Great Courtesy.

Mme. Calve had an experience with the courtesy of the Spanish thieves once while she was in Madrid. Two we'll dressed strangers stole her satchel, which contained some money and a number of luck pieces and talismans, including bunch of dried flowers from her fathers grave. The loss worried the artiste, but when the newspapers reported the theft the thieves sent her the precious relics neatly inclosed in 8 packet, in which was polite note beg ging that the finder" of the reticule might be permitted to keep the money as q souvenir of so charming vocalist.

ETIQUETTE OF VISITS.
The Proper Observance OF Correct sociI
Customs

The Proper Observance OF Correct Social
Customs
In the matter of introductions, II a
gentleman is TO be presented, it must
be with the lady's consent When
there is a disparity Of age between
two women a proper respect TO years
requires that the younger should be
introduced to her senior. An introduc-
tion at public gathering, however,
being an accident of situation, may
not properly be held TO constitute an
acquaintance except by the mutual
agreement Of the persons involved.
Visits are the commonest form Of
social observance and the simplest
duty. One calls upon n newcomer in
the neighborhood or not as one is dis
posed. II is often an act of most gra-
cious hospitality to do so, for the sim
pie call may open a new window to
the world for some forlorn and home
sick pilgrim into a new part of town.
Each cali thus made should be re-
turned within fortnight. This is i'm
perative. II after that il should be
desired by either to drop the acquaint-
ance, IL may be done naturally and
without rudeness. Custom prescribes
that from two days TO a week after a
dinner party or a ball one should call
upon the hostess II is permissible for
a gentleman TO leave his card, or for
his wife in paying her visit, 70 leave it
with her own.
II there are several ladies in house
hold or visitors whom one wishes 10
remember, separate cards should be
left for each person. Bending the
edges or corners of a card TO signify
that one has left IL in person or that It
is intended for all the ladies of the
family is an old-fashioned custom that
is not honored in the breach.
Formal visits of coincidence or con-
graduation OF Of farewell are all
proper observances dictated by an ami
able regard for ones lcquaintances
In each of these cases however the
leaving of cards serves the same pur-
pose.-Harriet +. Robinson, in Chau-
tauquan.

Some OF the Sources to which Its Preva-
lence Cannot he Ascribrd.
IL has often been popularity said that
fish eating Is a main cause OF lcprosy,
and some scientific men hold the opin-
ion that fish introduce the bacillus into
the stomach, or stimulate IL 70 activity
when IL already resides in the tissues.
Against this theory, popular and scien-
tific, there are the facts that no bacilli
have been discovered in fish; that
castles which never touch fish furnish
their due contingents of lepers, and
that the disease is not more rife in dis
tricts bordered by the sea and large
rivers than anywhere else. On the
other hand, leprosy is common in hill
tracts, where fish is very rare article
of food.
Mr. G. Conybeare, who some time ago
was apprehensive that leprosy was due
TO the high price of salt will be much
relieved to hear that, by statistics TO
which no exception can be taken on
the ground of inaccuracy, the con-
sumption Of salt is shown 10 be twice
as great as the increase OF the popula-
tion in twenty years; that Ryot spends
on salt about one penny month for
each of his family; and that II there
has been any perceptible addition
20 the number OF lepers II has oc-
Cured in provinces where the price OF
salt has fallen. other alleged causes
are mentioned To be summarily and
contemptuouslv dismissed.
Water. opium and mosquitoes have
each in turn been made responsible.
Now, the bacillus has never been found
in water, though the commissioners in
vain analysed the water of a filthy
tank in which crowds of lepers bathed.
Premature marriages and the con-
sumption of opium are not to blame,
and IL mosquitoes or flies could com
municate the disease after they had
sucked the blood of any lepers, Cal
cutie where these little pests abound
and der sleep, should be a perfect
leper lum.
On the question of infection and con-
tagion the report on "Lcp'osy in India"
affirms that, though leprosy may be
considered an infective disease caused
by specific bacillus, and also TO some
extent contagious disease" IL Is not
actively or usually diffused in this
way. Again, one might imagine that
leprosy must be hereditary. This as
sertion, IL not absolutely disproved, is
by no means certain.
Many lepers are sterile There is no
evidence that the marriage of lepers
with lepers or with non-leprous women

dren of lepers are often short-lived,
and, as far as returns can be depended
on, there is never more on an average
than a couple Of children to each mar

WOULDN'T FEEL SAFE IN JAIL.
why a Prisoner in McHenry County
Court Wanted Change OF Venue.

WHY Prisoner In McHenry County
Court Wanted "a Change OF Venue.
Judge Goggin came back the other
day from Woodstock, McHenry county,
where he had been holding court, with
q story he is telling with considerable
enjoyment.
Just before the judge went TO the
little county seat there had been Jail
delivery which excited the entire COM
munity. Four prisoners had with an
ordinary case knife cut a big hole
through what in the plan and specifi-
cations was known as the "steel plow"
of the Jail, and through this hole es-
capped A later examination showed
that the floor was only sheet tin, and
the only steal about it was in the
building.
While Judge Goggin was holding
court a man named McSweeney, a
horse thief, according to the McIIenry
county indictment, but accused of 9TH
er and more serious oifenses, came up
to be tried. lie was anxious TO get a
change of venue into Kane county,
where his trinl would be delayed, and
he asked for one.
HAS the court any prejudice against
you?" asked Judge Goggin in his most
judicial voice.

