parties to the dispute have exhausted
their argumentative eloquence on the
one side and on the other. He grave
ly listens to the summary made out
by both; re views it with a lofty
absence of partially that raises him
far above the mortals who look and
listen and wait; and he gives his de-
cision with q judicial calm and an as
sured preciseness that places the mat

The master would not be human if
he denied himself vanity. So he has
vanity-but vanity of such an innocent
and pardonable kind that it's chief eff

him more kindly and more loving to-

loved and more reverenced by his circle
of worShiperS.
And, as with us, tits in his own coun

yond the bounds of his own parish the
masters fame is eclipsed by that of
him who yields the rule, and whose
word is law in the next parish. Con-

parishes meet at a wake, not infre
quently do they wage a wordy war in
assertion of the claims of their re-
spective masthers to signal pre-emi-
nence among his fellows.

But, after all, it is in his own little

twenty pupils than for the 100 which
often crowd it. A motley hundred of
all sizes, from the babbling infant sent
to school to keep it out of the way, to
the moustached young man who has
come in the idle days of winter to
, brush up his much-neglected literary
requirements before sailing for the
states-where he is ambitious of being
able to write his own letter home. They

BAD MANNERS.

Bad manners is often a great him
drance to a young man starting in life.
We see some men who seem to work
their hands off, and yet don't seem to
get along. The question naturally
arises: Why? 1t. is because they are
too cross grained and unapproachable
by their ungentlemanly conduct. They
repel patronage and business goes to
others who are really less deserving of
it, but more companionable.
why did our friend never succeed
in business?" asked man returning
to New York after years of absence,
''he had sufficient capital, a thorough
knowledge of his business, and eXcep-
tional shrewdness and sagacity." He
was sour and morose,' was the reply;
"he always suspected his employees of
cheating him, and was discOurteous to
his customers. Hence, no man ever put
good will or energy into work done for
him, and his patrons went to shops
where they were sure of civility''
Bad manners often neutraliZe even
honesty. industry and greatest energy;
while agreeable manners win even in
spite of other defects.

THE PROPER WAY TO EAT YOUR
FISH.
a Little Lesson in Table Etiquette
For Those Who Want Always to
Do the Right Thing.
CBY Helen Ward.O

10y Ileltll w al W.
Fish is served at dinner usually as a
second course.
1t should be eaten with an ordinary
fork
The bones must be evaded with such
dexterity as one can command without
other aid than such as a bit of bread
held in the left hand may furnish.
1t is considered extremely bad form
to use a knife in dissecting portion
of fish.
A little modern fish knife, with an
ingenious fork arrangement on one
side, is now made and will be found
usually at the tables of the ultra-fash-
ionable, but is not in general usage.
A bit of lemon is served with broiled
and baked fish, and it is in correct
form to use the fingers in pressing the
juice over the fish.
Potatoes are considered proper aC-
cessory to the fish course.
With d boiled fish the potatoes are
also usually boiled, cut into bits OF
scOOped out and garnished with lit
tie melted butter and chopped parsley.
With broiled or baked fish potatoes
are served en- crOquette Parisiene or
maitre de'hotel.
Sliced cucumbers with plain French
dressing are also served with the fish
course.
1t is not good form to ask for a sec
ond helping of fish.
Never use the fingers to separate the
bones from the eatable portion of fish.
In eating fish the fork should be used
with the right hand, and should be
pointed no more directly toward the
mouth than is necessary to put the
food between the lips.
Never pile the food up on the back
of the fork, and never use the fork
with the left hand while eating fish.
When cucumbers are served with fish
they should be eaten on the same plate.
Little plates or saucers for Cucumbers,
vegetables or salads are in bad form.
At formal dinners white wine is usual
ly served with fish.
It is customary to gaTnish fish with
watercress, which may be eaten from
the fingers.

My Jesus, Thou hast found a place
Within my heart today,
And with the treasures of Thy grace
Dost drive all fear away
Q grant that l may neer destroy
By grievous mortal stain
The blessings of that holy joy
That with my Saviour came.
But wilt Thou grant, 0 dearest Lord,
My every thought to bless,
That 1 may not by cruel word
Cause any heart distress.
Teaching me words of charity
To soothe each troubled mind,
That I, for very love of Thee,
May be to others kind.
Q guard me that no idle jest
Escape my lips today
All proud vain thoughts, great Heavenly
Guest,
Drive from my heart away.
So may 1 think of Thee alone
And speak to praise Thy name,
Till look and act and gentle tone
Thy presence may proclaim.

SPEECH.
CELIA Wheeler Wilcox

ella Wheeler Wilcox.)
Talk happiness The world is sad
Without your woes. No path is wholly
rough.
Look for the places that are smooth
And s speak Of those to rest your weary
OF earth so hurt by one continuous
strain,
OF mortal discomfort and grief and pain
Talk faith The world is better off
Without your ignorance and wicked
doubt
If you have faith in God or man or self,
Say so; if not. push back upon the shelf
OF silence all your thought till faith shall
come;
No one win grieve because your lips are
dumb
Talk health. The dreary, never changing
tale
OF mortal 1naladies is worn and stale
You cannot charm, or interest, or please
BY harping on that minor chord, disease.
Say you are well, or all is well with
you,
And God, shall hears your words and
make them trueS
