there is no gas in the room, see that neatly
trimmed lamp is on the mantel, with matches
close at hand. Also, see that the lock and
key are in order, as all visitors desire privacy,
at times.
All the wardrobes and chests Of drawers
in guests rooms should be- left empty. Peo-
pie like to feel that they have the room for
the time being to themselves; and this com.
Portable sensation is completely destroyed II
they. are liable to be invaded at various times
by the owners of those possessions which are
laid away in drawers or hung On pegs, which
they only wish had been left free for their
own articles of attire.
There should always be a .writmg.table in
blotting paper, an inkstand filed with ink
and pens that will write. Ii it is winter, see
that your guest has fire in the room. Need
less to say, the beds and sheets should be
thoroughly aired.
You should make your visitor acquainted
at once with the hours of meals, and if you
breakfast at late hour, offer an early cup of
coffee or chocolate to be brought to the bed
room.
Many people who rise, or, at least, wake
very early, find it, especially If accustomed
to an early breakfast, very trying to have to
wait for late one; and the temper of the
guest, as well as his health, is apt to suffer
by the delay.
With the exception of people who have a
large income and of course plenty of ser
wants, a guest necessarily increases the work
in the household, but it should be your aim
to prevent this fact being apparent.
If you let your visitor see that you are not
treating him with too much formality, and
that You pursue your ordinary ayocation as
Los Angeles herald., 1908-08-30

usual, he will feel much more at home than
If you altered the whole routine of your day,
and labored incessantly to entertain him.
Always have your sitting room or parlor
well provided with books and papers; and
DO not Imagine that you can never leave your
guest alone. Often he may thoroughly enjoy
a few hours to himself, to pay up arrears of
letter writing and read books; or if lady,
do needlework, for which time hitherto has
failed.
II you take your guest to any distance by
rail, street car or cab, remember that these
conveyances are used instead of a carriage,
which, did your means permit, you would
probably possess. Therefore, your guest need
not pay his fare.
This, with middle-aged, old, or very indie
pendent people, is not always easily man
aged; but, if possible, it should be insisted
peilses of any young person staying with
you might be paid BY yourself. 1t win be
but small expense, and if you can afford to
have guests at all, you can manage to add
that item to the necessary addition to your
household expenses incurred by their visit.
Young people, often with scant probationary,
will be very grateful to you in many cases.
In the very best regulated families accidents
will occur sometimes. The butcher does not
send the meat you have ordered; the sitting
room fire takes to smoking, and you have to
retire to the dining room; you have forgotten
to order that which your visitor can scarce
iy do without; your pony lanes himself just
as you had planned that charming drive; or
your cook is taken i'll, and perforce you have
to reduce your menu TO the capabilities OF
yourself and the "up stairs girl. They can
not be helped; and these, as well as kindred

mishaps, will occur, however, much you may
exercise forethought.
Take everything as calmly as you can, and
do not make q fuss.
If you can laugh over the accident, and
turn it off easily, SO much the better; and
your visitor will be far more at his ease il
you do, than If you perpetually regret its hav-
ing happened and bemoan the matter contin-
nally.
AS for apologies, beyond those necessitated
at proper times by the rules of society and
etiquette, the fewer there are of them the
better.
Do the best you can for your guest, and
avoid more ceremony than you can help.
Should he live in a different style from your.
self, do not always be inwardly comparing
your household with his, and spelling your
cheerfulness by mental regrets that you have
not got q French cook in the kitchen, and
servants in livery to assist your guest to his
favorite dishes
On the other hand, if your lot is cast where
you have a wellappointed house and plenty
Of servants, do not, if Mrs. Jones is staying
with you (who perhaps lives in small house
or cheap lodgings), make her feel uneomfort-
able
This, by want of tact, is often done by we'll
intentioned people, who treat their homely
guest as If he must have come to be fattened
up, not having sufficient food at home. or
as if the unaccustomed exercise Of a long
drive must necessarily fatigue him terribly.
And, as last word, never reprove a servant
before company. Endure almost anything
sooner than do that. 1t is a needless wound
ing of the feelings OF your servant, and your
guests comfort is not by any means considered
when you do so.

on lodges of rock to receive the fish brought
by their parents, and, when old enough, the
father-bird eoaxes them to become fishers on
their own account.
He is kind but firm, takes short fights to
and fro, bringing no fish, but trying to say,
There's as good fish in the sea as ever came
out of it; go and catch it yourself" But the
baby-gull though he casts wistful look at
the shining waters, where he feels he is
henceforth to win his bread, is afraid to
make the plunge. Then his father takes a
fight down to the shore, and comes sailing
back to say, 'Therel You see went down,
and 1 have come back all safe. Now you
try"
At last the young one, pressed by advice
and by a little wholesome fasting, spreads
those strong wings and futters down after
bis best friend, nevermore to return, for, the
delights of sea-fshing once tasted, he begins
life on his own account.
The writer saw two parent-eaglesA above one
of the crags of Lake Erie teaching their twin
eaglets to fly They began by rising from the
top of hill in the eye of the sun; it was
about midday and bright. At first they
made small circles, and the young birds imi-
tated them; they paused on their wings wait
ing till the little ones had made their first
fight, and then took second. enlarging the

circles as they went into wider and wider
spiral. The young ones followed, seeming
stronger on the wing as they mounted, and
the family of royal birds continued this sub
lime kind of exercise till first the young
ones and then their elders were lost to the
aching sight.
Concerning food there is not much for ami
mails to teach their young; as rule, they turn
to the proper sort without guidance. Yet the
mothercrabbit brings out her little troop Of
Dummies, who have fed hitherto ON milk, and
shows them where the sweetest morsels may
be nibbled and what herbs to choose. Her
mate. said to be an indifferent father, seems
proud to greet his children at this crisis in
their lives. He takes them between his
paws, smooths their fur. and caresses them
with great tenderness.
A great moral is to be drawn from Mother
Natures conduct in such matters. Though
her early lessons sometimes appear harsh, love
underIes them all. She detests spoilt chill
dren. No animal is ruined by her for want
of a wise frmnesss, nor made helpless, and
selfish by over-softness, nor prevented by
false kindness from holding its own in the
battle of life.

