taken In ambulsnces to the Presbyterian

leave the hospital.
Captain Randall was greatly distressed

Good Manners.

Mrs II. O. Ward very sensibly begins
her Social Ethics and Social Duties" by
some Introductory remarks. in which she
says that she claims nothing In the book
as original. We may say that the old
material has been worked over into new
and very agreeable forms, and deserves
commentator. OF course we all know
that the finest, truast good manners spring
from kindness of heart, from loving char
ity and tender sympathy. Gossip is ILL
bred; so OF course is sefishness. Polished
manners may be veneered on to a bad ma
ture, but the cheat is easily discovered.
Our manners betray the form and sub
stance of our thoughts, the condition OF
our inner being. not the garment Of polite
ness We put on 20 wear abroad, but the
every day apparel worn in the home cir
Gle. II we are gentle and considerable 10
those sitting at our own fireside. then we
are well-bred to the core of the heart, al
though we be ignorant Of what the world

portance of training children in the ethics
Of social intercourse cannot be ovcresti-
mated. They should. above all things. be
taught self-forgetfulness. the self-forget-
fulness leading up 10 that great command

The subject is a broad one and broadly
treated by Mrs, Wood.
