Different Manners.
Manners aro often worst in tho most in
dustrious aud advuiiced parts of tho country
In tho highlands of Scotland, where indus
trious civilization is almost unknown, popular
manners aro excellent; in somo irts of the
lowlands thoy aro rudo, repellent aud un
sympathetic, Tiio best English manners are
to be found in certain rural districts, tho
wont in thriving and oncrgotlo Lancashire.
Too much cucrgy is unfavorable to tho best
behavior, which grows to perfection among
idlers, or in agricultural and pastoral com
munities, whore folks work in a leisurely
fashion and have many spare momouU on
their bauds. Manners always represent an
Ideal of somo kind. Tho English way of be
havior soomsto stand for dignity, tho French
for grace. Maunors in both countries or
more tho representation of self in outward
form than any evidence of real consideration
for tho person to whom thoy aro addressed.
Tho Englishman wishes to convoy tho idea
that ho himself boa dignity, that bo is a gen
tleman; tho Frenchman is anxious to show
that ho is a witty aud accomplished man of
tho world. Tho virtues of English
behavior aro cblofly of a negativo kind, and
those of French behavior positlvo. An Eng
lishman is pleasant because ho is not noisy,
not troublesome, not obtrusive, not contra
dictory, and because ho has tho tact to avoid
converentic'iul pitfalls aud precipices. The
Frenchman is njrecablo because ho is lively,
Is utmising, Is nmiablo, Is successful in the
battle against dullness, aud will tako trouble
to inako conversation interesting. French

llrenkliiB u Pitcher Saved Two Lives.
Tho breaking of u water pitcher saved two
young girls from death by asphyxiation nt
Earlo's hotel recently. Lena and Theresa
MaudeUtrom, aged 1M and ll) years, arrived
Friday from Europe, meaning to join their
brother in Texas, Upon going to bed at the
hotel to which thoy had bsan directed the
girls turned off tho gas, but must havo turned
it on again. Early iu tho morning tho elder
girl nwoke, fooling, as sho said, a terrible
thirst, and started out of tho room to call for
somo water. Sho fell in tho hallway, how
ever, aud broke a pitcher she held, tho noiso
attracting tho attention of several jwrsons.
Somebody discovered tho odor of gas nud
that the younger girl was lying unconscious
hi bed. Both had been seriously affechxl and
were removed to Chambers Street hospital.

"Ool darn It, neaowl" wm tha eitlatnatlon
of a wrathy rural as ho stood gaping at an
automatic chewing gum machlno with tha
familiar slot. "Them tilings, mister," turn
ing to a bystander, "aro mighty omutrtln in

for them as gits the nickels, but how about

"Slot" machines are making their appear
auco everywhere and in tho most curious
place. Hotels, stores, news stand.., ferries,
restaurants, oro supplied with nil sorts of de
vices on tho "slot" principle, nnd selling a
vnrled description of merchandise.
Most of those machines are kept In good
ordor, being regularly Inspected by tho pro
prietors who plaeo thorn. But thoy fre
quently "don't work," as hi tho caso of tho
Now Hampshire friend. It's often a gamo of
"perhaps;" If It works you get your pur
chase, If It doesn't you don't. 8' 111, there
are thousands who drop In their nickels nnd
mako no complaint, oven If .ho stot Is slovon
ly. It is said that thero'i a knack In It, and
that tho thing can bo worked to a charm if
you know how,
Tho candy slot is in high favor. Scores of
girls drop In tholr coins and glgglo as the
rospionuont vaouogo roll out. Tho next In
favor Is tho chowlng gum slot, nud largely
putronlzod by girls. Then thero is tho foun
tain eifunio slot, workod with n onny,
which gives outaweo Jet of cologne. This
unique contrlvauco doesn't always work, but
It sometimes gives a scout for a cout.
Weighing slot machines, with their clock
faces, aro said to bo irregular In tholr action,
and a customer weighing would bo puzzled
to know Just what his weight was by thoso
woudei ful machines.
A candy motto shop was working admira
bly tho other day as two young jieoplo stood
spooning in front of it, dropping tholr nlckoU
nnd laughing over tho nrouhooles nnd sentl-

