Manners in Children.
Ii we desire children to be courteous
we must treat them with respect, says
Elizabeth Scovil, in the Ladies' Home
Journal. They will infallibly copy
our manners, SO we must take care
that they are the best. Let us be as
careful of their feelings as we wish
them to be of those of others. When
it is necessary to administer reproof,
let it be given in private. Many
children are very sensitive on this
point, and they feel acutely, although
they cannot put their emotions with
words. To tell a child in public that
it has been rude or lacking in good
breeding, Is as unwarrantable as it
would be to tell a guest SO. 1t is no ex-
cuse to say that we are trying TO
teach it to do better; we a do this
with greater effect ii we take it asid @
at the first convenient moment and
gently point out where the error was,
and nat should be done the next
time,
The Art of Conversation.
The art of conversation consists in
the exercise of two fine qualities. You
must originate, and you must sympa-
thize-you must possess at the same
time the habit of communicating and
listening. The union is rare, but ire
sistible, says a writer in the Jepness-
Miller Quarterly.
The quality of turning men into
ridicule, and exposing those we con-
verse with, is the qualification of lit
tie, ungenerous tempers. The great
est blemishes are often found in the
most shining characters; but what an
absurd thing it is to pass over all the
valuable parts of a man and fix our
attention upon his infirmities-to dis
cern his imperfections more than his
virtues!
The good conversationalist is doubt
less a most agreeable man; and, be-
You'd peradventure, a mar who can't
talk at all has no business in society;
but one should not speak before he
has time to think, and to say what is
consistent. The vain, improbable
talker, who is never sound or sincere
in anything that he says, is a greater
bore to any social circle than the mar
who says nothing at all. The former
helps to corrupt understanding and
pervert judgment, especially if he has
a frothy, clever, easy style; while the.
latter is merely harmless and unlnter-
esting.
1t Might Have Been u Hint.
II like candid girls remarked Fitz-
percy to his friend. Some girls are
double faced, doncher know"
That's true" replied young Din
widdie. "Theyll be as good as pie to
you when you are with them, but will
laugh at you behind your back"
Yes, and even talk of a fellah anG
make fun of him to their friends"
"All girls are not like that, though"
Amy Gaswell. One thing l like abou,
her is that she is so outspoken.
There's no beating about the bust
with her. She never hints"
'.I'm vewy glad to hear that, >
added Fitzpercy, eagerly. "She never
hints at anything, doesn't she?"
"Never."
"I'm glad of that, doncher know,
because something happened the
last evening | called on her, which |
thought might have been intende,
for a hint, but it welieves my mind
t O learn that she nevah does such Ii
thing"
What vas it that ~happened?"
We'll, you see, it was neahly twelve,
and VIZ were talking about push and
enterprise and thai sort OF thing, ano
Miss Amy wemarked, Il do SO like Il
man with some go to him. and just as
she said so sine looked at the clock.
L didn't think anything of it at thu
time, but it stwuck me since that pos
sibly she intended it as a hint; but |
am glad to be welieved of such doubts,
doncher know"
did you leave at that timer
"Oh, no; | staid an hour or so
longer, and didn't leave until she hau
yawned two or three times, and |
Thought perhaps she was sleepy.
Then | had sone Consideration fol
her and went home."-Pittsburg

French beauties.
France, says the Gaulois, has a rev.
olutlon every fifteen or twenty years,
SO the beauties can be classed by
regime. Each group has it's distin-
guished type. The First Empire
beauty was divinely tall and classic
in her feature and bearing, and a
wee bit sentimental. That of the
Restoration was less in inches and
greater in girth, though slender OF
waist. She was simple and unpre-
tending, with, withal, the SAVIOR
vivre of education and nobility OF
race.
Eugene Louis has immortalized the
beauty OF the monarchy OF July.
She, too, was graceful and elegant,
but more modern. Who has not read
in the annals OF the citizen king of
the Duchess de Dino. the Marquise
de Talleyran -Perigord, n OF the
most famous of court beauties. Her
rivals were the Princesse de Liebea,
the Princess Belgiojos, Baronne de
Vatry, Duchesses de Dalmatie and de
Fitz James, who used to call herself
Queen of England harmless usurpa-
tlon-the Countesses Leon and de la
Redorte. There still survives
