HOUSEHOLD SANITATION.

We hear much of the dust enemy
and we should hear and heed the re-
peated warnings given US in regard to
the evils of dust. The children In
cur schools today will know much bet
ter how to keep clean, sanitary
houses than did grandnlothers,
providing they follow the teaching. A
grain of dust too small to be noticed
by the unaided y may be the abode
OF hundreds of microbes which can

When sweeping, 1t Is best to have
a damp broom and something like
dampened paper or tea leaves to keep
the dust from flying. One can by 3

In sweeping q carpet, q good plan is
TO sweep and take up the dust from

much easier. to have rugs and bare
floors. The rugs car be taken outside

The dust cloth is another useful ar
dele to consider: those patented af-
ssiss that have some kind of oil In the
weave are good because they hold the
dust and keep It from scattering

binary cloth. it may be dampenad

Dignity of Bishop
No Longer Respected

The waning glorles of our bishoprics
are illustrated onIy IN their palaces.
In the nineteenth century old Arch
bishop Harcourt OF York still drove
about the country in coach and SIX,
though the humble pair, was good
enough for his wife, and Hawley, Arch
bishop of Canterbury, used to be escort
ed from Lamberth Chapel by servants
carrying f1ambeaux. When Lord Chief
Justice Coleridge's father was al the
bar he wished to obtain some appoint
ment within the arChbishop's patronage.
He consulted a friend, who, after advis-
ing him, concluded: And remember
in writing your letter that his grace can
only be approached on gilt-edged pa
per-"
Further evidence OF the old dignity
of the bishops and arChbshops is pro-
vided in letter written by MIR. Glad
stone on an occasion when he had in
advertcntly gone away from a dinner
party at which the Prince of Wales had
been before the latter had left. He
apologized for having done so and
added: I'm my early days not only did
the whole company remain united, II a
member of the royal family were pres
ent until the exalted parsonage had de-
parted, but | we'll reCOlleCt the appliCa-

RUDENESS HAS USE
IN BRITISH POWER
HOME AND ABROAD
Courtesy, Declares London
Truth, Has for Ages Ac-
" companied Downfall.

The King recently criticised the man.
ners of Englishmen and suggested that
II would be a good thing to include the
inculcation of courtesy in the curricula
of schools Immediately everyone re-
made the discovery that Englishmen are
not patterns of politeness; and they be-
gan to deprecate 1t, and say what pity
1t Is, and what could be done to alter
It? And, as a matter OF fact, there are
few things on which the Englishman
prides himself more than his rudeness.
Courtesy has in all ages accompanied
downfall, says London Truth. The
gentlemen and gentlewomen of today
are proverbially at a great disadvantage
them into contact with the uneducated.
Noblesse obige has ruined more persons
than unwise speculation. France has a
name Tor courtesy, so has Italy, so has
Spain. Germany and England and Amer
lea each has a special brand Of bad
manners. Compare the status of these
two groups of countries. Napoleon had
very bad manners So had the great
Goths. Europe had reached u pitch Of
the highest civilization, and then che
barbarian hordes swept over 1t and
washed away all the traditional weak
nesses. Bismarck was so renowned for
bad manners that when he jostled the
Papal Nuncio, and then merely said
I'm Bismarck" the Nuncio replied
IF that Is not an apology, at least II Is
| a perfect explanation"
There are TWO reasons for having bad
manners. These are weakness and
strength. Weakness we put in prison
and strength we call the eCcentriCity OF
| genius. So we have a jungle and zoo
| with the self same beasts in both; but
| our relations TO the two are sinGularly
| different Paris was once a Jungle and
st. Helena n 200; but in between came
| Elba, which taught us again the advis.

SAY OUTING WILL Be
LARGEST EVER HELD
Preparations Are Being
Made to Entertain 10000
Thursday.

Twelve thousand persons attended the
annual outing last year of the WASH
ington Railway Relief Association at
Chesapeake Beach. and several thou
sand more than this figure are ex-
pected at this years festivities at the
same place next Thursday.
Preparations are being made to handle
5000 persons this year, and special ar
rangements are being considered for the
care of the women and children attend
ing. Physicians and nurses will be at
the committee headquarters on the
boardwalk. and committeeman will pa
troll the grounds both day and evening.
In the twelve years that the street
car men have been conducting these
outings. no accident has occurred in
spite of the size of the crowds, and in
view of the larger-than-ever attendance
expected this year, extra precautions
are to be taken that this proud record
is not shattered.
Twelve hundred prizes have been
given by the merchants of Washington
for the games and contests, and the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany has given $500 worth of tickets
which will fall to certain lucky persons.

The Wykhamist motto says that
Manners Makyth Man" II Is quite
wrong. 1t is insult which proves man
is made. Servants work themselves 20

she's that Ugh in 'er ways. Never a

money; IL is largely his supreme and
unsulied insolence which takes him
everywhere. No other nation can go all
even to places to which you. cannot get
n ticket at Cooks, without knowing a
word of any language but his own. and
come back without turning hair.
This the, Englishman does systemat-
descend to learn a few native oaths In
each country. but that is all. 1t springs
from his sense of power, and he would
consider 1t sign OF weakness to abate
one jot the rigor Of his wintry behavior.
He is used to governing savages and
OrientalsE and he has found that cour-
tesy spells weakness to them He Is
used to being curt verbally with his
servants, however carefully he looks
after their welfare, and he knows that
his dignity would be gone n he spoke
to them In soft accents of kindliness.
Bad manners Of this national kind
are the sign-manual of power. and have
something fbrous in them which does
not for moment excuse them, but
which enables the observer to under
I stand them to a certain extent.
Clergymen are perhaps, as a class the
politost men in England. They have to
be, for they preach the creed OF all the
