Good Manners at Home.

The presence Of good manners is no
where more effective than in the house
hold, and perhaps nowhere nor rare.
Whenever familiarity exists there is a
tendency to loosen the check upon sell
fish conduct, which the presence Of
strangers involuntarily produces. Many
persons who are kind and courteous in
company are rude and careless with
those they love best. Emerson says,
Good manners are made up of petty
Sacrifices" and certainly nothing can
more thoroughly secure the harmony
and peace of the family circle than the
habit of making sacrifices for one an
other.
Children thus learn good in
the best and most natural way, and hab-
its thus acquired will never leave them.
Courtesy and kindness will never lose
the power of their charm, while all spu-
rious limitations of them are to be de-
spised.

He Was Too Smart.

The boarding house joker has at last
met with q setback. He has been crushed
by the landlady. and it came about in
this way.
He was the only man at the table full
of lovely girls, and like all only men he
was spoiled. So when the belle of the
table remarked that she was very fond of
pepper and then sifted half the contents
of the pepper boz over her food he sprang
an old gag on her:
at won't hurt you. This pepper is halt

What is that you say?" asked the
landlady from the next table. Speak a
little louder, won't YOU?
He reiterated his remark.
"That isn't true" retorted the land
lady holly. 81 do not use adulterated
goods on my table"
my dear madam" said the bland
joker, there are always a lot Of p's in

The Cowboys Accomplishments.

One of the chief sports of the COWBOYS
is snatching a sombrero from the ground
on a horse running at full speed. This
is done by many. They have become ex-
perts in the use Of a 6-shooter (r~evolver),
and a cowboy on the plains is seldom
seen without n or more, often two,
buckled to his waist. 1t becomes a
weapon offensive and defensive. Some
times a roped bull becomes SO furious
that the cowboy is compelled to shoot
him. Usually the cattle on the plains
are not dangerous. They will seldom
attack a man on horseback unless they
have been roped. If a man was on foot,
q herd would run over him trying to find
out what he was. A COW or bull is dan
gerous when roped. 1t is not much of a
trick to throw a lasso and catch a COW,
but the skill, courage and strength comes
after the COW has been lassoed.-Cor.

The Duration of a Dream.

Those learned and scientific gentlemen
who have gone into the subject declare
the longest dreams hardly last a few
minutes. The following instance lends
support to their views. One evening
Victor Hugo was debating letters to his
secretary. Overcome by fatigue, the
great man dropped into a slumber. A
few moments afterward he awoke,
haunted by dream which, as he thought
had extended over several hours, and he
blamed his secretary for sitting there
waiting for him, instead of Weakening
him or else going away. What was his
surprise when the bewildered secretary
told him that he had only just finished
writing the last sentence dictated to him.

disappeared. The next morning she re.

could not recall under what circum'
stances she met him. Again she dreamed
the same thing. For weeks and month";
after she would occasionally have the
same dream without the slightest varia
ton. She began to be seriously troubled
over the occurrence and at length de.
cided to leave town.
She had been in Philadelphia a few
days when she had occasion to go into
of the large buildings. Upon the
second floor she noticed that there was
an elevator and decided to wait for it.
Just at that moment it came down, and
as it went by the second story landing a
voice within said, Your turn next"
This startled Mrs. Cook, but she
thought it merely accidental that these
were the precise words of her dream and
resolved to repress her fears. The ele-
vator came up and stopped. She almost
tainted when she saw that he was the
perfect image of the man of her dream.
Her terror can better be imagined than
described. She recovered herself quick.

Attacks Of sick headache could oiten

In such cases there is often q regular II

some error of diet the patient IS graou

cial effort of nature to throw on. Inen
the whole internal machinery refuses y

rendering the food taken into the mouth
fit for absorption into the system at large.

is the same-the ov~erburdened organt

gested food acts as an irritant, and head
ache and general disorder in the digestive
tract prevail.

intricate faculty of articulate speech
seems no more miraculous to the I'M
thinking than do the eternal varieties of
eating, drinking and sleeping. Yet the
former is arbitrary and conventional, the
invention of man-perhaps not confined
to him, if Professor Garner of monkey
speech fame is to be believed-while the
latter are natural, absolute common,
and the sine qua non of existence.
The Office of speech-the celebrated
French diplomat to the contrary not
withstanding -is to convey thought.
How important, then, that this vehicle
of thought transference, this common
carrier of ideas, this carriage laden with
the most delicate and elusive of bur-
dens, nothing less than the very essence
Of the soul-perishable freight, indeed
should be carefully watched and devel-
oped to its highest and best capacity.
The comparative ease with which the
average individual may be taught to e.
press the thoughts of himself or others
in an intelliget, Ineligible. even pleas
