Home Politcness.

( A BOY who II polite to his father and
mother is likely to be polite to every
one else. A boy lacking politeness to
his parents may have the semblance of
courtesy in society but is, never truly
polite in spirit, and is in danger, as he
becomes familiar, of betraying his real
want of courtesy. We are all in danger
of living too much for the outside world,
for the impression which we make in
society, covetng the good opinions of
those who are in a sense a part Of our
selves, and who will continue to sustain
and be interested in US, Notwithstanding
these defects of department and charac-
ter. We say to every boy and to every
girl, cultivate the habits of courtesy and
propriety at home--in the sitting.room
and the kitchen, as wellas in the parlor,
and you will be sure in other places to
deport yourself in becoming and at
tractive manner. When one has .
pleasant smile and agraceful demeanor,
it is a satisfaction to know that these are
not put ON, but that they belong TO the
character, and are manifest at all times
and under all circumstances Sunday.

Burdette's visit to Mark Twain.

Il II think have never been in "a home
more beautifully 1home-like than this
palaeeof the king of humorists. The
surroundings Of the house are beautiful,
and its quaint architecture, broad East
Indian porticos. the Greek patterns in
Mosaic in the dark-red brick walls al
tract and charm the attention and good
taste of the passer-by, for the home, in
side and out, is the perfection OF exquis-
lite taste and harmony. But with all its
architectural beauty and originality, the
elegance of its interior finish and decor
ations,. the greatest charm about the
houseeis the atmosphere of sthomelike-
ness that pervades it. Charmingly as
he can entertain thousands of people at q
time from the platform, Mr.. Clements
is even a more perfect entertainer in his
home. Il The brightest, and best sides of
his nature shine out at his fireside. The
.humor and drollery that sparkle in his
conversation is as utterly unaffected and
natural as sunlight. Indeed, don't be-
ieve he knows or thinks that most of his
talk before the sparkling fire, up in the
pIeasantretirementsof his billiard-room
study, is marketable merchandise
worth : SO much a page to
the publishers; but it is. And it is
not all drollery and humor., He. is
so earnest that his earnestness charms
you fully as much as his brighter flash
es,sand once in saawhiler there is in his
voice an infection of wonderful pathos,
so touched with melancholy that You
look into the kind, earnest eyes to see
what thought has touched his voice.
And he has heart as big as his body !;
I believe there does not live a man more
thoroughly unselfish and self -forgetful.
Two little girls and boy baby (bright-
eyed. good-tempered and with a full
head of hair as brown as bis father's) as
sist Mrs. Clemens to fiji the heart Of the
reigning humorist, and they do it most
completely. Personally, Mr.. Clemens is
perhaps q little Iabove the medium
height, OF good symmetrical physique,
brown hair, scarcely touched with gray,
that curls over q high, white forehead !;
friendship in his eyes, hearty cordially
in the grasp of q we'll shaped, white
hand, strong enough and heavy enough
to be manly hand; his age is forty
something, and he looks thirty five; in
the evening, g after the lamps are light

look, and he loves a good cigar even
better than Grant HaUkeye.

> "a Question of. Manners. $

THERE seems to be vague but opera
tive action in many social circles that it
is tsbad FORM. to introduce to each
other persons.who meet casually in the
parlor of common friend. AT least it
is held that this ceremony is not to be
performed without the consent of both
parties thereto. 81 H.FA'is
This belief is probably founded on the
social usages of older countries, as, for
example, Germany and France, where
introductions are not customary. But
there it is an unwritten law that stran-
gers. meeting under the root of a COM
mon friend, whether by invitation or &C
cident, shall greet each other as acquaint-
ances, talk easily, and part with grace
full civility. The hostess, by virtue Of
her office, stands as the social sponsor
of each for the moment, and to hesitate
to speak to any one of her visitors is to
discredit her taste and Judgment. Of
course the continuance of the acquaint-
ance is a matter to be left entirely to
the decision of the two persons con-
cerned.
In England, on the other hand, it has
been generally considered INDIGENOUS to
speak without a formal introduction,
which, is usually offered only when the
hostess feels assured that the acquaint-
ance will prove a mutually agreeable
one. But this usage doubtless grew out
of the very marked. differences of caste,
which implied different social worlds.
With the new life of this century; the
vast influence of trade and commerce;
nearness of nationsformeriy held alien
and foreign. and the attrition of their
ideas: the general interest in skience
which takes hold of men and women of
all ranks and no rank; the altered feel
ing about women, which begins to make
the suppressed sex not only significant
factors in the economic sum- but
working, thinking, and shaping men,
bers OF the social fabric; and with the
changing fortunes OF the time, which
puts immense wealth in new hands, and
impoverishes the heirs of old names and
ancient heritages-with these subvert-
ing conditions, we say, the rigid lines of
caste must yield or be broken. And
any American traveller hof distinction
will doubtless have observed that in the
best English society introductions have
either become much more general, or
are regarded as unnecessary. 80
We, however, appear to have adopt
ed the English custom without the Eng
lish reason therefors or hope of adyan-
taee therein. And if we go on in our
present way, we bid fair to make our So
cial festivities as heavy IS those Of the
middle class drawing rooms OF our kin
across the sea; for women are constitu-
tionally timid, and usually fear to make
advance - To be conspicuous Of being
less we'll dressed or less well placed in
the soc al world than her neighbor is tn

came from the North Of Ireland to New
York City when she was sixteen years
of age, and married a bookkeeper
named Joseph Ordway. Her husband
died q year later, and she went to
Leavenworth, Kas.; from thence to
Denver, and finally. in 1876, to Lead
vile. In Denver she married miner
named Frank Ray, but he died soon
after. She told how in Leadville she
braved the dangers and storms Of win
tiers before there were buildings there
to inhabit; how Cora, her seven-year-
old daughter, had to be kept wrapped
up in heavy blankets to keep her from
freezing while she pursued her task OF
building hut; how, when the place
became settled, she saw the land she
had taken up turn into q fortune, etc. ,
