was a very valuable one, he felt very bad
about it. As he stood looking sadly at the

quired what was the matter. James to'd
him, and he said: "Well, go home and
tell your mother that a boy threw a stone
at you, and broke tho pitcher."
"No, I shall go home aud tell mother
that I dropped it and broke it."
"But you will surely get whipped if you
du. She will think that you were care
less." "I don't care if I do get whipped. I
shall tell the truth. I would rather take a

heart-broken, it dropped to the ilil-t
in its loveliness and despair. Now the
gentle breeze, which had been gambol

neat cottage and still brook, turning the
old mill, fanning (he brow ut disease and

Never refuse soup and never ask for a
second helping, "llu Was such a fellow
now, us would ask for more soup at dinner, '
was the condensed criticism passed upi n
souie one by a famous English exquisite,
and really it is more comprehensive than
would appear on the surface, since one
person ut the table may keep all others
waiting if he sk fur a second dish of soup
If you wish more salt, and have au iudivij

in your tho nib aud finger; aud do nut, after
taking it on the end of your knife, perform
upon the knife with Jour fork or spoon a
tattoo. Shake the fait from your kuifi
silently at all limes; but do not taku thu
trouble to shake it all over your plate
soup, as if it were solid, when one stir
about is all sufficient lo season its remotest

Dip from the middle of the plate tud do

nut to make the least sound with your lips
in eating soup or anything else the clat

sound uf scraping are not to be tolerated
among refined people. Hold your spoon
on or in your hand, not under il. Do not
grasp spoon or fork as if you feared they

Intermittent malarial fever set in,
complicating the ease and making
every symptom more pronounced and
intense. liy this time the ineumo
gastric nerves had become very seri
ously involved, am' she bad chronic
(iiistritis, and also what I may be al

the fever was there still. Almost every

by the usual weakness and collapse.
About Ibis time I met socially my
friend Mr. Norton, a member of the
firm of Chauncey Titus Jv Company,

from nie these facts, said : "Why, 1

Now recall what I 'lave already said
as to her then rotidilion, and then read
what follows: I'nder the Kaskine
treatment all the dyspeptic symptoms
shotvtil iiisdiil improvement, and the
daily fever grew less and soon ceased
altogether. Side by side these diseases
vanished, as side by side they had toit
