THE COURTEOUS PERSON.
Even Reproof Need Not Be Given
Rudely-About Various Points
of Etiquette.

There Is never an excuse for rude
ness; a perfectly well-bred person Is
never rude. II occasion demands, and
reproof must be given. 1t need not be
given rudely; rather with a dignity
that makes 1t all the more effective.
To be curious about other peoples
affairs is to be rude; to intrude when
one is not quite sure that conversa-
ton Is private, Is to be rude; to make
direct personal illusions is rude; to
turn remarks into a personal applica-
ton is rude. In short. anything thai
in any way seems in the least calcu-
lated to make others uncomfortable is
absolute rudeness, for which there is
no excuse.
A very rude thing is to interrupt
with a contradiction or correction,
either of pronunciation or of state
ment; in the first the person may be
purposely misstating with some ute
rior object, with which one has no
concern. If this is not the case, 1t
is better to take the opportunity to
call attention in an aside, rather than
before others.
To correct is to confuse: If it is
in the matter of pronunciation, re-
member. that different localities have
differene pronunclations of the same
word, and yours might sound quite as
bad, even worse, in such localities.
Some very well-informed people
have peculiar ways of pronouncing
simple words; the close ''u" of the
Virginian is an example. This can
by no means be considered incorrect;
it is habit and the custom; therefore,
it is rude to notice it in fault-fnding
or corrective spirit.
Also, in the matter of pronouncing
words that are little out of the or
binary; it is never so much the accent
on the right syllable that is to be
noted as that the word itself is cor
rectly applied. Many learn from read
| ing. and yet may not have opportuni-
ties of hearing such words pronounced
as they should be, 1t is not the place
of the listener to correct unless ~
uuested, and then only in the polirs

ARE DESERVING IRELAND.
NV Impetus to Emigration to Amer
lea, Especially Among the
Young People.

Since the census of 1900 was taken
nearly 100000 Irish immigrants have
scaled in the United States, the year
ending with July, 1905, showing lar
ger number than any year since 1895.
new impetus has been given to Irish
immigration within the past two years,
turn which is quite perplexing to
those native Irish societies which have
been unsucct ssfully attempting to stop
the great mai 'anal leak for so many
years. The unrest among the young
native Irish element Is still wonderful
ly strong. sa.-s Plummer +. Jones. in
The Worll To-Day.
An American traveller in Ireland is
as much impressed with this fact as he
is with anything else in that country
of remarkable things. Everywhere he
sees and hears of wholesale departures
for the United States. Even in the re-
hottest rural hamlets the old people
can be heard lamenting some recent
exodus of the most promising young
boys and girls. Almost every man or
woman that a traveller meets and talks
with in Ireland has number of bro
theirs or sisters or very near relatives
who have recently left for the United
States.
Emigration agencies exist in every
part of the island. Every village has
a steamship agent, to whose advantage
it is to use every inducement to infiu-
ence the young men and women to
emigrate. Since their pay must come
from the steamship tickets which they
sell, the agents take good care to see
that many of them are disposed of in
the course of year. The flaming
posters which they flaunt in the faces
of the young people who are already
FESTIVE and overanxious to go, Offering
the cheapest transportation and, to
their minds, fabulous wages on the
other side of the Atlantic, prove ire
sistible to the average Irish villager.
During the past summer whole viii
lagos in Cavan, Galway and Donegal
have been depopulated, and vast coun-
trysides in Mayo and Roscommon have
been stripped of the remnants of their
old-time armies of farm laborers.

hotel in Edinburgh asked at the cash
ier's desk for his bill, and was aston
ished to find it so large. He felt that
he had been plundered, but he paid

to the call. The Frencuman rushed up
to him, exclaiming: "Ah, let me en-

BASEBALL IN MlDWINTER.
Game Was Played at Medicine Hat,
Alberta, in the Month of
February.

Baseball in Canada in midwinter!
When the professional ball teams be-
gin their practice for the season they
go south; but, apparently, 1t would
not be unreasonable for them also to
go north. On February 2, this year
reports the New York Tribune, the
machine shop hands and pretty nearly
berta, Canada, went to see ball game
without wearing overcoats. 1t was
such a day as one mighteexpect to
experience in May in the latitude OF
New York. Medicine Hat, situated
many miles north of Montreal, is rec
ognized by the United States weather
bureau as the birthplace Of billiards.
and ordinarily one of the coolest places
on the continent. For nearly half of
the fall and winter the date line Med

by 40 below zero"
New Workers who complain of the
changeableness of the weather ought
to go to Medicine Hat, if they would
get a first-class specimen of change
able weather. Prepared to brave the
chilly blasts, they would arise one
morning to find the chinook had ar
rived and the temperature like that
of southern California. The chinook
is a peculiar wind which is expe-
rienced frequently on the eastern side
of the Rocky Mountains. 1t Is caused
by high atmospheric pressure in the
upper heavens This creates a down
ward current of air through compress
sion. The compression heats the air
at the rate of one degree Fahrenheit
for every 1873 feet of descent drop
of $500 feet, which is common on the
Rocky mountain slope, would mean a
rise in temperature of about 80 de-
grees. Owing to its dryness as we'll
as warmth the chinook quickly melts
snow and absorbs any moisture that
may be on the ground.

ciety belle has considered it-that is, IL
she has considered 1t at all. But once
awakened to its Importance she will de-
vote to 1t some time and attention that
she will find to be by no means misspent.
The resourceful woman can do much
toward acquiring the desired accom-
plishment. So far the comprehensive
correspondence school genius has not
added the study to his curriculum, but
in most large cities there are exclusive
finishing schools where they give you
lessons in sitting down. They divide
the lessons into four parts: First, en-
tering the room; second, the greeting;
third, the selection of a chair; and,
fourth, the being seated.
In the fourth class there are many
things to be grasped The first is that
you must not lean forward, when you
sit down. 1t looks awkward. Don't sit
with the body inclined forward. 1t gives
one look as though one we're about 10
start.
Don't sit with one foot doubled In
under your chair; and, Of course, don't
sit on your feet. Place your feet in front
of you, not extended too far. and don't
spread them too far apart. Let them
rest easily upon the carpet.
When you sit down. don't Toll; don't
lean way back don't cross your feet,
and don't look too uncomfortable. Rest
comfortably, but don't be too comfort

important as moderation In anything

This fresh air system of bringing
