"Japan has long been recognized as

Hottentot fashion, has upset the

Social Etiquette.

A writer upon etiquette whose sug
gestions are characterized by good
sense that must always render them
valuable, gives a warning against
s'talking shop particularly dis
agreeable custom. He thinks there
are few things that display worse
taste than the introduction of profess
sional topic in general conversations.
Who, he asked, has not felt this on
being compelled to listen to musty
clerical jokes college slang and an
ecdotes Invested of all interest beyond
the atmosphere of a university, or
CLAW jokes and "good stories of
learned COUNSEL" ''long yarns" or
the tiresome muster roll of tour reg
iment,' etc?
All such exclusive topics are signs
either of a limited intellect or the
most lamentable ignorance. They are
signs, too, of exceedingly bad breed
ing; for the introduction of topic
on which no one can discourse but
the speaker necessarily chokes out
the life of q conversation, and for
the lively talk of the many substitutes
a dreary monologue. They imply an
almost supernatural egotism, as if
the speaker believed that all the world
must perforce be interested in what
ever concerns him. Needless to say
that these remarks do not apply to
the case of an acknowledged "expert"
whose opinions have been invited on
the questions that of right fall within
his special province.
AS a rule, society cares nothing
for the individual; and there can
be no greater error than for a man
to put forward in conversation his in
vidual tastes, opinions, views: unless
he has attainted to position that
entities him to speak as one having
authority. And even then what he
says should be general in tone and
application, with as little allusion as
possible to himself. Nor should he
suffer his remarks to assume the
form aud proportions of an grafton,
lest his hearers, in spite of them
selves, betray their wearines. A ST.
Paul may preach, and yet Eutychus
fall asleep!

The Poisonous OLEANDER.-The
oleander with its beautiful rose COL
ored flowers is plant frequently
cultivated, but there are not very
many who know that the oleander be-.
longs to the poisonous plants. 1t is
well to remember, when cultivating
it as house plant, that under some
conditions it is very noxious. Pllny
said of the oleander, that it was pols-
onous, and later discoveries have
confirmed this. In Madrid, few
years since, there was q case of poIs-
oning by eating birds broiled on OLE
ander leaves. In the south of Italy
and Spain, the scraped rind of the
tree is used as a rat poison and to
drive away noxious insects. In both
countries the localities where olean-
ders grow is generally malarious. In
northern Africa, where they lend a
special charm to the scenery along
the banks of rivers, they are not suf-
fered to grow near human habitations,
and in this respect are really boycott
ted. 1t is remarkable that even bees
avoid the oleander.

The Longest Day.

1t is quite important when speak
ing of the longest day in the year to
say what part of the world we are
talking about, as will be seen by
reading the following list, which tells
the length of the longest day in sew
eral places. How unfortunate are
the children in Tornea, Finland,
where Christmas Day is less than
three hours in length.
At Stockholm, Sweden, it is eight
cen and one-half hours in length.
At Spitzbergen the longest day is
three and one-half months.
At London, England, and Bremen,
Prussia, the longest day has sixteen
ond one-half hours.
At Hamburg, in Germany, and
Dantzic, in Prussia, the longest day
has seventeen hours.
At Wadbury, Norway, the long
est day lasts from May 81 to July p,
without interruption.
At St. Petersburg, Russia and To-
bolsk, Siberia, the longest day is
nineteen hours, and the shortest five
hours.
At Tornea, Finland, June 2lst
brings a day nearly twenty-five hours
long, and Christmas one less than

At New York the longest day is

People ask why the world isn't bet
ter; why there isn't more charity
and love extant than we find therein !!
The reason is plain. There are too
many in the world who will not cast
their bread upon the waters unless
they are assured beforehand that it
will come back in few days a full
grown sandwich all trimmed with
ham, butter and mustard. Too
many people do not extend the same
charity and forbearance to others
they expect to receive. In short,
consistency is the wonderful pana-
cea that will go far toward solving
the most intricate problems of hu'
man life.

Modern Literary Chances.

The aspirant for literary remuner-
alton should remember that the most
famous names in the literary guild
earned their most part in other than
literary ways. Bryant was an editor
and publisher. Longfellow and
Holmes and Lowell were Harvard
professors. Emerson and Bavard
TAYLOR were lecturers, and Taylor
was also a Tribune editor. Curtis
and Stoddard depend upon editorial
salaries Stedman is broker, and
Halleck was John Jacob Astor's
private secretary. And one might
go farther with this list. Whittier
began as an editor, and only in mid
die life attempted to lean on litera-
ture alone for a support which early
savings and simple habits made pos
sible.
1t was always Longfellow's advice
to young men who wished to be lit
erary to have first, and mainly, vo-
cation independent of finer muse. If
a young writer thinks he possesses
genius he may of course experiment
with it, but it will serve his purse and
his peace of mind better to secure
some source of labor and income that
is more philistine and worldly, and
ride his Pegasus only at inspired in
intervals. For it is a fact, in spite
of the occasional big figures that are
given as the result of literary work,
that the men who prosper or have
prospered by that alone are only, at
any one time, few dozen in number
among our sixty-five millions of peo-
ple.-Lddies' Home Journal.
