The influence of Custom.

Women are not permitted to sit In the
body OF the Temple Church Of London, be-
cause many hundreds of years ago the
seats were reserved for the mOnkish
knights, for whom the church was erected
Another story, Illustrating the tenacity of
custom in European communities, is that of
the sentinel at a certain point in public
garden In London. Nobody knew why he
was stationed at that particular point until
some one, deiving In old records, discovered
that generations before a sentinel had been
placed there to warn people off newly
painted bench. Even European birds seem
tenacious OF precedent Migratory birds do
not cross the Mediterranean at its narrowest
point, but an examination has proved that
the point at which many do cross was at
one time the naTrowest part OF the sen.

How to Drink MIX.

Few people know that there is good and
a bad way of drinking milk. The bad way
is that which they generally follow, viz: to
swallow a large quantity at once. When
milk goes into the stomach it is instantly
curdled, aud il 1t is curdled into one big
mass the juices of the stomach can work on
only the outside of it. This is the reason
that many people who like milk. and to

The Manner In which = woman should

woman often finds herself uncertain
upon, says the Courier Journal. i gust
how she should speak Of her husband
by name to othcrs-vhen 70 speak Of
him as Mr.. Jones, when TO use bis first
name and when TO give him his title.
Instinct will usually guide Alright any
woman OF gentle breeding. Most wom'
en- may be trusted, for example. never
10 use their husbands Christian name
in speaking of him to any one, except
near rclativeor very dear friend OF

an never makes . nnistalxe If she calls
him MR. or my husband II is
sometimes difficult to decide. when the

In one case which defed every treat-

singing lessons, fattening food, the
leaving off Of the corset, allowing the
body perfect freedom, was absolutely
successful. OF course there is this
against the non wear Of stsys--the

counteract this . very. short stay
might be worn, or better still, a long
belt Of stout canvas slightly boned,
which will compresslthe waist, not too
tightly, preserve one from the unconl-
Portable feel of petticoat strings and
bands, and which will merely support
the bust without pressing in the least
upon it
Whatever part of our bodies we wish
to keep small, to prevent fat from
forming thereon. will be easily achieved
by COMPRISING that part so as to cause

"As [ was driving along at a good

stopped and ne rvously looked across to-

the farther side than we all broke
through with a resounding crash
which echoed and reechoed along the
dismal, far-reaching shore in the most
weird cadences imaginable. Picture
to yourself the situation. There was
the horse, almost completely covered
with water, the cutter floating behind
him, and standing up in it, fearing
every moment that the wolves would
spring upon me or the horse.
''By the merest casualty, however,
the piece of ice which had broken loose
under the horses feet when he jumped
happened to be Of good size. The re-
suit was that when l applied the whip,
my horse, with one tremendous effort,
raised his front feet above water and
planted them firmly in the solid ice, at
which juncture the broken cake of ice
served an excellent purpose Of helping
to buoy up the horses hind parts to
such an extent that he was enabled to
completely extricate himself-cutter,
driver and all landing safely on the
solid ice beyond the opening, and that,
teo, without anything breaking either
about the harness or cutter. 1t was
all done in moment or two-so quick
ly in fact that the occurrence seemed
more like dream to me than stern
reality TO this day 1t is a profound
mystery to me how horse could re-
cover himself as mine did then after
having broken through into water of
frightful depth. Yet the circumstance
is as true as it is marvellous.
''On-we sped afterwards, as If moth
ing serious had transpired, the wolves
following hard after us; but in a few
minutes the bluff was reached, and
then the lumber kings house was

distance.

my revolver; but, while the shots !
fred had the desirable effect Of beating
the wolves back for the time being, l
do not think / succeeded in seriously
wounding any one of them. As we
neared the shore the hungry beasts
began to fall back one by one, of their
own accord, until all had disappeared,
for they became apprehensive and did
not at all relish the signs of civilization
which were becoming more and more
visible to them.
