"The Splitting Habit"

In our youth we were much offend
ed at the satire of Dickens in "Mar-
tin Chuzzlewit" concerning the to-
bacco-chewing and expectorating
habit of American men. But of late
we are beginning to wish some apos-
tie of cleanliness would take up the
crusade again. The condition of
the sidewalks, street cars, public of
fees, and railway coaches in many
parts of the South is simply dis
graceful. And the chewers of to-
bacco are not the only offenders. The
splitting habit seems to be epidemic
among us.
After the splitting habit the next
in ofensiveness is the chewing habit,
especially the habit of chewing gum.
We often wonder if young people,
young ladies especially, know how
much they prejudice their own ap-
pearance in the eyes of strangers by
laboriously ma~sticating on the
street, on the train, behind the coun-
ter, everywhere, a mouthful of oily
stuff of doubtful cleanliness and ut
terly unfit for food. So much work
ing of the jaw gives the impression
of a feeble misunderstanding Advo-
cate.

Table Manners for Young Folks.

In talking at the table, if the
company is large, you will usually
converse more with your neighbor
than with the circle as a whole. But
at home and in the family, or at
the house of an intimate friend, you
must do your share of the enter
tainment. Save up the bright little
story and the witty speech, the fun
ny sayings of a child, the scrap of
Jews in your Aunt Mary's last letter,
and when a good opportunity offers
add your mite to the general fund
of amusement.
There are dear old gentlemen
and old ladies too-who have ia
vorite stories which they are rather
fond of telling. People in their
own families, or among their very
intimate acquaintance hear these
stories more than once; indeed, they
sometimes hear them until they be-
come very familiar. Good manners
forbid any showing of this-any
look of impotence or appearance of
boredom on the part of the listener.
The really well-bred-woman or girl
listens to the thrice-told tale, the
well-worn ancedote, says a pleasant
word, smiles, forgets that she has
heard it before, and does not allow
the %raconteur to fancy that the story
is being brought out too often. Good
manners at the table are infexible on
this point. You must appear pleased.
You must give pleasure to others.
You must make up your mind to re-
ceive qualification by imparting it.
Once in a while an accident hap
pens at a meal-a cup is overturned
some unhappy person swallows "the
wrong way" somebody makes a mis-
take. Look at your plate at such a
moment, and nowhere else& unless
you can sufficiently control your face
and appear entirely unconscious
hat anything has occurred out of
the usual routine. Take no notice.
and go on with the conversation, and
in a second the incident will have
been forgotten by every one.-Har-

And the maize-feld grew and

Till it stood in all the splendor,
Of it's garments green and yellow,
Of it's tassels and it's plumage,
And the maize-ears full and shin

Cleaned from bursting sheaths of
verdure.
Then Nokomis, the old woman,
Spake and said to Minnehaha:
"'Tis the moon when leaves are fall

Listened to their noisy talking,
To their laughter and their sing
ing,
Heard them chattering like the mag
pies,
Heard them laughing like the blue
jays,
Heard them singing like the robins.
And whene'er some lucky maiden
Found a red ear in the husking,
Found a maize-ear red as blood is,
-,"Nushkap cried they all together,
"Nushka! you shall have a sweet
heart,
You shall have a handsome hus-

From their seats beneath the pine
trees.
And whene'er a youth or maiden
Found a crooked ear in husking,
Blighted, widowed or misshapen,
Then they laughed and sang to-
gether,
Crept and limped about the corn
fields,
Mimicked in their gait and gestures
Some old man, bent almost double,
Singing singly or together:
"Wagemin, the thief of cornfelds
Paimosaid, who steals the. maize
