The Anomalies of asociety. -

Julian Hawthorne recently lectured
before historical society, and closed
his address with the question, ..What
must man do or be in order to belong
to good socicty?'' Mr.. Hawthorne
would have increased the gratitude of
his hearers had he answered the ques-
ton that he asked. He pronounced the
riddle that is the sphinx of modern So
ciety, and left it very much as Mr..
Howells now and then raises a question
of social philosophy, and accomoda-
tingly leaves it to his readers to decide
as they please. A well-known society
leader in New York took up Mr.. Haw-
thorne's question, and replies that be-
ing fit for society is not question of
manners, for eve ybody has seen excess
sively ill-bred people quite at the cen
ter Of society. In fact, to-day, in New
York, considerable number of the
young married women who are coming
to the front as society leaders seem to
have an idea that downright rudeness
is rather chic, and that ill-breeding and
disregard for other peoples feelings is
mark of social superiority and indi-
cative Of an independence only attaina-
BILE by people who are at the head of
affairs. 1t is not money either that
gives social position here rim England.
A fair amount of it is, of course, valu-
able, but the recognized social leaders
on both sides of the water are compar-
atively not very rich people. No more
does personal distinction necessarily
confer the social entree. Perhaps a
very prominent man or beautiful wo-
man becomes the lioness of season
and fancies himself or herself as fully
admitted, but as soon as people have
satisfied their curiosity that bubble
bursts, and the places that knew them
know them no more. Birth has good
deal to do with original admission.
Tact also is of great value; combined
with push and audacity, it can do won
ders; but it is impossible to form the
absolute prerequisites for social posi-
ton or to explain the curious anomalies
visible all the time in the structure of
what VIC call society. ''-LiAau Witt

roguish final r; for breakfast or for
supper, on the undershell or upper, of
dishes he's the daisy and of shcll-tish

We try him as they fry him and even

broil him, we vinegar-and-oil him, and
oh, he is delicious stewed with toast.
We eat him with tomatoes and the
salad with. potatoes, nor look him DER

slaw; and neither does he fret us if he
marches after lettuce and abrea of
cayenne pepper when his majesty is
raw.
So welcome with September, to the

Sagacious Dogs as News Carriers.

Sagacious dogs on the line of the
Naugatuck Railroad serve their masters
as newsboys. One owned by the pro-
prietor of tbs Gate House, on the
Thomaston road, goes es cry morning
from home to Inchliff's bridge, where
the train crosses the river, distance of
one and one-half miles, and carries the
paper home. The paper was formerly
thrown off by the brakemen on the last
car, and there the dog watched for it.
Lately it has been thrown from the
baggage car. The dog appeared angry
at the change, barked furiously and
waited sullenly for some time before
going on his errand. He has not yet
become reconciled to the new way of
delivering his paper.
Another dog, owned by Edward Os-
borne, at a farm house a mile back
from tho railroad, comes regularly to
meet the early morning paper train be-
low Naugatuck. His nose is seen
through the board fence as the train
| winds a curve, waiting patiently. He
leaves the house when he hears the
whistle at Beacon Falls, and reaches
the train in proper time without ever
getting left.
The late Senator William Brown had
pet dog that could read " distinguish
the whistles on the New England en-
gines from the Naugatuck though
trains run on the Naugatuck and New
England Road at the same time side by
side. The faithful dog always found
his train and car, and stood in waiting
Tor the Hartford Times, which he car
ried home to his master for many years.

A New Field for the Antiquarian.

