SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.
Stationery for Polite Correspondence and
the Proper Form of Notes and Letters.

Stationery for Polite Correspondence and
the Proper Form of Notes and Letters.
1t is almost unnecessary to say that ruled
paper mo longer fashionable for correspond.
en6e. formal OF Informal But as there are
on the market great variety of fanciful pa
pers chiefly remarkable for bad taste and &C.
centricity of coloring and form - paper
adorned with notices, with flowers OF
even animals, paper with torn edges OF
gilded edges, with envelopes extremely long
and narrow and opening at the side, and vari-
Gus similar inventions The following advice,
from Good Housekeeping, as to what is the
best form in stationery for note and letter
writing, is quoted
Deep cOlors are always out of taste, and
even in tinted paper care should be used that
it be of the most delicate tones, as soft grays,
dull blues and cream or light coffee color
pink and green are without the pale. There
is one choice which is always safe; the cream
white. thicl, linen used of the size suitable for
note or letter, and this has also the merit OF
being unaffected by the changes of fashion.
Many ladies pride themselves upon the rigid
simplicity of their paper and its accompanl-
ments. and keep always to the same kind;
for older ladies this habit is particularly ap-
propriate. We know Of one who clings to
very thin foreign paper OF dull lead blue,
and to those who have learned to value her
characteristic letters, the sight of the envel-
ope is as grasp of her hand.
There are many fancies in which a young
lady NAV indulge and still keep within the
bounds of good taste. The intricate and
gorgeous monogram which so inspired collec-
tors a few years ago is creeping back into some
degree of favor, but simple letter or COM
bination of letters, stamped in one color or in
silver or gold, sa prettier device; these letters
are usually placed across the upper left corner
of the sheet aud are not seen on the envelope,
which should be sealed with wax. A very
sensible custom has come into vogue of hav-
ing the name Of street and number Of house
at the top of the paper.
The question is often asked if the use Of
perfunied paper is allowable. There can be
10 objection to it in social notes, but the
odor should be of the most delicate nature.
A faint touch of orris is perhaps best, and
heliotrope or violet is pleasant, but the
heavier doors, as wusk or patchouli, are
vulgar in the extreme.
Now as to the letter and note paper The
date of letter should be written in the upper
right corner, near the top OF the page The
address should be placed there also, unless
stamped upon the paper, in which case it is:
of course, unnecessary. In note the date is
more often at the end, below the signature,
and the name of the person addressed occu-
pies the corresponding side. Never date a
letter vaguely; it may seem trivial matter
at the time, but do not forget to write day of
week, month and the year; it is far more ele-
giant to do so, and may save the recipient
much trouble if future reference be made

Blood Relations.

The French Academy has of late had pre-
scented to it some curious statistics in re
lation to the subject of the marriage of
blood relations. These have been largely
published to warn the people of France
against the danger of these marriages,
which are said to amount to fully 2 per
cent of all the marriages in that country.
In Lyons and Paris it has been ascertained
that while one child born in ordinary wed
lock may be deaf and dumb, the proportion
of children of blood relatives thus afflicted
is % per cent. greater; In Bordeaux
it was 30 per cent. The liability
to this misfortune increases very greatly
according to the nearness of the relation
ship. On the other hand, it is a remarkable
fact as connected with the marriage of per
sons who are deaf and dumb, but who are
strangers in blood, that their children are
generally able to speak and to hear.

YESTERDAYS SCARE.
A Mild Case of Smallpox Placed Under Strict
Quarantine.

