Servants of an KiiRlish llouseliolil.
At faur.ly prayers the servants come in in
re "Ular oruer accoi-iiiug uj uneu fuaiuu,
b'jusekeeper and ladies' maids first the men
(in their order) following the maids. The
servants' dinners, too, aro conducted witn
much ceremony. Tho under servants wait
on the upper ones, etc. Indeed, the servants
are great sticklers for and observers ot rules
of precedence, and conservers of social dig
nity and etiquette among themselves. Ana
thev expect, and require, nay demand it. to
an intensified degree among their masters and
mistresses. A gentleman or lady who neglected
to observe or follow any of the trivial niceties
or ceremonies of high life would lose caste at
once in the eyes of their servants, and forfeit,
with their respect, all influence with them.

chambers or the butler, if any gentleman ap
peared at a homo dinner except in full even

consider themselves degraded in the house,
but scandalized throughout the neighbor
hood, through which the tidings would soon
spread. The only excuse to be made lor a
-entleman so wanting in dignity as to dine

centric, and no one cares to lie thought that.

An Invitation to an KiiBllKliiuan'it lloum".
What It Implien Th A merican't Way
of IoiiiK Things i:mbarraiu.ineut of tlio
Host A Utile.
There are thousands of countiy yet in one
way city like homes in tho suburbs of our
largo cities today where twenty years ago
they might have been numlx-red by tens. Nor
is this only the natural elieot from the causo
of an ever increasing imputation. Wo aro
realizing that we wuut more pleasant daily
living; that such sweet, simple home life as
that of England is imssiblo to a certain ex
tent even amidst the rush and push and crush
of American business. We aro tired of see
ing each face which iasses us in tho crowded
streets more keen, more anxious, moro sharp,
more unrestful than tho last. And wo aro
seeing tho possibility of much comfort and
enjoyment without untold riches; wo aro re
alizing more nnd moro that immense u r
tunes are not the only end of man, and so aro
taking time to find out what can lie mado
pleasant on a comfortable income, and wo
gather our friends about us to lie happy to
gether. Tor certain it is that tho pleasure of
entertaining is one of tho greatest in life.
It is admitted, of course, that for any stan
dard or degree of living it takes an iiieomo
from four to five times as large in the United
States us in England, but our country is too
largo, too young to have developed alt its re
sources as they have done to each littlo inch
of spaco there; and wo must wait many years
for this thing to balance itself. Meantime wo
ire philosophical enough to "kiss each joy as
It flies."
ON BEIN-O INVITED.
Tho first thing one realizes on lxing invited
to an Englishman's house is that one is invited
to come at a certain time and stay until a
certain time. There is no indefinite invita
tion: "Come and make us a viit whenever
you can," leaving ono with a half certainty
that ono would bo welcome, nnd a very de
cided uncertainty, should ono go whenever
ono could, as to whether one's vi.iit would not
ho verv ill timed. No; ono starts with a defi
nite fact, and consequently with something to
lev hold of and be at ease auoui-a hnom-
edgc that one is wanted at such a timo and
for so long.
An Englishman, hastily and correctly,
from habit, reviews his engagements, both of
a business and social iiu;re, and replies at
once, thus in his turn giving his host that
certain ease of knowing, "l snail w; uqniy
to come to you on the day you stace, and can
arrange to remain until the ." tie men
states the train ho will take, or, perhaps, his
host has suggested n tram; or, if it is too far
ahead to state positively, he adds: I will
inform you by post or telegram a day or two
before of the hour of my arrival." Tho host
then is ready, his plans are formed, the guest
is sure of his welcome, and the v isitor starts oif
with a pleasant ease. If he cannot go he de
clines as promptly and as definitely. But
when an American receives such an invita
tion, what is his course Very apt is ho to
think: "That's pleasure. I'm too busy to
write today. Anyway, I must have a few
days to think it over," and the invitation is
mushed aside for a more convenient season.
Meantime the hosts aro uncomiortaoie ana
wondering "why So and so does not write
if So and so received our letter "if we
only knew that So and so could not come we
wouM invite some one else."

A Brutal and Disgusting Sport.
We read a ereat deal of expansive twaddle
about the excitement of the stag hunting on
Exmoor, but there seems to be much that is
ltoether brutal, barbarous and disgusting
about this sport. There Is something most
horrible in the practice of seizing the deer at
the end of the run and publicly cutting its
throat How a mob of educated men and
women can look complacently on at such
horrid butchery it is difficult to understand.
An account of a recent run gives a harrow
in" ricturo of a terrified stag finding itself
"do.nl beat" at the end of a long and agoniz
ing chase. It was hemmed in on every side
l.v its Dursaers. so, after "looking wildly
round," it could only dash down the cliff and
1.111110-0 into the sea, where it was drcwried in
;-M, of the excited field, as it was too ex
hausted to battle with tho waves. At the be-
gianhij of another run two stags were hunt
ed out Tf the glade in which they had con
cealed themselves, and one was so bustled
n! mnt that iU back --vas broken. London
Truth.
Herd of Buffalo.
TTpre's news for those sportsmen who are
anxious to get a shot at u buffalo before they
r,r.r-.ir from the continent. The Cheyenne
JV.-..W savs that a herd of 200 has been found
in the Dig Horn mountains. Pity the whole
herd couldn't bo saved and prctected by the
government,
social
who
"Could not reply to your letter at once, and
even now am not certain if we can accept it:
will let you know in a few days," or worse
still: "Don't believe wo can arrange to come
to von on the loth. How would tec li.iih su.
vou ;"' Fancy the embarrassment of tha l.or.t,
who Las asked come one else for that date!
Or again, and to our shame bo it said, this is
often donei "Cannot come when you say,
but think can arrange it later. U ill let you
laiow."
Oh. the thoughtless assurance ot sucn a
reply passeth belief, but the people who make
it are often, in other things, tho most unas
suming persons. Of course it is only due to
thoughtlessness and the habit of the land to
regard social duties as secondary and unim
portant. Many an American hostess has had
her lunch table stand half the afternoon end
her dinner wait an hour for the arrival of a
Tiest who agreed to come but forgot to state
tho hour. After all, in life it is the little
thincr which constantly rub against the
train, and the hosts who are put out and in
