The swinish propensities of To hui
man race are confined TO no national
ity, sect or-eolor. 1 have met with
them in England, France and Germany
quite az often as in America. Indeed,
1 am far from ure that, take him With
all his faults, the American has not a
larger share of the generous virtues
than the man of any other country. 1
remember once returning from an ex-
tended tour abroad, during which 1 had
seen women sickened with cigarette
smoke In close railway carriages; stand
ing on the decks of the Rhine steamers
while their welded lords enjoyed the
scenery and the Baier-bier on the few
chair in sight, and wading through seas
of mud at street crossings, while a gal
liant Gaul, perched on the only dry
spot, barred his head in Difference to
their sex as they passed by.
The day l landed in New York 1 rode
once down and up Broadway in an ON
nibus TO see how the city had changed
in my absence. The street was in a
vile condition, as usual. Next me sat
an elderly woman of the middle class,
fCAJ BAaAAIg Dot AtolCGNiDig CAah ohV
was evidently n visitor from out Of
town and when the stage stopped for
her to alight at her destination she
looked timidIy this way and that, as If
fearful she might lose her footing on
the slippery stone pavements and be
run down in the crush of moving We
hicles.
In an instant a young man who had
been reading his newspaper sprang up,
nlighted, held open the door and helped
the bic woman down, escorted her to
the sidewalk in safety, ran after the
stage and caught it, jumped aboard
again and resumed his reading as if he
had done only the most natural thing
In the world. A thrill went through
me as l felt that L was once more in the
country where even though polish of
manner was sometimes lacking the real
essence of p~oliteness was deeply seated
in the national heart. oh, yes, we do
have the great human hog here-no-
body denies that-but he's the rare e1
ception, not the rule.-Kate Fields

OF bluff old Gilman Marston, who
died in New Hampshire, these stories
are told: He was badly wounded in
the arm ut Bull Run, but refused to
have the member amputated, though
the surgeons told him his life depended
upon that operation. He insisted upon
being placed upon his horse, and was
led to the front amid cheers from the
boys of his regiment. He once re
fused to allow his troops to board an
overloaded transport because he had
brought these men from New Hamp-
to fight, not to be drowned The or.
ders Of a tyrannical superior to build a
guard house without so much as a
crack in it he obeyed literally, solid
logs being 50 used that there was not

under a terrible fire of shot and shell

SAN Francisco. Sept. l6.-The
schooner Lewis arrived today from the far
North with 2 500 sealskins and the survi-
vors OF the crew of the G. @. White, who
were lost in the fog on Aug. I when sixty
miles from Copper Island. She picked
up three boats and eleven of the crew
of the White. who lost their vessel
in a fog and had ben five days in
boats. Raymou. one survivor, told a
thrilling story of how they were fred upon
by unseen enemies on Copper Island and
three killed. He said they spent the first
night in an uninhabited part of Copper
Island. In the morning when rowing
around the island to reach a settlement
they suddenly heard reports and bullets
whizzed near them. He continued:
In our boat were myself, Kerr and
jackson. When the volley was fired the
fog was 50 dense we could hardly see the
shore. Our assailants were hidden behind
the cliffs and we could not tell how many
they numbered. Jackson received n
wound in the leg. Then Kerr vas shot
In the breast and a second afterward /
was also shot in the breast. Kerr died
in two hours, but Jackson and l re-
covered.
Raymon thought Aleuts did the firing,
but Others say they think the Russian
GARRISON stationed there to keep OF seal
poachers committed the outrage. Six
other men who were picked up by the
steamer Karluck arrived here Monday.

large. hollow cylinder like a drum is
erected, and within it are inclosed the
prayers that any one may wish to offer,

then made to revolve by wind or water

equivalent to a verbal repetition of all
the prayers it contains. Chatter.

Merely a low price is not an evidence Of
cheapness in merchandise, and quotations
of clothing prices are of all things most
deceptive, We do not keep what is called
cheap" clothing. We always have some
garments for mep and boys at low prices;
but we get them by marking down the
broken lots and slow selling lots of good
quality. These bargain garments adver-
tise themselves. fyou want a serviceable
Overcoat, Suit or odd Coat, Vest or pair
of Trousers for very little money, we can
usually supply much better value than
the price asked would buy in the regular
way. Most people, however, want the

rightly-made garments are intended
to supplant the custom work. Therefore

Better than Children.

Almost every driver Of q brick OF
dirt team passing through the streets
sits with his head down and lets his
team take their own sweet will, know
ing they are big enough to run over
everything but street-car. On a dir:
team going up Cass avenue the other
day. says the Detroit Free Press, the
driver seemed to be asleep, but this
was only q sham. He was figuring on
how many teams ne could make crowd
the curbstone to get past him. Woman
scolded and men swore. but he gave
no heed. At length one-horse wagon
came along loaded with dry wood
ashes. The teamster saw it afar of
and made for it to run it upon the side
walk. The other driver saw through
the scheme and as. the vehicle ap-
preached he wheeled across the course
of the team, jammcd the two horses to-
gether so that they tturned sharp and
upset the wagon, and at the right mo-
ment he worked his shovel and let the
gale sweep off bushel or so Of ashes
over the other rig.
1t was q grand success. The olrt
wagon was broken, its load dumped on
the street, the driver gotta scalp wound.
and the horses broke the harness al to
pieces before thcr stopped kicking. IN
edition everything was white with

Dinner Dresses, Escorts and Intro.
ductionS.

Ladies attend dinner-parties in
trained dresses and waists either
decollete or with square or pointed
fronts. a maid is always in attend
ancc in the dressing-room for the
ladies' on the second floor. Before the
gentlemen leave their dressing-room
the servant in charge gives to each an
envelope containing card on which is
written, under his own name, that OF
the laGy whom he is designated to cs.
cort to the table. at the door Of
the ladies' dressing-room he meets the
lady who has accompanied him to the
house, and both descend to the draw
ing-room. In passing down the stair
case the gentleman either takes the
side next the balustrade or precedes
the lady. Gentleman do not wear
gloves, but full dress is always con.
sidcrcd necessary, the only variation
being, if the gentleman is in mourning,
ne wears black instead of white neck
tie.
Meanwhile host and hostess waft
near the door of the drawing-room in
order to welcome the coming guests.
In entering this room or the->di1ing.
room, the lady may take either the
left arm of her escort or on the right,
though to me it seems natural that up
on most occasions the left arm should
be given to lady. The old, chivalric
spirit OF leaving the right arm free for
defense is custom which ought still to
be maintained.
It is frequently necessary to intro
duce gentleman to the lady whom he
is to escort to the table, and at small
dinner-parties the envelope containing
names of chose who are to sit side by
side is omitted. In that case y word
from the hcss 20 each gentleman Is
sufficient.
The custom of roof introductions,
as they are termed, has been Instituted
in this country, but to my mind they
are an inadequate species of hospitality
There is no reason why all who as
semble at the same time and place
should NOT know each other. Intimacy
is another and different thing but
christian courtesy teaches that intro
ductions are incumbent on those who
would entertain at their best.-George
W. Childs in Good Housekeeping.
