Smile at Breakfast

The day of an entire family is
often made or marred by break
fast table manners. If the atmos-
phere is disagreeable, if even one
person starts the day swapping,
every one at the table is apt to, be
disgruntled before the meal is
through. 1t should not be any
more difficult to smile in the
morning than at midnight; indeed
the woman who has lived through
eighteen hours of strenuous mod
ern life would seemingly have
more excuse for irritation at the
end of it rather than at the begin
ming, Yet strangely enough, more
people feel cross at break fast than
at any other time. There are
women to whom getting out of bed
is more of temper test than a
direct insult. They consider the
rising gong personal enemy and
seem physically incapable of a
smile or pleasant word until they
have been up several hours.

aHumbIe Pie"

Originally the term humble pie"
carried no opprobrious meaning. The
pie was one made out of the hum.
bles" or ''numbles," from the Norman
French "nombrlls"-i. e., the entrails
OF deer. To this day 1t Is highly es-
teemed In Scotland and in northern
parts Of England. So late as the time
Of Pepys tumble pie was served as
part of the menu of a gentlemans ta-
BILE on an extraordinary occasion. Some
writers derive the contumellous use of
the phrase Ito eat humble pie" from
an alleged custom of serving tumble
pie" below the salt, or at the second
table. But this is not supported by
authority. 1t more probably came into
use simply through the similarity of
sound. there being no similarity Of
meaning whatever between the noun
umbles or numbles and the adjective
humble.

A Queer Battle.

A traveller in South Africa tells Of a
singular combat that he witnessed. He
was musing one morning with his
eyes on the ground when he noticed
caterpillar crawling along at rapid
pace, followed by hundreds Of small
ants. Being quicker in their move
ments, the ants would catch up with
the caterpillar, and one would mount
his back and bite him. Pauslng, the
caterpillar would turn his head and
bite the ant and kill his tormentor.
After slaughtering a dozen or more Of
his prosecutors the caterpillar showed
signs of fatigue The ants made n
combined attack. Betaking himself to
a stalk of grass, the caterpillar climbed
up tail first, followed by the ants. AS
one approached he seized 1t In his
jaws and threw II off the stalk. The
ants, seeing the caterpillar had too
strong a position fer them to over
come, resorted to strategy. They be-
gan saving through the grass stalk
In few moments the stalk fell, and
hundreds Of ants pounced upon the
caterpillar. 1t was killed at once.
