A young and healthy msD should not
occupy more than two seats. Twice as
much room as an oId lady or gentleman
requires is enough for the cloak, band box

Courtipg should be dOuest home. The
world does not make a sufficient allowance
for amours 10 the cars. When people are
seen to be uucommouly sffectionate in the
cars The by.standers are apt to make re-
marks.
Ladies who must wear hoops in travel
I ing should not make them over two yards

with which they can bO conveniently
seated.
Gentlemen should not talk in the cars.

other places, les: they should iGjure Their
voices.
Children, who are three or four years
old, and in the habit Of crying for every
thing they see, without being punished
should be kept at home, until their parents
learn how to govern them. ..s

not be observed, then the tobacco puddIts

pulse to this enterprise was given by the
fame and success Of the great Exhibition

Hyde Park, Lotdon, from May to No

York Crystal Palace Association was orig.
inally three hundred thousand dollars, but
was increased, under an amsndment of the
charter, to five hundred thousand dollars.
All this was expended on the construction
Of the sdifce, and over two hundred dol.
