GRANDMOTHER’S RULES
Somebody's grandmother has bequeathed tr her descendants these admirable rules of conduct:— Always look at the person to whom you arc speaking. Look straight at the person who speaks to you. Speak your words plainly. I)o not mutter. If the words are worth saying they are worth pronouncing distinctly and clearly. Do not say disagreeable things. If you have nothing pleasant to say, keep silent. Think three times before you speak once. If you have something bard to do and would rather not do it. Do the l ard tiling first, get it over with. If you have done wrong to any person, go and confess it. It* your lesson is tough, master it. If your garden needs weeding go and <ln it and play afterwards. Do firq the thing you do not like to do and then with a clean conscience try the next.—Presbyterian Record.
