Easy Manners.

Recent events have called public
attention to the intimate relation of
morals and manners. 1t may be said
that there is no greater peril to morality
than much that is called merely free and
easy manners. Young men, and even
young women, permit themselves a
Having having all the aspect OF improSr;ss,rr'
may very readily acquire its substance.
Edward addresses Emily with loud
and jesting intimacy of tone and con-
duct, which might be expected in the
sailor saloons of Water street or Wap-
ping, but which is repulsive and Odious
i'm the drawing-room or among refined
and gentle persons. Edward and Emily
would be amazed to be told that they
have not the manners of a gentleman or
of lady, and have the air of the demi-
monde. They think that they are es-
pecially CONNIE IL fduf, and that above all
others they know what is the rule of
high society. But they are merely vul-
gar, and have the manners of those who
are worse than merely vulgar. Coarse
ness can not be gilded into refinement.
The young woman who habitually calls
her young friends of the other sex by
their Christian names, or who suffers
any thing that can be called familiarity,
although it fall short of actual inde-
eorum, should reflect carefully. ''Sir, ~

The following on London is from q
recent number of the Leisure Hour ::
The metropolis of the British Empire.
the largest city the world ever saw,
covers within fifteen miles radius of
Charing cross, nearly 700 square miles,
and numbers within these boundaries
4,OOO.0O0 of inhabitants. 1t comprises
100, 900 foreigners from every region of
the globe. 1t contains more jews than
the whole of Palestine, more Roman
Catholics than Rome itself, more Irish
than Dublin. more ScOtchmen than Ed
inburgh. The port of London has
every day on its waters 1000 ships and
1000 sailors. Upward of 100 persons
are added to the population daily, or
10000 yearly, birth taking place every
five minutes, and a death every eight
minutes. On an average, % miles OF
streets are opened, and 1900 new hOu-
ses built every year. In its postal dis
tricts there is yearly delivery of 23s,
O0O, 900 of letters. On the police reg
lister there are the names of 1901 600 ha-
bItual criminals, increasing by many
thousands every year. More than one
third of all the crime of the country is
committed in London, or at least
brought to light there. There are as
many beer-shops and gin-places as
would, if their fronts were placed side
by side, reach from Charing Cross to
Portsmouth, distance of seventy
three miles, and 5000 drunkards are
annually brought before its magis-
trates. The shops open on Sundays
would form streets sixty miles long.
1t is estimated that there above ,OO0,
600 of the people who are practically
heather, wholly neglecting the ordi-
nances of religion. At least 900 ad.
ditional churches and chapels would
be required for the wants of the people.

The soldier In service.

The best strategical operations will
be marred if the boots are bad; a
swampy and ill-made half-mile of road
may, by hindering the supplies of an
army, delay its most important move
ments; while the inattentiOn of the
cooks in keeping the wood dry may, by
preventing the troops from having their
proper food, mar their efficiency at a
crisis when their utmost exertiOns are
needed. The existence of soldier in
barracks and in garrison is so artificial
that to some extent his mind becomes
impregnated with ideas that are not
military; he takes narrow views of his
duties. and requires rOusing up by life
more resembling that which campaign
would present to him. He has to learn
that the power of enduring hardships
is one of the chief excellences of good
soldier. That bis body must be in good
condition, not weakened by drink or
dissipation that boots and socks must
be i'm good order, the former broad
sOled and easy not such as he would like
to walk about in, in his garrison town
that, cOute que eOute, he must take care
of his arms; that, in order to be ready
for the early rereilte, sound sleep and
consequent quiet in the camp are i'm
pOTtant utSlutIdtd thtt Soou eShpc,'
and the art of looking at matters with
cheerful aspect are qualities which
make man popular with bis comrades,
and that many a regulation which he
has hitherto looked on as meaningless,
and consequently irritating, has an in
tention which camp-life plainly de-
mcnstrates. The art of pitching tent
is not learned in one lesson the proper
method of constructing the kitchens is
only acquired after practical experience
in all winds and weathers.--BldckuoOd s

Different Kinds Of Laughter.

The language of laughter is Curl
GUS study. 1t expresses almost every
passion. human and iphuman. Some
laughs are catching. Everybody has
them just by hearing them. They are
the most contagious complaints in the
world. Others have no character at all.
and have been described as "the crack
ling of thOrns under a pot" Never
think you have the complete measure
of man till yOu have heard him laugh.
1t may betray in an instant what he
would not disclose in thousand words.
A hard, dry laugh is sort of geologist.
1t detects the streak of iron hidden IN
the laughter. Every person knows
somebody with scattering laugh, but
gentlemen never spatter only indiridn-
ais. Earnestness and laughter do not
belong together. Nature never laughs,
though one of the HOwitts says OF
Australian soil, "YOu tickle it with the
hoe, and it laughs with the harvest"
But Nature is always earnest. She
seems to smile, but she never laughs.
The most contemplate of the whole
cachinnation nation is the gigRle. Iou
always feel like strangling it, and wish
it had been with the unhappy little
Princess in the Tower. 1t IS worse
than a utter, for it is nOisier. 1t Is
worse than a sneer. You can kick
sneer, but you cannot kick . giggle
any more than you can make footballs
of SOAP bubbles.

Charcoal Dealers in Paris.

