ETIQUETTE NOTES.
Some Hints on Correct Conduct for
the Ladies'.

True ladyhood is never more in ev-
idence than in public places, So true is
this that one may readily gauge the
status of a woman by her travelling man
ners.
The gentlewoman is also known by
her dress, not by its richness, but by its
suitability and fashioning.
The gentlewoman never INDUCES in
conspicuous dress; she avoids ecren-
tricity of style and "loudness' in col
oring, and observes moderation.
The gentlewoman's dress is so neu
trail when she walks abroad that it is
only noticeable for its quiet elegance
Her dress is not necessarily tailor-made
but it is neatly made and suitable fol
the street.
The gentlewoman does not don hel
sealskin or velvets and diamonds to GO
shopping or to order supplies for he
table, but this solecism is committed by
many women who know no better.
The gentlewoman never makes an,
display of jewels in the street; neithe
does she dress her hair in a fantast
fashion to attract attention, nor doe
she wear ultra styles in bonnets, hat
or other articles of apparel.
The true gentlewoman never make
use of slang phrases; she never indulge
in loud speech or boisterous laughte
| in the street, or in travelling convey
| ances; neither does she assume an al
| of unnatural stiffness or importance
'ler voice is pleasantly modulated, he
manner gracious and easy to he
equals, and kind and unassuming t

THE TRADE IN JEWsHARPs.


The cheapest jewsharDs come from
Germany and Austria, the medium and
finer grades from England, and the
very finest are now made in this coun-
try OF the total production, two-thirds
or more are made in England. Jews
harps are made in standard sizes, rang
ing in length from an inch and quarter
tC four inches. They are occasionally
made to order larger than that but a
four-inch iewsharp is good deal of a
iewsharp, and it may have a very mu-
steal tone. There are cheap jewsharps
which are sold ut retail for cent. y
four-inch imported iewsharp retails for
quarter of a dollar. An American
ewsharp of this size sells for so cents.
It's iron frame, or harp, is timed, and its
teel tongue is tipped with brass.
Besides being made of many sizes,
iewsharps are made with the harp part
1f various ornamental designs. jews
harps are not tuned to a key; but harps
If a desired key may be found. Com
nercially jewsharps rank not as mu-
steal instruments, but as toys. Many
'ewsharps are, however, used as mu-
steal instruments, and are played upon
by men, and not infrequently in cor
junction with musical instruments,
Jewsharps are sold more or less
throughout the country. Many are sold
in mining regions of the south and west
and wherever Hungarian and like la u
is employed. In such places it is not
unusual to find man playing pews-
harp while others play accordions and
| so on.
The total sales of jewsharps in this
country are not so large as they for

FOR WINTER WEAR.
Items of Dress for the Coming Sen
son.


Braiding will be a pronounced fea-
ture of fall and winter dressing. An Ell
fort is to be made to turn all the energy
that has been expended in summer
frills into braiding for the later seasons.
Stuffs are again to be almost concealed
in many rows of braiding; stitching Will
also flourish (it always does when braid
ing is in vogue) and again curious ma
teriaIs, woven to give the effect OF braid
ing. are offered. 1t must be noted IN
favor of braiding that skirts and
bodices grown little limp take on new
trimness and set when generously LIned
either with stitching or braid. The
lines should be many and close to-
gether, however.
Hearts will again be dangled from
neckchains this winter. The latest
| heart is crystal bound in gold, incloslns
four-leaf clover in the middle. An
other novelty is the introduction OF a
mirror into this modern acceptance OF
the once universal locket. Enameling
of all kinds is again in broad favor, and
will be seen in countless varieties
MANY of the revived Louis NV. designs
in iewelry lend themselves to the styles
of the present moment especially Tor
brooches and corsage designs. Bangles
of increasing amplitude are promised in
the revival of old-time fashions, which
seems to be predominating at present.
Furs. especially sable and chin"hil4a,
are fashionable garnitures for NIL
linery, and rich velvets and silks are
draped over soft frames, producing
wonderfully effective results. This
method of draping a hat cannot be de-
scribed: one must see it in the reality.

