Table Manners of Ye oIden DAYS.

Can any one still pirate Of the good old
times after reading the following extract
from a sixteenth century book entitled
"The Accomplished Lady's Rich Closet,
or the Ingenious Gentleman's Delightful
Companion?n ''A gentlewoman, being
at table, must observe to keep her body
straight. and not lean by any means with
her elbows, nor by ravenous gesture dis
cover voracious appetite; talk not when
you have meat in your mouth, and Go
not smack like pig, nor venture to eat
spoon meat so hot that the tears stand in
your eyes, which is as unseemly as the
gentlewoman who pretended to have as
little stomach as she had mouth, and
therefore would not swallow her peas by
spoonful, but took them one by one and
cut them in two before she would eat
them. It is very unseemly to drink so
large draft that your breath is almost
gone, and you are forced to blow strongly
to recover yourself"

TENNY COMING TO SACRAMENTO.
Tenny, the swayback, Salvator's great
rival, is coming to California. John
Mac1ey has secured the great racehorse
for Rancho del Paso, in this county.
Tenny is by Rayor d'Or, the sire of
Tea Tray, Banquet and many other good
performers. Rayor dor was by Flageo-
let Tenny's dam was Belle of the May
wood.
Tenny has been the hero of score of
great races, and won over 500, 900 for d.
i. Pulsifer, his owner, in one year. The
great match race between Tenny and Sal
vator will long be remembered. 1t was
the greatest race duel on record. The
race was the result of the Suburban in
1891. Salvador won the race in the fast
time of 2:06 As.
Mr.. Pulsiier was not satisfied with the
defeat Of Ienny, and race was arranged
at one and a quarter miles for So 200 a
side. 1t was agreed that both horses
should carry 122 pounds. Isaac Murphy,
the colored Archer. bestrode Salvador,
and the famous Snapper Garrison rode
Tenny. 1t was grand race, Salvador
winning after one Of the most exciting
and closest races on record in the won
derful time OF 2:05, which is the fastest
time ever made in race over a circular
track.

Captain Truthful The. fleet of sixteen
boats with their sails flying and their top
sails set came sweeping along the coast.
Then suddenly in the heavens appeared a
great black cloud, and in jiffy it was
down upon US. And what do you think
it was?
ou said it was cloud, Captain"
Captain Truthful--And so it was, gen.
tlemen, so it was; it was cloud of mos
quitoes And they swooped on us so
sudden and left us so soon that we hardly
knowed what had happened until we
looked aloft and saw that every blamed
bit of sail was gone. We were stripped
clean by the things.
But, Captain, what did they do with
the sails?"
Captain Truthful. thought somebody
would ask me that-thought maybe you'd
think l was a liar, and nobody hates a
liar worse than l do. Gentlemen, we
never heard of our sails for two week s,
when we happened to go down in New
Jersey and see every burned mosquito
wearing new suit of canvas clothes.-

HOW TO SUCCEED.
Tenacity of Purpose and Honesty the
Main Requisites.

Tenacity of Purpose and Honesty the
Main Requisites.
/ The measure of mans success in life
depends very often upon himself. 1t
! depends more upon what he has in him
self, the talent, the skill, industry, pru-
dence, tenacity, than it does on things
! that lie outside of him otherwise his
opportunities. An opportunity is OF no
earthly use to any one until il is grasped,
cherished, made the most OF.
a man must be quick to see and to lay
hold Of the opportunities that come in his
way; otherwise, he will only be able to
take retrospective glance at them as
they float away into space TO join the
! other might have beens. The world is
full of opportunities waiting, like fishes, to
! be caught. but ordinarily they do not drop
into mans hand; he often has to put his
worm on the hook and sit for whole day
angling before he gets a bite-but then it
may be big one.
! How often do we see boy or man
who seems TO lack every possible advant-
age climb steadily to the very topmost
Lights. Very often we think him a dull
slow, plodding sort OF fellow, but he gets
there" all the same, while those who de-
rided his methods stand below, craning
their necks at him and gaping in aston
ishment.
Tenacity of purpose is one of the chief
insurers OF success The one who fits
here and there from one bright flower or
purpose TO another will never succeed. He
is allured by each in turn, and as soon
tires of it. lie becomes a Jack-at-all-
trades but master of none. The man who
succeeds sets himself to work and sticks
to the business; he learns all parts of it,
he studies it from all points, he takes
an interest in it, he loves it. He does
not let 1t matter TO him: he becomes
! its master, and he succeeds. 1t matters
not what business such man enters, he
is bound to succeed anyway, because he
knows how To stay, he has the quality of
adhesiveness, of tenacity. of honesty.
OF course, a dishonest man may be sue
cessful from monetary point of view.
This, however, is not a true success; be-
cause there is nothing lasting about it
his money he cannot carry with him
and what shall it profit man il he gain
the whole world and lose his own soul. "
The man who is really successful builds
| his character while he is building his pros
perity; and though the prosperity yield
TO accident and vanish, he still has some-
thing left-a treasure which neither moth
nor rust can corrupt.-The Yankee Blade.

tended, the idea having been entertained
that the operas are not given so well as
later. But this is scarcely fair to the
troupe. The work it has done in the
past, the very low price of admission, the
character of the operas presented, the
fact of a different opera being given each
week and the heavy expense OF main
tanning so large company, demand
that there should be better attendance

For the Protection of Birds.

According to the Lanterne, as
quoted by the London Standards
Paris correspondent. a congress of a
novel description is shortly to be held
IN Paris. All over the continent it
seems that the wholesale destruction
of the small insect-eating birds, by
nests, traps. and birds'-nesting, has
done great damage to agriculture, and
especially in orchards and VINEYARDS.
Therefore, the minister for foreign
affairs, at the solicitation of leading
agriculturalists, has entered into ne
gotiations for the meeting of an inter
national congress to devise measures
for the protection of insectivorous
birds. Switzerland, Spain, Sweden,
the Netherlands. Belgium, Russia.
Roumania, and Greece have expressed
their willingness to attend. Germany,
Austria, Hungary and Italy have init
mated that they are bound by inter
national treaties for the protection of
birds, but that If the new scheme did
not materially clash with their owY
they would accept it

His Methods.
Or. Aldriclzs, of Kentucky, who is an
enthusiastic entomologist. when asked
for some information on the subject
he has made speciality of, says the
Philadelphia Press, said: ITO study
the habits of the moth family you must
live and grow mp with them. The
finest varieties fly by night. and it is
with some difficulty that they are cap
tured. The usual way is to 60 out
with hand net and a pot of stale beer
sweetened with quantity of molasses
or sugat. 4 dash of this mixture on
the bark of the tree, whose leaves the
moths feed upon, is the bait which
lures them to death. AS soon as they
light the net is sprung over them, and
later on they are asphyxiated by being
dropped in an etherized jar, after
which they are carefully mounted and
labeled. l have a house built espe-
cially for their propagation and filed
