Have Some Cheerful Talk at Table.

1t is not enough that at the table no.
body should be glum and silent, and
nobody disobliging and cross. Neither
is it quite enough that everybody has
come to their place with suitable fresh
ening of face, hands, hair and dress.
The growing lad, with his hungry APP
petite, sometimes claims that mother is
over fastidious when she insists on q
nice toilet for the dinner table and is
resolute that traces of outdoor work
shall be re.ioved, but he will thank her
for her care in years to come. So, too,
will his wife; for mother should never
forget that it is she who must train her
boy to be good husband, considerable
and thoughtful in little things. We
ought to bring to the table some pleas
ant topic about which to talk. Not &C.
currences in the neighborhood merely,
although kindly interest in our neigh
bors and sincere pleasure in their good
fortune, is not gossip, nor reprehensi-
BILE. In the daily journal or the week
ly are found the history of current
events the world over. Everybody
reads the papers. The few, compare
lively, make their fresh news the pivot
on which to hang information, from
which to start on Investigations in the
encyclopedias or tours across the map.

the most recent discovery, the book
which you are reading aloud in the

ers, but they should be encouraged to
bear their part intelligently and mod
erately in the talk at the family meal.

Another game, called nOO-glOok-t0Ok,
is played by the Eskimo men and boys
A piece of walrus ivory. about as long
as the forefinger and probably little
larger in diameter, is pierced near tho
middle with holes running entirely
through. and as thickly placed rs can
be without cutting it in two. Through
each extremity is passed n stout sinew
string. one end of which holds it fast to
the roof of the iglOo or tent, while the
other is tied to some heavy object, as q
walrus's skull or a stone, which acts rs
a weight and keeps both strings taut.
Some member of the playing party
then puts up something as prizes
pair of walrus's tusks, or. perhaps, q
reindeer coat. The players, who stand
in circle around the perforated ivory
cylinder, arm themselves with long,
sharpened sticks. with points small
enough to enter the holes (such as
seal-spears with the barbs removed, OF
iron ramrods), and are then ready to
commence; and as the prize-giver gives
sudden shout of "Yi! Yir' they all
begin jabbing ut the holes. Finally,
some lucky fellow succeeds in thrust.
ing the point of his stick, spear, or ram.
rod through one of the holes, when he
loudly shouts "Yi! Yi!'' and pushes the
cylinder aside to show that he is win.
ner. and the jabbing ceases. The vic.
tor now puts up some new prize,-a
musk-ox robe, or a sledge dog, or q
sealskin line, the game goes on
as usual until all are ready to stop

Where Styles Come From.

ave are always on the lookout fol
something new" says writer in the
american Tailor. "Sometimes we ge,
a suggestion or hint from tailor OF
other person, and will work on it until
we produce something acceptable.
After getting suggestions from tailors
and others, and considering them, per.
haps getting the views of lady, we 90
off and do as many newspaper men do,
act as we please 1t is well enough
to get the ideas of others, but when we
come down to work we have to boss
the job and use our own ideas. 1t is
one of those businesses in which there
is no well-defined method as to origin
ating styles. Observation and study
are required. Formerly changes were
made in February for spring and sum-
mer styles, and in August for fall and
winter, and the greatest changes are
still made ut these periods.
The trade for the past ten years, at
least, has, however, not been content
with but two plates per year, and must
now have them quarterly, many of tho
foremost demanding them monthly.
The great changes are i'm the spring
and fall, however, and the others are
notifications or improvements on
them, not radical changes. The bus
mess of making style has increased
greatly within the past few years, and
there are a number mt it, but the bulk
of il is done by two or three houses.
Of course, there is not so much change
in style demanded by gentlemen as by
ladies. No, we do not get up any
styles for particular sections of the
country. When we publish the plates
they are sent to every portion of the
country, and sometimes it is found that
one style will become popular in one
section and another in an other section,
but, as rule, the tastes are as much
different in one section as another.
There are about $4,000 merchant
tailors of standing in the country
those who keep a stock and are fully up
to the times, having the best goods
and with these the fashion magazines
have come to be rs essential as the
newspaper. Such progress have we
made that even Europeans are adopting
our patterns. Formerly the representa-
tive merchant tailor might be said to
be son of poor parents. receiving
pattern-plates twice year, and being
fully satisfied. Now, however, the
merchant tailor is not content with
even the quarterly plates issued, and it
is surprising those of other countries.
They are now ever alive for something
new, to have not only the latest i'm
provements in tools and conveniences
for their business. Some were content
n few years ago with modest, unassum-
ing places of business, but now the
merchant tailor has as fine an estab-
lishment rs any tradesman."

Story of Il. Is. Washburne.

Probably one of the best Ministers
we ever had abroad was Washburne, ut
Paris. He made more of mark for
other Minister we have sent to Europe.
Yet Washburne was the hero of an in
cident of social misfortune which would
have driven any of the delicate crea-
lures now swarming after foreign
place'to commit suicide il they had
been similarly unfortunate. WASH
burne was one evening at a court din
ner given by Napoleon Ill. 1t was the
custom at these dinners, when the EN-
press arose to retire with the ladies, for
the gentlemen to rise from their seats
and step back from the table, so
that she could pass down the line be-
tween them. BY this all could avoid
turning their backs upon the Empress.
Washburno had very tender feet.
During the dinner his feet gave him O
good deal of annoyance. To case him.
self he had quietly slipped off his
patent leather pumps under the table.
He was absorbed in conversation
toward the close of tho dinner, and
was caught unawares when the EN-
press made the signal for departure.
He was suddenly obliged to step back
without having time TO put on his
pumps. He stood in his stocking feet,
grave, digniiied and self-possessed. In
the row of grinning diplomats who
stood at his right and left, he betrayed
none of the embarrassment he must
have felt, and was never heard to al
lude to the incident by any one.-NeU

My Interview with the President.

two interviews, with the President I

of no political significance whatever,
and yet the reporters persist in think
ing that because ! am reticient that,
therefore, l was refused some Office.
This being the case feel il due to N.Y.

just what happened during my recent
visit to Washington. When l got to
the White House ! was ushered into
the presence by the official usher. /
found MIR. Manning standing beside the
President, while Mr.. Lamont, the Pri-
vate Secretary, was fondling club on
the other side.
"How de dop" / said.

addressed myself especially to him.

Executive was frigid, and very much

tempting once more to break the ice,

II wanted to file nothing. Ihaven't
file with me-"
He wrung my hand and cordially in
vited me back. The next interview
with the President left nothing to bt
