ETIQUETTE OF CALLS

II the mistress of the house is a
home caller must not give his card
to servant. Such a proceeding would
be contrary to present usage, and, in the
event Of caller making such mistake,
well-bred domestic would suppress the
card, and simply announce the name on
entering the drawing-room. IF the call
is Of purely business character, and
the visitor unacquainted with the lady
of the house, it is still proper to send in
card with the inquiry whether the lady
is engaged. Or in the case of lady
making personal call upon another
lady "a strangely respecting the charac-
ter of domestic servant, for instance,
a card should be sent in it would be,
however, in better taste to write first,
asking for an appointment. IF this is
done, card is not delivered IF lady
is dressing to go out when visitor calls,
the servant can mention that fact to
visitor calling, and offer to ascertain if
the mistress will see the caller, and the
caller will use her own discretion as to
whether she will allow him to do so or
not but, unless the visit is one of i'm
portance, it would be best in such case
only to leave cards.

FARIBAULT.

About o'clock this morning the news
was spread around that an accident had &C.
Cured at the church of the Immaculate Con-
ception. Your correspondent visited the
scene and cleaned the following facts: F..
j. Pratt, painter and kalsominer of this
city, was renovating the interior of the said
church, which became damaged from the eff
fects of fire in the early part of the year.
He had in his employ William Whipple and
Norwegian lately arrived in this country,
by the name of Ole Moklebust. They were
working on the ceiling of the church and
were in the act of changing some of the
boards of the scaffold, when it broke and
young Whipple and &Ioklebust were precipi-
tated to the floor, distance of about twenty
feet, Whipple striking on his head and right
shoulder, the shoe making him insensible,
and was removed 20 the residence of Father
GEMS in that condition. Moklebust struck
on his ribs, but was able to walk out of the
church without any assistance. Luckily for
them they fell On the floor between the chan
Gel and the first row of pews. When your
correspondent entered the residence of
Father GEMS, young Whipple was on bed
in the bedroom, while Moklebust was found
and Byford were in attendance and doing
their best for the unfortunates. Your re-
porter could not learn the extent of the in
juries, but from the reticenee of the physi
clans we were led to believe that they thought
it very critical case for at least young
Whipple. William Whipple is son of the
late Lieutenant John G. Whipple, the hero
of Fort Ridgeley in 1862. When the scat
fold gave way, Mr.. Pratt who was also on
the same, caught on brace and was not
hurt at all. Father GEMS and all around
him were untiring in caring for the suffer-
ers, and the hand of one of the Sisters was
stroking the brow of young Whipple in the
true spirit of Christianity. Both of the
young men injured bear first class reputa-
ton, and the community at large will deeply
sympathize with the afflicted and their IA
miles.

ANTHONY MURPHY departed mysten-
ously from his home In Philadelphia.
He had been sober, industrious, kindly
man, and few would believe that he had
deserted his family. His wife was sure
that he had been murdered. Two
months afterward she was summoned to
the Morgue to see whether body from
the river was that Of her husband. She
said yes ct once, and, to make the iden-
LITIGATION positive, pointed out NAL
formed finger, mole on the arm, two
teeth gone, and new suit Of broad
cloth. A wake was held and the re-
mains were buried. -Four months more
passed, and one day Anthony Murphy
walked coolly into his home. Mrs.
Murphy exclaimed, cts an angel from
heaven" and tainted away. She imme-
diately came to the conclusion that he
had risen from the dead, and nothing
can shake her firm belief that such was
the fact. Her friends who attended the
wake take the same view Of the matter,
and Murphy himself Is in doubt, for his
brain has been affected since his return
probably since his departure. He has
q very dim recollection of Western
trip, but is not prepared to say whether
he was in or out Of the flesh.

THE cRows IN CONTENTION.

James Hillman, Il respectable and
weIl-to-do farmer, living between Or
wigsburg nd LandingvilIe, is the au-
thority for the following remarkable
story Mr.. Hillman has on his farm
fifteen acres OF timber, which is joined
by two other pieces Of woodland of
about the same size. One morning dur
ing the early part of last week Mr.. Hill
mans attention was attracted by large
Aocks of crows which came from the
south, and as if by common consent
settled in the woods mentioned above.
During the ensuing three days the crows
in the woods we're reinforced by new ar
rivals, until several thousand were pres
ent. and the noise they made attracted
the attention of people for miles around.
Sentinel crows were posted on the
fences around the woods, and through
them the approach Of man or boy was
quickly communicated to the body Of
crows. The crows remained in this
patch of woods until Monday morning,
when they all left about the same time,
taking their course Of fight in a north
westerly direction. They left the woods
IN focks of 200 Or 300 each, at intervals
of five or ten minutes, and the departure
of one Of these focks was the signal for
loud and prolonged cawing on the part
Of those remaining behind. They all
departed in the same direction, and the
last flock took to wing about an hour
after the first started. Since then there
has not been crow seen ID the neigh
borhood. Mr.. Hillman says that dur
ing their stay in his woods the crows
did not commit any depredations on the
neighboring corn-felds, and but few Of
them ever ventured beyond the con-
fines of the timber. -Pottsville Afiaer's

WE'LL WARMED.

