SECRET OF Goco MANNERS.
Two Theories OF the Requirement.
UnseIfishness and Conventlonality.

Most mothers hold, consciously or
unconsciously, one of two theories
about the requirement Of manners by
their children. One mother says,
Manners are only the outward sign
of the inner nature. II my daughter
has a kind heart and a we'll trained
mind she will behave in gentle,
charming fashion. | will teach her
compassion, respect for age, unselfish
zeal for helping with the worlds
work Her manners will take care OF
themselves" Another mother says
MY girls will never get on without
conventional manners. They shall be
taught from babyhood to emulate the
speech and bearing of ladies' They
shall be instructed in the proper be
havior for every occasion. They shall
walk and dance and write and speak
with graceful perfection" Neither
method, says the Youths Companion
produces altogether satisfactory re
suits. Unselhshress Is truly the
foundation CT good manners, but no
the superstructure. Many convention
al restrictions have grown about so
cial relations. Some can be explained
by the demand of kindness and some
cannot.

The hammer besides being a tool

a stone fastened to a handle with
thongs, and it was as useful as a

TYPES OF ALL NATIONS.
Cosmopolitan Gathering Seen In a
New York Hotel.

New York's cosmopolitanism was
well illustrated the other night in the
lobby of the Fifth Avenue hotel. On
one of the lounges sat two japanese
chattering animatedly. On another
seat close by sat nan who looked
like a native Of the Blue Grass state
He was tall and lanky, wore a large.
bri d felt hat, and liberal dis
play of shirt front. On another lounge
In the opposite end Of the hall sat an
Englishman conversing with a Scotch
man. The English twang and the
Scotch burr could be heard distinctly.
on a seat further down the row a
ing himself. He made his nationality
evident, as he was reading German
newspaper. Still further down the
line sat two men talking and guiiing
away at cigarettes. One was an Anglo
Indian and the other n prosaic CGnadi'
an. Just within the hallowed precinct
of the Amen Corner" United States
Senator Dubois, of Idaho, was seated,
looking the picture of contentment
with his legs crossed and pulling at a
black cigar.
As If to further emphasize this COS
mopolitanism, a colored hackman en-
tered the hotel with a trunk on his
back. This is not to speak of the

were hustling in and out of the hall

MAKE HOMES FIREPRooF.


Within the last few years the price
of lumber has increased to such an
extent that the fireprCof home Is no
longer the expensive luxury 1t used to
be. Now the man Of modest means,
even the day workman, can have a
home as safe from FIRE as the palatial
dwellings Of the ultra-wealthy. Pri.
vate residences recently built and
now under construction in New York
city show that It is becoming the
practice to use the same fireproofing
precautions in houses as in lofty no.

every owner is determined that his
home shall not be swallowed up In
flame and smoke. In Charles M.
Schwab's house, at Riverside drive
and Seventy.third street, Manhattan,
there are more than 100000 square
feet of terra Gotta hollow tile blocks

the new residence of Harry Payne
Whitney, son Of the late w. C. Whit.

Great Pigeon Cities in the swamps

Each spring, in May, all the rosy
gulls of wide regioG somehow agree
to resort to a particular one of va.
rious marshy lakes for the purpose
Of rearing their young. Just how they
decide this imr ortant question is not
for us humans to know. At any rate,
what they do select is a great area Of
grass, reeds, or rushes growing out
of the water, and there, out of the
abundance of dry stems, each pair
builds a partly floating nest, side by
side with others, thousands upon
thousands of them. These great cit.
les" of the prairie pigeon present one
of the most dramatic, spectacular
sights in the blrdlife of this CONT
nent, comparable in a way to the for,
mer breeding 'roosts" Of the real wild
pigeou.-Herbert X. Job, in Outing.
