The old custom was to call young women Miss and old women Mrs., the age of 30 being about the dividing line, regardless of whether they were married or not. Elizabeth A. Kingsley writes to the Women’a Journal that the usage was right and ought to be revived. “It is annoying," she says, “to be introduced to Mrs. Brown, a silly, superficial creat ure yet in her teenß, and the next mo ment to be presented to Miss Williams, who at a glance we perceive to he an in tellectual, noble, broad-souled woman of 85 or 40, worth more than a dozen like Mrs. Brown.” “ to the Right, Farlesa Againat the Wrong."

Tlie boys are apt to put more force in the right arm than they are awere of in such cases, 100 per cent, more than they would be apt to do in sawing wood or carrying up a scutte of coal. They should bear in mind that girls are too valuable to be used for de veloping tlie muscles ns you would gi nasium. Yon don't have to squeexs a girl till her liver isforoed from its nor j mal position, and she ohokes np ami : catches her breath, to show that you i love her. A gentle squeeze of the hand, j the stealing of the arm around her waiat when she is not Ipokin^^^v^^ er you love her, as you sit there in tb j | twilight looking into the guiding-sta 1 eyes, as well as though you grabbed her as you would a sack of wheat and hung on like a dog to a root. Don’t make a barrel hoop of yourself, and try to break every stave in the girl you think you love, and yon will not have cause for the sorrow the poor young man in lowa has, who meant no harm, but lacked a governor to equalize his power. Hug easy till you find that the patient j will stand more, and then you con ap- J ply the proper squeezure. Sometimes we think there ought to be a professor ship in our female schools for testing the capacity of scholars for the trying ordeals which they must pass through. If there was suoh a professorship, and, girls were given a ticket or certificate showing just how much hugging would bo good for them, it might save many valuable lives, but we don’t know 0! many who could hold such a professor ship with credit. Then, if the girls wen given certificates they might alter the i figures aud gei more hugging than was good for their health. The best way ii for young men © nse their good judg ment and then all will be well. CONSUMPTION. Physicians used to hold that a fata ! issue "must follow the formation of tuber cles on the lungs. So long as tubercula formations could be arrested, there wa hope of a patient’s recovery ; but whei these had planted themselves in th lungs, their growth was inevitable an< fatal. Bnt nature is wiser than physi cians, and teaches those who study her ways valuable lessons. Careful dissec tion in recent years has brought to light many curious facts. Foremost among these is the certainty that consumption, in ita tubercular form, is often oured. A series of post-mortem examinations, in an Edinburgh hospital, disclosed the faot that the lungs of one-third of the persons who died after 80 years of age bore marks of tubercles whose growth had been checked, and in many cases the disease wholly cured. Part of the lungs have even been destroyed, and the cavities filled by the contraction and ad hesion of the walls. In some cases brons tissue had completely inclosed the parts disintegrated by the disease. If consumption is curable, as these facts seem to indicate, scientific physicians will never rest till they have ascertained the most effective methods of treatment. “ Mu. Brown, couldn’t you give me a position of some kind with you ?” “Very sorry; don’t think there is any vacancy lin my establishment.” “If you hava nothing else, employ me as your ad viser.” “ Very well, you may begin by | advising me how I can best get rid of you,” ooir rjir krovmibs litk.

At the entrance to sach village or group of mud huts there Is a sort of public building called the Djemaa, or meeting plaoe, and it is <re that the people assemble at inter uls to disouss matters of general inter nt. The men wear a loosely-fitting roolen or cotton shirt, and over it one r two burnous, according to the sea ion. Their head-gear is a kind of skull ®P knitted or of red felt. The arms, legs and the neck are left bare, but the foet are protected by a pieoe of leather attaohed to the foot by a number of in tertwining strings. The drees of the young women is described as extremely graceful. A large pieoe of woolen stuff, folded in two, is attaohed to the shoul der with a metal brooefa, and reaches just below the kneea. A bright-hued jgirdle enoiroles the waist, and their toi jlet is completed by a gaudy handker- jebief wound round Ihe head. With re gard to morals the laws are strict. No jaiftn is allowed to have more than one jwife, or to live with a woman unless the jnnioii has been sanctioned by marriage (Cfsremonies.

The praotice is there indulged in in the open manner, and no more stigm Apr disgrace attaches to it ithan to smoking tobacco. Mr. Watters, the British Consul at Ichang, made careful inquiries last year into the origin of the practice, and he found that it had been indulged in for several hundred years before either the present reigning dynasty or foreign mwohants and their opium were ever dreamt of. The cus tom generations ago passed into the family saora, and at funerals m the West of China, among other gifts which are transmitted into the next world, by burning fao-similes of them in this for the solace of the deceased, is a oosnpktte set of opium-smoking requisites—pipe, Lamp, needle, etc. By the poople the habit, so far from being regarded as a curse, is looked on as a sine qua non for a Chinaman who wishes to maks th* best of both worlds. *peq 04 oS ptrs jojiud eqt ui ;no bb2 erp umj uns> nof prrs 'wptraoiy ‘mto2 suq oipitg;,, ‘pres uioq wswq ee dixp ss ootoa b opqw erp trt fno i;oq eq puß ‘prom b ipiA darn** PT° 178 }iqoßq euo emoi ji sb ‘pnq* MOffcq *lt*P b l unßv> oaoq inff „ —esnn exop Xpiaoj eq; seo(j 1 jeSuß tva ‘noX pcesjß ,, ■pemnxnm oqe (( 4 eni poesnn oabj „ -pooßiqtne Xeqx ■ I gpwauf y j epjig ~ •Xieqquiqs eqj jo *no peyrMf mAq paJSSopSaoj mq ./"Kl **l tuo 'epußiaA eip jo OT I* i; ’^° lUltBCf SBAL jesurep oflßOiqD ® nvw to pbonovncb mint.

