ETIQUETTE.

Small Social Forms. ' r (' It has been often said that the host Bingle rule of etiquette is to do unto others as you would have others do unto you. But this rule is hardly complete enough for the guidance of a young man who first goes into what is called society. There are many details which it is essential one should learn. These often differ in different places. For instance, in America it is customary for a lady to speak to a gentleman acquaintance first on the street. On the continent of Europe the rule is reversed. Travel familiarizes one with the different interpretations of etiquette in different countries, and shows one that after all there are no fixed rules for all places. They are, in every place, but trifling! barriers to protect people from boors or bores, and are of no intrinsic importance. The most delightful society is that in which the members are so well versed in rules of etiquette that they can readily discover when to use and when to dispense with them.

Is an Introduction Required? “I am invited to an entertainment. I never meet any one in the house, or I know the daughter but not the host and hostess. What shall I do about Bpeaking to them ? Shall I get some one to present me?” This is a question which often puzzles those who do not stop to think. An invitation to a house gives one an acquaintance with all the family under its roof. There is no necessity for an introduction. On entering the drawingroom it is proper to step to where the host and hostess are receiving. It is also proper to speak to any of the family, and before departure leave should also be taken of those who are at home. Deal Gently. Consideration for the feelings of others should be carried into every department of life. Errors and oversights ought never to be dealt with severely unless they become habitual. We are all liable to make them, and, when we do, wish to be treated lenientl. There is a story of a bank president who threatened to discharge a clerk if he did not find a missing paper. The clerk was in despair. He hunted everywhere without success. At last seeing the President’s overcoat hanging where he could examine it without detection, he explored the pockets and found the papdf. When we abuse others for errors let us be sure we never make one ourselves. • TV Points and Pointers. It is bad manners to dip bread in tea or coffee at table. Never do it unless when alone in a sick room. It is not proper to tilt a soup plate or use a teaspoon to gather up the last ' drops. It would be very inelegant. In introducing a lady and gentleman always introduce the gentleman to the lady. Say “Mrs. Jones, allow me to present Mr. Jenkins,” or simply,“‘Mrs. Jones, Mr. Jenkins.” The fashionable cards for ladies are now nearly square, though these have not superseded the longer cards lately used, as many ladies prefer the latter. The name is printed upon them in script.

More Valuable than Learning. Backwoods School Teacher (to boy) —“My gracious, you have been two hours on this lesson, and don’t know it yet. What’s the matter with you 7” Boy (yawning)—“l’m er sleepy.” Teacher—“ Why didn’t you sleep last night?” “Boy —“Had ter chop down er coon tree. Dogs treed ’fo bedtime, an’ it tuck us mighty nigh all night ter chop down the tree.” Teacher—“ Why didn’t your father make you go to bed ?” Boy —“Who, pap? W’y, lie’s the one what made me chop down the tree.” Teacher—“ You don’t tell me so?” Boy —“Yas, I do, ur yer wouldn’t know nothin’ erbout it.” Teacher—“ You don’t mean to say that your father would rather you would catch a coon than to learn something ?” Boy—“ That’s dad all over. They buys coon skins in town, but I ain’t seed nobody er hurtin’ air ter buym’ I’arnin’ thar yit. Dad lowed that he'd git er pint uv licker with that air skin, an’ I’ll bet he do. Licker’s licker with pap. ” Teacher—“l am astonished at your mother.” Boy —“So is pap. ’Lows that he never did see er ’oman that could chaw ez much Hat terbacker e? she ken. Wall, I hear ther dogs er barkin’, an’ I reckon they’ve treed ernother coon. Good day.” —Arkansaw Traveler.

It has been suggested that, in order to insure greater strength and consequently more safety in ropes used for scaffolding purposes, particularly in localities where the atmosphere is destructive of hemp fiber, such ropes should be dipped, when dry, into a bath containing twenty grains of sul : phate of copper per litre of water, and kept in soak in this solution some four days, afterward being dried; the ropes will thus have absorbed a certain quantity of sulphate of copper, which will preserve them for some time both from the attacks of animal parasites and from rot. The copper salt may be fixed in the fiber by a coating of tar or by soapy water, and in order to do this best it may be passed through a bath of boiled tar, hot, drawing it through a thimble to press back the excess of tar, and suspending it afterward on a staging to dry and harden. In a second method the rope is soaked in a solution of 100 grammes of soap per litre of water. The copper soap thus formed in the fiber of the rope is stated ntoqpys&erve it even better than tar is capable of doing, which acts mechanically to imprison the sulphate of copper, which is the real preservative in the case. - ( A New HAVESdnfant over two months old weighs only 2f pounds.

