Sensible Etiquette.

Mrs. HI. G. Ward has written book
on Sensible Etiquette, and under the
caption of Breaches Of Good Manners
some Of the most common forms Of in
civility are touched upon.
Everywhere children are taught that
afectation and pretense are vulgarities:
that it is a vulgarity to yawn without
making some effort to suppress it, or
without concealing the mouth; to whis-
tie or hum in the presence Of older per-
sons, whether in railway cars or in hous-
es, or to make any monotonous noise
with the feet or hands, beating time,
etc.; to play with napkin rings, or with
any article at the table during meal
time; to pick the teeth with the fingers;
to cut or clean the nails outside of one s
dressing-room; to lounge anywhere in
the presence Of company; to place the
elbows on the table or to lean upon it
while eating; to take hold of persons or
to touch them with familiarity when
talking to them to speak of absent
persons by their first name when you
would not so address them if they were
present; to acquire the habit of saying
you know" says he and says she;"
to use slang words; to tattle; to scratch
the head or person; to whisper in COM
pany; to hide the mouth with the hand
when speaking; to point at any one or
anything with the finger; to stare at
persons; to laugh at ones own stories
or remarks; to toss articles instead of
handing them; and to take anything
without thanking the one who waits up
on you (excepting at table), be It super
ior, an equal or inferior. Everywhere,
also, children are taught that it is
rudeness to stand in the way without
instantly moving when another tries to
pass; not to say, beg pardon" when
you have in any way inconvenienced
some one; starting up suddenly and
rushing from the room without being
excused; going before older persons who
are entitled to precede you when leaving
room with them; leaving the table
with food in the mouth; taking possess
ion Of the seat that belongs to another
and not rising instantly upon his re-
turn; leaving anybody without saying
" goodbye" or giving, at least, a bow;
interrupting anyone in conversation;
contradicting, pushing or even coming
in contact with another unintentionally
without begging pardon from the seem
ing rudeness; want of punctuality; neg
lecting to answer letters and notes
promptly, especially those requiring in
formation; rediculing others; passing
anyone whom you know without speak
ing, with whom you are on speaking
terms; keeping the hat on in the pres
ence of lady; and many other equally
important things which are looked up
on in the same light everywhere.

Natures Freak.

The st. Benoit twins are two distinct
and separate organizations. They have
two perfectly formed and natural heads
and bodies as far as the last rib. Below
that the two bodies are fused into one.
Each has two arms, but only one leg.
When pin is thrust into the right leg
the right girl will cry, while the left girl
continues her previous occupation-gen-
orally a broad smile. Other expert
ments show that each of the twins is
entirely separated from the other, and
one may be sleeping while the other is
laughing. They have but one abdomen,
but the heart and upper intestines in
each are separate and independent.
The twins were born at St. Benoit,
about thirty miles from Montreal, Can,
where their parents and grandparents,
who are descended from the original
French settlers of the country, have re-
sided for nearly hundred years past.
They are seven months old, perfectly
healthy, handsome, and Judging from
appearances, have the same chance of
life as ordinary children. The parents
have one other child, a girl two years
old, entirely free from blemish, and the
present twins are the first instance ever
known of any " freak" of nature in the
family. One of the twins has been
christened Mary and the other Rosa.
Mary is slightly smaller than her sister,
and has darker complexion. One of
the physicians who examined the twins,
said on his professional honor to anoth-
er physician, that if they had been born
separately, one would have been boy
and the other girl.

The Shape Of q Dogs Nose.

the lathy man, but if you say that

was too drunk to tell lamp-post from

if you bet on it you'll back down or lose.

The crowd by this time had increased
to a jam, and was growing faster than a
bill of costs. @
The beefy man reiterated his opinion
in loud voice. and said he would wager
all his own property and everything he
could borrow on the correctness Of his
proposition.
The crowd grew larger and blocked up
the street. Those on the outer edge
stood on tip-toe, with opcn mouths and
eager eyes, looking at the backs Of 9th
ers and wondering what they were doing
there, and what it was all about
The lathy man glanced around at the
crowd, winked at the beefy man and
said:
:" l guess thatll do, Sam; save the

a box which had not been noticed, he
held up bottle and put his lungs at
work:

Every man in the crowd said "Sold!"
and suddenly lost all further interest in

A New England Ranchman.

FROM the austin (IeX.) statesman.
John w. Lewis and VIM. B. Ellis, the
latter of Boston and the first from Pitts
burg, have here 500 cattle bought to or
ganize a ranch in Callahan county.
They are resting that the skin may
peel from their sunburnt f"ces. The
Boston youth, Mr.. Ellis, b become a
skillful rider after FIVE n this on the
plains, but doesn't know much even
yet of the morals and idiosyncracies of
Texas bulls. He has been on the plains
till he looks like roasted banana, and
of course had not heard how a mad bull
Of San Antonio whipped and gored to
death two lions. Yesterday two bulls
in the midst of herd were fighting ter
ri6cally and the smaller was in a bad
way. Mr.. Ellis, on horseback, rushed
to the rescue, when the larger bull lift
ed the mustang Ellis was riding on his
horns and tossed him aside, his entrails
protruding from his flank. Ellis barely
escaped, and only because he was un-
seen by the enraged animal. He says
he didn't feel bigger than old Grant or
any other man, and that its more COM
Portable to fish around Nahant and eat

The Princess Of Wales.

