Good Manners.

Never pick yOur teeth az table.
Never seal a letter of Introduction.
Remember everything except an injury.
Do not make an ostentatiOn of your dress.
The grace of patience well becomes a
man.
The guest who comes late spoils the din
ner.
True pollteness has no time to think Of
itself.
Self-consciOusness is the essence of vul-
garity.
Good temper is the essence of good man
nerS.
Do not press favor where you see it will
be uHwelcome.
There is no fattery so exquisite as the
fiattery Of listening.
The last injury which man fOrgiyeS is a
wrong 10 his self-lOve.
4 sarcasm is like a bOomerang-you never
know where it may light.
\ married lady when she makes call
viii leave her husbands card.
be careful how you convince your friend
that he has made a mistake.
a young lady may give her hand TO a
stranger, but viii not shake his.
in helping any one At table never use a
knife when you can use spoon.
Pride, Immature and want of sense are
the three great sources of ill-mannerS.
II you meet an acquaintance while walk
ing with friend do not introduce them.
A rudeneSs is worse than crime: it is a
blunder because il is 50 easy to be polite.
Learn to hold thy tongue. Five words
cost ZaclariaS forty weeks silence"
In passing from the drawing room TO the
dining-rOom the lady takes precedence.
Give up TO cads and SnobS the practice of
smoking In the streets or in theater.
Never use your knife TO convey your food
to your mouth under any circumstances.
Nothing indicates a well-bred man more
than proper mode Of eating his dinner.
The most disagreeable talk is that which
turns upon mans or wOman'S maladieS.
A married lady should treat stranger
with reserve, an acquaintance with reti-
cence.
In making calls do your best to tighten
the infection TO Your hostess. Do not stay
| long.

SEASONABLE RHYMES.
LOVES YOUNG DREAM.


Now the youth and gentle maiden, who are
dreaming loves young dream,
Think that life is naught but sunshine, cara
mels and lemon cream.
RICH AND POOR.
Now the folks, who can afford it, rush for
GOODNESS TO the mountains,
While the toilers in the city seek the same at
soda fountains.
THE PLUMBERS RIVAL.
Now the druggists face is beaming, as the
nickels to him pass,
And he thinks there's fun in selling froth at
half a dime glass.
IT'S IN SEASON AGAIN.
Now the green cucumber cometh for season
brief to stay,
And the doctors are preparing remedies for
cholera.
is MISTAKEN FOR BLUEBERRY.
Now that foe to human comfort, singing,
tantalizing fly,
Is mistaken for berry and is served up in
the pie.
MYSTERY.
Now the boy who wasn't swimming" and
who wishes none to doubt
That he's truthful, can't imagine why his shirt
is inside out.

Fault-Fineiug atTabIe.

Woe betlde the woman married to a man
VINO Systematically growls at the tablet
Life brings her neither peace nor happiness;
three times day her husband grOwls and
Snarls like any other wild animal over his
food. knew q man of this kind once,
and how pitied mis- wife and daughtersI
One of the latter married in haste one day
Joined her fortunes with those of a COM
paratiVeiy poor man, not exactly in the
same set in which she was accustomed to
live IN, simply to have her meals in peace.
Ii is said she made her future husband
swear that he would never make a fuss
over his dinner, and l understand that to-
day they are the happiest couple
living. Reconciliation took place
before they were married, but they
left before the nuptual breakfaSt-we all
remarked tllat-and though, of course, she
visited the house, nothing could ever in
duce her TO take a meal there. She is a
woman of spirit. As for the mans wife
poor woman, Maybe in younger days she
might have thought of possible relief by
means of divorce. and they do say-mind
you, 90 not assert it, though it did come
from a distinguished jurist-that some
thing of this kind was entertained; but
such plea of mental insanity, when only
food was placed before him, could not be
advanced, for in every other relation of
life-that is 10 say save when ut the table
he was amiability itself. If he We're only
younger the habit might be whipped out of
him; as it is, it can only be borne with
patience. -Philadelpha Call.

Dress Slavery.

Woman is most slavish in America, in
the land where she should be most free.
The Greek women possessed a costume so
simple and permanent that it is possible
now 10 restore the Greek style for the dra-
matte art; this art could also call up a Latin
dame or maiden: it gives us a Cuban or a
Mexican girl in full dress, but should some
future dTamatiSt wish to tell the folks of the
twenty-tirst century how women dressed in
America when Cleveland or Lincoln was
president, that student of art will have a
sad time of it, for he would find himself
among millions of bOnnetS. varying
from the size of an oyster shell
To the proportions of a coal scuttle; he
would find himself among pile of dresses,
of which some were armleSS, some with
arms large as coffee sack, some with the
waist near the shoulders, some with the
waist down on the hips, some with skirts
ten feet long, some cut off far up toward
the knee, like her of the story to whom
Along came a peddler, whose name was
Stout,
To cut OF her petticoats all round about"
If any element We're wanting to complete
the despair OF such future cOStumer. he
could NIL his cup of misery by wondering
whether the glove was six inches long or
twenty, and Dolly Warden goods were worn
rs ball dresses or as night gowns; and
whether what were called ''bustles" were
worn under the dress or entirely on the out
side. In one particular this future COS
tuner may be congratulated. for, fix upon
what toilet he might, he could not be much
out or the way.-PrOf. Swing

E.tttIe Girls, Fashions.

