Oil ON Stormy Seas.
some RECENT PROOFS OF ITS EFFICIEN-
CY IN CALMING THE ANGRY WATERS.
New York Herald.l


The value of oil thrown on the bill
lowy sea as a safeguard to tempest
tossed ships has long been asserted by
eminently competent observers, but
some recent experiments on the other
side OF the Atlantic SO strikingly attest
| the efficacy OF this simple and inexpen-
sive expedlent for quieting the sea or
breaking the force of its high crested
waves, that they cannot be ignored by
seamen. During the late Board Of
Trade inquiry into the loss of the
steamship Loeb Awe, in the North sea
lowing to the shifting of her cargo and
consequent unmanageableness' when
struck by large wave) her captain
testified that resort to this expedient
after the crew took to their only sound
boat saved them. "On the approach of
a wave," he says, I'VE poured out a
quantity of oil, and the boat drifting
from it. the wave passed us quietly.
We poured out about half pint of oil
each time, and it smoothed the head of
breaking over the boat" The London
Shipping and Mercantile Gazette of
the 18th ult., mentions that within the
last year it received from five of its
correspondents similar testimony to the
efficacy of oil in smoothing the sea
around vessels or boats in stormy
weather. Experiments recently made
at Montrose by the lifeboat at that
port, in very dangerous and rough
weather, show that on the approach of
alarmingly heavy seas the crew were
astonisned to find that by the time
the sea came to them it had fallen to
nothing" The film of oil with which
the sea is covered OF course cannot
diminish the volume of the waves.
But it is generally the crest of the
wave hurled against a craft that does
the fatal mischief, and the oil, by
smoothing the tops of the seas, renders
them comparatively harmless.
Although it may seem impracticable
to apply this means on a scale large
enough to help a vessel of much size
in an ugly ocean, there can be no doubt
that the measure would often prove
available for the boats OF a wrecked
Life Saving Service. Mechanically
the theory of Oil quieting the troubled
waters is certainly correct. The only
question as respects the practicability |
of its use is whether the endangered
life-boat or other craft can carry oil
enough to accomplish the desired end. |
In the MOntrose experiments only six |
gallons Of the complement Of dark cod
oil sufficed for quite protracted tests,
and in the case of the Loeb Awe's boat |
the wrecked crew rode out five hours |
Of storm, occasionally using very |
small quantity of the tranquillzing |
agent. As the lowest description of |
unrefined oil, easily slowed in few |
cans, will serve the purpose, this safe |
guard OF life at sea can unqestionably |
be used to great advantage in hundreds |
of shipwrecks, and should be adopted |
by every life-saving service.

Etiquette.
Home Journal. I

1t is very usual thing for those who are
either unacqualnted with the rules OF etiquette,
or think it too much trouble to be bound by
them, to sheer at them as "absurd or ridicu-
lous," and to aver that no one with any sense
ever attends to such nonsense. But those who
reflect little on the subject will soon find that
almost every positive rule OF etiquette has
some very good foundation in reason and COM
mon sense. To take, in the first place, what is
generally the first grievance attacked by those
who consider manners and courtesy to be Of
little or no eOnsequence-calls and card-leav-
ing The sense of calls is that people call who
are on sufficiently intimate terms to wish to see
each other, and that those leave cards who are
only slightly acquainted. Again, it is said
why should not visiting cards be sent by post
it would save time and trouble" But those
who say this forget that the meaning of card
is, Il called at your house as a courtesy, and
not finding you in or not knowing you were
able to receive call, I left my card This
courtesy would be done away with il the cards
were sent by post Common sense likewise
Drescribes how many cards should be left. A
lady only calls On ladies, therefore she leaves
one card for the hostess, and, if on ceremo-
NOUS terms, one for the daughters. But q
gentleman calls on host and hostess, not on
young ladies' he therefore leaves a card for
the host, one for the hostess and one for any son
with whom he may be acquitted and who lives
at home. There is clear reason for a bride
standing on the left OF the bridegroom during
the marriage service, as it indicates the infe-
riority and subsection of the wife to the hus-
band. Many people are wont to carp at the
rules and regulations which prevail respecting
mourning and to declare that they are incompa-
tible with good feeling. But they really rest on
basis OF sense. Certain lengths and depths
OF mourning are accurately prescribed for va
rous relatives. II such were not the case, one
relative would wear it more than another and
much il-feeling would ensue toward those who
had chosen the shorter period as not having
shown sufficient respect. When the orthodox
period has been observed no one has right to
complain, or, it they do, their objections can be
met by a reference to the proper time. The
use OF Grape is also condemned by some; but
this also has its distinct use Any one meeting
a lady in Grape must know that she has lately
lost some near relation, and would avoid asking
after any of her family unless certain that they
were alive; it is therefore a protection against
questions Of a painful nature. The question of
whether a lady or a gentleman is to bow first,
Or which should be first mentioned in an intro
duction, are also easily settled-the rule that
the lady is the superior settles the matter at
once. In short there are few, If any points of
etiquette that cannot be at once settled by a
moments thought as to the common sense Of
the matter.

A Circassian Cavalry Feat.
indianapolis Sentinel.)

Gen. Wallace the American Minister
at Constantinople, was recently invited
by the Sultan to witness a drill of his
household troops, and he thus describes
q performance of the Circassian caval-
ry: -Four companies, magnificently
mounted, were in line. A bugle cali,
and the right company dashed through
to the front at full speed. Another call,
there was a beautiful feat. Each man
the rein close to the bit, pulled hard.
and threw his horse flat on his left side.

on the ground behind the horse, he be.
gan firing as skirmisher. A third call.
the company rose up with their horses
and retreated at full speed, reforming
as they went. As I had never even
heard Of such thing, you can imagine
my astonishment.D