SHAMEFUL ABUSE

Reaped Upon a Noted Englishman for Hla Open Honesty. | W'm Ed. Robson, M. D.,L. It C. A I, M. K. ! Q. C. P. I, latq of the Royal Navy, of Eng- i laud, has got iuto professional trouble for writing the following open letter to the vditor - of the London Family Doctor. “I believe it to Ke the duly of every physi- j oiaii to make known auy means or remedy j whoreby sickness can be prevented, and it is i for tins purpose 1 write to give my experience j both here and abroad. 1 ask the publication , of the statement, that people may bo warned before it is too late, to say to them that there is at hand a means by winch they may be restored to perfect health. It is well known to the medical world, aud indeed to the laity, that a certain diseaso is making a terrible havoc; that next to consumption it is the most fatal, and that when fully developed there is nothing to be done for the sufferer. “Phys cians and scientists Lave long been trying to throw light upon the cause, and, if possible, hud in nature a medicine for this fatal malady. They have shown, absolutely, that the blood-purify lug organs of vital importance are the kidneys, and-that when they once fail the poison winch they should take out of the blood is ear. iod by illo blood into every part pf the body, developing disease. “In toy hospital practice m England, India and South America, and also while a surgeon in the ltoyal Navy of Groat Britain, I gave a great deal of attention to the study of diseases of the kidneys aud urinary organa, and found., that not only was the cure of clirouic Bright’s Disease hopeless, but that kidney disease was remarkably prevalent; much more so than generally known, and waß the causj of the majority of cases of sickness, aud further, that the medical profession has no remedy which exerts any absolute control over these organs in disease.

“Some time ago, when I had a case which resistod all regular treatment—which is very limited complicated with the passing of stones from toe kidneys, much against my will I permitted my patient to use Warner’s safe cure, of which I had heard marvelous results. In his case the result was simply marvelous, as the attack was a severe one, aud development very grave, for an analysis showed per cent, of albumen and granular tube casts. “The action of the medicine was singular and incomprehensible to me. I have never seen anything like it. The patient recovered promptly, and is to-day a well and healthy man. This stitoulated my inquiry into tho merits of the remedy, and, after analysis, I found it to bo of purely vegetable character, harmless to take under all circumstances. “Casting aside all professional prejudice, I gave it a thorough trial, as I was anxious that my patients should bo restored to health, r.o matter by what medicine. I prescribed it in a great variety of cases, Acute, Chronic, Bright’s iseaso, Congestion of the Kidneys, Catarrh of the Bladder, and in every instance did it speedily offect a cure. “For this reason I deem it my duty to give to the world this statement regarding the value of Warner’s safe cure. I make this statement on facts lam prepared to produce and substantiate. I appeal to physicians of large praotice who know how common and deceptive diseases of the kidneys are, to lay aside professional prejudice, give their pationts Warner’s Base cure, restore them to perfect health, earn their gratitude, and thus bo true physicians. “I am satisfied that moro than one-half of the deaths which occur in England are caused, primarily, by impaired action of the kidneys, a;.d the’consequent retention in tho blood of the poisonous uric and kidney acid. Warner’s safe, care causes the kidneys to expel this poison, checks the escape of albumen, relieves tho inflammation, and prevents illness from impaired and impoverished blood. Having had more than seventeen years’ experience in my profession, I conscientiously and'emphatically state that I have been able to give more relief and effect more cures by the use of Warner’s 'safe cure than by all the other medicines ascertainable to the profession, the majority of which, I am sorry to say, are very uncertain in their action. ”

‘■lsn’t that a straightforward, manly letter?” “Indeed it is.” “Well, but do you know the author has been droadfully persecuted for writing it?” “How so? Whut has he done to merit it?” “Done? He has spoken the truth ‘out of school,’ and his fellow physicians, who want the publio to think they have a monopoly in curing diseases, aro terribly angry with him for admitting professional inability to reach certain disorders. “That letter created a wonderful sensation among the titled classes and tho public. This jarred the doctors terribly. The College of burgeons and Queen’s College, from which institution ho was graduated, asked for an explanation of his unprofessional conduct, and notilied him that unless he made a retraction they would discipline him. “The doctor replied that he allowed his patients to make use of Warner’s safe cure only after all the regular metlTods had failed, and when lie was satisfied that thero was no possible hope for them. Uuon their recovery, after having used Warner's safe cure, he was so nvueh surprised that he wrote the above letter to tho Family Doctor. Ho regretted that the faculties found fault with his action in the matter, but ho could not conscientiously retract tho facts as written to the Family Duedor. f “The faculties of both colleges replied that unless he • retracted they should cut him off, which would naturally debar him f rom again practicing his profession, and also prevent his securing another appointment in the lioyal Navy! “To illustrate: tho doctor’s dilemma is certainly an unpleasant, one, emphasizing, as.it does, both his own honesty, anil the contemptible prejudice and bigotry of English men cal inon. ’1 he masses,however,having ho sympathy with their nonsense, keep on using the remedy he so highly recommends and got well, while the rich and able depend upon tho prejudiced doctors and die!

The Anti-Fat Craze.

