Don't Do That.

Never call on people just at bedtime, or
during dinner or before they are down
stairs in the morning.
Never stop people who are hurrying along
the street and detain them for ten or
twenty minutes.
Never, when you see two people engaged
in earnest talk, step in and enter upon
miscellaneous conversation.
Never begin to talk about this, that and
everything" TO one who is trying to read
the morning paper or book or anything
else.
Never fail TO keep an appointment
Never inconvenience people by coming in
late at church, theatre, lecture or concert.
Never delay in answering letters or re-
turning books.
Never tell long stories of which you your
self are the hero.
Never speak Unexpectedly Of your par
ents nor of your sisters. People may
laugh at your wit, but they will despise
you for it.
Never talk when others are singing or
doing anything else for your amusement,
and never the instant they have finished
begin to talk upon different topic.-New

Young 3Ieu Scarce.

The cry which comes up from the
watering places is as regularly associat-
cd with this season in the public mind
as cucumbers, ice cream and russell
leather shoes. 1t il worth noting, how
ever. that the wall this year is more deep
and heartfelt than it has been for many
seasons past. If things 90 on at the
present rate before long the government
will be imporru1ed TO take a hand in
supplying the summer resorts with
young men. Their scarcity bids fair to
rank as public grievance. Some Of the
published lists Of the entertainments
given Ut the watering places are curious
ly suggestive.
In one dispatch from Narragansett,
for instance, on Sunday the details Of
delightful i1npronptu picnic were
given. A list Of the guests was append
ed. There were four young men and
twenty-seven young women. At an in
formal dance in Newport on the same
day it was said that for the first time in
the history Of that famous watering
place girls danced with one another since
there were not enough men 10 60 around.
Such condition Of things a. this at
Newport Is absolutely unprecedented. 1t
is not difficult 10 find out where the
young men are by the way. They are
grinding away in New York, and a can
did and UnprejGdlced survey Of the field
gives the impression that IN view Of al
the circumstances they are doing pretty

ELECTRIC LIGHT MATTERS.

The air has been full of rumors for
week past as to what was going to be
done with reference to electric lights
and what wasn't The situation seems
to be about this Mr.. Wells, the Sandy
Hill man with whom the trustees con-
tracted for lights, hearing that Mr.
Peck intended putting IN lighting
plant, too, became somewhat alarmed,
and, inasmuch as he proposed to invest a
large amount of money here, thought it
might be best to wait a little and see
what would turn up. He therefore de-
layed moving his family here and neither
he nor they have yet come. Mr.. Oliver
Severance and Others of the gentlemen
in town who are directly interested in
the matter are perfectly certain that Mr..
Wells fully intends to come; but they
say that even if he doesn't the Thomson
Houston people will carry out the con-
tract and light the town. Two or three
carloads of the poles ordered by Mr..
Wells are at the depot here.
Mr.. Peck and some of his friends had
meeting Monday night, and. it is un-
derstood, perfected plans for the organ
iZatiOn of a company 10 use Mr.. Peck S
and other powers for driving an electric
plant; but it is said to have been agreed
that the company was not to be formed
and nothing was to be done provided the
company to whom the village contract
was let carried out that contract. Mr.
Peck and outside parties may, however
go on and put in plant anyway.
