FRUITS AND VEEETARIES

Among scientific men who have made longevity
a study, it is almost unanimously agreed that a
fruit and vegetable diet is conducive to long life
and perfect health. And it is among the vege-
table kingdom that we find our principal means of
restoring health to the invalid and strength to the
weak. In olden times, when centenarians were
common and men ii 60 years of age were CON
sdered youthful, herb doctors were the only ply
scians. Dr. Guyso,t's Yellow Dock and Sareapa-
rlla, with the exception of one ingredient, and
that is iron, il strictly vegetable compound and
is not injurious to the most delicate invalid Its
effects on the general system is most wonderful.
1t gives real strength to every part of the body
and its soothing effect in quoting the brain aud
nervous system is most remarkable. Its principal
ingredients are Yellow Dock, Sarsaparilla Juni-
per, Iron, Buchu, Celery and Calisaya Bark.
Where the disease is OF an exhaustive nature, it
quickly checks all decay In cases of dyspepsia it
does not act as a severe cathartic but gives real
stregth to the digestive organs, and thus perma-
nently cures the di tressfu disease.

Cards and Calls.

Cards are the especial literature of
polite society, and have their language
and Interpretation. The author of the
new american Code of Etiquette
gives some information on this interest
ing theme. Calling hours, it appears,
differ in the different cities. From 2 to
D is. however, period in which call
can be made in all. Among intimate
friends early morning informal calls
are proper, but the stranger can never
presume to call before >. Many la
dies who are busy, and who desire very
much to have some time to then selves
deny themselves to guests on every
day but one in the week. 1t is easy to
ascertain the hours of city before
calling, and, where early dinners are
the custom, the call must be made af-
ter dinner. 1t is a great mistake that
We have no national dinner hour. La
dies in cities dress with great elegance
for the formal call. Dark velvets and
furs, in winter, and dark bonnet are
the ordinary adornments. Light silk
and snowy things are in the worst pos
sible taste. In summer there is always
relaxation of ceremony. Gentlemen
wear, for calling, their usual morning
dress-a frock coat, gray trousers,
black cravat, or even those rough gar
ments which have of late been so fash
ionable. The French fashion of leav-
ing cards without inquiring for the lady
is proper, but it is not popular in
A merica. 70 ladies, whose visiting
circle is small, such proceeding seems
very Eeartlees; to those whose circle is
immense, and whose time is occupied
it is sometimes imperative 1t is, how
ever, one of the uses of the book of ct
iquette to explain that the card is Wis
it, and can be returned, and should be
received as an attention.
A lady should always rise to receive
her visitors, and should extend a hand
1t Is the American custom, and any
other style of reception seems cold. A
well-bred lady pays equal attention to
all her callers, particularly to those
whom she knows the least, and who
might be hurt by her inattention. 1t is
not customary tx introduce the resi-
dents of the same city. Strangers
should be introduced, but ladies who
sit near each other can converse with
out this ceremony. No formal calls are
made in America on Sunday. A gen.
tleman must have n lady's permission
to call on that day. In Europe it is
very different. The opera is never so
fashionable as on Sunday evening;
dinners are always given, and Sunday
is especially a fete day. But in Amer
lea all dinners and teas are informal on
that day, and generally confined to
members of ones family. Young men
who, in America, are extremely re-
miss in their social duties-are some
times told that if they send their cards
by post they have requitted the hospi-
tality of the lady who invites them.
This is far from being the opinion OF
the best ladies in society. If lady
has time to invite a gentleman to din
ner. and he comes, he should certainly
find time, either to call, in person, or
her reception day, or on some even
ing. The only person who is excused
for sending card by post is he who is
suddenly called on to leave the city, OF
who is thrown into mourning by the
death of q friend.

Etiquette of the Napkin.

1t has been stated, and very truly
too, that the law of the napkin is bu
vaguely understood. 1t may be said
however, on the start, that custom and
good breeding have uttered the decree
that it is in poor taste to put the nap
kin in the pocket and carry it away.
The rule of etiquette is becoming
more and more thoroughly established
that the napkin should be left at the
house of the host or hostess, after din
ner.
There has been good deal of dis
cussion also upon the matter Of fold
ing the napkin after dinner, and
whether it should be so disposed of or
negligently tossed into the gravy boat.
If, however, it can be folded easily, and
without attracting too much attention
and prolonging the session for several
hours, it should be so arranged, and
placed beside the plate where it may
be easily found by the hostess, and re-
turned to her neighbor from whom she
borrowed it for the occasion. If, how
ever, the lady of the house is not doing
her own work, the napkin may be
carefully jammed into globular wad,
and fred under the table, to convey
the idea of utter recklessness and PAM
pered abandon.
The use of the finger bowl is also a
subject Of much Importance to the bon
ton guest who gorges himself at the ex-
pense of his friends.
The custom of drinking out Of the
finger bowl, though not entirely obso-
lete, has been limited to the extent that
good breeding does not now permit the
guest to quaff the water from his fin
ger bowl unless he does SO prior to
using it as a finger bowl.
Thus it will be seen that social Gus
toms are slowly but surely cutting down
and circumscribing the rights and priv
ileges of the masses.
At the court of Eugenia, the customs
of the table were very rigid, and the
most prominent guests of II. X. ii. was
liable to get the &. b. if he spread his
napkin on his lap and cut his egg in