The correspondent of London jour
nal, travelling with the Afghan COM
mission, tells of a village found in re-
mote Persia, 100 miles from Teheran,
so like in the general characteristics of
its architecture to the pueblos of the
Zunis in America as to suggest the pos
sibility Of some connection between the
two peoples. It is the village Of Las
grid, and its people ascribe great an
tiquity to it, declaring that Las, son
of Noah, drew on the ground ssgird'
or circle which defined the plan of the
village, which seems to be one immense
structure, bearing some resemblance of
form to the Roman Colosseum, though
built almost entirely of mud and quite
without architectural pretensions. The
rude walls are very thick at the base
and rise to a hight of about thirty feet
to a line OF doors opening on galleries
made by filling in the spaces between
projecting branches of trees. There is
no means of getting upon these CALLER
les from the outside. The ways for get
ting up are all inside, in some cases
rough steps OF mud, in other cases in
clincd planes, half ladder and half
road. The galleries arc the modes of
communication between TIE houses,
and from their general level houses
rise one above another, or are strag-
gled peculiarly away into odd corners,
access to them being very difficult for
the inexperienced, though the natives
get about their frail buildings and
shaky projections with all the agility
and certainty of monkeys. This struc-
turc was OF original defense against the
Iurcomans, the dwellings being con-
fined to the upper portions Of the great
circle. But as there is now no danger
from the ancient enemy, the center,
which was filled up with strange moss
structures, is falling into decay. There
is but one entrance to the circle. and it
is scarcely four feet in height, and is
protected by a heavy stone door, work
ing with pivot and socket. The place
is one of exceeding interest, and theo-
logians may crack the nut that these
people claim direct descent from
Noah. The Zunis, it will be remem-
bered, hide away their villages, and
construct their houses on a plan not UNI
like that prevailing in this Indian viii
lage in Persia. This que ton of re-
scmblance is worth looking into.

Fcrrets Come High.

s Ferrets can be purchased at most
bird fanciers' stores, but are expensive.
II can sell good pair of trained
ferrets for $15,'' s., the young man in
Isaacsen's store, at No 80 Fulton
street. 1--WE have a large demand for
them, and Mr.. lsaacsen is now in the
south purchasing new stock. The best
breeds of ferrets are the white kind,
the fitch ferret, which is cross be-
tween the north European fitch and the
African ferret, and the American mink
and the fitch ferret. Any of these will
clear house of rats in a very short
time.
They don't wait outside the hole, as
the cat or the dog must do. They get
right inside, catch the rat, kill him,
and eat up every bit of him. Nothing
is left to tell the tale. Their work is
far cleaner than that of poison. The
ferret's body is so flexible that it can
glide easily into the smallest rat hole.
The largest rat has not particle of
chance with it. Indeed, the rat knows
the moment it sees the ferret, that it's
doom is sealed, and makes little resist
ance.
"A ferret is as domestic an animal as
a cat, and makes very nice and affec-
tionate pet. As long as any rats re-
main in the house it's owner need give
i no food. 1t will supply itself with
abundance, and no fears need be enter
tanned that it will run away. Ferrets
are not great breed rs. and are very
hard to raise to full growth; and, for
these reasons they are expensive.
When mature, however, they arc hardy
and healthy. There is a great demand
for them among the propretors OF
large stores, where rats that would do
enormous damage meet in them re-
lentless and untiring enemy,
'Ferrets arc not SO high as large
rat, and fes big sewer rats would
outweigh two OF EN-. But they are
longer from the tip of the nose to the
tip of the tail, than any rat that ever
lived. They move with snake-like
action, not fast, but with some grace.
Their eyes are large, and in expression,
something like that of seal, mild and
afectioAate. Y. Sun.

How They Saved the Bank.

Many years ago. in consequence of
commercial panic, there was severe
run on bank in South Wales, and the
small farmers jostled each other in
crowds to draw out Their money.
Things were rapidly going from bal to
worse, when the bank m;S1ager, in a fit
of desperation, suddenly bethoughthim
of an expedient. BY his directions,
clerk, having heated some sovereigns in
a frying pan, paid them over the coun-
ter to an anxious applicant. ''Why,
they're quite hot!'' said the latter, as
he took them up. ''Of course" was
the reply, ''what else couldy you expect?
They are just out of the mold. We are
eoining them by hundreds as fast as we
CAM
Coming them'' thought the simple
agriculturists. "1hen there is no fear
of the money running short. With
this their confidence revived, the panic
ebated, and the bank was enabled to
weather the storm Manchester Times