Far about half a minute that neigh borhood was so filled with feathers, noise, chunks of doves’ meat, pieces of wood, boys’ yells and women’s shrieks that the people thought there had been a collision on the circus train and the elephant was taking out an old grudge on the Hons.

A HAWK AKIJ A RATTLESNAKE. My musings on the ages of change that it must have taken to mold the sceno to its present aspect were broken seemed to search around like a dog for a place to suit his snakeehip, and then stretched himself out to enjoy the warmth. I was thinking if it was worth while to heave a stone at the monster, when a big shadow swept down and a hawk nearly caught him napping, but uot quite. The snake sprung his rattle and coiled himself ready for attack ( while the hawk hovered around, making a dash, now on the right and now on the left. It was quite an interesting skir mish, but at last the snake made a spring and apparently failed to strike, and, before he could recoil himself, the hawk seized him with both talons close behind the head—in fact, he had him on the neck—and swept into the air, while the snake struggled and twisted, away up into the blue, in wide, circling sweeps, until the struggling reptile hung limp and lifeless, when the hawk came to earth again, and, alighting on a neighboring tree, made his meal on the snake. — Arizona Globe- Democrat. * COLD WBATUKR AND BBALTU. In a report as Registrar of Providenoe, j Dr. Snow remarks : “ There is a popu- j lax error, which wo ofti* spoken of in the winter aeaaon, thaf clear, cold weather is favorable to the publicfcealth. The truth is, that in this climate severe cold weather, if continued more than two or three days, increases the number of deaths as certainly as continued hot weather, though in a different manner, gerere cold depresses the vital feroes, and exposure to it produces fatal results among those persons, or classes of per sons, whose vital force is weakened by mj reuse. Suoh persons are the aged and the very young, and also all who ate sifik re debilitated from any other ora*. Beside this, severe oold is no preventive of, but on the contrary is favorable to, the spread of some of the most fatal diseases, as small-pox, diph theria and sreriatina.” AN ADMIUINB JFATHBH.

Up to a certain i point the remnants were fairly divided, j but unfortunately one chicken, more i plump than the rest, attracted the at tention of one of iho party who had no just claim to it. The proper owner would not let it go, so they both tagged at it; a general tumult ensued, and the gneste grasped the birds by the legs and hit each other in the face with them, pulled boards, shouted, and pelted witii cup*. That such scenes really took place at the dinners given to Rnmg clients is seriously affirmed by Juvenal (v. 26), and in one of the satirio plays of ; JSsohylus (“Tho Ostologi”), a guest j complains that a vessel was broken over : his head, “by no means so fragrant ae i a pot of spikenard.’’ Indeed it would ! be a rather curious inquiry how far drunkenness was sottishneas or mere excitement, for it is obvious that suoh a term is but relative, and it is likely enough that the Greek temperament was easily roused to fury by a very small amount of alcohol. Certainly, no rigid etiquette prevented practical jokes cf a serious kind.,' We read in Plautus of an unfortunate parasite having a pot full of ashes flung at his head at dinner, for no other pur pose than to raise a general laugh against him. Some anecdotes are told which ooniirm this view. One Philox enus, a poot of Cytliera, was dining with Dionysius. Observing a small mallet served on his plate, but a large one on that of tho host, he took the cooked fish and applied it to his ear. “What are you doing?” asked the host. _ it was caught too young, whereas the big fish ou your plate followed in Nereus’ train, and knows all about him.” The host laughed, and ordered the fishes to be exchanged. A oertain Spar tan was dining at a table on whioh sea urchins were served. He took one, and, not knowing how to manipulate it, put it into his mouth, and crunched it shell and all. After making wry faces over it he exolaimed, with true Spartan bravery: “Filthy eating! I am not going to turn a coward, and give you np now, but I sha’n’t take you any more.” INTENSE COLD. An investigation, conducted in thft physical laboratory of Harvard Univer sity, has led to the discovery of the re markable feet that intense sold can de prive magnetized steel bars of nearly all the magnetism which may have been imparted to them. The intense oold was produced by solid oarbonio aoid. This fact has an important bearing upon observations of the magnetic condition of the earth taken in high latitudes ; for what appear to be daily and yearif changes in the earth’s magnetism may be due in large part ro the conditions of temperature, which affees the magnets used in the observations. It also must be concluded that the molecular oondir tien of steel is changed by great cold. NOT KISTAKBN BOZ.TTBNB9*. It is almost impossible to err on the side of being too polite; therefore it is by no means mistaken politeness for a young gentleman to lift his hat to ladies he has known for years, and it would eertainly be considered as very impolite for a gentleman to eeaee lifting his hat to a lady after she is married. Etiquette requires that whenever and wherever a gentleman meets a lady, even his awn mother, or wife, or his sisters, o? his cousins, or his aunts, he ought, as so<m as the lady has oondesoended to recog nize him, to lift his ha*. Moreover, U you meet a gentleman in the street, or other public place, with whom you are acquainted, who is aooompanied by a lady that yon do not know, yon must lift your hat to that lady out of respect to your friend, and your Wend most acknowledge the compliment by rasing his hat in return.
