there may well be grave doubts. The mandate
of the new Constitution on Civil Service Is
perfectly clear, and the courts have already
shown disposition to insist that the spirit OF
the amendment shall be observed. Prompt
measures, will be taken to bring the decision or

Neglect or Cruelty.

The fact that there are Other weys
of treating horse cruelty besides
thrashing him or overlooking him is
something that every one does not
realize. Neglect is often the cFuelest
kind of torture. Exposure to flies and
insects in summer, want of water, IN
wholesome feeding and badly fitting
harness, that causes sores of all sorts.
are only a few of the cruelties that
neglect causes in warm weather. In
the winter time the case is often hard
er. 1t is stated on good authority that
the life of horse is reduced by hard
ship TO one-third Of the time in which
it might be made useful. Though it is
oftener the case with city than farm
horses that they are carted off TO tho
bone-yard at eight years old, worn out
and not worth keeping alive. still on the
farm the average life of the horses II
much shortened by careless neglect.
But the fact that il does not pay 70
neglect a horse ought not TO be the
only nor the strongest motive toward
treating him we'll. No other animal
works so patiently, with so much in
telligence. nor with so much real graf
itude for kindness, as the horse. 1t Is
mans plain duty TO treat HIM kindly
and carefully.-Farm, Field and Stock

ETIQUETTE IN SPAIN.
There the People Are Always PuncriI
fously Polite.

There the People Are Always Puncsih
iousiy Polite
Spaniards have some rules of etiquette
that would prove surprising to the aver
age easy-going American. Take, fos
instance, the rules governing visits.
When the first call is made by a lady
she is expected to arrive in a carriage,
that being considered a mark of high
respect. Should the person called upon
be absent from home, the visitor is e1.
pccted to leave her card with one end
turned over, and in one corner is to be
written the initials Z. p, meaning en-
persona, or in person. Upon ringing
the bell the visitor is usually greeted
by an unseen person with the words,
"Quien es ~ or who's there?" towhich
should be replied "Gente de paz," or
persons of peace. Entering. the visitor
is conducted to the best room in tho
house, led to a sofa and placed to the
right of the hostess. On rising to take
leave the proper form is to exelaim, In
the case of lady: Sonora, place my
self at your feet" She will answer in
a similarly fgurative way by saying:
81 kiss your hand; may you depart with
God and continue we'll" Feminine Wis.,
lisa are saluted with kiss, both upon
their arrival and departure. 1t is con-
sidered an objectionable breach OF good
manners for q gentleman to offer 70
shake hands with q Spanish lady. An.
other decidedly Objectionable proceed
ing, in Spanish eyes, is to offer lady
one's arm when walking with her,
Should a Spanish gentleman so far for.
pet himself a. to offer his arm 10 hie
wife he would be looked upon al lament.
ably ignorant OF the laws of etiquette
governing good society in the land Of
his birth.
Another noticeable custom h that
when walking with Spania1'd. in Spain,
IL is considered the height of ill-man'
ners to walk on the inside. This is the
place of honor and should always be
given to the native When q well-brcd
Spaniard meets Q lady on the street he
always passes to the outside, thus nak-
i.,g 7ay for her: but with men this rule
is not observed; whoever has the wall
on his right hand in the narrow streets
is entitled to keep 1t.
These are some of the most noted PEI
culiarities of the rigorous rules gor-
'erning Spaniaris of polite breedinr;
they are punctilious almost 10 the point
OF absurdity IN most things. but their
poiiteness Is of kind that wears well

Heraldry.

In all civilized foreign nations Q
knowledge of heraldry is considered by
many an important element in higher
refinement and culture; in earlier days,
according to Thackeray, it formed
part of the education OF most noble
ladies and gentlemen" In architec'
ture, literature and the fine arts, her.
sldry is a powerful adjunct and the
correct application of it's rules is just
as surely required as other detail OF
such work. Even trihing attention to
the rudimentary laws of this great sci
ence might have prevented many blum.
ders, unfortunately but too indelibly
recorded through the Indifference OF
ignorance of architects, authors end
artists. This, alas, is especially the case
in America, and the necessity for sons
law and order has become apparent.
That we have had n recognized heraldrJ
almost from the date of the country's
settlement cannot be denied; and,
though its precepts have long been dis.
obeyed, the time has arrived when PEG
pie begin to recognize this fact and
seek instruction upon the subject.-Eu
gene Zeber, in Lippincott's.
