GOOD BEHAVIOR.
Train the Little Folks-To Secure an
Introduction,


Introduction.
The Introduction of a man to a woman
whom he would like to visit, or the forming
OF a more intimate acquaintance with one to
whom he has been casually introduced, is
often problem of a good deal of delicacy
and quite difficult TO solve. There seems to
be but one fundamental Interchangeable prin-
ciple in the premises, That is, there must be
third person to make the introduction.
Several methods exist for forming ac-
quaintanceS wherein the man becomes a
recognized visitor at the house of the lady.
He may be invited by some member of the
family To which she belongs. He may be in
vited to some social gathering at the house,
which at once puts him on the footing Of a
visitor. He may secure the offices Of a
mutual friend, who should first secure the re
quirt-i permission to bring the one desiring
the acquaintance to call. In some cities it Is
regarded proper for man to ask permission
to call on woman to whom he has been
introduced, but this method should be exer-
cised with great caution, if at all Ones
house is ones castle, and, although those met
i'll social life should all be treated for the time
being collrteouely, future recognition is by
no meals obligatory. One often meets many
people with whom more intimate acquaint-
ance may not be desired

Youthful Politeness,

The training of children in those matters
which mark good breeding, should begin at
an early age, A boy years old is none too
young to be taught TO take off his hat 20
lady; not to pass between people who
are talking together; to stand until ladies are
seated. All such things are acquired far
more easily by early drilling than they can
ever be afterwards. Indeed it is questionable
whether any one who has been brought up
without such training can ever acquire that
habitual courtesy which marks the true gen.

A new method for the treatment Of con-

medical men. Remedies are injected directly
into the lungs by means of a hypodermic
syringe, the needle of which is passed through
the wall Of the chest, in order to introduce
the medicine as nearly as possible to the
affected part of the lungs. Carbolized iodine
thus introduced ha. acted the most favorablv
causing cessation of cough and expectoration
