lay it in the saucer.
Do not wait on yourself before
older people or any guests, who may
he present, are served.
Do not shove the dishes along the
table, but take them up carefully and
pass them.
Do not use your napkin for pocket
handkerchief or the back of your
hand for napkin.
Do not use your knife to convey
food to your mouth; that marks you
as from the backwoods at once.
Do net leave the table before the
conclusion of the meal, without ask
ing to be excused.
Do not monopolize all the CONVEX
sation with talk about the crops il
you are farmer, or about the jelly

Farm Proverbs.

Use diligence, integrity and proper
improvement of time to make farm
ing pay. Do not have more live
stock than you can keep well. House
all things as much as possible-ani-
mails, utensils and crops. When you
are offered a fair price for your pro-
duce do not store it for rats and spec
ulators. The more comfortable you
can keep your animals the more they
will thrive. A good cow is valua-
BILE machine; the more food she can
properly digest the greater the profit.
A few roots daily to all the stock are
as welcome as apples to boys and
girls. Iron shoes on sleds last life
time and are cheaper in the end than
wooden ones. Replace the bars where
you often pass by strong gates, and
then wonder that you did not do so
before. Although in draining land
thoroughly your purse may be drained,
yet the full crops that follow will
soon fill it again. Always give the
soil the first meal; il it is well fed
with manure it will feed all else
plants, animals and men. A Dor
rowed tool IL broken should be re-
placed by a new one. A sense OF
honor in such matters is much to be
commended.

care or rarm Anlmal..

The most practical and valuable In
formation that can be brought to the
intelligently practical farmer is that
which relates to the care and man
agement of farm animals. But few
farmers have any solid data of facts to
draw upon derived from their own
experience. TO know just exactly
which costs the most to produce, a
pound of mutton or pound OF beef
or a pound Of pork is something not
more than one farmer in thousand
can tell, for the 900 never keep ex-
act records. All of them can guess
at it, may be, quite closely, but it is
guess work after all. To be sure they
put their money up on their guess
work, and embark in mutton feeding,
beef feeding, or pork feeding, and
many say they ought to know all
about it as long as they are in the
business. 1t is true they ought and
they would know if they did not have
such an universal contempt for keep
ing exact records. Here is
where the English and Scotch
farmer excells his American cousin.
He is trained in the art Of keeping
books and records. He is not consid-
cred good safe farmer unless he can
show what thing costs. That is
just as great an advantage to the
earnest thinking farmer as it is to the
manufacturer. The dollars the farmer
is to earn runs the gauntlet Of ill-luck
and accident to as great an extent as
the manufacturers dollars. He
should not be loaded down with an
extra per cent. OF carlessness and in
difference to sound rules Of business
procedure.

In reply to a question how much a
silo should cost, it is told in bulletin
issued from the New Hampshire
Station that the day of costly silos Is
past, and It is this fact alone which
enables the rapid extension of this
system of storage. A wooden silo
keeps its contents with less loss than
a stone or cementone, chiefly because
of the penetration OF air through
mortar and cement. A silo built in
dependent of the barn, having its
own frame, roof, etc, can be built
for 81 per ton of capacity, IL above

Derivation of Caucus.

AS the rise and fall Of the nations Of
antiquity may be traced by the study Of
comparative philology, 50 the history OF
any art or industry is reflected in that
science, and the number of words which
are contributed by a given profession
may, to certain extent, be taken as a
measure of its Importance Thus the
most influential guild of colonial times
was the ship calkers OF Boston. In
those days a meeting Of the calkers was
usually held to decide upon political or
other questions and was called "calk-
ers," hence our Unlocking word
caucus"

THE HONEYMOON AT SEA.

How the Romance Is Soon Taken Out of
the Poetic Season.
A little conversation overheard one
evening by writer In the London Hos
pital seems TO indicate that sea voyage
Is not always the happiest way Of spend
ing ones honeymoon: Darling, are
you better?" says first turtle dove. "No,
dearest, worsei What is the use Of hav-
ing doctor on board who can not cure
seasichness, darling?" A significant
pause. 'It is absurd" says the first
turtle dove again. "But how foolish of
you not TO spend our honeymoon on
shore, dearest am sure we shall
never enjoy II here" Those people
who may be unfortunate enough TO
have taken 10 artificial teeth should use
exceeding circumspection when they go
down TO the sea in ships. "What q
splendid dentist seasiclkness is. had
the whole Of my teeth pulled out at one
vcmit," said patient 10 the doctor one
morning. Several dentists have stated
that II is by no means an uncommon oc-
currence OF persons TO finish a voyage
In practically toothless condition.
DIR. Dutton is inclined TO think that
seasiclsness is in many cases nothing
more than righteous retribution fol-
lowing hard upon physiological sins.
"a young man." he says, 'is about to
go abroad. He, of course, must see

necessary and lands on board suffering

gestion Of the liver and Just In the

recornpense. The consequence Is that
instead Of having an enjoyable and
healthful passage he has most miser-
able one, and II takes him the whole

They did not lie long at st. Louis,
only time enough to properly equip
themselves for the field and take a few
more doses Of drill, SO nauseating to
james Lawson, who was getting sicker
and sicker Of military life. Then, hey
for the 'front.' With one broad sweep
across Missouri, they went into camp
OF Kansas City--then an insignificant
border town with little promise of its
future prosperity.
Frank had been unable to make any
personal inquiries about the Lascelles
before he left st, Louis, as ''leave" had
been peremptorily refused to all private
soldiers, but Charles Fulton had man
agedlto visit their house, which, how
ever, he found deserted, while the only
information he could CLEAN in the neigh
borhood was that the ladies and their
household had gone South--where, the
informant could not or would not, tell
him. This was disappointing TO both
the lads, for, to tell the truth, the fair
Southerner's brilliant charms had set
their imaginations aflame.
For three weeks they lay in Kansas
City, each day expecting the order to
march.
1t was here that young Besant re-
ceived his FIRST letter from home-a
joint composition of his mother and
Grace Brentwood, which went far to
dispel the giamor Of Mary Lascelles'
destinations. What old soldier does not
remember mothers first words TO him
In the battlefield tender messages
OF affection-the garrulous records of
home events, so insignificant, yet so
dear to him-the gossip about neigh
bors, for whom he cared not one lot
while he lived near them, but who now
seemed woven into his life with re-
newed interest-the silly, but womanly
admonitions to take care Of himself, as
though her darling's primary duty was
to run behind tree as soon as he heard
the hiss Of rife-bullet-the warnings
against damp socks and bad compan-
ions-the prayers-the little stains on
the paper he knew too well were tears
--and the mute misery which would
show itself despite its strained air Of
cheerfulness.
All this Frank appreciated to the
full, and It did him good to sit down
and write to those loving women at
home long rambling record Of his ad-
ventures by flood and field, though,
strange to say, he forgot to tell them
any thing whatever about Mary Las
celles and her perfections, which was
inexcusable when we consider that up
TO that time he had hardly thought of
any thing else.
This budget Of home news warmed
his heart so that he thought he would
share his qualification with James Law
son, who, he guessed, had no kind
friend TO keep him posted on the doings
Of Meltonburg, but to his surprise he
found that worthy young man sitting
on the tongue of an empty baggage
wagon with a corn-cob pipe In his
mouth, leisurely perusing letter
which, judging from its bulk, contained
twice the matter Of his own, while
heavy roll of Meltonburg Weekly Ad-
vertisers lay at his feet.
