Cultivating Conversation.

From Good Housekeeping.
Proper home conversation is an essential element
of education. Perhaps at the family table is the
best place to commence this education Three
times u day the different members of the family
come together in our American homes In English
families it is quite the custom to form plans for the
day in the break asst room, ard possibly all the
family do not meet again till the late dinner at
night 1t is the growing custom among ourselves,
however have the late dinner hour, and thus the
family sit longer at tie table, and, by of the
presence of butler or waitress, obliged to be cir
cumspect in behavior and speech. We also advo-
cate having the children at the family table early
as possible; they are help and stimulus to their
elders in the matter of table etiquette But chill
dren are not admitted to the diningroom as early
as in the oden days. and then taught, first that
schidren should be seen and not heard" We too
often forget that their very acute, and we
are surprised at times by an intelligent inquiry on
the topic under discussion; if it be worthy one the
child should be encouraged in its desire for infor-
nation Often "to be seen and not heard" involves
the taking in of large draughts of that which had
better never have been heard at oil by any one
The dinner hour especially when at night,
should be the occasion of cultivating good habits of
conversation in the younger members OF tie family.
AS children grow older and are made to feel GER
tain responsibility in sustaining conversation and
the entertainment of guests, they become easy and
graceful in the art. There apt to be few aW k
ward moments before the dinner is announced if
we have invited guests. Happy would it be if by
auy cultivation, we could arrive at the position
described by Milton: with thee conversing, for
get all time"
1t is desirable 10 cultivate a habit of observation
as a help to conversation. The daily, momentaiy
contact with other minds helps to stimulate and
strengthen cur own; and all pleasant anecdotes and
incidents OF persons and things, or bright news
paper item, are helpful.

She Had Ammonia in the Leg.

From the Boston Transcript.
TIE other day small 10y appeared at school after
