It is the natural wish of every mother to edueate her daughters in some social accomplishment that will add to their attractiveness and agreeability. What the accomplishment shall be is a dif- ficult question to decide, if the student displays no very strong bent in any | one direction. my: Some lighter grace above the solid '¥, part of one’s education is always de- ‘ sirable; a person who merely possesses solid information alone is apt to ap- pear pedantic. But very often the time spent in acquiring so-called ac- complishments is absolutely thrown away. Take, for example, piano play- ing. Almost every girl attempts this, i and in families of small means the house- hold is often skimped to obtain an in- strument and lessons.

By all means let every girl who has the opportunity learn something of music; above all, if she has any veice, let her sing; she will give pleasure to herself and others, and lighten many a tedious hour. But don't let her strum all her brains away. There isone social accomplishment far more useful than music, and that is | the art of agreeable conversation. The i hadt a fight mit his wife | | girl who plays the piano finely, but is unable to converse, is always at a dis- advantage when compared with one who, devoid of accomplishments,” knows just what to say and when to say it, What are the requisites for a good conversationalist? First’ of all, a kindly and sympathetic disposition, to- gether with a readiness to be pleased by others. Add to this the impalpable quality we call tact, and a fund of varied information, such as comes only with much desultory read ing, and we have all the material, if we do but use it aright.

Icalled them to aid me. They yelled at the bear and he walked off. The Mexicans helped me out of the tree, and accompanied me to camp. Itold my story and was lau shed at. After breakfast my comrades and T ; went to the place where I had met the bear, but he had gone away. One of my comrades, aptly named Thomas, looked attentively at the tree I had taken refugo in, and said: “« ‘This is the tree you was in. is it?’ Yes,’ I replied. «I don’t believe you were in that tree,’ he said, ‘and I will bet youa slug ($50) that you can't climb into it.’ “I took that bee and lost it. After several attempts te climb it I took off my boots and coat and made one last and desperate effort. It was in vain. I might as well have tried to clim) the smokestack of a steamboat. I lost my gun, lost my hunt, lost a slug, and came near losing my reputation for truthfulness—-would have lost it if the Mexicans had not asserted that they had found mein a tree. That ended my bear hunting for years.”"—Cor. N. ¥. Sun. +o FULL OF FUN. —It is the spur of the moment that makes time fly. —N. O.

This metrical version was, as is well known, by Sternhold and Hopkins, and some sage seized on the oppartunity of mak- ing a disgraceful joke at the expense of the whole publication. Another Bible, printed by Mrs. Anderson, at Edin burgh, in 1698 and 1705, is such an abominable production that all kinds of fearful names have ‘been invented for it, some of which are highly blas- phemous and others indecent.

It mukes a cheap food, but one of the best, not only assisting them in growth but greatly promoting health.—N. E£. Farmer. —A wether that is fed in winter only enough to keep it from shrinking wilt be no better in spring than in the pre- ceding autumn, and all the food con- sumed will be lost. The animal will be getting older all the time and more in- capable of becoming fat.—Chicago Journal. —If there is any thing on the farm that is only less than infamous itis a sore shoulder on a horse, says the Ohio Farmer. It is unnecessary—there is no excuse for it. Not the thinnest- skinned horse that ever lived need have a sore shoulder if his master has ordi- nary gumption and conscience. —The prosperous farmer, like every other business. man, is he who takes advantage of circumstances to get the most he honestly can out of what he has to sell. Not all business men fol- low the golden rule to do unto others what would be desired of them. Not all farmers do this, yet the golden rule is best in the long run. Why? A man’s probity in dealing net only ine sures respect, but. enables him to get better prices than he who doea not strictly regard his word.—Rural New Yorker. —There are many farmers who seem sot to realize how much they lose dur- ing the year that a little forethought would prevent.
