THE GENTLEMAN.
Some of the Filings He Docs and Some
 That He Docs Not Do.

From the Baltimore Sum
 Of all the standards of gentility that have been SC. that one is the narrowest and most ungentlemanly that assumes violence of action or language to be necessary as a sign of authority or means of resentment. The late Cardinal Newman in one of his scholarly discourses addressed himself to the task of giving a true and clear ''defini- ton of a gentleman" In the very outset he says ''it is almost a definition of a gen tleman to say that he is one who never in fiicts pain" This does not imply that 8 gentleman is necessarily an imbecile, for he can be as brilliant in speech and vigorous in action as the most irresistible statesman or warrior, and all without giving pain; on the contrary, he may be all this and yet give only pleasure. But Cardinal New mau elaborates the idea more appropriate ly in these words: 'sThe true gentlen an carefully avoids whatever may cause jar or jolt in the mind of those with whom he is cast-all clashing of opinion or collision of feeling, all restraint suspicion, or gloom or resentment, his great concern being to make every one at ease and at home. He has his eyes on all his compa- ny, he is tender toward the bashful, gen tie toward the distant and merciful to- ward the absurd. He can recollect to whom he is speaking; he guards against unreasonable allusions or topics which may irritate; he is seldom prominent in conversation and never wearisome. He makes light of favors when he does them, and seems to be receiving when he is con ferring. He never speaks of himself ex- cept when compelled, never defends him self by a here retort; he has no ears for islander or gossip, is scrupulous in impu- ting motives to those who interfere with him., and interprets everything for the best. He is never mean or little in his disputes, never takes unfair advantage, never mistakes personalities or sharp say | ings for arguments, or insinuates evil | which he dare not say out"

of the affairs of state it has been her en- couragement and persistence that have kept him to the point.
 Prince Albert of Prussia, at present Re- gent of Brunswick, issued an order recent ly which has caused considerable comment in educational and theatrical circles in Germany Henceforth the royal theater of Brunswick is to "stage" certain mum ber of classical pieces each month for the benefit of the scholars of the various schools and of the students of the colleges. The price of admission is to be very small in all cases. Those young men who are unable to pay the stipulated price are ad- mitted free. The new theatrical course," as it is called, will begin this month with six pieces from Shakespeare. They will be followed by the best works of Goethe and Schiller. The prince hopes to create taste for good literature in this way.

SOME OF JACK TAR,s PETS.
Animals, Wild and Tame, That Sail
 the ocean Hue.


 the ocean Blue.
 From the New York Sun
 Among the many queer phases of a sail or's nature none is more characteristic than those which impel his affection to- ward any animal that will permit itself to be carried with him to sea. His pets are confined to no exclusive class, though he mostly inclines to some domesticated crea- ture that suggests the land of his own na- tivity. Traditional romance pictures the apprentice lad returning captain bearded like a bushranger and swearing strange oaths, his cabin stored with grotesque eu- riosities from foreign shores for wife, sweetheart or friend. Modern actuality has made him more commonplace, and he is fully contented to come back with sufi- cient wages to put in good time at the home station. His pet has been that of the whole ship, and he is satisfied to ren- der homage to it alone.
 The most interesting ships favorites are found on men-o'war. When the cruiser Baltimore left New York as 6 funeral barge she carried well-known navy pet who was entered in the shipping papers as 'fWilliam Goat; occupation, mascot" Mir. Goat was originally MT. Kid, and as such was picked up in foreign port by the old Galena- This was four or five years ago, but even then he exhibited traits which have since developed into something like actual intelligence. As he grew older he became 30 particular upon certain points of naval etiquette that whenever it was thought good to take him ashore he would stubbornly refuse to go in any save eer- tain cutter. So great was his attachment to the Galena that when, a few months ago, it was decided to transfer him to the Baltimore, the operation was accomplished only by main force. He soon became &C., climated in his new quarters, however, and in a short time had developed a won derful fondness for attending each divine service held aboard. He listens with great gravity to the words of the chap lain, and after the sermon is concluded goes among the sailors begging for a chew of tobacco to relieve his agitated con science The tobacco is readily obtained, and he masticates it with proficiency that is found only in seagoing society. He has never been known to be seasick, and in the habits above mentioned finds his chief solace for abandoning life ashore.

