The plain Saxon words, "man" and
"woman," are now considered both
more honorable and fitting, when ap-
piled to Americans, than the cores
pondfng terms, gentleman" and ."la-
dy." This is due partly to a more cor
rect use of language as gentleman"
and "lady" meant originally persons of
noble birth, occupying fixed position
in a society governed by monarchial
rules. Heretofore they have been used
in democratic America to designate any
person of refinement and good breed
ing; but, having been greatly abused
and loosely applied without the least
discrimination, it is nov well under
stood that "man" and woman" is the
more dignified and respectful address:
Therefore no one need feel offended if
spoken of in this way.-Congrega-
kaopaliSk. That is well said. In facc
the term 'ladyn has such significance
in this latitude that it is rarely used,
except as applied to women of doubt
full character. BY the same local rule
the term "gentlemann is almost uni
versally applied to that class Of men
who wear fine clothes, but who have
no visible means of support-gentle-
men of leisure. Give us the plain old
Saxon words, in preference to the new
and Objectionable terms, invented by
those whose views of society were
greatly distorted.

The Nest Under the WOOdShcd.

"When 7 get to he man," said
Frank to his grandpa, who was wind
ing up the tall clock, "I'll do lots .oi
things, wish l was q man now"
''Frankw called Uncle Will from
the yard, "come here ~
Frank ran out, and found his uncle
standing beside the woodshcd with a
large dish partly iillcd with eggs.
Il want you to help me-" he said.
'"The old spcckle hen has made Il nest
under the shed, and / don't want her
to set there. Pm too big to get into
such a small place, but you're just
about the right size to reach under.
Take this stick and push the hen Off as
gently as possible"
Frank lay down flat on the ground,
and with the stick made the hen get
Off the nest. She was very angry
cackling and flying around at a great
rate. But Uncle Will caught her as
Frank drove her out, and shut her up
in coop. Then Frank crawled under
the shed and got all the eggs without
breaking a single one.
When they went into the house Un-
Gle Will said to grandma, II don't
know how should have got that hen
off the nest and the eggs out if it
hadn't been for Frank"
Now" said grandma, ''you sec
you needn't be in such hurry to be q
man. There are some things little
boys can do better than grown-up
folks-that is, little boys who are will
ing and careful. l."-,Stta6cdnl.

Puritan idea Of q Gentleman.

Tn on address on the two hundred
and f;ffieth anniversary Of the settle
ment Of New Haven, William IL.
Kingsley says: The Puritans gave to
the world q new idea of what it is 20 be
a gentleman. With the views respect
ing manhood, which they receive from
the Bible, they conceived Il new idea
rs to what is the proper way to treat
others. Polished manners and 4 grac-
ious department to ones equals IS not
enough, according to the Puritan idea.
A man may smile and smile and be a
william There should be such deli
cacy of perception Of the rights and
feelings of others as To lead Il person
not only to avoid giving oflense to any,
high or low, but the perception should
be accompanied by such Il treatment OF
all as reveals q friendly feeling.
s!This idea of gentleman did not
exist before the time Of the PHrltans.
I do not say that there were not per-
sons who had such u character. Bat
Shakespeare uses the world gentle
man. more than five hundred times,
and not once to designate anything
more than person of high soeia po-
,sitiou. One of the MOST eloquent Eng
lish essayists Of modern time, Rev.
Charles Kingsley, a dignitary OF tn"
Anglican church, says that Puritan
and not the cavalier conception OF
4ghat Il British gentleman should be Is
Uhe one accepted by the whole Britisn
nation at this day"

The Noon Lunch.

Perhaps the doctor is right who says
that greater portion of the sickness in
this country is caused by the unpleas-
ant habit of eating too rapidly. 1t is
interesting to watch the average citi-
zen when he goes iuto restaurant for
his dinner. He doesn't seem to regard
the meal with any degree Of fondness,
but acts as though the eating of it is
one of those disagreeable duties which
confronts a man at every step Oh the
highway of life. He attacks the meal
savagcly, and you can hear his knife
and fork rattling furlong away. He
shovels the food into his mouth as a
hired man shovels corn into a shelling
machine. and swallows it without
chewing it. He pours down q lot of
ice-water when the meat is consumed,
with frantic endeavor to make it as
indigestible as possible, and when the
last rites are over he rushes to the cash.
ier's desk and settles with an express
sion of relief mantling his radiant
countenacce like a rainbow after q
storm. The stern physician says that
people should eat slowly, and while
away the time between bites by con-
versation about the weather, the crops,
or any cheerful subject. In this way
the days of their years of their Pilgrim
age may be many.

Rome never Changes.

