The Saying Of Grace.

Some of Dickens most touching
and effective word pictures were those
family gatherings where for mo-
ment song and mirth were llushed and
the revered head of the household
quietly invoked blessing on the re-
past. Who does not remember the
wedding feast at the Wardle home,
when even genial Mr.. Pickwick brush
ed away tear and Dickens voiced his
feelings in that memorable passage.
There are dark spots on the earth,
but its light shines brighter in the
contrast" And through a mist OF
happy memories riseSthe home Of the
Cheeryb1e brothers, those typical ex-
amp1es who in the midst of their
prosperity always remembered at
mealtime the 'giver Of all good For
these and all other blessings, brother
Charles,"' said Ned, "Lord make US
truly grateful, brother Ned" said
Charles.

A Full Stop.

A returned traveller who spent hall
of his holiday in a tour of Ireland
brought back a sample Of the happy
go-lucky wit of the Irish Harvey" or
driver. In breakneck race down a
hil1'i1e suddenly realized that the spir-
tied little Irish mare was running
away.
"Pull her up!" he shouted excitedly.
''Hold tight, your honor" returned
the jarvey easily.
"Pull her up'' again commanded
the traveller, making a grab for the
reins.
"For your life don't touch the
reins," the jarvey answered, without
Tightening his grip. 'Sure they're as
rotten IS pears"
: The traveller made ready to jump,
but the jaryey laid a soothing hand
on his shoulder. ..
"Sit easy" he said reassuringly.
"I'll turn her into the river at the
bridge below here, Sure, that'll stop
her"

SIGNS OF GOOD BREEDING.
Forms of Etiquette That All People
Should Observe.

\ bow should always be returned
even though one3may be mistaken tor
somelone else, and 70 give the cut di-
rect is a discourtesy of which no per-
son Of good breeding should be guilty.
1t is perfectly easy to acknowledge
a salusation with such dignity but
brevity of glance as TO- plainly show
that one does not. care to have any
thing but very formal acquaintance
with the person spoken to. .,
4 man always raises his hat when
presented to>a woman or to another
man. He should also raise it when
meeting or. taking leave OF a woman,
when she first speaks to him for what,
ever reason, when he offers his. ser
vices in any way, even though she
NAV be a stranger to him, such as
when entering an elevator where ,wo;-
men are present or in opening a door
for a woman to pass through. In tact,
a man cannot be too careful in show
ing this little act of courtesy whenever
the least apology would be in order,
says the Philadelphia Press.
A man always lifts his hat when
woman under his escort receives some
courtesy from stranger or If she
bows to person that he is not ac-
quainted with. He also raises his hat
upon recognizing an acquaintance
who has a woman with him whom he
does not. know. A man should be as
particular in bowing to his mother,
father or sister when meeting them On
che street OF in taking leave Of them
as he would be with his friends Or for
NAL acquaintance.
Men shake hands with each other
at introduction, women only when de-
string to be especially cordial. A man,
of course, always waits for the wo-
man to Offer: her hand first, and if pos
sible he should remove his glove be-
fore doing so if her hand is ungloved.
Women do nor kiss each other
when meeting and parting unless they
are very close friends, and even then
it is usually done only in private.
When acting as woman's escort
man should pay all the fares and
fees When entering street Car or
any vehicle he should allow the wo-
man to precede him, assisting her as
she does So. In. leaving the car or
cab he alignts first, offering her as
sistance as she follows. -..
In All these forms Of etiquette it is
quite possible to at least lay the foun-
dation for their correct observance
when those under ones care are
merely. boys and girls: # they be-. :
come: accustomed TO good form and
good, manners when young they will
never dread the day when they must
enter the more formal ways of society.

Osceola, Iowa, Sept. After hold

starve himself to death, Charles Arm
strong, an old soldier and wealthy man
here, yielded Sunday evening to the

4 His first turn towards death by star
walton was caused by. reading a maya
zine article telling Of DR.. Osler' s ideas.
After reading the first article and com
ment, Armstrong began to tell his wife
that every man should be chloroformed