Tho latest automutlo novelty, which has
become quite a craze iu England, is tho box
placed convenient in churches nud chniel
for the pur)08o of providing folks with hymn
books. Tho box is n small wooden nffair with
n slide lid. Ou tho lid there Is this iuscrip
tlont Put ono peony In tho'iiox nnd bli- :
! tain tho use of a hymn book. :
It Is quite n sclontiflo arrangomeut nnd
works easily. When tho penny is placed in
tho box It acta ou uspriug which throws open
tho slldo lid, disclosing tho hymn book. Tho
penny drops down a Bocrot slit iu tho lid aud
is hidden from view and secured from re
moval. It seems almost llko a reflection on
Uio worshljwrs, for tho automatic beauty of
tho workmanship is that tho door or lid can
not bo shut until tho verger himself takes tho
coin out, when tho hymn book is replaced
aud tho door Is fastouod. There U also an in
dicator Inside tho box which shows how many
coins havo been put in, so that oven the vorgor

Girls Kept In Cages.
United Status Consul Qrlflin, stationed at
Sydney, N. S. W., tells of n remarkable custom
of tho inhabitants of Now Britain as follows:
"Tho inhabitants, it is said by Wallace, bavo
a iwcullar custom of conilnlug their girls in
cages until thoy aro old enough to x mar
ried. This custom is said to bo peculiar to
tho pooplo of Now Britain. Tho cugos aro
mado of twigs of tho ulm tree, and tho girls
aro put into them when 2 or 3 year of ago.
Tho Rev. Qeorgo Brown established a Wes
loyau mission In Now Britain in 1870, aud I
learn from hlui that theeo cages aro built in
sido of tho houses and that the girls aro never
allowed to leave tho houso under any circum
stances. Tho houses aro closely foucod in with
a sort of wicker work made of reeds. Ven
tilation under tho circumstances Is rendered
dlfllcult. Tho girls aro said to grow up
strong and healthful lu splto of thoso disad
vantages." Chicago Tribune.
ra)iK His Itoud Tax.
About twenty years ago a Buckflold man,
noted for his shrewdness, was attacked by
tho smallpox. Conceiving tho idea, as he
was convalescing, that it would bo a good
tlmo to dispose of his road tax, he took his
staff iu ono hand and, shouldering his hoo,
started for tho scouo of operations. Llko the
prodigal, ho was seen "afar off." Tho mon
began to throw up tholr hoods and sniff trou
ble. Tho surveyor sang out, "I swow, Jaso,
thoy aro afraid of ye." "Can't help It," says
Jofton, "I havo got to work out my tax."
"Say, Jaso, if you'll go back I'll cross out
your tax." "All right," says Jason. And,
if wo can tako tho word of Tho Oxford Dem
ocrat for it, tho tax was "crossed out."