was that the napkin should be hung on

big end and scooped out with spoon.
A prominent American at her table
one day, in an unguarded moment,
shattered the shell of soft-boiled egg
with his knife, and while prying 1t
apart, both thumbs were enormously
jammed into the true ;u.ardness OF the

Juice took him in the eye, thus binding
and maddening him to such degree
that he got up and threw the remain

may readily be supposed, there was

high priced young man in among his

Measures and Men.

The seven millions, plus, of farmers
IN the United States are represented by
twelve farmers IN the lower house of
the present congress. In the senate by
one. In the house are one hundred
and ninety-fve lawyers, nineteen pro.
fessional politicians, three railroad Off
GERS, one capitalist, one clergyman,
seventeen merchants, twelve editors,
ten manufacturers, five physicians, two
civil engineers, two miners, two me-
chanics, one metallurgist. In the sem
ate are fifty-seven lawyers, five bank
officers, three railroad officials, three
professional politicians, three mer-
chants, three manufacturers, two mi
ners, two general business men, and
one editor. 1t is fortune that the in
fluence of the agriculturists of the
country in congress is not dependent
upon its thirteen direct representatives.
Every member of the national legisla-
ture who can justly lay claim to the
name of statesman must necessarily
advocate the measures designed to pro-
mote the leading industrial interests OF
the nation. A man IS not entitled to a

best man in these respects is he entitled
to the position. 1t is not to secure
seats for themselves wherein lies tie
oest political work of the farmers. 1t
is in the caucus, in the convention and
at the polls that they must make them
selves felt. Pride of profession is a

LETTING HIS BROTHER STARyE.
The Unfilial Conduct Of Justice Of
the United states Supreme Court


One of The surprises of magistrate s
life was experienced by Justice James
T. Kilbreth while he was presiding at
the Jefferson Market police court re-
Gently. A man of about so years OF
age, wearing clothes that had once
been good in cut and material, but
we're now of the shabby genteel order
and bearing in his whole appearance
and manner the marks of that painful
struggle of keeping appearances under
adverse luck, came into the courtroom,
and, walking diffidently up to the desk,
asked to have a moments conversation
with the magistrate. Justice Kilbreth
asked him what he wanted, and the
man asked for a small loan to tide him
over one or two pressing difficulties.
"But why should | be asked to lend
you money!" demanded the Justice.
Perhaps you do not remember
me-" sadly remarked the stranger. as
he looked earnestly into the magis-
trate's face.
II certainly do not. l cannot recall
your face, and do not know that
have ever seen you before" said
Justice Kllbreth.
"Well, it is not surprising" said the
mysterious visitor. ~ am a changed
man, and can hardly suppose that YOU
would recognize me My name is Mat
thews, and | was one ofthe Matthews
boys who used to live around the block
from you forty years ago."
For moment the justice did not APP
pear 10 recall the memory of "the
Matthews boys" but the stranger con-
tinued: Judge, | may as well tell
you that | am Joseph Matthews,
brother of Stanley Matthews of the
United States supreme court | am in
straitened circumstances now, Judge,
and a little money would help me to
get food and lodgings"
Justice Kilbrotb then recollected
that tie Matthews family had
been neighbors and friends of his
fathers family in his early days, and
ne recognized his visitor as his old
playmate Joseph Matthews. He told
him so, and added that he never ex.
pected to see any of that family in such
aplight.
THAT is true" said Mr.. Matthews,
'but am in hard luck. / have been
in the employ of the Pennsylvania
railroad company, and ! expect to
enter the service of the Erie road at the
beginning of April. Since l have been
out of employment l have had hard
luck, and tor two daysI have not eaten
anything"
"How is it that you are so differently
placed from your brother? Won't he
render you any assislance?" inquired
the justice.
my brother and !, judge, are not on
good terms; in fact, he does not recog-
nize me, nor has he done so since we
were boys. This led me to drink. For
years have been poor, but | have
tried hard to battle with my circum-
stances. 1t is only now, when hard
pressed, that / make known my pow
erty."
Court Officer William Morse was
called to the desk and was instructed
to accompany Mr.. Matthews to a
neighboring restaurant and furnish
him with breakfast at the magistrates
expense.
II will see to it that you are provided
with lodging, and / will assist you
until you are settled in your prom
ised situation" said the justice.
The gentleman thanked the mags-
trate and retired with pleased coun-
tenanoc.-N. Y. Star.
