The object of leaving cards is to sig nify that a call litis been made, due uvillty shown, aud a like civility ex pected In return. The routine of card leaving m:iy tlitu bo .briefly explained: Ono lady calls upon another, and, on finding her "not at homo," loaves a card, saying:' " For Lady Joues." If tho lady calling in married, she also leaves two ol her husband's cards with her own. Sho loaves two of his cards because one is hit ended for Ladv Jono and one for Sir John Jones. If Lady Jonc has grown-up daughters, tho lady calling turns down a corner of her visiting-card to include them Iu the call made to tho r mother; but if n mar ried daughter wero on a visit to her mother a separata card would ba left for her, and also for any other visitor ol Lady Jones' with whom tho lady calling is noiiuainted. If a mother ha grown-up daughters, the r name nra printed on her card, ".Mi-is Smith, Miss Ethel Smith," and whether with her or not when calling; the card is still left with their names upon it Young Indies aro not supposed to have cards of their own during tho lifetime of their mothers, and if while still young they lose their mothers their names appear on tho cards of the ladios who take them out, whether it bo an aunt, a married sister, or a sister-in-law, or oven a grandmother. If they permanently reside with one of then relatives, tiieir namos would be printed on tlit? cards; if only temporary, merely pi neiled. When young ladies livj with their fathers, who aro widowers, and who chaperon t hem, their joint names arc printed on a lady's visiting card. Until a joting lady has at'ained what is termed a certain ago. It argues no little independence of action to have a. card of her own, but when sho no longer re quires chaperoning tho is entitled t a card of her own, being clearly her own mistress, and able to chooso her own acquaintances. It should be understood that when a lady is at homo to tlio lady calling upon l.cr, she must not on any aecimnt leave her card on taking her departure, as tho faet of hav ing seen her friend does away with the reason of leaving a enrd, viz.: to intimate that slm has called; but she leaves two of her husband's cards on tho hnll lable, presuming that lie, her husband, is not with her. Even if she had seen the master of the house, she still leaves the cards as a mark of civility on the part of her absent hus band. She does not leave more than two, whether tho mastor of the housj is at home or not Peoplo who do not understand the meaning of card-leaving aro frantically anxious to send visiting-cards by pos! to their acquaintances In lieu of calling upon them. Only tho greatest Ignor ance of tho usages of good society can excuse such an .dea. If distance is too great to keep up a calling acquaintance there is no civility iu sending names and addresses on visiting cards by post; they convey nothing and they mean nothing, unless left in person, and it is dillicult to imagino how tho notiou of sending visiting-cards by post could euter the heads of any ono pretending to be in society. Cards of inquiry are another stumbling-block to tho uninitiated.- Tlio-e they are also anxious to sond by post, which would entirely do away with the politeness intended; they must bo left iu person, as a mutter of course, aud the words "To , inquire after Mrs. Drown" should bo written on the top of the card. When a card of inquiry is left bv a la Iv she does not leave her hu-band's curds on that occasion, a call no; being iuleuded, but simply nn inquiry after health, toeviuco sympathy and interest. The same applies to cards of "Return thanks for Kind in quiries." These words are also writ ten on the top of the cards, and the cards are left by a member of the fami ly, when not by the invalid herself, when the Invalid is the husband or son, it Is still tho wife or mother who returns thanks for kind inquiries. As regards V. V. C. cards, tho same rule holds good; they can not bo sent by !ost. thev n ust bo left in person. Tne letters 1 P. C. 8 gn'fy pour prendre conge, and are left on the eve of a de parture for any length of time. Visiting cards are left when a lady is not at home, when time dors not admit of making a call, when tho acquaint ance is too slight to warrant making a 'call, when it is not desired that tho ac quaintanceship should develop iulo a calling acquaintanceship, when asked by a mutual friend to t ail on o stranger, when au invitation is sent by a strangor through a mutual friend, when leaving a letter of introduction on a stranger, and after entertaiunioiits. Cards can only be sent in when pure ly busino-H calls are made, and between people unnciimiintcd with each other. Cards should never bo sent in when so cial calls are made. It is quite sulli cient for a lady to give her nuiuo to the servant Wedding-cards and memorial-cards havo long been out of date, and are hardly worth alluding to in this place; still, they have existed, which is a rea son for referring to them at all. A lady's visiting-card Is printed in small, clear copper-plate type, and free from aiiv kind of embellishment It is thin and" unglazcd, the size three and a half inches in width, and two and a half inches in depth. Tho name is printed iu the center of the card auu the address in the left-hand corner. A gentleman's card is also thin and ungla.ed, the size three inches in width, and ono and a half Inches in depth. The usual hours for leaving cards are from three to live, although they are emended from half-past two until six o clock, time and distance fcivng taken into account Cards are not left in J lie morning, as a general rule, save under exceptional circumstances, such as cards of inuuirv. etc. Lnausit I a:'.