Jeweler's skill Is brought to bear In designing
the daintiest gold nud sliver rooeptueles In
which to carry It, Dentists hnvo repudiated
to n certain extent tho Idea that sweets
aro hurtful lo the teeth, and physicians have
announced that imruawvoM nro wholesome
aud often needful to the system. Mnnufao-turei-H
have elevated their industry Into an
nrt, nud cater to the delicate, fastidious tasto
of tho epicure lu candlen, nud If a statue
should bo erected of tho typical American
girl tho graceful, charming, proud faced
American homily distend of the distaff of
our grandmother there would lw curried lu
her baud u box of bonbons or chocolate. If
n girl or woman gotM shopping sho Is almost
sure to Include among hor piirchio u box
of caramels, and though sho will order every
thing elm mail to Inn' residence, oven though
It bo no more burdeusomo than n skhiI of silk
or a package of hairpins, sho will carry tho
caramels in nor own nanus, a roairy swell
girl would us noon think of going to the play
without her gloves iu without her bonbon
iilcro, nud the really elegant young man
knows that It Is tho correct and proor caper
to take his charmer candy Instead of llowera
for tho theatre. Many persons buy candy for
Sunday ou Saturday night as regularly as
they market for tholr Sunday dinner, nud
ladle take candy to their children lu much
tho same spirit as men tako tliolr littlo boys
to the circus.
A box of candy Is ouu of tho most delight
ful of glfto. It menus much or nothing, as
you will. It cannot bo accepted ns significant
of undying affection, nud is not so sciitimout
til a souvenir ns flowers, yet It delights tho
heart of the sweet girl overy time. One sw
elal advautago Is that It Is sure lo bo de
voured, uml cannot lie saved to show to the
other fellow after sho Is married,
Thero aro foMilou In candle, as iu Ixmnots,
and tho first thing a girl does after sho re
ceives u supply from an admirer Is to gauge
his affection by the namo of the manufactu
rer of her sneetii, and a box of biitturcti
from tho fashionable place Is dearer to her
than tho richest bonbons nnd nougat, or oven
candled violets or crystallized row leaves,
from a store on the wroui avenue. Fashions
change, too, iu tho kinds of candy viton, of
which the griuluul doclluo lu tho consump
tion of caramels Ls an Instance. A few yean
ago n girl carried boxen of cnraineU to school
nnd ou tho cars, to church and to Iks), If sho
wero going to llo nwuko and talk with hor
boat friend nwhllo before sho went to sleep.
Now you rarely hoar an order for a box of
caramels, and this is not liecauso caramels uro
not being mado as toothsome, but becauso to
tho palate of tho girl consumer thoy hnvo
lost tholr savor, lu England ooplo are Just
finding out how delicious thoy aro, and Mr.
Muiioy is making lu ono of his many factories
lu Loudon 00 pounds of them a day, and
keeps scores of children constantly employed
lu wrapping them up in tho littlo squares of
paicr hi which thoy nro Bold. Caramels aro
said to bo strictly nu American specialty, and
tholr iopularity lu England Is largely duo
to tho ubiquitous automatic box, through
whoso agency 'J.1,000 gross ackagos of cara
mels wero twlil hint year.
Tho kind of confectionery that has tho larg
est salo at prurient In America is chocolate in
its various forms, for, lu addition to its being
so general n favorite with ladlos, It Is mado
with littlo or uo bugar, nud forms a harmless
and wholesome candy for children.
Bonbons rank next iu popularity, Judging
from their Immeiiso sale, and then tho lino
candles that can bo carried iu bonbonnleres
with nougat aud buttcrciiH have largest
sales. Candled flowoi-H are beautiful to look
at and oMhotla to consume, but thoy uro very
oxpotuilvc, and uot really enjoyed by many
pooplo.
About ten or twelve years ago a littlo candy
store was opoiied ou n west side avouuo,
whoro ono man nud u boy mado tho candy iu
tho back of the store that was bold ovor tho
couutor lu tho other end of the establishment.
Ono of tho proprietors conceived tho Idea of
pulling candy in tho window, according to
a practice that is very (wpular now, but
hod not then been cetublbhed. Tho mull who
mado tho candy refused to work iu tho win
dow; accordingly, tho inventive proprietor,
Mr. Huylur, took olf his coat und did It him
self for n month. Now tho bamo firm, with
tho addition of ouu more stockholder, hnvo
ilfteeu stores in different cities aud summer
resorts, employ between 400 aud 500 men and
women in tho manufacture only of tho candy

candy a your. Now York Sun.
A Ciuo of I'cMir Memory.
Odd stories about tho eccentricities of tho
luto Mrs. S. C. Hall's memory uro now being
told. Ono diverting anecdote relates that,
traveling with her husband from Llverjool to
London, about IcOO, ho bought somo light lit
erature for her to read ou tho train. Ono of
tho serials she pcruhod with very closo at
tention, und finally handed it over to Mr
Hall with tho remark, "Read that; it Ua
capital Irish story," Sho was struck with
surpriro when told that it was hor own. On
another occasion, after reading tho beginning
of thu "Whitcboy" which Is mentioned as
tho only tolernblo novel sho ever wroto she
was quite puzzled to think how tho author
would got tho hero out or tho complication.
As it was a feat of tiers to write a long Irish
sketch between dawn and dusk of a summer
day, such laM of memory aro uot to bo
wondered nt, and ttio obscurity Into which
her books havo fallen is equally comprehen
sible. Pittsburg Bulletin.
