QUIETUDE OF REAL WORTH
Manners and Attitude OF Man
Of the World.

1 wish cities would teach their best
lesson-of quiet manners. 1t is the
foible especially of American youth
pretension. The mark of the man of
the world Is absence of pretension.
He does not make a speech; he takes
a low, business tone, avoids all brag.
10 nobody, dresses plainly, promises
not at ALL performs much, speaks In
monosyllables, hugs his fact. He calls
his employment by It's lowest name
and so takes from evil tongues their
sharpest weapon. His conversation
clings to the weather and thu. news.
yet he allows himself to be curprised
into thought and the unlocking of his
learning and philosophy.
How the imagination is piqued by
anecdotes Of some great man passing
incognito,> as king in gray clothes:
Of Napoleon affecting q plain suit at
his glittering levee; Of Burns or Scott
or Beethoven or Wellington or Goethe
or any container of transcendent
power passing for nobody; OF Epami-
nondas, who never says anything. but
will listen eternally;" of Goethe. who
preferred trifling subjects and COM
mon expressions in intercourse with
strangers, worse rather than better
clothes and to appear a little more
caprcious than he was. There are
advantages in the old hat and box
coat.-Emerson.

Tendency Toward Mediaeval,sm.

JonoeuCy So"AtU meoIAoVAtS0ss
Although we live in an age of hustle
there is a constant tendency among US
toward mediaevalism, as witnessed in
medieval civic costume adopted by
newly created boroughs, academic cos
tune for the undergraduates of the
new universities, and the proposal at
Edinburgh, founded just after tho
reformation, to introduce the scarlet
gown. Another instance comes from
Belgium, where recently a number Of
towns and communes have obtained
powers to reintroduce their ancient
civic seals. The commune of Ransart
and other little towns in the neighbor-
hood of Thudinic and Chimay are seek
ing royal permission to assume their
ancient arms. Some OF these places
have only the Impressions, but at the
communal house at Montbliart they
have the actual seal which was used
prior to 1894. 1t Is of very artistic de-
sign. and bears the collar Of the Order
OF the Golden Fleece, with the legend,
