ETIQUETTE AND COMMON SENSE.

The Relation* Between the Sexes Should Stand on Proud Equality. The amount and degree of unmitigated nonsense that occasionally gets itself spread abroad by and among sensible people under the disguise of being etiquette are, to say the least, somewhat Astonishing. This has no reference to that common sense and kindliness, that genial courtesy and mutual respect that under the general title of “good manners” form the minor morols of society. Nor does it mean the arbitrary rules by which society in particular communities decides to guide the walk of its members in matters of small importance. These are purely arbitrary, are founded on no particular sentiment of ideas, and vary widely with different countries and communities. To be sure, they may be, and often are, full of shoddy or sham; their observance is usually insisted upon the more strongly the more arbitrary they are; and the freedomloving individual may feel their demands to be oppressive and distasteful. But for all this there is a certain necessity of granting obedience and of submitting gracefully to “the conventions.” But aside from these things there are certain absurd ideas that get confused in some way with this kindly common sense and these formal rules, and occasionally get themselves accepted as a portion of that labyrinthine structure called etiquette. And, by way of illustration, we clip the following from an article answering the questions of several correspondents, as to what a young lady should do under certain circumstance. “Another writes to ask us if she should take a gentleman’s hat and coat when he calls. Never. Let him take care of those. Christianity and chivalry, modern and ancient custom make a man the servant of’women. The old form of salutation used by Sir Walter Raleigh and other courtiers was always, “Your servant, madam,” and it is the prettiest and most admirable way for a man to address a woman in any language. ” Now, we submit that the question of whether or not a lady should be conscious of a gentleman’s hat and coat when he calls has nothing to do with the relations between men and women. It is something to be amenable to places and circumstances and individuals. And, as for man being the servant of woman, or “the old forms of salutation,” it is all arrant nonsense. They should stand on a ground of equality, with mutual respect and admiration and regard, each gladly rendering to the other whatever service is in their power and each receiving with gratitude. It is the service which Kings and Queens render to each other, not that which courtiers give to their sovereigns. The exaggerated sentiment that fills such a form of address and such a manner of regarding the feminine sex in reality covers a great deal more contempt than it does respect. The more, a man exaggerates and talks about the exalted respect in which he holds womankind the less of the real article he has. A man who falls in with a system of etiquette that makes him consider himself “the servant of woman” may bow low, with hat in hand, and say: “Your servant, madam,” but the more he does it the more contempt he will feel for her, as he ought. For can any manly, self-respecting man abase himself before another person and see his hollow homage accepted without feeling contempt for the one accepting. Wherefore, we say that the only proper ground upon which the two sexes can stand is that of a proud equality, each seeing and reverencing the good qualities of the other.— Boston Globe.

Outrunning Death.

“Think of a man getting seasick from riding on a locomotive engine,” said Counselor Farley, who shot down from Philadelphia -to Atlantic City at the rate of more than a mile a minute to reach the bedside of his dying child. “Seasickness is, of course, not the term to apply to the disorder, but that expresses it better than any other name I can think of. My ride created the same feeling of wretchedness that a few hours on the ocean always gives me, only instead of its being caused by the rolling of a vessel it was brought’on by the pitching and tossing of the locomotive. “I received a telegram telling me of my child’s condition about 2 in the a<fterneon. Every moment after that seemed an hour: I realized how extreme was the danger, for I had been up for several nights with the little one. I engaged a special conveyance at once. There was nothing but the locomotive, and I sat in with the engineer. Dispatches were sent ahead ordering all regular trains to run for sidings and remain until the engine passed. We were about a minute getting out of the business part of Camden. Then we flew, but no rate could be too fast for me. As we rushed along, we enveloped ourselves in a cloud of dust that was so thick sometimes that I could not see half a dozen yards ahead. The whistle screamed a note of warning almost every second. Indeed, it seemed to my excited mind that it was all one wild shriek, extending from the Delaware to the sea. After we had gone a few miles the engine began to pitch and toss, and,as the speed increased, the motion grew more violent. Now we seemed to drop into a gulf, then to rear into - the air and, again, as as thought, to be in the Act of leaping a creek. The trees and fields and houses were like a long, black, waving streak. I began to feel faint and dizzy, and if it had not been for the rushing wind I fear I must have swooned in that terrible cab. The engineer was perfectly cook He afterwards declared that never before had he gone at so high a rate of speed for so great a distance. I told him of my feeling of sickness. ‘Yes,’he said, ‘I have heard old railroad men tell how passengers had been made seasick by fast riding, but I have never seen it before.’ When we struck the meadows and I got a whiff of salt air I braced up a bit, but I felt queer and unsteady on my legs, even after we had reached the station and had alighted. I felt as if I

had just come in from a rough sea voyage. But I was in time. I once more saw the light of my child’s eyes, fading fast, indeed, but still instinct with life, and in that everything else was forgotten.”—Phthidefphwi Times.

