though to me it seems natural that up
on most occasions the left arm should
be given to lady. The old, chiyalric
spirit of leaving the right arm free sor
defense is a custom which ought still To
be maintained.
1t is frequently necessary to intro
duce a gentleman to the lady whom he
is to escort to the table, and at small
dinner-parties the envelope containing
names Of those who are to sit side by
side is omitted. In that case word
from the host to 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 whF all who as
semble at the same time and place
should not know each other Intimacy
is another and a different thing but
christian courtesy teaches that intro
auctions are incumbent on those who
would entertain at their best. 49, George

"sLoYp.n
A System of Manual Training Now Being
Taught in This Country.

The word "sloyd" has been seen in
print more or less of late years in
magazines as well as newspapers, SAYS
the Boston Transcript and always in
connection with the vital question OF
manual training aud its introduction
into the public schools. 1t is an
anglicized form OF the Swedish slojd,
meaning dexterity or manual skill
Compare Morse word slogd, cunning;
English sly.) Of late, however the
word has been restricted in its use to
denote a system of manual training
of which the best known is the So
called Mas system, adopted some
fifteen years ago IN Sweden.
When this system was adopted at
Mas it was new only as a whole The
details had been worked out and
proved to be beneficial by different
persons at different times and in differ
emit countries, but not until then had
they been collected and made into a
systematic whole. The material used
is wood, found, by experiment, to be
the cleauest and easiest to wOrk-a
most profitable selection, as with
proper loOtN IL eau NC W OAhCU lHJO an
shape and form.
The purpose of the sloyd instruction
IS Dy no means only to give general
skill to the hand but also TO stimulate
and broaden the mind and to excite a
love and respect for all honest work; it
is to be looked upon as educational, a
thing which viii help us all and gener-
atoms to come to be more fully and
evenly developed.
On the value of the various systems
there is much dissent; but all be-
levers in manual training agree to the
following principles, The work must,
/. Interest the pupil. 2. Give use
sui articles as a product. 3. Promote
general deXteritv. 4. Develop the
sense and love of order and exactness.
5. Encourage cleanliness and neatness.
6. Take into consideration the ability
and strength of the pupil 7. Cultivate
the esthetic sense. s. Develop and
strengthen tie body. 8. Counterfeit
sedentary occupations. 10. Progress
methodically. II. Train the percep-
ton 1nd develop the constructive and
inventive faculties. y. Cultivate at
tention diligence, and perseverance.
These qualities the sloyd will be found
to supply more fully than any other
system, while it is better calculated to
secure a symmetrical development OF
mind and body.

Broke the Toilet Set.

A lady staying short time at one
of the hotels recently had the i'll luck
to break a soap dish of valuable toilet
set, says the st. Louis StQr-S Sayings.
The proprietor said the set was quite
valuable, aud that, as it would be
difficult to match the set in the matter
of soap dish he would have to CON
slider the whole set destroyed and
charge her for it. The price he put
upon it was somewhere in the neMh-
borhood Of $50. The lady was llustered
somewhat. but as she had the means
she paid the money and went back to
her room. Shortly after her ar
rival there a servant rushed down to
the clerk and said that either the lady
was crazy or was being murdered in
her room, and clerk and a couple OF
porters dashed upstairs As they
nearcd the room they heard a series Of
crashes, and they burst in the door to
find the lady standing amid a heap Of
broken china surveying with much
pleasure the ruin she had wrought.
When asked for an explanation she
said she had paid for the set, and as
she had no use for it at home She
thought she'd have some fun with it.
The proprietor will not be so much "on
the charge hereafter.

HOW GRANT POPPED THE QUESTION.
A Pretty Romance Connected with the
Great Generars Engagement.

A striking incident in the life of Gen.
Grant was mentioned by an intimate
friend. 1t related TO the delicate sub
ject of how the General popped the
question. Those who knew General
Grant intimately can imagine how be
could storm rampant, charge a bat
terry Of artillery, or lead forlorn hope
i'm battle easier than he could ask for
the hand of the woman he loved. The
occasion when tie young Lieutenant
In the army and Julia Dent plighted
their troth was not one of those ideal
moonlight nights nor were the stars
twinkling over lovers signs, bat On
dark, stormy night in the woods of
Missouri. The Lieutenant was visiting
his army comrade and former class
mate Fred Dent. He had driven into
town in buggy with his comrades
sister. The young people were on
their way home. The darkness had
oyertaken them. The rain had fallen
in torrents and the roads were axle
deep with mud. The lightning flashed
and the thunder pealed out of the
blackness of night which followed. A

in their way. As they reached the
dangerous spot sudden flash of cleo
trio light revealed the terrors of the
flood and the dangers of the bridge.
In an instant, ayaiing himself of this
moment OF light, the brave young Off
Ger urged the good steed upor the
quivering doorway. A dreadful burst
OF thunder shook the very foundations
of the earth. The young maiden, who
had thus far bravely faced the terrors
of the situation, stunned by the tre-
mendous crash, grasped the unmoyed
Lieutenant by her side with ailrighted
force. The bridge now began to yield
to the undermining action OF the rag
ing torrent. AS it seemed to sink away
the maid exclaimed in her fears. 30,
we are lost NO, Julia, came "a
tender reply from the heart full of
emotion which beat in that brave
young breast. Nothing shall happen
to YOU, / shall take care of YOU"
Another flash in timely succession re-
yealed the terrible situation, but one
iudicious stimulation of the powerful
steed brought the Lieutenant and his
hearts treasure once more upon the
solid ground Of the other side as the
plankwag of the bridge moved away in
the surging flood. Rescued from a sit
uatiOn so perilous was the occasion
for a thoughtful silence. The storm
beaten lovers pushed on their trying
way through mud and rain and wind
Soon out of the darkness came a
voice, Julia, were you frightened?'
"What a terrible night it ISL said the
maiden in reply. Il would always
like to care for you and protect you

innocence of her girlish heart was the
answer. -Pbttadeipbjq Inquirer.
