Little Uourtesies in Life.


The little things OF life have far
more effect upon our character, repu-
tation, happiuess and friendship than
the heartless and thoughtless are apt to
imagine. There are very few indeed,
however, rough by nature, who are
not touched by Kindness and court
esy.
a pleasant word, well.put compli-
ment, a friendly bow of recognition,
all have an influence for good, while
surliness and Indifference tend to pro-
duce the opposite result
There are chances almost every day
for US to practice the liltle courtesies
Of life on some neigbbor or friend, yet
we let the chance pass Thus friend
ly call is moi returned neighborly
visit is disregarded smile is met
with look of cold Indifference a
cordial grasp Of the hand is returned
with reluctance kind word is left
unanswered. Still all this may mean
nothing, yet the effect upon the mind
is not pleasant by any means.
a person may be willing to confer a
favor again ard again, but unless there
be some manifestation of gratitude
unless, indeed, the disposition to be
apparent to do something in returp,
the party who confers the obligation
will in short time grow weary Of
well doing, and seek for some more
grateful object on which to confer fa
yors. Remember kind words cost
| nothing.

The Position Of Italian Women.

1t is quite curious to note how a
young, aspiring, professedly liberal
nation like Italy lags behind in the
most important question of female ed
ucation and social position. The rules
for regulating tn" latter--the absolute
seclusion and strict constraint of the
young girls and the unbounded freed
ON which they attain as soon as they
are married-are the causes of much
that impedes the progress of this most
intelligent people of the worlds race.
Conservative England is, in compari-
son, the land of freedom and equality.
remember Prof, Bonamy Price, of
Oxford, telling me last winter when |
met him at the house of friend here
that the very best and most succint an-
swer to question he put in the course
OF one OF his famous lectures on polit-
ical economy he received from young
lady. 1t proved, he said, that she had
thought, and had, moreover, given her
powers of ratiocination full play be-
fore answering. Well, this was not an
overpoweringly novel idea to me, but |
know well if the Professor had told
his story to Italian auditors it would
have been received either with smiles
of incredulity or with stares of blank
amazement. A clever Italian friend
once said TO me "Oh woman who
reasons is horrible creature !" But
thought to myself at the tine that he
would scarcely appreciate the blessing
of an utterly unreasonable female in
the capacity of wife, sister or dangh-
ter Luckily their practice is not al.
ways quite so bad as their profession.
observe that a lady has just been ap-
pointed Professor of Latin and Greek
at the College for the higher education
of Women at Rome, which is named
after the late distinguished Sgnora
Emilia Fua-Fu.enato This is the first
appointment of the kind on record, and
il is quite certain that nothing but the
undouhted capacity Of the fair candi
date would have procured her admis-
sion. So that is step in the right di
reetioo,.- Rome Letter in Chicago

Sleeping-Car Brutality.

OF all the a%nnoyances of travel few are
more complained of than the insolence
and airs of sleeping-car conductors.
Employed by corporations that have no
headquarters in the State, to which cases
OF inattention or misconduct can be re,
ported, some of them seem to consider
themselves absolved from all responsible
ity, and their conduct towards passen-
gers Is often such as to severely test the
temper OF all but the most patient. There
are, it is true, many creditable exceptions
where employees in this line of duty are
as thoughtful and courteous as could be
desired by the most exacting traveller,
and to such these remarks do not, of
course, apply. 1t is in cases like that
given in the Jonesboro Herald and Trib-
une, that prompt remedy should be pro-
vlded and a.severe penalty applied.
