The Formal “Can."

Whatever may betide, men have good cause to nejoice that they bear no part in that fa-owning bore of all bores known at the “formal call.” That is a feminine institution. It is an invention of the aex, and the sex .groans under its yoke. Man smokes his Durham in beatifio peace, while the wife and daughters pay tribute to the formal call. He hears the sotto voce prayer that parties will be out, and that the matter can be dispatched with a' card. He quietly notes the sigh of relief when the exhausted women return after hours of social distress. He observes the tax of dress incident to the affair, the bad temper it invokes, and tbs hypocrisy and total abgpnce of any equivalent in the way for all this slavish adherence to custom, and then dimly realizes the mfcaculoua felicity of his own escape from such thralldom, and it maybe takes comfort in the thought that the whole business falls totally on those who have made him pay the piper for countless other freaks and whims of fashion and caprice? The elasticity of conscience with which the gentle creatures endeavor to mitigate the infliction of the (Of lal call by convenient fibs, furnishes tfhe masculine monster some amusing food for study, and it may lie doubted whether he would budge an inch to abolish the formal call. It is diamond cut diamond; women annoying women. In suoh a transaction the wise man holds aloof and lets the dainty belligerents masquerading as friends manage the hollow and artificial show as suits themselves. It is not often that he has an opportunity of keeping •ut of a game is which women array their wits against one another instead •f against the common tyrnht. man.

One of the very best efforts that humane societies have ever made is that of inducing horse owners to do away with the blind bridle. There are cases where, perhaps, blinds are useful, but usually they are useless, and not only that, but their tendency is to hurt the eyes. They are a great impediment to the free sight of the horse, whose eyes are so set that it looks rather sidewise instead of directly in front. "With a blind on, therefore, the animal has no Dee range of vision. In addition to this, if the blinds press against or strike the eye, the letter will most likely be damaged. Under all the circumstances the praotioe of putting blinds upon our bridles is about as foolish as checking up a horse's head until the only thing that it can see is the sun and sky. Some may think that blinds look well, but even that is doubtful. We are of the opinion that a blindless bridle looks just as well on a horse as anything that can be put on its head. In our tow ns and cities where humane societies have an opportunity to create publio sentiment in regard to the matter, many of our most stylish turnouts have no blinds on the bridles. —Western Rural* Ego Toast.—Beat four eggs, yelks sad whites together, thoroughly; put two table-spoonfuls of butter into a saucepan and melt slowly; then pour in the eggs and heat without boiling -» a slow lire, stirring qttnstantly- ,M a little salt, and when hot srT.mi ■.& slices of nicely-browned towd. <tud.- <n v«

*flfUti*K tn a station the othsc day X had a little sermon preached in the way 1 like, and m report it for your benefit, because it taught one of the lessons that We all should learn, and taught it in such a simple, natural way that no one ■oold forget it: “It was a bleak, snowy day, the train was late, the ladies’ room dark and smoky, and tho dozen women, old and young, who sat waiting patiently, all looked cross, low-spirited, 01 stupid. I felt all three, and thought, as I looked around, that my fellow beings were * very unamiabie, uninteresting set. “Just then a forlorn old woman, shaking with palsy, came in with a basket of ware and went about, mutely offering them to the sitters. Nobody bought anything, and the poor old soul stood blinking at the door a minute, ao if reluctant to go into the bitter storm again. She turned, presently, and poked about thß room, as if trying to find something, and then a pale lady in black, who lay as if asleep on a sofa, opened her eyes and saw the old woman, and instantly asked, in a kind tone, ‘Have you lost anything, ma’am? “‘No, dear; I’m looking for the heating pluco to warm me ’afore I goes out agin. My eyes is poor, and I don’t seem to find the furnace nowheres.’ “ ‘Here it is,’ and the lady led her to the radiator, placed a chair, and showed her how to warm her feet. “ ‘Well, now,’ ain’t that nice?’ said the old woman, spreading her ragged mittens to dry. ‘Thanky, dear; this is proper comfortable, ain’t it ? I’m almost frozen to-day, being lame and wimbly, and not selling much makes me downhearted.’ "“The lady smiled, went to the counter, bought a cup of tea and some kind of food, carried it herself to tl. e ol<i woman, and said, as respectfully and kindly as if the poor woman had been dressed in silk and fur: ‘Won’t you have a cup of tea ? It’s very comforting a day like this.’ “ ‘Sakes alive! do they give tea this depot?’cried the old woman in a tone of innocent surprise that made a smile £0 round the room, touching the gloomiest face like a streak of sunshine. ‘Weil, now, this is just lovely,’ added the old lady, sipping away with a relish. ‘This does warm tho cockle* of mv honrfc.’
