Ever since the discovery of uric acid

The Massachusetts commissioners

GOOD
Little Acts That Speak Aloud About q
Persons Breeding.

1t is always the merest trifes rather
than the big things Of life which In
dicate the manners and tastes Of the
average person, says a writer in the
London Chronicle. A glarins social
error, a particularly rude action or
tactless speech are not made with too
great frequency. but other less obtru-
Bive faults are often committed-some-
times solely - through Ignorance or
want of thought.
1t is just as grave a mistake to be
too polite as to be abominably rude.
The p]ainstakingly polite person is very
trying to encounter, for extremes often
meet, and he generally succeeds in be-
ing actually i'll bred. For instance,
there is always the man who. in the
mistaken idea that a woman should
always precede him, allows her to fight
her way into u crowded train, descend
unaided and walk before him into q
restaurant that is rather full.
Removing his right glove before
shaking hands with a woman: raising
his hat when he offers a damsel his
| seat in a car; carefully plotting his fair
| companion across a crowded street;
| walking on the outside Of the pave
ment and refraining from sitting when
talking to a woman who happens to
be standing, are all instances Of those
little things which mark the good
breeding and thoughtfulness of q man
Unfortunately in some cases these
things do not come by instinct, but
rather through the hard school of tx
perience.
On the other hand, a woman requires
to be just as careful Of her manners
1t Is very exciting no doubt to talk
loudly and initiate casual hearers into
the mysteries Of an intimate conversa'
ton with another woman. Unfortu'
nately the listeners are only contemp
tuously impressed with the fact thai
the speaker is incapable Of controlling
her wv voice.
1t is usually either nervousness OF
thoughtlessness that prompts a woman
to display her worst side to the world
She will take n scat that is offered tt
her in a crowded car without a wore
of thanks or else will make the chival
rous person feel still more embarrass
ed by Il quick and emphatic refusal tt
profit by his generosity, or perhap:
she will rush through swing door:
without bothcring to notice if any on
is likely to be caught in the rebound
elbow people who are in her way
walk on the wrong side Of the stree
or fail to remember that she must al
ways bow first to her men acquain
tances before they raise their hats.

Love, Life and EugenIcs.

Suppose the e%ugenists could have
their way and Danish love. who would
care to live? What purpose would life
have? 1t would have lone. There
would be no life. only an existence,
wearisome and dull. The world feels
that love is beautiful, it sees in prac-
tice that it is true. Love makes the
world, love keeps it, only to love shall
1t be given in the future. Therefore
have poets sung it and story tellers
told of it; therefore do eyes shine and
cheeks burn for it. Therefore it is the
