These pills are easy in action and are

THINGS 10 AVOID.
De Not Discuss Irritating Subjects at
the Dinner Table.

De Not Discuss Irritating Subjects at
the Dinner Table.
Why is it that in most households the
dinner table becomes a dumping ground
for the wholesale plants of its mem
bers? Probably because this is the only
meal of the day when the entire family
meet together, each one feels it duty
to air a few personal grievances in
order to seek consolation from the
others.
Out of Difference to digestion, if for
no other reason, dinner table CONVERSE
ton should be of the spiciest, but this
fact is lost sight of in the general de-
sire for everybody, from papa down to
the youngsters, to serve up only those
topics which have marred, rather than
made the days happiness.
Hardly has the man of the house fin
ished his carving duties before he falls
into an animated financial discussion
with his wife. Household expenses are
rehashed, bills grumbled over and the
cost of living recalculated with tedious
regularity.
Mother, in her turn. eagerly pours
into any listening ear her domestic
woes. The days errors below stairs are
ntinutely recorded. She sighs over
Hridget's butter waste, declares that the
butchers indifference to her order is
becoming intolerabIe, and so on.
Then the small boy (poor little tar
get for family flaw picking) comes in
for his share of criticism. His failures
at school are relentlessly raked up and
all sorts of punishments threatened un-
less there is speedy reform
If there are guests present this talk
of the inner circle is. for courtesy's sake,
given less personal favor. but only
then. Good cheer and plenty of it, is
not the mettO of the average family din

ever, it is still possible to make use of
the idea embodied in the illustration.
Within the closet have a leaf with
chains hinged 10 the front edge of one
of the shelves to let down level with that
shelf when the closet door Is opened,
and to be folded up in front of a couple
of the shelves when the door is closed.
Kf the closet now extends, from midway
of the wall to the ceiling, the present
door can be taken off, and a half door
be put on and hinged as is the one in the
cut, the remaining space above being
closed with a curtain, sliding upon
brass rod. In fact, the same plan could
be adopted for the upper half of a closet
now extending from the floor to the cell
ing, the lower half being closed with a
curtain. In any event the door that is
to be turned down to become, for the
tfme-being, a sideboard should be hand
somely paneled on the outside, to make
it an attractive feature of the wall. A
handsome wood-lilne oak, finished in the
natural state, will be very suitable for
this purPose.-COuntry Gentleman.
