Manners For RoYH.

Poor fellowsl How you get scolded
and snubbed and how continual is the
polishing and drilling which every men,
ber of the family feels at liberty to ad-
minister!
No wonder opposition is aroused
when, after all, If you were only in a
quiet way informed Of what was expect
ed, you would readily enough fall into
line. Here are some good rules to begin
with:
Hat lifted in saying "Goodby!" or
"How do you do?"
Hat lifted when Offering seat in
train or omnibus or in acknowledging
favor.
Keep step with any one you walk
with.
Always precede lady up stairs and
ask her il you may precede her in pass
ing through crowd OF public place.
Hat off the moment you enter street
door and when you step into private
hall or Office.
Let lady pass fint always unless
she asks you to precede her.
In the drawing room stand till every
lady in tho room is seated; also older
people.
Rise il a lady comes in after you are
seated and stand till she takes seat.
Look people straight in the face when
speaking or being spoken to.
Let ladies pass through door first,
standing aside for them.
In the dining room take yonr seat aft
er ladies and elders.
Never play with knife, fork or spoon.
Do not take your napkin in a bunch
in your hand.
Eat as fast or as slow as the others
and finish the course when they do.

With dresses that's cut decultay
An sleeves like barls, by iing!

That women can't dress as they please
Providn' of course, that it's proper
An gives them a feein' of ease.
Last fall I drove in with the wagon,
And our Rosie Jane come along
Purtiest girl in the county,
So lively, an timber, an strong;
Boys all a-dyin' to win her.
No gal i'm the valley her like
An she sported the turkey-red bloomers
Shed made to wear on her bike.

When all to once come a shoutin

A pedalin' just like-well
OF course it was our Rose
She rode past the critters head;
She knew that she could turn him

But, lawsey, how she lodged hin

But Rosie just said, with grin:

Please lend Little Boomers pin"
That's why Pm mad when the fogies
Think they've the right to assert
That womanknd's scheme of salvation
Depends on the length of her skirt.

Beats petticoats, roomy or small;

The Concert at the home OF j..
j. Simpsons on Thursday night
was grand success, the entire
amount taken in was S24.0O with
a clear profit of $1,000 for the
church. The managers and au-
dience were disappointed by Mr..
Col Pearce failing to furnish the
music as he firmly engaged to do,
yet the evenings pleasure was
not hindered. The timely ar
rival of the beautiful and accom-
plished Miss Jennie Stevens,
from Brookhayen, took the place
of musician for the Peak Sisters.
Prof. A. N. Grafton could not
attend the concert in person, but
like gentleman of the old prim-
tive kind. he sent in his admis-
sion fee. Truly, he is man of
deeds, and good deeds too.
Died on Monday evening at 2
o'clock, Louise, the infant

had watched over this precious

able position by her own good
merits. She is now taking two

credit for thus showing his APP

The good people of Madison, especial

now to honor plain man OF the peo-
pie who has proven true to his trust
and faithful to his constituents. we
challenge any one to prove that any
former occupant of the Office did more
at uny period of their long service than
Mr.. Spencer did in his one session.
The verdict of the best men in the dis
trict bear us out 10 this assertion. 1t
does net require ''gass bag to make
an efficient Congressman. Washington
nor Jefferson ever made a ten minutes
speech in their lives. Nor does 1t re,
quire a magnetic mein to be a great
man, Napoleon was called the little

heart are all right, the one as full OF
ability as needful and the other as true
as steel to his people and CONSCIENTIOUS
discharge of duty-what more do you
want? II is pity the great legislative
halls of our nation are not full OF just
such true men as spencer. No man is
said to possess more influence with
neads of Departments than he, and he
has been twitted with being SO intent
on his duty as to only know the way
from his home to the Capitol, not even
seeing the Washington monument wish
BILE ten miles from the city. Pity there
are not more Spencers. We send men
to Washington to work for us and not
to become society lioas, tell cloak room
stories, or guzzle down hot coffee and
whiskey punches ia Capitol saloons.

