TESTS OF BREEDING.
Good Manners Have Their sharpest Test
at Home.

Good Manners Have Their sharpest Test
at Home.
Frankness without rudeness, indie
pendence without the least tinge of
egotism, sincerity freed from any show
of coarseness, promptness of express
sion without undue liberty of speech,
and the grace and sweetness of atten-
ton and sympathy are the nerves of
good manners. Lacking these mere
physical attractivenessg goes for naught;
with them a homely face and an un-
classic form appear positively beauti-
full. Style tells, and there can be no
good style in the absence of good char
acter.
One of the shrewdest things that
Emerson ever said was: He that does
not fill place at home, cannot abroad"
Good manners begin at home and have
their sharpest test in the conduct of
everyday domestic affairs and in the
management of what we are wont to
consider the insignificant circum-
stances of private life. 1t was vulgar
old woman who said: II hain't got no
ay-go-to-meetin' foolishness about
me- but her remark carried val
liable suggestion of what man.
ners should be, the same every
day in the year. That is to
say, the habit of life, not the for
mality assumed for an occasion,
is the true basis of social conduct,
and early youth is the time in which
proper habit of life is to be acquired.
What we do from habit we do without
self-consciousness, easily and with such
grace as we have. Good breeding is
but the hereditary habit of doing the
right thing as matter of course. If
you have not good breeding the next
best thing is sound self-training, not in
outward expression alone. but in in
ward taste, aspiration and attitude.
For manners are but extrinsic badges
of intrinsic values. The flower is from
the root; the grace of charming con-
duct is from the purest wells of right
feeling and honest purpose. Be sure
that worthy motive and an unselfish
attitude of mind are behind your con-
duct and you need not dread criticism.
Somehow genuine goodness and sym
pathetic attention to others cover all
of our merely conventional shortcom-
ings, provided these shortcomings are
not the result of vulgarity which is in
compatible with ordinary regard for
ones station in life.-Angeline Bryce
Martin, in Chautauquan.

TOO MUCH ORDER.

It Makes Home Life just as IntolerabIe
as a Lack of System.
A house in which there is no orderly
routine is a very uncomfortable place,
no doubt, but too much order may be
equally disagreeable and wearing, the
nerves of the family being rasped as
were those of people who lived with r.
Wilfer's wife.
People to whom order is not the
means to a desired end, but the end
itself, give themselves and others a
great deal of needless trouble. A chair
or book out of place distresses them.
A blur on the window pane drives
them to distraction, unless they can at
once remove it. A meal slightly de-
layed beyond the appointed hour loses
for them its SAVIOR.
Order is their fetch. In vain their
friends beg them TO be philosophical,
to try elasticity as a sort of buffer
against annoyances. They shake their
heads YEARLY, and keep on fretting.
And the fretting marks their foreheads
and indents their lips and writes its
record on their faces, while husbands
and children sigh for little cheerful
happy-go-lucl1y disorder. The daugh-
ter Of the over orderly mother is often.

a TOILET SECRET.
How to Wave the Hair According to t.
Latest Dictum.

How to Wave the Hair According to the
Latest Dictum.
The fashion of waved hair brings
about a new method in the use of the
old-fashioned curling iron. The hair
must no longer be crimped, but must
be laid over the head in large. natural
looking waves. The entire secret lies
in the fact that the iron is no longer
applied to the tip of the tress of hair,
and the hair wound over it, but the
tress of hair itself is wound around the
iron, beginning as near the scalp as it
is comfortable to hold the heated iron.
The illustration shows better than
words exactly how this is done. The
parting of the hair, which proved so
unpopular when it was first introduced,
has been accepted chiefly by those per-
sons of a Madonna type of face, for

A Curious Piece OF stone.

In an Oxford museum may be seen a
strange stone. 1t Is composed of carbon
ate OF lime and was taken from a pipe
which carries off drain water in colliery.
The stone consists OF alternate layers OF
black and white, so that IL has striped
appearance. This was caused in the fol
lowing way: When the miners were at
work, the water which ran through the
pipe contained a good deal Of coal dust,
and so left black deposit In the pipe.
But when no work was going on-as, for
instance, In the night-the water was
clean, and so white layer was formed.
In time these deposits quite filled the pipe,
and IL was therefore taken up. Then ii
was found that the black and white layers
formed quite a calendar. Small streaks,
alternately black and white, showed n
week, and then came white streak OF
twice the usual size. This was Sunday,
during which there was of course no work
for "a hours But in the middle Of one
week there came n white streak Of twice
the usual size. On inquiry it was found
that on that day a large fair had been held
in the neighbOrhood, and no work had
heen done at the colliery. Every change
in the ordinary course of work had left
It's mark on this strange stone, to which
has been given the title of "The Sunday
