Manners. 1 1 is a self-evident fact that the hoy who wishes to succeed in life in ust have good manners. No matter how poor a boy may be or how little he possesses, he may always possess good manners. One may be polite and gentle with very little money in his purse, a writer who has devoted His -pen. io the improvement and help of youth tells us.. The French and Germans of the lowest class, he says, are gracious in manner and well bred. These foreign work men will lift the hat even to each other, while some of our Ameri can boys, I add, hardly will give this salute to a lady. It doesn't cost anything to learn to be xy lite, and as Lady Montague says: "It buys everything." The well mannered boy holds in his hand the key which will open 'hearts and doors for him. "Win hearts," said Lord Burleigh to .Queen Elizabeth, "and you have all men's purses." Another man lias said that "spite and ill-nature are among the expensive luxur ies of life." Dr. Johnson once said: "Sir, a man has no more right to say an uncivil thing 'than to act one no more right to say a rude thing to another than to knock him down." The bars go down before the polite, boy, while rudeness shuts up the heart and purses too. The place to learn and practice IKHiteness is at home. I do not think-much of the boy who prac tices it outside, and who when he is at home is rude and unmanner ly. Such politeness is like a thin wash of gilt which soon wears off. it must come from the heart and 'alwavs be there. "Kindly affec tionate one to another." "In hon or preferring one another." Let your manners be even as courtly at home, and then when you are outside that courtliness wilt come natural to you and will not have to be assumed. Learn to thank your mother and sisters for their little attentions. A traveler on the shores of Lake Nyanza. in the heart of Africa, says that here "Ingratitude or neglecting, to thank a person for a benefit con ferred is punishable." Open the door for your mother to pass through as carefully as if she were a stranger. Pick up the little articles she or your sister may accidently drop, and then you will never neglect these little courtesies outside, "Wait" on the ladies at home in the many kindly little ways your heart will prompt, and yon will find your self doing so without any effort I was won not long ago by a poor boy who certainly never had one lesson in "etiquette." His man ners were perfect While other boys stood by in rude negligence. he was always ready to perform the many little kind attentions which win the heart.- He did it so simply and naturally that I knew that his mother had been the recipient of those attentions from his boyhood up. He had been practiciug on her, and in that practicing had become per fect Some.boys, and some brought up in well-to-do families, pride themselves on being rough. They think it betokens manliness. On the contrary, it shows a small, low nature. It has a bad influence on your associates, and at the same time "well bred boys will avoid your society. It is said that Benjamin Franklin, when he was a workman, retormed the habits of the entire shop. The results of good or bad manners are almost incredible, lour manners to a certain degree indi cate your character and you are judged by them. To be sure a boy may sometimes be gruff otft- wardly who has a kind heart but you will find that that kind heart H11 keep him from being boorish; and yet how much better he would succeed in the world if his" manners wTere more gracious and cordial ! The learned metaphysi cian, Locke, was writing about his son's education to Lord Peterbor ough. He said : "Your Lordship would have your son a thorough scholar, but I would have mine wrell bred and well tempered. " First impressions go a great ways. It is Veil known that the polite youth who applies for a sit uation has much in his favor. An employer soon learns to notice all externals and to judge the inner spirit by them. It is said that men succeed almost as well 'in life by their manners as by their talents. A clergyman whom the writer knew, who had no talent for preaching, but was remarka bly kind and affable in manners, has built up a large church and has now a wealthy congregation, while a more talented preacher but with no graciousness of man ner has failed in several churches. The perfect manner is one of ease, altogether unaffected and self-forgetful. In order to ac quire this you must make it your home manner. It is said that good manners are neither more nor less than beautiful behavior. Politeness is kindness. The po lite boy refrains from annoying others, and endeavors to contrib ute to the happiness of others. It is welt however, to read some thoroughly good book on etiquette so as to know the rules which govern polite society, for some day, though you may be poor now, your lot may be cast among cultured people or among people who consider a breach of etiquitte almost a crime. Though your heart may be kindly and your manners affable, you do not want to be guilty of a rudeness born of ignorance. But whila you are striving' to be a perfect gentleman, never forget that it is of far more im portance to be a consecrated Christian. Beside that every thing else pales. Take Christ as your model in all your deeds and words and thoughts. Then in deed will your manners be ier fect Irene Widdemer Hartt in Christian Work. The cleanness and purity of one's mind is never better proved than in discovering its own faults at first view.- Pope.

While they are cooking, take one pint of flour, one teacupful each of salt and sugar, wet with enough water to make a smooth paste, pour over it two quarts of boiling water, and cook till it looks clear like starch. Pass through a colander mto a two-gallon jar. When the potatoes are well done, pass through the colander,, too, also the water in wiiich they are boiled. Fill the jar within a finger's mixture is lukewarm, stir in lour flried veast-cakes that have been . , -it - el previously soaked (or a pint of white scum rises to me. top, it is ready to use. Cover, and set away in a cool, dark place. For four three-pint-basin loaves, take three pints of the yeast no oth er wetting stir in a batter, and in an hour it is light pnough to mold into a loaf. If this is cov ered with an inverted pan, no touirh crust will form. When light mold only enough to shape into loaves. They are light enough to bake when no dent re mains from the pressure of the finger on the surface. In winter, warm the flour; in summer it is not necessary. I learned a kind of yeast in years agone , which was styled "Lightning yeast' and it was true to its name. 1 In the general outlines of the recipe given above, ray yeast was similar; and 'many a time have I had my bread ail nicely baked in just four hours from the time the compound was brought from the, fcellar and kneaded into loaves.
