Etiquette Ofthe Table.

Harper's Bazar enlightens an Inex-
perienced housekeeper" as follows
The etiquette of the table depends
greatly upon the style Of life of the
host and hostess. 4 formal dinner of
the fashionable world is now mostly Ser
we'd Ia R1ssse. The table is adorned
solely with fruits and flowers, and the
dishes are all cut up at a side table, and
served by the servants to each guest, who
Of course is not expected to take every
thing offered to him. On more familiar
occasions, where the various meats and
vegetables are placed upon the table, it
is customary for the host and hostess to
consult the wishes of a guest before
serving him, in regard to the main dish
es but the vegetables are all handed
round by the servants. The bread
should be placed within the napkin at
the side of each person. 1t would not
be proper to make all the others wait
until one is served with everything he
may require. A brisk waiter will man
age to supply the ct ceteras to those
who may require them in the intervals Of
the carving. The salt, pepper, ETC., are
generally placed in easy reach; and as
for butter, that, if used at all, should
be kept at side table, or only placed at
dinner with the cheese. A servant
should pass a glass, knife and fork, a
spoon or plate always on salyer, but
this is not necessary when handling the
side dishes, etc, to the guests. 1t is
not customary to solicit apersOn to take
together two such articles as "pie and
pudding" and milk toast and mullins. :"
Both may be passed at different times
By servant, or the choice between the
two offered by the hostess. If so unfor-
tunate a contretemps happen that the
hostess be obliged to leave her guests,
she must do it quietly ss possible, whis-
periug her excuses to her nearest friend
at the table, who if necessary, can soften
the awkward incident by some graceful
explanation.

TURKEY AND TIE TUBKS.

Rev. Ireneus Prime, who enjoys the
reputation Of being not only as the most
literal and comprehensive, but the most
agreeable writer upon Eastern social
life and scenery, is this winter giving an
interesting lecture on Turkey and the
Turks, of which We copy sketch from
the Brooklyn Eagle
Turkey is already, the speaker re-
marked, engaging the attention of the
whole civilized world, and her present
misunderstanding with Greece brings
together at the present moment in Paris
a congress Of the representatives of the
Great Powers of Europe but it is not
in Turkey itself they are SO much inter
ested; that small island of Crete causes
the excitement. What does France,
England; Prussia or the others care
about Turkey? The question is will
Greece and Turkey go to war !? for if
they do, it is well known that Russia
with her immense armies will come down
on the Turks, take Oonstantinople and
have full command of the Black Sea-
That is now what brings the powers to-
gether in Paris, for they are afraid of
Russia and are anxious to prevent any
extension Of her territory or increase Of
power.
Mr.. Prime then went on to picture
Constantinople, and gave. most vivid
description Of his visit to the seraglio of
the Sultan. His attention was especially
directed to one doorway in particular,
which was a richly ornamented one, and
very pleasant for visitors to look at.
1t opened on the banks Of Bosphorus,
and through it were not unfrequently
brought offending wives OF His Majesty,
who were tied up in sacks, and in this
ignominieus manner thrown into the
Bosphorous and drowned. The streets
Of Gonstantinople are narrow, and the
houses low. Dogs are in abundance, and
to be met with at every point; for that
animal is a very important individual in
Turkey, being held almost sacred by the
Turks.
Or. Prime went on to give his expert
ences Of a Turkish bath, which is a
peculiar institution of the country, and
not to have suffered one was not to be
there, for when in Rome you must do as
the Romans do so in Turkey one must
also do as the Turks do. The Turks al.
though always washing, are scarcely ever
clean; washing is more form with
them, and they 60 through it most reg
ularly without any benefit or improve
ment to their appearance. No matter
how often they wash, they are still
greasy, and the odor from them is any
thing but agreeable. There are great
many bathing houses and these estab-
lishments are as plenty in Constantinople
as hotels are here, There are two
kinds, one for women and another for
men. The floors are of marble, and
around the sides of the rooms are placed
most luxurious divans, which with the
soft air Of the place is sufficient to IN
duee the languid to repose.
Catering the bath, the frst room is
agreeably warm, and here one unmakes
their toilet and is supplied with > tur-

Women and Children

Pythagoras said that only good things
were to be predicted of women, since
they we're the mothers of ornaments, Of
conversation and Of confidence, and that
he who invented names, perceiving that
women were adapted to piety and friend
ship, gave to each of their ages the name
of some deity-to a maiden, Core or
Prosperine, to a bride, Nymphe, to a
mother, Mater, to grandmother, aecor-
ding to the Dorian dialect, Maia, and in
accordance with the like persuasion, the
oracles we're always unfolded unto light
by women. Tacitus tells us that the
northern nations also held women IN
high esteem, believing ladies had
something divine about them, and this
faith has destended to men Of the Saxon
