FRANkNEsS OF MANNER.
There Is No More Delightful Trait In
Either Young or Old

In3re Is NO more De1lGnfful Trait In
Either Young or Old.
There is no more delightful trait in
the young or the old than absolute
frankness and openness of nature,
that transparency Of character which
lets us see the best and the worst in
them, their strong and their weak
points, without any effort at conceal
ment.
Everybody admires the open heart
ed, the people who have nothing to
conceal, and who do not try to cover
up their faults and weaknesses. They
are, as a rule, larged hearted and
magnanimous. They inspire love and
confidence, and, by their very frank
ness and simplicity, invite the same
qualities in others.
Secretiveness repels as much as
franllness attracts. There is some
thing about the very inclination to con-
ceal or cover up which arouses sus-
picion and distrust. We cannot have
the same confidence in people who
possess this trait, no matter how good
they may seem to be, as in frank,
sunny natures. Dealing with these
secretive people is like travelling on
stagecoach on a dark night. There
is always a feeling Of uncertainty.
We may come out all right, but there
is lurking fear of some pitfall or
unknown danger ahead Of us. We
are uncomfortable because of the un-
certainties. They may be all right,
and may deal squarely with us, but
the trouble is that we are not sure,
and cannot trust them. No matter
how polite or gracious a secretive per-
son may be, we can never rid our
selves Of the feeling that there is
motive behind his graciousness, and
that he has an ulterior purpose in
view. He is always more or less of
an enigma, because he goes through
life wearing a mask He endeavors
to hide every trait that is not favor
able to himself. Never, if he can help
it, do we get a glimpse Of the real
man.
How different the man who comes
out in the open, who has no secrets,
who reveals his heart to us and who is
frank, broad and liberal! How quick
ly he wins our confidence. How we all
love and trust him! We forgive him
for many slip or weakness because
he is always ready to confess his faults
and to make amends for them. II he
has bad qualities they are always In
sight, and we are ready to make al
lowances for them. His heart is sound
and true; his sympathies are broad and
active. The very qualities he possesses
-frankness and simplicfty-are con-
ducive to the growth of the highest
manhood and womanhood.-S

ETIQUETTE.

A gentleman always rises from his
chair when a lady enters or leaves the
room
On a mans visiting card only titles
that indicate a rank or profession for
life should be used
At ball one may not refuse ~ GER
tain dance to one gentleman and then
dance it with another
A letter to a married woman is di-
rected with her husbands name or ini-
tials and her own-as, Mrs Thomas R.
Gibbs Or Mrs. T. r. Gibbs.
To be polite to one we dislike is mot
necessarily being insincere. Politeness
is not SO much manifestation toward
others as an indication of what we
are ourselves. We owe it to ourselves
to be we'll bred.
On formal occasions no napkin rings
appear on the table and the napkin is
used but the once. At the home dinner
the napkin, if not too soiled, should be
placed in the ring to be used again al
breakfast or luncheon.

JAPANESE LACQUER.


Seldom Reaches Us.
In the billy country two industries
come to help griculture-namely, silk
raising and lacquer To name only one
district, the villages along the Naka-
improvements in silk raising. The
lacquer tree may possibly have been
imported from China, as so many
other trees and plants were, but it GER
tainly was known and used in Japan
at a very early period. We are used
to thinking of it as ornament only. 1t
is that and much more besides, for
plain lacquer bowls and trays are al
most necessities of daily life. They
raise most of what is used in certain
provinces, but Tokyo imports a good
deal Of juice to be manufactured
there.
The tree Is a species Of rhus, closely
allied to our poison ivy and having the
same power to produce an irritating
rash on the skin. The workers get over
this, however, and do not have it
again, but they say that people some
times get it from handling bowls or
trays which have not been dried long
enough.
To get the sap the farmer cuts a
notch in the side of each tree, and aft
er time thick juice oozes out; then
the farmer goes around with wooden
spatula gathering the drops into q pail
It will keep for long while, but must
not be allowed to dry up nor to be
heated above certain point, for 1t
contains a peculiar acid which causes
the juice to ferment and harden The
pieces that have been varnished must
therefore be dried in mild and moist
air. Tokyo in August is usually just
right, about 81 degrees
A good piece Of lacquer has to be
most carefully made, in the first place,
and then varnished with layer after
layer, each being dried and polished
before the next goes on. Certain pig
ments mixed with it give red, black or
green. TO apply gold a wash Of var
nish is laid where the design is to be
and the gold powder sprinkled on from
hollow bamboo stick with a fine
sieve over the end When it is dry it
must be revarnished and repolished
over all. With all these repeated proc
esses fine piece may be on hand for
months, even years. Naturally this is
not the kind that is prepared for for
eign export, for people abroad will not
pay for it.-Anna G. HaTtshorne in
Chautauquan.

WAR CORRESPONDENTS.
Some of Their Famous Feats OF Phys
ical Endurance.