~ 7 is interesting to notice how easily
every young creature except human
~ baby seems to find out all he ought
to know in order to make his hfe
happy and useful. Though highest of all In
the end, our race is the most backward at the
beginning. Directly chick leaves the egg,
it begins to peck, as il it had lived on corn
for years. Young ducks preen their feathers
and can swim directly they are hatched, and
newborn crocodiles, a few inches long, will
fight if interfered with The young of the
pretty little moor-hen who builds her nest
close to the brim of river or pool, plump
straight into the water from the egg-shell and
swim merrily with their tiny red feet.
Though their young know so much, how
ever, animals know that it is their duty to
educate their little ones. It is on the Kinder
garten system that their infant schools are
conducted; the games which are played by
old and young together are better than any
books.
On moonlight night, the mother-fox may
sometimes be seen teaching her cubs, as a
cat teaches her kittens or dog her puppies,
how to hunt for prey, where to hide, when to
pounce; then, suddenly remembering, poor
things there will also be things to chase
them, drives them about, runs them down and
ends the play by sham fight, snarling, growl-
ing, worrying, tearing, killings in fun.
Thus practice makes perfect, and business is
taught by pleasure. Birds are easy creatures
to watch at their lessons. Everybody can
see little brown sparrow, at least in spring
time, bringing up his brood, and in most
towns, ong-birds of all kinds are now pro-
tected.

some such place, who had brought her eldest
son from home TO the nearest stretch of grassy
lawn for lesson in getting worms for him
self She went hopping along very fast, and,
stopping with jerk, turned her head aside
to listen for the rustic of worm or insect
in the grass, the baby-thrush following her
everywhere as little dog follows his master,
begging loudly for food. No; she would not
give him bit. She wished him to listen for
worms; and soon he caught the sound and
squatted down in front of her, shivering his
wings and opening great pink mouth. In
vaini She pulled out worm, ate part of it
herself, and left him to pick the rest. He
did not understand. Then she stopped and
tried to show him how, and ended by finish
ing it.
It was severe lesson; but when this had
been repeated three or four times, it seemed
TO dawn on the youngster that he might as
well do little on his own account; and at
last he feebly poked at the worms himself, and
found out that he knew the way to his own
mouth very well if he tried. could not
stay to the end of the instruction, but
feel sure that he departed wiser thrush.
Lessons in flying are beautiful to behold.

F7HE increased facilities for travelling in
this century have very much conduced
to the practice of entertaining visi-
tors. Half century ago people paid
fewer visits, and those generally OF longer
duration than at present. In these days, every
one possessing a spare room, or able to extern
porize one, likes to ask a friend to stay with
them. Now, an invitation should be given for
a definite time, and in this there is no breach
of courtesy whatever. 1t is far more conVe-
nient for hostess and guest if the latter Is
invited to "come and spend a week" or "a
month";" or 'from Saturday to Monday" as
the case may be, than, as often happens, TO
be asked to come and stay "a little while,
or to come on visit to u.s."
Most people, especially those who number
a great many friends and acquaintances, have
to make their visits fit one with another, and
this is impossible, unless you have given your
guest some idea of the length OF time you e1-
pect him to remain with you.
Another drawback to this uncomfortable
vagueness is, that you may also wish to invite
other guests, and so cannot arrange for their
visits.
Your visitor, too, may be able to regulate
his OF her baggage by the length of the invi-
tation, as the same amount of clothes Is not
required for visit of few days as that of
some weeks.
Should you desire to lengthen the stay of
your guest, it is easy to press him to remain;
but in the first instance of giving the invita-
ton, name definite time.
1t is your duty TO see that the room intend
ed for your visitor Is IN perfect order. II

The fast Reglino baseball team
defeated the Edw. Malleys team at the
West Rock grounds yesterday by e
score to s. The Reglino team after
their victory over Howe & Stetson
team last Friday went into the game
full of ginger to do the same to the
Malley team The Maliley team was
ahead to up to the ninth inning
when the Reglino team came to the
bat. The Regimes got three men on the
bases when O'Keefe came to the bat
and did the swat Milligan feat and lin
ed two base hit and scored two runs;
then Wooster's single scored the man
on third, O'Keefe going to third maxi
ing the score to 5. The Regime cheer
ing section who made themselves heard
throughout the game raised more noise
cheering than the Yale cheering Sec
ton. The Malley team came up and
went out in 1-2-3 order.
Penny did very good work pitch
ing. Capt. Dan Bailey Is very much
pleased over the game and would like
to get a game for next Friday as he
thinks his team is the fastest amateur
team in the city.
August IA the Regime clerks will go
to Clinton to play the home team of
that place. August they go to Mt.
Carmel to play that team.
