sary to social Harmony.


In arranging their methods Of living and
social intercourse men are striving to so re-
press and regulate their baser lives as to
make them of as little prominence as posi-
BILE, and offend in the least degree the finer
sensibilities. 1t is desirable to make the
service and eating of meals not a mere
feeding to which we shall 90 with dread
and from which we shall come with dis
gust, and, if possible, not only inoffensive,
but positive source of refined pleasure
Hence have grown up these little laws and
customs which have excited the contempt
of our thoughtless friends. If it offends my
neighbors to see me shovel my food into my
mouth with knife, will learn to use my
fork, even if / do not at first feel that
there is sufficient ground for his feeling.
He will doubtless reciprocate by refraining
from dipping his fingers into certain arti-
cles of food which it distresses me to see
eaten that way. And so we shall establish
a little code of forbearance, desiring to give
the least possible offense to each other, and
this will grow, as others come into our Cir
Gle, into an elaborate code of etiquette. II

How Men Die.

If we know all the methods of approach adopted
by an enemy we are the better enabled to ward
off the danger and postpone the moment when
surrender becomes inevitable. In many instances
the inherent strength of the body suffices to
enable it to oppose the tendency toward death
Many, however, have lost these forces TO such a
extent that there is little OF no help. In othe
cases little aid to the weakened lungs will max c
all the difference between sudden death and
many years of useful life Upon the first symp-
toms of Cough, Cold, or any trouble of the
Throat or Lungs, give that old and well-known
