Public POliteness.

was coming up town, and entered the
stage in which five elegantly. dressed and
tine-looking women were sitting on each
side of it. They might be the lady pa
tronesses of some society. There was
room for another person on each side,
but not one of those women moved to
make room for me, and rode mile or
more, while these ten womcn-I do not
say ladies-declined to give me n see.t 81
they could have done any moment with
out rising or crowding. The most of
them were probably mothers. But as
the instinct of good manners-that is,
Of politeness, which Is simply the law
of kindness-was not in the breast of
one of the ten, what is to be expected of
their children? They cannot teach what
they do not know, and, as they know
nothing of politeness, their children will
be Doors.

advantage of my holding it open,

all over. The great Athenian philoso-
pher said that democracy has the found

good as another, if not little better.
And many wise men have insisted that
popular government tends to destroy

I do not say the politest nations are the
strongest, nor that it is impossible to get
money, and power, and all that, with
the manners of q pig. The very trait of
character which the gentleman who
pays the rint" exhibits when he
puts his foot into the trough to keep
others away while he eats, is the trait of
many who succeed in getting much
money. But there is better way. And
it is the way that has few walking in it,
in this day Of ours.

A Kiss on the SLY.

There is to be found much refresh
ment in well-proportioned kiss. This
much everybody acknowledges, though
only frank few have the courage to ac-
knowledge it openly. AS it is curious
fact, yet unexplained by the philoso-
pliers, that the slyer the kiss is the more
is in it of refreshment.
A kiss that is paid as o forfeit before a
whole room full of people is prosaic, not
to Say embarrassing. The girl laughs,
which spoils the romance, and the fellow,
ten to one, blushes-neither of them
thinking much of it, and they are both
apt pretty soon to forget all about it.
But let the same fellow kiss the same
girl when nobody is looking, and the situ-
alton is as different as possible. That
sort of kiss, fred off In hurry behind
the door or in a conservatory, is like an
electric shock, and is as sweet as cream.
The taste of it sort of holds on and con-
stantly suggests the propriety--or i'm
propriety, as the case may ba--of trying
it again. And the laughing and blush
ing are exactly reversed. The fellow
laughs without spelling the romance a
bit, and the girl bushes like a pink
carnation.
1t is queer that the very same thing
should, under such slightly al cred cir
cnmstances, be SO ,ntirely different, nor
is it any the less queer because the diff.
ference has existed from the earlieB' age
Of the world. --PhitaolekaohiG Times.

THERE is no law in this country to
prevent the consumption of hot bread
but the law OF common sense, and un-
fortunately that is q dead letter as O.
governing principle in the lives of q
great many people. That hot bread in
nine cases out OF ten will produce dys-
pepsia Is no newly discovered fact, and
especially is this terrible result sure to
follow persistent indulgence ON the part
of those whose pursuits are quiet, in
doors and sedentary. And yet the re-
formers, or those who call themselves
such, the men and women who work
themselves into white heat over the sale
of q glass OF cider, will go on year after
year, not only making no outcry against
this pernicious indulgence, but actually
filling themselves up day by day with
the hot and poisonous gases Of the oven.
This servant of the housewife can be
made as terrible stomach destroyer as
the distillery, and the sworn foes of the
latter are apt to be its best patrons.

temper as surely as dram drinking, and
many sufferers from the former, though

goes on making himself and those
around him wretched, and refuses to
acknowledge that he is o sinner above
those whose lighter faults he fercely
| condemns.

Preserving Fowls Wings.

Turkey and geese wings are one of the
greatest conveniences in o household,
and every woman knows how to appre-
ciate them, not only for dusting furni-
ture, stoves, cobwebs, etc., but also for
washing sinks and windows, and for
spreading paste on wall paper. It is al
ways trouble to keep the moths from
running them in warm weather, as they
seem to revel in the heshy part of the
wing I have tried faithfully various
methods to preserve them, such rs bind
ing the ends with linen cloth, burying in
ashes and dipping in brine, but could
find nothing that was perfectly reliable
till two years ago an accident revealed
try it for their own benefit.
A pail of strong copperas watep was
set away to cool over night, preparatory
to using in the cellar, and by some mis-
chance package of wings hanging over
head fell into the water with the joint
ends down. In the morning they were
taken out and flung into the woodshed
supposing they were ruined. Some weeks
after, supposing they were dry enough
to burn, they were picked up to carry to
the Kitchen range, but instead of being
ruined, they were in the very best state
of preservation-not moth visible or q
feather loose--and they lasted the best
of any wings ever used. Last year I
repeated the experiment of dipping them
in copperas water, and the result was
splendid; and hereafter it will he my
rule in preparing wings for service, to
dip them as soon as possible after they are
taken of, and then string them up in n
dry place till they ere needed for use. 1t
has often been said that some of the
most useful methods of doing work, and
recipes, were the result of accident ips~
stead of design. The method of<pre
serving wings was purely accidental and

