To bare the head was originally an
act of submission to gods and rulers.
A bow is modified prostration. A
lady's courtesy is a modified genufiec-
ton. Rising and standing are acts OF
homage; and when we wave our hand
to a friend on the opposite side OF the
street, we sre unconsciously initiating
the Romans. who used to stand before
the images Of their gods solemnly nov
ing the right hand to the lips and out,
as If TO cast kisses. Again, men re
move the glove when they shake hands
with lady, custom evidently OF
feudal origin. The knight removed
his own gauntlet, the pressure Of which
would be too severe for the palm OF a
fair chatelaiae, and the custom, which
began in necessity has travelled down
to us as a point OF etiquette. Each
n ton has its own method Of saluta-
tion. In Southern Africa it is the Gus
toms to rub toes. In Lapland your
friend rubs his nose against yours. The
Turk folds his arms upon his breast
and bows very low. The Moor Of Mo-
rocco rides at a ga a'op towards stran-
ger, as though he would unho.se him,
and when close at hand suddenly halts
and fires a pistol over the persons
head. The Egyptian asks you "7Iow
do you perspireyn and lets his hand fall
to his knees. The Chinese bows low
and inquiries, Have you eaten your
rice The Spaniard says, God be
with you, sir" or How DO you standyn
and the Neapolitan piously remarks,
"Grow in holiness. The German asks,
"IIow goes itY" and the Frenchman
bows profoundly and inquiries, "IIow
do you carry yourself?" Foreigners
are given to embracing, and in France
and Germany the parent kisses his
grown-up son ON the forehead, men
throw their arms around the necks OF
their friends, and brothers embrace
like lovers. 1t is n curious sight to
Americans, with their natural preju-
dices against publicity i'm kissing. In
England and America there are three
methods of salutation-the bow, the
handshake and the kiss. The bow Is
the proper method OF salutation between
acquaintances in public, and should
never be mere nod, but when made
by a gentleman to a lady should be ac-
companied by the removal Of the hat
from the head and the cigar from the
lips. In regard 10 the handshake, eti-
quette is simple. A man has no right
to take lady's hand until it is offered.
lie has even less right 10 pinch or re-
tain it. A lady should always rise to
give her hand; gentleman, of course,
never dares TO do so seated. There
are several varieties Of the kiss-that OF
respect on the hand; that Of friendship,
on the cheek and forehead; and the
lovers kiss, which, it is needless to
say is never paraded in public.

TaDby's Curiosity Satisfied.

The Virginia New Enterprise tells
this affecting story: Charles Kaiser,
who has the only hive of bees in town,
says that when he first got his swarm his
old cats curiosity was MUCK excited in
regard 20 the doings of the little insects,
the like of which she had never before
seen. AT first she watched their COM
ings and goings at distance. She then
flattened herself upon the ground, and
crept along toward the hive, with tail
horizontal and quivering. 1t was clear
ly evident that she thought the bees
some new kind of game. Finally she
took upa position at the entrance to
the hive, and when a bee came in or
started out, made dab at it with her
paws. This went on for time without
attracting the special attention of the
inhabitants of the hive. Presently.
however, 'old Tabby' struck and crushed
n bee on the edge of the opening to the
hive. The smell of the crushed bee
alarmed and enraged the whole swarm.
Bees by the score poured forth and
darted into the fur of the astonished
cat. Tabby rolled herself in the grass,
splitting, biting, clawing and squalling
rs cat never squalled before. She APP
peared mere ball of fur and bees as
she rolled and tumbled about. She was
ut length hauled away from the hive
with garden rake, at the cost of seve-
raj severe stings to her rescuer. Even
after she had been taken to distant
part of the grounds the bees stuck in
Tabby's fur, and about once in two min
utes she would utter an unearthly
'yowl and bounce full yard in the air.
On coming down she would try to
scratch an ear, when sting on the back
would cause her to turn succession OF
back somersaults and keep up a running
fire of squalls. Like the parrot that was
left alonewith the monkey old Tabbyhad
dreadful time. Two or three days after
this adventure Tabby vas caught by her
owner, who took her by the neck and
threw her down near the beehive. No
sooner did she strike the ground than
she gave fearful squall, and at asingle
bounl reached the top of fence full
six feet in height. There she clung for
moment, with tail as big as a rolling
pin, when with another bound and
squall she was out OF sight, and did mol
again put i'm an appearance for over a
week."

Seasoning and DishIng.

