Cheerful Talk at Table,

1t is not enough that at the table
nobody should be glum and silent,
and nobody disobliging and cross.
Neither is it quite enough that
everybody has come to their place
with suitable freshening of face,
hands, hair aud dress. The grow
ing lad, with his hungry appetite,
sometimes claims that mother ls
over fastidious when she insists on
a nice toilet for the dinner table
and is resolute that traces OF out
door work shall be removed, but be
will thank her for her care in years
to come. So, too, will his wife; for
mother should never forget that 1t
is she who must train her boy to
be a good husband, conslde-ate
and thoughtful in little things. we
ought to bring to the table some
pleasant topic about which to talk.
Not occurrences In the neighbor-
hood merely, although a kindly in
terest IN our neighbors and sincere
pleasure in their good fortune, is
not gossip, not reprehensibIe. In
the daily journal or the weekly are
found the history of current events
the world over. Everybody reads
the papers. The few, comparative
IL, make their fresh news the pivot
on which to start on Investigations
in the encyclopedias or tours across
the map. Yesterdays sermon, next
weeks Sunday-school lesson, the
latest invention, the most recent
discovery, the book which you are
reading aloud IN the evening"
should serve as beginnings FOR
agreeable talk at the table. DO
not enforce silence on the children.
They should never interrupt thelr
elders, but they should be encour,
aged to bear their part intelligent
ly and moderately in the talk al
the family meal.

Queer BarOmeters.

81 can always telf when 1t Is 60
ing to rain half a day ahead OF any
change In fair weather" said Cham
pion George SlOsson as he was
knocking around billiard balls in
the Columbia rooms just after the
recent deluge.
"How's that" asked bystand-
or, getting interested directly.
"Why, there isn't a better ba-
rometer IN existence than an ivory
billiard ball or a billiard cue" the
billiard expert replied; "they are
better than a favorite corn"
elbow dye tell 7"
"a ball always rolls slow and
with difficulty over the cloth when
it is gong to rain. Ivory Is so
sensitive to changes of temperature
particularly from dry to moist, that
the effect is felt almost instaDta-
neously. The cue will get cranky,
too, when there Is going to be a
change, long before the dampness
is perceptlbIe in any other way
Another popularity OF the ivory
globes is their tendency to become
egg.shsped. They contract at
what are called the top and bottom
poles and swell out at the sides,

potatoes, il you don't watch theiI
| idiosyHcransies. They are worse
than old men in their susceptl0lli'
| ty to draught. A draught will
crack the ivory and make it chip
off quick as a wink, and, like OLD
folks, you can never get the
spheres acclimated to these
draughts. Just take a billiard bal
and study its behavior and you car
beat the clerk of the weather
prophesying. You can bet on your
own prophecy every time"

VICES OF POULTRY.


Two difhculties-egg eating and
feather puIling-are met with, and
being the result of habit, which is
ACQUIRED, can not easily be reme-
died. AS soon as hen learns to
eat eggs she teaches the vice to the
others. TO prevent the vice IS
difficult, unless specially contrlved
nests are arranged, or unless the
hen is so situated that she can not
we'll reach the eggs. To prevent
the vice, make the nests dark. or
put them IN a dark place. The
nest should have top, so as to
compel the hen to walk IN, instead
of jumping on 1t 1t should De
high enough off the floor and eat
ing out of the box, and the opening
of the box should face the wall,
instead of the light, so as to have
the nest dark. 10 make SUCH a
nest, take a sosp-box aud knock
of the front, leaving the boards on
the top. bottom, sides and back
end. At the opening of the nest,
nail on a strip Cat the bottom) three
inches high, to prevent the hen
from rolling the eggs out. The
floor of the box should be severa
inches off the floor, which with
the strip in 'front.' will bring the
opening to the nest ten inches
from the floor OF the room. The
hen will fly up to the opening, lay
her egg and come of, as she VIII
not have room to eat the egg while
she is on the nest, and must come
off, in which case she can not reach
it from the floor. The nest'box
should be only large enough to ac-
commodate the hen.-Fdrm ana

I0WA'S WONDERFUL LAKE.
NOBODY KNOWS WHO BUILT THE
WALLS THAT ENCLOSE 1T.

NOBODY KNOWS WHO BUILT THE
WALLS THAT ENCLOSE 1T.
The greatest wonder In the state
Of Iowa, and perhaps in any state,
il what is called the "Walled
LAKE." in Wright county, twelve
miles north Of the Dubuque 81 Pa.
clfc railway, and $50 miles west
of Dubuque city. This lake is
from two to three feet higher than
tho earth's surface. In some places
the wall Is ten feet high, fifteen
feet wide at the bottom, and FIVE
feet wide on top. The stones used
IN its construction vary in weight
from three tons down to hundred
pounds. There is an abundance OF
stones in Wright county, but sur.
rounding the lake to the extent Of
Ave or ten miles there are none.
No one can form an idea as to the
means employed to bring them
to the spot or who constructed l..
Around the entire lake Is belt of
woodland One.half mile IN width,
composed of oak. With this ex-
ception the country is a rolling
prairie. The trees must have been
planted there at the time of the
building of the wall. In the spring
of the year 1856 there was q great
storm, and the ice on the lake
broke the wall in several places,
and the farmers in the vicinity
were compelled to repair the dam
ages to prevent inundation. The
lake occupies a grand surface OF
$500 acres; depth OF water as
great as % feet. The water Is
clear and cool, soil sandy and
loamy. 1t ls singular that no one
has been able to ascertain where
the water comes from or where 1t
goes, yet it is always clear and

A SURPRISED JOKER.

A laughable but rather embar'
RAISING case Of mistaken identity
occurred the other day In one OF
Boston's largest retail stores. A
gentleman who is a little too fond
of Joking entered the store for the
purpose of meeting his wife at q
certain counter. Sure enough,
there stood a lady dressed, TO his
eye at least, Just like the woman he
was after.
Her back was turned aud no one
was near her; so he quietly ap'
preached, took her by the arm,
and said. in "A voice of simulated
severity:
"Well, here you are, spending
ny money as usual, eh ~
The face turned quickly toward
him was not his wiie's; 1t was that
of an acrid, angry, ksen-eyed Wo'
man of about 80 years, who attract
ed the attention by saying, in a
loud, shrll voice
"No, amt spending your money
nor no other mans money, and
ZIP
81 beg your pardon, madam"
cried the confused gentleman. III

"Well, 1 just amt your wife, nor
no other mans wife, thank fortune