Tho question is often asked whether pneumonia occurs more frequently than formerly, and whether it has in any respects the character of a rymotio dis- asc? - Sudden death from it, like that of Dr. Draper gome time since, aud that of Dr. Damroseh recently, call special attention to it; and all tho moro be cause it occupies so large a placo In tho weekly winter and spring tables. o think that tables of statistics and tho experience of physicians go to show that the disease Is more prevalent than formerly. Tho faet that it often attacks tho more robust of tho population at the middle periods of life, make its investi gation still more imKrtant Dr. Vivian Pooro, in a recent lecture at tho Inter national Health Exhibition, London, gives the following list of diseases re sulting from tho wrong use of refuse, and so dependent on foul water or foul air: sore throat, typhoid fever, cholera, diarrhea, diphtheria, scarlet fever, acute pneumonia. In tho Medical Uazctte, New York, February 1880, Professor learning, of St. Luke's Hospital, pub lished a valuable paper on "Eiidemio rieuro-l'neumonia. In it ho says "hn- demio plenro-piiciinionia In New York during tlio last ten or twelve years, has had distinct and peculiar factors." For many years a form of fatal pleuro pneumonia has prevailed in the cities of tho Southern Slates, while in the North tli cro was another form of this disease, of mild typo and easy management. At tho same ttmo there was a gradual procession of the fatal form northward, overrun ning Washington, Raltimore and Phila delphia, until, about 1808, it reached Mew lork. Matisties aro given irom 18jG to 1873 which seom to prove tlio statement In tho study of mycology thero has also been found a microbe, or vegetative organism, which is believed to 1)0 special to pneumonia, although, like many others, it lacks the continua tion of culture aud an inoculated pneu monia therefrom. As tho pleura is almost a'wavs involved in the inllam- mution, the double namo is moro de scriptive. Tho fact that there is such a lutiv lesion as plouro-pneuiuoniit in cattle, which has a distinctly r.ymotio character, favors tlie view that tho disease we call pneumonia may have a specilio character. Tho term typhoid pneumonia has been used to describe that form which is most sudden, and which, with prostrating symptoms al most from the start, hurries on to a fatal termination, The agency of foul oir in causing pneumonia is no longer doubted. When an audionce rushes out from an ill-ventilated and crowded assembly room into tho open air, it is not simply that there is a sudden change of tem perature. Tho circulatory system of the lungs and tho vaso-motor nervo supply of iU tens of thousands of mitiuto ves sels h) seriously affected and depressed by. such foul air. The unembarrassed lung rapidly adjusts itself to changes of temperature, if not too intense. But if, by bad air, wo paralyze tho power of adjustment, tho impression is profound, or, if there is reaction, it is in the direction of congestion. We need, therefore, to emphasize tho fact that acuta lung diseases are not less depend ent upon tho depressing influences of befouled air than upon thermometrical and barometrical 'changes. Nor is all of this foul air found within houses. Travel a few blocks in tho lower part of New York City UKn tho sidewalks of narrow streets, with an elevated rail road above, where bright sunshine never gets, and seo if you do not feel more than a chilliness, or a depressed condi tion of feeling, especially if it bo one of those days a Tittle wann, iu which tho atmosphere approaches to saturation. Tho befouled air depresses tho lungs, enfeebles their powers of adjustment and many a case of pneumonia is started in this way. Whilo wo aro not positive that pneumonia is directly a zymotic disease, wo are very sure that foul air in houses, in assembly rooms, in theaters, churches and school-houses and streets has much to do therewith. Children in schools are not quite as susceptiblo as are adults of middlo life to such in fluences as cause pneumonia. It Is very desirable that tlio public generally be apprised of these risks. It will, of course, first of all lead to great care as to tho condition of tho skin, which, it is to bo remembered, is a covering a litllo moro important even than flannel. Tho skin is tlio great cmunctory for tho lunss. As the word means, it sneezes in their stead: not audibly, it Is true. but, nevertheless, most elVectually acts as the regulator and reliever, if only it Is in crood condition as to its cleanli ness, its circulation, its oil, etc. Luke warm baths, where cold can not bo borne, and cood rubbing, not for clean liness, but for putting this garment in eood condition, aro exceedingly im portant. There is as much diliercnco in tlio quality of skins as of clothing, and much of tho dillureneo is owing to unier enceof treatment Next in importance to this is it to have comfortablo woolen or mixed cotton and wool underclothing. For those especially susceptible a thin silk shirt, under the flannel, Is valuable Keeping the mouth shut and breathing through the nose, is anoiner precau tion. Many a tired man takes a fatal cold Just because ho goc3 from tlio foul air of a room into the open air, without food and in a depressed condition, and in conversation allows the cold air to strike upon tho enfeebled lung tissue, In no disease is it moro important to attend to first symptoms. A chill is never to be nc:rlo!ted. Hot drinks, a warm bath, a good bod and a ten-grain Dover's powder, within tho lirst three hours, would havo saved many a man who lias waited until morning, and then the doctor is too late. It Is ono of those cases in which tlio great teac h ings of the preventive art eomo Into ap plication at the beginning oi symptoms, or else future medication will not avail. A'. Y. Independent.
