Dancing at Eighty-fve.

The island OF Nantucket is off the
track of the modern world. The peo-
pie and their customs are very unlike
those in any other part OF the world
the "off- island part" as the Nantuck-
eters are wont to call it.
Old fashioned customs and habits
prevail. They know but little about
the new-fangled manners and methods
of modern social life. They follow the
beaten paths of a century ago, live
simple, thrifty, laborious lives, and
furnish little business for the doctors.
They thrive financially and physi-
cally.
A visitor at an evening gathering on
the island, not long since, tells how one
lady, aged ninety-one, presided at the
piano, and another, aged eighty-fve,
danced. ''And you may take my word
for it," adds the visitor, ''that the dan
cling was sure-enough dancing, if one
might judge from the lady's swapping
eyes, nervous speech and decisive char
acter."

HerOism at Home,

How useless our lives seem to us
sometimes! How we long for an oppor-
tunity to perform some great action!
We become tired of the routine OF home
life, and imagine we would be far
happier in other scenes. We think of
life's great battlefield and wish to be
heroes. We think Of the good we
might do if our lot had been cast in
other scenes. We forget that the
world bestows no such titles as noble
as father, mother, sister or brother In
the sacred precincts of home we have
many chances OF heroism. The daily
acts of self-denial for the good of a
loved one, the gentle word of soothing
for another's trouble, the care for sick,
may all seem as nothing; yet who can
tell the good they may accomplish?
Our slightest word may have an
influence over another for good or evil.
We are daily sowing the seed which
will bring forth some sort OF harvest.
Well will it be for us il the harvest
will be one we will be proud TO garner.

back in after years, and as he tenderly
utters our name, say: Her words and
example prepared me for life OF use.

Courteous,

An English author, writing of the i'm
portance of manner in social life, en-
phasizes the fact that people value
more what their friend feels for them
than what he does for them. They even
look more kindly upon one who meets
their request with an affectionate de-
NAL than upon one who coldly com.
plies with it.
.'An ice-house is very different from
a nice house; and dot will turn a mil
lion into one"
Shakespeare mentions the courtesy that
lean tickle where she wounds" Not a
few public men owe their influence to
the fact that they cannot only say no
with good grace, but what is
sometimes harder, .say yes with a good
grace.
Archdeacon Allen, Of the Church Of
England, was so courteous that he has
been known, when accidentally he had
hit dogs nose with cane, to say,
half uncOnsciously, II beg your par

person who was not, though her

Did you notice." said one of the
gentlemen to the other, on leaving the
house, 1.-The archdeacon's refinement in
pretending not to see how vulgar that
old woman WASP" He recognized her
as woman, and was anxious to make
her respect herself as such.
In visiting the cottages of the poor,
his manner was as respectful as when
calling at the mansions of the rich. He
would take off his hat before crossing
the threshold. When the inmate came
to the door at his knock, he would ask,
MAY | Gomez"
If he happened to call while a
cottager's family was at dinner or
supper, he never went in but excused
himself, saying:

time; | hope you are all we'll"
His children were trained to con-
slider rudeness to servant as grave
offense. If they wished a servant to
perform some duty, they asked for il

| Nearly All Worn In This Country
Declared to Be Bogus.
"Oh, yes; my business is very good, !"
said the little man to a New York Sua
reporter. II supply coats OF arms to
all the principal families in New York.
They come TO ME and want me to look
up the history of their family and paint
their coat of arms for them. / have
such large number of records
that can almost always find it for
them"
But what do they do in case they
have no coat of arms?" asked the re-
porter.
"Oh, well, in that case,' replied the
little man, there is no law to hinder a
man from adopting one. Sometimes
people don't like the colors of the
coats that belong to them, and want
me to paint them in different colors.
OF course, in that case can only give
them certificate that it is pal nted
like copy shown"
Mr.. Edward Vermont, the we'll
known editor of the book entitled
American Heraldica," and one OF the
best authorities on the subject in the
country, was found in the editorial
rooms OF the Curio, of which he has
charge, and expressed himself as very
ready to talk upon the subject.
THE fact is" said he, there are
very few families that are entitled to
arms, anyway. The number is much
smaller than is generally supposed,
even by those well read on the subject.
l do not suppose that there are six
hundred families in America who have
any title to the arms they wear. There
surely are not over two hundred in
New York, and not over twenty of
these are Knickerbocker families. The
number of these is very small, indeed,
as almost all of the early Dutch
settlers came from merchant families
in Holland, and there were very few of
them that were not 'ignobilis,' as they
were called in heraldry-that is, not
entitled to wear arms"
"How large proportion of the coats
of-arms that we see on coach panels,
then, are genuine?" asked the re-
porter.
mot over five per cent" replied
Mr.. Vermont. ''and | doubt If there
are that. All the. others are boz
gus. / do not mean that they are
all made up out of whole cloth, but
most Of them are well-known coats
which the persons who wear them
have no right to whatever. In many
instances the people are perfectly
honest in their belief that they belong
to them. Sometimes their father as
sumes them. and bore them so long
that he began to think he owned them;
and their children haven't q doubt
that he did. One OF the most frequent
causes of this is the belief people have
that they are entitled TO their mothers
arms. This is not so. When a man
who is entitled to bear arms marries an
heiress who is also entitled to bear
them, he will place her arms upon a
shield of pretense' upon his own. and
his children will quarter them. But if
an 'ignobilis'- man who has no
arms-marries an heiress, his children
can not mako any use whatever OF
their mothers arms, because they had
nothing to quarter them with"