Where He Had Us.

There were seven or eight of us in the 1 smoking-car, and by-and-by the cdhversation turned upon hotels. Six of the crowd were going to stop off at the same village in Georgia, and one of them remarked: “Well, gentlemen, you can make up your minus to go -through purgatory to-night.” “Why?” “Well, there is only one hotel in the town, and that is run by the meanest man south of the Ohio river. ” “Do you know him ?” asked a chap who was suspected of being a light-ning-rod agent from Chicago. “I rather reckon.” “And what’s he mean about?” “Everything. He has bugs in his beds, uses beans in his coffee, his rooms are dirty, and he’s a robber in his charges.” “And there’s no other hotel?” “No. If there was he wouldn’t get custom enough to keep a cat alive. He’s the meanest man in the State of Georgia, and if I ever catch him outside of his town I’ll put a head on him.” “I move that we resist any swindle on his part,” said a drummer from ChiChicago. “If I find bugs I’ll fire the bed out of the window,” said a patent-churn man from Ohio. And thus it went on for half an hour, everybody anticipating and predicting, but the conversation finally closed by the originator remarking: “Well, we’ll have to put up with it I suppose, but you can make up your minds to see the meanest, low-down, hang-dog tavern-keeper in America. It was after dark when we reached the village, and, after delaying awhile with the baggage, five of us rode up together in the ’bus. The sixth man had disappeared, and we didn’t see him until we reached the hotel. Then he was discovered behind the desk, a pen over his ear, his coat off—in fact, he was the identical landlord himself! One after another walked up, took a look at him and fell back, and we had adjourned to the veranda and were talking of sleeping out on the grass that night when he came out and said: “Gentlemen, will you walk in and register ?” One followed the other, and though we all remained until the next evening, not a word was said nor a hint dropped about the conversation on the cars. It was only as the train was ready to go that he shook hands all around and kindly remarked: “The meanest, low-down, hang-dog tavern-keeper in America hopes to see one and all again. Have a cigar, gentlemen ?” We sent him a gallon of wine and a box of cigars from Augusta, but he was still our creditor.— Detroit Free Press.

An Adventure with a Lioness.

A portion of the crew of a ship which was anchored off the coast of India once went ashore for the purpose of cutting some wood, and one of the sailors, having through some cause become separated from his companions, was considerably frightened by the appearance of a huge lioness which he saw approaching him. Much to his surprise, however, she did not, on coming up, appear to have any evil designs on him, but instead croiiched at his feet and looked steadfastly first at his face and then at a tree some little distance away. For a time the man could not understand this conduct; but presently, on the lioness rising and walking toward the tree, looking back at him as she went, he found out what it meant. Up in the branches of a tree was a large baboon with two little lion cubs in its arms', and it was because of this that the lioness was in such trouble. The difficulty now presented itself of how to save the cubs, for the sailor was afraid to climb the tree. So, having his axe with him, he resolved to cut down the tree, and this he did, the lioness watching him most anxiously during the whole time. When the tree fell and the three animals with it, the lioness, it is said, dashed with fury upon the baboon and destroyed it; then, having gently caressed her cubs for some time, she returned to the sailor, showed her gratitude by fawning upon him and rubbing her head fondly against him, and at length carried away her offspring, one by one.— Harper’s Young People.

Dining with Apes.

When Isabella L. Bird went to dinner at Kwala Kangsa (Malay Peninsula), the butler led in a large ape, and the Malay servant brought in a small one, both of which were seated at the table, and a Sikh brought in a large retriever and tied him to her chair. These were Mr. Low’s pets and daily companions. This was all done with perfect solemnity, and the dinner proceeded with stateliness. The apes had their curry, chutney, pineapple, eggs and bananas on porcelain plates, and so had the guest. The chief difference was that while she waited to be helped, the big ape was impolite enough (as if he had been at a picnic) occasionally to snatch something from a dish as the butler passed round the table, and the small one before long migrated from his chair to the table, and, sitting by the lady’s plate, delicately helped himself from it. She declares that it was a grotesque but most enjoyable dinnerparty, because it required no conversational effort, and her companions were interesting. All pleasure must be bought at the price of pain. The difference between false pleasure and true is just this—for the true the price is paid before you enjoy it; for the false, after you enjoy. —John Foster. Pride defeats its own ends, by bringing the man who seeks esteem and reverence into contempt.— Bolingbroke. It is claimed as one of the advantages possessed by Florida that it is south of the tornado belt.

