Concerning G-irt-TaIsIng.

lDO7tCh ohOOt.l
A few things that a young lady may not
do might be suggested. She should, il pos
sible, endeayor to avoid all pecuninry obli-
cations to gentlemen Young men often
think it n necessary piece of politeness to pay
for ladies when they can ill afford it; there
fore, 1t is safest to make a rule, subject, per-
haps, to an exception now and then, never to
receive such favors from young mon.
Accepting presents from a gentleman. I'M
less engaged to him, is a dangerous thing.
Some men conclude from your taking one
gift from them that you will accept another,
and think themselves encouraged by it to
offer their hearts to you; but even where no
misapprehension of this kind follows it is bet
ter to avoid all such obligations, and II you
make it a general rule never to accept a
present from a gentleman you will avoid
hurting any ones feelings, and sa We yourself
from some perplexity.
or all the votive offerings made to u young
girl, flowers are the most beautiful and unex-
ceptionable. When it is the fashion for
gentlemen to present bouquets to their
friends, so many are given that it seems
more a tribute to the sex than n mark of
particular regard, and their perishable
nature releases them from the ban put upon
more enduring memorials. You can accept
and wear flowers, and to refuse them would
be unnecessary rigor.
In a general statement it may be as well to
say that etiquette would prevent a young
lady from receiving gifts from gentlemen,
except flowers and b~onbonnieres. 1t is not
considered proper for her to accept iewelry
from any one but u relative or her fiancee
just before marriage. If it is unsafe to re-
ceive presents it is doubly so to make them
to gentlemen, aud this never should be done
except in very unusual instances. Each one
can best decide this matter for herself.
Where a doubt exists the wisest course is to
give ones self the benefit, by making no
presents to gentlemen.

Very handsome ornaments can be made
out of common things by the aid of varnish
and bronze. Any plaster-of-Paris figure can
be rendered into something pretty and not
common. Old pictnre-frames can be reno
waited with no trouble at all. The frames of
broken mirrors can DO made new and a
furniture dealer can put in another glass for
half the price OF a new mirror.

a few drops Of Japan varnish. With this
preparation varnish your frame, or whatever
You may wish to bronze. Then get about
5cents' worth Of gold bronzing and dip n lit
tie bit of velvet into it and rub lightly over
every part of the frame or figure or vase.
Continue this until every part is well bronzed.
Then you may rub it down very smooth, or
leave it as it first appears-just as your taste
may approve. Tn little, insipid white fig

b. made into real statuettes, and they will
seem rare and interesting. A humble little
vase or jar can be made to pass for q good
deal more than a vase or jar, when seen from
a bracket holding n spray of red berries or
painted grasses, or as the base of an artificial
vine.

The Formal ..CalI.-

1SNaO a ANS1
Whatever may betide, men have good
cause to rejoice that they bear no part
In that browning bore of all bores known as
the formal CALI That is a feminine insti-
tuition. 1t is an invention of the sex, and the
sex groans under its yoke.
Man smokes his Durham IN beatifc peace.
whilst the wife and daughters pay tribute to
the formal call He hears the soto voce
prayer that parties will be out, and that the
matter can be dispatched with a card. He
quietly notes the sigh Of relief when the ex-
hausted women return after hours OF social
distress. He observes the tax of dress incl
dent TO the affair, the bad temper It invokes,
and the hypocrisy and total absence of any
equivalent in the way of pleasure for all this
slavish adherence to custom, and then dimly
realizes the miraculous felicity of his own
escape from such thraldom, and it may be
takes comfort in the thought that the whole
business falls totally on those who have made
him pay the piper for countless other freaks
and whims OF fashion and caprice.
The elasticity OF conscience with which the
gentle creatures endeavor TO mitigate the in
Fiction OF the formal call by convenient fbs,
furnishes the rnascu line monster some anus
ing fool for study, and it may be doubted
whether he would bulge an inch to abolish
the formal call. 1t is diamond cut diamond;
women annoying women. In such \ trans.
action the wise man holds aloof and lets the
dainty belligerents Incorporating as friends
manage the hollow aud artificial show as
suits themselves. 1t is not often that he has
an opportunity Of keeping out of a game
in which women array their wits against one
another, instead of against the common ty-
rant, man he is at liberty to be judiciously
silent and hear the fair prattlers discuss each
other In n style utterly unlike the fancy pict-
ures of noyelists and poets, and if he doesn't
get some wholesome enlightenment he is
hopelessly stupid.

