considered to be quite a luxury. They are
the nests of a species of swallows, not I'M
like the bird with which we are familiar at
home; it is about four inches and a half in
length, with a great eXpanse of wing. The
nest, which is small, is found in vast num-
bers in the great rocky caves which abound
in some of these eastern islands; they are
formed of a gelatinOuS substance, nearly
transparent, and now believed to be a
species of seaweed. The nests, which are
so numerous as to be adhering TO one an
other, are collected by means of ladders
and ropes; it is after the young are ledged
that the nests are thus taken In the Chi

price that they can only be purchased by
wealthy persons. They are used TO thicl1en

Pain In this locality. frequently extending

treated accordingly. In another direction
nervous trouble produces violent head
ache-that is from the medium of tho
stomach. With many people any deep OF
sudden emotion, such rs grief, fear or even

action of the stomach; there is an utter ab,

which results is simply the indication Of
the trouble. When il is removed, and th~
stomach resumes its accustomed act

COMMON MISTAKES.
Some Lapses I'm Politeness Not Unknown
Even in the Well Bred.

Even in the Well Bred.
A common lapse in good breeding, noted
by Marion Harland in The Housekeepers'
Weekly, is the habit of reluctantly accept
ing an invitation. If friend or acquaint-
ance invites you to her house she is be-
slowing a compliment upon you, and you,
as the honored person, should consider it
as such.
If you can accept, do so gracefully, not
condescendingly. One young man, whose
youth must be his only excuse, told an
elderly lady that he would like TO dine
with her, as she wished him to do, but that
business detained him so late at the office
that he would have to disappoint her" She
manifested her genuine ladyhood by not
smiling at the patronizing declinature
When forced to refuse an invitation do so
regretfully, expressing your thanks for the
thought of you and your sorrow that cir
cumstances will render your acceptance
impossible But when you can accept do
it heartily and Internationally. What
woman does not know the satisfaction of a
frank Il thank youl l will, with pleasure;"
Another failure to be avoided, says the
authority quoted, lis that of undue ia
miliarity A Christian man once told me
that he never felt more like committing
murder than when an acquaintance at
tracted his attention by Shaping him on
the back. The laying on of hands in this
sense should be a seldom taken liberty.