Some OF Their Famous Feats of Phys
ical Endurance.
One Of the finest achievements of
White, a representative of the New
York Tribune, in the Franco-Prussian
war: He Witnessed the battle Of Sedan
from the Prussian headquarters, ON
Thursday, Sept. 1, 1870. at it's conelu-
sion he rode to Brussels, but there the
postoffice authorities refused to trans
nit his; dispatch to London and even
threatened to arrest him for saying;
that the French had been defeated. He
then went ON to Calais, crossed to Do
yer by special steamer and took a spe-
cial train to London, where he arrived
at 5 O'Clock Oh Saturday morning. Next
day there was description of the bat
tie six columns long in the Tribune. 1t
was not till Tuesday that the London
newspapers had accounts of the con-
fict from their correspondents.
But the most famous deed Of physic-
al endurance in the race for news be-
| tween war correspondents; was told Of
| Archibald Forbes. In the Servian war
of 1876 Semlfn, the nearest telegraph
station, was 12O miles distant from the
scene of the battle. So SOON as Forbes
| knew the result he rode off, and all
night long he. kept at a gaIlop, chang
ing horses every fifteen miles. At Sem
| lin he had one long drink of beer and
then at once sat down to the task Of
writing, hour after hour, against time,
the Hdings Of which he was the bearer.
After he had written the story Of th
battle and put it on the wires he lay
down in his. clothes and slept twenty
hours witho Ut waking He had wit
messed the battle, which lasted six
hours; ridden 12O miles and written
and dispatched a telegraphic message
four columns in length to the Dali
News, all in the space of thirty hours

An Unnecessary Distinction,

The two expressions "by and by" and
''by the bye" are really derived from
the same original word, and the words
'by' and "bye'' have the same general
sense. But the spelling 'bye" has long
been used In the second Of these
phrases without any real reason for
the change. We should not speak. Of
bye law or bye path, and yet many
are careful to write 'by the bye" and
''by the by" In goodbye" there might
be some reason for keeping the final
sse," since it stands for the word ''ye''
in the shortened form Of "God be with
ye;;" but where so much has been
dropped the ''e'' is hardly worth keep
ing, especially as the old meaning is
seldom recalled-St. Nicholas.

Discovering the Kangaroo.

In the year ITO Captain Cook sailed
into Botany bay in his ship, the En-
deavor. A foraging or exploring party
brought back to him the news of the
discovery of a new and strangely form
ed animal. 1t was described as mouse
colored in hue and of the size of a
greyhound. But that which struck
Cooks men as most singular was it's
movements. "It sprang Or leaped with
great swiftness, by the aid Of it's long
hind limbs" while the possession Of a
strong tail was also noted On July
IA MI. Gore, one Of Cooks party,
shot kangaroo, the name by which
the animal was known to the natives.
AT their dinner on Sunday, July l5,
177O they dined off kangaroo joint and
pronounced the meat to be excellent
eating AS early as I'LL, however, a
Dutch traveller in Australia, of the
name Of De Bruins, had captured a
kangaroo, which he took to Batavia
alive, SO that Cook practically redis
covered the family.

"Freedom to worship Cod"

One of the conditions which promote
peace between the states of the United
States is that wherever any citizen
may be he is free to enjoy whatever
form Of relieion he prefers. He may
be a Christian, Mohammedan or pagan,
as he. pleases, only he must preserve
the peace and live decent life. World
peace will be unspeakably promoted If
there prevails such system of world
law that when a man goes into any
part of the world he will be free to
worship God after any form he prefers.
Other liberties now not known in all
countries may be expected in the grow
ing liberation and homogeneity of the
world.-R. l.. Bridgman in Atlantic

WILD BILLS FIRST FIGHT.
He Was Wounded, but Killed Six of
the McKand1as Gang

he was wounded, Duf Killed Six OF
the McKandlas Gang.
Wild Bill, whose real name was
James Hickok, first came west in 1857
and drove an OK team on the plains for
Majors & Russell in 1860. He subse-
quently engaged himself to the over
land stage company as stock tender and
was put in charge Of new stage sta
ton on Rock creek, near the old Nc
Kandlas station, which was generally
known as Robbers Roost. This was
the headquarters for the McKandlas
gang, crowd that had held together
since the Missouri-Kansas border ruff
fan days and generally had things
their own way. A man named Ficklin,
and number one stage hand, was the
superintendent. He tried to buy out
the McKandlas station; but, failing in
this, he built a new one near by, put
ting young Hickok in charge Up to
that time he had never experienced
trouble with any one and was not like
ly to have friction, especially with the
old station keeper, McKandlas, or his
men.
In the winter Of 1S60-e1 McKandlas
and his nephew and four other men
passed by the new station on horse
back, leading an old man who was
afoot. They had a rope around the
old fellows neck, and occasionally they
would take a few turns around the
horn of the saddle, make a run on the
o,>I 4l,c olI Il
drag him on the ground until he was
nearly dead. The only spite they had
against him was that he was a North
Methodist preacher. If Wild Bill was
anything he was an abolitionist and
free soiler and loyal to the United
States. The McKandlas crowd was
planning to make raid on several sta
tions to secure the stock and go south
They told young Hickok they would
take the stock. He replied that he
would be there.
When they returned late in the even
ing two stopped at the corral, two
went to the front and two to the back
door Of the cabin or hut. Hickok told
them he would shoot the first man who
took down the bars of the corral. The
elder McKandlas fired at Hickok, but
missed him. Hickok returned the fire
with rifle and shot McKandlas in
the heart. The next shot from Hickok
killed the nephew, and the two fell at
the front door. Just then the two at
the back door opened fire. One shot
from double harre1ed o11n 1o6ood
seven full grown buckshot into Hick-
ok's right side and breast, two Of which
entered his lungs. The two men who
stopped at the corral came to the as
sistance Of the two men at the house.
Hickok was then in a hand to hand
fight with four men. He killed three
Of them in the house and wounded the
other SO badly that he died on the
prairie. e.-Denver Field and Farm.

Just Like Americans.

A peculiar revelation in. regard to
train travel in Japan is that the people
of various classes, customarily polite
in their intercourse with one another
and in their dealings with aliens, lose
nearly all sense of courtesy when they
enter a passenger car. When I first
rode in first class car in Japan and
saw several dainty Japanese women in
pretty silks standing while Japanese
men remained resolutely seated could
almost fancy was on an elevated
train in New York bound for Harlem.
