In GENERAL AND PARTICULAR.

True politeness is not thing of for
mality and ceremony; it consists in no
artificial smiles or precise carriage of the
body, but In an earnest and sincere desire
to promote the happiness of those with
whom one comes in contact-in willing
ness to sacrifice ones own ease and comfort
to the enjoyment of others.-Mathers.
Professor Edward A. Freeman saws
'Anglo-Saxon is such a foolish word
that never use it. | see no reason why
the two branches of the English folk
should be called in the nineteenth century
by an antiquated description used--for
particular reason-in charters of the tenth
and eleventh centuries, and hardly any,
where else"
The excess of women over men in the
Eastern States is miscalled surplus"
There can be no surplus of good women
while the whole world stretches out its
hands to them, as now, for aid and COM
fort. What would schools, orphan asy-
lums, charitable institutions of all sorts,
the churches and all other good and noble
enterprises do were it not for the army of
unmarried women who devote their lives
to the service of others
IN the Spencerlan system OF ethics,
which is utilitarianism, the moral maxim
or the idea of duty is not distinguished
from the feeling of pleasure or pain that
accompanies ethical thoughts and acts and
their consequences. This lack of distinc-
ton induces Mr.. Spencer to consider mans
pursuit of happiness as the basis of ethics.
Accordingly the aim of ethics, he main
tains, is not the performance of duty, nor
the realization of the good; to the utili-
tartan this is only the means. The end of
ethics is only the means. The end of
ethics is the greatest happiness to the
greatest number.-Open Court

Paying for . pead IndIan.

II an Indian is killed in quarrel his
relatives are usually appeased by pay
ment. | remember once afancy, oyerbear-
ing young Assinaboine buck came into the
Milk River Agency and bent his bow and
arrow on the agents pet dog The agent
warned him if he shot the dog he would
kill the Indian. The young buck shot his
arrow; the agent killed him. We expected
to have some trouble, but the grief-stricken
father came forward on behalf of the rela-
tives and claimed that, in consideration OF
the young man being such good buffalo
runner, the agent must pay for the loss OF
such person red blanket, a piece of cal
leo and four pounds of sugar He CON-
piled with their demands, but the venge-
ful relatives thereafter adopted him as
their banker. The mother and other rela-
tives Of the slain young man scarcely ever
met the agent without embracing him and
with endearing epithets begging for some
thing more in remembrance of the good
buffalo runner.-Forest and Stream.

Do Monke,s rhrow stones .

A scientific traveller in India was eau.
tlcned not to go near certain landslip on
the shore of lake, as the monkeys would
throw stones at him. This advice, nat.
urally enough, only made him more de-
slrous to visit the spot
As he approached the landslip he saw a
number of brown monkeys rush to the
sides and across the top of the slip, and
presently pieces of loosened stone and shale
came tumbling down where he stood. He
fully satisfied himself that this was not
merely accidental, for he distinctly saw
one monkey industriously, with both fore
paws, and with obvious malice prepense.
pushing the loose shingle off the rock.
He then tried the effect of throwing
stones at them, and this made them orite
angry, and the number of fragments which
they set rolling was speedily doubled.
This, though it does not amount to the
actual throwing of objects by monkeys
as a means of ofiense, comes very near to
the same thing, and makes one think that
there may be truth in the stories OF their
throwing fruit at people from trees.
At all events, the general statement that
the act of throwing things is never per-
formed by any animal except man is GER
talnly not correct, as elephants have been
seen TO project branches of trees with the
design Of hitting persons ont Of their reach

sive and aggressive, but it will not pro-
duce such orators and preachers as there

farmers, and merchants, and mechanics,
but not such statesmen or pulpit orators.

know that the masses of the people
have advanced, and therefore there is
not such a contrast between them and
the great men as there used to be, but it
is still certain that the most notable men
of the day will not compare with those I
have mentioned. We have some great
preachers, but none to compare with
Capers, and Styles, and Pearce, and Bas-
comb, and the blind preacher, Waddell,
whom William Writ made famous. This

Two Ways. Choose Which!

There are two usual ways Of doing
what Nature sometimes does incom
pletely, namely, to relieve the bowels.
One. is to swallow a drastic purgative
which eyacuates profusely, abruptly
and with pain, the other is to take
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the
effect of which is not violent, but
sufficiently thorough, and which does
not grippe the intestines. II the first
is selected, the person employing it
need not expect permanent benefit,
and he cannot hope to escape the
facilitating reaction which leaves the
organs as bad or worse off than be-
fore. If, on the other hand, he re-
sorts to the Bitters, he can rely upon
the restoration of a regular habit of
body, consequent upon renewal of
a healthful tone in the intestinal
canal. Besides BEAUTIFULLY relaxing
the bowels, the Bitteis arouse dor
mant liver, imparts beneficial i'm
petus to the action of the kidneys,
and counteracts the early twinges of
rheumatism, a tendency 10 gout, and
malaria in all its forms.