Somewhat of a scare (Which proved to be
altogether unnecessary was created yes
terday when it became known that there
was a case of smallpox at the Valley house.
The sick man is o. e. Williams, of Den
yer, who came here with the Colorado eX
cursionists two weeks ago. He first went
to one of the large hotels and, finding that
it was costing him too much. he moved to
the Valley. This was two weeks ago to-
day. The next day he found work at the
planning mill of Taylor, ROmney & Arm
strong, where he worked a week. Last
Sunday he went out to the Hot springs and
when he returned he complained of not
feeling well and did not return to work the
next day.
On Wednesday DR.. Richards was called
in and prescribed for him. Yesterday
slight rash was noticed on Williams face
end the doctor was sent for. He expressed
the belief that it was smallpox and, calling
in other doctors, he found them OF the same
opinion.
Quarantine Physician Richards immedi-
ately placed the entire premises under
strict quarantine. A fence was erected en-
closing the sidewalk and part of the street
from the. western limit of the Valley house
grounds on South Temple street, around
the corner south to a point halfway be-
tween South Temple and First South
streets. This takes in the Valley house
and the haley House cottages.
Mr.. and Mrs Robert Watson, Mr.. and
Mrs. Leo Clawson and Dr. and Mrs. Har-
rison are among the Salt Lallers who are
inside the fence.
A rumor was circulated last evening to
the effect that Williams was dead, but at
| the time this story was being told on every
street corner, Williams was getting away
with dinner that would make the'average
corpse look sick Up to a late hour last
night the patient was doing very well, and
there was every prospect of an early re
covery.
With the strict quarantine regulations
that have been established, there is not the
slightest danger of the disease spreading,
and those inside the fence have little to
worry about.

Uy winch messages from TIE headquarters In
the brain are sent to the minute stations in

When we are glum and dismal and low
spirited it is, according to the writer already
quoted, because the Geographic apparatus is
out'of order and the nerve force demoralized.
When nerves work wrong it is as when tele-
graphic poles are shaky or wires tangled or
crossed or currents irregular or batteries con-
fused.
According to the irregularity of our nerves,
so are our irregular moods. Ii all Is right,
we are happy and CHEEKY and sunshiny. But
let the batteries blunder, or the currents
cross, or the wires become entangled, and we
are irritable, sulky, i'll tempered, OF angry, as
the case may be- In some of our distTeSsful
moods we pout and sulk, and misinterpret
and misunderstood We take otfense where
no offense is intended, and we impute to
others motives which are never conceived by
them.
At times, when the moods are out of sorts
we think the whole world is prosecuting us,
and we, the afflicted objects of persecution,
are, above all other human creatures singled
out for martyrdom. There are circumstances
under which most of US can, without in
superable difficulty, rise from the moodiness
which Is brought about by letting the nerves
have their own way Mental and physical
diet has much to do with it. Breeding over
real sorrows and imaginary miseries will
make the best of us moody and wretched

Vaccination.

In Paris, where the law requiring VAGINA
ton is feebly enforced, the mortality from
smallpox ranges from 1876 to l0.1 to the
O0,OO0 inhabitants, while in the principal
German cities, where the vaccination laws are
rigidly enforced, the death rate is but LA to
the 100000 inhabitants. London, under COM
pulsory vaccination, has a death rate from
smallpox of but0 to the 100000 inhabitants.
On the other hand, according to The Scien-
tifc American, which is authority for the
above, in the canton of Zurich, in Switzer-
land, since the compulsory vaccination law
was repealed in 1888, the death rate from
smallpox has risen steadily from S to s. to
the 100000 inhabitants

Grass and Apples.

In a paper read before farmers
meeting in Boston, Mr.. o. b. Hayden,
ofW orcester, expressed himself as fol.
lows on this much discussed subject,
"Shall orchards be cultivated?" He
said: Orchards should be cultivated
according to circumstances. They
may be planted with hoed crops
until the shade is Objectionable; then
kept in grass, and top dressed an
nually or biennially with stable
manure, ground bone and ashes.
A lime land must be kept in good
heart to produce good fruit, and
when the land is in grass, fruit that
falls off is less liable to injury by dirt
and bruise than when in plowed land
But when two ops,grass and apples
are grown upon land each season, the
soil should be enriched in view OF
this double drain resulting from two
annual crops. Furthermore, it is q
we'll established fact that on land
kept in good heart, apple trees viii
bare every season, equallzing the
product, and are more advantageous
to the grower, as a good annual pro
duct tends to better cultivation and
care.
