BRITISH ETIQUETTE.
Where Professional Men Stand in tho
 Phalanx of English Society.

Where Professional Men Stand in tho
 Phalanx of English Society. >
 It is great satisfaction to know exactly where one stands in the grand phalanx of society-whether one Is general, colonel, major, captain, lieutenant, sergeant, cor poral, high private or camp follower in that host composed of many grades. The British have way of adjusting these matters, and fixing the social status of all classes, from princes and peers to peddlers and paupers, which is really stunning. They classify the entire population, with remorseless exacti- tude, in one hundred and twenty eight classes, beginning at the throne as the top at the work-house, or thereabouts, Accord ing to this nicely graduated scale ot pre- cedence, untitled men of letters are very, very low people. They belong to class one hundred and twenty-three, only five de- grees above zero. For the benefit of all low-caste Americans who may contemplate visit to England, we give the subdivisions of their "fardowners'' of class 193, officially announced in "Court Ettiquette:"
 'CLAss 123. Professional gentlemen-as SO. licitors, attorneys, proctors, engineers, archi. tects, medical practitioners. (not being physt- cians), artists, literary men, merchants, mas ter-manufacturers, scientific professors, and others not engaged in manual labor, farming of land, or retail trade."
 We don't as yet understand the niceties of precedence quite as well as our trans atlantic cousins; but we are getting along pretty well for new beginners. We know enough already to place the drones of our hive before the workingbees.

TO CURE DRUNKENNESS.

Tho Cause of the Craving for Liquor and
 How to Overcome It.
 A correspondent writes to the New Y ork, Sun as follows: ''You published a letter of an anonymous correspondent asking: Can any one give me cure for drunkenness., will, in the same way, give your corre:. spondent a cure through you, if you will publish it.
 Indulgence in spirits after awhile-which is longer or shorter, according to the con- stitution of the person-produces irritation. inflammation and fever of the stomach, hence the craving for drink; and the great CT the fever the greater the craving As spirits act also on the nervous system 1t be- comes impaired and the brain weakened, Who can deny that person ailing in these several ways is laboring under a serious disease? He has then no will-power to ex- ercise, because the seat of the will is in the nervous centers. and when these are i'm paired or destroyed so also is the will; power.
 ''Here Is the cure: Let the person have within his reach small vial of the best kind of tincture of Peruvian bark, and when the craving for liquor comes on him let him take teaspoonful of the tincture every two hours. In few days the taste for liquor is destroyed, and destroyed while indulging it, for tincture of Peruvian bark is spirits into which has been drawn all the substance of Peruvian bark. It is to be found in every drug store, but it should! be of the very best.
 "Peruvian bark is tonic. It is also :Ee best, if not the only cure known for fever. It is from Peruvian bark that quinine is extracted, and, moreover, it is antiperi- odic. It is by these three agencies that it 1 destroys the craving for hquor. Any one wishing to be cured of that ailmcnt can be in the way have described, but there are few drunkards. indeed, who wish to bo curedn

An Albany girl mistook a burglar who called the other night for her lover who had agreed to come at about the sams hour to be the best man at a high-toned elopement. The burglar was quick-witted and led the young lady away while his pal went in to rob the house. Then the young man came and burglar No. 9 pretended to be the young lady and followed him out into the night with his pockets full of plunder. They passed under light and the lover was dis mayed to find that his companion M Egas 2 man, probably the angry father of the girl. rhe young man accordingly decamped. About the same time the girl discovered her mis. take and hastily returned to the house. She was found in q thoroughly repentant mood on the doorstep the next morning.

WORK AND WORKERS.

SENATOR GIBSON, after European trip, says: All over Europe continental police men no longer browbeat the common peo- pie, who are better dressed, better behaved and happier looking. Aristocracy he sees everywhere declining, and he is satisfied that plutocracy will be given chance of taking its place. The common people have also an air of self-respect, which was cer- tainly not the case thirty years ago.

