Politeness in Animals.

Anyone that has observed the ways
of animals must have noticed how
many even insignificant little creatures
have very good manners. You may
think it strange that an animal can give
lessons in polteness; but, after all, po-
likeness is necessary in a community,
and the animals that live and labor to-
gether, that lead any sort of social life,
have to be considerate of one another's
feelings. You cannot be sociable and
selfish, both.
Have you never seen a number of
ants working to move large morsel of
food to their larder? 1t would be per-
fectly absurd for one ant to try to lug
away the delicacy by himself, and he
has sense enough not to attempt 1t. In
stead, he calls as many of his friends as
he can, and they all work with will.
There is no disorderly jostling or quar-
reling, because that would interfere
with the accomplishment of their pur-
pose. They politely help one another
for the common good.
OF course, ants, we may say, belong
to one family, and 1t is only natural tina
they should be polite. Many animals
are polite to others that are not of their
species. A little girl friend of ours was
lately much distressed by the loss OF

The Little Girls Version.

A tiny girl of or thereabouts gave
a dinner party the other day, for which
twelve covers were laid, and that num-
Der of small maidens sat down to dine.
1t was real little girls dinner, and the
little hostess herself presided, sitting at
the head of the table. But she was
anxious, in looking forward to 1t, to
do everything as 1t should be done.
Mamma" she asked, shall We say
grace?'
NO" said mamma, ut will be very
informal dinner, and I think you need
not do that
That meant one less ceremony to be
gone through and was relief, but the
little lady was anxious to have all her
small guests understand it. So, as they
were gathered about the table, she ex-
planned:
Mamma says this is such an internal
dinner that we need not have grace to-
day."

Habits that Hurt.

Almost all loose habits are contract
ed without effort. At first they might
be easily dropped; but, persisted in,
| they become second nature. Stop and
think before you form them. Disagree
able habits of the body, scowling, twist
ing the mouth, biting the nails, contin-
ually picking at something, drumming
with the fingers, screwing and twisting
! in chair or whatever you can lay
hands on-do not acquire any of these
things. Learn to sit at ease, like a
gentleman, l was going to say; but
am afraid even women fall into such
tricks sometimes.
OF course, there are worse habits
than these-nabits which become vices;
habits which convert good men into bad
ones. But am now speaking of very
little things, which are only annoying
when they are persisted in.
There are habits, too, Of speech, with
you see" or you know" "now-a,"
"why-a," "sez he,' tell me now" etc.
-indlstinct utterances, sharp tones,
slow drawl Avoid them all. Stop and
think what you wish to say, and then
let every word drop from your lips
clearly and distinctly.
Have a care about your manner of
walking, sitting and standing. Before
you know 1t, you will find your careless
habits have hardened into coat of
mail, of which you cannot rid yourself
without much trouble. If you do not
rid yourself Of Ii, the time will come
when you cannot help perceiying that
your society is no longer sought for by
former friends; for the majority of peo-
pie do not care to be bored by the Pc
culiarities of their neighbors.

The Doll.

Dolls have amused the world for
ages, says Golden Hours, and seem to
have been well known in the days of
the Pharaohs, for in the tombs of an
Client Egypt, figures Of painted wood, Of
terra Gotta, of ivory, and Of rags have
been found, whose limbs were made
movable for the delight of children.
In the ruins of Etruria similar toys
have been discovered, and In China as
well as in India, movable figures were
made to act from time immemorial by
hand and on strings or as shadows be-
hind curtain.
The ancient Greeks were experts in
the manufacture of puppets, including
wax dolls.
