TEACH OLD-FASHIONED MAN
NERS.

Our great-grandmothers taught
their daughters that 'repose of
manner was the first requisite of
true propriety. No well-bred lady
would fidget in company, put her
hands to her face, toss her head or
finger her buttons. If she talked she
did it in soft voice and without ges-
ticulation. no matter how many rings
she wore or how pretty her hands
might be.
She was taught even to control her
features; that squirting and winking
the eyes and twitching the mouth
were not mice" and they could and
should be intermitted in polite sOcie-
ty. In sitting, neither the knees nor
the feet were to be crossed, rocking
was Odiously vulgar, yawning and
stretching were unspeakable offenses
and. above all, the hands must be
crossed or folded in the lap and kept
there.
We plead for at least a partial re-
sumption of the old forms. Let
mothers once more teach their
daughters to sit still in company, to
cultivate calmness. Let women learn
to carry on earnest conversation in
subdued tones and without gesticula-
tion.-WeStern Star

An episode which has Just conclud-

tlsh capital with shame which will
not easily be erased The rector of
an Episcopalian church erected a
Calvary on the outer wall of the
building, with the object of drawing
the lapsed masses of the district to a
contemplation of the sufferings of
their Redeemer. Immediately a flu
rlous cutlery was raised against the
outrage to the Protestant sensibili-
ties Of the people" Large crowds
collected before the church, and the
rector was mobbed on leaving it after
service. Much of the. agitation was
due to society misnamed The
Protestant Sons and Daughters of
Freedom" which published state

OF the Roman imperial edicts against
christianity were mild and temperate.
