 JUSTICES COURTS. in Justice Burnetts court yesterday Francisco MCntoya, who was charged with dis turDing the peace. was discharged. He was one of the inmates of the saloon in the Mexican quarter where a fight oc- cured Monday night, but he was too intoxicated to do much mixing up or to remember the particulars of the melee. The trial Of Hugh McKibben. the man who was badly l1nifed in tho
 fight and who was charged with dis turbing the peace, was continued until today. The two cases which were to have been heard in Judge Robertson's court yesterday were postponed until tomOrr0 0w.

BUSINESS IS FATAL
Faet and n Calm, Easy Manner Are
the First Essentials Of Really
Good Manners.

Etiquette is not mere code Of formal,
useless rules; It comprises the whole
range Of good manners, and consequent
" good breeding, tact, politeness and
charm. We begin to learn etiquette
when we are told to eat with a fork IN
preference to a knife, or our fingers;
to sit with our feet under the table, in
stead Of on It.
Many persons have an idea that per.
feet manners, and a knowledge Of how
TO act under all circumstances, is borI
In those called upon to move in good so
ciety, and that II is snobbish TO try ant
obtain II through books. Than this
there can be no greater mistake. The
children Of the most cultured must sub
NIT to a long education in etiquette
Much, Of course, comes to them almost
as naturally as speech, through the
knowledge their children possess; but
then the parents must have knowledge
IN the first place II Is the perfect ac-
quaintanee with what is good form, the
consciousness Of feeling perfectly at
ease In whatever situation one may find
herself, that gives the easy air Of good
breeding so full Of charm, so well worth
attaining. Natural tact, innate refine
ment, go far. but they do not take one
all the way. any more than a naturally
clever child can get on without any
teaching whatever. But one thing IL
certain-itis only those who are natural
~ refined, and possess an Unborn tact,
who can ever hope TO attain perfection
Of manner, for the foundation Of all good
breeding Is tact.
A tactful person grasps a situation in
an instant, and is at once prepared to
speak and act correctly, no matter what
company she may be In. She is neither
too familiar, nor too reserved.
Next to tact, a calm. easy manner Is
absolutely necessary to the attainment
Of an air Of good breeding. Fussiness is
fatal. An over-accentuated politeuess
and desire TO please is more TO be COM
mended, certainly, than the lack Of both.
but It is almost as far removed from the
ease Of good breeding.-N. Y. Weekly.

THE WOMAN OF THIRTY.
At That Age She No Longer Masquer-a
AIDES and Has Reached Her
Highest Capacity.

Keith Clark remarks in the Reader
that when one knows the age Of a woman
one knows the woman. The very fact
that she permits you to know her age
exhibits her character. She no longer
masquerades. She has lost a certain I'M
certainty, an evanescent delicacy, that
was irresistible charm. Women, like
philosophy, are divided into two classes,
the movable and the unknowable. Also
like philosophy, IT Is the unknowable
woman who is the speculable. Therefore,
to get her at her highest capacity, she
must be unmarried and about 80.
The married woman presents certain
inescapable telltale data. She has chill
dren, and those children have apparent
ages, two facts which go far in deter
mining'her annals. II she is unmarried,
and not about 30" she is under 30,
again an indefinite fact. Being about
80" is indefinite. She may be more or
less. No one hazards a guess. There
is delightful vagueness in being about
80" It has nothing to do with dates;
and many Of Us who from our youth up
have felt no attachment for dates can
forgive the unattached their confessed
indifference.

TO REMOVE A RING.
A Needle Flat in the Eye and q BIT OF
Thread VIII Do II in a Few
Seconds.

Most girls have had trouble in remov-

really no necessity for all this ado about
removing q tight ring" said a jeWeler.
'In that, as IN everything else, the secret
Of success lies In knowing how TO do It.
Here is a recipe that I have found IN

there is no painful surgical operation
involved, either. Thread a needle Fat

but not too coarse. Then pass the head
of the needle under the ring. Care, Of

be best 10 soap the needle before begin
ming. The needle. having been passed
through. pull the thread through a few
inches toward the hand-sO."
Nv this time the jeweler had passed
the needle and thread under the ring on
his own finger and was prepared to IL
lustrate the little lecture. Wrap the
g-end Of the thread around the finger
toward the nail In this manner. Then
take hold Of the short end and unwind It
so. The thread, thus pressing against
