Parental Pride Justified.

Sir Thomas Lawrence was one of the
great portrait painters in England. His
parents were poor, his father being a
country innkeeper. One day Lord
Shaftesbury's father and mother stopped
at the inn, having their younger son, the
future lord, with them. In conversation
the innkeeper spoke of the genius of his
boy in drawing and wished them to test
it by picture of their son. They as
sented, thinking to crafty a fathers
pride, but not looking for any evidence
of superior talent.
The boy came in modestly, with chalk
and paper, and in few minutes had
drawn picture of their son, on which
the parents looked with wonder. They
recognized the genius and the promise Of
future greatness, and befriended the
young artist, giving him the help needed
to develop his wonderful gift.-[New

Behavior at Table.

Keep your mouth closed when eating
Never play with food, nor mince your
bread, nor handle your knife and fork or
the glass or silver near you unnecessar-
lily. If a fishbone, etc., should mad
vertently get into the mouth, the lips
must be covered with the napkin while
removing it. Never pick your teeth at
the table. Do not put large pieces of
food in your mouth; if you are addressed
when your mouth is so filed, you are
obliged to pause before answering until
the vast mouthful is masticated, or run
the risk of choking by swallowing it too
hastily. To eat very fast is mark of
greediness, and should be avoided.
Never soak up gravy with bread or
scrape your plate. Never, if possible,
cough or sneeze at the table. Do not
lean back in your chair.
The hostess or host should not insist
upon guests partaking of particular
dishes, nor ask persons more than once,
nor put anything on their plates which
they have declined. 1t is i'll bred to urge
person to eSt anything after he has de-
clined. A half ladleful Of soup is enough
to serve, unless it is a country dinner,
where full ladleful may be given; but
do not fill the soup plate. Avoid the
appearance of self engrossment when
eating, unless you wish to be considered
entirely devoted to your food. Never
overload the plate of a guest or any
person you would serve. If you are to
serve ANYTHING of which the SUNNY is
limited, use discretion that all may en-
joy some of it.-Mrs s. Fl. Snider in
Housekeepers' Weekly.

Over $500 People Made Homeless,

Delegate Lunda writes from Peralta re-
garding the floods in the Rio Grande.
He says: rThe river continues to do a
great deal of harm, and the Lord only
knows what is to become of us at Pc
ralta. We are threatened in three places
and it keeps us working day and night
to save ourselves So far we have been
able to do SO, but am very much afraid
that the worst is yet to come. 1t is
water, water everywhere, and it is most
pitiful to see women and children pray
ing hourly for the flood to recede, while
the men are working with shoyels. The
worst of it is we have no place to move
to. We cannot cross the Los Lunas,
and there are no vacant houses at Lam
dra. From the above facts it is esti-
mated that $500 people have been made
homeless by the Rio Grande foods.

Properties of Aluminium.

Before dealing with the many proc
esses now in the field for the cheap pro-
duction of aluminium, we may briefly
glance at the properties and special char
acteristics of the metal under considera-
ton. Aluminium has a white silver like
appearance, is both naalleable and ductile,
and from its sonorous properties is much
used in the manufacture of bells. An
exceedingly important feature is its
lightness, q property which favors its
employment for many special purposes.
Aluminium has a specific gravity of only
2.56 that is, is two and half times as
heavy as water. and is four times lighter
than silver.
Heat and electricity are conducted by
aluminium as well as by silver, while it
does not oxidize in air even at red heat,
has no action on water at ordinary tenn
perature, and preserves its luster where
silver would tarnish, beng thus specially
remarkable as the liglftest metal capable
Of resisting the action of air even in the
presence of moisture Chambers Jour
