Good Manners.
A friend of yours and mine has very
Justly defined good breeding to be “the
result of much good sense, some good
nature and a little self denial for the
Bake of others, and with a view to oh
talu the same Indulgence from them.”
Taking this for granted—as I think it
cannot be disputed—it is astonishing to
me that anybody who has good sense
and good nature can or initially fail
In goo I breeding. As to the modes of
It, Indeed, they wiry according to per
eons, places and circumstances and are
on ly to he a (i .fired by observation and
experience, but the substance of it is
everywhere and eternally the same.
Good manners are to particular socle
ties wluit good morals are to society hi
general their cement and security.
And ns laws are cnqctod to enforce
good morals or at least to prevent the
ill effects of bad ones, so there are cer¬
tain rule* of civility, universally im¬
plied and received, to enforce good
manners and punish bad ones.—Ches
terfield.
Made Fo-r Fut Men.
One of Urn narrow arches in the gal¬
lery of the chapel at Columbia univer¬
sity is not exactly symmetrical, al

the ensu.il observer. The reasu* for

the early visitors was a remarkably fat
man, who found himself wedged into
the areh when he tried to squeeze
through and was extricated v.i.h some
difficultly. Th bu i 1 ders, rccognizing

rificing symmetry and harmony to
practical need, as the pier.was so con¬

Caribou Horns.
Kot one out of every ten female cari¬
bou has horns. When they do have
them, they we much smaller than
those of the bull. The horns of the
female have, however, in general many
more branches than those of the bull,
and they are ranch more regularly a.nd
finely formed. The cows carpy tliolr
horns much longer than the bulls.
They have been seen with their horns
In the month of April. The old bulls
shed their horns from the 10th U> the
hist of November. They hardly ever
carry them afier the month of Novem¬
ber. The young hulls shed theirs from
the first of Dcoerttbcr until the middle
of February. The younger the animal
the longer lie retains his horns.
The Mae With the Wooden Hat.
A young Scotsman was shown into
the office of a great engineer at Bir¬
mingham. He was wearing a hat of
extanordinary shape, and at his nerv
otisness at mooting the man of fame he
let the hat slip. It fell with a hollow
thud upon tin> floor. The engineer look¬
ed with astonishment at the thing. The

the noise it had caused, was of
wood, he explained, He had made it
himself, turning it with his father's

without much change of form, but at
other times rising into slender, mov¬
ing columns, in which an excited im¬
agination might recognize the flaming

ly apply to much of the young Amer¬
ica of today.
Hugo and Verdi.
Verdi labored long before he per¬

that the tragic beauties of Ms “Le

operatic effects, to attend a perform
nuce of “Rigoletto.” He succeeded at
length,Hind Hugo sat in the box with
the composer and listened to the op
era. But not a word did he speak,

Great Musician's Eccentricities.
Dolls were the. idols, after his be¬
loved instruments, of Domenico Dra
gonetti, the king of the double bass.
He had a huge collection of th?xo pup¬
pets dresses! In various national cos¬
tumes, and wherever Dragonetti went
the dolls were sure to go. That was
only one of this eccentric genius’ pecul¬
iarities. He would never play unless
his dog were in the orchestra, and no
body would have got a note cut of
him unless he had been permitted to
; rit in the orchestra next to the stage
r; This was a precaution to enable
him to vavo his wonderful instrument
In case of f P. The instrument itself
he brought from the monastery of SL
Pietro when on a vis!! * .Vincenza. and
when he died he bequeathed V to St
Mark’s. Venice, to be used at solemn
services.—London Standard.