"Can not you secure an impartial
jury in this county?" again asked the
judge.
Yes. am not afraid of the jury"
Then why do you ask for a change
Of venue?"

replied McSweeney, hesitating, II do

A Bnly OF That Persuasion Gives n sad Rx-
nmnIn of Ihnt Condition.

ample of That Condition.
Look out dere, fellersr' shrieked a
touzzle-headed youngster, whose flying
bare feet were carrying him toward
the foot of West Fifty-frst street.
Look out dere, Billy's on tear"
There wasn't very much doubt about
Il. Billy's tear was extensive. IL led
him from the sidewalk TO the middle of
the street, and from the middle of the
street back TO the curb, along which he
tried to walk with as much comic dig
nifty as complete failure. IL led him TO
leap into the air with his feet together
and 10 come to earth again with his
feet helplessly limp and wide apart. 1t
led him to rush across the sidewalk
with his head dead set for fruit
stand, and then. before he got half
way across, plunge suddenly backward
down into German coobler's shop in
the basement. The cobbler gave the
intruder jab with his awl and Billy
flew out of the areaway like compact
rocket. scattering the crowd of yell
ing Youngsters that had gathered at
the top of the stairs and corlS-screwing
down the street like the propeller of
an Atlantic liner at full speed. There
was policeman at the corner, but he
made no effort to arrest the inebriate
or to check the procession. In fact, he
rather seemed to enjoy it and held on
to the railing that he might not double
up with laughter. For Billy was a goat
fallen into evil ways.

liceman with fin department accent,

But how does he get the beer?"
"Ahl it's a regular car-cauner that

Meanwhile Billy had charged his
pursuers twice, had overturned baby
carriage with twins in it, and tried to
get behind board fence by going
through it. But his legs were getting
shaky, and when he reached the empty
lot by the riverside he made last at
tempt to gather his beard into his
mouth with his tongue, tied iis front
feet together, threw one bleary, beery
wink at the cliffs of Weehawken and
gave faint bleat that ran into a hic-
cough and fell over. Billy was dead
drunk.-N. Y. sun.

The most important change in the
naming OF girls has been the growing
disinclination to give them more than
one name, the object of this being that
when a woman marries she may easily
combine her full maiden name with
her new surname. A three-word sig
nature is much prettier and more con-
venient than one composed of four
words. Then, too, immediate recogni-
tion Of her own, as well as that of her
husbands surname, and the conven-
fence in genealogical research and
legal transactions, are two reasons Of
sufficient importance 70 warrant the
combination were there no others.
With this fashion in girls names has
come, as in boys, disinclination 10
use diminutives or pet names. Mollies,
Maggies, Ksties and the various femi-
nine "ies" and ''ys" are as scarce
as their masculine oounterparts Jim

IHE JAPANESE DRINK.
HawaiIans Prefer saki to the Wine an
Beer of America

HawaiIans Prefer saki to the Wine and
Beer OF America.
The increased importation of Japan
ese saki has been the subject Of con-
sideration of the liquor importers for
some time past. The recent action of
the viticultural association Of Califor-
mia has brought this new favorite bev-
erage of the Hawaiians more pgomi-
nently TO the attention of Honolulu
liquor houses The mandatory resolu-
tions of the California wine manufac-
turers were rather a surprise party to
most OF the dealers here. They have
noted the growing demand for the
drink, but hardly expected such a de-
cided expression of sentiments TO which
the Californians recently gave voice.
There are fads in drinks as well as in
dry goods That beer and California
light wines have tickled a mans palate
for years past is no proof that they
will continue to do so for years TO come.
The average frequenter of barrooms is
looking for effects, and when he finds
that cheaper product will bring about
the same saiIbrious sensations In
short space of time he is inclined TO
turn from his California wine cups and
take TO the japanese. This is what
salSi has proved.
The figures OF the custom house con-
firm the statements OF the California
exporters The wines of the state
have been crowded out, their importa-
tion has fallen off TO a marked degree
during the past year. Saki importa-
tion has increased in much larger pro-
portion.
For 1898 the importation of California
wines TO this country amounted 10
116, 142 gallons. In 1898 these figures
had dropped to 0O,6s4 gallons, a de-
crease of 25,45s gallons, During 1898
there were 9,ss9 gallons OF saki i'm
ported TO this country For 1894 these
figures are 72,95s gallons. This gives a
net increase in favor of the saki Of 81
Oil gallons.
This showing gives evidence Of two
existing facts: That there is an in
creased substitution Of japanese wines
for those OF California; also that there
is increased consumption, presumably
on account Of the ability 10 obtain a
cheaper drink. These are facts that
at once interest the temperance agi-
tator and the importer of liquors II
is a notable fact that native Hawaiians
have taken very kindly 10 sald and
will often take it in preference TO the
ever-iaithful gin TO addle their brains.
Those in position 10 know say that
the effects Of the liquor are more dele
terious than any other OF a similar ma
ture on the market. Hawaiian Ga
