Manners Two Hundred Years Az

A curious little book, called "The
Rules Of Civility," which was published
in 1915, throws amusing light on the
manners of our ancestors two centuries
ago. Being in discourse with man, "
we read on one page, "'tis no less than
ridiculous to pull him by the buttons,
to play with his band strings, belt or
to punch him now and then on the
stomach" Again, cit argues neglect,
and to undervalue man, to sleep when
he is discoursing or reading. There
fore, good manners command it to be
forbid besides, something may happen
in the act that may offend, as snoring,
sweating, gaping or dribbling." More
explicit are the rules for behavior at ta-
bic. 'In eating observe to let your hands
be clean. Feed not with both your
hands, nor keep your knife in your hand.
Dip not your fingers IL the sauce, or
lick them when you have done. If you
have occasion to sneeze or cough, take
your hat, or put your napkin before
your face. Drink not with your mouth
full nor unwiped, nor SO long till you
are forced to breathe in the glass. /"
There are rules also for the drawing
room. eff n person of quality be in the
company Of ladies, it's too Juvenile and
light to play with them, to toss or tum-
bic them, to kiss them by surprise, to
force away their hoods, their fans, or
their ruffs. It is unhandsome among
ladies, OF any other serious company, to
throw off ono's cloak, to pull off ones
peruke, to cut ones nails, to tie ones
garter, to change shoes if they pinch, to
call for ones slippers to be at ease, to
sing between the teeth, or to drum with
ones fingers"

He was in the road now. and he

and he was almost trotting now. In
fact, he was looking younger and
younger, somehow, every minute, and
Barry felt more and more as if he ought
to have hold of the halter, instead OF
merely running alongside and shouting
to Prue.
The regiment was drawn up on the
great bare field where the review was to
be that afternoon, and they looked
splendidly. Col Dunway was saving

handsome black colt, and q number of
other officers who were riding with him
said the same, and 80 did the ladies who
were keeping them company.
Just then the bugle sounded again,
from the head of the column, and Prue
had to hold oD hard. for Hannibal sud-
denly began to canter, and he answered
the music with loud, clear whinny of
delight. Barry was half out of breath

Barry hardly knew whether to laugh
or cry, but the soldiers suddenly broke

The Small Days Of Chicago.

New York and Boston, about 25G
years old, have respectively 1000, 900
and $50, 600 Inhabitants. Chicago made
up her half million in little over forty
years. In New York and Boston one
sees the graves of eight generations, and
the relics of colonial times. In Chicago
Mr. Gurdon s. Hubbard is now living,
an active man, 78 years of age (and
looking 60), who came to the spot when
there were but two houses there.
The site of this great city, n favorite
one with the Indians, was early visited
by some of those splendid old I" pioneers
OF France in the New World" who have
been made famous in this generation by
the pen of that accomplished and genial
historian, Mr.. Parkman. Old Pere
Marquette was there in 1878, and re-
turned In the winter of 1674-75. It was
also known to Joliet for whom town
not far off is now named), Hennepin, and
La Sale. The name is of Indian origin,
cheecdQatd meaning "strOng," and be- p,
ing also the term for kind of wild
onion found on the shore of the lake in
old days. The place is first known to
geography as the "Fort Checagou" of
French map published toward the end
OF the seventeenth centRry. Fort Dear
born was built by our Government in
1904, and the late john III. Kinzie, an
eminent pioneer and citizen of Chicago,
celebrated the first anniversary of his
birthday on its site, his father having
arrived three days before, in company
with Maj. Whistler end his command.
The Fort DeaFborn massacre, Sperpo-
trated by the Indians, was in 1872 and
the bones OF the soldiers were lying un-
buried near the shore when young Kin
Zle returned from Detroit in 1816.-

Happy Mothers.

may say, rather, cheerful mothers,
but do not, because there is no real
sunshiny cheerfulness possible without
happiness in the heart. And there may
be happiness, if the heart bo rightly
placed and strong in love and faith, even
when the outlook in life is dark, and tho
clouds upon the path are heavy. There
may be little money in the purse. There
may be q dear one lying pallid OH the
couch, and fading by degrees. There
may be n narrow grave in the cemetery,
and vacant seat at the table. But vet
my sister, if Christ be your friend, abid-
ing with you and holding fast your hand,
there may be strange gladness min
gled with your sorrow.
We all want our little children to be
happy. Now the happiest children are
those who have happy mothers. The
young life, which grows up in the
shadow of discontented, repinine and
gloomy mother, is like q plant unwatered
by kindly dews. It is apt to be dwarfed
and stunted. So, even when things are
crooked, and temptations to ungentle-
ness come, let the mother, for her sons
and daug hters' sake, try to be happy

Sir William HarcOurt.

Twelve gentlemen, whose spirits were
high, once agreed to dine together ia
Greenwich, England, on fixed day,
and, on the principle of "the more the
merrier," it was arranged that the num-
Der of the party should be doubled by
each bringing o friend. The "friend"
in question was to be the man whom
each of the original twelve severally and
respectively disliked the most heartily.
When the guests arrived at the Trafal-
gar there proved to be but thirteen in
all, everybody having invited Mr.. Yer
non-Harcourt So runs the story, which
is probably as true as most others. For
some unexplained reason, Sir William
Harcourt has never been o popular per-
son: Probably two reasons initiate
against his social success. He is ex-
tremely learned, and has habit of dem
onstr@ting to gentlemen who argue with
him that they are proportionately iono-
rant of the subject under discussion. AS
was said of Macaulay, "he is SO con-
foundedly cocksure about everything"

The proportions of the human figure
are six times the length of the feet
Whether the form is slender or plump
the rule holds good. Any deviation
from 1t is departure from the highest
beauty in proportion. The Greeks made
all their statues according to this rule.
The face, from the highest point of the
forehead, where the hair begins, to the
chin, is one-tenth of the stature. The
hand, from the wrist to the middle of
the foretinger, is the same. From the
top Of the chest to the highest point of
the forehead is n seventh. If the face,
from the roots of the hair to the chin
IS divided into three equal parts, the
first division determines the place where
the eyebrows meet, and the second the
place OF the nostrils. The height from
the feet to the top of the head is the
distance from the extremity of the ting-
ers when the arms are extended.

Runaway Horses.

The horse that has once acquired the
habit of running away will bolt on the
first opportunity. If you suspect his in.
tcntion, the best plan is to check it the
moment he begins to move, taking hold
of one rein with both hands. and giving
1T one or two such violent Jerks that the
rogue must pause or turn around. Then
stop him, and, if you doubt your being
able to hold him, get off. Perhaps
too-vigorous "plug may make him
cross his legs and fall-not pleasant
contingency, but anything is better than
being run away with in street. In
open country you may compel the runa-
way to gallop with q loose rein until he
IS tired, or to move in q constantly mar
rowing circle until he is glad to halt A
ten-acre field is big enough for this ex-
pedient. But tho great point is to stop
runaway before he gets into his stride;
after he is once away few bits will stop
real runaway-a steady pull is q waste
of exertion on the riders part. Some
horses may be stopped by saving the
mouth with the snaffie, but nothing will
check the old hand. Another expedient
is to hold the reins very lightly, and or
the first favorable opportunity, as o ris-
ing hill, for instance, to try a succession
OF jerks. But the cunning, practiced
runaway is not so much to be feared as
the mad, frightened horse. The mad
horse will dash against q brick wall, or
Jump at spiked ratings of impossible
height. L once saw n runaway horse,
after getting rid Of his rider, charge and
burst open his locked stable.door.

are so few outward signs of religious

to find service of any kind being cele-

always shut. A light is seldom burning
