aid in securing these desirable aux
iliaries to public and home education. To
this end, attend the school meeting, vote
tor the best men for school trustees, and
aid in making liberal provision for first
class school in your district And do not
fail to visit the same occasionally and en-
courage the teacher. In this and other
ways you can do much to improve the
school. and every judicious effort in that
direction will rebound to the benefit of all
interested-parents, pupils and teachers.
Good officers and teachers can best be
secured through the personal attention and
influence of parents who manifest lively
interest in their selection and manage
ment. Furthermore. provide your family
with pure and useful books and period

How MANS Lease of Life may be
Heightened.
The possibility Of prolonging life has
commanded the serious attention Of emil
nent scientists, and the discovery Of
some compound or elixir capable Of pre-
venting or suspending physical decay, has
been, more than once, confidently pre-
dicted. The practical thing to consider
is, however, the prolongation Of life by
proper care Of the health, one Of the
best mears Of maintaining which is the
occasions. use of Ayers Pills. 8. C.
Bradburn, worthington, Mass, says:
ayers Pills are
THE BEST
remedy for sick headache, arising from
an impure state of the stomach, and are
the mildest and best purgative in the
world. They were first recommended to
me, by my mother, thirty years ago."
Mrs. j. G.. Smith, Campbelltown, Ga,
says: 81 have been cured of Rheumatism,
and am now enjoying good health, through
the use Of Ayers Pills. I am nearly

Monterey, Mexico, says: 81 have used
Ayers Pills for the past thirty years, and

them I have been enabled to avoid the

l52 State ST., Chicago, ILL.,, says: "One
year ago l was induced to try Ayers
Pills as a remedy for Indigestion, Con-
stipation, and Headache, from which
had been great sufferer. I found the
action of these Pills easy, and obtained
prompt relief. In continuing their use, a
single Pill, taken after dinner, has been
all the medicine i have required. Ayers
Pills have benefited me more than all the
medicines ever before tried" d. T. Sum-
mers, p. NJ, Wayside, Kans., says: "My
wife suffered, for several years, with Cos
tiveness and Sick Headache. She was
completely cured by using Ayers Pills."

The public has recently been shocked by
deaths resulting from the careiessness of
druggists in giving morphia for quinine. No
such error can occur in prescribing Red Star

is free faom opium or morphia, and is the
most efficacious cough remedy extant.
