ROADS agree TO the schedule, it is finally

GU see, the President personally has
very lite voice in the matter. He
must pass through certain places en- route
10 his destination. Public sentiment de-
mands that he stop for five minutes here
and for half an hour there. Between
THESE stops, the speed capacity of the
raIlroad must be considered, and the
President seldom travels at the highest
rate Tor fear of accident. AT the end Of
the route the President has to go through

ing and Sightseeing arranged for him by

President Harrison and President Cleve-
land always took newspaper correspond

ldent Mckinley so far has refused to do
so ana his secretaries have made up a
report OF the incidents of the trips 10 be
given TO the press. with copies of the
RESIDENTS speeches at the large cities
where the Presidents train stops. Tho
speeches are not prepared, except for i'm
portant occasions. The President has his
own stenographer take note of what he
says in his impromptu speeches and then
carefully revises the manuscript All
this business is handled for him by his
private secretary, George B. Cortelyou,
who always accompanies him.
The President chooses the members of
his party. With the exception of the
train crew, every man or woman aboard is
his guest One feature Of the expense of
the journey the President usually pays
for. 1t is the provisioning of his cae.
1t is no small part of the cost of a trip,
for in much of the sparsely settled west
ern country through which President Nc
Kinley must necessarily pass on his next
train 1t is a matter of pride with the
car cook to put an elaborate meal before
the President three times a day, so when
the car is stocked the best of everything
is taken aboard. But even that is not a
very serious expense 10 man who lives

RELATIONSHIPS OF CHOICE.

In Crete a curious custom exists. A
number of young men Of village
choose from among the girls one whom,
with the consent of their parents. they
make the head of their fraternity. Tho
occasion is solemn as well as festive.
The youths are arranged in circle
round their chosen queen by the priest,
who holds a religious service and finally
dismisses the assembly with his bless
ing.
From henceforth the girl is sister T.
the young men, who regard one another
as brothers bound by an oath to pro
tect her from harm. Lovemaking be
tween the girl and her adopted brothers
is not to be thought OF. for she is SO
much their sister that not one OF them
might marry her.

ETIQUETTE OF CARDS.

The etiquette of card leaving is really
quite simple. but. nevertheless. it is
often misunderstood.
Young girls do not have cards OF their
own, but share those of their mother,
under whose name their own appears
When n girl is no longer young enough
to require chaperonage, she has a card
to herself. And the same thing hap
pens in the case of the young lady jour-
nal.st or other professional woman. A
large number OF her visits would be on
matters Of business. when chaperonage
would not be required, and. therefore.
her mothers name on her card would
be quite out of place.
Only when making a business call
should one ever send in card by the
servant. but 1t would be quite correct
to do this when calling on an editor or
publisher at his Office or when calling
on lady to ask for the character of a
servant.
p. p. c. and p. D. A. written on the
cards seem to puzzle some people. These
initials stand for pour prendre congo"
and pour dire adieu' and signify that
the owner of the cards desires to say
goodby. 1t is customary. when one is go
Ing awayfor any length of time. to leave
or send these cards to ones acQuaint-
ances They may be sent by post, If de-
sired.
/ When paying call, n married lady
would leave Two of her husbands cards
and one OF her own on married cou-
/ pie II she found the mistress of the
house out. If she saw her. she would
merely place n couple of her husbands
cards in the hall on leaving the house.
\ Eentlcman's card is never left on a
young unmarried lady, and in no case
Shpltll no ba
of his card. for there might be some
young ladies' in the house, and it would
be thought that he meant his card for
them. The Specification of the turned
down corner is that the card is intend
ed TO include all the ladies' of the FAM
lily.
y daughter often leaves cards for her
parents. but she lets her brother do his
card leaving for himself. Aiotherless
young girls have their names on the
cards of the aunt or any relative who
chaperons them, or. ii they are living
alone with their father, their names are
/ printed on his card beneath his own,
the card in this case being the size OF q
| lady's visiting card. Young sisters liv-
| ing together and chaperoning them
selves would have The Misses Dash"
on a card. which would include as many
of the party as We're out.
Cards are left after nearly all enter
tainments except garden parties, but
these should be left in person and not
sent through the post. Except after u
dinner party it is not necessary to ask
whether the hostess is at home. 1t Is
quite sufficient to hand In the cards to
the servant, saying. For Mrs. Blank"
Card leaving is chiefly practiced
among mere acquaintance, real friends
being less ceremonious in the matter.

SMALL MINDED WOMEN.

The small minded woman gives great
Importance to little matters and has Il
way of dressing up insignincance in an
obtrusive garb till after a time she be-
gins to seriously believe 1t is as impor
tant rs she has made II appear. When
She arrives at that stage. her mental
state is a misery not only 10 herseif,
but to other people She may be an en-
crgetc. economical housewife and n
loving wife and mother. but for all that
the home over which she presides will
be almost unhearable. so trihing will be
the mental and spiritual atmosphere
she has created there. Duty by her is
not merely faced. but becomes an in
strument of torture. and the work and
service of daily life, which might be
done cheerfully. is made heavy task
TO herself and others by her slaviSh de-
votion to unimportant details.
Even large minded women lose their
sense OF proportion when they are over
worked and exhausted. physically and
mentally, and decline to take proper
rest and recreation. Ii only our home
makers would realize the Importance OF
even half hours absolute rest in the
day, what a difference 1t would make
to the happiness OF life.
II, when the tired hands and body
were resting, the mind were occupied
with good and pleasant thoughts. how
much the better and wiser Il woman
would become. 1t would be we'll. there

| one OF her favorite writer's. 1t is per-
fectly astonishing how much richer one
is for the thoughts OF good and noble
people. and one can find these within
the covers of many of the books which
we rarely lift from their places. perhaps.

may be that the stars which had nodded
their fatcs we're at that hour high in
the ascendant, for in her character

cation OF the other.
All Of this was unthought OF by the
merry two who guided their way

saw an old Scotch shepherd laboriously
looking after his sheep.

night. for his legs broken, and he'll
never be of use again"
Poor Cap" said the girl. the tears
coming to her gray eyes, for the dog
had been one of her friends "Oh. Rog-
er. How could you leave HIM alone in
his pan?" DO tell me where he is"
you can't do any good, missy" the
! old shepherd said sorrowfully. But
he's lying in the shed. over there"
The old vicar. whose companion she
sometimes was. as today. on visits to
the poor. followed her to the shed.
where she was soon kneeilng beside the
moaning animal, soothing and caresa-
ing It.
"Is there nothing we can do for him ?"
she asked, looking up ut The vicar. who
was something OF physician and had
been hastily examining the wounded

said judicially. What it needs is the
application of hot congresses"
IF you'll tell me how. I'm sure could
attend to it, I'm so fond Of Cap, you

When the war was over and after two
years the time came for her to leave the
great barrack hospital. England wished
to give her public welcome. but such
thing was alien to her taste and was
avoided by the heroine slipping into
England unexpectedly under an as
sumed name and declining to come out
OF her retirement at Lea Hurst. Only
the command OF her sovereign to visit
her at Balmoral could induce her to
leave home. and after Victoria had
thanked her in the name OF the English
people and decorated her with a splen-
did medal she went back TO Derbyshire.
The two years OF work in the east had
permanently injured her health, and
since then she has been more or less OF

English people presented to her was ac-

founding of a training school for nurses,
