GOOD MANNERS AT HOME.
Some of the Little Things That Make
 Life Sweeter and Better.

Practical jokes are rarely indulged in by persons of nice perceptions, and teazing passes the bounds of good fun on all sides. Inquisitiveness is always bad form. When is your let ter from?" What makes your eyes so red?" are interferences with ones rightful privacy. A closed door should clusion.
 One who is so disloyal as to repeat to any outsider, however intimate, any thing to the discredit of the family de- serves to forfeit all family rights and privileges.
 There are no terms strong enough to condemn the vanity of parents who will allow a daughters charms, pros poets and advantages to be advertised in the public prints.
 Society requires. that whatever their private relations, husband and wife face the world as a unit, harmonious and with interests identical.
 One thing good form imperatively de mandsAthat by no mischance, no loss of self-contrOI, shall family discords be revealed to strangers, children or ser wants.
 An uncontrolled voice is always un- mannerly and undignified.
 A readiness to give up in little things is the most tactful appeal possible for a return of courtesy at other times when the matter may be of importance to us.
 Personalities that are made to do duty as family jokes are never funny to strangers.-Mrs. Burton Kingsland in the December Ladies' Home Journal.

GENEROUS SIR ARTHUR.

Of the late Sir Arthur Sullivan's charitable doings many instances are forthcoming. One secretary of a Sun day school in a poor Westminster dis trict relates that he risked a penny stamp on an apepal to Sir Arthur for a supcripton to the schools annual day in the country. There was no special claim on the musician but the latter sent half guinea, and thereafter never forgot to repat the gift year by year.

EVERYTHING LOVELY.

The world is as bright today as when The Lord in the heavens made it; There are more birds singing in every
 glen,
 And more bright roses braid it. It has less of sorrow and less of strife, Whatever they say or sing you; And more of love and more of life, The beautiful seasons bring you.

c. CAMBPBELL AT WEST POINT.

The late Quinltin Campbell, the well known newspaper man, while a cadet was second in the hardest, longest fight that ever took place at West Point academy. PugiHsts of today could get some pointers on pluck and endurance from the perusal of the story of that fight. Cadet Schenck, son of General Poker Schenck, fought Cadet Black in Battery Knox. The fight lasted siXty-two rounds, and at the end neither man was able to come to time. They were taken on stretchers to the hospital, and were carried on the sick report by the good naltureG surgeon as bruised in battery drill. Chicago Times Herald.

A PENNY-PULLER.

A Washington street urchin has a novel way for getting pennies. He of- fers to guess in which hand you place a penny, he to forfeit a pennp if he fails to guess. He shuts his eyes while the penny is being placed. Then he rubs each of his mddle fingers on the pavement and examines them closely. If the right finger is the bldcker the penny is in the right hand, and vice versa. He rarely loses.

FOR PLOWSHARES.

A dispatch to a London newspaper from Rome says that the Pope has or dered about 150000 old swords, halberds spears and battleaXes in the vatican be melted and the iron sold. A furnace for the purpose has been erected in the vatican gardens. The weapons are use less except as curios, and cost a great deal to keep them polished.

The Rivers Birthplace Is Wrapped

The birthplace of the Rhine is wrap ped In mystery. It is given to few to dam with their fingers the first trick lings of a great river. How many English have traced the shy Thames to her source, or the Mersey? Re search is apt to be tedious. To most of us, as to our artist, NJ.

ritual murder cannot be sustained against the Jews. He points out that the Jewish Scriptures contain nothing to justify such an accusation. The Jews are not allowed to taste the blood of an- imals in their food. How, then, could they touch human blood? The Bishop refers to the sad experience connected with similar agitations on previous oc- casions, and warns the clergy in ener- getic terms that they can have no other result than to incite the ignorant pop
 ulace to the commission of outrages. Finally, he informs them that the judi cial inquiry concerning the alleged case of Nameszto had proved conclusively that there was not the least foundation for the reports circulated, and that a most interruptions attempt had been made to provoke popular prejudice.

ARTIFICIAL SILK.

We may not need the silkworm much longer. The manufacture of silk by the
 Chardennet process is making notable
 progress. A company for the manufac- ture of silk by this process has lately
 been formed in England, and the output
 of the machinery to be installed is stat
 ed at seven thousand pounds a week
 As long ago as 1888 Pelouze discovered
 the first stages in the manufacture of artificial silk which consists in the ni-
 tration of the cotton or wood pulp pro-
 ducing pyroxylene. In this operation the greatest care is required, as it is the most important in the whole process. A few molecules of hydrogen are dis placed by nitric peroxide and several varieties of pyroxylene are obtained by using different mixtures of acid. The pyroxylene is then placed in cylinder with a mixture of alcohol and ether and so as to dissolve the pyroxylene and pro- duce collodion. This collodion is filter ed under pressure and is then fed to the spinning machine from reservoirs under a pressure of from forty to forty-five atmospheres In this machine there are a series of pipes terminating in a fine capillary tube, through which the collo- dion is forced. When it comes into con tact with the air it solidifes and twelve to twenty four of the threads so pro- duced are run together onto a bobbin as is done with natural silk. The material at this stage is very inflammable, and before it can be used for textile goods it

 unless they are wise enough to buy them.

Here is one of this class, a French flannel garment striped in lavender and white. It's white fan nel front piece was held by steel but tons.

HELP F0R IRISH BARMERs.

