On Talking Slang.

This "sermonette" is especially for
YOU, dear girls. The advice could be
put in three words-don't 40 1t. Pos-
sibly there might come an OCCASION,
say once in life-time-w hen good
round bit of the genuine article
"slang" would prove funny. But to
hear vulgar words used by a little girl
is almost invariably shocking. l re-
member passing two girls in the street,
and hearing one of them say, "Ill bet
YOU quarter" 1t gave me shlver;
And when q group of school girls Ill
their conversation-as alas they often
do with one slang phrase after anoth-
er. the effect on an outsider is painful
ly disagreeable. The habit of talking
slang grows rapidly. 1t is like report
ing a bit of scandal. Have you never
noticed if you say All unkind word
against q neighbor, how quickly a
chance comes TO say another? And
with just the same appalling ease a
habit of using careless coarse words IN
creases. Weeds grow rapidly. Ihere
is plenty of good strong English TO
rive expression to wit, drollery, indlg-
nation. or sympathy, without recourse
to the phrases which belong to horse
Jockeys, gamplers, tipplers and vaga-
bonds. The street Arab picks up slang
as he does the ends of old cigars from
the gutter. Surely a well-bred girl is
not on the same level in her speech
and manner. Why should she use
vulgar words any more than she would
stain her hands? There ought to he
something akin to flowers III a fresh
young girl. She need not be prudish
or priggish. No one wishes her to say
'prunes and prisms" to coax her lips
into the proper curves. But refined
and dainty in speech as well asin dress
she surely ought to he. Won't you
please think about it for five minutes
and see if you do not agree with me:

Hints for Travellers.

Take One-fourth more money than
your estimated expenses.
Acquaint yourself with the geOgra-
ply of the route and region Of travel.
Have good sugply of small change,
and no bill or piece higher than ten
dollars, that you may not take coun-
terteit change.
So arrange as to have but single az
ticle of luggage to look after.
Dress substantially. Better be too
hot for two or three hours at noon than
TO be cool for the remainder OF the
twenty-four.
Arrange, under all circumstances, to
be at the place of starting fifteen or
twenty minutes before the time, thus
allowing for unavoidable or unantici-
pated detention on the way.
Do not commence days travel be-
fore breakfast, even if it has to be eat
Ell at daylight. Dinner or supper, or
both, can be more healthily dispensed
with than good warm breakfast.
Put your purse and watch in your
vest pocket and all under your pillow
and you will not be likely to leave
either.
The best if not entirely secure fas.
teuings of your chamber door is a bolt
on the inside; if there is none on
lock the door, turn the key so that il
can be drawn partly out, and put the
wash basin under it; thus any attempt
to use Il jimmy, or another key, will
push it out and cause racket among
the crockery which will he pretty sure

How WE Look AT THINGs.-Iou
and l see everything to some extent
differently. You see things from the
standpoint of your previously acquired
groups of ideas; from mine. Strict
ly, no two persons can see the same
way, for it can never happen that two
persons have precisely the same groups
of ideas relating TO any subject. These
depend Oh our past experience, on our
education, on the beliefs of our times,
on our various sects or parties, OH our
pat theories, our interests and our de-
sires. Here is simple illustration.
Suppose an artist and an engineer,
standing side by side overlooking Il
tract of country. What they perceive
is the same; what they apperceive is
wholly different. TO the engineer the
country presents itself as u possible
line for railroad, with here advanta-
geous grades and there economic
bridges. Before the artist is spread
out a landscape, with light and shade
and harmony of colors. Suppose again
Il plat of level ground in the suburbs
of a city. A college student riding by
apperceives it as possible ball ground /;
a young girl, as tennis-coUrt spec
ulator, as an addition for town lots an
undertaken, perhaps, as a possible site
for cemetery.
