Asking Ono to Repeat.

The conventional methods OF asking one to
repeat what has been said and not heard
seem to vary with the times. The eminently
polite method of saying, 81 beg your pardon"
has crept into use during the last ten years.
This means that you beg the speakers pardon
for not having attended. But if the speaker
has spoken SO indistinctly that no ordinary
listener could catch the words, the speaker
and not the listener should make the apology.
The polite world has always been troubled
to frame a proper method Of asking for
repetition, without being successful.
"What" is too short and harsh. "How" Is
execrable The best method is to adopt the
conventional method of the times, which at
least has the merit Of enabling one to as
simulate and not be conspicuous for differing
from others

What Constitutes Good BreedinS-The
Choice of Bridal Gifts.
The sending of bridal gifts requires dis
erection and knowledge of some points in
voved A card should always go with the
gift for if the presents are displayed the card
is laid on the gift to which it belongs, or
placed with others on a card basket.
In making choice Of gifts it must be re-
membered that there are some gentleman
NAV not send to a bride. There can be no
catalogue of such things, but good sense will
suggest whether any article is appropriate or
not. For instance, would pair of ivory
backed hair brushes be appropriated! Most
assuredly not. Indeed, it would be hardly
appropriate for man to send any article of
wearing apparel, or anything that may be
used with the toilet, though perhaps there
might, in some cases, be exceptions to this
rule, considering the articles and the init
macy of the sender.
Unless you arc on terms of intimacy, or n
relative, gifts should be chosen rather for
their ornamental than their useful qualities
A vase or a picture is far more in taste from
a comparative stranger than would be table
article or piece of jewelry. These are ap-
propriate for relatives

OCCUPATION OF Women,

Sir T. Spencer Wells, in his inaugural ad-
dress before the sanitary congress recently
held in New York, said in reference to the
occupation Of women: II think women capa-

accustomed to do in times past. II overwork
sometimes leads TO disease, it is morally more
wholesome to work into it than to lounge into
It. And if some medical practitioners have
observed cases where mental overstrain has
led TO disease Of mind or body, cannot deny
that also have at long intervals seen some
such cases. But for every such example l
feel quite sure that | have seen at least
twenty where evils equally to be deplored are
caused in young women by want of mental
occupation, by deficient exercise, too luxuri.

HehLTHFUL INFORMATION.
Things Good to Know and Worth Keep
Ing In Mind.

A new process in dentistry has been sue
cessfully tried. 1t is making a new socket
in the solid bone, or where tooth has once
been, but where the bone has become solid,
and mplanting n tooth from another mouth,
or the same mouth, in the socket.
1t is based on the theory that if the mem
brane which originally surrounded the tooth
still adheres to it, it will be revitaized When
the tooth is implanted in the new socket. 1t
il said that there are cases where adhesion
has become so complete that they would defy
an expert to tell which were the implanted
and which were the original teeth.

how easily rheumatism begins, and how
insdiously it grows in the system, until
one is startled to find himself its victim
in either the acute or chronic form. He

ordinary remedies to give relief.

covered there was no medicine which
