TRAINING CHILDREN.
When All the Family Help. Work Is
Ensy-The Dignity of
Labor,

When right-minded parents once see
the benefits their children may derive
from manual training they will certain
ly plan for them to have it.
One mothers desire to have her
daughter learn housework led her to
dismiss her servants and herself share
the work, that her object might be ac-
complished under her own careful su-
peryision. Nor was this done in spirit
of martyrdom, but one of wholesome
ioyousness,. remembered by both years
after with the greatest pleasure. One
cannot teach the dignity Of labor who
does not feel it and it is only to those
who look upon it as degradation that 1T
becomes such.
When in the course of human events
the maids place, become vacant, as is
apt to happen in the best regulated
families, the members thereof usually
sit about bemoaning the disjointed
condition of the universe. In one fam
ilv know Of, when such occasion comes,
each member takes part; even the boys
attack the -be-washed dishes
and the paterfamilias does not lose
caste in the community by lending
hand when at home in either the cause
of cleanliness or cooking. He can sweep
and dust room as deftly as any maid,
cook meal, and even bake bread rather
better than the most of them, all with
out making a muss or losing his temper.
Temper? Why, it is at its sunniest on
such occasions-the entire family really
rather enjoy the frolics they make of
them. Their motto seems to be Help
fulness versus helplessness." Table

BURST MAYFLoWER BUBBLE.
Prof. Anteek's Learning Played
Hob with Mrs. Jones'
Rare Relics.

Mrs Jones is Colonial Dame. Mrs.
Smith is a Daughter of the Revolution.
OF course Mrs. Jones is obliged to look
down just little Oh Mrs. Smith. Mrs.
Smith has therefore an abiding affec-
ton for Mrs. Jones. naturally.
Now, Mrs. Jones has Il number of
things that came over in the Mayfiower,
as all well-regulated Colonial Danes
should. Naturally they are dear to her
soul. To hear her tell about them is
JOY; to see her show them to an ap-
preciative visitor is a thing to be re-
membered.
Mrs. Smith ran across dried-up little
antiquarian the other day-Prof. An
teell, of Edinburgh, +. y. S., +. \. S. F.,
T. \. S. L., T. =. S., I. II. II. S., L. S. A.,
f. S. \. E., T. \. S. Scot, etc. He was
travelling incog, so 20 speak, but, after
a little conversation with him in which
the subject of Mayfower relics was
broached, Mrs. Smith insisted on TAX
ing the little man to an afternoon tea
at Mrs. Jones'. 1t was not long before
the 9rtful Mrs. Smith had Mrs. Jones
showing her precious relics TO the pro-
fessOr and her guests. The antiquarian
cast one look at Mrs. Jones treasures.
Then he cleared his throat and began:
"This silver wine cup may be gen.
uine; there is nothing to show that it
is not. 1 should say that these pewter
dishes were beyond suspicion. These
spoons are all right, doubtless. But
this silver coffee urn is of later date.
So is this teapot. So are these china
cups. So are these knives and forks.
None of them ever came over in the
Mayfiower."
How can you be so sure, professor?' ?'
said Mrs. Jones, crimson with indigna-
ton and modification. "All of them
have come straight down from that
Thomas Prence."
THAT may be, madame, but the hypo-
thetical teapots and coffee urns and
china cups that are supposed to have
come over in the Mayfower are all de-
lusions. Tea and coffee were never
heard of in England till about 1866.
For many years after that tea was sold
in England for from SO to $15 pound
-Pepys in 1871 speaks of it as a strange
and barbaric beverage just introduced
1t is therefore improbable that either
tea or teapot sr teacups reached Amer
lea until long after Mary Allerton, the
last survivor of the Mayflower, was laid
to rest on Burying hill. Forks had not
then been invented. There may have
been here and there a table knife, but
they were regarded as a curiosity.
Each man carried a clasp knife, or a
sheath knife, or a dagger, which he
used on necessity. Most meat was cut
up before being brought on the table, -
Mrs. Smith says she cannot under
stand why Mrs. Jones is so coldly
formal nowadays, when they meet
