ood Manners.

Looking over the list of things one
may or may not do in society, we and
the authority Of the Golden Rule be-
hind all good manners. The best
bred people are those who never for
get what is due to others; the laws
by which they are governed have
sprung into existence to answer a
need, to spare peoples feelings, preju-
dices or eXertions. That one must
not break an engagement to dine,
says Bazar, is not simply because one
must never break any promise, but
because doing 80 will disarrange the
whole affair, and make aWkwardness
and Inconvenience for those that have
been so kind as to ask one to their
table. That on calling tremendously
on one member of household, who is
80 either temporarily or permanently,
the visitor should leave his card, OF
ask for the lady who is at the head OF
the house, even If quite Indifferent as
to whether she sees her or not, is not
the command ofan idle piece of hypoc-
risy, but is to be done both because
the courtesy is due to the person
whose threshold Is crossed, and be-
cause it makes the circumstances
easy for the person on whom the call
is really made, avoiding any disturb
ance or jealousy. That she may not
refuse an invitation from one and ac-
cept it from another Is not rule for
the arbitrary curtailment Of her lib
erty and pleasure, but is made for the
sake of sparing the sensibilities Of the
one whose invitation is not accepted.
And 80 on to the end. The essential
requirements of etiquette may be met
by any one who remembers under all
circumstances to do and say that
which Is most agreeable to others,
even if some minor points are neg
lected.

The Power Of Habit.

The other morning, a tall, stout
man with straggy, half-grown beard
and every indication of poverty in his
apparel, entered the Riggs House and
approached the desk where Proprietor
De Witte was standing.
II have not had anything to eat
except sandwich yesterday morning
for two days." be said In voice that
trembied with weakness. "Can't
you let me have something?"
Mr. De Witte gave him a card to
the steward, and pretty soon he was
voraciously disposing Of a plentiful
breakfast. When he had finished he
unconsciously dipped his fingers in
the water glass, passed them over his
lips, and drying them on the napkin
arose from the table. Drawing him
self up he smiled with satisfaction.
and putting his hand into his pocket
of his tattered vest, he drew forth a
dime and proffered it to the aston
ished waiter. When the latter re-
fused the tip, the man appeared to
awaken from dream, and with red
dening face he muttered something
and hurriedly went out
His gait. bearing manner and poise
generally were those Of man who
had known better days. and the un-
conscious recognition Of the water
showed that the power Of habit ac-
Quired in the days Of his prosperity

caused him to forget his present

Water Proof Masonry.

What was at first cons 'dered q
doubtful experiment, Damely, the
use Of coal tar as a means Of render
ing masonry 1mpervious to water, es-
peciaily in positions exposed to d.
rect contact with the latter, has
proved practically valuable resort.
Used as a coating for masonry built
up Of very porous stone, tar renders
it quite impervious, even alta depth
of some fifty feet Of water, and, ac-
cording to the opinion of those whose
experience has been extensive with
it, the article should be utilized in
all public buildings particularly those
designed for the preservation Of works
OF art, the dissolvigg action Of water,
even upon mortar Of superior quality,
being we'll known: and also the un-
favorable effect of the exudafion OF
water charged with lime salts from
the water. Two methods of using
the tar are named, namely, in a boil
ing state In one or several layers,
this being suitable tor surfaces ex.
posed to the air; or it may be made
to fame up before using, this being
appropriate to surfaces which have to
be covered up 1t Is stated that when
boiling coal tar is employed in three
coats on masonry the result is a black
aud very brilliant varnish, which
perfectly resists the action Of frost,
water, and sun, being likewise abso-
.Iutely impervious; and the tendency
of the black coating to absorb heat
may be overcome by withdrawing
the whole before the tar is quite dry:

Slens Of Advancing Years.

T.sDo you know the surest indication
If old age?" asked DR.. Reed Of mum
Der Of friends at the Lindell. The
surest indications in man." he con-
tinued, "are moist eye, a dry palm and
a shrinkage Of the calf Of the leg.
All these indications are due to some
action Of the nerves consequent upon
advancing years. In the matter OF
the eye, the fifth section is interfered
with, and it is this which causes a
flow OF water. The dryness Of the
palm is produced by an interference
with the functions Of the body, also
due to the action of the nerves, and
the shrinkage Of the leg follows
from similar causes. In old age, too,
YOU notice some men become more
corpulent than in the earlier portions
Of their lives. With drinking men
the charge is often produced by the
quantity of saccharine, which they
consume with their drink, and, with
those who do not drink, 1t follows
from other physiological changes. AS
to the hair becoming gray, it results,
In the majority Of cases, from the
partial closing Of the hair cells and
the reduction of the quantity Of nat
ural coloring matter which the clos
ing produces. With women The dim
ness Of the eye does not come Sc soo'
IS it does in nen.oo

Nhera Stills Ara Qaad.

In the large plains called "Llar.
dees," in Southwest France, the peo.
pie use stills as a matter Of course.
these plains are generally flooded,
though not to sufficient depth to
enable people to get about ir boats.
The stills are not held in the hands,
like those we are accustomed to see,
but are firmly strapped to the side OF
the leg. The person wearing them
carries long pole to balance himself,
and aid him in walking. This pole
has usually crosspiece at one end,
so that by putting it at a slant on
the ground behind him, the person
on stills can sit down on it and rest.
1t is a common occurrence in that
country to see men and women sit
ting and knitting in this exalted
position, while the sheep they are
tending wander about on the plain.
They wear their stills all day long,
putting them on when the go out in
the morning, and taking them of
only when they return home at night

nothing less than mackerel with a
rubber band around the body. The
band had been put on the fish when
quite small, and stayed there 1n
spite of the rapid growth of the
wearer. The f1sh's body under the
band did not grow, which caused a
depression in the full grown body Of
about three inches in depth The
depression was covered with healthy
skin in no way unlike that on the
rest Of the body. The fish measured

fish was undoubtedly in a healthy
condition, and the band was strong
and could be stretched like any other

Caiifornla Coast. ssaassessg
On the northern coast Of California,
some thirty miles below the mouth OF
the Klamath River, is one Of the most
! interesting natural formations to be
found in this country, known as the
Big Lagoon. Here the coast, which
runs north and south up to this point,
takes sharp turn inland, bordered
by high hills, running toa distance Of
about three miles, then turning out
again makes sharp bay, almost '
shaped, and forages past sand bar
has been washing itself up across this
bay until the bar has raised up out Of
the water some ten or twelve feet,
having width of about 100 feet and
4 length of four miles, reaching across
the entire bay.
This bar is in the shape Of a roof,
When there is a storm the breakers

and can be traversed on horseback.
In storm the horseman will one

next minute large wave will roll up
and, running under the horses feet to
the depth of foot or more, the rider
will be, for an instant, four miles or
so at sea on horseback, with no land
nearer than the high bluffs Of the