It Isn’t My Turn.

In one of the general* hospitals at Nashville, when the place was first occupied by Union troops, there was a queer character employed as nurse. He was a large man, troubled with diabetes. This unfitted him for active service, but did not give him the appearance of an invalid. The boys believed that this man knew when a man was going tn die. Certain it was that when the rapid decline in any man commenced the sympathetic old fellow took his place at the bedside of the unfortunate and was most untiring in his attention and kindnesses. In one row of cots he had closed the eyes of four men in death in as many days. The next man in order, going from right to left, grew nervous and was removed out of the row. The second man shut his lips and determined to get well. One night as this man lay thinking over the mystery of the “fatal row,” and trying to reason about the old nurse’s strange instinct, he heard a whisper from the cot on the left, “I say, stranger, if old Fatty eomes and sits down beside you, hit him one for me, will you? He hangs around for a fellow to die like a dog waiting for a bone.” Days went by and the man with the compressed lips was looked upon as the next victim, and every time the nurse passed the boys expected him to sit down. One night the nurse came through the ward, and discovering that the second man was feverish, picked up a fan and sat down at the head of his cot. Quick as thought the feverish patient sprang up in bed and said wildly, “Take him first,” pointing to the first cot. “You old fool, can’t you count? You can’t jump in this game, old fellow. Clear out, now, None of your sittin’ down by me, when it isn’t my turn. First reliefs gone, second reliefs gone, third reliefs gone, fourth reliefs gone. Why'don’t you make the fifth relief fall in ?” This was the whiserer of the night before, now almost a maniac on the subject of the nurse. The surgeon was called and the man was quieted. But even when he was almost well he dreaded the approach of the sympathetic, kind old nurse. Such superstitions were very common in the hospitals of the army.— Chicago Inter Ocean.

Topnoody.

Mr. Topnoody was in a moral humor the other evening at supper and he introduced the subject of temperance. “My dear,” he remarked to his wife, “did it ever occur to you what a vast field of good is afforded the temperance workers ?” “Well, no, Topnoody, I can’t say I have; I’ve been so busy in the kitchen and getting my fall sewing done that really I have not considered the question,” she responded at more length than usual. “You should do so, my dear, because it is a glorious work, and woman can do more good there than in any other field.” “But how can a woman do work she doesn’t know how.” “Easy enough to learn, my dear. There is not, I presume, any woman but who knows somewhere a poor weak brother to -whom she could come as a minister of grace, and by her kindly questions, get from him his story and pour into his wounded heart the balm of Gilead.” “Does she just have to ask questions, Topnoody, and find out?” “That’s all, my dear. After that she can strengthen the poor fellow, and assist him by her counsel and more substantial means,” “If that’s the way Topnoody, I guess I’ll begin on you. ” “What, my dear? You surprise me!” “I thought I would. Now, Mr. Temperance Topnoody, tell me what is the difference between drug-store whisky and saloon whisky, and tell me again what different brands you take, that one makes ycu smell of coffee, another of cloves, another of cardamon seed, another of orris root and another of lemon peel?” “But, jny dear—” “Hold on, T. T., I’m asking questions now of a poor weak brother, to whom I can come as a minister of grace, and I’ll pour in the balm later. The next question is, why did you try to sign your name to a milk bill the other evening with your night-key, and also what principle of temperance prompted you to fill the coal-scuttle with water instead of coal, and then put the fire out and raise a frightful dust when you poured it into the stove? Yes, Topnoody, and I’d like to know, before I shake up the balm of G., to pour it into the wounded heart, why you—” But the lady was interrupted by a door slamming, and Topnoody had disappeared.—Merchant Traveler.

Philosophy from “Punch.”