How many of our readers have
studied Pope Plus ks Encyclical
and Syllabus, issued by him in 1854,
we know not; but they can find both
in full (among other places) in Gap
pleton's Cyclopedia of 1854" in which
Bible Societies, the principles of civil
and religious liberty, the separation of
Church and state, are denounced, and
that the Roman religion has the ex-
elusive right of being recognized by
the State that all other forms of re-
ligion are unlawful; that the papal
hierarchy is independent of civil au.
thority, and that the Church of
Rome has supreme control over edu-
cation, literature, and even science,
and that it has the right to enforce
submission to its DEGREES. This AL
Iocution and Syllabus was issued not
in 1854, but in 1864, less than quar-
ter of q century ago, the full text OF
which anybody can read who cares to |;
and he will learn, too, that if men
wish to be in the Church.and in the
way of salvation, one thing is Of neces-
sity-that we adhere to the Pope. No
Pope, no salvation.

Lifting the Hat.

Politeness costs nothing, and yet it
does not come without an effort, and
the best time to cultivate it is i'll early
life. OF one form of politcncss, lifting
The hat, L{arpcr's Young i'eQp(c
says:
The lifted hat, for instance, is 4 sign
Of respect from one person to another,
!; brief way OF saying, without words,
| ~ hold YOU in honor, and am glad to
do So" Only boor keeps his hat on
| in the house, where, for one thing, he
does not need its shelter from wind
and weather, and where ladies have
their abode. A gentleman always
raises his hat, when he meets them, TO
the ladies whom he knows, ana some
of the most finished gentlemen OF the
old school, not content with Il mere
lifting, take their hats of, and stand
bareheaded while speaking with
women on the street or at the door of q
house. But how are boys to learn the
easy, graceful lifting of the hat-the
iinstinctive homage of strength to
weakness, of the gentleman to the
lady? Only by practicing it from
babyhood on.
"Max lifted his hat to girl" eN-
claimed Willie, who had come to New
York from a town where boys Of iif-
teen were not accustomed to pay such
attention to their girl friends.
"Of course" said Max. "Every
fellow does. What do you take me
form
"And you bowed to your mother, as
| if YOU had not seen her a half dozen
times to-day"
"Certainly," returned Max. "a
fellow who didn't know enough to
bow to his mother when he met her
couldn't go with our fellows, let me
tell you. Why, Will, we all do that"
And Willie who. at heart, was a
mother-loving lad, needing only pol
! ish, resolved to copy his cousin.
Do not undcr-rate polish. A dia-
mond in the rough may possess value,
but diamond after the cutters tool
! has brought out it's smoothness and
beauty will command much greater
price in the market.
az know that Stanley is forgetful of
politeness," apologized fond mother
| for a little son who habitually kept on
his hat in the house, whistled at the
dinner table, interrupted conversation,
and strewed his possessions broadcast
over parlOrs and sitting-rOom. "But," !"
she continued, "boys will be boys.
He will do better when he is older"
Possibly. Yet the doing better then
will be at the cost of much snubbing
and sharp usage from the world, and
politeness will never be the second
| nature to this boy than it is to one
who is never allowed TO omit cour-

RcsnOusc 10 ENGLISH OvertureS.

Why not begin with our "kin over
the sea" and respond to the proposal OF
two hundred and thirty-three members
of the British Parliament made by the
mouth of leading statesman, of the
liberal type, Sir, Lyon Playfair, in the
fall of 1857, and conclude treaty with
our mother country that we will not
appeal to the sword until we have ap-
pealed to reason, conscience ana justice
as represented in an arbitral court.
A concurrent resolution to that effect
only failed to unanimously y pass the
United States Senate by the arresting
motion of Senator Reidelberger of Nir-
ginia. 1t waits the action of the next
House of Representatives
Let us inquire against whom must
we erect the land Notifications ana
build the ships of all enormous navy
to the depletion of our treasury and
the lmpoverishment of our taX--pay-
ers? Against Great Britain alone.
No other power can hold the sea or
really veX our shores. No other, eX-
cent Mexico, touches our border.
With treaty that shall refer every
dispute, unsettled by negotiation, to an
impartial court, by whose decision each
country stand, as England stood when
she paid the Alabama claims thus
awarded, what is the need of aIming
against the mother country?

To Wives: In your stuay to master
your husbands temper, do not forget
to, keep q firm hold Of your own.
Women are less selfish and less inl-
perious, but they are more sensitive
and hasty than men, and more apt, on
small occasions, to mount into fame
and become indignant about trifes.l
Of all things in the world, beware
most of this fault, for by indulging In
it YOU lose the grace and 1ahtage-
ground of your sex. When your hus-;
band speaks harshly to you-as even.
the best of husbands may do in an
evil moment-either remain silent, or,
if you are pressed hard, give firm
but placid reply in tone that express
es neither evaporation nor oontempt
