POINTS ON ETIQUETTE.

A gentleman takes the initiative in
asking to begin a correspondence.
The hostest shake hands with each
guests both on the arrival and when
they take leave.
A widow retains her deceased hus-
bands name on her visiting card.
thus: Mrs. James Collins.
A professional mans title is used
in an introduction, as: DIR. Blank, :"
Professor Thompson" etc.
The lady enters a carriage first,
but the gentleman gets out first in
order that he may assist the lady.
The day at home is engraved in the
lower left-hand corner Of the card,
the right-hand corner being reserved
for the address.
Guests do not remain over twenty
or thirty minutes after luncheon.
The leave taken should be done quiet
ly and quickly.
The napkin is partly unfolded and
placed across the lap. At the end Of
the dinner it is placed unfolded by
the side Of the plate.
Ruled paper is no longer used;
plain moderately heavy cream or
pearl white paper that folds once is
always in good taste; also use only
black ink.
Social observances differ somewhat
10 large cities and small towns. 1t
is well to observe what customs are
followed in the town you may visit
or reside in and to follow those GUS
toms.
Well-bred people are careful not to
make themselves conspicuous on the
street or in public places either in
dress or manner. This is one Of the
surest tests Of good breeding and
good manners.
Do not begin q note or letter
Dear Friend, or " Kind Friend. "
These terms are not used. My
Dear Mrs. Brown to acquaintances
and My Dear Mary" or Dear
Mary, !" Is much better form.
Where the groom's parents live in
another city and they attend the we'd
ding ceremony, the brides mother
should. il possible, entertain them in
her home. II not, rooms at hotel
should be engaged for them.
Wedding gifts are not displayed to
guests in general. A room is re-
served for them on the second 6o0r
of the brides home, and the day
before the wedding the brides inti-
mate friends and the bridal attendants
are invited to see them.

COURAGE.

And fronts It with Q smiling faco

~ Blind fury and the lust Of blood.
Across her soul no tempests fly.
No passions surge in angry flood.

Which frames the sun and hides the

POULTRY NOTES.

Apoplexy and e&gbouud are the re-
suit Of excessive fat.
No one kind Of grain will give as
good results as variety.
Observe which hens are the best
layers and breed from them.
There i nothing 20 fruitful Of dis
ease as damp, uncleau quarters.
Don't be too sure that your birds
have 40 lice; examine them closely.
Bowel trouble in young chicks is
often prevented and corrected by the
substitution OF scalded milk for water.
A good preparation with which to
clean eggs that are soiled is vinegar
diluted with water. Clean eggs sell
better.

poultry raiser, no matter how small

And the friends I loved so we'll:
Back to Texas and to ranch life.
Camp again among the hills
And to ride behind the cattle.
Feel again the life that thrills;
Hear the coyotes In the moonlight
Singing with thousand yells
As trail to Sleepy Hollow
Or camp out on Howard Wells.
Get a rope around a yearling,
Yank his feet clean of the ground:
Try my luck at riding Pink Eye:
Break his neck and still be sound:
Hear the bugle of the stagecoach
That comes rolling into town
Just as DER the azure hillsides
Good Old Sol is coming down:
Get a glimpse Of dear Ozona
When the shadows kiss the hills
And breath Of air SO bracing.
That your sorrow ever stills.

City life has got me sure.
Got me working like jackass
Just because there II lure

Lure Of competition too.

OLD WINDMILL is DESTROYED

ished by Dynamite.

London.-A 150-year-old windmill.
which formed q prominent landmark
at orion, Waterville. near Peterbor-
ough, has been blown up by dynamite.
The windmill, which stood as steady
as the day when 1t was completed.
was some years ago fitted with IN al
ternate steam plant. But the tendency
Of the times has been toward the ex-
tinction Of small country mills. For
some time it had been without q mil
Ter. Recently 1t had become the re.
sort on Sundays Of youthful gamblers.
The authorities Of Pembroke college,
Cambridge, to whom it belonged, had
received 20 many complaints that they
decided to have it destroyed. Ten
pounds Of dynamite were distributed
round the base Of the mill, the sails
of which had been removed. The
machinery, though rusty, was stu
standing. A time fuse was lighted;
there was q terrific explosion, accom-.
panied by q cloud Of dust. And all
that remained Of the old mill was q
heap Of scrap iron and broken ma
sonry.

Of these little animals at an
average cost Of 10 cents each. The
