;. {. b, 4 CONSTANT READER
Our correspondent has made the
best of what we must regard as a
hopelesslv bad case. He has shown
that the growing practice among n
certain class of young men of taking
by the arm the lady with whom they
may be walking and marching her
along the street as though they had
arrested her and were conducting
her TO the police station may be de
Tended and excused, and that Is all.
That practice cannot be justified.
II looks exceedingly awkward, 1t is
hopelessly vulgar, 1t Is inconsistent
with that fine courtesy which is due
to the gentler sex, and it suggests a
kind of familiarity, the exhibition of
which upon the street Is unseemly
end out of place. The essential i'm
propristy of the practice consists in
the fact that when n woman takes "A
man ; arm she does so of her own
active volitiOn, but when it Is tho
other way about, 1t Is the mans yoli-
ton that has been active, while the
woman has merely passively acquies-
ed III n proceeding 10 which she NAV
have secretly objected. Thus when
n man has a woman by the arm he
has the air of forcing himself upon
her and Of assuming an unwarrant-
Ell and unwelcome intimacy. The
theory under the etiquette of the
matter IS that woman leans upon a
mans arm for support, which is not
otherwise to be had, and a radical
objection to the contrary practice is
that it involves a contact which to
any woman of refined taste must be
unwelcome. SO we hope that upon
reflection no reader of the North
American viii commit the vulgar
solecism Of grasping lady by the
arm a though he were II policemen
and she prisoner 1t Is most vile.
PRAY YOU avoid 1t. - Philadelphia

Out Of Change.

The following good one Is told by
the Philadelphia Enquirer of a re-
cent Presidential excursion down to
the eastern shore of Maryland.
The party embraced Secretaries
Blaine and Window and others.
They went TO church and were
fortunate enough to hear an excel
lent sermon from the venerable Pro
testant Episcopal Bishop of Marty
land, who was there to administer
the rite of confirmation. 1t was n
rare pleasure to listen to discourse
from a clergyman who did not i'm
prove the occasion by referring to
those high in authority or by preach
ing or praying at them. The Presi-
dent and the two Secretaries, one on
either side of him, sat in quiet satls-
faction. But their peace of mind
was suddenly and rudely dispelled.
The Offertory was sung. At the
familiar words,
Let your light so shine befors men, &c,
the President and the Secretaries
each quietly dropped hand into a
pocket.
Lay not up for yourselves treasures on
earth.
Window drew forth IA crisp one
dollar note and held IL between thumb
and forefinger ready for the ap-
preaching plate The President and
Mr.. Blaine went little deeper into
their pockets, one brought up a
nickel and the other a dime Their
faces flushed 1t would never do to
make such a small contribution.
He that soweth little shall reap little
and he that soweih plenteously shall reap
plen:eously. . God Inveth cheerful
grvcr.
The President went to his pocket
book and the Secretary of State ex-
plored his vest-pocket with nervous
fingers.
Zlccheus stood forth and said unto the
Lord: Behold, Lord, the half OF my goods
give to the poor and if I have done wrong
TO any man restore fourlold.
The plate was only four pews
away. What the President found in
his pocketbook was one fifty-dollar
note and n ten-dollar greenback-
nothing smaller. What Mr.. Blaine
( found was two ten-doilar notes
nothing smaller. To put in nickel
or a dime only was not to be thought
, of. To give ten dollars was more
than either cared to do besides, how
ostentatious it would look! Each
looked at Window, sitting there
calmly, the richest of the party, with
his dollar note in hand. He shook
his head.
Charge them who are rich in this world
/ that they be ready TO give and glad to
distribute.
There was no time for further
pocket exploration or consideration.
& With smile of commiseration at
each other, and something like
ghoulish glee ON Windom's placid
countenance, the President and the
Secretary of State each planked down
his tcn-dollar note for ''the poor oi

The Horn Fly.

Last summer new pest was re
ported in cattle in New jersey, Della
ware, Maryland and northern Vir-
ginia- The pest has again made its
appearance this summer. 1t Is a
small fly, half the size OF house fly,
which settles in great numbers around
the base of the horns and on tho
other portions of the body where IL
cannot he reach ed by either tail or
head. 1t sucks a moderate amount
of blood, reduces the condition of the
cattle, and lessons the yield of milk
by from one-third to one-half.
The new pest has been investigat-
ed by the Nation Department of
Agriculture through the acting
entomologist, L. o. Howard, who has
succeeded IN tracing the entire life
history of the pest He finds that
the fly lays its eggs usually at nigh;
IN freshly-drOpped COW dung, and
that for the development of the egg
through the maggot stage to the
perfect tiy again space of only
twelve days is necessary. He saws

may be made to milch cows and valu
able animals which will keep the flies
