What the Dining Room Teaches Every one likes to have her chil dren spokon of as being well brought up and mannerly; but we forget some of us that the every-day home life is responsible in a very large measure for the way In which our children deport themselves when in enmn.nnv. Tn foot trio Tinmn mnnrnirB "show through," no matter how we trv to hide them. In a moment of forgetfulness vq show ourselves as we are, not what we would bothought to be. This is particularly true of children. If children ar taught by example as well as precept, at the eyerv-day table, to properly use their spoons, knives and torks, napkins, cups, etc., and to be cleanly in hand line their dishes, drinking nroperlv. "chewing with the mouth shut, and not allowed to pick and pull over the victuals served in vthe family dishes, they will 'usually respect the pro prieties when at the tablo of others. In no other way can a child make itself more disagreeable than by showing a disregard tor the decorum and delicacy of the table. If parents 'would only remember this, and insist kindly but firmly on obedience to these rules, they would spare them selves many humiliating experiences. But these lessons cannot be taught by precept alone; there must be ex ample as well. If ttie adults of tho family and especially the father allow themse'.ves unseemly latitude in this direction, be assured the bright little eyes will see it, and sometime, when one is particularly anxious to have things at their best, these imitations of home methods will flash out. to our intense morti fication.

Pour out a teacup ful and return to the pot, to clear the spout. Let stand another five minutes and serve. For drip coffee, one must have a perforated dripper which fits tightly inthe top of the pot, or the dripper may bo a muslin bag, not too thin, then one is safe in judecing it to be all wool; but if it breaks in short, uneven strands and falls apart easilv, ft is undeniably ccton. It is much more satisfactory to get either all wool or all cotton. Silk may be Judged by its thick ness, if for street costumes, as it must have "body" to it. Avoid flimsy silk as you would a plague, for it wHl drag from the seams, hang limply nnd be altogether unsatisfactory. Silk may also be judged by the thread. Pull the thread from the end, as in testing cottons and woolens. For the Garden Now is the time to transplant your shrubbery and herbaceous perennials.
