Visiting Cards.

TIE social use of visiting cards varies
not only with periods and with peoples,
but varies sometimes in the SAME city,
and in the same set, rs in New YORK,
for example. When ordinary calls are
made, it is customary, of course. rs it
has always been, to send in a card by
the servant TO announce your name and
presence, and to leave your card, if the
person visited is absent. This is COM
m~on-sensible, and all true etiquette is
founded on common sense. But where
many visitors are anticipated, as on
New Years day, or ut general recep-
tons. it is expected that cards shall be
left. and they are left in 4 very irregu-
lar anucr Ii is natural to hand the
card to the servant who opens the door,
and most persons would do SO at once,
especially when they see the servant
armed with a card tray. But when the
company is large, aud has bccu formal
ly invited. it seems s~uperiuouS, if not
absurd, TO prccede yourself with a card;
nor is it supposed that you will.
Nevertheless. il is presumed that
you will drop n card on leaving,
or before leaving. and YOU COM
ply with the fashion whether
you approve it or not. On New Years
Day, for instance, some servants are
provided with trays, and, on admitting
YOU, receive your card. Some of them
carry it into the drawing-roOm. and you
instinctirely wait in the hall until it has
been delivered. for Ia accompany Your
card renders the card redundant.
A., tlo .,r.-,p4 ,,rarn, -. 1T tIa
ladies are receiving, and asks you TO
step in, retaining your card, 50 as 10
make you feel, if you are not familiar
with, or independent of, etiquette, as if
you have made a mistake. At other
places the servant has no tray, and YOU
are privileged to leave the card in the
basket, usually standing in the hall,
either going in or coming out. There
is no positive rule on the subject, but it
is generally more convenient or less
awkward TO leave the card coming out.
At ket.lcdrums, which everybody pre-
tends TO dislike, and yet which continue
in vogue, despite numberlesS manifest
objections to them, the same custom
leaving them in the same uncertain
way. At evening parties or private re-
ceptions cards are never left, although
there is just as much reason for leaving
them there as at kcttledrums. The OK
cuse offered for leaving cards on New
Years, at kettledrums, and general re-
ceptions, is that the hostess may know
who has called, or practically accepted
her invitation. But she has the same
cause, and, doubtless, the same desire.
for knowing on any other social occa-
sion. Etiquette is often very fantastic
and finical, but sound etiquette is, we
repeat, so based on common sense that
it MAY generally be OWNED by a deli
cate instinct. In regard to cards, no
man or woman of fine apprehension or
good breeding would think Of leaving a
card at a general assembly of any
kind, unless before entering Il drawing.
room, and this is unguestionably the
best rule of the best society.-M i.

A Doctors Mistake.

AT some of the more primitive Ger.
mar and Bohemian watering places a
quaint old custom prevails, in virtue of
which the resident medical or bath doc
tors take up their stations every morn
ing al a fixed hour under particular
trees, on the Heading promenade OF
their respective Babe Ort, so that their
patients NAV make sure of finding them
for consultation or advice at a particu-
lar time and in n particular place. A
good memory for faces is a sine qua
non to these som of EsculapiuS, who,
in the height of the season. frequently
interview from fifty to sixty invalids
apiece during these al Jresco receptions.
Mistakes as to identity. however, viii
occur, and sometim$ result in singli-
larly comical complications Recently
n of the most popular physicians at 0
crowded Babe Ort was visited under
his tree by an American gentleman, a
recent arrival. who complained that the
waters caused him such terrible head
aches that he thought he had better
drop them and depart to other chimes.
The doctor, unwilling tins promptly to
lose his patient, looked him over
hastily, and, percoiving that he wore a
fat sombrero, told him ii was not the
waters that made his head ache, but
that internationally heavy hat" Swift
ly the American betook himself to the
nearest halter, of whom he purchased a
straw fabric SO light as to be almost i'm
Ponderable, and went on drinking tho
waters a before. His headaches, how
ever. growing worse instead of leaving
him, he again called upon the medical
adviser a few days later, and told him
that his head was still so bad that he
really must try some other cure. The
doctor, who in the meantime had for
gotten all about his previous prescrip-
| tions, and was as reluctant as ever to
let his patient depart. again cast q CON-
preheusive glance at him, and cspying
the straw hat, exclaimed:
"You cannot expect to be free from

Bad Omens.

AMONG other bad omens in India may
be mentioned a snake or jackal cross
ing ones path; hearing a person cry
when you are going anywhere; the
cawing of a crow. and the crying of \
kite; a eat crossing ones path. and the
seeing an empty pitcher. As compared
with The bad, there are but few good
omens. Among these may be men
toned the following: The meeting of a
dead body being carried away. and no
n crying with it; seeing . pitcher
with a rope attached 10 it, or a Brali-
min carrying n jug of holy water from
the Gangcs; a lizari creeping up one 5
body; hearing a bride cry when she Is
leaving her parents and going TO live
with her husband; hearing the bell of a
temple strike, or atrumpet sound when
one is setting out on q journey; crow
perched on a dead body floating down
the river, and a fox crossing ones
path.

and a stampede more dangerous than
fire would have commenced, when
Canrobert, who was in one of the boxes

voice. ..Let every n stay in his

substitution of printing types made Of
toughened glass in place OF those Of
metal have proved quite encouraging.
The advantages in point Of cleanliness
would, it is alleged, be not significant
The toughened glass is naturally much
harder than the usual metallic compost
ton, and can hardly be crushed out Of
shape by those small accidents which
shorten the life and mar the beauty o
