THE "eEAu BRuMMELL"TIP.
Hints to Those Who Wish to Acquire the
Latest Mode of Salutation.

Hints to Those Who Wish to Acquire the
Latest Mode of Salutation.
If a young gentleman feels that 1t Is
his imperative duty to be thoroughly
conversant with all the latest kinks,
fads and wrinkles of modern society,
says the Cleveland Leader, he must at
once learn the "Beau Brummell' style
of tipping the hat. This is an acquired
art, as a relish for olives is an acquired
taste to most people. The best way to
become familiar with the new style is
to stand in front Of mirror and prac-
tice steadily for week or two. At the
end of that time 1t is barely possible
that the pupil will know his lesson
well. The rules for the new style, as
laid down by one of Cleveland's bright
est young society men are as follows:
Never undertake to tip your hat un-
less the left foot is well in front of the
right. That brings your body in
graceful position and will commend
you at once to the favorable observa-
ton of any young lady who has know1-
edge of the principles of the Delsarte
system.
Bring the right hand, If the lady is
on your left side, in a gracefulRcurve
to the brim of the hat. Be sure that
your hand describes a curve, otherwise
the motion will be similar to half
dozen others associated with matters
of the head. For instance, an abrupt
angular motion might delude the young
woman into believing that you intended
to pluck a cinder from your eye.
Grasp the hat lightly by the brim, be-
ing sure that the little finger of the
hand thus employed sticks up at what
might be termed an aristocratic angle.
Gently remove the hat and bring it
forward at a height of two inches above
your head until an imaginary line des-
cribing the angle with your body would
terminate at the third vest button.
Smile with aristocratic grace.
Incline your head slightly as the IA
vored one passes and move the lips
trifle as though extending a greeting,
being careful, however, not to appear
audibly until the young lady has first
addressed you.
This may look like an easy trick, but
it is really something very hard to mas
ter and perform with excellence; so
those say that have attempted it. OF
one thing, however, the young men
may be assured. That is, that very
much of their standing in ''dudedom"
depends upon being able to do the
''Beau Brummen" tip. There are a
number of young gentlemen who prom
enade up and down every afternoon in
the Arcade, practicing the new thing
before the show windows, and observ-
ing their reflections in the glass.

ENGLISH naval architects have been
Informed by one of their number who
had ample oppol tunities for examining
the naval establishments of the United
States, that their we'll organized condi-
ton was matter of great surprise to
him, and that in general way the new
American cruisers were not only fully
up to the best English, but their arma-
ment were more powerful and their
speed greater. This is certainly very
complimentary to our war ship de-
signers and builders, but it needed not
this expression from an expert to sati-f y
the people on this side of the water that
in the matter of shipbuilding all that
was needed to produce the best ships in
the world here was government orders
and the money.

DANGEROUS COUNTERFEIT.

WASHINGTON, April 17.-Another coun-

1t is of the series of 1886, check letter

Some alc":!l hls been created in Ger
many by mt publication of the
official Va statistics of educa-
ton, that among the chill
dren ling the public schools
in Ell !iam's dominions there
are Ii. eighty thousand af-
Hict", = defect of speech known
as ST, 4;. The city of Breslau
alone. tie Chicago Mail, contrib
utes :, ...,,ta of twenty-four hundred
stuttr-!n., children to the total; and in
some places the number of stammerers
attains the large proportion of ten per
cent. of the school attendance.
Realizing the growth as well as the
gravity of the mischief, the German
government has for some months past
devoted considerable attention to the
subject, and has gathered together
much interesting information about the
matter. The most valuable report Is
that contributed by DIR. Gutzmann, SO
| well known throughout the world for
his successful teachings of deaf mutes,
and whose absence from the interna-
tional convention of instructors of deaf
mutes recently in session in New York
was a matter of sincere regret to the
delegates.
| According to DIR. Gutzmann, whose
report has been adopted and published
by the German government, involun-
tary mimicry plays great part in slut
! tering. Like yawning, it is catching.
Thesquicker a child is and the more inn
| itative, the more apt it is to imbibe any
\ defects of speech on the part of those
| by whom it is surrounded. Conclusive
evidence of the contagious nature of
stammering is to be found in the fact
| that the number of Sufferers in q
school increases steadily as the chill
dren pass upward from class to class.
| In the public schools of Berlin, for in
stance, the number of stammerers
among the children in the lowest class
was 0.52 of the total force of the class.
This proportion rose from year to year,
as the children passed upward in the
educational scale, until in the highest
class the percentage was discovered to
be 1.61, or more than three times the
number found when the same children
| were in the lowest class.
Comprehending that it would be only
with special care and particular pre-
caution on the part of the teachers that
the public schools could be prevented
from becoming centers for the propaga-
ton of the grave defect of suffering,
the German government has encouraged
DIR. Gutzmann to start special course
Of scientific instruction for public
school-teachers showing them how to
deal with the stammerers, and the
public schools in all parts of Germany
have now sent teachers to Berlin for
the purpose Of acquiring DIR. Gutz-
mann's method. So satisfied is the en-
peror with the latter that he has taken
leading part in securing its general
adoption by all the educational institu-
tions in his dominions.
