IDEAS and principles, after all, govern
the world. The good or bad tone OF our
household will depend very much upon
our own idea of what it should be. IL
we exact from ourselves consclen-
tious attention to details we may
reasonably exact it from those VINO
serve u.s. And as we ourselves are
human, we should show in all our rela-
tons with them the recognition of our
common humanity, witha compassionate
charity for its intirmities. We shall be
wise, moreover, if we learn to consider
the work of servants as supplement
tary to our own, not as opposed 70 IL.
The well-being of the household is
matter of so much moment that any
right-minded mistress might be glad to
fulfill all its varied offices. The limits
of human strength and the complex de-
mands of life and of society will not al
low this. Our servants in this view be-
come our alter ego. They do what we
should be glad to do if we could do
everything that is to be done. We
should honor them as our aids and
deputies, and any slight which we may
show them really reacts against our
own worth and dignity,-Julia Ward
Howe, in Chautauquan.

1t is never too early to begin to be
polite. l know little girl, who is only
twelve years old now, who for at least
five years has written letter acknowl-
edging any courtesy received that she
could not acknowledge by voice. She
always answers all letters within rea-
sonable time; every little gift, no mat.
ter how small, is acknowledged at once,
and this has become such a habit that
if any thing prevents her writing it dis
tresses her greatly. Being polite is
as much of habit as is cleaning her
nails or brushing her teeth. No one
will ever hear that little girl, when she
grows to be woman, say that she had
no time to write letter if it is impo-
lite to neglect writing it. No one will
ever hear her say that she has no time
to return call or acknowledge any So
cial attention. She will make time,
for she will feel that it is as much a
part of her duty to acknowledge and
return social attentions us It is to keep
her house clean, or care for her chill
dren, or do any of the things that our
mothers have to do.-Interior.