The dealers in fuel are a people pc
culiar to this city. The room occupied
for store purposes is often no larger
than a goOd-sized closet. The stock
in trade consist of a quarter of a cord
or so of stove wood, cut up into small
pieces, bushel or two of charcoal,
and few packages of kindliDg. wood.
The seeming scarcity of fuel Is not
without purpose. Il indicates that
economy for which these people are
noted.
In all Paris households there are
from two to four sizes of cooking stoves
or furnaces. Only the fire necessary
to produce a certain result is created.
As, for instance, should Madame de-
sire a cup of tea, the servant prepares
it the smaller furnace. a handfull OF
charcoal being sufficient. These Mar
chaRds de Charlton are never idle. when
business is dull they are engaged. per-
haps in mending old boots, or in pick
ing over the ends of cigars, or in some
other occupation of profit. Early 10
the evening they close their shop and
seek their favorite cafe. just as their
aristocratic neighbors do.

4 LIVELY LADY GIVES IT LIVELY rrs<1r.

l know that a mans nose is a very
delicate subject to handle, and not 8
very nice one, but it has been for so
long nuisance that it is time some one
took up pen to stop the noise.
Why is it, that, just at the moment
when you are walking out with the one
you love best, and your whole soul is
inflamed melted, softened by the melody
of loving words and the clear moonlight,
some one behind or before or beside you
blows all those delicious sensations to
the antipodes by one Of those horrible
blasts? Why is it that, at public, and
sometimes at a private table, some on&
invariably takes out his handkerchief
generally a col0red One-and blows all
your appetite away? Why at funeral
you feel like laughing, as some horrid
sound like this breaks in upon the
preachers discourse so inopportunely
that you are taken by surprise? This
is not altogether sin confined to men
alone, for have seen many women who
wouldn't eat enough to satisfy their
hunger, for fear that some one would
think them indelicate, blow so nd like
French horn.
and she always put me out in nv reci-
tations, just because she would blow n
If sounding battle-cry, every time she
went into class.
There's no sense in il. For all intents
and purposes, one-tenth Of the eXpendi-
ture of muscular force would amply
suffice, and our nerves would not suffer.
And another thing, it spOils the nose,

Plea for Actresses.

IL the dramatic profession is one
which il is disgraceful for any lady to
adopt, reason cOmpels us to say that no
lady ought to enter a theatre at all.
And social inconsistency is still more
strongly brought out, when we reject
how excessively popular are amateur
theatricals, and to what a professional
extent they are carried. There are
several private houses in England,
which possess a regular theatre, where
every theatrical cOntrivance and stage
maintenance are to be found, and
where performances are repeated night
after night, to which friends, tenants.
and trades people are in turn invited as
spectators. Nobody thinks there Is any
harm in this, and as simple matter OF
fact there is DO harm. Ladies, in the
highest sense of the term. eagerly and
brilliantly assist in these performances,
which are rapidly becoming public IN
every way; for we know that ladies
often act in private theatres to promls-
cuous audiences who pay their money
for admission. Why, then, should edu-
Gated ladies who are born with the
dramatic instinct strong in them, but
have no other future to look forward
TO. except, perhaps, a prize in the matrl-
m0nial market, be debarred from adopt
ing the stage as profession ! Surely
il is as honorable to work for liveli.
hood with God given talents as to sell
a handsome face to wealthy sultor.
Surely it is not less worthy OF clever
woman to teach adults, from the stage,
what thew are and what they ought to
be. than to inculcate the rudIments OF
education in the schOolrOOm. Surely.
If the theatre is a place to which we
NAV take our wives and daughters with
immunity, we should desire that the
actresses whose art they are to witness
should be in their turn women contact
with whom they should have no cause
tn shrink from. Is it not crying
shame, and disgrace to the liberal and
enlightened age in which it is our boast
| TO live, what when gentlemen OF birth
and education find it necessary to adopt
the stage as theirprOfession, they should
also find it necessary to change their
names. as if they were doing something
of which society thinks they ought to
he ashamed Those who are practically
acquainted with the profession know
by bitter experience the toll, the hard
Sims, the drudgery, the disappolnt-
ments that have to be gone through in
wears of hardest work, before a sub
stantial position can be gained; and
soeiety. for whose intellectual amuse-
ment and intelligent recreation the
theatre exists, should warmly and
heartily recognize the labOrs and efforts
of those upon whom it depends SO much,
and do alf in its pOwer-and it can do a
great deal-to elevate and encourage
ali who possess true dramatic genius

Perhaps one of the most positive
proofs that we have of the souls indie
pendence of the body is our great need
of love and of something to love. Were
we mere animals, creatures doomed to
perish after few brief years of life in
this world, that which contents the
brute would also content us. To eat
and sleep well, to have an easy time of
it, would be enough. As il is, We may
have all these things, and health to en-
joy them, and yet be utterly wretched.
Neither can mental food satisfy us.
'.Some one to love" is our hearts cry.
When the atmosphere of tenderness is
about US, we rejoice; when people are
harsh or unkind, we suffer. We begin
life, wishing to love all people, and be-
lieving that they love US Experience
hardens US. Our dear ones grow fewer
but as long as reason lasts, we must love
some one, we must AT least imagine
that some one loves us. The parents,
sisters aad brothers. tb~t eha-ished
friend whom We promise 10 cherish I'M
ill death parts us-these come into our
lives and fill them up. Afterward come
the little children, frail, helpless babies
who need our care so much, and friends
TO whom we are not kin, yet who grow
dear to us.-Some have many loved ones
and some but one. God help those who
have none though they are generally to
blame for their empty for
kindness will win love. They are al
ways wretched, they often show their
craving for something to love by cher
ishing some dumb animal-a dog, a
kitten, a parrot-perhaps, on which
they lavish caresses, which better spent
would have bound some human heart
to theirs.-Pride or morbid sensitive
ness may have been at the bottom OF
their loneliness, and these pets of theirs
fill the aching void little. Some one
to love. 1t is the cry of the hnman
soul, the note to which every heart re-
spends, the bond which will bind Us all
together in that other world where
mOurners shall be comforted aud love
shall reign forever.