Mamma —Both Smythe and Robson were most attentive to Celia last night, papa. Robson’s good as gold, with the temper of an angel—like herself—and Smythe’s a heartless, selfish, dissipated young fiend. I do hope it will be Robson! Papa—Well, Idon’tknow. If Robson’s really all you say, she’ll precious soon get tired of him. Whereas, from your description of Smythe, I fancy she would be able to love him faithfully all her life long. Any woman would! Pater— Well, my boy, how, do you like college ? Alma Mater has turned out some good men Young Hope-ful—Ya-as—she’s just turned me out! [He had been expelled.]

When Old Hickory Dined.

Years ago, when David Crockett was a member of Congress and had returned home at the close of the first session, several of his neighbors gathered around him one day and asked questions about Washington. “What time do they dine in the city ?” asked one. “Common people, such as we have here, dine at 1. The big ones at 3/ we Representatives dine at 4; the aristocracy and Senators eat at 5.” “Well, when does the President fodder?” “Old Hickory?” exclaimed the Colonel; “well, he don’t dine till next day.” The income of the London missionary societies of all denominations amounts to some $7,000,000. The Bible and tract societies add over $2,000,000 more to this grand total.

The Parisian.

A thousand articles might be devoted to defining what is and what is not Parisian and yet no progress be made on this peculiar subject. There is but one way to know about Paris and that is to lounge through its streets, cases, theaters, clubs and restaurants. It is Paris which votes death by dynamite to all aristocrats and it is Paris which goes wild over ballet-dancers, It is Paris which, at mi-careme, throngs the boulevard to assist at the ridiculous processions of Batignolles washerwomen, and the next day goes en masse to carry flowers to Victor Hugo in honor of the anniversary of his birth. Voltaire’s apostrophe—“Ah, Parisians! Parisians! you never dance better than when you are dancing around the corpses of your brothers!” is as true to-day as when he uttered it. A Parisian is generous and cruel, amusing and disgusting, polite and brutal, a bon vivant and a beggar, honest and dishonest —in brief, much that is good and much that is bad, and it is hard to say whether his virtues or his vices are the most humorous.— Cor. San Francisco Chronicle. An insurance agent named Pyle, In running fell over the stile, St Jacobs Oil gave relief, And the pain was so brief, He got up and said: “I should smile.” A lame old lady at Keyser, Had no one to advise her, ’Till Doctqr John Boyle, Tried St Jacobs Oil, Its action did simply surprise her.

The Size of Alaska.

Although Sitka and Alaska are almost synonymous with north pole to average minds in the temperate zone, a comparison of maps shows that Sitka and St. Petersburg, Russia, are in the same latitude, and the mouth of Chilcat river, the most northerly point that we visited, is on a line with the south coast of Greenland. The extent of this northwest territory and the vast distances between points are more than bewildering. Alaska itself is equal in area to all of the United States east of the Mississippi river. Counting the Aleutian chain, the Pirbyloff group, and the 1,100 islands of the Alexander archipelago, the total area of the Alaska island is 31,265 square miles. The island of Attu, the last of the Aleutian chain, is as far west of San Francisco as Bangor, Maine, is east of it, and the indented coast-line of Alaska, measuring 25,000 miles, is’ even greater than the whole coast line of the Atlantic and Pacific shores of the United States put together.— Cor. St. Louis GlobeDemocrat.

More Dignified.

“Well, and how about your mar riage?” “I have broken it off.” “You haven’t, have you?” “Yes. My intended father-in-law wanted references.” “And you were offended?” “Not at’all; only as I knew he would broken off the engagement afterward, I preferred to have the start of him, and broke it off myself. It is more dignified, you know. ” — New York World.

