A DECISION on politeness was recently
given by the supreme court at Boston.
A hotel clerk sued his employers, who
had discharged him before his time was
up, they alleging that he had injured
thejr business by being too familiar with
guests IN addressing them by their Chris
tisn names or surnsmes only. The slle>
CATION was admitted, and the court said:
10 address a person by his Christian
name, ualess the parties have been inti>
mately connected, socially and other
wise, is uDcahed-fOr familiarity, and.
Therefore insulting TO the party so sd
dressed To address party by his sur
name only, shows wasn't Of respect, sEd
would imply that the party so addressed
was beneath the party addressing there
fore it is discnurteous and would be con
sidered insulting. To speak of employ
els by their surnsmes only shows great
want of respect on the part of the en-
ploye toward the employer. While it
may be customary for a person TO ad
dress his juniors, clerks or under servants
by their Christian or surnAmes, to ad-
dress Others 80 shows a want of respect,
and Che party so addressed would natu-
nally evade contact in future with any
one who had previously so addressed
him" POliteness, added the court, costs
nothing. but the want of it had cost the
plaintiff the loss of mis- situation. The
complaint was dismissed with costs.

Pacific coast wnsiers set forth from
their winter quarters early in'the spring,
provisioned for cruise of at least six
months. The crews number about thirty
five men, force sufficient to man four
or FIVE boats. The number of boats csr-
ried depends on the locality of the hunt
ing ground and the nature of the whales
to be captured. In the extreme north
whales never attack boat, but in the
south they do SO frequently. Tire best
of the weapons carried is the patent har-
pOon gun, which is darted from the hand,
