Hygienic Value of Hip-Fockets.

The general practitioner is frequently
asked by anxious patients: "What shall

stoop-shouldered that am afraid he will
get consumption; will have to get him
abrace What kind would you recon-
mend?"
1t requires no extended argument to
prove the importance of well expanded
chest. Apart from the incalculable
benefits to health, an erect carriage and
graceful movements attract the atten-
tion of the most humble. 1t causes them
to correct as far as they are able, in their

The boys pockets are to him a very i'm.
portant part of his dress, and the natural
tendency is to keep his hands In them.
When not actively engaged, there they
are usually found, and if the pockets are
properly placed, they will inadvertently
cause him to throw back his shoulders
and more or less expand the chest. For
instance, the jacket or overcoat should
have what is called breast pockets, the
opening should be high and as far back
as possible, parallel with and in the line
OF the body, instead of low down and
traverse as usually found in the ordinary
jacket or overcoat.
The pants should have what are called
"hip-pockets," and no others. twill then
be apparent that, whilst the hands are in
the pockets better, if not a perfect, po-
sition will be assumed and the boy spared

hands out of your pockets" and the ac-

]'J'HE FASHIONS
Fashionable Dinner Giving.


Many persons of means and hospitable
nature would like to know just the table
management of fashionable dinner We
find the following directions on the subject
They will help our ladies in a dilemma The
hour for fashionable city dinner is z o'clock
p. m But the hour changes with the local
ity:
A full eight-course dinner requires a
staff of well trained servants; plates are
changed with every course, and with SONG
of them knives and forks also. The first
course would consist of small "Blue Point"
oysters on the half she'll a half dozen laid on
each plate with quarters of lemon to be used
instead of vinegar A Vienna roll or
thick piece of French bread oc-
'cupies the hollow of the napkin, which is
laid beside each plate. Under the plate con-
tanning the oysters is another plate, which
serves as holder for this and the soup plate,
which succeeds the oysters, and may be
served by thu host or from the buffers pam
try, according to the custom of the housa.
The under plates ara taken away with the
soup plates, and then fish 10 served from the
pantry, not from the table. In some houses
the dish of fish, as also the meat, and poultry
or game, is passe to each individual, often
being divided by the butl,r. In others they
are placed before the host who doe, the
carving himself. Tha fish is followed by
roast beef, perhlps, with Drowned potato
and horse radish the beef by asparagus on
toast, the asparagus by red duck, with jelly.
and small French peas, an the duck
by quail with lettuce salad with .imp.e
oil dressing, no. mayonnai'e The next
course win be pudding, followed by ices,
fruits, nuts, and lastly. coffee. This is an
eight course dinner inclusive of pud ling,
and exclusive of dessert, which technically
means ices fruits and coffee Asparagus, it
will be observed, makes "a course by itself,
and requires fresh plates, and also clean
knives and forks. The principal difficulty
in serving course dinner is enough of
plates, knives and forks and spoons. The
finger bowls with slice of lemon, or a
violet-perfumed water in each, are brought
directly after pudding, as soon as the plates
are taken away, and are placed on a pretty
ornamental napkin or DOYLE, which covers
the dessert plate. You lift your finger bowl
to one side, u-ing the DOYLE as mat, and
the plate, which is usually of pretty ma jolica
or Japanese ware, is ready for fruit, the
large table dish of which is passed from one
to another by the attendants.

The Telegraphe makes well-timed pro-
test against the dangers besetting pedes
trians in Paris. In no city, it justly says,
is the traffic so ill-regulated, and it
might have added that travellers two cen
turies ago complained of furious driving,
while English visitors after Waterloo
were struck by the absence of foot-pave-
ments, which made the boulevards the
only safe thoroughfares for walkers.
Heavy-covered vans abound, the drivers
being SO seated inside as not to be well
able to see persons crossing the street or
not caring to see. The new large omni-
buses with three horses abreast can not,
moreover, pull up or slacken speed very
promptly. A line of coal or other wagons
is often 100 hundred yards long, without
any space between them available for
pedestrians wanting to cross the street.
Neither cabs nor private carriages
slacken speed at the chief crossings, and
the drivers frequently, to cut off cor
ner, take the wrong side of the road.
Policemen are stationed at the corner
of the Place de pOpera, but they look
placidly on at furious driving, violations
of the rule of the road, and blockade OF
the crossings If it rains and the car
riage traffic consequently increases, and

be added that people who ride are

Rigid Court Etiquette in Vienna.

Apropos of the retirement of the Aus
trian minister of public instruction,
Baron Conrad, a Vienna paper relates the
following episode, which shows how rig
idly court etiquette is observed in
Vienna: One evening, at so-called 1aris-
tocratic picnic at the Hotel Imperial,
one of his daughters, who was dancing
with the Archduke Ludwig Victor,
pinned one of the cotillion orders ON her
partners coat. Such thing is strictly
forbidden by etiquette, and the duke
promptly tore off the order and threw it
on the floor.
The young baroness being ignorant OF
this rule, went to her mother, weeping,
and left the hall; and next day Baron
Conrad had an audience with the en-
peror, begging to retire to private life on
account of the insult to his family. But
the emperor smiled, and told him he
would "make it all right, and the follow
ing day Ludwig Victor called On Baron

emit rudeness in the most chivalrous man.

When outward scowls the chilling storm,
O'erladen with the drifting snow.
Inc inward hearth Is kind and warm,
Its fame evolves cheerful glow:
Where ightness sits,
While fancy fits
Among the dazzling embers bright,
And reads in signs
OF shifting lines
The magic &kens of delight.
Blithe, happy sprites of CRATE and hob,
Dance forth and back within the blaze.
The buoyant soul of doubt to rob
That to the embers turns its gaze;
When life is gay
Tine goblins play;
The nature purged of gross desire,
Though tempests lower,
Diyipes with power.
Among glad witcheries of fire.
