Kindly inform me the proper thing to
do upon receiving a formal invitation for
an at-home or a reception If one cannot
accept 1t. Is II proper to send card FOR
each lady in a family, or should any be
sent to the gentleman in tine case of
reception? If there are several days at
home during the month and tits mpossi-
BILE to attend any, to which day should
you send the card? r. G. NJ.
There is no way in which you can take
proper notice of formal invitation to a
reception except by sending your card,
unless it should have, which is rarely the
case, n. 9. V. p" which, as you know,
means that an answer is requested. Should
this be the case you must at once answer
the invitation. In sending cards you should
send your card according to the names on
the invitation. In leaving cards at the
house there is no necessity to leave an
extra one for your husband for the man
of the family. If the invitation reads MI
of your own and of your husbands are
sufficient. When the cards are for four
days in the month you can wait until the
last day before sending yours, for by so
doing you give the impression that you
tried vainly to go all the other days, but
was prevented, whereas in sending the
card the first day without being able to
give any reason the idea may be conveyed
that you have other invitations more ac-
ceptable.

We do not suppose that any thor
oughly we'll man ever raised this qnes-
ton in his own behalf To such a one
digestion is a process Of which he is
never conscious. The stomach digests
Just as the heart beats, or the lungs
heave. It is a powerful organ, and will
stand q great amount Of abuse.
But if a mother should ask the ques-
ton in the interest Of her children, we
should reply in general terms, that the
prevention Of dyspepsia lay in the avoid
ance Of its causes. These are many.
We can indicate only some Of the more
common Of them.
/. The most common is, perhaps,
over-eatina. A physician lately said :
Most persons eat four-times as much
as they should.
The proportion seems very large, but
an eminent British physician Of former
generation said almost the same thing
8 that one fourth Of what we eat goes 60
sustain life, while three-fourths go to
imperil il. Another physician wittiiy
remarked that most people dig their own
graves with their teeth.
The foundation Of the habit Of over
eatingis apt to be laid in childhood and
youth. since the stomach then seems
able to bear almost anything. There
would be little danger Of eating too
much, If the food were always PLAIN and
simple; in that case the natural appetite
would be a safe and sufficient guide.
The trouble is that the natural appetite
is too often spoiled by cakes, pies, con
diments and highly seasoned food.
2. Another source Of dyspepsia i
emotional waste Of nervous force. The
nerve force is to the physical system
what steam IS to the machine.
In the normal condition Of things, i
1 Is renewed as fast as it is used. Blu
nature makes no provision for the i'm
mense amount expended by excessive
care, by fuss and worry, by hurry ans
drive, by explosions Of passion aud b.
the undue excitements Of fpleasure. Al
these are like q great leakage Of steam
The stomach is the first and larges
sharer in the loss.
3. Another source is overwork Of th
brain. Brainwork is specially exhaust
i've Of nerve-lorce, aud the exhaustion
is greatly increased by the fact that higl
Intellectual activity gathers to itself
most delightful momentum, making
few hours Of high-pressure work NOR
productive than days Of plodding.
Moreover. a brain-worker generall
neglects physical exercise and curtall
sleep. He Is like the careless enginee
who, while driving at the highest speed
fails to supply the needed wood an
water. He cannct help being a dyi
peptic. !,
4. Another cause, which general
acts with all the Others is lack
e active, exhilarating outdoor exercis
and recreation. Such exercise and re-
I reation are absolutely essential. "
only add that it is vastly easier to pr
/ vent dyspepsia than to cure it - Ioatth

Many are the stories still told by
commercial travellers ab0ut George

would not be denied, says Samuel
Smiles If refused at first, he resorted
to all sorts Of expedients until he sue
ceeded.
On one occasion lie sold the clothes
off his back to get an order A tena-
ci0us draper in q Lancashire town re-
fused 10 deal with him. The draper
was quite satisfied with the firm that
supplied him, and he would make no
change This became known amongst
the commercial travellers at the hotel,
and one Of them made a bet Of five
pounds with George Moore that he
would not obtain an order
George set ont again. The draper
saw him entering the shop, and cried
ont, "All fulIl all full, Mr.. Moore !

Never mind, said George, You
won't object 10 a crack.
"Oh mol said the draper.
They cracked about many things, and
then George Moore, calling the drap-
ers attention to a new coat which he
wore, asked. What he thought Of it r
IT'S a capital coat, said the draper
"Yes, first-rate; made in the best
style by a frst-rate London tailor"
The draper looked at it again, and
again admired it.
Why said George, you are ex-
aetly my size: it's quite new, I'll sell it
to you."
whats the priceg
Twenty-Five shillings."
What that's very cheap
Yes, lisa great bargain
Then I'll buy it, said the draper
George went back to his hotel,
donned another suit, and sent the

calling again, the draper offered
to pay him.
sNo, no, said George, ~Ill book it,
you've opened an account.
Mr.. Moore had sold the coat at a loss,
but he was recouped by the fye-pound
bet which he won, and he obtained an
order beside. The draper afterwards
became one Of his best customers.
On another occasion q draper al
Neweastle-upon-Tyne was called upon
many times without any result. He
was always "full." In fact, he had n'
intention Of opening an account will
the new firm. Mr. Moore got to know
that be was fond of a particular kind
