’Job Work done with Neatness and Dispatch,*^3|r
A Noble Life.
It is indeed interesting and profitatde
to read and study tlie lives of noble
men and women, and parents can not
spend money more wisely than in sup¬
plying tlieit children with good biogra¬
phies of great and good men who stand
out prominently in the world’s history,
not only as wise leaders but bumble
Christians. It is also interesting to note
how excellent traits of character de¬
scend from sire to son through many
generations. Recently we received from
the Royal Publishing Oo., Ri Jnnond,
Va., a new book entitled “Robert Kd
ward Lee, Soldier, Citizen and Christian
Patriot.” One great advantage in con¬
nection with this tiook is that it gives in
a brief but charming manner the histo¬
ry of the Lee family for several hun¬
dred years, showing that Richard Hen¬
ry Lee, Robert IS. Lee, and many other
master minds, sprang from a noble fam¬
ily whose history is as profitable as it is
interesting. Resides an excellent biog¬
raphy of Gen. Lee and account of his
great military campaigns, it tells how
lie won the hearts of the soldiers and
will retain through all ages the affection
of friends and foes. The work also con
tains a large number of interesting
historical documents giving the organi¬
zation of I lie various armies, together
with brief biographical sketches of such .
men as Gen. Joseph E Johnston, Gen
Albert Sidney Johnston, Gen. G. T.
Beauregard, Gen. Braxton Bragg, Gen.
John B. Hood, Lieut.-Gen. A. P. Hill,
Admiral Raphael Semtnes, Gen. Joint
B. Gordon, Gen. James Longstreet, and
Gen. J. H. Reagan. This is the only bi¬
ography of Gen. Lee ever published on
this plan, and it is having a very large
sale. The publishers advertise through

UNINTENTIONAL INSULTS.
Persons Must Be Very Careful When In a
Foreign Country.
A short time back a complaint

the , 8 X, entlemaa the Chmese representing legation herinaj- that
esty in Chnia had been guilty of
conduct unbecoming an ombassador
and a gentleman ; that he had in
suited the Chinese cabinet. Investi
gation, however, showed that the
only conduct of which ho had been
guilty was thumping the table at
which he was sitting to emphasize
a remark. Of course no notice was
taken of the affair, but, all tho
same, the diplomatists of (’.lima
were offended, for in that country
it is an insult to the assembled com¬
pany to thump the table.
It only shows how careful ono
should be in a foreign country. In
England, if a friend is visiting an
other and stays to dinner, he may
ask for Hie loan of a hairbrush with
out giving offense, but in Hungary
be may not. To attempt to borrow

This is a grievous form of insult,
but why it is not known. It is a
very ancient one, and so probably
results from an old superstition.
Again, there are two ways of
pouring out wine in France, as ev¬
erywhere else. One of these is to
hold the bottle so that while pour¬
ing the thumb is facing the table¬
cloth. Tho second way is to hold
the hand reversed—that is, with the
knuckles downward—and this is a
great insult to the assembled guests

corps has its distinctive cap, and
when a member of one meets an¬
other in the street it is etiquette for
each to doff his cap. Should the
other not respond a complaint is
made to his corps, and a duel is
fought—a real duel, with sabers or
pistols, not the fencing duel which
is pastime in Germany, just as foil¬
ing or single stick is in England—for
the insult is nearly the worst that
can he offered.
There is one worse, and that is
spilling or flicking beer over another
student purposely. No apology will
wipe out this offense. Nothing
will, except a duel to the death or
a duel which is continued until one
of the combatants is too badly
wounded to continue the fight. A
minor insult is to refuse to drink
with a student if invited or to re- j
fuse to respond , with . , ‘ Prosit when ,
he raises his glass and says, “Icth
Komme vor,” but this is more a
breach of good manners than an
actual insult.
We might finish with two Span¬
ish examples of curious insults in
South America. The first of these
is to refuse to smoke a cigarette
which another man offers you after
he has had it in his mouth, and the
second is to refuse drink out of the
same glass that a man has just
drunk from, or, worse still, to wipe
it before drinking.—London Tit

How Some Boinan Vouths Select and Woo

Among the myriad charms of
which “TI *” spring "" up here and te,M, there ’ r
amid the sea of brick and mortar,
The most conspicuous of these is the
Pincio and its surroundings, a veri
table rus in urhe. Here nature has
' ably
seconded human skill. The al
titude of the gardens and the mag¬
nificent view they afford make them
unequaled by any other public park.
True their area is small, but what
of thati It brings its visitors all
[ the more in touch with one another,
and this is the secret ot its charm
for the Romans, whatever may be
its attraction for strangers, for, let
the truth he fold, the Pincio is the
great flirting ground of Rome. Nor

friendly, especially to strangers, the
commercial value of whose visits to
their land they appreciate, but this
cordiality, even to their own coun¬
trymen, has its limit. In no coun
try more than in Italy is a man’s
home his castle, and, except in the
highest circles and where there is
no poverty to be concealed, he is
chary of his hospitality. This is es¬
pecially true ot Rome and Naples.
Therefore, if neither she nor her
parents receive many visitors, how
is the Roman girl of the bourgeoise
class who is not “in society” to
meet tho inevitable lover for whose
advent and her consequent emanci¬
pation from parental tyranny she
longs more ardently than young
women usually dot The answer is,
“The Pincio.”

If she he a wise maiden, she will so
maneuver that the chairs will be
placed on the main pathway where
every tine must pass. This being
achieved, she may await develop¬
ments, and, if she have pretensions
to beauty, she will not long be left
in anticipation. The young men
who pass will gaze at her approv¬
ingly, ami finally one, to whom she
may especially appeal, will detach
himself from the crowd and tako up
his stand before her. Thus is ini¬
tiated the first chapter of the ro¬
