fashion is followed, and ladies and gen.
tlemen leave the dining room at tho
same time. you go out as you came in!
II the English fashion obtains. and the
gentlemen remain to smoke and talk,

tlemen. who are all standing up, and al

Learn to walk well and not to "trot."
A dinner invitation should be achnowl-
edged, and either accepted or declined,
within three hours, and the changing
OF ones mind about 1t is neveh per-
mitted. A witty Frenchman said: "only
death is an excuse for not keeping a
dinner engagement, and even then
polite man would send the undertaken
to apologize for him."

The standard Silver Dollar.

The coinage of the standard silver
dollar was first authorized by act OF
April 2, 1892. It's weight was to be 41e
grains standard silver; fineness, 1924;
which was equivalent to 371A grains OF
fine silver. with AK grains of pure
copper alloy. This weight was changed
by act of Jan. IS. 1887. to 41212 grains,
and flneness changed to 900, thus pre-
serving the same amount Of pure silver
as before. BY act of Feb. II, 1873, the
coinage was discontinued. The total
number of silver dollars coined from
1892 to 1873 was S,045, 1873. The act OF 1874
provided for the coinage of the trade
dollar" of weight APO grains, and an act
passed i'm June. 1874, ordered that all
silver coins should only be legal tender
at their nominal value for amounts not
exceeding So" The effect OF these acts
was the decentralization" of silver, OF
which so much has been said. Feb.
2S. 1873. the coinage Of the standard
dollar of 412h grains was revived by
act Of congress-; $2,000,O 900 per month was
ordered coined, and TIE coins were made
legal tender for all debts, public and
private. From February, 1873, to Nov.
I, 1885, 213, 257, 594 of these standard dol
lars were coined under the above act.

the various German states. His greatest
achievement was the negotiation of the
famous commercial treaty between Rus
STA and Germany, which was completed
in 1898. and has been considered one Of
the most important acts of the present
emperor. He was stationed at Washing

to 1878, but as a matter of fact spent
most of the time in New York and in
protracted Journeys in the west. Baron

THE HAREM AND SLAVERY
A Slave Is Submissive. obedlent and AnI

A Slave Is Submissive, Obedient and Anx-
ious TO Please Her Lord and Master.
For the service of the harem as at
present constituted slaves are indis-
pcnsable, 1t being unlawful for free
Moslem woman to appear unveiled be-
fore any man not a near relative, while
to a slave who is the property Of her
master or mistress no such restriction
attaches so FAR as they are concerned
Since the abolition OF the public slave
market the private trade in slaves has
become much more general and widely
spread than it formerly was. and is
carried on to a great extent by ladies
Of rank. some of whom are themselves
emancipated slaves, says the Nineteenth
Century. In addition to the negresses
and other women of unattractive ex-
terror, to whom the mental duties Of the
household are assigned, these lady deal
ers pay large sums for pretty children
Of from 6 to 10 years of age, who are
carefully trained for the higher posi-
tons they will probably be called upon
to occupy. Many Turks prefer. for va
rious reasons, to marry women who
have been brought up as slaves. Mar
riage with a free woman is, indeed,
very expensive matter for a young
bridegroom and his parents, owing to
the lavish outlay in presents and en-
tertainments required by custom on
such occasions. Consequently IL faith
err cannot afford to marry his son to
maiden of his own rank. he purchases
for him a slave girl who has been edu-
Gated in some great lady's harem, and
no expense is incurred beyond the pur-
chase money. A slave. having no posi-
ton OF her own, is submissive and ODE
dent to. and anxious to please her lord
and master, has no troublesome pre-
tensions or caprices. and no interior
ing relatives TO take her part against
him. A free woman, on the other hand,
is by no means always disposed to
have, according 20 her own expression,
neither mouth nor tongue" She is fully
aware of her rights, and inclined 20 as

forded by her family gives her an as
surance which the husband often finds

IIncoln's Theology.

Immediately after the earliest battles
Of the war, most Of the sick and wound
ed were brought to the Philadelphia
hospitals for treatment, and / was in
daily receipt of letters from my de-
! ,minational friends soliciting me to
visit husbands and brothers who were
among the sick and wounded. AS much
of my time was thus occupied, and at
considerable expense. 1t was suggested
by the Hon.. Henry ID. Moore that ap-
plication be'made for the position of
hospital chaplain, and it was on the
recommendation of Mr.. Moore and Gov
ernor Curtin that the president made
the nomination.
Soon as it was announced in the pa
pers that my name had been sent to
the senate for confirmation, a self-con-
stituted committee of young Chris

teered their services to visit Washing
ton and try to induce the president to
withdraw the name.
1t so happened that when these gen.
tlemen called upon the president Mr..
Covode was present and made known
the interview to a reporter. and 1t thus
became public.
1--WE have called, Mr.. President, TO
confer with you in regard to the APP
pointment of Mr. Shrigley of Philadel-
phia as hospital chaplain"
The president responded: ooh, yes,
gentlemen; 1 have sent his name to the
senate, and he will no doubt be con-
frmed at an early day."
One of the young men replied: 1--WE
have not come to ask for the appoint
ment, but to solicit you to withdraw
the nomination"
"Ah," said Lincoln, that alters the
case; but on what ground do you wish
the nomination withdrawn"
The answer was: "Mr. Shrigley is not
sound in his theological opinions"
The president inquired: ION what
question is the gentleman unsound?
Response: HE does not believe In
endless punishment; not only so, sir, but
he believes that even the rebels them
selves will finally be saved"
els that so?" inquird the president.
The members of the committee both
responded: Yes. SIR"
"Well, gentlemen, IL that be so, and
there is any way under heaven where

than old-time Yankee talk and section

good old word American"

ashamed of 1t is a reproach to us all"
