EtIuuette in Introduction.

Although it is an established rule Of etiquette
that persons meeting IN society are at liberty 70
speak without an introduction when they know
each other By sight, Americans 2rc not very Ike
IL 10 DO 50. however familiar they may be with
tie rule. While it deyolyes on the host and
hostess to introduce their guest. they cannot, Of
necessity. introduce more than . Part OF them /;
hence 0 Part Of the duty must fall upon the
guests themselves. The awkwardness, even the
annoyance Of repeatedly meeting men and women
with whose faces and names you are entirely
familiar, but to whom sou have not been intro
duced, is constantly observable in social circles.
The presumption that members OF the same call
inc or Of the same set always know each other 4
entirely unwarranted. Even should they know
each other, il can do no harm. II there be any
doubt in the introducer's mind to present them. It
IL easy to say :" suppose, Mrs. or Miss,
you are acquainted with Mr., or - No doubt,
Mr-,y ou have met Mr." If the parties
have been introduced, the offered courtesy vii!
not be superluous or embarrassing. tt they have
not been, the politenesS IS well-tImcd. The ab-
sence or neglect Of this attention has a tendency
to create n sort Of antagonism between persons
usually acquainted who have met again and again
without recognition. Each is inclined TO think
- He knows me very we'll, bat he will not speak
If he feels so, | am sure l will not be the one TO
speak first" We have known persons OF pro
minence, men particularly, 10 encounter one
another at parties and receptions through n whole
season without an introduction. Having many
friends in common, and being constantly thrown
together, the mistake is naturally made that they
are acquainted. Another bit of etiquette equally
well defined is that a lady, after a gentleman has
been introduced to her, should, on another meet
ing, recognize him first, it being her prerogative TO
drop the acquaintance if she sees fit. This bit of
etiquette, however, is apt to be ignored, women in
distinctly falling into the habit of waiting for men
TO take the initiative in recognition, as IN every
thing else. Women frequently complain Of the
disc0urtesy of men in this matter, while the latter
are merely observing the form Of courtesy which
etiquette has ordained.-Scribner's Monthly.

Is IT WORTH ?-Is it worth while to take
oil the sunshine out of life for the sake Of e. few
miserable dollars? Meat and groceries, and wood
and clothing are not all of life. If we restrict our
selves TO those, and shut out music and pictures,
and the hundred things that cultivate the aesthetic
side of our nature, we shsl be economical at the
cost of dwarfng our moral and intellectual nature.
And after We have done this for a long series of
years, and reached middle age with n fair balance in
the bank, we shall then find ourselves untitled to
then keep the dusty road so long that when We fin
ally turn aside into the groves and the brook-side,
our eyes will be in no condition to see the beauties
around US. Is it not better to live while We do live,
TO give some brightness and color 10 our daily lives,
even if by so doing we fail to increase our boarded
savings quite as rapidly as we otherwise might? Is
economy quite worth the sacrifice of everything that
makes life other than q dull and dismal d~rudgery ?
A wise expenditure of money for the good things of
life is really the best economy.

How He LOST THE OPPORTUNITY" Not long ago
q young man had a most favorable opportunity to
enter a business house, at a large increase over his
present salary, with q prospect of soon getting q
place in the firm. His recommendations were first
with his appearance. They, however, made him no
proposals, nor did they state their favorable impress
sions. A gentleman was requested to ascertain
where the young man spent his evenings, and what
class of young men were his associates. 1t was
found that he spent several nights of the week in a
billiard-room, and Sunday afternoon drove a hired
span into the country with three other young men.
He is wondering why he didn't hear from the house
concerning that coveted position.

While the Sioux chiefs were on a visit to their
:" Great Father" at Washington, it was noticed
that one or two of the number paraded strings of
white mems scalps at their belts. In New York
they made an unseemly display OF these trophies,
which Justly excited the indignation of many citi-
zens. The sealps were proof that these fellows
had been murderers, One local journal expresses
surprise that they were not accepted as such, and
feted. cast into prison to await trial for their
crimes. Tt was certainly improper for the agents
having the Indians in charge to allow any such
brutal exhibition.

More European Mystifcation.

We have had since the opening of the year a meet
ing of crowned heads at Venice and another at the
city on the Spree. The meeting at Venice was at
the time regarded with suspicion at the German
Capital. The meeting at Berlin is now supposed to
have averted a European war. As a matter of fact,
nothing is definitely known of the interior history of
either OF these august conferences. Emperors do
not " wear their hearts upon their sleeves for davis
to peck at "Semi-official organs do not speak
Of such high matters from positive knowledge, and
even full-hedged official organs - only speak the
lines set down in their parts. They never know all,
and they seldom say all that they know. The eager
curiosity of the outside world is fed upon such
crumbs as the premiers and grave ~dipIomatists see
fit 10 throw them. The idea given out in regard to
the Berlin meeting was that Germany was ready to
let slip the dogs of war, when the Car, backed I'D
by the moral influence" of England, put a veto
upon the movement And now We have the intima-
ton Of another meeting Of Emperors. This time it
is TO be at Ems; and Gar Alexander, Emperor
William and Emperor Francis Joseph are the parties
Emmanuel, being only a plain King, is not invited.
Poor France not being blessed with even so much
as a King, is not TO be represented. OF course the
meeting has a political significance. These august
personages do not go TO Ems simply to drink the
waters and take the benefit of the baths. Specala-
ton in regard to the objects of the conference is rife;
bnt the theories are not harmonious. 1t is surmised
in some quarters that a policy with reference TO the
relations of the civil TO the ecclesiastical power is to
be agree upon. Another suggestion is that the
% boundaries of the European powers are TO be con-
irmed." Another points 10 a. disarmament > as the
object in view. Some think that an international
Congress for the settlement of international disputes
is to be organized. Meantime no one knows any
thing definite about the matter, except the Emperors
themselves. and 1t is by no means impossible that
even they have as yet no very precise knowledge as
to what is to be the result of their consultations.

One Of the best ways TO test a SPIDERS ability to
get himself out Of a scrape, is to fill an ordinary
wash-bowl with water, take a stick and place it in
the centre of the bowl, and reaching some distance
above the water, put a spider on the top of the
stick. The insect will get himself away from his
isolated quarters in less than ten minutes, if undis-
turbed, and he won't wet his feet in the transit.
Try and gee how it's done.