Call Them wheelwpys,

There is need of a good word for des-
ignating road from place to place ex-
clusively for bicycles Bicycle path is
the term commonly used There are sew
eral reasons why this is not suitable
term.
In the first place. the word path prob
ably is derived from the Greek verb pa
tein Ito walk), and means a footway.
Secondly, the expression is too long; it
has four syllables. Thirdly, it is clumsy ;
it has two accents. Fourthly, it is not
euphonic.
Instead of bicycle path The Compan.
ion respectfully suggests wheelway.
This word is analogous in its formation
TO driveway. The word has not been
used in any other sense except by one or
two writer's incorrectly to designate
those parts Of wagon road in which
the wheels run Way means the entire
road, and not some part of it. Wheel.
way is better than wheel road for the
same reason that driveway is better than
drive road 1t suggests recreation before
utility.-Youth's Companion.

EXERCISES eoa the THROAT.


4 BsaneA q ehHssal C1lsurs Hse o.
Es1sAsA o..
The chronic sore throat h not iufre-
quently produced by the misuss IL the
vocal organs. Very often that unruly
little member. the tongue, is acouuta-
BILE for the difficulty. a. it is for great
many other troubles in this transitoGy
life. Many people have q habit when
talking Of pushing the tongue 90 far
back against the delicate membranes
that line the throat that irritation more
or less painful is caused, and II it con.
tinues any length Of time ulcers will
form, and so will q Doctors bill.
Control Of the tongue is excellent in
all senses Of the word. Physically this
organ may be managed by depressing it
into hollow at APPOINT three-quarters
of an inch back Of where the tip Of it
comes when in natural position in the
mouth and at the same time singing
very light head tones This exercise
requires some patience at first, but the
habit of keeping the tongue down is
soon acquired. In speaking or singing
it should not be allowed to hoop up and
fill the mouth, thus interfering with
the free passage of the tones Of the voice
mouth, where they should strike and
then escape clear as bell. This hoop
ing up of the tongue in the mouth is the
cause Of much of the indistinct and
slovenly utterances to which we are too
often obliged to listen.
In many people we notice the line
from the point Of the chin to the neck
is in the form Of Alright angle. In q
shapely throat this line forms q curve
Just as canary's does when the small
yellow artirt is warbling his carols.
To develop the throat and make this
angle curve, stand before a mirror SO
that you may watch the throat swell
out. Now thrust your tongue out as far
as it will go, then draw it back quickly
and forcibly, at the same time bringing
1t downward in the mouth as far as You
can. Place your thumb and forefinger
against the larynx Commonly called
the Adams applet, and if you are max
ing the right movement you will feel
the larynx pass downward. For week
or two make the movements lightly.
After that time put as much force into it
as you can. The exercise should be
practiced for q few minutes several
times . day to insure rapid and good
results.
To fill up the hollows Of the neck,
stand correctly, and then slowly fill the
lungs with air without elevating your
shoulders. As the air is forced upward
into the throat hold it there few Sec
onds and then expel slowly. This exer-
else is best performed soon after rising
in the morning and before retiring at
night-New York Post.

A method Of preventing the noise
made by trains when passing over iron
bridges has been devised by a German
engineer named Boedecker, locality not
stated. He puts decking Of ~ inch
planks between the cross girders, resting
on three inch timbers laid on the bottom
fianges, while ON the planks a double
layer of felt is placed, fixed to the YER
teal web Of the cross girder At the
connections with the girder a timber
cover joint is put ON felt, and two hook
ed bolts connect the whole firmly to the
bottom fiange. Four inches of Stag gravel
cover the decking, which is inclined to-
ward the center of the bridge for drain.
age purposes. and layer of felt is laid
between the planks and the timbers upon
which they rest, and the ironwork in
contact with decking and ballast is as-
phalted. The decking weighs 900 pounds
per yard for bridge IL feet wide and
costs % cents q square foot.
