CAAER.-Your calling cards should b.
modest as to size and neatly engraved
with no extra flourish. If you happen Il
be the widow OF a militia colonel who wa,
killed while sitting in the draught, 1t vii
not be necessary for you to put the tul
title, Mrs. Colonel De Blnks, GU you
cards.
In calling there are two important thing
to be considered: First, when to call, and
second, when to rise and hang on the doc
handle. Some make one-third Of the cal
before rising and then complete the cal
while airing the house and holding thu
door open, while others consider this los
and vulgar, making at least o%ne-fourth o
the call in the hall and one-half between
the front door and the gate. Regarding
the time at whichIto call little need be said
The general rule, however, seems to bG
that on g pleasant afternoon, when other
ladies are out calling, is a good time t
make g large number of calls. DiNeren'
authorities differ as to the proper time fol
calling. Some think you should not cal
before ) or after ) p. NJ, but Il you have
had any experience and had ordinary
sense to start with you will know when IL
call as soou as you look at your hand.
AMATEUR PRIZE FIGUrEE.--Ihe boxing
glove is q large, upholstered buckskin nit
ten, with an abnormal thumb and l. stclug
by which it is attached to the wrist, so tina,
when you feed it to an adversary be can
not swallow it and choke himself. There
are two kinds of gloves, viz hard glove:
aud soft gloves. | once fought with so!!
gloves to a finish with q young man who
was far my inferior intellectually, bat he
exceeded NE in brute force and knowledge
OF the gloves. He was not so tail, but he
was wider than myself. LOngitud!naliy
be was my inferior, out latitudinaiiy he out
striped me. We did not fight q regular
prize fight. 1t was Just done tor pleasure.
But I do not think We should abandon our
selves entirely to pleasure. 1t is enervA'
ting and makes ones eye swe!i uPaLd turn
blue.
| think that q young man ought to have
a knowledge Of the manly art Of sei!.de'
fence, and III could acquire such q kEoSl-
edge without getting into q fsdt about II
| would surely learn how to defend myself.
The boxing glove i5 worn on the hand
Of one party aud on the gory nose OF the
other party az the game progresses. Sot.
gloves very rarely xiii any one, unless they
work down int0thC bgonCAia! tubes aud smut

LECTURER. New NuRN CIgg.-lou need
not worry 50 much Goout youC costume
until you Lave written your lecture, and Ii
would be q good idea 10 test the public q
little, if possible, before you 10 much print
ing. You idea seems 10 be that o maa
should get q fine lithograph OF himself aud
q one hundred dollar suit Of clothes and
then write his lecture 10 tit the Autograph
and the clothes. That Is erroneous.
You say that you have written p part Of
your lecture, but do not feel satisfied With
it. In this you will no doubt !iHd many
people who will agree with you.
You could wear q full dress suit Of black
with propriety, or 9 Prince Albert coat,
with your hand thrust iuto The bosom oft,
| once lecturci on the subject OF rhreGol
ogy in the southern portion Of UtGh, being
a. ,ha. time temporarily busted, but sill
hoping 10 tide over the dull times og dei!v-
ering a lecture on the subject OF "BrslEs
and how 10 detect their presence | was
not sappll,4 with q chronological bust al
tina, time. and US such a thing is almost IN
diapensablc. | Borrowed t. young man from
Provost and induced him to act as bust TOR
the evening. He did 60 with thrilling Ct,
| feet, taking the entire gross receipts OF the
lecture course from M coat pocket while
| was illustrating the effect OF alcoholic
stimulants en- the row brain Of an adult IN
a state Of health.
You can remove spots Of egg from your
full dress suit with ammonia and waiter
applied By means Of q common nail brush.
You do not ask for this receipt, but judg'
ing from your style, | hope that II may be
OF use to you. -
?. D. Q-The oyster Of the Pacific
coast is the only thing that the Pacific
Coast people do not brsg over. This OIL
! valve is o small drab insect, With a strong
desire to run largely to gizzard he IS 10
ostentatious in his home life, aud in stature
about the height Of q pressed peanut. The
oyste. Of the Pacific coast i.veS 10 . great
sge, and never murmuFs or replnes. ia
ring the holidays great numbers OF these
oysters lose their lives along the coast
They are then used for food.
They are not good with oil. lsPeak oil