Bellow Cheeks,

▲ pale, flabby skin and limbs ill-clothed with flesh, indicate poverty of the blood. The speediest and surest way to increase its nutrifying properties, to impart vigor and compensate for undue waste of bodily tissue, is to use, with persistence and regularity, the incomparable vitalizer and aid to digestion, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters. A wine-glassful of this agreeable medicine elixir three times a day soon manifests its beneficient action in an improvement of appetite, sleep and spirits, increased bodily subs ance, and the return of color and roundness to haggard, wasted cheeks. This supreme preventive counteracts the effects of severe mental labor and bodily toil, anxiety of mind, exposure in rough weather, miasma in air or water, and tropical heat. It is a reliable safeguard against fever and ague and remittent febrile disease, and overcomes constipation, indigestion, liver complaint, rheumatism and other ailments. The dude is now defined as a work on “the need of common sense,” bound in calf. It might be calf bound in need of common sense. Either is good enough. Catarrh. —MessrH, Hood <fc Co., of Lowell, believe that the be t way to treat Catarrh, and the only Way to get permanent-relief, is through the blood. A constitutional disease requites a constitutional remedy. Hood's Sarsaparilla is a blood purifier and constitutional medicine that can be relied upon, and has cured numerous cases of Catarrh. We think this claim a reasonable one and gladly give it room in our columns. It is said that a true Bostonian is one who, when he is in Rome, does as the Bostonians do. Rev. W. B. Smith, Grafton, Mass, says: “I have derived benefit from us ng Brown’s Iron Bitters for a low state of blood.” Boston girls never giggle. They merely express their delight by a dreamy,far-away, north-pole smile Florence, Ga.—Dr. W. B. Prather, says: “Brown’s Iron Bitters have given satisfaction in every instance I have known it used. ” Fashionable ladies like to get a “new wrinkle,”but they don’t want to show it on the forehead. Diphtheria poisons the blood. Convalescents should take Hood’s Saraparilla to neutralize and eradicate the poison matter. It was the fellow who stepped on a tack who first remarked “the iron has entered my sole. ” w “Put Up” at the Gault House.

HUMORS. The animal fluids of the body, when poorly nourished, become vitiated and cause eruptions to appear on the skin. They are objectionable from their disfigurement, and vary in character from a constant, uneasy sensation to a positive distress and severe pain. Hood’s Sarsaparilla corrects the derangement of the functions, enriches the fluids, purifies the blood, and changes the diseased condition to one of health and vigor. Pimples. Halford Flynn, of New York, had so many pimples and blotches on his face that he was ashamed. He tried various remedies without effect. Hood’s Sarsaparilla purified his blood, and all blemishes disappeared. Ringworm. My brother is a victim to a humor which brings ringworms all over his face. He is using Hood's Sarsaparilla, and already is so much benefited that his eyes are no longer affected. He will continue its use till he feels fully cured.—L. E. Howabd, Temple, N. H. • Rheum. My little boy was so badly afflicted with a humor that we had to mitten his hands to keep him from rubbing the sores, which itched and discharged a watery matter. Before he had finished one bottle of Hood’s Sarsaparilla the sores were healed.—L. J. Clkment, Merchant, Warner, N. H. Hood's Sarsaparilla. Sold by Druggists. $1; six for $5. Prepared only by C. I.

TWELVE HOUKS AFTER. Mb. Henry Babnes, the Tea and Coffee Merchant, 50 Houston Street, New Haven, Conn., writes on May 16,1883: “It is with feeling of gratitude and a desire to benefit my fellow-man that I write you these few lines as testimony to the value of the greatest of all medicines. Eight years have I been a sufferer from kidney disorder and inflammation of the bladder. Sometimes when passing water the pains were something terrible, a scalding, burning sensation, with retention of urine, with sharp pains in my side, loins and back, extending clear to the back of my head, tended to make life miserable. I have been treated by a number of our best physicians, and have used any number of proprietary medicines, all to no avail, obtaining no relief. How long I would have continued in this way Ido not know; in fact I despaired of getting relief, until a neighbor, who had been very much benefited by the use of Hunt’s Remedy, advised me to try it; and, although I had no faith that it would reach my case, yet as he spoke so highly of its great merits I decided to give it a trial, and its use has been attended with the very best possible results. Twelve hours after taking the first dose I experienced relief. I continued on in its use until I had used five bottles, when all the pains had vanished, my otherwise good health returned, and I am free from all pains and am a well man. I am confident my cure has resulted from the use of Hunt’s Remedy, and that alone. “What it has done for me I am positive it will do for others. You are at liberty to use my name or this letter in any manner you see fit.* HURT BY A FALL. When only a boy some 13 years old I was hurt quite badly by a fall, and severely injured my back and kidneys, and was doctored by our best physicians, and tried many remedies, and they all failed, until Hunt’s Remedy was recommended to us by friends that had used it here in Manchester with the greatest success. We purchased a bottle from Z. Foster Campbell’s drug store, and found that I improved very rapidly; was relieved of the pains in back, and after using several bottles found that I was completely cured, and I cannot over-estimate the good Hunt’s Remedy has done me. and can most heartily recommend it to those troubled with kidney complaint: and you can use thia letter as you choose. Respectfully yours. Alonzo P. Marshall. 99 Orange St., Manchester. N. H.. May 7. 1883.