From "Scenes in Hyde Park" London.
A single mounted policeman is seen
approaching, and as he comes line is
formed up the center of the drive; he is
soon followed by a simple Victoria,
drawn by gray horses, seated in which
is the Princess of Wales with three Of
the young Princesses, her daughters
two on the seat beside her, one on her
knee, pretty. charming sight. The
princess looks lovely, as young as ever;
everything about her is trim and neat;
a tight-6tting costume, with ruff high
up around her neck, and the little Prin-
cesses in sailor hats. It is etiquette not
to trouble the Princess with much par
ticular notice when driving in the park,
but SO endeared has she become to every
heart that the rule has to be broken
through, and ladies bow and smile and
gentlemen take off their hats as she
passes, and in turn all receive . kindly
recognition from this truly angelic Prin-
cess. This occurs every afternoon.
Year after year the interest increases,
her reward for truly loving nature.

Artist and Critic In Conflict.
Chicago Journal.

At an art exhibition in city gallery
not long since, critic stepped up so
close to the work of particularly y-sen-
sitive artist that the latter was led to
exclaim, with considerable petulance:
"Oh, stick your nose right out and
smell of itw
The critic, not at all nonplussed, did
as requested, and, turning to the spec
tators, with nod of his head, coolly re-
marked:
"Yes, it smells like painting'
1t is feared that nothing short of pis-
tolls and coffee will ever satisfy the
cravings for carnage which this little
episode has engendered between the two
parties.

How Lies are Built.
Iowa Falls Sentinel.

The question is, who started the lies?
1t is impossible to tell, and no one
knows. Simply this is the truth re-
garding such things: A tells B what he
or she heard, and B retails it to G, with
the addition of cupola; G tells it and
adds wing 16x2O, and D puts onporch-
es and piazzas, until the building Of
scandal does not at all resemble the
modest house that Jack A built. Peo-
ple-some people, are curious beings.
A story that kills character is to them
a juicy bit of meat, and their jaws wag
spontaneously. At the great judgment
day, the very first batch of souls that
will be sent to hell will be the SANDER
ers and scandal-mongers. It will be
necessary to put them at the bottom,
with all the rest Of the sinners on top,
in order to keep any kind Of peace in
the big pot.

The Bonanza ssBOss. "
From the Paris Figaro.

Who is the richest man in the world
is no longer an enigma!
1t was only fit that Paris should this
year number among her guests Mr..
John William Mackay, of Virginia
City, United States, and that it's Exhi-
bition should be visited by the most
powerful representative on record of
the kingdom Of gold and silver. Born
in Dublin in 1885, Mr. Mackay went to
America when quite a youth, and
was first employed in large ship build
ing house in New York. Toward the
end of 1852, soon after the discovery of
gold, he sailed for California in vessel
built by his late employer, and reached
there in the winter of that year. Hav-
ing natural inclination for everything
connected with mining, he Immediately
adopted it as profession, meeting
with all the hardships and ups and
downs that are part and parcel of its
wages. Commencing his career in Sier-
IA county, where he remained several
years, he at length made "raise," and
started for Virginia City. Here his
funds ran out, and he worked for some
time timbering the Mexican mine at 81
a day. AS characteristic of the man,
it is stated that about this period Mr..
Mackay was frequently saying that if
he could onl ly get together $4,000, to
make the declining years Of his dear
mother comfortable, his greatest ambi-
tion in life would be attained. Beset
by various changes of fortune he ulti-
mately, in 1863, became associated with
Mr.. T. NJ. Walker, and to this firm was
added, in 1865, Messrs. Flood and
OBrien; remaining so until 1863, when
Mr.. Walker retiring, Mr.. Fair replaced
him. The stupendous wealth O. these
four enterprising men became manifest.
They having secured the Hale and Nor
cross, one of the Bonanza mines, were
enabled to procure others, finally pur-
chasing the .solidated Virginia
ground for . $4,000. Further ac-
quisitior territory resulted in their
obtaining that marvellous deposit of ore
known as the Comstock lode. With
their constantly increasing capital, and
the active and incessant efforts made
by Mr.. Mackay and his partners, the
wonderful Bonanza mines were eventu-
ally opened to the astonished world.
Mr.. Mackay has three-eights of the
profit derived from them, and yearly
adds to his overAowing exchequer the
almost fabulous sum of 6O,OOO,OOO
francs. This is calculated to bring him
in exactly 1875 francs per minute, 1900
francs an hour, and 10000 francs a
day. Little over AZ years of age, Mr..
Mackay is still in the prime of life, has
a handsome, commanding face, splendid
physique, and fine presence, and, wheth-
er among his miners, in the society Of
the elite, or in the bosom of his friends
and family, we view in the "Boss" of
the big Bonanza" all those attributes
which 60 to make up the thorough man
and the courtly gentleman.

WINTER SCENES IN APRIL. :.


An Unexpected Weather Back-set.
The good people of this part of

With snow. The landscape looked as
dreary aud wiutry as at any time in

braDdts. which everybody had sup.
posed had gone to the "Open Polar
Sea-" described by that celebrated
lecturer aud navigator. Captain Tattle,
flew over town sqnawking and apparent.
ly bewildered at the sudden change in

made it an otfense, punishable by fine
or Imprisonment. for sportsmen to
shoot them at this season of the year,
SO they ran no risk in filing just over
the roofs Of peoples houses to- day.
Snow continued to fall right lively for
several houts this incoming, and. though

in the mountains. The storm was
general, and extended west to Califor.
