Halls Eyes Opened.

"N0, Daisy. You cannot have my
roller skates. So there!"
Il mean when you don't want them
Hallie," and Daisy's blue eyes pleaded
anXiously as she looked at Halle.
"( want to clean them WI eneve1
Pm done with them, and hang them
up in the bag Aunt Alice is making
for me-"
"You might let me have them just a
few minutes, Halle"
"You don't know how to use them."
81 could learn. Please, Halle, just
let he try. know l could learn"
Learn on your own, then," answer
ed Hal, Grossly, as he walked away,
muttering, II earned the skates with
my own money. Pm not going to let
Daisy spoil them"
He did not see Aunt Alice on the
stoop.
Halle Brown was not an ugly boy,
but he was inclined to be selfish. He
would have been very indignant il
any one had told him he made his
cousin, Daisy Holt, unhappy. He
really loved her; but she was so gen.
! tie that she did not resent many of the
ungenerous, ungracious things he did.
When Halle left Daisy she walked
slowly home with a very sorrowful
heart. She could not understand how
Halle could refuse so small favor.
She could not conceive of refusing
Halle any enjoyment that depended
on loaning anything she possessed.
After tea he sat in the sitting.room
with the family, when he suddenly
thought of a new illustrated set of lrv-
ing that Aunt Alice had received at
Christmas. He said '"This is free
evening, Aunt Alice; may l have
your Irving to look at?
"No, Hal. Tve made up my mind
to be very careful of my Irving, and
keep it in the box when Pm not using
it,"
A surprised, angry look came into
Halls face. Aunt Alice, sweet Aunt
Alice, had never refused him any
thing before. Daisy, who had come in
with her mamma, was as much sur
prised and puzzled as Hal was.
No one else seemed to notice Aunt
Alice's answer but the children. Hal
took down Bancroft from the shelves,
but he could not interest himself. or
overcome the unpleasant effect Of the
refusal of his simple request.
"pll sharpen up my new pencils,
and have them ready for Monday" he
thought. ''Papa's knife is sharper
than mine I'll borrow it.
"papa," he said, aloud, "please lend
me your knife; [ want to sharpen my
new pencils"
"No! I've made up my mind not to
lend my knife. When Pm done us,
ing it, am going to wipe it off, and
keep it in my pocket. No, | cannot
lend my knife; earn one yourself"
Papa ~ and Hal almost burst into
tears. Never in his life had he receiv-
ed such an answer from his father
Hurt, mortified, and angry, he buried
his face in his hands for some minutes.
A soft, gentle touch reused him, and
Daisy said: "Hallie, brought over
my new game. Don't you want to see
| :"
He looked at the gentle little girl,
whose face was full of sympathy.
Just beyond was his fathers, full of
reproach, and Aunt Alice's, sorrowful,
and saying so plainly, "Do you de-
serve her kindness"
A blush covered Halls face rs he re-
membered the scene Of the afternoon,
and his refusal to grant Il favor to the
little girl who was always SO ready to
share every pleasure, every gift. The
lesson was not forgotten.

CARE OF HoRsEs.-In keeping q
horse there is as much in the driver as
in the feed, sensibly observes a writer
on the subject. A horse we'll curried,
and rubbed with a woolen rag after
ward, is sure to make a sleek-coated
horse, and when well-groomed is, we
may say, half-fed. A cross and ner-
vous driver will fill the horse with fear
and dread, and will rapidly run his
horse down. Use your animal kindly.
Always be firm and make it mind, but
never get excited. A cool.headed
driver makes a long-headed horse.

\ GIRLS TEMpTATION.-This is
how she told Of it herself:
"I've begun to find such little, mean
streaks in myself that Pm quite fright
ened. Guess what I was tempted to
do the other day! 1 was washing the
dishes for mamma, and when / got to
the tins and kettles L was discouraged.
They looked SO greasy and black, and
I've always been little vain of my
hands.
II am going to Kitty Merrill's party
tonight, and [ want to keep my hands
nice for that. I'll leave these for MANI
ma; it won't make any difference
with her hands, because she can't keep
them nice.
"Then something seemed to say to
me, oh, you little coward. Oh, you
little sneak TO be willing to have
whittier hands than your mother
Arn't you ashamed" l was ashamed,
and washed the kettles pretty hum
bly,, I can tell you. / felt as if they
weren't half SO black as |. Since then
have watched all my thoughts, for
fear I shall grow so wicked mamma
won't know me- | have learned thor
oughly what the minister means when
he talks about the little foxes that
spoil the grapes of fine character"

