Practical Etiquette.
Tlicro are ninny lioous of ctiquuttu before
Iho public , and .imony thorn several which are
written by poisons ofvi < Ie social experience
anil iiiih culture They are often excellent as
far as they jjto. but there are many deficiences
which ate painlully marked by those who de
sire lo l'otm ilu-iut-clvcs m all limits upon cor-
' rect htanclnrJs. In many of the common ox
ijrences of lilero are left by these authories ; !
absolutely without direction , and with no lig'lu
but the uninspired iruiriunce of common sense ;
and cverybodj knows how little that has to do
with etiquette.
Where , lor instance , is the manual which
Injs don n any correct and effective way ofex-
pn-bsiufr indignation uheu vulvar people at
the theatre or opera persist in continuing
a nois > private conversation during the most
interesting portions of the play ? How soon is
it well bred to pass lrom the stare tot he lrown ,
from the lrown tomoiedemonstrativeexpres
sious of nnnojiince and indignation ? V bat
book tells us how one should behave when at
the theatre or in a horse car a man weighing
half a ton steps on our corns and apologizes to
our neighbor ? .lustuhat is the proper form-
of words in which to thank a man for return
ing an umbiella. so that he ma.leel . that his
unusual honesty is appreciated , and jet not
lie insulted hi the expression of toogreat sur
prise on the part of thr fortunate neighber ?
How should a man be treated who gives one a
cigar so bad that to smoke it would e worse
than a j ear in state piisonou Iip ad and water ?
These and many similar questions present
tnctnselves daily , and one bearches in vain in
the books of etiquette for any solution lor the
perplexing doubts they raise.
And there are other questions somewhat Ies
common , uhich in. y jet arise , yet w Inch sure
I , sliKiild not be lelt miaiiMvercd in any band
it > ok uhiih makes anj pretense to be exhaus
tue. It a man is introduce' to another who
> > as eloped with his great-aunt , how t-liould he
conduct himsell ? On being presented to a
man who has killed one of one's ancestors in a
duel , how far is it etiquette to exhibit a cool-
ne.s ol demeanor ? Would it be excusable , ii
o ie chanced , at table d'hote or on shipboard ,
tosit i.osiilea lailorul dinner , to order cabbage'1
Would thu same rule wh-itevcr it is auplj to
S uicr-kraut , and would the fact that the tailor
w is a German affect the question ? If one
were to mairy a bride who had the misfortune
t > be descended fiom an ancestor who uas
h iiiged. would it be unkind or indelicate to in
c tide adiumond pendent among the wedding
gi is ? It a girl'is engaged to two mt-u at once ,
and marries one , issho to consider herself still
engaged to the other in case of the death of
her husband ? Has a book agent , or the man
who asks. "lt > tins hot enough for you ? " any
rights that are recognized bj the etiquette of
the oest buciety , and it so , what arethei ? If
Oiu one-legged man requests the loan of a
cork leg lrom another one-legged man , is l'e
-ccoud justiticd in declining to accommodate
a.in , and what is thu polite form of such a re
fusal ? Should the announcement to a lady
t tat she had dropped her btistlv be made in
tie third person ? H a gentleman making a
p irty call discovers , after boing ushered into
t it-drawing-room , that lie has inadvertently
c -me out in lus shirt sleeves , should he apolo-
go or allow the circumstance to pass with ,
out remark ?

j Iffesi's Letter.
I Pioneer Press : "While you bluwsted Ha-
• mericans are hiuveiitin' Hie escapes , why
cawn'r-sum'un hinvent some kind hof a letter
escape , iou know ? " Lord Sackville West.
Minneapolis .Tournul : Minister West's bad
break is likely to result in the retirement of
two men from public life. One spells his name
the satae way that Minister Wt-st spells his and
tho other spells his name the same way that
Mr. Cleveland spells his.
Globe Democrat : A Ficnch minister was
once recalled from this country for writing a
letter that was insulting to the Tailor admin
istration ; but the letterof Lord Sackville West
wasjnspired by leelings of exceeding respect
and friendship for the Cleveland administra
tion , and hence the precedent in the i-rencli-
raan's case does not apply to that of the Eng
lishman.
Inter Ocean : "Daniel ? " IYes sir. " "This
Sir Lionel Sackville West business all upsets
me. Dajiiel , what will our Irish subjects think
of us ? We must act promptly or there will
not be one of them by Nov ember 0. Daniel ,
telephone Bayard to ortler Mrs Victoria to re
move the remains of Sir West at once they
are offensive. "
Chicago Tribune : The worst feature in Min
ister West's letter in the eyes of democrats
will be the bluut ' aud direct manner " 'in which
he has given aw aj their game A beady some
of them are calling him "achump" and other
oppiobious namvs. It was well understood
alter thi ! rejection of the fisheries treaty be
tween Secretary Bayard and the British minis
ter that the retaliatory message of the presi
dent was to be sent to conirress for political
elleet only , and this explains why it made no
sensation in i anada. and u hv no diplomatic
attention was paid to it in England.
Reducing the Surplus.
The disposition of tho Surplus in the U.S.
Treasury engages the attention of our States
men , but a more vital question has our atten
tion , and that is the reduction of the Surplus
Consumptives. Since the discovery and intro
duction of Dr ICing's New Discovery for con
sumption , .theie has been a marked deciease
in the mortality lrom this dreaded disease , and
it is possible to still I urt her reduce the number
of consumptives How ? By keeping con
stantly at hand a bottle of Dr King's New
Discovery and using according to directions ,
upon he appearance of the first symptoms ,
such as a Cough a Colda ore Throat trChest ,
or Side Pain. Taken thus early acure is guar
anteed. Trial bottles free at A McMillen's
drug store.
