Dinner Party Etiquette.

A dinner party is a formal function
and specially demands dignity Of man
ner. writes Ruth Ashmore in the La
dies Home Journal. If the continental
fashion Is followed, and ladies and gen
tlemen leave the dining room at the
same time. you go out as you came in
IL the English fashion obtains. and the
gentlemen remain to smoke and talk
rise when your hostess gives the signal
stand quite still until you see your
chaperon. ana then fall in line behind
her, passing. not too quickly. the gen
tlemen. who are all standing up, and al
lowing you to walk out before them
Learn to walk we'll and not to "trot.
A dinner invitation should be acknowl-
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 q
dinner engagement, and even then a
polite man would send the undertaken
to apologize for him."

The English Sparrow.

The first English sparrow wa:
brought to the United States in 1850
but it was not until 1870 that the spe
cies can be said to have firmly estab
lished itself. Since then it has taker
possession of the country. Its fecundity
is amazing. In the latitude of New
York and southwark 1t matches, as 6
rule, five or six broods in a season, with
from four to six young in brood. AS.
suming the average annual product Of
pair to be twenty-four young, o.
which half are females, and hal
males, and assuming further, for the
sake of computation, that all live. to-
gether with their offspring, it will bs
seen that in ten years. the progeny Of
single pair would be 275, ZIG, ,9S3, ,69S.

THE HAREM AND SLAVERY

4 Slave Is Submissive. Obedient and Anl
ious to Please Her Lord and Master.
For the service of the harem as at
present constituted slaves are indis-
oensable, 1t being unlawful for a free
Moslem woman 10 appear unveiled be-
'ore any man not a near relative, while
% 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 1t formerly was. and is
carried on to a great extent by ladies
If rank, some of whom are themselves
,mancipated slaves. says the Nineteenth
Century. In addition to the negresses
and other women of unattractive ex-
:erior, 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, a
very expensive matter for young
bridegroom and his parents, owing to
the lavish outlay in presents and en-
tertainments required by custom on
suoh occasions. Consequently If faith
sr cannot afford to marry his son to
maiden of his own rank, he purchases
Tor him 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 obe-
dent to. and anxious to please her lord
and master, has no troublesome pre-
tensions or caprices, and no interfer-
Ing relatives to take her part agains!
him. A free woman, on the other hand
Is by no means always disposed to
have. according to her own expression
neither mouth nor tongue" She is fully
aware Of her rights, and inclined 20 as
sert them, and the moral support af-
forded by her family gives her an as
surance which the husband often finds
extremely inconvenient.

Earth and Mercury.

The present visit of Enck's comet
has. in the skilled hands OF BackluLd,
placed Mercury. so to speak, in the
weighing scale. We have thus learn
ed that this globe. though no doub'
a considerable one, is still much less
than the earth. Enck's comet de-
monstrates that thirty globes as mas.
sive as Mercury would be required to
weigh as much as the earth.

The leading railroad in Connection,
has applied to the Legislature to pro.
hibit the construction OF electric
roads between towns now connected
by steam lines. 4 table has been
submitted showing that the suburban
traffic of the steam roads in some
cases has been almost entirely lost.
The points urged are that the legiti.

are disregarded and that the electric
roads are infringing on the genera
