The Etiquette OF Dinner Invitations.

Invitations to formal dinners should
be issued at least two weeks in. adj
yalce, on very important occasions
thr' 'e weeks notice is still better. This
obJiates the necessity of a refusal on
acc punt of previous engagements. The
invitations are engraved, the size of
thescard bearing relation to the magni-
tude of the social function. Where
guests are invited to meet a distin-
guished person or visitor from dis
tance, il should be so stated on the
card of invitation. The person so
honored having already fixed the date
at his own convenience, he is again ad
dressed by note regarding the day and
hour of the dinner, and with a note is
enclosed card en- eCidence of the inyi-
tations issued. On all occasions tie
guests of the evening should be pre-
sented to every one present.
In order to enable all present to en-
gage in general conversation it is well
to have only small party. so that ten
or twelve covers are more desirable
than larger number. In our own
dining-room we often entertain twenty
guests though at times we dine twenty
six.
There are evident reasons why invi-
tatlons to a dinner-party should be ac-
cepted or declined if possible upon the
very day on which they are received,
as this viii enable the host to invite
others in the place of those who may
decline yet even at the last hour, for
some unforeseen and sufficient reason
one or more guests may be forced to
send regrets after having accepted. In
that case. to preserve the symmetry of
the table, or to forestall the fatal num-
ber thirteen-which few persons have
the hardihood to encounter-it may be
necessary to call upon acquaintance
who might be styled emergency
friends. Among ones list there are
always some who can be depended
upon to good-naturedly step into the
breach, even ut the eleventh hour, and
no other person need be the wiser con-
cerning the change.
Guests should make it point of
honor TO be punctual. If, as usual,
the hour is set for seven o'clock. all
the guests are certain to be assembled
with their host upon the stroke of the
hour. No dilatory person should be
wal ed for more than ten or fifteen
minutes. In New York and also in
Washington, on account of the pres
sure of business. there is often delay,
so that in these two cities at least seven
or eight O'Clock means quarter past.

Ill Ventilated Churches.

Next to public conveyances the churches

have in mind one bright June morning
when went to a church whose invitation
to "Turn aside and rest awhile" had at
tracted me on week day. The air of the
congregation, devout and orderly, was con-
genial, the service every way attractive;
but the air of the building, drawn from
the subcellar mostly, was too much for
well worked brain to endure, and a split
ting headache sent me out at close of les
sons. ..... r.......
A walk in the fresh air relieved it, and
turned into Fifth avenue church, hoping
to get the benefit of the last half of SER
mon. 1t is church of great respectable
ty and wealth, which prints its musical
programme weekly, as for Chickering
hall concert. But whether the aroma which
filled its asles this Sunday was dead rat
or dead Christian in its vaults, it was any
thing but the odor of sanctity. did want
to hear the closing numbers Of its music,
but went out in a state of ocean paSsen-
ger three hours out.
The obtusenesS of the senses in excellent,
stall fed broadclothed pew owners with
genuine old family catarrhal tendencies is
something to marvel at. Churches ought
to be open daily, if only to get the musty
smell out--the odor little boy described
as "a prayer meeting SMELL" considering
it peculiar to the place.-Shirley Dare.

Fuel from Peat.

A st. Petersburg journal states that
Russian civil engineer, NJ. de Niy..off has
succeeded in producing a fuel from peat
greatly resembling anthracite coal. The
inventor has obtained n patent for his proc
ass, " hlCt. . asii & &. accomplished by
the aid of certain chemicals, and lately an
imperial commission has been engaged in
experimenting with the fuel the result
having been very favorable. The peat was
found to give little less heat than ordi-
nary coal, but more than fir or birch wood,
which is largely used on railways and
steamers and in factories in Russia. In
other respects, however, the peat is supe-
rior to coal, being cheaper, containing but
small percentage of sulphur and being
much smaller in bulk. The artificial fuel
throws off no dirt and emits no smell,
while burning with clear white fame.

The Shirt of Success.

