Touch Not.


Appletons' journal lays down law of
social usage in the following paragraph
which is too little understood or is
treated with insufficient respect, espe-
cially in public vehicles and places of
resort: According to current anec-
dote lady, whom policeman had
taken by the elbow to conduct across the
street, turned to him and said, "Sir, if
l wish you to touch me Pll ask you.o If
this response to the pOliceman's atten-
tions seems little ungracious it is not so.
Inc officer was only performing duly
for which he was selected and he bad no
right 10 presume upon his position 30 far
as to take the least familiarity with
either lady or gentleman tor whom his
services were required. 1t is not pO-
licemen alone who are guilty of this yul-
gar habit OF taking people by the arm or
shoulder. Car conductors not only seize
people by the elbow in the entrance to or
exit from the car, but are i'll the common
habit OF touching each passenger upon
the shoulder when demanding hts tare.
1t Is not TOO much to say that any gen.
tleman who found himself rudely
touched in this way would be justified
In knocking the man down and equally
justified in resenting such a familiarity
to any lady. And yet conductors and
POLICEMEN are llOt SO IuuCu W Ulduc do
their employers are: These men err
through their ignorance; many OF them
indeed would be amazed to learn that
there is anything wrong or disagreeabIe
IN putting their hands upon others when
no violence is intended. They have not
been educated in those canons OF breed
ing that teach the respect and reserve
due TO others, and do not understand
that ladies and gentlemen with high
sence OF personal dignity can not permit
any one 70 lay their hands upon them.
Hence it is the business OF those who
place men in official positions to instruct
them i'll all de alls as to their conduct.
SO long as this Is not done it would be
well iOr every lady who finds herself ia
miliarly handled in the way we have
mentioned to resent the indignity in
some such manner as in the instance we
have quoted, and Tor every gentleman
also to utter his protest in similarly
quiet but etfectual style.

.lCare for Consumption.

1.-The head of "Pnlmonary Gym.
.astics," DR.. Burg, of Paris, has pub
lished the following curious disserta-
tion, which contains advice which may
be useful to such persons as are afflicted
with weakness OF the chest. He begins
with stating the question fairly: "Are
declamations, singing and, above all,
wind instruments dangerous exercises
for persons OF weak or delicate consti-
tutions, and more or less predisposed by
birlh to serious diseases of the respira-
tory organsp" Most physicians, he OBJ
serves, will answer in the affirmative;
he takes the contrary ground. supported
by what we deem startling evidence.
DR.. Burg, it may be remembered, was
the first who proposed copper as a spe-
cifc in cholera, on the ground that work
men constantly handling that metal had
traversed the. epidemic OF 1849 with i'm
puDlty. In order to establish this fact
he had visited a variety OF large work
shops, and among others those of man.
utacturers Ut wind instruments. On
one oil these occasions NJ. Sax gave him
the following information, which we
here repeat almost word lOr word: "Be.
sides choleraic immunity, our workmen
enjoy an0tner--they are free from con.
sumption. Many philanthropists on
seeing our young mlllIary MUSICIANS
WELD the enormous instruments we
make have sorrowed over the few years
those poor fellows would have to live.
Well, they are mistaken. All men who
make it their procession, to try wind in
strumen.s made at the various factories
before sending them off for sale, all,
without exception, to my knowledge, are
free from pulmonary affections. l have
known many such who, upon entering
upon their profession, were very deli
cate, and who, though their duty obliged
them TO blow lor hours together, enjoyed
perfect health alter certain time.
am myself an instance of this. My
mother died of consumption; eight chill.
dren OF hers iell victims to the same dis.
ease, and only three Of us survive, and
we all three play on wind instruments.
The day is not tar distant, perhaps,
when physicians will have recourse to
our dreaded art in order to conquer pul.
monary diseases"

The Strictest of the Monks.

The abbots OF Mount Mihary in Ire
land, Sept F0nds in France, and Marias-
tern in Turkey, all monasteries of the
Trappist order of monks, have decided
to purchase land in Maryland to estab-
lish a house in the United States, and
have appointed as their agent Brother
Francis de Sales, who will probably pre-
sent his credentials to to the Archbishop
of Baltimore, and be formally received
into that diocese.
The order OF Trappists is the severest
of their VOWS, and dispensation is given
to speak only when necessity demands
it, or to those few OF the brothers who
hold offices in the monastery which de-
mand occasional conversations. They
are not allowed meat, eggs, butter,
cheese. fish or oil. They sleep on har-
row beds Vt straw, raised q few inches
from the ground. They dig and refill,
and dig again and refill from time to time
their own graves as reminder OF their
mortality. They rise hours before dawn,
and after prayer and meditation, be-
take themselves to their respective en-
pigments. Among them are black.

farmers, dairy men, and millwrights. The

crued from the industry Of their mem-
bers. These monks ask no charity, and
consequently Brother Francis de Sales
was able to say that he has not jour-
neyed to America with a subscription
list. He asserted that the monastery of
Sept Fonds, in France, alone offered to
defray the expenses Of the new mission

Changing the Color OF the Hair.

A correspondent says one OF the most
curious features about Saratoga beauty
is It's wonderful mutabiiity. You have

whether it was smoothed or not, the fact
remains that the hair was OF an eXqui.
