SCHOOL OF DECORuM.
Influence of the Fine Manners of the
Olden Time.


In the days of our grandmothers,
William of Wykeham's motto, Man
ners maketh Name" was held to APP
ply to the making of woman. In those
days the imperative law of lady's in
ner life and outer habits was expressed
by one word, ''decorum. That music
al word ruled every movement of her
body, and dictated the training each
girl should receive to qualify her for
what Miss Cobbe calls ''the great Art of
Society,"" a
1t did not beget, says Youths Com
panion, the abrupt-speaking, courtesy
neglecting, slouching, slangy young
''damcsel," who is never called
blessed" But it did produce women
gifted with old-fashioned suavity, and
with the tact which made everybody in
a company, even the humblest, happy
and at ease. Miss Cobbe, in her Life, "
describes a trivial incident which illus
trates the kind of influence exercised
by women of the old school of "de-
corum."
A hale, genial young fellow, named
Warburton, was guest at the house of
Miss Cobbe's father. One rainy day he
was prompted by silly young lady
guest to sing several comic songs in
the drawing-room, the point of the
jokes being the advances of women to
men.
Miss Cobbe's mother, old and feeble,
fter listening quietly for time,
slowly rose from her sofa, walked pain
fully across the room, and leaning
over the piano said in her gentle way
few strong words of remonstrance.
She could not bear, she said, that
men should ridicule women. Respect
and chivalrous feeling for them, even
when they were foolish and ill-advised,
were the part, she thought, of a gen.
erous man. She would beg Mr.. War.
burton to choose some other songs for
his fine voice.
All this was done so gently, with her
sweet, kind smile, that no one could
take offense. Mr.. Warburton was
far from doing so. He was touched
with tender reverence for his aged
monitress, and rising hastily from the
piano made the frankest apologies,
which were instantly accepted.
The incident illustrates the kind of
influence exercised by the fine man.
ners of women of the old school. But
it is also an illustration of Emerson's
aphoristic sentence: Zine manners
need the support of fine manners in
Others" If Mr.. Warburton had been
an ill-mannered cad, he would have
left the piano in huff; but being a
gentleman of the old school he re-
ceived the merited rebuke with rever-
entail humility.

AMERICAN STREET RAILWAYS.
Immense Sums Invested In These Means
of Urban Transportation.

The great Importance of the street
railway interests of this country is
shown in a striking manner by some of
the statistics. While incomplete, says
the Street Railway Journal, the figures
are believed to be accurate within 5
per cent. and are surprising in many
respects. New York has the greatest
amount of track, 1853 miles, or more
than in all New England. Pennsylva-
MIA comes next, with 1,422 miles, then
Ohio, with LOTT miles, Massachusetts,,
with 800 miles and Illinois with 951
miles. The order of states arranged
with regard to the number of cars is:
New York, Glib; Illinois, 5,s15; Penn
sylvania, 4,O21; Massachusetts, $500,
and Ohio 1884. But this order is en-
tirely changed when the number of
cars per mile of track is taken into con-
sideration, for on this basis of arrange
ment the District of Columbia heads
the list with 6.49 followed by Illinois
with 6.12, New York with $40, Nilsson
ri with AGA and Massachusetts, with
400. The greatest capitalization per
1t is ss1, 700 in Pennsylvania s7S, 400 in
Rhode Island, $69, 900 in Illinois and
SOS, 100 in Louisiana. The funded debt
per mile of track is largest in New
York, where 1t is 500, 700, and other
high figures are s72, 400 in Rhode
Island, SOL, 800 in New Jersey, s5s,sOO
in Illinois and ISL, 600 in both Missouri
and Maryland. The total capital LA
bilities per mile of track are s207,-
100 in New York, s146,s00 in Rhode
Island, sl29, 400 In New Jersey, s12s,5OO
In Illinois, s116,700 in Missouri and
s11S,400 in Louisiana. The banner
states in the matter of capitalization
are Mississippi, Florida, South Dakota
and New Hampshire, whose combined
capital stock and funded debt amount
to less than $4,000 per mile of track,
while enormously valuable metropoli-
tan properties in New York naturally
gave that state its leading position.
