ChlIdvens Table Manners.

One of the first lessons of a child al
the table should be to take liquids
noiselessly from the side of the
spoon, writes Elisabeth Robinson
Scovil in the FEBRUARY Ldd'es' Homt
| Journai. This does not seem to be
an easy accomplishment, Judging
from the small number OF persons
who possess it. Another should be
to keep the lips closed while eating
solids, to avoid the dlsagreeable
noise that sometimes accompanies
the action. Bread to be eaten with
soup or milk should be laid at the
left of the plate, aud broken with
one hand only. Meat must be fine
" cut and eaten slowly; vegetable
food requires even more mastlca-
ton than meat, as it must be thor
oughly mixed with saliva TO insure
proper digestion. 1t is better to
help children to small quantities
and to replenish the plate than to
give too large a portion at once.
When there is IL decided dislike to
any article of food, only a mouth
full or two should be given at a
time.

most pronounced virtues. But it would
respectfully direct the attention Of its
visitors to the advantages it possesses
for the permanent location of the capital
Of the state at this place. II is very near
the geographical center of the state. 1t
will soon be the center of its population.
1t is easily approached from every direc-
ton. 1t possesses an abundance Of the
purest OF waters. Its surroundings are
pleasing to the eye and contain points of
absorbing interest. 1t is admirably SIT
uated viewed from every point. Its PEG
pie are public spirited, enterprising and

green earth. What more can the people
Of the state ask when looking around for
