Good Form in Addressing a Lady.

Good Form in Addressing . Lady.
4 lady who has not been married and is
no longer young should be addressed and
mentioned by every one, except her house
hold, with the prefix of Miss" before her
name, even though the number of daugh-
ters IN her family makes it necessary for
the sake of detiniteness TO include her
baptismal name also when mentioning her.
To use first name when conversing with
an elderly unmarried woman is in bad
form. Had the fine old custom been re-
tanned of addressing matrons and all IN
welded women who were no longer youth
fri as Mistress -, speech with them
would be far more elegant than It is-Mrs..
as a word, meaning nothing.
In notes and speech, a young unmarried
lady is addressed as Miss - by gentle
men, mere acquaintance and servants,
but her own family and kinsfolks, also her
intimate friends, call her by the name
which was given to her at baptism, and it
is not considered in good form to speak to
or of her otherwise. The use of Miss" by
her own circle leaves no distinctive method
by which remoter persons may speak to or
of young girl. This formality may be
criticised, but, according to the social
etiquette of New York, it is the usage of
tbs very best society and has an excellent
reason underlying it.
For dear woman friend to speak to, or
indeed of, young lady by any but her first
name, except to a social inferior, would be
inelegant for the reason already given

Hunger and Disease.

It is well known fact that hunger pre-
disposes 20 certain diseases, says The Med
ical Press, but it has been reserved to two
Turin doctors to demonstrate the in
creased liability experimentally. Their OBJ
seryations were carried out with the virus
of bacillus anthrax on pigeons, a disease to
which these birds are, under ordinary cir
cumstances, refractory. They found, how
ever. that six days total deprivation of
food rendered the birds emenable to the
virus. on condition that food was still
withheld. If, however, food was given at
ghe Same time as the virus then they still
successfully resisted infection. Further,
when starvation was continued for two
days alter the incubation, ard food then
given, thu development Of the disease,
though not prevented, ran a slower course.
Lastly, the virus proved capable of inject
ing birds well fed up to the date of inocu-
lation, but starved subsequently. The
line of investigation is evidently one which
admits Of further research, but the moral
is obvious.

A Child's Imagination.

1t Is not difficult to turn child's atten-
ton in any direction, and he quickly
catches the spirit of those around him. If
his imagination is quickened and strength
ened by frequent representations of the
feelings, thoughts and conditions of others,
his sympathies will be constantly aroused,
and his impulses will become kind and
generous. If, however, be is suffered to
grow up without these delicate perceptions,
who can wonder that his sympathies are
dull, his benevolent impulses weak, and
that, instead Of developing into a noble
and generous manhood, he sinks into
stolid snd unimaginative SELF sbsorption'

ETHER DRINKING.
4 New Form of Iatoxication and Its
Effects Upon the SYsten.

- re" 1cTlIt Oh A1tOAiCItADu Ats
Effects Upon the System.
A curious habit now attracting attention
in Ireland is that Of ether drinking. Ac-
cordins to statistics recently commented
upon by DR.. Henry Conkling in the Brook
lyn Medical Journal the habit is OF late
years on tie increase The ether is sold to
the consumers in groceries. taverns and
public houses, selling for two cents Omitted
States money! for two drains. Its very
small cost enables the dose to be frequent
ly repeated. From two drains TO half an
ounce is the amount usually drunk; and
this Is repeated from two to six times dur
ing the day, depending on the personal
habits. One or two cases OF confirmed
drinkers are mentioned where one pint of
ether was generally used, when on a de-
bauch, in divided doses.
The amount that produces intoxication
depends on the individual. The ether is
drunk in a single swallow, sometimes di
luted, and again taken pure. The intoxi-
eating effects are quickly produced, and
quickly pass away. 1t is possible, there
fore, for an habitue to become into xicated
many times in a short period.
A small dose causes q feeling of e1-
hilaration, the drinker laughing. dancing,
3lQ DelDg quite WIN III HIS tUONcllculS. IL
the small dose be no. exceeded, there is no
period of marked depression following the
stimulation, but in larger quantities a
state of stupor is frequently present, and
as the effect passes away feeling OF
weakness is left. Mania is a marked
feature very commonly presented, the
drinkers often becoming very violent.
In ether drinkers who have continuously
consumed large quantities train of nerv-
Gus and circulatory disturbances is gen.
orally present. Emaciation has been OBJ
served in certain cases, and occasionally
the skin is of cyanotic hue. The more
moderate drinkers generally suffer from
various forms of stomach troubles. In all
cases there has been observed a marked
change in the way of deterioration in the
moral character. 1t is interesting to OBJ
serve how common the use of ether as an
intoxicant must be in the districts in
vestigated, when the public conveyances
are frequently impregnated with its odor.
