Conversation at the Dinner Table.

Talking is one of the best of all rec
reations, and a woman who under
stands the art possesses a most useful
and enjoyable accomplishment, writes
Amelia E. Barr in the September La
dies Home Journal. No dinner table
is well-appointed without good takers;
and the basis of interesting conversa-
ton is reality. After course of Lon
don dinners, Sir Walter Scott said,
1.-THE bishops and the lawyers talked
better than the wis.," that is, the wits
talked for the sake of talking, and the
church and law had something to talk
about. Yet specialties and hobbies are
not admissible at dinner table, and a
woman who can only talk of her own
fad has no business in society. She
ought to write pamphlet, or 90 on
the lecture platform, for any converse
tons at the dinner BILE that is strain
on the attention or patience soon be-
comes bore; indeed, one of the chief
elements of pleasant company is a
readiness to talk, or be talked to, on
any rational subject.

ACultiyated Memory.

A well known railroad man told
the following story: When | was
at Mandan, N. D., we had a man
whose memory of car numbers was
really remarkable. When train
whistled into the yard, he would step
to the platform, and without book
or pencil would stand and watch the
cars go by.
IF any one was standing near, he
would converse upon whatever sub
iect occurred, and when the CONVEX
sation was ended he would step into
his Office and make complete and
accurate record of the train, begin
ming at the first car and ending with
the caboose. Sometimes, just to test
him, we would get him to begin at
the caboose and write the numbers
the other way, or else begin in the
middle of the train and work both
ways.
He never made mistake that !
remember. Car numbers, the names
of the roads to which they belonged
and their relative position in the
train would all be recorded accurate
ly. His was the most remarkable
memory that ever knew of. Ana

Patriotic to the Last.

A couple of Englishmen, en- route for
Rome, were joined by an American,
whose blatant patriotism first amused,
then bored them. No matter what was
admira BILE, rich or rare, there was al
ways something in America to eclipse
it, according to our countryman. The
Britishers determined to teach the Yam
kee a lesson, and taking advantage of
the chronic thirst of their companion,
they piled him with all the liquor that
he could be induced to absorb, and then
proposed visit to the Catacombs. Be-
fore they reached their destination they
were obliged to guide his Grant steps
between them, and at length, over
come by drowsiness, the American beg
ged to be left alone to lie down at his
ease. When sounds of discharge of
musketry issued at regular intervals
from the nose of the PROSTATE patriot,
his companions concluded that he was
dreaming of the Fourth of July, and
would therefore be oblivious of any
thing nearer at hand Producing a
sheet, purloined from their hotel and
until now carefully concealed, they
wrapped the sleeper like a mummy in
its folds, and then left him, to "do"
the CatacOmbs on their own account.
Returning an hour later, they found
him still sleeping. One of them then
drew from under his coat a tin fish
horn, and blew upon it a blast that
only elected grunt and produced a
fiuttering of the eyelids of the sleeper.
A second blast, however, longer and
louder, brought him to a sitting pos
ture, with eyes wide open and senses
all alert. A moment of bewilderment,
and then he exclaimed, joyously: "Ga-

In SO far as the Liberty bell is con-
cerned, the Philadelphians, or some Of
them at least, believe in the enforce
ment of the adage, "a place for every
thing, and everything in it's place. -
The bell went to Chicago and got safe
ly home The more conservative Phila-
delphians are thankful, and are opposed
to taking any more risks with their
best relic. They do not want it to be
sent to Atlanta, and eight of them
have filed bill in equity praying for
an injunction against the removal of
the bell from Independence hall, where
it belongs.
1t seems to the present paragrapher
that the objections to the itinerancy of
the bell are well taken. 1t isn't cow
bell, that it should go struggling about
the country. Moreover, it is very
much less interesting when wrenched
from its proper moorings than it is
when seen in the place where it be-
longs. 1t seems not too much to ask
that people who want to see the Lib
erty bell should go to Philadelphia.

