Good Manners at Home.

The presence of good manners is mo-
where moro needed or moro effective
than in the household, and perhaps no
whcrc moro rare. Whenever the ia
miliarity exists there is tendency to
loosen the check upon selfish conduct
which the presence of strangers involun-
taiily produces. Many persons who are
kind and courteous in company are
rude and careless with those whom they
love best. Emerson says, Good man.
ncrs are made mp of pretty sacrifices" !"
and certainly nothing can more thor
oughly secure the harmony and peace OF
the family circle than the habit Of max
ing small sacrifices one for another.
Children thus learn good manners in
the best and most natural way, and
habits thus acquired will never leave
them Courtesy and kindness will never
lose their power or their charm, while
MI spurious limitations of them are to

A celebrated German physician was
once called upon TO treat an aristocratic
lady, the sole cause Of whose complaint
was high living and lack of exercise.
But it would never do TO tell her so, 80
his medical advice ran thus: "Arise at 3
o'clock, take "A walk in the park for one
hour, then drink a cup of tea, then walk
another hour and take a cup Of choco-
late. Take breakfast at s."
Her condition improved visibly, until
one fine morning the carriage of the bar
oness was seen 10 approach the physi-
clans residence at lightning speed. The
patient dashed mp to the doctors Office,
and on his appearing on the scene she

patient complied, She is still improv-