HIS SECOND PATIENT.
Why There Were No Ghosts on tho

Why There Wore No Ghosts on tho
 Young Doctors Doorstep. ] A certain man, who was lately wed, dwelt in the country, far from the noise of any town. It chanced one night that his wife fell sick, and, being ignorant of the ways of women follx he mounted his cart-horse and galloped exceedingly fast toward the town in search of skillful leech. :, On the road he met a gaunt and withered hag, who asked him: '
 sWhither so fast, good man2" l!
 ''To get Q leech for my wife who is sick. unto death."
 s.Know ye how to tell good doctor9"
 May, mother; take the first which God leadeth me to-"
 Whereupon the ancient dame gave him a sprig of Euphrasy and said: \ "Hold this to thy eyes when thou lookest at Q doctor house and thou will straight way see the ghosts of those who have died from his bungling. Take thou the doctor with the fewest ghosts" Thereafter whenever that man came to 8 doctors house he held the mystic herb to his eyes, and oddzooks fearful sight met his clairvoyant gaze. Around every doctor 8 door shivered ghastly crowd of uneasy | ghosts, and, what seemed strange to that man, the larger and more comfortable the house the greater was the awesome troop at l the door.
 Through the deserted streets he galloped from doctors house to doctors house, seek ing in vain for one whose gates were not besieged by uneasy spirits. At length up quiet lane he espied @ modest house bear ing doctors shingle, and lol but soli' l tary ghost sat upon the door step. ,
 "Here, by Gods grace" quoth the man, l ''is the doctor for me-"
 But little time had passed, weeu, before that stout horse was bearing the man aud his physician along the road to the sick | woman.
 When they were well on toward the end of their journey the doctor smiled a pleasant smile to see, and said:
 II wonder right well by what good chance you called on me, for know have only beer practicing medicine two days, and your gooe wife will be the second patient I have treated.''

WAS HIS OWN WIFE.
How SwindIer Collected Insuranc
 Money on His Own Life.

How SwfndIer Collected Insurance
 Money on His Own Life.
 Insurance frauds more remarkable than that alleged to have been attempted in the Hillman case have been attempted in Ger many.
 There is the case of the man Kumf, who was imprisoned for collecting insurance money on his own life, says writer in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. This man was a skillful impersonator, and, disguised as woman, he applied for an insurance on his own life.
 As the husband of the applicant he pre- sented himself for m0dical examination, was accepted and the policy issued. In course of time he feigned sickness and was attended by short-sighted old physl- clan he had selected as man easily to be duped.
 One day during this spell of sickness he got up quietly, disguised himself on ce more as his wife, went to the insurance office, paid a premium about due, and tearfully announced the grievous sickness of the in- sured.
 The company seem to have suspected that this illness was not at all straight, for, having casually asked the name of the at tending physician, they sent to that gentle man, whose replies to their questions al- layed their suspicious.
 
 haste and told that Kumf was dead. The old fellow does not appear to have been very conscientious or painstaking. On his arrival at the house he was met by Kumf, this time disguised as the wife or alleged widow, and taken to darkened room in which lay corpse. His examina; tion of this must have been nominal, for in a short space of time he quit the house! leaving behind hlm the required death cer- tificate.
 As the bereaved widow, Kumf attended the interment of what purpOrted to be his own body. Still, as the widow of himself he obtained the insurance money on his own life and his little plot had answered ad- mirably.
 Unfortunately for him, however, he got intoxicated, first with success and then with liquor, whereupon he neglected to keep up the disguise, went about as the l dead man redivivus. was detected and still lauguishes in jail.

POINTED RESOLUTIONS.

Penuri0us Kentucky Youths Called to
 Their Senses with Emphasis.
 For some time the greatest indignation has prevailed among the fair young ladies of Calhoun, Ky. The young gentlemen re- gently have not been as attentive as Ken. lucky gallantry warranted. There have been no picnics, no ice-cream parties, no lawn festivals, no boat rides. In fact, whenever and wherever money was to be spent the beaux were absent, but if no funds were required they appeared in mum. bers. This may not have been que to stingi. ness, but to a temporary poverty which they could not prevent; but. in the judg ment of the girls, that did not suffice for an excuse. Accordingly the indignant belles held recent meeting and adopted the fol lowing resolutions, which were printed in the local paper, the Constitution:
 WHEREAS. We, the undersigned, believing ment from the young men of thls town that we merited, have with view to self-protection. mutual benefit and future welfare, organized ourselves into body; and
 Rssolued, l. That we will allow no young nan to 'catch on" and accompany us from church. ments. etc.. who has not been our escort to such placos

A Scientific Age. O what restless age is this Of scientific art!
 An age that scorns all sentiment And tenderness of heart. An age of foul suspicious, doubts; Our old traditions, too, We're told in cold, prosaic way, Are found to be untrue. Sir Walter Raleigh didn't spread His cloak before the Queen, In order that her Majesty
 Should keep her slippers clean. Nor did Will Shakespeare write play, Again we have been told; And Mary never had lamb, Twas Lucy, we are told. And last, not least, some learned mey Do boldly certify
 That Washington, without doubt Has often told lie. The cutting of the cherry tree Is nothing but myth, And Pocahontas didn't save
 The life of Captain Smith. Now what on earth can we believe That's either right or wrong? Why, just believe as do now, That we have lived too long.