The old-fashioned bluffs in cotton are
fashiOnably used for children this season
and make up charmingly with the white
and eeru embroideries for yokes and ruff
flies.
Some of the prettiest dresses for little
girls are made in strawberry or old-gold
Satins. in the very tinieSt checks, in blouse
styles. trimmed with tinted lace and bows
OF ribbon.
Little girls guImpes of Turkey red are
often worn with white frocks.
Pretty aprons for little girls are made in

Shoe, Fan and KerchIef.

Low shoes are worn out of doors with
black or dark cOlOred stockings.
Black costumes with black hats and par
asols. enlivened by necktie OF bright rib
bon and bow of the same ON the parasol,
are much WON in Paris.
4 black satin dress is dTaped on one side
with jetted net; narrow panel OF fine
Chsntilly lace in shell plaitings follows the
line of the folds. The other side is quite
plain.
Feather fans approach in shape those Of
fifty years ago and are adorned on the con-
cave side with an aigrette and birds head.
The combination of feathers is especially
beautiful.
The shoes for outdoor costumes may be
black or match the dress. \ noticeable de
parture from rigid custom IS the independ-
ence of many who eschew the long pointed
shoes. They may be of any shape that is
most comfortable TO the weaTer.
Handkerchiefs TO be worn at the belt are
Of black. blue or red batiste. The black
ones are embroidered with red and ecrI, the
blue with red and the red with ecru and
blue. Some of the French linen batiste
handkerchiefS show eXquisiiely embroidered
garlandS in which the quaint edelNeiss
plays an important part.

IIER MAJEsTY,s OLD STAG.
Peculiar Feature of Riding 4,
Hounds i'm Werrle England.


Hunting in England with the royal pack
and with many other packs has its absurd
side as viewed by the wanderer from New
England, who has not had the privilege"
of being to the manner born.
This standard field amusement of the
nOblemen and gentlemen of the British
isles is often conducted in such a machine
like-such an artificial manner as 10 seem
rather ridiculous TO the American who has
had only a book acquaintance with what
Englishmen claim to be the most manly
ana praiseworthy of their Out-Of-door sports.
AS pictured in English sporting novels and
in general English sporting literature, the
chase may have its special charms for the
devOtee of athletics. But closely observed
by practical and sensible tourist from the
new world, il often takes on the aspect of
childs play. In Illustration of this fact,
take the last record of day
with her maieSty's stag hounds
at Slough, Barnett and whereabouts.
In pleasant weather crowd of hunts
men, among whom are those who may have
hunted with the royal pack in the season
twice a week for half a century, meet near
Windsor TO make run over poor peoples
gardens, over ploughed fields and swampy
grounds for long day in spring.
Guy Fawkes, a good stayer," and a very
old stager is brought to the place of meet
and uncarted by the servants of the hunt.
He is a worn and battered old deer. who
has been uncaged at this very point many a
time, year after year, TO run in a straight
line until Overtaken by the well-trained
hounds, which would surely tear him in
pieces were they not taught to do otherwise
or beaten off by the ''whips" if they be-
come undisciplined and sought to kill the
game. When the old deer has made his
contribution TO the pleasures of the day 4
second stag is turned out. But this one is
young-is not in good condition. He runs
sin a ring and is soon overtaken. The
hunt disperses feeling that the day has not

Clara Bellies New York Letter in Enquirer.
The average American girl of fashion is
40 fool, though at times she may look like
9ne. Ignorant critics are prone to leave
some of the component parts out of their
calculations. 1t is unjust TO judge a girl
altogether by the appearance which she
presents. An estimate of her aspect ought
to be based largely on the material in its
original and natural state When you see
n face with hair brought well forward over
it, and hat Overshadowing it, do not assall
her taste because those things in themselves
are not pretty. Look at her nose and see
if it is not so long or crooked that relief to
its conspicuousness is desirable. 1t is just
SO through the toilet of really clever
dresser. The articles are devices to produce
a good general effect, rather than selections
for their own special beauty. Another pol

NentneSs undergraduate.

A woman may be handsome or remarka-
bly, attractive in various ways, but if she is
not personally neat she can not hope to win
admiration. Fine clothes will not conceal
the slatteTn. A young woman with her
hair always in disorder and her clothes
hanging about her as if suspended from a
prop. is always repulsive. Slattern is
written ON her person from the crown Of
her head to the soleS Of her feet, and if she
wins husband he will turn out in all prob
ability either an idle fool or a drunken
rufiian. The bringing up of daughters 10
be able TO work, talk and act like honest,
sensible young women, is the special task
of all mothers, and in the industrial ranks
there is imposed also the prime obligation
OF learning how to respect household work

more youthful. A well-kept blonde has
ten years advantage in point of youthful

you. once in lifetime or so there arises a
miraculous brunette who completely sur
passes her, but for steady-going, ordinary
good looks, that make no pretentiOns to
great beauty, the blonde carries the palm.
You can't expunge her in favor of the bru-

of these poles for lOye-making purposes,

one of these summer nights and see for
yourself. The young men and women start
away from home at dusk, avOwedly to row
up the river to place called
Newman'S Springs. where ice cream
and music may be had. as well as
the enjoyment of forming dancing
parties occasionally. Yet if you go to the
springs you viii see few in proportion to
the number that started to go there. while
on the way you will pass many of the
couples in their rOw-bOatS spOOning. with
their boats made fast to the oyster poles
in the shadows of the riverside trees. 1t
is very embarrassing until you get used to
it to run across these nautical low

until your boat is almost upon theirs: then
you hear maidenly scream and an added
warning in gruif male voice. You peer
into the black shadow and distinguish a row.
