Politeness, 1t is true, must have Its
origin IN kind heart and desire to
please; but tact and thoughtfulness and
quick wit are also essential to good
manners.

Wonderful Gave in Montana.

A new and wonderful natural cave,
believed to be one of the largest
known, has been discovered In the
canon of the Jefferson, on the line Of
the Northern Pacific railway, about
fifty miles east of Butte, Montana. An
exploration party from Butte spent
several days In the cave, going over
an area of ten miles and to a depth
of nearly 1000 feet.
A large river with a cataract of
about 100 feet was explored for dis
lance of several miles without dis
covering it's source or outlet. A few
articles of stone and copper utensils
and some bones, believed to be hu-
man bones, were also found in one Of
the large apartments of the cave.
There We're other evidences that at
some time in prehistoric period the
cave was inhabited.
1t Is believed that an earthquake
closed the entrance to the cave and
killed its inhabitants. The formation
of stalactite and other natural decor
atoms throughout the cave are most
beautiful.

Then, the moment news came that
Naples was infected the energetic pom
tiff suspended all communication with
the kingdom of the two Sicilies on pain
of death. Only letters were allowed to
pass after such rigid disinfection that
little of them was left. All persons
belonging to the papal states who
were forbidden, also on pain of death,
to return, while death was likewise
the punishment for those who, coming
into a city, did not present themselves
at certain office. Also hotel or inn
keepers, heads Of converts, ETC., who
received any one not having the papal
guarantee and who did not declare the
names of their guests, ran the risk of
five years Imprisonment. All this be-
fore there was one case In the papal
states.

Is like picking up a modern newspa-

rettes strictly guarded, isolation and
disinfection, navigation of the Tiber
forbidden and the churches closed, but
all to no apparent purpose. At one time
during that terrible year there was not
one house In Trastevere "a thickly pop
ulated district of Rome In which the
plague did not enter, so that it was
cut off from the rest of the city by a
high, thick wall. After twelve months
the tide turned and the Eternal City
was free, after losing 1880 of her
inhabitants, while at Naples the deaths
were 100000 and at Genoa 10000.

Once More to Neatness.

A man realizes by instinct that the
object of starehed linen is to present
him each morning to his fellow men in
all the freshness and ractiveness of
perfect cleanliness and neatness, says
the Indiana Weekly. The average wom-
an still feels n little dressed up In her
fresh shirtwaist, and is fearful of treat.
Ing herself to too much luxury.
The ordinary man has few shirts
and lot of collars and ties, and he
keeps the entire batch in perpetual mo-
ton. The ordinary woman has more
waists than collars, and too much con-
science to wear either properly.
A man who makes the least pretense
to good dressing will have at least
dozen neckties to his two hats. His
wife will average two neckties to four
hats. Naturally, these statements do
not apply to the smart girl, who is
smart, because, in copying mems
clothes, she also copies their methods
of wearing clothes.
1t Is wise woman who knows the
value of immaculate linen, and prac
teal woman who, not being able to af-
ford it, confines herself to wash silk
pongee, taffeta and madras waists, and
ribbons in place of the semi-fresh col,
lars.