Gus blendings OF the different natures, as
far as possible.

For some time the Buffalo Historical So
ciety has had safely locked within its vaults
the bones of the great Indian warrior and
statesman Red Jacket. They were removed
from an old Indian burying-ground four
miles from Buffalo, for the purpose OF rein
terring them quietly at Forest Lawn Gene

been such general iuterst in the matter that
it has been decided to make the affair n ma
tional event The plans include a grand last
congress of the confederacy OF tho Six Ma
tions Of the Iroquois. These were the Mo
hawks. Cayugas. Senecas, Tuscaroras, Onon-
dagas and Oneidas. A large subscription Is
to be raised to bring as many representatives
Of the Six Nations as will come. An effort
will be made to make it a fitting tribute TO
the dead warriors who lived aud worked aud

A good idea for women who like To dress
their hair to suit the curves of their head and
yet have no guiding instinct about it, would

A sound body has more TO do with success
In life than most persons realize. There are
instances where men in continued i'll health
have achieved eminence, but this is not the
rule, Alexander H. Stephens of Georgia,
and Thaddeus Stevens, of this state, our old
commoner, were remarkable men, because,
despite ill-health, they impressed themselves
on the nation. There are other cases in distant
lands-enough to prove the rule. We'd not,
Of course, hear of tho many failures in life
resulting from i'll health. The failures, either
in speculation or life, are not paraded. But
there are examples where ~momentary spasms
of ill-health have clouded tho minds of men
of genius, and deranged their plans. Napo-
leon lost one of his great battles because Of a
fit OF indigestion. .And when the mind must
carry the ailments OF a diseased body, and
yet do its legitimate work, it evidently must
perform double duty. Hence a healthy body
has much to do with success In life.
One of the first considerations then In
family training is that which relates to
health, and this is the more important in our
day, when so much Of a child's life is spent
in close school-rooms and it is compelled to
breath a vitiated, unprecedented atmosphere.
Pure air and exercise are natures great re-
s~torntives, and these need to be intelligently
and regularly impaired. The play-cure for
children is far better than summer resorts
and medicated waters Play suppoSes out
door exercise. It imparts buoyant spirits,
cheers tho mind, gives healthy tone to the
thought and makes the blood pure and
strong. But play alone is not best-as all
work is not. "All work and no play makes
Jack a dull boy" is a true adage. Still some
work is needed for its disciplinary influence,
and to mako firm the muscles and nerves.
This work should be, so far as possible, out
OF doors. But il this cannot be given, a saw
and buck for wood in the cellar is better than
no work at all.
Another element favorable TO good health
e pure mir when sleeping. If children are
accustomed TO ventilated rooms, they will
Ultimately enjoy them, and willie oppressed
10 an unyentilated room. And they will
sleep soundly and BEAUTIFULLY when tho cold
air of winter is pouring in-so it does not
blow on them. Sleep under such conditions
is not affected by troubled dreams, nor is it
followed by nervous headache. Healthful
sleep is dreamless. And this supposes pure
air and not too much heat. A cold room is
better than an overheated room. But one
that is sufficiently comfortable for prepara-
tions for retiring to be made without a chill
is best. Children thus reared will grow up
BEAUTIFULLY, and this good health, with in
telligent, practical education and self-re-
lance, will be of more value than thousands
Of unearned capital.
