TABLE MANNERS.
FChristian Weekly.7

l. SuAASe W oonAJ.l
I. Nothing is more fatal to good TIA
BILE manners than haste; therefore at
table be deliberate. Do not eat fast.
2. Soup should be taken from the
side of the spoon with noiseless inhala-
ton, the spoon being slightly tipped.
3. Keep the plate that is handed you
by the carver or servant; it confuses
the one who presitles to have it passed
from ono to another.
4. Break your bread into pieces and
let them rest on your plate while
spreading. w.. ...- ..-.....
5. DO not open the lips while chew
ing, or make any unnecessary noise.
6. Do not speak with the mouth full.
z. Use tho knife for cutting only;
never put 1t to the lips nor in the
mouth.
8. DO not drink your tea or coffee
without first removing the teaspoon
from tho cup to the saucer. Always
place it in the saucer when you pass
tho cup to be retilled, but leave it in
the cup when no more is wanted.
9. When asked at table how you
prefer q thing; for instance If you will
have cream on your berries, or sugar
on your tomatoes, or what part of the
chicken you prefer, make some choice.
Decide for yourself. 1t is awkward to
make other people choose for you. Do
not say, cit makes no difference" 81
am not particular" Even If you have
no choice you may decide one way or
the other; 1t is easier for the hostess to
wait on you.
10. Talk In low tone of voice, and
handle your knife, fork and plate with
out clatter eat without any audible
gulping or smacking of the lips.
II. In sending your plate to be
helped second time retain the knife
and fork, let them lie ON the table
with tho tips resting on your own but
ter plate, salt dish, or what is better a
piece of bread. AT the conclusion of
the meal, the knife and fork should be
laid side by side on the plate with the
pointing to the right hand.
AZ. Avoid whispering at the table.
The conversation should be general.
10. Do not rest your elbow on the
table or touch your head while eating.
IA. Never reach across the table or
help yourself with your own knife or
fork.
Is. In passing tumbler of water do |
not put the hand over the top, or when !
asked for dish do not shove but |
hand It. 49, -
l6. While drinking do not look
around.
II. Ones teeth are not to be- picked
at the table but If 1t is impossible to
hinder II, 1t should DO done behind the
napkin. A5a4.or
10. Never leave the table before
Others without asking the lady or GEN
tleman who presides to excuse you.

lowed Will make you an acceptable

4 PETRIFIED WOMAN.

Can't. q. W. Kinney WflteS 70 soe
Yarmouth Herald In the month OF
G January, 1874, people residing at
Woods Harbor observed square
then uninhabited, and, supposing her
Ia be on shore there, q party Of men
went to the Island In q boat for the pur-
nose OF rendering assistance.
~ On arriving at the island they found
the vessel to be at anchor In the South
Cove, and there being every appear
ance of o gale from the southeast, they
made signs to the crew to leave her
and come on shore. ~ In attempting to
hoist out the boat she was stove and
lost, and the wind and sea rising q line
was got from the vessel to q tree on the
shore, upon which the captain and two
men made their escape from the wreck,
which was now stranded and fast
breaking up. ra
The remainder of the crew, consist
ing of four sailors, steward, stewardess,
and one femlae passenger q girl of six
: teen, and the now sspetrlfied woman'')
were, drowned. Their bodies were
found aud buried next day on the
rugged headland where they met their
DOOM There they rested for more
than thirty years, when some modern
vandal was prompted by morbid Curl
osity to DIG into the graves and dis
turb the lest resting place of poor hui
manity In order to feast his eyes on the
sight Of few moulderlng bones.
While engaged In his ghoul-like oc-
cupation he or they lighted on the
grave Of the girl, and was not doubt
surprised to and the corpse was hard
and entire. The story spread aud the
corpse was dug up from time to time
by various persons. Even boys would
pass q leisure hour when they landed
from schooner by digging up the
ssstone woman and examinipg her.
During this time became proprietor
of the island and resided on 1t, and
hearing from time to time of the dig
ging operations, resolved to move
the body to q place where 1t could rest
In peace. accordingly dug 1t up and
found 1t in perfect state of preserva-
ton, except the head, which had de-
cayed.
Every part of tho body and limbs
were as hard as stone and about the
color of gray marble. Iattribute its
preservation to the presence Of some
mineral contained in the water in
which the corpse was submerged, ex-
cepting the head. I buried 1t decently
within easy gunshot of my house, and
am confident that have put an end to
the numerous resurrections of the pet
rified woman. The name of the vessel
I have been unable to learn. She be-
longed to Windsor, N. s., and her
captains name was Card. She had
come from Liverpool, Great Britain, to
Shelburne, where she had loaded with
dressed granite for New York.