•So the Lancet heads an article which begins with these words: “There is inconceivable folly in the fear of fatness.” We think the editor fails to recognize one prominent cause of this fear, especially among women, viz., ,its supposed detraction from beauty of form. English women, with their tendency to embonpoint, may have a different standard; but here, where the tendency is rather in the opposite direction, we are confident that the controlling feeling against being fat is an a_sthetic one. This makes many persons indifferent to considerations of health—just as, for the sake of imagined beauty, some women are ready to eat arsenic, or use dangerous cosmetics, or go half clad, or to lace their chests at the expense of the vital organs. In this country, at least, apart from this consideration, we do not think there would be any craze on the subject. Still, there is truth in what the Lancet says. The fear is more or less prevalent that fat persons are specially liable to “fatty degeneration” of the heart, one of the most dangerous of diseases. Now, there may be a large and troublesome accumulation of fat around the heart, but this a wholly different thing from fatty degeneration. In the first case the fat is outside the heart, and the heart may be as sound and Vigorous a 3 ever; in the second case, the very substance of the heart is, more or less extensively changed.to fat.

It may be thought that tho former may cause the latter. Says the Lancet: “There is not the least physiological connection between them. As a matter of fact, what is known as fatty degeneration occurs Qiore fre juently in those persons who are lean than in those who are fat.” But may we not get rid of a superabundance of fat, whether as a burden or as a deformity ? In rare cases the tendency to fat is the result of disease which may be remedied by intelligent treatment. Generally, however, some people incline to fat, as others dp to thinness, and would be fat on any safe diet. Of course, one may reduce his fat by a starvation process; or, what is equivalent, by drastic drugs, but the result must be temporary. Still, it must be admitted that, as a general thing, food rich in fat, starch, and sugar may increase the tendency to fatness, while food of the opposite character may, to a greater dr less degree, hold the tendency in check. — Youth’s Companion.

The Rapidity of Progress Toward Health, Even when a good remedy for disease is selected, depends in some measure upon the manner in which it is taken Irregular, interrupted doses can afford no fair test of the efficacy of any medicine, however salutary. Taken in proper doses at prescribed intervals, a reliable curative will offect the object of its use. Among remedies’ which, systematically and- persistently used, accomplish thorough and lasting cares, and prevent the recurrence of periodic disease, Hostettor s Stomach Bitters ranks specially high. In cases of dyspopsia, debility, rheumatism, fever and ague, liver complaint, inactivity of the kidneys and bladder, constipation and other organic ma'udies. it is a tried remedy, to which the medical brotherhood have lent their professional sanction, and which, as a tonic, alterative and household specific for disorders o: the stomach, liver ana bowels, has an unbounded popularity.

Too Old.

A young man with an expression of confidence on biaJace entered a Michigan avenue clothing store and asked: “I am straight business. I want a suit of clothes. There are seven of us who will buy bur clothes at the same plat e. 1 have been sent on ahead to get prices.” “Humph!” “If I bring the other six here to buy what will you make this S2O suit for ?” The clothier went over and'sat down by the stove with a di.-gusted look on his fat e. “Y'ou didn’t answer my question.” “My frendt, please go oudt. You make me. werry tired!” “What’s the matter with you ? Don’t you want me to bring the party here?” “No, my frendt, I don’t, All my sales to-day go to an orphan asylum, and I like to keep ’em down to a summer coat and a pair of second-hand pants.

Accounts are given in the German technical, journals of some interesting experiments which have been made, and it wou'd appear with success, in the employment of paper in piano construction. The case is made entirely of paper, as a substitute for wood, the material being so compressed as to be susceptible to the Mgk polish which is required for such instruments. As described, the color is a creamy white; the tone is reported to be characterized by sweetness rather than loudness, the souna emitted, unlike the short, broken note of the ordinary piano, being soft, full and slightly continuous, somewhat resembling that of the organ. This modification of tone, which must be considered an attractive feature, is attributed to the evenness of texture of the compressed paper. Mil Buchtkr. a well-known citizen of Lancaster, Pa., inter used St. Jacobs Oil, and considers it an excellent remedy in cases of swellings, bruises and bums. According to the Belgian savant, a man attains his maximum weight about his fortieth year, and begins to lose it toward his sixtieth year. A woman, however, does not attain lier maximum weight until her fiftieth year. The weight of persons of the same age in different classes of society also differs. In the aliuent classes the average maximum weight is 172 pounds, and is attained at fifty years. In the artisan class it is 154 pounds, atta ned at forty. Among farm laborers it is 171 pounds, attained at sixty. In the general classes it is 164 pounds, anaiis reached between forty and fifty years of age. * ' In grinding brass valves do not use emery.

Each begged a tress of her hair in exchange for a loik of -his own, to whi h the charming creature readily assented, and without touching a single tuft of her head cunningly managed to effect a change of parcels by which each gentleman received a curl of his irival's cap.l aries.
