A Lesson in Manners.

That the manners of our fathers is not
ours is well enough understood, and the
phrase ''of the old school, has come to
be used rather as a reproach to the de-
generate present generation. An old
lady who belonged to the times when
courtesy was perhaps more general, as it
certainly was more elaborate, than it is
now, administered rather neatly rebuke
to lad who did not come up to her ideas
She had known the boys father when
he was in Harvard, as now was the son,
and as the latter could hardly remember
his parents, who died in his infancy, he
was always eager to learn all he could
about them.
The youth was invited to call upon the
old lady, who is now beyond the term set
by the Psalmist for mans life, at coun-
try place one day last summer, and had
an interview with her upon the wide
veranda, where she was sitting when he
arrived. He lifted his hat, and then, re-
placing it upon his head, went on talk
ing with the old dame, who regarded
him with looks of disapproyal.
''Do look like my father?" the young
man asked at length.
81 cannot tell" the old lady replied,
dryly. 81 never saw him with his hat
on when he talked with a lady. Youths

CURED HEkSEIF AND HER CHILD
 s. s. s. has relieved me of terrible scrof- ula, from which I have suffered for years. It affected my nose first as catarrh, then car ried of the bone, and continued to eat until it destroyed the soft bone in the right side of the nose, then went to my throat, and later on to my lungs, and it looked as if I was doomed. s. s. s. has cured me, and has also cured my little daughter of the same disease.

last village, plunge down that long hill and we are at the Hayward House, whose genial welcome destroys the discomfort of travel, and whose tables are the just pride of ''mine host.".
 Here the night is passed, and the mor- row, after hurried preparations, witnesses the expectant departure of the party for lake and forest home. Three quarters of Q mile bring us to the shores of Chain Lakes. The ladies come by ssbuck kboard, !" the men on foot. Forest dress is donned. moccasins and rubber boots grace the feet, rods and rifles fill the hands, and expecta- ti0ns fills ell hearts. The weather has changed to sunny May. All are waiting for the muaic of the oars that are to escort them to their sylvan retreat. As we wait by the silver waters arms of steel are trans porting baggage. and soon our turn will come. There, Irving, the cook, pulls into sight, and soon his capacious boat is chaf- ing the shore for it's living freightage. Step in, ladies. Just look at them, as the boatman takes his place aud prepares to fly over the yielding waters. One is hold ing her faithful gun. one is holding on to the sides of the boat, and one is holding on to s.grasshopper." The men must ''pad- de their own canoe," SO step in and try your wings. Guess they are made of iron, and were some of Vulcan's first attempts Never mind take in the scenery as you leisurely pull up the enchanting lakes First the waters are only broad and me- andering stream. Then they enlarge to the wide and rock-b bound shore. One lake is passed, and stream scarcely deep and broad enough to float the boat introduces us to another sheet of expanded beauty and sublimity. Doubtless the deer are watching as we glide over the shimmering surface, but we reserve our compliments for more befitting occasion. Turn the bow to the shore. We have reached home at last. Three cheers for the Washburn camp and the cups of sinless pleasure that shall greet us there.

 Nothing is worth thought until the food question is disposed of. You need not all look 80 coy lover empty plates. Ask the attentive swaitersl fer another plate of meat and a few more biscuits. There is no law under heaven against satisfying the demands of hunger. Besides, twenty one miles are before us, and the air is crisp. Then eating is to be our chief oc- cupation for the next four weeks, and it is high time to go into training. Do you suppose they keep anything stronger than coffee in this establishment !? Guess not. But something smells very suspiciously. Isn't 1t the driver who mounts his seat as if to that ''manor born"? Drive away as quickly as possible and see if we cannot leave the vile odor in the. rear. In that hideous scent are brain-rof, heart-rot, hand-rot. No, the morbid savour wishes to go on forest trip, but the entire party vote him out. There he Is in the shape of a broken bottle. But even the husk is not to be endured.

One of the party, only ga few miles from Ma:hias, dis covers abuck, with doe and fawn. O deer, Unstrap 1t quickly Throw off the case 1!
