THE Igfsu JAUNTfNG CAC,

There is no lacl of roads il Ireland
and for tho most part they nre fairly
good, though often extremely hilly.
The car is on tho whole excellently suited
TO them, and undoubtedly Bianconi. who
introduced them, is one of the greatest
benefactors OF Ireland. Had the Irish
been moro punctilious in paying their
debts, tho italian would have had his
statue in every market town. / may yre-t
mark in passing that he was originallya
picture dealer in Olonmel, who, having
seen the possibility Of q fortune III tho
Improvement of tho communications,
started the first Of the cars from Clonmel
to Cahir in the "Waterloo year" Queer
stories are told Of how he pushed his
enterprise, particularly 10y getting up
fictitious competition. The competition
was carried rather far, when one of his
drivers burst triumphantly into his
Office one day, begging half-a-crown OF
his honor to drink his honor's health,
since che had just bruok tho heart OF
the brown marc" in the opposition con-
veyanc- by pushing her hard up the hill
of so-and-so, the mare being, of course
Bianconi's own.
The car, L repeat is we'll adapted to
the country it is generally to be OBJ
tanned on few minutes notice, and the
drivers in default of relays, will take
their passenger incredible distances.
The man who drove mo from Dunglow
brought me on to Ardara from Glenties,
VII are we had failed to find q change. I
expressed fear that I might be
"planted at Ardarn should wo be
equally unfortunate there. "Sure, sir"
said my friend, land sooner than ye
shall be bate I'll rowi ye on to Carrick
myself, aye and to Kllybege to the back
Of that" I may remark that the hills in
some places were tremendous. Yet the
Irish car has its obvious drawbacks. 1t
shakes you even with tolerable springs
on the smoothest roads, and where the
roads are rough the jolting is terrible.
1t exposes one to the wind and the
Seather, though much may be gained
by sitting the leeside. And, although
seated either for four or six besides the
driver. it will hardly carry more than
two people with comfort if they hnye
any quantity of luggage. When two
share the expenses of private car they
are cheap enough. I have found the
ordinary charge for posting to be Sd
per Irish mile; while the drivers seem
generally to expoot the other Al. In
deed, they make themselves SO agreeable
that though the "tip" seems high it is
difficult to gludse it thcT.-C5r. L0nSo1

Until lately most Of the supply of
sugar in Denmark was imported. Now
the material for sugar is provided within
the boundaries of the kingdom. Six
years ago the Danes made 1900, 900
pounds of beot-root sugar. and four
years later the figures rose to 5000, 600
pounds. The production of 1882 ex.
ceeded that of 1881 by fully 100000
pounds.

Does Habit Make Dccency In Dress,

What is it that constitutes decency in dress?
Clearly nothing but habit. The custom of the
particular society or subject matter concerned
In ordinary language, convention. This seems
strange to some people, butt is most certainly
true that there is. no absolute rule as to what
drapery is or is not decent. Even in the same
society the conditions vary enormously. Use
and custom alone determine the becoming. A
Turkish lady is shocked if a strange man sees
her without yashmak and a monstrous
bundle of wraps. SO conventional is this COW
erng of the face that a Mussulman peasant
woman surprised in the field will often veil it
with her only pe1ticOat.
Travellers tell that a well-bred African
woman bushes to be seen for the first time i'm

to her scarcely decent. Custom, habit and con-

they would probably cause as great u tutter ms

3. Never put lamp on the edge of table or
mantel.
4. Never fill a lamp after dark, even If you
should have to 60 without a light.
5. See that the lamp wicks are always clean
and tSt they work freely d the tube the to,
Z. Never take lamp 10 a closet where there
are clothes Unnecessary to goto the closet, place
the light at q distance.
8. Use candles when possible in going about

10. They should never be left where rats or
mice can get hold of them There is nothing
more to the taste of rat than phosphorous

matches is almost certain to be set fire to if a
rat gets at it.
II. Have perfectly good safes in every place
where matches are to be used and never let q
match be left on the floor.
-. Never let a match go out of your hand
after lighting it until you are sure the fire is
out, and then 1t Is better to put it in stove or

Il. Have your furnaces examined carefully

should be carefully looked to.
15 If there are any closets in the house near
chimneys or fues, which there ought not to be-

Such closets will soil silver and crack crocl1ery
and burn bedding. They form a bad. part
of any house that contains them.

Calling Quail Up to be Murdered.