A cook may give due heed to length
OF time in cooking, may guard from the
effects of too much or too little fire, and
yet fail of success after all. 1t requires
almost genius to use seasonings per-
fectly. Take salt, for instance: many
never add it to the boiling water Of
vegetables. A boiled potato never re-
covers from such treatment. Nothing
compensates it for the thorough sailing
it should have had at a very early stage
at its cooking. 1t is nearly as bad with
squashes, beans, turnips and onions
Anything that is mashed should be
thoroughly mashed and thoroughly
stirred. Some vegetables will bear to
be dished up and stand for few min
utes; others are nearly ruined. II one
is obliged TO keep potatoes long after
the water is poured of, it is much BET
ter not to remove them from the kettle.
Anything liquid, like peas and toma
toes, can be kept comfortably i'm COW
cred dishes on tie hot water tank, or
some similar place.
Extreme nicely in dishing should be
scrupulously observed. II you stir .
gravy thickening in the gravy bowl it
self, the -four will surely tell the tale
DO your seasoning before you put the
food in the appropriate dishes. 1t il
better not to use salt and pepper quite
up to your own taste unless you are
sure of the tastes of ali the family.
Almost every one likes extra fiavors
in meats, and yet comparatively few
cooks go beyond salt and pepper. An
ounce OF bay leaves from the druggist
costs but trifIe, and win last for
months. Half leaf adds delightful
flavor to boiled or stewed beef, while to
soups and gravies it is invaluable
Thyme, summer savory, majoram. and
sage may he raised easily i'm ones own
garden. Curry is a great addition to
any kind of poultry. In making q
dressing of bread or crackers. use an
egg to give firmness. For veal dress
ing, use little nutmeg and little
grated lemon peel. Put sage ia pork
dressing, onions In duck, oysters in tur-
key. The perfection of fiavoring is not
to give one strong taste, but q delicate
blending Of several.

Among Polar Bears.

Three of the crew of the steamship
exciting adventure at the Greenland
sea fishery this season. During the
time that their vessel was fast beset
among the ice, three of the crew
Thomas Royall, Wolverhampton; james
Winter, Peterhead, and William Multi
gan. Dundee-set out one day to pay a
visit to the ship Perseverance, of Peter
head, which lay apparently about four
miles distant. A fter walking about
two miles it was seen that the distance
between the two ships had been mis-
judged, and that in reality they were six
miles apart, and the dangerous nature
of the journey began to dawn upon the
seamen when they realized how far they
were from any vessel, the sealing clubs
being the only weapons with which they
were armed. They deliberated whether
it would not he the best course to return
to their ship. One of the trio insisted
on making the. journey. while the 9TH
ers were OF the opinion that they should
give up the attempt.
In the midst of the debate she bear,
with one cub, arrived, and us she was
fast coming up between the men and
their ship, the only chance of escape
was to run on in the hope of reaching
the Perseverance. When the men took
10 their heels the bear quickened her
pace, and i'm "A short time was close upon
the sailors.
To attempt to face the animal with
their clubs was useless, and, according
ly, one by one OF the men took portions
of their clothing and threw them on the
ice. In this way the progress of the
bear was retarded, as bruin stopped to
snuff and tear at each of the articles as
she came up TO them. by this statagem
the men were enabled to keep a little
ahead for about two miles. They had
parted with most of their clothing, one
of them having nothing but his pants, a
cravat, and woolen shirt upon him.
He had retained possession of his club,
and fastening his cravat to the end of
the weapon. he waved it as a signal Of
distress, and fortunately the attention
of the crew OF the Perseverance was at
tracted to the perilous position of the
three seamen. Several of the crew of
the Perseverance Immediately set out,
armed with guns, and, after running
about mile. they came up TO the three
men, just in time TO save them, as they
had almost no clothing left, and were
exhausted with the chase.
The bear and her cub were so close
behind that the rescuers had no difficulty
i'm dispatching them with several bull
lets. The following morning the three
sailors returned To the Intrepid. They
were escorted part OF the way by a num-
Der of the crew OF the Perseverance,
and the male bear having been seen in
the vicinity, apparently OH the lookout
for the she-bear and her cub, he was
likewise killed.

The members Of the Philo-W Wash
ington Literary Society are making
extensive preparations for public en-
tertainment, to be given some time
next month.
While Mr.. John Clark was moving
some lumber from the brink of the
river bank into the mill, the truck on
which he was moving it suddenly
started down the track. In attempt
ing to check it, he was thrown from
his feet and crowded against the bank,
and one of the wheels striking his
left leg near the knee, the truck was
checked. From this unpleasant stu
alton he was soon released, and it
was found that his leg was severely
bruised. 1t could not have been
otherwise-the wonder is that he es-
capped so easily.
Yesterday at noon, party of about
twenty five young ladies and an equal
number of young men, assembled, un-
premeditatively, on the picturesque
Alum Rock, mile and a half east
of this place. Although Decoration
Day, none of them visited the Rock
to decorate soldiers graves, as there
is no burial ground in the vicinity
but the Indians, which is few hun
bred yards to the north. Toplay was
the first thing to do after resting, and
at it they all w,nt, with evident relish,
beneath the shade of the oaks that
grow along the edge of the Rocks.
Becoming tired OF this, they sepa
