Table Manners.

Good manners at the table are al
most an infallible evidence of refine
ment and careful breeding. A safe
general rule to be followed there, rs
well as elsewhere, is that of consider
alton for the feelings of those about
you-a desire to avoid giving oflense
by uncouth or coarse actions. 1t is
well, however, to remember tho fol.
lowing timely precepts: Eat and
drink leisurely and without noise-it
is not appetizing to have the hog trough
and its accompaniments brought
wildly TO mind at a meal; do not
scrape your plate, tilt it up to get the
last drop, or wipe it dry with piece
of bread-stinginess on the part of
host or hostess might be
implied; II you mix messes on your
plate, it looks as If your desire for
hash had not been gratified; carrying
your mouth to the food, instead Of
the food to your mouth, indicates an
acquaintance with cbopsticks or some
thing worse; taking chicken and
other bones in your fingers is uncouth,
and might imply ignorance of the use
Of knives and forks; loud talking or
mysterious whispered = conversation
are both in bad taste for obvious rea-
sons; discussion of distempers. med
zeal treatment, etc., Is trenching on
dangerous ground; avoid sneezing by
pressing your finger against your up
per lip, under the nose; keep your
elbows at your sides and your hands
in your lap when you are not eating,
and do not lounge in any way or tip
back your chair. Many other points
of etiquette must be learned by Oh
servation, - Good Housekeeping.

Baptism With Scenic Effects.

The congregation was large, and the
services were unusually impressive.
After the discourse the stage setting
was prepared for the candidates for
baptism. When the scenery in front
was drawn back beautiful sight pre-
sented itself. The scenery had been
so arranged as to form charming
woodland scene; the pool was placed
in the center of the stage, and was sur
rounded by flowers and rocks, which
formed n rustic spot; the background
was so arranged that the effect was as
pleasing as it was novel. Rev. Mr..
Purser advanced and baptized Mrs. S.
c. Moore, Miss Mary Slade and Mr..
NJ. p. Lewis. When the ceremony
was finished the choir sang. "In the
Sweet By and Bye" in a manner that
touched the whole congregation. =

Of 20 years, the prices paid by the government
were cxorbltant The question was submitted
TO the attorney general as to whether the gov
crument was bound by the leases in such
cases In his opinion the attorney general
held that In the absence Of express authority
conferred by act Of cOngrcs, the postmaster
general had no right TO make a lease for any
period beyond the time for which the appro.
prIalion was made. Under this decision Post
master General Villas feels that the leases are
not obligatory upon the government, and pro-

In answer to this question, recently

fancy lightly turns to thoughts of
gardening, and my fancy has an annual
turning in this direction, for about
two weeks per annual. When my
fancy first began to take these annual
turns it was more ambitious than it
has been in. later years. 1t coveted a
garden an acre wide and long, and
devourcd seed-catalogucs by the score.
There wasn't root, vegetable, or
fruit, from a rank horse-radish to the
most delicate strawberry, that it did
not aspire TO have served on the home
table fresh from the garden. Gradu.
ally this fancy has been checking its
latitude until this season it has con.
tented itself with an eight by twelve

anticipates successfully nursing uuti

gardening is largely matter of habit
If trained TO it from early youth 1t Is

Statistics ahOnt Insanity.

Twenty years ago the number of in
sane persons in the United States was
only 24,042. In 1870 it reached 81, 432,
and in 1880 treatment was required
for 1880 lunatics. From 1870 to
1880 the increase of insanity was near
ly 150 per cent, while that of the to tai
population was about SO. The pro-
portion of the insane is greatest in
New England, while the increase has
been most rapid in the Western States.
In the State Of New York there are
thirty-iive institutions for the care OF
these unfortunate people, accommoda-
ting ll,343 patients, while it is said
there are 1000 provided for at home.
In America, apart from several large
county asylums, there are eighty