Russian houses are universally well
warmed, so that there is no damp to be
found in them. The inmates may dress
indoors in the ightest of CARDS, which
contrasts. oddly with the mass of furs
and wraps which they don when going
out. A Russian can afford to run no
risks Of exposure when he leaves his
home for walk or drive. He exposes
only his nose 70 the air, and that he
rubs frequently. A stranger, who is
apt to forget that precaution, would
often get his nose frozen if it were not
for the courtesy of the Russians, who
will always warn him if they see his
nose whitening, and will, unbidden,
help him to chafe it vigorously with
snow. In Russian cities walking is just
possible for men during winter, but
hardly so for ladies. The women Of
the lower order wear knee-boots those
of the shop-keeping classes seldom ven
ture out at all; those of the aristocracy
60 out in sleighs. This mode of con-
veyance is not pleasant to nervous peo-
pie, for the Kalmuck coachmen drive
them at such terrible pace that they
frequently capsize; but persons not
destitute of pluck find their motion en-
joyable. It must be added, that to be
spilled out of Russian sleigh is tanta-
mount only to getting rough tumble
on soft mattress, for the very thick
furs in which the victim is sure to be
wrapped will be enough to break the fall.

A. HABIT OF INDIGESTION.

There is great deal of truth in what
a gifted writer says concerning habits OF
indecision OR dilatoriness. It is SO much
of it pure habit that children cannot be
too early taught, first the necessity Of
making up ones mind, and then Of act
ing upon it. The trick Of changing
about, Of waiting minute after minute,
hour after hour, in work as in play-for
oilers never play conscientiously-is
often acquired in mere infancy, in imita-
ton of elders and betters, never to be
got rid of to the end of life. What is in
the boy OF girl pure carelessness be-
comes in the man and woman con-
frmed popularity, which haunts them
Like curse, causing no end Of misery to
themselves aud to all belonging to them.
One by one some application is neglect
ed or thrown aside till the lost chance of
benefting ourselves or our neighbor
can never be recalled; our remorse over
an unanswered letter, when the writer
has suddenly gone whither no kindly
words can reach him any more our re-
gret over cordial visits unpaid, and
pleasant meetings unvalued, till friend
ship, worn out, dies natural death, or
burns itself to ashes like a fire without
fresh Goals, Then we may lay the
blame on Providence, luck, circum-
stances; anything or anybody except
the true sinners, ourselves but it is too
late. We can no longer help ourselves.

FAMILIAR PHRASES.
ORIGIN of a Eesu of 1Nena.


The origin of phrases is curious and
interesting, and speculations in regard
to their origin are very common. The
common phrase, Catching Tartar"
has its origin vafiously stated. Grose,
the antiquarian, says it came out of
story Of an Irish soldier in the imperial
service, who, in battle against the
Turks, called out to his comrades that
he had caught Tartar. Bring him
along, then" was the reply. "He won't
come," answered Paddy. CITIZEN come
along yourself" said his comrade. To
which the Hibernian responded, "Ah,
but he won't let me-"
You cannot say boo to a goose.
How often have persons relieved their
feelings Of irritation at the weakness of
others by hurting this phrase at them !
Had the latter only known its origin
they could have been paid back in Their
own coin. The origin is this When
Ben Jonson, the dramatist, was intro
duced to nobleman, the peer was so
struck with his homely appearance that
he exclaimed, "What? you are Ben
Jonson? Why, you look as if you could
not say boo to goose" "Boo!" ex-
claimed that witty dramatist, turning to
the peer and making his bow.
The phrase Putting the cart before
the horse" can boast Of great antiquity,
having first been quoted by Lucian, the
great Greek writer, nearly 1,7OO years
ago. Francis Rabelais, the French satir-
ist and wit, whose Gorgantua" was
published in the year 1888, has the
phrase "He placed the carriage before
the steed." No derivation of it can be
given, but the meaning is very obvious,
and refers to those who begin to do a
thing at the wrong end. 81 have
bone to pick with you" is phrase that
is uncomplimentary to the ladies at start
ing. It means, as iswen known, having
an unpleasant matter to settle with you,
and this is the origin of the phrase At
the marriage banquets of the Sicilian
poor, the brides father, after the meal,
used to hand the bridegroom bone,
saying: "Pick this bone, for you have
taken in hand harder task"
The well-known saying that shoe
maker should stick to his last originated
with Appelles, the celebrated Greek
painter, who set picture which he had
finished in public place and concealed
himself behind it, in order to hear the
criticisms of passers-by. A shoemaker
observed defect in the shoe, and the
painter forthwith corrected it. The cob
bier came again the next day, and, en-
couraged by the success of his first re-
mark, began to extend his censure to
the leg of the figure, when the angry
painter thrust out his head from behind
the picture and told the shoemaker to
keep to his trade.
"There's good time coming, boys a
good time coming" was written thirty
years ago by DR.. Charles Mackay, and
sung with very great popularity by
Henry Russell in his concerts Throughout
the British islands.

PERSEVERANCE WITH DROWNED
PERSONS,

In recent communication. to the
French Academy, Prof. Fort asserts
that he was enabled to restore to life q
child years old, by practicing artificial
respiration on it four hours, commend
ing three hours and half after appar-
emit death. He mentions also a case in
which DR.. Fournol, of Billancourt, re-
animated, in July, 1878, an apparently
drowned person by four hours Of artifi-
cial respiration begun one hour after the
patient was taken from the water. At
this season, when cases of drowning are
apt to be frequent, the possible benefit
that may come from perseyering effort
to revive victims of drowning should
encourage friends not to despair of their
resuscitation, even after several hours
of seemingly -fruitless labor.-Scientifc

A WRITER in Chambers Journal says {:
"The bread par excellence, according

aerated bread" A patent for the MAX
ing of this was taken out about fifteen
years ago, but since then it has not en-
joyed, says the writer, nearly the popu-
larity and consumption that it really de-
serves. Ithas many decided advantages,
great one being that the dough de-
mands no handling from perspiring and,
too often, unclean bakers. DR.. Corfe,
of the Middlesex Hospital, insists strong
" on its value in those cases of dys-
pepsia which so often affect the BRAIN
workers of the great metropolis" It
keeps better, too, than other bread"
