GOOD MANNERS.
A llign'y Cnltitiili-il l.xl'.riiir Dor. V
lu:.n Curl I ii t itilii'il llrai'f.
Politeness has been well ilclinnl its
"benevolence in small tliiuys," a:nl a
true laily is easily recognized by her
regard for the rights iiml feelings of
others, in trifles us well as the import'
ant affairs of life. Indeed, most people
unu it coy to He generous or nm''n;i Pi
nions upon great occasions: but to con
tinually do little nets of kindness aiiai
liclpfulness. which, as Lowell s'.iys in
his beautiful poem to his wife, "others
leave undone, and which reoiiiie coiv
stant self-forgelfulness ant! saurilice,
is not easy.
tlood milliners are either the natural
expression of a good heart, or the dis
cipline which restrains the natural
expression of one not so good
anil since human nature is far from
perfect it must be confessed that
good manners are. unlike the tra
ditional poet, ol'leuer made than
born, and that true courtesv is on
the whole the Itower of a high civiliza
tion and art rather than instinct. One
of the severest tests of ordinary vour
tesy is in conversation or argument in'
volving strong counter convictions. In
religious discussion, for instance, few
persons are Christian enough to uphold
their deeply-rooted ami cherished I
liefs in opposition to those of another
in a t'hrist.like spirit. And political
disagreements often discover persons
ol liiglily-cultivatetl exterior to be bar
barians at heart The exponent of one
party seems to believe all tho degrada
tion m the world to lie embodied in the
other, and lie finds it impossible to hate
the sin and love the sinner.
In all disagreement propositions are
easily' confounded with persons, and
the former speedily assumes inlinites
linal proportions in comparison with
the personal feud which rages be
tween the disputants. A southern
maiden, whose ardor was truer than
her spelling, wrote to her lover in the
confederate army, "Send me Lincoln's
scalp!'' And a siiuilar barbaric desire
to crush and blot out an opponent ex
tends metaphorically into almost every
argument based upon strong and anient
difference of opinion. The old school
mistress who charged "iNixpencc for
them who lamed to read aud saxpenee
for them who lamed manners," would
seem to have been little patronized in
her latter branch of instruction.
Probably people will eventually be
forced into courtesy l.y the great ad
vantages of co-operation in science, lit
erature ami art. A sort of combina
tion or "trust" will be formed in polite
ness, and opposition in opinion will be
easily compatible with underlying
unity of spirit Philadelphia Press.
KEEPING A PRIVATE NOTE BOUK.
Nut
Employes of Civil Kiiglnncrs Are
Allowed This 1'rlvilege.
"Uo was the best surveyor anil
draughtsman in my employ," said a
well-known civil eugineer of this city
a few doys ago, referring to u man
whom he had just discharged. "I dis
covered a short timo ago that lie was
keeping a private note book, and, after
notifying hlin that ho must stop it,
and agoin learning that ho was con
tinuing tho practice, I was obliged to
discharge him."
I asked tho gentleman to explaiu
what he meant by "keeping a private
note book,"
"A surveyor," wiitl he, "in doing a
pleceof work makes minutes nshegoes
along of the lines he runs, of tho vnri
ons points marking the bounds of the
lands he Is surveying, and all such
data as is not only necessary for the
drawing of his plans, but nlso incident
ally that which may aid him in tho
ease of uny other survey being inado
later on.
"This data, you see, really consti
tutes a Bortof capital or stock lu trade,
for if tho party owning the land ever
wishes another survey of it for1 nny
purpose be will naturally apply to that
samei surveyor, who, having these old
memoranda, can do the work easier
and more cheaply than nny other sur
veyor. Oftentimes, after many years
have elapsed and old landmarks liavo
passed away, those minutes become
very valuable.
"Consequently a civil engineer al
ways wishes to keep these in IiIh own
hands, and men in his employ are not
allowed to make copies of minutes of
surveys which they make while in his
employ. Otherwise, an old employe, j
in leaviug and sotting up lu business
for himself, could carry awny a large
slice of his employer's business.
"This la tho reason why I Lave dis
charged my beat employe upon finding
that he wasjvertlttlng in the practice."
ESCAPING CONTAGION.
The InsiiliiiiK Ways of I he llwnl (ierui
of Disease.
The sad ease ot Hoctor Stebbins. of
the Huston City hospital, who died re
cently from diphtheria, contracted
while pursuing his professional duties
as admitting physician to the hospital,
may have brought to the iniuils of
many the often repeated inuiry as to
the manner in which imi tity from
contagion is secured by doctors, nurses
and others, whose business brings
them so often in direct contact with
infectious diseases.
The answer must be somewhat gen
eral, as well as a repetition of what
has many times been given, but it is
not tlie lcs-. worth heeding on that account.
i lie two greatest safeguards against
infection are a strong vitality and care
fully selected hygienic surroundings.
The perfected Ii 11111:1 n organism, con
stantly aad properly nourished, and
with plenty of fresh air, is almost in
vincible against the invasion ot dis
ease. His simply a question of the
survival of the superior. Disease,
which is the weaker, is put to rout by
good health, just as darkness vanishes
at the approach of light.
The strength of disease lies in takin
11s victim oil 111s guar.i. in fact, its at
tacks nre mostly made in ambush, as it
were, insidiously and against the weak
est spot 111 the armor of its victim.
Let a person, in no matter how good
health, contract a slight cold or get
ovcr-fntigiied, and immediately his very
strength becomes a source of weakness.
The stronger and more virulent tvnes
of disease find a vantage-ground, and a
light begins w hich lasts the longer and
is the harder, :is the opposing forces
are the e cijualiy matched in
strength.
It is easy to seo that even a plivsi-
emit, overtaxed with work ami suffer
ing somewhat from a consentient ner-
lect of hygienic laws, may" dually suc
cumb to the disease amid which lie lin
gers. Vou th's Coinp.i nion.
FAST ART WORK.
A Ihitrimsl Sketch Worth On Hundred

