In Mexico q group of lads from to 12 will meet and each boy decorously lift his hat, and salutations of extreme courtesy will be exchanged, and then comes the boyish chatter, the run and the laughter, the same as anywhere Boys ill Mexico also treat their elders with much respect.

Alden Benedict's "Fabio Romani" which will be presented at the opera house Thursday, December 30, is q romantic melo-drama on the order of "Monte Cristo" but differing en- tirely from that famous play and it is said to surpass it in interest and dramatic effects. The scenery and effects are realistic, especially the earthquake scene i'll the last act, which is pronounced by the press where the play has been produced to be one of the finest stage pictures eyer presented to the public. Mir. Benedict has company selected for the characters assigned them, and they are highly spoken of by all who have witnessed their performance.

Good Manners.

These few remarks upon good man. ners will bo indorsed by every boy and girl. Golden Days says:
 Good manners are among the greatest charms person can possess, and every body should cultivate them, especially young people. They are something money cannot purchase, fer thore is only ono way of obtaining thom, and that is by habitual practice.
 We know a good mother who used to say:
 Always use good manners at home, and then when you go among strangers you need never bo alarmed, for it will be perfectly natural to you to be polite and respectful. D
 This is true, and VIC have always thought that the best and easiest way to do anything right was to get into the habit of doing it right.
 Hardly anything is of more eonse- quenee than good manners and polite ness ill boy or girl. They ronder those who possess them favorites with their relatives and friends and prepossess strangers toward them. Politeness costs nothing and at tho samo time is of the greatest vatue.

Amateur florists should study the habits of tho plants in their collections in order to giyo the special care needed by each variety, writes Eben B. Rexford in The Ladies Home Journal. Mot only does this advice apply pertinently to wa tering, but to the position in the window. Your plant window may ben southern one which will admit great deal of sunshine. This will exactly suit geraniums, hello. tropes, roses and plants of that class, but begonias, primrosos and many other plants adapted to house culture are not partiou- larly fond of strong sunshine--in fact, are often injured by full exposure to it. 1t is possible to find out exactly what course ta pursue and to effect compromise between these two classes of plants without change of windows Find out what plants like partial shade and giye them positions In tho rear of the sun loving plants. In this way the plants which require sunshine will not be robbed of it, and those which do not require sunshine will not be harmed by having aD oxoess of it."

For this service he would charge q good round price, while in many instances it was noticed he made no eilargo for the cider.
 "But, as is the way of all flesh, this blacksmith died one day, and then his business secrets came out.

Birds and Kites.

It is interesting to watch the way in which the larger birds will view kite flying bravely in the higher air. The birds do not understand what the queer object is, and when they fly close to the kite, as though eager to fight it and find out what it is. they perform many amusing and peculiar antics As the kite flies nearer to the earth the smaller birds will frequently light on the ltring and swing to and fro in evident .nioyment.

Fountain pens are rather older than most people imagine. As long ago as 1924 they were ill use, for ill that year Thomas Jefferson saw a contrieance of this sort, tried it and wrote to General Bernard Peyton of Richmond asking him to get one of them. The pen was of gold and the ink tube of silver, and according to Jefferson s letter the nlak CT was ! Richmond watch repaires named Gowan.
