It there are other guests in the room,

nize them at any other time. Etiquette
demands that you treat those guests
politely whom you meet in q friends
house. Don't slide into the first chair
you reach, but pass well into the room
before seating yourself.
A gentleman holds his hat and cane
while making formal call. Try to ap-
pear interested in whatever subject is
introduced and never suggest a subject
which is not of general interest to those
around you. And when it is time to
bring your call to a close, don't begin
to fidget about in your chair, ,dreading to
make the first move.
1t is very awkward to leave the room
during lull in the conversation. Wait
until you yourself are talking, then
rise to your feet. 1t is quite unneces-
sary to ask everyone in the room to
come and see you and even the friend
upon whom you are calling knows that
you will hope for call from her in the
near future. without your announcing
the fact.
Now before leaving turn to each one

Handy Remedy for Burns.

To burns, unsalted butter, fresh oil,
yolk Of egg or cold cream should be ap-
piled at once. An especially good effect
is gotten from linseed oil and linn Q
water in equal parts, or from bicarbon-
ate of soda with the requisite amount
of water to make paste. Over such
applications should be placed very
light bandage, not thick one, which
will generate warmth. It is essential
in case of burn to exclude the air, es-
pccially if the skin is broken. A paste
made Of SCOT, common baking soda, or
even -four, is valuable In Gaze there -

THE CAR FELT HoNoREo.
A "Degree" Conferred ON Him by a Har

Varu society.
Years ago there existed at Harvard a
secret society called the "Med Fac
whose sole object seems to have been
the perpetration of practical jokes At
one of the meetings it was suggested
that the society confer fictitious
honorary degree on Nicholas, who was
at that time czar of Russia, and accord
ingly committee was appointed to
draft a communication which should be
prepared and forwarded to his imperial
majesty. The draft was duly pre-
sented, a copy made, and after having
been properly 'signed, sealed and certi-
fed" it was dispatched to Russia. !,
In the course of a month or two il
was learned that one of the express
companies had packages for society
called the "Med. Fac" and the officers
of this society were not tardy in claim
ing their property. Attached to the
package was letter bearing the royal
seal of Russia, and on opening it it was
found to be a reply from the chamber
lain of the czar to the communication of
the society. His majesty had with
much pleasure learned of the great
honor conferred on him by such a dis
tinguishcd institution as Harvard, and
felt much dattered with the dignity it
bore. He therefore, in accepting the
honor, desired to convey his best wishes
to this distinguished part of the great
university, and hoped that the accom-
panying gift might be accepted as .
slight token of his regard.
On opening the package it was found
to contain complete case of the most
valuable surgical instruments. The gift
ever afterward occupied prominent

A Monstrous Prehistoric Man.

Two miners who recently returned
from Grand canyon, Arizona, report a
marvellous discovery. In the basin of
the canyon, which was once sand bed,
and probably thousands of years ago a
broad, level plain, they came upon the
perfect imprint of human foot, for
the toes, heel, and every portion were
plainly outlined, the imprint being ap-
parently made when the sand of which
the rock is composed was in plastic
state. 1t measured twenty-six inches
in length and nearly twelve in width.
While they were puzzling over the cu-
riosity one of the mule drivers found
several others, all the same size as the
first. They were distinctively and
evenly eighteen feet apart, showing the
great distance which that monster with
human foot could step at single
stride.-Chicago Times.

Mr.. Lee soothed the man and assured him
he would not let his pu-suers in. The man
said his name was William Watson, and
Lee gave him room. Soon the men in
cloaks were after Watson again. He was
defiant now, and dared them to come on.
He was waking every one in the house with
his bowls, and Lee raped on the door
begging him to be silent. Still Watson
shouted for them to come on, and Lee
opened the door and walked in. The mad
man was awaiting him with the china wash

on the night clerks head, cut

bits. Then he sprang at the door and
turned the key and shouted: 'Hurrahl

Lee by the throat and hand to-hand

down into Lees eyes. binding him. He still
was dizzy from the blow, while the knotty
hands Of the maniac were pressing tighter
on his throat and strangling him. With

and threw him. The man held tight and
they fell together across the bed. Watson

Man and His Pretty Young Wife
Arrested for kissing in the street.
From the Nelo York Sun.
BosToN, May ga good many queer
things are done in Boston, but the latest
oddity was the arrest last night of man
and his wife for kissing each other on the
street. The policeman whose finer sense of
the proprities of life led him to arrest the
couple was Patrolman Mcguire. The cul-
prits were Mr.. and Mrs. Earle Moves.
That is the name they gave in court,
but as the young couple move in the
best society in East Boston, and as the
husband is a prominent boot and snoe
dealer, the real names were not given, Mrs
Noyes, as she called herself, is handsome
young woman, and those who saw her in
court this morning didn't blame her hus-
band for kissing her, even on the street.
But they were not on the sidewalk; they
were in a doorway waiting for an East
Boston car. They had been visiting a
friend, and had remained until a late hour
AS there appeared TO be no one in sight Mr.
Noyes put his arms around his wife, and
kissed her two or three times.
Policeman Mcguire, who had been stand
ing in doorway on the opposite side of the
street. saw the kissing and interposed an
objection in the name OF the law, Mr.
his business, and refused to "move on"
when ordered so TO do. That made the
policeman mad, and he arrested husband
and wife for dlsorderly conduct. In the
court this morning Lawyer Pelton, who
conducted their defense, characterized the
arrest as the most outrageous act ever per-
formed by a policeman.

did not know their relations to each other.
