EVIDENCES OF VULGAR1TY.

Asking questions, private and per-
sonal, is one vulgar habit, and telling
your own business, which no one
wants to hear, is another. Asking
the cost of a present that has been
made to you, loud talking in public.
insolent disrespect to husband, wife,
sister or brother; showing temper in
trihes and making scenes in public,
showing an embarrassing amount of
fon6ness and making love in public;
covert sneer, of which people can see
the animus if they do not always un-
derstand the drift persistent egotism,
which talks forever of itself, itself,
itself, only itself, and cannot even
feigu the most passing interest in an
other; 6etraction of friends, and 1t
may be of relations-a husband tell
ing of his wife S unpleasantness a wife
complaining of her husbands faults /;
the old assumption of superiority, and
the servile confession of infinite tn-
worthiness. All these are signs and
evidences of garity-vulgarity ofa
far worse type than that which eats
its fish with a steel knife, and says
"you was" "each of the men were"
In fact, true vulgarity resolves itself
into that central point of evil-selfsh-
ness. The unsel6sh can never be
really vulgar. They may be uncouth,
but they cannot be more, while the
best top-dresssing of manner to be
found in the whole world cannot make
the substance refined where that one
foul canker ofegotism and indifference
to others lies at the heart of things.
If A good piano receives proper
care its value increases with use. It
becomes more mellow, more respon-
sive and richer even In appearance.
Avoid placing piano near the win
dow, as the varying temperatures
which necessarily exist in such a po-
sition are injurious to the strings.
Be careful too, that you do not have
one end of the instrument near t1re
and the other end near window or
door. When room has become very
cold do not heat 1t too quickly, but
increase the heat gradually.

Il said I believed the general effect
of alcohol on mankind was wholly
bad; that il was bad even in small
quantities; that if distilled beverages,
SUCH as whisky, brandy and rum, had
any good effects, they were due to the
fact that the aromatic and fragrant
substances therein stimulated the di-
gestive secretions and thus overcame
to d certain extent the bad effect of
the alcohol which they contained. |
further said that l was in theory a
prohibitionist, but that there were
practical difficulties in the way of pro-
hibition, and that the better plan
would be to abolish the saloons, and
that if people wanted to drink distilled
beverages they should do so quietly at
their homes and with their foods, and
not in saloons. / did not suggest nor
advise young men to drink liquor of
