The house sets back from the road about one

about two acres, are well kept and the whole

Etiquette at Places of Amusement t


tits evident that new text book is
needed on etiquette in places of public
amusement. There is no good reason
why the polite consideration which
well-bred men and women show to
each other in church should not be
also exhibited in the theatre, and in
the lecture and concert room. A de-
cent respect for the rights of others is
always characteristic of the true gen.
tleman under all circumstances, and
the man or woman who diSregardS
the comfort and convenience of an
audience, is deficient in good manners
Some of the theatre vices are so often
sive to good taste that they ought to
be abolished. There are those who
come in late to be fashionable, or to be
looked at, who. while the performance
on the stage is in progress, disturb
those whose seats happen to be in their
row. Another impolite class is COM
posed mostly of young men, who in
variably go out at the conclusion of
every act and return with the odor
of cloves in the mouth. When they
go out and when they return the
ladies and gentlemen who sit between
them and the aisleS must rise and let
them pass. Another unmannerly fell
low is the one who is constantly talk
ing while the play or the music is in
progress; another is the chap who is
constantly kicking the seat in front of
him, not rejecting that his neighbours
seat is paid for and that he ought to
be allowed to occupy 1t undisturbed.
Last of all is the woman in front Of
you with an enormous hat which COM
pletely hides your view of the stage.
She is the greatest nuisance of them

Seedy Toe in HOrseS

Prof. Wortley Axe, of the Royal
Veterinary College, has started q TO-
tally new idea of the nature of the
disease in the horses foot known as
seeiy toe. While examining some of
the broken-up horny matter which
forms the contents of the cavity in
the wall of the foot affected. Mr.. Axe
found immense numbers of extremely
minute nematode worms, male and
female, portions of the worms, ova in
abundance, and dead and living en-
bryos. The male worm is provided
with very strong boring tooth or
spike, and by the aid of this instru-
ment the creature could easily cut up
the horn. In some cases of seedy toe
no worms can be found, and the point
can only be determined by the micros-
copic examination Of number OF
specimens. The worms are about one
thirtieth of an inch in lentgth.
