l to anyone who has the g7tssortune to be deaf and who is therefore likely to be left out of the conversation and to miss some of it's delicate shades. About giving tips to servants there is wide difference of opinion. There are employers who are extremely an noyed al the thought that guest un der their roof shall bestow a fee or gratuity on the maid or the man who renders service. Others are less sensitive on this roirt. and have no objection to allowing their dcmestics ! to accept tip from a departing guest As company in the house always means extra work for the help. they are not to blame If they prefer those guests who slip iittlo money into the hand when the, are going away. A lady nay pleas a maid as well by be- slowing on her some pretty gift such as a stock, a handkerchief.a ribbon, or a pair of gloves as by giving her money outright. Unless host and hostess are known to be opposed to the practice a glest need not hesitate to give a small sum to those who have minstered tC his or ner comfort.
 Years ago. man ho was born and had lived abroad most of his life. was often a yisitcr IT. the home of a young girl whom he greatly admired and who later became his wife Following the European custom. he always set his boots outside his bedroom door at night, and he invariably found them well polished when Ie oneuad lis door in the morning He had been some time a married man before he diseov cred that the maid who had blackened his boots was the ;.ainty daughter of the house.

 Host and hostess should plan 10 give guests good deal of freedom In the week send visit. l. is a great bore to be constantly entertained. The free dom of the house and grounds. liberty 10 drive or row on lake or river, and some degree of license as to reading. writing letters. or taking walks are greatly appreciated. If there are chil dren in the family keep them some what in the background. American children are apt n exact quite too much from those wi,o visit their par ents.
 Precocious children are dreaded by bachelors and young people who are absorbed in their own matters and re- gard kids" az rathe.' superfiuous when garden parties and picnics are on foot, and yet some people suffer their chil- dren to tag along on every occasion. whether they are Tn the way or not. The children will have their innings later; while they are little let them have the sweet security and retirement that bef1ts childhood.

 The Greeks, Pliny thinks kp,v nothing of the ring in the time d the Trojan war. The reason he sjys IS that we find no mention of fl in Homer, but that when letters, ste. were to be sent away, they were tist up. and the strings knotted.
 The Sabines had rings in Romulus time. and 1t is from them, probably, the practice first came to the Greess and from them it passed to the Ro. mans. who were eontented with iron rings a long time; Marius first wore a gold one in his third consulats, which was In the year of Rome $50
 They were at first worn on ths fourth finger. then on the sscond-- then on the little finger, and at laa on all the fingers except the middS one.
 The foppery of wearing rinn among the Greeks at length rose ta that pitch that they had their weekly rings. and Heliogabalus, who was ths dandy of his age, never wore the sar' ring twice.

ye. more. And this spirit leads to spe- cialization. to establishing of schools and universities for particular lines of research.
 Such 1t is which has led Mrs Charles r. Joy, wife of a former St Louis con- gressman, to propose a million dollar university modelled on lines absolutely new in educational methods, and in connection herewith sociological col ony where the unique ideas may be put into living practice. As she puts it. University in which the great trinity. the mind, the soul and body, shall re- ceive the proper training Such a school would be a twentieth century in- stitution in every sense of the word, Mrs Joy declares, and the fundamental pur- pose underlying all Of it's work aill be the study and discovery of every power in nature available for the benefit of man.
 Speaking further along this line she says: "A truly scientific investigation will be made of so-called psychic phe- Romena, and 1t will seek the invention of mechanical instruments which will register psycho-physcal forces One oi the first great benefits to be derived from such an investigation will be the detection of fakirs and imposters. whc too often hold forth in the field to-day, and the awarding Of credit to those who merit the reward. 1 believe that in time. with the progress which must be made. this proof will be forthcoming.
 Aside from this branch of the school there will be a department for the en- coura9ement of all curative and thera- peutic agencies with reference to all modes too many of which have been overlooked and kept under cover by the so-called established schools of medi- cine. In brief, l hope to procure recog- milton for whatever is deserving. no mat. ter in what light il is held by the world to-day.
 investigations win be made into os. teopathy, vitopathy, psychurgy, electro pathy, naturopathy, ehromathopy (eoloi eurel. melodopathy Emusic cure). mind cure thought cure and others that are still unreeognized and outside the tenn pie of science to-day
 50 much Tor the university Itself In connection herewith, it is planned tc establish q colony where the efficacy ot theories may be demonstrated. and each student or professor may work out in practical way their ideas It is not ths purpose to teach economics as they arc taught in the universities over the coun- try. There will be no attempt to teach tariff or free trade single tax or social ism. mutualism or individualism as such, or to teach any theory as opposed TO another. but to give each it's chance to make good, to use the expressive siango the day In regard to the work of the colony. Mrs. Joy says further.
 In the colony. each Of the disciples will have unlimited opportunity ir actual living 10 demonstrate the prac- tical qualities of his theory. Houses will be established for aged teachers and others who have worn themselves oil, i~ the interest of humanity charits ble Institutions. but villas which the, will earn and to which they may return when no longer able to partske actively in the worlds work

 We have borrowed from our English cousins the phrase if not the idea of the "week's-end" visit Over here We are busy people, anu our leisure class is limited. Only the rich can afford to be idlers, and probably many of the poor would be amIzed if they knew how strenuously hundreds of rich men work, disdaining to spend their lives in the pursuit of mere pleasure
 The week send. bringing with t the Saturday half-holiday, tempts thou sands from city dnsf and .loseness to the enjoyment of ,aral quiet and the sweet peace of the country Another notable feature of prcsent-day life is seen in the multiplication of suburban homes. which are no longer exception al but are the frequent choice of young married people. of middle aged people who seek -epose. and of men who like a bit of garden and a cottage when their days work is done Add to this the growing popularity Of out door sport as hopeful sign Of the timex.
 During the summer the Saturday trains and boats are tbronged with travellers. who carry sut-cases and who go with light luggage for a day or two away from home
 The hostess who sends an invitation to her friend in town for this Satur- day to Monday visit should becareful to specify definitely dates and trains Fashion and courtesy now require that there should be no uncertainty as to the time for which a guest is invited, the hours for arrival and departure being precisely sta;ed. if the coming gues, be man of affairs, and the morning or afternoon being more broadly mentioned 10 feminine guest
 Thus Mrs. Hunter asking Miss Green to pay her weeks end visit may say: ''Please give me the great pleasure of having you in this home of mine. which you have not yet seen, and come to me on Friday afternoon (naming month and day). will meet you at the station at five o'clock You will find the four o'cloci, express very easy and comfortable train hope that you s'ill remain with me until Tuesday afternoon.
 Inviting man whose time was not his own the same hostess would ask him to come on Saturday afternoon and stay until Monday morning. assur- ing him that he could have breakfast at any hour on Monday that would suit bis convenience
