Advice to q BUDDING Journalist.

Reference has rightly been made to Mr..
Sala's kindness to journalistic beginners.
Here is what G.. a. 5. wrote some years
ago to "a correspondent on the subject of
tho best education for n journalist:
"First.-Lenrn shorthand thoroughly,
and when you have mastered it, advertise

Second. Learn rs many foreign Ian

Latin and Greek you have learned at

"Third.-Rcnd MS many books ON as

oess to and copy into "a big book suoh pas

fashionable and expensive. Thon there is
tho usual collection of impossibly brilliant
veilings, tho most pronounced specimen
having green chenille spots. For good
tasto and bccomingncss black silver gray

the palm, however.
Fashion Sill demands that tho hair DO
loose and waved in front md gathered in
TO n round knot at tho back of tho head.
This Knot is high or low, according to tho
hat to be worn over it. Chains of pearls
ara again seen woven through tho hair as
tho hcroines of old romance used to wear
them, but high hair ornaments are pre-
fcrred as being moro "smart," smartness
being tho standard by which everything is
now measured.
The sketch shows n cloth cape adorned
with novel rcvers IL finished around tho
neck with n medici collar of velvet match
ing the cloth in color. 1t Is trimmed with
stitching and has six pearl buttons in

Twin Suns.

The star Alphn Conteuri-thc nearest
star to tho earth as for rs we yot know
consists, rs tho telescope shows, of W
suns, ono of which is five or six tiInos
brighter tina tho other. But rccont OBJ
sorvations by Mr.. Roberts at the Capo of
Good Hope observatory have lsd him to
the conclusion thnt tho two c~omponents of
Alpha Contauri, much ae they differ In
brightness, are really nearly equal In
weight. Together thoy arc twice as heavy
as our sun. 1t seems to follow from those
facts that ono of those twin suns is losing
Its light, and In the course of ages may be-
como only q gigantic Opaque planet, while
its companion will still continue to blaze
with solar splondor.

1.-THE RULES OF clvILITY.n
Good Breeding as 1t Was Taught In the
Old DAYS.

Old Days.
The author Of q quaint little book pub
lishcd in England in tho year 1885, though
manifestly of French origin, defines civil
ity rs "a science that teaches us to dispose
OF our words and actions in their proper
and just p%laccs.' With this definition,
based, as he honestly confesses it TO DO, up
on tho experience of tho ancients, no ono
will feel disposed to quarrel. 1t is only
WHOM we como to examine tho fruits Of
this philosophy that we feel tempted to en-
ter n mild protest. Hear, for instance, tho
funny way i'll which tho author of "Thc
Rules OF Ciyility'' warns his contempora-
ries against making too abrupt an entry
into the presence Of n great person. Rule
3 says: "At the door of his chamber or
closet 1t would be rude to knock. We arc
only to scratch, and when in o kings or q
princes lodgings name is demanded
by any of tho officers VIC must give him
our surnamcs only without tho addition OF
master"
Apropos Of ladies, the author Of The
Rules of Civi!ity" tells us that "it is NOT
becoming Of {; person of quality, when in
tho company of ladies, to handle them
roughly, to kiss them by surprise, to pull
off their hoods, to snatch away their hand
kerchlcfs, 10 rob them of their ribbands
n put them in.o his hat, to force their
letters or books from them or to look into
their papers, " etc.
With regard to the subject of "what we
1To to G5servo at tho table" our author has
many amusing things to shy. ''If q per-
son Of qualitl," says he, desires you to
help him wi Ii anything that is to be
carved with q spoon, you must by no
means mako uso Of you w spoon, il
you have CA Oh anything with it, but
cnll for anoth n, "unless ho sends his own
spoon along With his plato, where there
will DO no oc nsion for yours" "If wo
eat out of tn dish, we must have q care
of putting il our spoons before our superb
ors, or of eating out of any other port of
tho dish than shat which is directly before
u.s." "Hayi, & served yourself with your
spoon, you III ist remember to wipe it, and
Indeed as oftc rs you use it. for some are
30 nice that 1ncy will not eat potage or
anything of mt nature in which you put
your spoon uiwipod after you have put
1t into your n.outh."-St. James Gazette.

Emperor and Dunplings.

An aneodotew which was current of Ferdi-
nand / of Austria ut one time greatly de-
lighted his subjects and gave rise to a COM
mon snying. One summer day ho was
hunting in the Syrian mountains and was
overtaken by n violens Thunderstorm. He
sought refuge In Il farmhouse whose occu-
pants were just then at dinner, and his
fancy was caught by some smoking dump
lings, made of coarse -four. He tasted them,
Liked them and asked for more, and when
he got back to Vienna, to the horror Of tho
royal cooks, he ordered tho same dumplings
to be served up daily.
The courtiers were scandalized that such
q coarse dish should figure on the menu,
and even his physicians demonstrated
against tho use of suoh food.
Tho emperor had always boon the most
pliant Of men, but he now showed that he
had Is will of his own and persisted in
gratifying his new fancy. Finally the
physicians pretended TINT it was dangerous
to his health to DO living on dumplings
and insisted on his giving them up.
The hitherto docile sovereign stamped
his foot N declared that he would never
sign another official document If his diet
wero denied him.
Emperor 1 am" he shouted, land
dumplings L will bavo!"
To prcvcnt n stoppago of the governments
machinery opposition was withdrawn, and
his majesty chung tcnnciously to his dump
lings. Then tho imperial phrase became
provorbial, and thereafter, when any ono
insisted on gratifying IA silly within, some
ono was sure to say:

IN later he broke out again. whats

eyes began to roll. So it went through tho
whole town. Blake corrected Jnmison ut
every turn. When they all got back to tho
hotel, Jamison had q strange, drawn OK
preston ON his face, but nobody paid much
attention to him. He went into the din

Tho waiter stared Mt him, and somebody

LONDON. Sept. l9.-The foreign office
has given out the following semi.ofi.
Clal note:
The outburst of the continental press
against Great Britain, v hich is &C.
cused of selfish designs in the East, has
astonished official circles. Nothing
that is being done OF contemplated by
the government could give the slightest
color to such assertions,
The government cannot hold itself
responsible for the natural horror inev.

lie by the atrocities at Constantinople.
The policy of Great Britain has, how.
eyer, undergone no change whatever,
and the government is
Acting In Complete Accord
with the other powers, as 1t has hith
erto done.
Nevertheless, 1t is becoming obvious
that the public feeling in Great Britain
has been SO outraged by the shocking
events in Constuntinople that the gov.
eminent would never be supported in
again siding with the porte. If the
powers cannot see their way to adopt
means to cooperate 10 end the carnage.
the only curse open to Great Britain Is
to stand aside and to hope for a more
satisfactory state of affairs"
