HIS TIEroE HABIT.

Zone habit l don't get over yet
said a one time fiat dweller who has
now attained to the dignity of house,
lis that of walking around on my toes.
1--WE lived in fiat house under a
family whose floors were uncarpeted
and who used to walk around on those
bare floors flatfooted with their heavy
shoes On-tramp, tramp, tramp all the
time. Over our heads it was always
laundering, and sometimes it used TO
drive us pretty nearly distracted. They
were nice, well meaning people, all
right but they just didn't think, and
we had to suffer for it.
But it made me think that If their
walking around like that over us dis
turbed us so, what must our walking
around be to the people under us?
THAT led to my forming this tip-tOe-
ing habit that still clings to me. From
going on tiptoe on the bare places 1
came to walking on tiptOe all around
our fiat, where we had carpets or rugs
as we'll, and so at last l came to walk
elOH5 IliC IAiCN 49, "
the hall without.
"Some of my folks laughed at me,
but l taught them at least all to walk
softly in the fat, while with me the
tiptoe habit became confirmed.
"Then fortune smiled on us rather
broadly and here we are, as you see
us, in a house. where we Gould jump
on the floors if we wanted to and never
disturb anybody. But the tiptoe habit
formed in the flat still clings to me and
frequently l find myself, as you found
me just now, walking around here on
my toes.
You wondered at it. / wonder at
myself when l find myself walking
around that way, when it comes to me
that l am tiptoeing, and my folks say
1 make myself ridiculous and scandal
ize the whole family. And still L don't
seem quite to get over going around so.
It's the force of habit, you know; that's
all.
But shall get over it all right in
time. It's an ingrained sort Of habit,
but even now, and we've only been here
about six months, / find the greatest
sort of luxury in walking around the
house freely and naturally as l would
anywhere, without fear of disturbing
anybody, and Pm doing that more and
more all the time and it won't be long
before III be able to stop tiptOeing al

Fifteenth Century Manners.

The antiquary took down a small
fat volume, vellum-bOund, with brass
clasp.
This is a Book of Manners" he
said. ut was printed in 1476. Here
are a few extracts"
And he read:
do not gnaW a bone, like a dog
nor suck the marrow out of bone.
"In peeling a pear, begin at the
stalk; but with an apple, begin at the
top.
do not wipe the hands on the
clothes, nor suck them, but use the
cloth.
when you drink, lift the cup in
both hands; you must not drink with
one hand like a wagner when he is
greasing his cart wheels.
wipe your nose and mouth when
you have drunk, and do not cough into
the cup.
"Do not eat an apple all alone, but
cut it in two and give a neighbor a
piece.
do not use your own knife to cut
your meat if the host has set a knife
of his own at your place.
do not spread butter on bread with
your thumb"

the care and culture of spirits may be
gained from the Koreans. These people
dam up the walls Of their tOmbs so
that the spirit of the dead may not run
down hill and thus become a terrible
menace to the living.
A Korean chooses always for the
site of a tomb some steep hillside, high
above the floor of the valley, that the
imps Of darkness coming up through
the middle of the earth may have a
hard climb uphill after they reach
the burial place of the deceased.
The tomb closely resembles a saucer

in It's middle. The edges Of the saucer
like dixie about the central circular
mound are raised sometimes to the
height of four or five feet and care
fully turfed SO as to resist the washing
effect Of the winter rains. Thus the
spirit of the deceased, buried deep un-
der the central mound, is effectually
damned in and nfewed up by the en-
circling wall of earth.
