Chinese Etiquette.
1t is a gross breach Of etiquette for
a Chinaman to wear eyeglasses or
spectacles in company, and it is
equally impolite to enter a room with
the hat off. A gentleman of the Ce-
lestial kingdom always remains COW
cred to show his respect.
The Power of the Shoe.
If you are going abroad, turn a deaf
ear to the travellers who know it all
and assure you that wise virgins and
thrifty take old boots to wear on the
steamer. Never for a moment believe
in that delusion, for it is a delusion OF
the basest sort. Have you a single
spark of vanity? Then carry your
on, too, for never will they be dis
played to better advantage. When
the stormy winds do blow and whisk

upon susceptible hearts as you take
your morning stroll along the hurri-

other delightful promenades which
people take or shipboard? With earls
and dukes always crossing, it is a
chance not to be lost,

When a Woman Is Well Dressed.
The general woman is the woman
you know and | know, you like and |
like. She has wit and sense enough
to realize that the most expensive
fashions are often the key note to the
development of pretty coats and
frocks in less costly fabrics. Ii she is
wise she will study out the colors
and st1ffs that suit her best.
She wM buy each frock and
gown with the thought to that
which is already in her wardrobe,
and in this way will avoid innarmon-
ious effects. Gowns, gloves and hats
in harmony are what, after all, make
a well dressed NJ They need
not absolutely match, but not a color

Breathe Through the Nose.
DIR. Scanes Spicer, of London, in a
recent paper read before the Odonto-
logical society, remarked upon the
frequency with which he had
found carious teeth associated with
obstruction of the pharynx and
enlarged tonsils; so much so that he
had made it a routine practice to ex-
anime the teeth in all cases of nasal
obstruction, and he believed that
there existed a relation between
them; and he further is of opinion
that there is a generic relation be-
tween some cases of vaulted arch,
narrow jaws, and irregular teeth and
nasal obstruction. Normally we
should breathe through the nose, SO
as TO warm and filter the air respireds
All animals. savage races and young
infants do SO; but a large number Of
adults of civilized nations breathe
through the mouth, because they
have some obstruction of the
nasal passages, erectile tumors,
permanent catarrhal affections, poly
pi, post-nasal adenoid growths, etc.
Mouth breathing, he said, as a predis-
posing cause of carries of the teeth,
came into action in various
ways. The teeth were exposed to
a current of air of a much lower tenn

appearance in grand opera at Covent
Garden during the season.
The Science of making Eyes,
