COMPANY MANNERS.

| know a woman who is always
harping about "culture' and refine
ment' and "etiquette," and who
does not this minute know the mean
ing of that old fashioned term good
manners " She is always regretting
the lack of culture among her neigh
bors, and there is not one of them
who is not more polite than she is.
| have heard her actually yell at her
servants, and storm at her children,
and ! do not think her husband is
the happlest man in the world. In
society she is charming woman.
She knows always just what to say
and how to say it. | never saw a
woman who could excel her in glid
ing across a room and sinking grace
fully in a chair. Her little boys can
tip their hats SO prettily to the ladies
on the street: her little girls can enter
a room with toes properly turned
out and with the grace of little
queens; and, alas! both the little
boys and little girls can be as imper-
tinent and display the worst manners
of any children | ever saw. And
they literally fight among themselves
They are not taught to be polite to
each other. The mother seldom
favors them with their own properly
chosen words and graceful manners
when they are alone with her. Dis
cord reigns until the door bell rings
and then the entire household must
put on good manners.
"lt we don't,' one of the children
said, I'VE catch it when the COM
pany's gone!" This is an extreme
case, but do we not all have our
company "manners?" Do we speak
just as gently and sweetly to our
children, to our husbands and wives,
when we are alone with them as
when in the presence of the chance
caller? Do we say to the transgress-
ing Johnnie or Katie, Don't do
that, DEAR" or, "Stop that this min
ute, | tell you?" Which is it? Do we
say "please" and "thank you" to
each other and to our servants at all
times, or are those pleasant little
words held in reserve with the rest

SETTER THAN GOLD.

Better than grandeur better than gold,
Than ranks and titles a thousand fold,
Is IA healthy body and mind at ease,
And simple pleasures that always please;
A heart that can feel for another's woe,
And share its Joys with genial glow,
With sympathIes large enough to enfold
All men as brothers, is better than gold.
Better than gold is "A conscience clear
Though toll for bread in an humble sphere,
DOubly blessed with content and health,
Untired by the lusts or cares OF wealth;
Lowly living and lofty thought,
Adorn and ennnble poor mans cot:
For mind and morals in natures plan
Are the genuine tests of gentleman.
Better than gold is the sweet repose
OF the sons OF toll when their labOrs close:
Better than gold is the poor mans sleep
The balm that drops in his slumber deep,
Bring sleepy draughts to the dowl.y bed
Where luxury pillows its aching head,
But he his simple opiate deems
a shorter route to the land OF Dreams
bcNtSl eulu Is IIe lulnhluS ullElu,
That in the realm of books can tind
A treasure SURPRISING Australian ore,
And live with the great and good of yore:
The Sage's lore and poets lay,
The glOries of empire pass away;
The worlds great dream will thus enfold
And yield pleasure better than gold.
Better than gold is peaceful home,
When all the hreside characters come,
The shrine OF love. the heaven OF life,
HallOwed by mother, or sister, or wife;
However humble the home may be,
Or tried with sorrow by heavens decree,
The blessings tnat never were bought or sol,
And centre there, are better than gold.

EXPENSIVE UNDEROLOTHING.

A woman who wants to be extrava-
CANT can walk into one of the largest
of the Sixth avenue stores and buy
$3.50 suit of underclothing from the
stock on the shelves. She can even
make her choice between a number of
different styles of suits at that prlce.
When it comes to the cheaper sort of
goods, suits that sell for from SI25 to
SITS, there are scores of different styles
from which she can select. There are
whole shelves filled with boxes con-
tanning nothing but these goods, for
which it would seem that there could
be no demand. The head of such
department in one of these stores said
the other day: eyes, you would think
the woman who could afford to have
that sort of underclothing would have it
made to order, so as to be sure of get
ting something different from what any
body could buy, but they don't. We
have scores of regular customers for the
most expensive underwear that we can
make up, and they make their choice
right from our stock. l suppose they
think that the price is guarantee enough
that the goods are not likely to be very
common. Another thing about it is
that it would be very hard to get such
fine work as there is upon these
garments by having them made to Or
der. Even if we took all orders our
selves we should have to send to Paris
to get it filled, and that would be too
much delay. There would be scarcely
more work on a garment entirely of
lace than upon some of these high
priced ones that we sell. All the sew
ing upon them is as finely done as
though it were embroidery. You can
not tell where the linen leaves off and
the lace trimmings begins, so neatly is
the work done. Then there is good
deal OF real embroidery on them be-
sides, and the lace has to be made
specially for the garments. ."-M'1S

of our company manners?" 1t is
only in the presence of strangers that
we smilingly overlook or gently chide
the trif1ing faults of our children?
Oh, those company manners"
They are the ruination Of a house
hold. They cannot always be put
on and off at will. Traces of the
every day discord and lack of har-
mony will manifest themselves
through the affectation of all the
mere company manners" one can
assume. Habitual politeness and
kindness and gentleness should be
the unwavering rule in every house,
even on "Blue Mondays"
Il have been in homes in which it
seemed to me that every member Of
the household seemed bent on seeing
how. hateful and disagreeable they
could be to each other. The mother
would speak in nagging, fretful
tone; the father "ordered everybody
around;" the children quarreled; the
servants went around with their noses
in the air, ready and eager for little
tits with anybody and everybody.
How wretched such homes are! In
some of them they don't even have
company manners.
Sometimes my wife and l say on
Sunday: "Now let us agree that we
will not say a single cross word to
any one this whole week. Let us be
studiously polite to each other and
the children. Let us be very mind
tul of the feelings of every person
with whom we may come in contact.
Let us not fret nor complain nor do
anything that good, decent, well-be-
haved Christians should not do"
And if, when the next Sunday comes,
we have, through the grace of God,
keep this resolve, it goes without
saying that we have been happy and
the world has, perhaps. been madea
little better for our being in it.