A good story is told by the Rev. G.
r. Rice, pastor of the First Church,
Independence, Kan. Several years
ago the Rev. B. f. Crary, d. D., then
presiding elder in Colorado, visited
Mr.. Rice's family at Emporia, Kansas.
Being very deaf he constantly used a
large ear-trumpet, in appearance like a
large pipe. Mr.. Rice's three-year-old
boy, after, making his acquaintance,
went into his mothers room, and eX-
pressed his surprise by saying:
"Ma, that grandpa smokes his pipe
aUith his car"

MANNERs.-I make it point OF
morality never to find fault with an
other for his manners. They may be
awkward or graceful, blunt or polite,
polished or rustic, | care not what
they are, if the man means well and
acts from honest intentions, without
eccentricity or aflectation. All men
have not the advantages of 'good-so-
ciety," us it is called, to school them
selves in all it's fantastic rules and GER
emonies and if there is any standard
of manners, it is founded on reason
and good sense. and not upon these ar
titical regulations. Manners, like
conversation, should be eXtemporane-
Gus and not studied. l always sus-
pect u man that meets me with the
same perpetual smile on his face, the
same bending Of the body and the
same premeditated shake Of the hand.
Give me the hearty-it may be rough
grip of the hand, the careless nod of
recognition, and. when occasion re-
quires, the homely but welcome salu-
tation, "How are you old friend ?"

DINING WITH VICTORIA.
The Highest Social Honor In England
is Very Dull Affair.

is u Very Dull Affair.
From the Lady
Dining with the queen is great honor. OF
course, full court dress must be worn BY the
ladies; the gentlemen either wear their court
dress or the Windsor uniform, which is really
an ordinary dress coat, faced and cuffed with
red silk and adorned with gilt buttons instead
Of the ordinary black ones.
The guests assemble beforehand in wait
ing room-at Bamoral this il called the ante
room, but at Windsor the grand corridor is
used for this purpose. They range themselves
in two rows, the ladies on one side and the
gentlemen on the other, and the persons of
highest rank are placed furthest from the door
at which the queen will enter. About O'Clock
the queen appears. and when she has received
the salutatlons OF her guests she passes down
between the two rows to the door OF the state
dining room and goes straight i'll to dinner.
Tho guests join in couples and follow her
during dinner there is very little talking
The guests converse among themselves in
Whispers, Tor 1t Is not according to etiquette
to speak loud. From time to time the queen
speaks to some one of her guests; but as it
Is not proper to disagree with her there is
naturally not very much done In the way
OF conversation between her majesty and her
subjects. Dinner usually lasts for an hour or
so, after which the whole party adjourns to the
drawing room. Here the queen makes a few
remarks to each guest in turn, which the lat
ter reply to suitably and without the smallest
trace OF originality.
This ended. the queen returns to her pri-
vate apartments, and the dinner party is
ended. 1t must be added, however, that dull
these entertainments are there il not a
single person who would seriously wish never
to be present at one, for an invitation to dine
at one of the royal palaces with the queen is
the highest social honor that can be conferred
on q subject.

Imagined Cleveland to BE His Rival

Miss Gladys Price was shot through the left
lung last evening by Jno. T. Davis aud now lies
in New York hospital in a critical condition.
Miss Price is the organist at the Mariners Tenn
pie, corner of Madison and Catherine streets,
New York, and was just leaving the building
after the evening services when Davis shot her.
Davis is a lunatic of the most pronounced char
acter. He has at times followed the sea for q
living and lately has frequented the reading
room in the basement Of the Mariners Temple.
Davis was at once arrested. At the station
house he declared that Miss Price was his wife,
though the girl AYERS that she never spoke to
him. He also declared that Grover Cleveland
was continually following her. He had chal-
lenged Cleveland to fight duel and tonight
saw him in the church sitting BY the side OF
MISS Price. He said his object was to kill her
and then kin Cleveland, who had led her away
from him. Davis expressed no regret at hil
act, except to say he was sorry he did not kill
Mr.. Cleveland, which he declared be would
yet do.
