day gentleman called to see the
school. an acquaintance of the teacher
who knew how to talk to children.
After telling him of the breaking OF the
glass and her inability to ascertain who
Of the bows had broken it, she asked
him to make some remarks to the school
and to speak of the wrong the boys were
doing in not acknowledging the act.
The address to the school, therefore,
was upon the conduct OF boys IN the
streets and at their sports. He told
them in simple words that. honesty
. truthfulness and kindness should govern
their conduct everywhere, even when
thew were alone and no one but them
selves and God knew what they were
doing. The scholars seemed inter
ested and somewhat impressed by the
remarks of the speaker. ...A
A short time after he left the school
a little boy arose in his seat and said:
..Miss Lane, I batted the ball that
broke Mr.. Dash's window. Another
boy threw the ball, but l batted 1t, and
it struck the window. am willing to

AllMeeH IN PRria.

A company Of Algerine dancing girls,
four in number, are now exciting a con-
siderable degree Of interest in Paris,
Marian and Aloha are very young and
pretty, and tho other two, both of whom
bear the name Fora, makeup for the lack
Of beautiful face by certain richness
Of costume and grace of gesture. The
Oldest Fora wears a magnificent coronet
Of diamonds, and is said to resemble q
japanese idol. The orchestra consists
of violin, guitar, and a drum: and the
dancing to be properly appreciated should
be seen iii small room. Marian wears
a bodice of blue silk embroidered in sill
yer, white silk trousers, a band Of purple
around her jet-black hair, and earrings,
bracelets and spangles Of gold. Each
girl rises and dances in turn, then two
more repeat the dance with variations.
The dark skin Of the ankles is relieved
by gold bracelets. Their feet are bare,
and at first glide softly over the floor
without seeming to leave the surface.
The body Is swayed from the hips, and
pieces Of red silk are swayed by the dane
ers. The contortions become more COM
plex and the movements more rapid as
the time Of the music increases. From
the account one would Judge that the
dance is Of a rather voluptuous nature.
1t is termed the Oriental cancan. The
girls now In Paris are said to be remark
ably fond Of champagne, singular taste

Take Caro- OF tho Eyes.

Nellie, I fear you will injure your
eyes," said to young girl, who sat
reading in the twilight. ''My eyes are
very strong" she replied, "why, I can
look right straight at the SUM-" Now
every one will acknowledge that such
eyes are a great blessing, seldom pos
sessed by the present weak-eyed gener-
alton; but I fear even Nellie's strong
eyes will soon be injured il she persists
in using them under such trying cir
misunderstanding fine print in tho
moonlight, or at long distance from
the lamp, or allowing the full glare of
the MONDAY sun to reflect into her eyes
from the printed page. Sewing on
black goods by the lamp light she
thinks nothing Of, nor of sitting up
until midnight half the night in the
week to read an interesting book.
Now all these things are hurtful to the
eyes, and no more tllan one person in a
thousand can practice them and remain
uninjmed. AS no one can be sure of
being the lucky person, it behooves all
to take proper care Of these priceless
members.

that his teeth seemed to rattle in his
head. sWho are you shaking ofP' says
he. Goodness gracious cried the
woman, that is not my husbands voice. ,

HOrse.Car Manners.

When a gentleman boards a horse.
car he should jump on to the feet of as
many platform passengers as possible.
BY so doing he not only discovers the
easy self-position of the man of society,
but he also assists in the discourage
ment of the dangerous practice Of riding
OH the outside Of a car.
1t is preferable to get ON the front
platform, which will give you an oppor-
tunity to open the forward door, thus
ventilating the car and distributing ca
tarrh, sore throat and pneumonia among
the passengers.
BE not in an immoderate hurry when
the conductor passes through the car
collecting fares. Patience is virtue,
and you should do what you can to as.
sist the conductor in cultivating it.
Never offer your seat to an elderly
woman. She has not long to live, and
little rest can not materially lengthen
her days. It is in youth that the seeds
of disease are implanted. Therefore,
you should never give up your seat to
any but young lady. You help her to
build up a strong constitution by avert
ing WEAKNESS and undue tension of the
muscles.
If you can do it without making your
self sick, chew tobacco, using the straw
for cuspidor. Tobacco, you know, is
a powerful disinfectant, and, besides, if
passengers were too careful to preserve
the cleanliness Of the straw, the penuri-
ous officers might neglect to replenish
it as often as sanitary considerations de-
manded.
Smoking, unfortunately, is forbidden,
except in the open cars; but by carrying
a lighted cigar into the car and letting
it go out gradually, you will be enabled
to pelmeate the interior with eflluvia
which will drive out any disease germs
that may be floating about.
Never give your seat to a homely
woman. 1t is the duty of woman to
be beautiful, and if she neglects that
duty, take good care that you do yours
by furnishing her for her negligence.
Never take the child in your lap, that
a gentleman may have seat, and if the
conductor suggests that children occu-
pying seats must pay fare, refuse abso-
lutely to notice his suggestion. Take
advantage of your sex when opportunity
offers. Conductors rarely put women
Off the cars.
When lady leaves car while it is
III motion let her face to the rear. She
will probably geta fall, but what Of that2
If she is lady of spirit she is not going
to be dictated to by an arrogant mono-
poly.
When the car stops within few feet
of where she wishes to land, no lady
who respects her rights will get out.
She will wait until the car starts, and
then have it stopped for her individu-
ally. She has paid her fare and is Ell
titled to her rights, and ought to have
them, even if it kills the horses.
or course it Is unnecessary to remind
the gentlemen that it is their bounden
duty to look the ladies on the opposite
seat out of cOuntenance.
1t is also unnecessary to say to the
ladies that when taking All open car
they should never neglect to sit upon
one of the smokers seats. The man
who smokes in public is never 50 happy
as when a face is near to receive his
fumid exhalations, and you thus con-
tribute to his happiness, besides making
yourself happy by having something to
grOwl at.
