MANNERS.
Can They Be Acquired or Are They
Inherited?

England is discussing the question,
"Can charming manners be taught9'
Most mothers hold, consciously or UNI
consciously, one Of two theories about
the requirement of manners by their
children.
One mother says, Manners are only
the outward sign Of the inner nature.
Ii my daughter has kind heart and a
well.trained mind she viii behave in a
gentle, charming fashion. | will teach
her compassion, respect for age, un.
selfish zeal for helping with the worlds
work. Her manners will take care OF
themselves"
Another mother says, yAfy girls will
never get on without conventional man
ners. They shall be taught from baby
hood to emulate the speech and bearing
OF ladies. They shall be instructed in
the proper behavior for every occasion.
They shall walk and dance and write
and speak with graceful perfection"
Neither method produces altogether
satisfactory results.
Unselfishness is truly the foundation
of good manners, but not the super
structure Many conventional restrie-
ions nave grown about social relations
Some can be explained BY the demand
Of kindness and some cannot. Could
child infer from his desire to help
others that he should not eat with his
knifeg Many offences against good
taste interfere in some way with the
rights Of others, but many others do
not
Still, no set Of rules to produce d
polished lady will achiye result fit
for the strain Of life. The manners OF
the French boarding school may adorn
the ballroom, but are too likely to fail
at the breakfast table or in the crowded
car. The woman Of perfect manners
must reinforce her usefulness by
social rules, and conyentionality must
be yitalized by the warm desire for
others pleasure The best life never
comes naturally whether in manners
or morals
The secret of charming manners i.
the desire for them. When the mother
wishes them for her daughter as much
as she wishes the other goods of The
world, her daughter will have them.--

UNION FARM PRODUCTS.
Trades Unionists and Farmers Work
ing For Mutual Interests.

The movement to secure cooperation
between the agriculturists of the west
who have formed the Farmers union
and the trades unionists of the cities
has taken its first practical step in Chi
cago, says Joseph B. Buchanan in the
New York Journal Union eggs and
union butter are now within the reach
of the union householder in that city.
The first shipment came from a farm
ers' local union in Kansas, and It is
the intention to keep up the shipments
and to increase them as the demand
grows. The object Is to secure fof the
farmer the top market price, without the
reduction OF commission, and 20 fur
nish the products Of the farm to mem
bers of unions at a figure which viii pay
the producer and meet the cost Of hand
ling, the element Of profit being entirely
eliminated.
Dealings will not be limited to butter
and eggs, but will embrace the entire
list OF farm products that are suitable
for use by the consumer without first
passing Through mill or mandatory.
AT the recent convention Of the Amer.
ican Federation OF Labor fraternal rela-
tions were established between that or
ganization and the Farmers union with
d view 70 cooperating for their mutual
interests. II Is understood by the trade
unionists generally that the farmers and
the wage earners are TO pull together
in politics az we'll as in economies; that
not only is it the plan to secure advan-
taQes for both parties to the agreement
throught the distribution Of farm pro-
ducts, but In undertakings to obtain
the passage Of laws for the advantage
Of either or both.
Already in some western states the
trades unionists and the farmers unions
are working together for the passage Of
laws by the state legislatures, and there
is no reason why the field for such work
should not be broadened so as to In,
clude every state every agricultural
state at any rate lin the country II
is coming, and nothing viii bring these
two elements, which are the mainstay,
Of society, together more quickly than
the practical evidence that the farmer
can help himself by helping the wage
