Blowing Q Big Horn.

The Chinese are said to be the politest
people in Asia When q stranger or q
distinguished guest is expected in a
house of q mandarin, the mandarin re-
ceives him at the entrance of his grounds,
and, bowling to the earth, deprecates the
poverty of the entertainment which he
has to offer him, at the same time that he
sounds the praises of his guests qualities,
magnifies the honors of his official posi-
ton, if he have one, and generally exalts
him, in comparison with the lowGness of
his entertainer. Though the Chinaman
may err on the side OF self-deprecation,
asregards what he has to give as contradis-
tinguished from the honor which his Wis
itor confers upon him, yet his is of the
essence of true poiiteness.
The Spaniards are the politest people
in Europe. They are great sticklers for
etiquette. Yet they are boundless in
their hospitalities. When they receive q
guest, they solemnly and earnestly en-
deavor to impress upon him the idea that
all they possess is his that the house,
every servant therein, and every article
it contains are at his disposal, to do with
them as it pleases him At the same
time, like the Chinese, they protest their
regret that the entertainment il 80 poor

tanned.
In fact, all through the official and pri-
vate lives of the peoples of the old world
the ordinary etiquette of good manners
sets It's seal of condemnation upon what
is vulgarly described as blowing ones
own horn" 1t is not even considered
"good form" for the '1ord of the manor
to exhibit his mansion and grounds, as
Bamum exhibits his animals, as sort of
tfshow-place." The guest isreceiyed, con-
Quoted to the apartments prepared for
him, and expected to go where be pleases,
and see and enjoy what best suits his
taste and inclinations.
In America, however, we have an en-
tirely different method of receiving our
guests In some things we are certainly
progressive people. But in the matter
of official receptions we cling to the hab-
its and tactics of the London chapmen of
centuries ago. who sounded in loud tones
the praises Of their wares from the doors
of their shops Like them, we blow big
horns for. ourselves and what we have
got, entirelyoblivious of the fact that the
doing of this is reflection upon the per-
SON we are receiving, If he has few or
none of our great riches and resources,
and is at best an attempt to Offset any
real superiority on his part by vulgar
assertion of our own.-thica9o lNesos.

Some Typical Paris Charges.

I remember when L first came to
Paris being decidedly amused'at the ex-
perience of an American lady who had
an electric bell in her apartment. The
bell refused to ring one day, so she sent
for the man who had put it up to set it
to rights He showed her that there
was nothing the matter with the bell.
some mechanical interference having
prevented Z from sounding. The next
day she got his bill. After charging for
the time lost in going to and from his
shop "a legitimate charge enough). he
had added to this item: s'For looking
at the belr'-one dollar. But this bill
was surpassed by one that was lately
presented to French lady whom know
quite well. She was takeng7 i'll last
spring with typhoid fever, and was con-
fined to bed for some six weeks. Dur
ing all this time female chiropodist,
whom she had sometimes employed,
testified the most touching interest in the
case. She was never admitted to the
sick-room, but she used to come to the
door daily and inquire into the condition
of the invalid. Finally the patient be-
came convalescent. and one day the
chiropodist called and presented bill
ofstartiing Dimensions My friend was
quite amazed at the amount. as she had
only employed the woman occasionally.
On investigating the items she found one
namely, "Inquiring for Madame" " re-
peated frequently. with charge of one
dollar each time. s.What does this
meanr' she inquired Of the chiropodist,
Madame, those are the visits that 1
made while Madame was so ILL.,"
"Whati you expect to be paid for calling
to see how I wasp "Most, certainly,
Madame. -ssWho sent for you or
asked yout to corheP' s.No one; it was
only the great interest that ] took in
Madamen .sAnd you want to be paid
one dollar visit for that INTEREST," 1t is
preposterous. / shall not pay you a
single cent for anything of the kind. !"
So. despite the indignant protests of the
ehiropodist, my friend struck out every
one Of the charges for ssInquiEies aftel
Madame" which made up no less q
total than forty-two dollars. The bill,
thus shorn of three-fourths of its proper
tions. was then paid, and the woman
prepared to go. "And when will
Madame require. my services again?"
she asked. 'sNever-you have tried to
swindle me. and I shall never employ
YOU any more." Whereupon she burst
into tears and departed, declaring that
| it was her great love for Madame that
had induced her to make these constant
| inquiries, and, of course, she expected to
be paid for the time she had lost in max
| ing them.-Rdris Cor. Philadelphia

verify the bang has scooped in its tens OF

Court House Assessment.

While the order for election has not as
yet been made, few points on the subject
of the assessment may be of interest to the
citizens of Sedalia and Pettis county.
The payment necessary to be made the
first year is $1,000. $1,000 interest. and
5000 of the principle which the law re-
quires to be paid each year. The taxable
property of this county upon basis of the
last ass. ssment is $9,OO0,OOO. This would
make the assessment to meet this $11 600
eleven ninetieths of one per cent. or
twelve and two-ninths cents on the 500.
Thus a man who is worth $4,000 would
have to pay nearly $l2 22f.
This assessment, of eleventh-ninetieths of
one per cent is based upon the last returns
of the taxable property. The assessment
of next year would be based upon the pext
returns, and the principal being de-
creased, the rate would receive this double
benefit.
