Respectfully Dedicated to the
Memory OF Fannie L Il Bunch.

BY FRIEND.
Gently fell asleep i'll Jesus,
Without nlur;leT or complaint,
4 mothers pet and only darling,
Now III Heaven blessed Saint.
Anxious friends stood at the bedside,
Tenderly Watching day by day,
Offering prayer, that God might spare
her,
And their dear one take not away.
But alas! He i'll his wisdom,
Who docth all things we'll,
Thought it best to take the baby,
With Him home Oh High to dwell.
She is now a little Angel,
In that "Heaven ofrcst' above,
Folded on her Saviour's bosom,
A meet partakcr i'll his love.
Then grieve not dearest mother,
From life's troubles she is free,
Remember the Fathers joyful greeting,
Suffer the little ones to come unto
me-"
Bear thy sorrow with Christian meek
ness,
She only bids thee short adieu,
On the Resurrection morning,
You'll again embrace your Fannie
Lou.

Carving the Thanksgiving
Turkey.

One must learn, first of all, to
carve neatly, without scattering
crum bs or splashing gravy over
the cloth or platter; also to cut
straight, uniform slices. Be care
full to divide the material in such
manner that each person may
be served equally we'll. Lay
each portion on the plate with
the Drowned or best side up. An
essential to easy carving is that
the platter be large enough to
hold not merely the fowl or Joint
while whole, but also the several
portions as they are detached.
The platter should be placed
near the carver so he may silv
reach any part of it. All skew~
ers and strings should be re-
moved before the dish is brought
to the table.

Often Neglected Duties.

Have you ever noticed how many people
have ears which project, eyes which look
bald because they have no eyeashes nor
brows. and thumbs which are broad and fat
at the end? That is because in infancy their
mothers were either indifferent or ignorant
OF few simple Observances which would
have obviated all these physical defects
Babies for the first few months are really
only tiny bun les Ofmalleabie cartilage, and
it behooves mothers to see that this cartilage
is trained in the way it should go.
About the ears-many men and women
to-day have to thank the bonnet strings of
infant years for oval appendages which es-
tabIish a resemblance between them and
monkeys Mothers should avoid tying any
thing behind the babies e,rs. A good plan
when the baby is asleep, is to lay 1t on it's
side, so the little head will press the ear
fat. So common has become this disfigure-
ment that skeleton caps of crossed ribbons
are made to press the baby's ears close to
the head. Children with ears that project
should sleep with this arrangement over the
ears.
eyes without lashes and only shadow
where the brows should be. This is espe-
cially the case. when one or both parents
are blondes.
Pure vaseline rubbed on the brows sew
eral times daily and put on the lashes at
night will promote immediate growth. Nor
does this apply only to children, but is ef
ticient with adults.
Nothing too strong can be said against
permitting children t. suck their thumbs
Charming and heart-delighting as this COM
mon occupation of the baby is to the aver
age mother, nothing will more surely ruin
the shape of the hands. 1t is the cause of
broad, fiat thumbs in after life. A little
bitter prepare ton put upon the baby's
thumbs will render those rosy digits less
palatable, and after one or two attempts
baby will soon forget the injurious habit

Wife, versus Hired Woman.

The young farmer will get more work
out of wife than he could out of two hired
women Therefore, as a general rule. we
should advise young farmers to marry, and
for the following reasons: 1t costs no more
to feed wife than it does a hired woman;
usually not so much, because if a hired
woman does not like the food, or does not
get enough to eat, she is very apt to leave

this way of placing before them the advan-

than to hold the position of farmers wife

Manners for Bows.

The boy in the family seems to call for
everybody's especial attention. He is always
doing something he should not do, and his
rOllicking thOughtless manners are always
getting him into trouble From father to
Youngest sister he is scolded aud admOnished
as to his behavior All think it their duty
to add some thing to the polish which most
boys so sadly need.
We are sure boy would rather be- polite
than otherwise. He would much rather
know that people say, What a perfect little
gentleman" than to have them say the re
verse. And he would only have to be par
ticuIar about few things to accomplish
this object, The folio wing are a few rules
which we'll bred boys always observe.
Take IF your hat on saying "How do you
do?" or Good Dve."
Take your hat off on entering any room,
whether 1t be Off e. church, or private
dwelling, and also in elevators.
When walking with lady always keep
her at your right hand, whether she be on
the outside of the walk or not. In meeting
people turn to the right, and you would
thus save her from being brushed against by
the passing crowd.
When opening door for lady. hold it
open with the hand and permit her to BASS
in first.
Precede lady when you must go single
file.
When walking with lady, always carry
her bundles, She may say mo" but she
will think more OF you if you insist.
Should you meet gentleman you know
with lady you don't know, raise the nat
in passing.
When passing a lady Oh the street, coming
from behind her, raise the hat in passing
She, of course will see who it is when you
get ahead of her.
When necessary to pass in front of any
one always beg pardon for doing so.
Precede lady ngoing upstairs.
AT THE TABLE.
If napkin rings are provided, fold your
napkin and put it in the ring Otherwise
do not fold it, but leave it lying loosely on
the table.
Never eat with the knife.
Never turn liquids into the saucer to
drink them.
