THE ECHO OF THE COURT.

A year or two ago, while Mr.. Par.
sons was addressing the court at
New Haven, Conn.,, an ass in the
street happened to bray so loudly
as to interrupt the learned gentle
men, whereupon the Judge said:
Zone at time, gentlemen-one
at time, if you please"
This sally caused much merri-
ment lin the court, but did not In
the least discompose Mr.. Parsons,
who pursued the tenor Of his dis
course as if nothing of the kind had
happened. He was not, however,
insensible to the merit of the joke,
nor willing to let it go unrewarded
and an opportunity was soon off
cred him of giving a "Roland for.
an Oliver When the Judge was
charging the jury, the same ass,
who seemed fond of the vicinity of
the court, brayed again, and deeper
and deeper STILL" AT this moment
the Judge was 80 entirely taken up
with the business in progress that
he quite forgot his own joke, and,
startled at the sound, he hastily
said:
whats that-what noise is that?"
sIt's only the echo of the court,
your Honor" said Mr.. Parsons,
gravely.
The justice and excellence of this
retort were acknowledged by the
peals of laughter with which the
court resounded, and in which the
Judge himself could not refrain
from Joining.

FOREIGN ETIQUETTE.

] In Sweden, if you address tn
poorest person on the street, yo,
must lift your hat. The same cour
tesy is insisted upon if you pass {
lady upon the stairway. To entel
a reading room or bank with ones
hat on is regarded as breach O
manners. To place your hand or
the arm of lady in Italy, is a grave
and Objectionable familiarity.
"Never touch the person-it is
sacred" is one of their proverbs.
In Holland, a lady is expected to
retire precipitately if she should
enter a store or restaurant where
men are congregated. She waits
until they have transacted their
business and departed. Ladies sell
dom rise in Spain to receive a male
visitor, and they rarely accompany
him to the door. A gentleman does
not offer to shake a Spanish lady's
hand. For him to give a lady (even
his wife) his arm when out walking,
is looked upon as decided viola
tion ofpropriety. Ifa Spaniard says,
when you retire after a visit, "This
house is entirely at your disposal,
whenever you may please to favor
it," he wishes you to know that he
regards you as one of the family
Juno de nosotrus" (one of us) as
they express it. If the words are
not spoken, you can conclude that
you are not welcome to call again.
In Persia, among the aristocracy,
visitor sends notice an hour or
two before calling, and gives a days
notice if the visit is one Of great
Importance. He is met by servants
before he reaches the house, and
other considerations are shown him
according to relative rank. The
left, and not the right, is considered
the position of honor.
No Turk will enter sitting room
with dirty shoes. The upper classes
wear tight fitting shoes, with gol-
oshes over them. The latter, which
receive all the dirt and dust, are
left outside the door. The Turk
never washes in dirty water. Water
is poured over his hands, so that
when polluted it runs away.
In Syria, the people never take
off their caps or turbans when en-.
tering the house or visiting a friend,
but they always leave their shoes
at the door. There are no mats or
scrapers outside, and the floors in
side are covered with expensive
rugs, kept very clean in Moslem
houses and used to kneel upon
while saying prayers.
In China, grief is associated with
white dress; in Ethiopia, with
brown; in Turkey, with violet, in |
Egypt with yellow.

that money, with which other food

The Geneva Shampoo,

A feminine friend returning from
Geneva tells of fifteen-minute
shampoo she received there: II was
gracefully welcomed by three tom
sorial artists as l entered the apart
ments, and conducted to a COM
Portable chair which was placed on
a rubber sheet. And then l was
enveloped in rubber, as comfortably
as possible, and the hurry began.
One artist cracked an egg on top
of my head, and pouring the con-
tents out rubbed it vigorously into
my hair, while a second dropped
brandy into the mixture, with an
exasperating drop, drop, which
made me rebel openly, but another
egg being sharply cracked on the
base of my brain and rubbed in
smartly by the third artist dis
tracted me and my attention from
the continual dropping. This was
kept up for three or four min
utes and my tired head sank back
upon the rest, to be aroused by a
quick stream of hot water being
played on the side of my head at
tended with more rubbing. l turned
and saw that it came from a hose;
but my head was quickly brought
into place by the shock of stream
playing on the other side of nv
poor head and a vigorous rubbing
which removed all trace of the
brandy and egg. The next shock
was hose of cold water on each
side, which l would not submit
to, threatening to leave the estab-
lishment. l rested a moment, glanc-
ing out of the corners of both eyes
1T once in dread of what was COM
ing next, and saw large stove fun
nel approaching on wheels. And
then while my hair was held out a
blast of hot air was thrown at me
md the drying process began, the
unnel process appearing first on
'ne side and then on the other and
behind me, with shocks of hot air
It each new position. Then my
lair was coiled into a knot and I
vas released. It may have been
fifteen minutes, but for one week
ny hair stood out in q brashy cleo
riied state-partly in horror-and
10 oil nor coaxing nor brushing
would induce it to soften" This
must have been exceedingly jolly.

out the summer fairies from their

reward. No life was ever brave and
loyal and true, but somehow and
somewhere came its June time, and
its shadowless days of deep content.

A Touch Of Kindneaa

Many people at Johnstown had
tried in vain to comfort q weeping
lad who had lost father, mother,
brothers and sisters, when q lady
came along who had lost husband
and children. She took the boy by
the hand and said: "My poor boy,
come with me and take tho place
of my lost ones" The boy took
her hand and seemed at once eona-
forted as they went off together.

MANY of the f;ma.honoro1 ~,

! MANY OF the tlmo-hOnored Gus
toms OF life are fast departing
Among them the old-fashionee
marriage for love; the corner ston,
OF a happy home-the cradle of its
virtue. The world is becoming SC
mercenary, so practical, that women
more than men, do not listen to
the pleadings of their heart, but dis.
miss faithful lover whose bank
account is limited, for one whose
intrinsic worth as a life companion
is weighed in the scales with his
wealth. The modern young man,
while posing as Romeo, speculates
in his materialistic mind, ''if Juliet
will expect a great deal of style
and If his income will be ample
enough to meet all her demands ~
In doubt and trepidation he pre-
sents the conventional engagement
ring, he knows that there is a prob
ability of his fiance, judging his
merits as desirable husband by
the lustre of the ring. Is it won
der that the average man looks
upon marriage as O "bete noir?"
The acme Of a successful marriage
nowadays, with most women of
fashion, is to stand at the altar, be-
fore a Bishop with flowing gown,
flowers and lights in abundance,
and music, soft and sweet. The
requisites are bridal robe of costly
texture, veil of priceless value
bridesmaids in attendance and a
luxurious home to enter. There is
scarcely thought entertained of
the solemn VOWS which she has
taken upon herself, or of the sa-
credness Of the ceremony that
Joins together this man and wom-
an in the holy bonds of matrimo-
NY" This marriage merits half
column in the leading paper, whose
very pages in the course of time |
suit for divorce between
these once "high contracting par
ties the "denouement" of a love
less marriage. Notwithstanding all
these lugubrious facts, there are !
true and loyal women to-day, and
many happy homes. There are
women whose soul ambition is to
be the queen in home, whose roof
shelters her from the contact with |
4 cold and heartless world. They |
care nothing for woman's rights,
nor the plaudits of the public. In
40 reform can 4 woman do such a
grand work, none more beneficial
han to make the inmates of her
'wn home happy, to make it
laven Of rest-that is her noblest
md trucst sphere. With such
lome, man needs no club house,
voman no ball room. There will