Little has been heard in this country
 of the operations of the Irish Agricul-
 tural Organization Society, but 1t has
 done and is doing great work. It
 goes into Ulster and other counties
 where the dairy interest is large and | organizes cooperative dairy societies
 similar to the creamery associations of | the United States. It goes into Con- naught and other counties where live especially attended to, and organizes agricultural societies which bring about concerted action in the community in the purchase of supplies, the prepara- ton and sale of products, the improve ment of breeds and the community use of the more expensive agricultural ma chinery. It goes into other sections and organizes poultry societies, which bring about joint effort in the packing of eggs and their sale, as well as the sale of poultry, in the local and English mar kets It sends out to these societies ex- perts in the various lines of farm work, who give instruction in respect to the best methods of procedure and who con- duct experimental work in untried lines. In 1889 the organization consisted of one society of 50 members. It now em- braces 374 societies, with total mem bership of 366S3.
 In line with this work is the system of agricultural cooperative banks or ganized on what is we'll known in Ger many as the Raiffeisen plan. These in- stitutions somewhat resemble the CO., operative banks or building societies of the United States, but they lend money among members of the banking society without pledge of mortgage or other property security-simply on the per sonal note of the borrower, indorsed perhaps by one or two other members. When a loan is asked for inquiry is the situation of the petitioner, and when granted must be devoted to the specified object.

 This artificial silk is extensively used in the manufacture of mantles for in- candescent lights, as the salts of the rare metals may be mixed with the col lodion with greater economy than with any other thread. The factories at Be sancon, France, which now produce seven thousand pounds of artificial silk per week, are being enlarged so as to manufacture two thousand pounds a day In Germany and Belgium other factories are also to be established in the near future.

FASHION NOTES,
The Color Question is Important

Consideration of shirt waists is seasonable all the year round. It's a pity that some other pleasing fashions don't take on the same permanency
 For that matter there's change enough in shirt waist styles. The chief point to study now is it's color, for the gen. eral cut of the garment is now pretty well settled Reds are much worn, but are to be avoided, this positively, ex- cept in the finest materials, and either made with absolute simplicity after the tailor fashion, or else elaborated along the most fanciful lines. White satin, white silk, velvet, corduroy and cloth, as well as lace, keep their hold in waists. This is proved not only by the great number of such that are import

ALFRED r. BURR.

Alfred F. Burr, senior editor of the
 Hartford Times, yesterday ceased from
 his labors and from the pain with
 which he had for many years been af- 1 f1icted. His life was uncommonly long,
 busy, influential and useful. He began
 active work in 1S27 at the age of 12,
 when he set out to master the printers i trade. He did a vast amount of work
 in the 72 years which were given him to work in. It did not take him
 long to find his true place In the world
 He knew what he wanted and he had the ability, the energy and the persist
 ence to get it. Only twelve years af-
 ter he began to learn the printers trade he became manager and half own
 CT of the Hartford Weekly Times, and
 In two years after that he became the
 sole owner of the paper and began the
 publication of the Daily Times With
 unceasing and well directed industry,
 and with great ability and sagacity, he
 then went to work to build up the pa
 per whose success has been such con-
 spicuous evidence of his zeal and skill.
 MT. Burr made himself felt imme-
 diately in his daily paper, and as the
 paper grew he grew in influence and
 power until the time came when per
 haps no man in Connecticut had more real strength He was very thorough and hearty Democrat and he enjoyed the friendship and the confidence of many of the great Democrats of the country. He was wise in politics, and also extremely efficient therein. He was quietand tolerant, and yet great man. ager. Though not apt to seek trouble he could be aggressive, and he wouldn't sacrifice principle for expediency. He could build solid party platform and make a most persuasive speech in a political convention, or anywhere else. For many years the platforms of his party in this State were mainly his work. He helped many to office but sought no office for himself. His po- litical influence was felt in the national conventions of his party as well as in the State conventions.
 Mr. Burr not only attained great po- litical power. He also became promi- nent factor in the business and social life of Hartford. His good sense, his wisdom, his uncommon business abili- ty, his public spirit and his benevolence were all freely exercised for the benefit of the community in which he lived and which he loved. He did much that was valuable for Hartford, and he also did much that was valuable to the State His work as chairman of the commission that built the capitol with in the appropriation made for it was service of kind that deserves and has had remembrance.
 Throughout all his long and success full life Mr. Burr remained, in the best | sense of the words, a man of the peo- pie. He did not put on any airs, was always approachable, and ready to | give counsel and help. He was just and | kind to his employees, loving and devot- ed to his family, and reliable and | stable in friendship. He was deeply | religious and prolific in good works. His | will be precious to those of | his family and his friends who remain, and his name and fame are permanent y interwoven with the history of his beloved city and State.

An interesting illustration of the working of the referendum was given In Switzerland recently, when the state councillors undertook to secure an in- crease of their official salaries Their reasons for asking larger remuneration were accepted as sound by the public press, all the newspapers, conservative. radical and socialist, warmly indorsing the proposed increase. The approval of the electors was regarded as almost cer- tain, but, to the great surprise of the councillors the result of the vote showed only 2,800 out of total of 23,300 voters were in favor of increasing the salaries as planned Similar differences be- tween the opinions of the people and those of their lawmakers have been noted many times before, and the senti- ment in favor of an obligatory referen- dunn is growing rapidly throughout the country The Courier de Geneve' now affirms that 1t is essential that the cleo tors have the obligatory referendum instead of the optional referendum, it having been demonstrated that a law which has not been submitted to the electors is not unlikely to be law con- trary to the wishes of the public
