ETIQUETTE.

Use of Knife and FOrk-Giving Up
Seat.
The question has been propounded, Can a
gentleman escorting a lady on street car or
railroad car give up his seat to another lady
who is standing without rudeness to the one
lie is escorting!
1t seems impossible that any lady should
object under any circumstances to such an
attention to one of her own sex. No man is
bound to give up his seat to lady in any
public conveyance. 1t is simply courtesy
But should he do so it should not be construed
IS want of respect to a lady he may be es-
orting. A woman who would feel sighted
It such action does not deserve similar at
.ention when she is herself in need of seat.

To Make White Candy.

Nice white candy is easily made thus:
Take one quart of graduated sugar, one pint
of water and two tablespoonful of vinegar.
Boil like molasses candy, but do not stir.
You can tel when it is done by trying it in
cold water Pull it as if it were molasses
candy; have a dish near by with some
vanilla in it, and work in enough to flavor as
you pull it; put it in cold room and the
next day it will he found delicious

The Saddle Sulky.

A new sulky has recently been patented by
Charles T. Stellman, M. d., of New York,
with curved axle, to admit the rear OF the
horse between the wheels This permits the
horse to turn upon his center of motion,
thereby making riding very safo, as the sulky
becomes like part OF the horse. 1t would be
especially serviccable on rough roads or where
ordinary vehicles cannot be used.

FIRRs IN NOVEMBER.

Few things in public affairs deserve
more thoughtful attention than the
monthly report OF our losses by fire,
when we remember that the greater
part Of the loss arises from our want
Of care. The evil does not decrease;
experience Of the loss Of property, the
ruin Of hard working people, snd the
loss Of life appears to produce slight
impression, and the report for the last
month is about rs bad as it could be.
Leaving cut the exceptional Boston
fire, the average loss during Novem-
ber, since the record was kept, has
been $T,600,00O in the United States
and Canada, During the last Novem-
Der II has amounted to $l0,000,000.
This IL, for last month, an excess OF
3SI per cent. above the average for the
sans month for any November OF

Is not such q fact worthy Of considera-
ton and ssrious thought The New
York Bulssns carefully kept files re-
port 100 fires during the month, each
OF which destroyed property to the
amount OF between 5000 and 10000.
There were thirteen fires whore,
the loss In such case was between
100000 and 100000. The entire re-
corded loss by fire during the eleven
months Of the present year has been
$l05,000,000. The figure is a fearful
one, especially when We remember

Continuing, he said: Mr.. Firth has

grieved to hear it, becAus l should be

that any cunning manipulation OF the
municipal insitu ions would give re-

evil that her population had been

THE sUFFE aING CAUSED By AN
OFFICE SEEKER.

Much OF the sufferings OF the work
ingmen can be traced to Office seeking
deRagogues. The late developments
regarding the Chicago strike, which
throw 10000 men out Of work and
caused several Thousand of their num-
bar to permanently lose their places,
show that 1t was not zeal for the work
ingmen, no desire to advance their
real Interests, that precipitated the
striks, but to secure the election OF
Master Workman Bntler, who at the
time was lhB candidate Of the Lab or
party for Sheriff Of Cook county. Ia

OF his brutal sel6shuess threw 10000

should rid themselves OF such

who use them for selfish purposes.
The disastrous strike inaugurated TO

Subsidiary silver Coin.

WARRINGTON, December 8--The
Secretary OF the Treasury today trans.
mitted to the House a communication
from the Director of the Mint pointing
out the need OF new legislat on in the
matter of the statutory limit Of sub
sidlary silver com on standing in cir
culation. In his communication the
Director says that the pracic ice of the
department seems to have been based
upon the theory that it is the duty to
supply subsidiary coin up 10 the full
requirement Of The public demand,
yet This practice does not seem to &C.
cord with the joint resolution of 1875,
limiting the amount OF subsidiary coin
outstanding to t51,000,000. To sus-
tain the department in its theory and
action in this matter the Director sub.
mits a draft OF JOINT 1850 ,ution pro.