He KICKED THRICE.

Yes, we meet with all sorts of people
here, answered the railroad conductor.
as he sat down in the smoker after
making his rounds. 1t is a great place
in which to study human nature.
Aren't there good many kickers
among travellers?
Plenty of them. l could have fight
every hour In the day if | wanted to
talk back. There is one in the third
seat ahead now. He lives at R,
and he never comes or goes without
trying to kick up row.
He seems quiet enough.
But he only seems. I'm expecting
at any time to hear his war whoop. 1t
is just an hours run to R, and I'll
bet he makes three kicks in that time.
I'll 60 you for box OF cigars.
Done old fellow.
They were shaking hands on it when
the man rose up and went to the water
cooler. He took two or three sips of
water and then walked back to the
conductor and said:
When you get ready to clean the
drugs and chemicals out of that cooler
please let me know. Perhaps l can
buy half ton of copperas at wholesale
figures.
That's one, SAID the conductor, as
the kicker took his seat.
The tram stopped and another round
was made, and the official had scarcely
taken his seat when the kicker came
over and SAID:
If there is a window in this coach
which can be raised l wish you would
label it for me.
That's two, whispered the conductor,
and we've got sixteen miles to 60 yet.
The kicker sat down to his news
paper, and he was so quiet for time
that the drummer began to have hopes.
Eight-ten-twelve miles rolled behind
the train, and he seemed deeply inter-
ested in an article when he sud-
denly bobbed up and came over to
the conductor
I'll bet fifty to one there are feas in
this coach2 I've just been bitten by
something mighty like one and I'm 60
ing to send in complaint to head
quarters.
Are you satisfied? asked the conduc-
tor after the kicker had taken his seat
I've got to be. And that's his usual
practice, is it?
Oh, he's let me off light to- day.
Well, it's worth box of cigars to see
into human naure in this way, mused
the drummer as the train drew at R.
The kicker and the conductor got
off together and the former softlv
querid:
Was it three kicks, Tom?
Yes.
And the bet?
A box of cigars.
All right. Bring my half down to
night. l Il be going up again to-mor
row, and you see if you can't make il
six kicks and two boxes

KEEPING A WIFE.

The average man experiences a
calm sense of satisfaction when he
comes home at night and finds his
wife seated in low rocking chair,
demurely engaged in sewing. In the
ideal portrait of domestic happiness
that a mans imagination hangs upon
its walls the wife is always seated in
that same low chair, her hair, in nine
cases out of ten, parted in the middle
white apron tied about her waist,
plying her needle in the interest of
her family. | do not say that some
men may not be willing and even
pleased to find their wives at the
piano, or the easel or at the writing
desk, but | do firmly believe and
maintain that the apron and low
chair and "the long white seam"
bring to most masculine minds sense
of security, of possession, of inward
satisfaction that no other condition
can offer him. Far be it from me to
commit myself upon the question
whether or not it is the wife's duty
to conform to this standard. Life is
short indeed, but one learns early
that it is not ,fe to lay down gen
eral rules which may afterward be
misapplied and misconstrued. l ex-
tend my condolences to the wife who
has not the tact and judgment to
decide such questions for herself, but
the few modest suggestions | have
to offer are for the husbands who will
not read this rticle, and who would
not understand it if they did.
Does any man ever guess, Won
der, how little real significance there
may be in the fact that as he reclines
in his easy chair of an evening he
can glance at his wife whenever he
cares to do so over the top of his
newspaper. He sees her profile and
the outlines of her head as the lamp
light reveals 1t against the shadowy
background of the room. but he can
not see her thoughts nor know ex-
actly the position he occupies in
them. One Of the things that
woman clings to as long as she lives
is her ideal conception Of what a man
should be. In spite of herself she is
continually bringing her husband to
the test of comparison with this ideal,
not contrasting him with it to his
own derogation, but in the effort to
fit hun the garments of our hero, to
clothe him with that hero's attri
butes and to feel for and in him that
love and pride which the hero would
have compelled. A woman's safety
lies in her shutting eyes and ears to
to thousand things that would
shake her love for her husband to its
foundation stones-the little discour
tesies and inditferences, and small
offences against taste and f-e'ing,
that are part of every days disci-
pline. She yields herself willingly
to this benumbing of the senses, but
meanwhile what of the man upon
whom her hope rests? Should not he
be told something of the struggle by
which she keeps him upon the ped
estal where in the first fresh enthu-
siasm of her love she placed him? He
would be ashamed to have it said
among his friends that he was not
liberal with her in the matter of
pocket money, that he snubbed her