Madame Durand, better known rs Henri
Greville, in one of her books gives a fine
example of young man who felt within
him the fire that is a gift of the gods, !"
and who was willing to sacrifice every
thing for the sake of his career. He is
musician, and his father wishes to make
priest OF him. In speaking of it to his
brother the young artist says: Il would
rather live miserable for ten years, hardly
earning my bread, wearing thrcadbare
clothes, and not daring to go to any ones
house because / shall be too poor. / had
rather, if need be, suffer the pangs of hun
ger and die on my violin than be priest
and renOunce music" This is the spirit
we must have in order to succeed.
To know what one can do, what one will
do, is the first step upward. Then it re-
mains to do it not in half earnest, slip
shod sort of way, but with all the strength
and energy and power of which a person
is capable.-HOUsewife.

An Electric Ghost.

A story which, whether true or not, is at
all events "well found" is told in New
York paper. A contractor, under the stress
of financial tightness, sold a house very
much under its value. Puzzling his wits
to recover his property, he hit on the idea
of working on the superstitious fears of
the new owner. Every night the purchaser
heard wrappings and other strange noises,
but the tenants were not disturbed. The
noises had at last such an effect on the
nerves of the frantic owner that he was in
the act of dashing himself from the roof
to the ground in fit of insanity when
some of the ncighbors came on the scene
and prevented him.
An examination of the building resulted
in the finding of an electrical knOcker,
which had been hung over the roof and
made available for operation on any de-
sired point This was the DOGGY which
had driven the new owner out of his wits,
and the contractor, on being confronted
with the facts, confessed that be had
adopted this method of frightening him
into giving up the property.

THE NEWSPAPER OF TODAY.
The Heper of Religion, Science, Educa-
ton and All Good Works.

,ion and All Good Works.
No publisher or editor pretends that he
risks his capital, gives time, labor, thought
and care to the making of a newspaper
for charity's sake. He publishes his jour
nal as the book publisher publishes his
book-for profit as a means of living or
making fortune. Publishing n newspaper
is strictly business, though there is no
other business on the face of the earth Of
which philanthropy and patriotism are SO
large part.
The newspaper is the helper of the
church and the school, of religion, science,
literature, art, industry, agriculture-of
everything which concerns the good of So
ciety and the state. 1t is the very prop and
stay of charity and public spirit; the most
potent enemy of public wrong or injus-
tice; and it must be so necessarily, as il is
but public sentiment reflected in type. The
newspaper depends for its success upon
popular favor, and the aim of every one
connected with it is that of winningpopuiar
favor by running upon parallel lines with
public morality. To say that the news
paper is published for money is to say no
harm of it,
1t has passed into a universal maxim
that "the church lives by the altar"-by
the contributions which the faithful lay
upon the altar. And it is true, and it is not
discreditable. The newspaper press is gen.
orally as high in morals and intelligence as
the public conscience and mind; higher
than that it can never be permanently, as
it must be what society demands it shall
be. As matter of fact, it frequently runs
ahead, temporarily, of public morality; it
often creates the public sentiment that de-
strOys public wrongs; it often secures JUS
tice by proclaiming the injustice.
The press is not without its faults, but
venaiity or untruth for moneys sake is not
one OF Shem. It's worst fault is its parti-
san prejudice, its inability TO perceive that
the newspaper that serves its country best
serves its party best. 1t does not lie for
pelf, but it does for political eXpeGiency's
sake too often fail to recognize the trutL.
1t is not unclean for moneys sake, nor SEN
satiCnal for profits sake, though it may
too often blunder into the mire or into
senSationalism through want of good judg-
ment. The press of the United States
and we speak, of course, of that great
body of reputable newspapers which really
constitute the press-is just what readers
of high or average intelligence and morals
make it, and it rises day by day to higher
planes of intelligence and morality.
To make the best, the truthfulest, the
cleanest newspaper, all other things being
equal, is to make the most profitable one.
That is the experience of every publisher
and responsible editor of great and pc
cunarily successful public journal The
press will always have its adverse critics,
who if run to earth will be found TO be
some unworthy, discarded members of it,