Improvisation as an ai't is usually as

spirit moves them; and the spirit seems
to have been very vigorously ut work

so widely renowned, on a certain fes
tive evening not long ago, says the
London Telegram. There was stretched
before him, so it is credibly reported,
a sheet of pa per measuring about three
feet by four 011 an easel, and upon this
cauvashe was invited to execute a char
coal drawing in ten minutes. The sub
ject chosen by him was "The Pool'
below London bridge, with the usual
accessories of the tower looming in the
background and barges and steamers
coming up the river on the floodtide
So deftly did the artist's hand trac
the design already recorded In his
brain that the whole picture was flu
ishod within Ilia very short space of
tune already mentioned. "Aerial and
wave effects," we read, "were obtained
Dynipiu mooing wit 11 the hand or a
cloth." It might naturally be expected
thnt a drawing done under such trying
circumstances would be somewhat
"sketchy." and no doubt the details in
it were rather suggested than careful
ly tilled in; but the result was very far
indeed from being a mere smudge, and
the company of brother artists, literary
num and actors before whom the fen',
was exhibited were loud in their
praise. Their appreciation indeed was
shown in the most practical of all pos
sible, ways, for Mr, Hardy's charcoal

memories of the feeble folk of the
stone age who chipped Hints into rude
knives and arrowheads, and who lin
gered in out-of-the-way eaves, it may
be, long after the bulk of them had
been slain or driven away into the fur
north by stronger and better armed
tribes. So the stories of these terrible
monsters may not be so foolish as thev !
appear. 1 ake, for instance, the legend
of the Stoekbnrn worm. The name of
the num who slew it is preserved, and
is that of a well-known north-country
family. His tomb is pointed out in the
ruined church of Stoekbnrn, where
also he lay in elligy with the "worm"
ut his feet until, the sacred edifice fall
ing into decay, the monument was re
moved to Stoekbnrn hall adjacent,
There, too, is preserved the falchion ot
sword Willi which the monster was
slain, and which was shown to every
fresh bishop of Durham as he entered
his diocese a custom which only
ceased in the days of Van Mililret, the
hist of the prince bishops. In afield
close by the stone round which the
"worm" coiled itself is still to be seen.
This story, so circumstantial in ts de
tails, can hardly be entirely fabulous.
Now then did it rise'.' "The ichthyo

Lang, "gave Tennyson tho 'dragons ol

of the believers of Confucianism, is in
the province of Shangtung', one of the

sacred bones lie buried. The tomb,
which is located in one of the largest
cemeteries in the province, about
three miles out from the city above
mentioned, is described by the St.

posing in the w hole empire. The grave
Itself is surmounted by an earth
mound about twelve feet in height, tho
whole surrounded by a cluster of
gnarled oaks and stately cypress trees.
Ilcfore the mound is a tablet about six
feet broad ami twenty feet high, upon
which Is Inscribed the names and deeds
of the great founder of Confucianism,
a religion adhered toby over four hun
dred million human beings. The bur
den of this inscription, according to
reliable translation, is "Perfect One,"
"Absolutely Pure," "Perfect Sage,"
"First Teacher," "Ureal Philosopher,"
etc. The avenue which leads up to
the philosopher's tomb is oven more In