wasting Talk,

All human beings need instruction,
counsel, guidance in a greater or less
degree. No one person knows or can
know everything. Some through age,
experience and wisdom are qualified to
be counselors and advisers. Others will
not do this. They are Indifferent to
the welfare of those around them, and
allow them to go their way and take
the consequences. Others, more care
full and sympathetic, seek to save the
Young from the evils and troubles
which their experience might bring
upon them. Often, however, they labor
in VAIN; their advice is unwelcome and
their words are wasted. 1t is useless tC

youth who knows it already, and who
turns up pretty nose, and goes on re-

In his recollections of Robert E. Lee
as a College President" S. d. Meteor
mick cites the following instance of
quiet humor of the distinguished south
ern generals: Hewas an Episcopalian-
a vestryman of Grace church. Gen. Pen
dleton, his former chief of artillery, was
rector, and Gen. Smith, superintendent
of the Virginia military institute, was
also a vestryman.' The latter was not
on agreeable terms with the rector, and
complained to the officers of the church
that the cadets, among them his own
son, were DESERVING the church of their
fathers and that no persuasion could
keep them from attending DR.. Pratt's
church Presbyterian). The doctor
had very beautiful daughter, Grace,
and, while Gen. Smith was pushing his
objections to the rector, Gen. Lee, with
a twinkle in his eye, said to Smith:
General, possibly the magnet which

doctors eloquence as the doctors

OBJECTED TO UMBRELLAS.
Were Liable to Cause Trouble for tie
Deacon When Milking.


speaking about umbrellas" said
Butterwick, as he leaned back in his
comfortable armchair and watched the
crowd padding by il the rain, always
reminds me of pleasant little episode
that occurred some years ago when l
was free and careless farmer boy,
as the poet tells about, working for
good old Methodist deacon named
Boggs.
The deacon owned a COW that had
an annoying habit of switching her tau
while being MIXED, and as Boggs quite
naturally objected to being swatted
alongside of the head or having his hat
cuffed off every other second, he used
to serve an injunction on the tail-tlour-
ishing by tying the offending appendix
fast to his bootstrap when he sat down
to milk. Then he would go ahead and
extract the tactical fluid in peace, while
the astonished COW would shake her
| head and wonder why her switching APP
paratus didn't work with it accustomed
| freedom.
zone rainy day, when the deacon was
| milking away as usual, with the COWS
| continuation anchored to his boot
strap, | thoughtlessly walked in front
of her with an open umbrella, and the
| next instant the ancient but still able
bodied milk producer was plunging
wildly about the barnyard like brin-
die cyclone, while her owner, with his
head iammed through the bottom OF
the wooden milkpail and its contents dis
tributed partially over his person. was
hopping frantically along behind heI
IN one foot and imploringly shouting;
So, boss! So, boss! at every jump.

performance while it lasted, and en-
loved it immensely, or, at least, woulc

what Boggs might say when he go

With the discovery of the klondike'
with all it's winter privations, comes also
the practical discovery of fish found
along the Alaskan shores which it is
said will furnish food, light, heat and
medicine to the prospectors who have
zone into the new Ell Dorado. This
fish is of the smelt variety, but larger
and fatter. They are caught in nets
easily and on being caught arr found
TO be of a rich green color on the back
yariegated with blue and with golden
reflections on the belly. On being held
up to the light they are almost trans
parent. On being caught these fish are
dried and stored When the Alaskan Is
showed in and without light he simply
inserts the tail of one of these fish in
crack in the table and touches match
to its nose. 1t gives out clear three
candle power light. The backbone is
largely formed of phosphorus, which
not only causes it to ignite easily, but
also accounts for the strength of the
fame and the heat developed. The sub
stance of the fish, largely fat, retards
the rapid burning, as the tallow acts
in an ordinary candle. The fish is also
valuable as food. Still another use tc
which it may be put is as substitute
| for cod liver oil, which, aiding the nat
uraI heat Of the body, serves to protect
against the severe cold. 1t is to be
hoped that scientists will discover 1
way by which the skin of this fish may
be made into clothing and its backbone
sbarpcued into miners picks.-Phiia

Several columns of delectabfe literary
matter had been crowded out and as
many heartaches resulted. Mrs. De-
Laney, who had written an article on
"Lunaville's Love Tales" came into the

l had told all my friends, Mrs. Crackle,

She did not wait to find out that no
