now beginning to realize what it is to

not take as much interestln the school
as | should, but you do not know how
bad | feel about cur school being scat
tered as it is, when there was never a
better chance for a successful one

skilled teaching has spoiled the pupils,

Sir Richard Wallace knew Lola
Montez well, and in his AN English

wonderful woman, because there
was nothing about her except per
haps her beauty and her consummate
impudence "She had not a scrap of
talent of any kind says Sir R',h-
ard. Education she had none, for
whether she spoke in English,
French or Spanish, grammatical er,
rors abounded and her expressions
were always those of pretentious
housemaid, unless they were those of
an excited fishwife Her gait and
carriage were those of a duchess, fol-
she was naturally graceful, but the
moment she opened her lips the illu
sion vanished-at least to me. For
am bound to admit that men of fan
higher intellectual attachments than
mine and familiar with very good so
ciety raved and kept raving about
her though all these defects could
not have failed to strike them as
they had struck me. l take it that
it must have been her beauty, for,

was that of pothouse, which would

Valuable Waste.

Refiners of nitrate of silver for the
use of photographers, said one of the
profession, have agents travelling con
stantly about the country collecting the
waste clippings of sensitized paper that
accumulate in every photograph gal
lery. They buy all they can find and
pay for it in new nitrate, allowing the
photographer good round price for his
waste. The waste is shipped to the re-
hners. where the nitrate in the paper is
separated from it by chemical processes
and prepared for market again. This
re-refined nitrate is as good as it was
originally and is sold for just as much
The retiners, of course, make big
profit out of the waste. and the pho
tographer is able to get a good supply Of
material for the scraps that would
otherwise be of no use to him.
when one thinks of the great mum
Der of photograph galleries and studios
in the country and the fact that the
waste paper of them all is closely gath
cred by the refiners at a price that Will
average 81 pound, he may get some
idea of the proportions of a business
that is utterly unknown outside Of the
persons directly interested. Not only
the scraps of silver sensitized paper
but those of the paper treated with
solutions of gold are eagerly sought by
the refiners, and the photographer is
always very glad to exchange his ac-
emulation of, to him, worthless waste
for neat stock of valuable nitrate -

Ye Ancient Ciyility.

The Rule of Civility,' published
in 1867, is not without interest, as the
following quotations show:
ut is unhandsome among ladies',
or in any other serious company, to
throw off ones coat, to pull off ones
peruke, to clean ones nails, to tie
ones garter to change ones shoes if
they pinch, to call for ones slippers
to be at ease, to sing between the
teeth or to drum with ones fingers.
1t is too juvenile and light when in
the company of ladies to play with
them. toss or tumble them, to force
away their hoods, fans or cuffs

readers, observe that your hands
be clean. Dip not your fingers in the

Funeral Garlansls,

A custom prevailed and continued
even down to recent Years of making
funeral garlands on the death of
young unmarried women of unblem
ished character. These garlands were
made sometimes of metal and some
times Of natural flowers or ever
greens and commonly having white
glove in the center on which was in
scribed the name and initials and age
of the deceased. This garland was
laid on or carried before the coffin
during its passage to the grave and
afterward frequently hung up in the
church, generally being suspended
from the roof. 1t was usual in the
primitive church to place crowns of
flowers on the heads of deceased viz

Got Even With the Preacher.

A lawyer of this city tells a story OF
how he got even with a preacher. II
was on the occasion of his second mar
riage. After concluding the ceremony
the minister took advantage OF the
privilege accorded him by custom Of
kissing the bride. While so engaged
the groom suddenly imprinted a re
sounding kiss on the cheek of the min
ister's wife, who was standing immedi
ately behind the wedding party.
The lady was indignant, and the min
lister asked for an explanation. Coolly
enough and in a few words the groom
expressed the opinion that It was a poor
rule that would not work both ways
and that he had as much right to kiss
the preachers wife as the former had
to kiss the bride. louisville Post

9 The Waltz.

1t was Lady Jersey who introduced
it, and when later the Emperor Alex
ander visited London, an army of for
eigners gave strong impetus to the
movement Its great popularity gave
rise to many disputes as to whence
the waltz originally came, whether
from the old Provencal La Sau-
teuse," or Wolfe" or the German
national Dance the "Laendler. 1t
is most universally ascribed to the
last named. The "Laendler' was
under the ban of the authorities as
being dangerous to both health and
morals, but in spite of prohibition it
made its way to Vienna, where it
was introduced in the opera Una
Casa Rara, by Vincente Martens.
The character of the dance WIS,
however, greatly changed and mo1i-
fed, the tempo being much accel-
Grated. From Vienna it quickly
passed to France. Dr. Bulney saw
it performed in Paris in 1850 and
could not help rejecting, "how un-
easy an English mother would feel to
see her daughter so Familiarity treat
ed and still more to note the obiging
manner in which the freedom is re
turned by the females"
Had he lived a few years longer,
the good old doctors sense of deco
rum would have RECEIVED shock in
the welcome accorded to the dance
by English women. All the Year