Ee Sheds His Skin and Gets a New O,tft

where man every July shed his skin. He
was taken with feverish tremors. increas-

lay down, and within Few minutes the
skin of the chest began to turn red. The
redness rapidly extended over the entire
skin, and the feverish tremors continued
uninterrupted for about twelve bours
Then he arose, dressed and walked about
in perfect health. The skin now COM
menced to peel, and ten hours later il be-
gan TO come off in great patches. From the
arms and legs it could be pulled off exactly
like gloves or stockings. AS the old skin
came away a new epidermis, as soft and
pink as baby's, was revealed. This new
skin was very sensitive; the patient had to
wear softened gloves and moccasins for
about weeE. After the old cuticle had
been entirely removed the finger and toe
nails began to drop off-new nails literally
crowding them out. Finally the change
was complete; the man had a new skin aud
new outfit of nails, and was ready to re-
turn to the mines. The shedding began In
his first year and required every july there
after. The New York Medical Record is
quoted as authority for the foregoing.

A DAY IN AN ENGLISH HOUSEHOLD
The Ideal Of Comfort j. Good Service
Even if the Table BE Less Plentiful.

The Ideal Of Comfort j. Good Service,
Even if the Table BE Less Plentiful.
In an article on the English middle
Glasses Harpers Bazaar gives some very en-
tertainiug details about the manners and
daily customs of an English household of
the upper middle class, among them the
following:
An American woman wonders when she
learns how many servants are needed 10
run such a household The cook must
have her one or more kitchen maids, there
must be couple of footI1en and parlor
maid, two or three chan bermaids and a
lady's maid, and in large houses this would
seem but a small staff.
Visiting hours are SO arranged that the
Engllshwoman has her morning practical
ly to herself. She is well fortified for the
day She had her cup of tea before getting
up. Then at came breakfast with her
husband and children-an informal meal,
with no servants in the room. AT this she
drank another cup of tea, ate her rasher of
bacon and toast and finished with MARINA
lade. The menu is bacon and marmalade
winter and summer, spr ng and autumn
Hot cakes or rolls are delicacies never seen
on an English breakfast table After the
interview with the cook the lady Of the
house is full mistress of her own time. She
can count upon no one, except perhaps an
intimate friend, calling before or in the
afternoon, so that it is rarely she is inter
rupted for formal social duties.
Luncheon is very important function,
from which children are banished to the
nursery. 1t might be called more correctly
dinner-hot joint and vegetables, pud-
ding, cheese and fruit.
Shopping hours are much the same as
with US. Between y and the shops are
most crowded. The most popular time of
all, however, is from 3 to 5. And then, if
luncheon must be had away from home it
is in the genuine English restaurant-in
the Holborn or the Criterion or the ST.
James-it is eaten. Not for the British
middle class women are the pleasant little
French and Italian haunts.
AT o'clock tea is served. 1t is brought
up to the drawing room on q tray, and is
the most informal and delightful of all Eng
lsh meals. Thin slices of bread and butter
and cake-homemade, if possible-are eaten
with it, and on day lat lone it answers
as an excellent substitute Tor conversation.
After tea it is time to dress for Z, $50 or S
O'Clock dinner.
Dinner, the master of the house now be-
ing at home, is very formal affair, far
more so than it is with us. The manner in
which it is served is of more account than
the dishes of which it consists. Our stand
by, soup, you need never expect to get very
good, if you get it at all. Upon the inevita-
bic joint and the no less inevitable tart you
can as surely count. With dinner the day
ends. The hours that rem ain are devoted
to amusement, whether that means sitting
around the fire in the emf arrassed silence
broken by spasmodic "aohs'' that in Eng
land is called talking, or going to the thea
ter, where stalls and balcony are usually
TILED by the wealthy upper" middle class.