CHURCH WEDDING ETIQUETTE.
Some Invitations That Must Be RecOg-

Some Invitations That Must Be RecOg-
nized by Autumn Brides.
For church weddings everything per-
tains to formality, and the invitation
as well as the ceremony is impressive
in all details. The names of the par
ents heading the invitation are now
more often written in full, thus insur-
ing good-looking line at the top OF
the note. The use of the initials,
which are indefinite, is to be discour-
aged. The "r' and ''rs" in Mr.. and
Mrs. are frequently engraved above the
line, owing partly to the English Gus
tom of so doing and because, when the
parents names are long, more space on
the line is gained. With short names
the authorizations are preferable on the
line with the other small letters. For
the same reason 'and'' in full is sub
stituted for the abbreviation, although
the latter is more often used. The line,
request the honour of your presence. "
almost invariably appears on church
invitation with honour spelled with
a "u.''
The names of the bride and groom
are separated by the little word to-
although some consider "and'' quite as
proper.
The omission of the prefix miss"
from the daughters name is customary
on an invitation but should never oc-
cur when the bride is sister, cousin
or niece of the people issuing the invi
tatiOns.
If a widow is remarrying she uses
the prefix Mrs. with her Christian
name and the surname of the deceased
husband.
If the bride is an orphan, with no
one to issue the invitations for her, the
heading reads "The honour of your
presence is requested to.
When the bride has more names
than one it is customary to use all.
The address of well-known church
is generally omitted although it is fire.

THE FAMILY LOG-BOOK.
A Suggestion Worth Making Note OF
and PrOfitfng By.

and Profitfng By.
Perhaps one of the most amusing
and absorbing diversions is the keeping
of family log-book-not an egotisti-
cal diary, but big open volume in
which the family doings are recorded
each member of the family taking, in
turn, the duty of setting down the
days events, and each vying with the
other in making this family history as
gay and pleasant as possible, writes
Elizabeth Bisland in "When Living in
the Country" in the August Ladies'
Home Journal. An endless series of
interests and amusements will arise
from this practice, and the book will
gain infinitely in attraction if illus
trated. If someone in the household
is clever with the pencil SO much the
better, but occasionally the crude at
tempts of the unskilled are quite as
amusing as if better done, and in any
event one always has the illustrated
papers and magazines to fall back
upon. 1t will astonish those who have
never tried to find how completely and
cleverly any story can be illustrated
by clipped pictures. The whole pic
ture need not be used: horse, man,
a dog, house or tree may be taken
out of some complete story and made
to fit in as appropriately to the text as
if drawn specially for it.
Let the log-book lie close at hand,
with ink and pens always ready; box
of clipped pictures, gum-bottle and
scissors always in place, and before
long the family history will be grow
ing into a delightful illustrated story.

WOMEN IN BUSINESS.

Be Respected.
The woman who meets men in bust
ness in a sensible way, thinking no
evil and expecting none, IN ninety nine
cases out of hundred will be treated
respectfully and kindly; indeed she
will find men much kinder and more
considerate than women in business
dealings. In the possible hundredth
case where a man shows himself a
beast or a puppy (by the way, believe
a puppy is beast also, but we Will let
it go at that,) it is very weak woman
who cannot maintain her dignity and
teach her insulter valuable lesson at

claring that all men are saints; in bust

women, which they have perfect
right to do if they use honest methods.
Twice while earning my living | have
been thrown out of good positions by
men; not because they wanted OF could
fill the place had, but through bust
ness jealousy, and by underhand
methods that would make horsethief
blush; so 1 am prepared to admit that
there are mean men, but they are in
the minority. Men are just as good,
just as honorable, as generous and as
worthy of trust and confidence as the
women. 1t is time that this cry of
working women against men be
stopped. If a woman respects herself
she will be respected; and this is the
testimony of those gifted with beauty

yours truly. We find what we look
for in this world if we look for evil
we find it, if for good, our search is
doubly rewarded. -Womankind.

Planting Lilies in the Fall.


would always advise fall planting,
writes Eben f. Rexfordtfn the Septem-
Der Ladies Home Journal. My exper-
fence has been that lilies kept out of
the ground during the winter season,
no matter how much pains has been
taken with them, are sure to be weak
~. They may recover to certain ex-
tent, but seldom make satisfactory
plants until new bulbs have been
formed about the old ones, and even
these, because of lack of vitality in
their parent, are not likely to give
complete satisfaction. To have good
specimens it is imperatively necessary
that you should plant strong and Wig
orous bulbs, and these you will not
find among those that have been long
out Of the ground. would advise Or
dering bulbs very early in the fall An
early order is sure of early attention,
and you will be sure to get your bulbs
as soon as possible after they reach the
dealer. If you take my advice about
getting your bed ready as soon as you
can send off your order there need be
no delay about getting them into the
ground Oh their arrival, and an exami-
nation will show you that your bulbs
are plump. juicy, and with heavy
feeling which indicates liberal guam
tity of moisture stored up in the thick
scales Another reason why early
planting is desirable is this: If you
get your bulbs into the ground month
before cold weather sets in they will
have time to form roots and become
in their new quarters.
Late-p1anted bulbs cannot do this. If
you make any delay you must not ex-
pect very much from them in the shape
of flowers next spring.

when an empire where jewels are as

There is more catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced it a local
disease, and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly falling to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurabIe.
Science has proven catarrh to be q con-
stitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