Formersy the pencils Of Latour, tho
paint brushes OF Largilliere and of Wat
tsaus took the responsibility of leaving
TO posterity q charming image of the
Princesses Of their time. To-day it is
the pens OF literary gentlemen, who, re-
manning inactive in a political uoint OF
view, exercise themselves In tracing
delicate sketches and paint with art the
most royal of beauties, to wit 4 the Queen
of Italy.
In times gone by, not very long ago.
she was then her Royal Highness- she
would appear fresh and blonde as q tea
rose, dressed In white, her delicate
shoulders bent by the weight of pearls. q
fringe of diamonds In her hair, sparkling
with youth, brilliancy, candor, and wit,
happy to be admired and still happier to
do good. The orown was only lacking.
AS the artist hesitated to give the last
touch to his masterpiece, fortune seemed
to wait before placing the emblem of
royalty on this young brow.
She was the Marguerite Of Marguerites,
to-day she Is Queen Marguerite In all
the bloom of her beauty her form has
become more round without losing any
| of its elegance; her hand is always as
| delicate; her feet still plays with the
as much suavity in her blue eyes, but it
is bathed in more depth. The rose tint
of her eyelids shows that grief has con-
secrated this ideal of sovereign. The
Queen has wept. What is Queen who
knows not tears? They owe them to
their people, as the Kings do their
hearts blood, and who knows If
they have not the same weight in the
| Councils of Proyidence? ?
Never was o Queen Marguerite more
worthy of the name of flower and of q
precious stone. She continues the
illustrious and radiant necklace of pearls
begun by Marguerite de Provence and
continued to shine with special luster in
Marguerite de Navarro:
| "Cette belle anne 81 hardie
Qui pleura tant apreS Pavie"
When the Queen travels by sea, the
whole crew, from the Commanding
Admiral to the smallest sailor boy, wears
the Marguerite boutonniere, humble
homage which profoundly touches her.
II love to see my name," said she one
day, "written on the hearts of 80 many
of my good people,"
Naples, her favorite city, the beautiful
city Of the Vesuvius, whose name has
been to the Prince, is one immense
bouquet of Marguerites when she makes
her appearance there thousands of those
stars with white petals cover the streets,
ornament the windows. When the
Prince Of Naples was born the city
wished to offer the cradle to the mother.
1t was all engraved in rose coral, and
the Queen received this jewel filed with
asnow of marguerites. Translated from
the Paris Figaro.

Dear Girl8-Let me entreat you never
TO form habit of borrowing
in season and out of season borrowing
dresses and wraps, ribbons and pins,
scissors and thread, dimes and pencils,
until your friends will expect to hear
you say, "Please, may borrow" each
time you look into their rooms. Lend
ing is q real kindness, and betokens an
obliging spirit; but borrowing shows
careless management and no proper re-
gard for the rights Of others. To be
sure, it is sometimes necessary even
with the best regulated household,
wardrobe or work-box. Still I have q
real regard for those who will deny them
selves pleasure or put off a time of
enjoyment rather than borrow. But of
| all things, never ask the loan of clothing
Some persons are 80 sensitive that if
they could afford it they would rather
| throw away O garment another had worn
you may think this foolish, you must
bear in mind that the garments belong
to their friend, and by asking to borrow
them, you force her to choose between
furnishing herself with complying or
offending you with denial.
Perhaps the girl readers are not ad-
dicted to this exasperating habit, and
do not need this talk. There is, how
ever, among my acquaintances maiden
who makes herself one of my greatest
trials. She asks for my scarf to wear to
the city, for my shawl when she visits
her aunt, for my hood when she goes
skating. One of my dresses figured Mt
her cousins wedding one of my neck
ties is seen in her photograph; she pro-
tects her hands with my mittens, walks
lry-shod in my rubhers, and warns her
fingers in my mutf. Yet she is 50 help.
full, and sociable, and amiable, and re-
turns so readily and neatly each article
borrowed, that seldom venture re-
1fusal, especially when 1 remember that
her wardrobe is scaptily furnished. Still
often take myself severely to task for
allowing girl with such excellent traits
to pass into womanhood with this disa-
greeable one. SO full of the hope that
she will see this talk, I send it on it's
mission, trusting it will help some
maiden to become more agreeable
woman.-"Aeust OliUa" IN Country Geaa-

A Remarkable PInnto

Anise grows wild in Egypt, in Syria,
Palestine and all parts of the Levant,
but the Romans considered the Egyptian
and Cretan anise to be the best, espec-
tally for medicinal purposes. The pro
duct of Southern Europe is now looked
upon with favor. Among the ancients
| anise seems to have been common pot
herb in every garden. Although it is
| less used in medicine by tho moderns
than by the ancients, it still retains its
| former reputation as an excellent stom-
| eohic, particularly for delicate women
and young children. The Romans
chewed it in order to keep up an agree
able moisture in the mouth, and to
sweeten the breath, while some Orien-
tails still do the same. Some of the Per-
sian poets have sung the agreeable quail
tiles OF the anise, and modern sweet
ballad OF Rome compares the slender
grace of young girl to the anise.
Anlse IL an annual plant growing to
the height of one foot, carries q white
flower, and blooms from june till Au-
gust. The seeds are imported and used
in large quantities on account of their
aromatic and carminative properties.
The distilled plant, when used in bios
som, yields q sweeter and more gratful
hncture than can be obtained from tn
seeds. Anise is extensively employed
by the confectioner for the purpose OF
havoring comtits and cordials. The anisc
seed cordial of the shops is o compound
of alcohol, anise seed aud angelica. The
oil is obtained by distillation from the
seeds, and though habitualiy mixed with
a great many cattle medicines, and re-
garded by the farmers of former genera
tions as one of the most potent drugs, it
performs scarcely any other office than
the communicating of an agreeable fra.
GRANGE. The Chinese cultivate it for the
seasoning of dishes; and the Japanese
employ bundles and garlands of it in the
ceremonies of their heathenish supersti-
tion. Its appearance, when out of flower,
as well as when In bloom, is decidedly
ornamental. '"'T