THIS standard article is compound
ed with the greatest care.
Its effects are as wonderful and as
satisfactory as ever.
1t restores gray Or faded hair to its
youthful color.
1t removes all eruptions, itching
and dandruff. It gives the head a
cooling, soothing sensation of great
comfort, and the scalp by its use
becomes white and clean.
BY its tonic properties it restores
the capillary glands to their normal
vigor, preventing badness, and maxi
ing the hair grow thick and strong.
AS n dressing, nothing has been
found so efectual or desirable.

of Massachusetts, says, "The con-
stituents are pure, and carefully Sc
lected for excellent quality and

It would be difficult to imagine
what the extra session of Congress,
or even the proposed prohib,tion of
military interference with elections
can possibly have 70, do with the de-
coration Of the graves Of the dead
soldiers of the late war;, and yet &C
cording to the New York Post, that
same extra session Of Congress-,
whatever else Of good or evil it, may
have done, has had the effect Of cur
ding the milk Of human kindness in
the stalwart's breast, and Of oblite
rating every 7 sentiment of manly
magnanimlty and charity for the
fallen braves. Here is what the
Post says: ,s..I al j. g
The. extra session Of Congress seems
to have given a new point to the cele-.
,bration of Decoration Day, and it must
be confessed that the point is not, a very
pleasant one. General Schuyler Ham,
ilton, one of the speakers at tile Lincoln
statue in Union Square, who last year
spoke i'm favor Of decorating Confeder-
ate as we'll as Union graves, said yes
terday; II beg to apologize for those
remarks. would now urge that no
member Of Abraham Lincoln Post lay
a flower on the grave of a rebel. they
were traitors in 1851; they are traitors
now. All winter long they have been
plotting treason in, the halls of Con-
gress. The same hearts burn and the
same arms can be welded as in 1861,
and many of us live again to WELD
them if necessary" The wisdom and
taste of this may be open to question,
but tits not worth while to overlook
the significance Of the fact. A year ago
General Hamilton's words would have
provoked a warm protest from Republic
cans, as well as Democrats. Who is re-
sponsible for the different way in which
they are regarded now?
1t is difficult to say who or what
has wrought such change Of heart
in that pink Of stalwart chivalry,
General Schuyler Hamilton" But
We suppose the blame must be laid
to those incorrigible Democrats in
Congress, who have had the audaci-
1ty to insist upon the repeal of the
Federal election laws which are ne
cessary to secure the success of the
Radical party in, the next Presiden-
tial election. But then, as Northern
war Democrats are also opposed to
bayonet rule and in favor Of restor
ing to the people free elections, why
should not General Schuyler Hamil-
ton vent his hyena resentment on
the graves Of. the Democratic Union
soldiers as well as those ofthe Con.

ST.PATRICK'S.

ols Thl AlVh q
The dedication Of a Cathedral
which will accommodate 10000 peo-
pie and which will seat $4,000 is q
notable event in the history of New
York, and none Of our readers will
complain. Of the space which we de-
vote this morning to yesterdays
grand ceremonial. Two Bishops
and large number Of Priests and of
the laity who assisted twenty one
years ago at the laying of the corner
stone of this building have survived
to assist in this ceremonial. The
significant pageant wasipresided over
by the FIRST American Cardinal by
seven Archbishops, eighteen Bishops
and three hundred Of the Catholic
clergy. When the first Cathedral of
St. Patrick, which yesterday became
diocesan church, was bnilt on the
square bounded by Prince, Mott and
Mulberry streets, It Was compare
lively further up town in city par
lance than the present Cathedral is.
When Archbishop Hughes laid the
cornerstone oftheine Cathedral he
might have dedicated the site to St.
PatfiIk in-ahe Fields. The then
Bishop ofsAlbany,y now the Cardinal
Archbishop Of New York, stood be-
side his predecessor on that occa-
sion, Archbishop Hughes did not
| live to see his stately dream fulfilled,
but the mind Of the Cardinal yester-
day must have been deeply Impress
ed by theschanges which time has
iwroughtinsthe metropolis since that
already far off dayawAen be saw the
plating of the acorn now expanded
into an oak for the shelter of;his
people beneath-sits branching aisles.
What those changes are may be in
'ferred from the fact that nearly as
many Of the vast throngs within and
|wfthoutss the Cathedral yesterday
came downtown as up town TO attend
the ceremonies. Doubtless whenthe
spires Of this Cathedral attain their
full height Of 334 feet and become
familiar landmarks to the inward
bound mariner. they will look down
upon busy marts Of trade where now
the homes Of the most prosperous
classes Of the community are clus-
tered together IL is not therefore
for Vie Catholic worshipper alone
that yesterdays eyentsis fill of sig.
Enificance.a Citizens 4of all religious
opinions whoitakea pride in the chief
city of the Union must take pride in
this noble edifice which confirms to
it its metropolitan character. Hith-
erto the Catbedrals Of Mexico, Of
Pnebla and Of Montreal have really
been without a rival in the United
States. The Cathedral a. Philadel-
|pliia, like our own Episcopal Trini-.
", is rather q stately church than a
Cathedral. But ST. Patrick's sur
passes the Cathedral of Montreal
and mates the stately edidces of
Mexico. Fonr millions Of dollars
hare already been expended upon it,
and at least. six hundred thousand
more will be required to complete it.
