THE TOO FAMILIAR FRIEND.
Avn Interesting Talk on Matters of Be-
havior in Every Day Life.

havior in Every Day Life.
In "home talk" in Housekeeper's
Weekly Marion Harland touches as fol
lows upon famiHarities which people some
times unthinkiugly indulge in:
The etiquette of the table is supposed to
he so thoroughly rooted ard grounded into
our children from infancy, and Is, as
rule, so well understood by all ladies and
gentlemen, that the visitor, though u fool,
could scarcely err therein. But this is not
the case. Al my own board a man of the
world, accustomed to excellent society, told
me that he saw no mustard on the table,
and as he always liked it with his meat he
would trouble me 10 order some; while an
other man, IA brilliant scholar, asked at a
dinner party, If l would please tell my
butler to bring him Il glass OF MILK"
With these men, the saudpaper Of parental
admonition or the flowing varnish of early
ASSOCIATION had evidently been neglected.
Intimacy and even tender friendship may
and do exist between men and women who
are bound to one another by no family tie.
Familiarity can never deceutly enter into
such a relationship If you, as refined
woman, have Il man friend who slaps you
on the back, sqUeeZes your arm to attract
your attention, holds your hand longer
than friendship ought to dictate, and, with
out your permission. calls you in public or
in private by your first name, you need not
| hesitate to drop him from your list Of inti-
| mates. He is neither gentleman nor does
he respect you as you deserve. lie may be,
| in his way, AL esJimable man, bat IL is not
! in your way, and he belongs TO the rank Of
very ordinary acquaintahces.
| Ii man asks you TO cali him by his first
| name, and your friendship with him justi-
/ fies it, do not hesitate to do so; but if he is
| the finished" article, he will not imagine
that this concession on your part gives him
! the right 10 drop unhidden the Miss or
! Mrs from your name.
A true gentleman does not speak of a
| lady, even his betrothed, to strangers with
out what boys call the handle" to her
| name Nor should a woman mention men
by their last names only. When young
or elderly woman speaks of Smith, -
Brown" or JONES'" you may make up
your mind that the last coat of varnish was
neglected when she was finished"
Always be cautious n making advances
toward familiarity. BE certain that yout
friendship Is desired before going more
than half way. Not long ago / heard a
woman say graveiy OF an uncongenial &c
Quantance whose friendship had been
forced upon her:
''She is certainly my familiar friend. We
can never be intimate"

Consumption CurabIe.

Dr. Arthur Ransome contends in The
Medical Press C,.at consumption is both
durable and preventable. He says:
From my own observation, both in pri-
vate practice and at the Manchester Hos
pital for Consumption, have arrived at
the conclusion that, where all the neces-
sary conditions of treatment can be full
filled, consumption Is decidedly a manage
able disease, and although there are some
constitutions so feeble or so vulnerable by
the organism that the disease spreads
through the body after one infection, yet
in the large majority of cases Il fatal issue
is brought about, not by one or two, but
10y repeated iuvasious of the bacillus de
rived from the unhealthy environment in
which these persons are obliged to live.
With regard to the preventabihty of the
disease we have also a strong basis for our
assertion.
