Somn salutations by reason of thei grotesque exaggeration a o calculate to impress one with the liveliest fe -1 ings of wonder and amusement. The norroos, whose act ons are for tho mo-. part of a burlcsqtio descript on, natu rally aftect the fare cal in their inter changes of ceremonies. Their saluta tion consists ot the most lud erous con tortions, coupled with the absurd tisagd of puli ng the fingers till tho joints crack, and when two ebony nionaichs visit, they embraco in snapping the third linger th eo times. Soma nations seem to consider that they evince the most delicate attention and respect in their greetings by a removal of some part of their wearing apparel, or by temporarily appropriating some por tion of the dress of the onos greeted, Tho Ethiop an will take the robe of an other and fold it about his own waist, leaving h s frient but scant. lv clad while the Japanu.-e removes h s slipper when he meets a super or, exclaim 112; "Hurt mo not!" and the people of Ar racan their sandals in the street and their stockings in tho houso. Tho Phil ippine Islanders take povsosioti of the hand or foot of tho person tho: saluto and gently rest it against thoir own faces while this coromony among the Laplanders takes tho form of applying thoir noses with some force airainst the saluted one's and treat ng him to t species of batterinff ram erectins. Ac cording to Dampier, the people of New Guinea have a more pol to and picturesiuo wav of exchanging this kind of civility, which they do by plaa imr on their heads the leaves of trees, tu being, it may bo assume I, symbol ical of peace and good fellowsh p. Other salutations aro of so complex a nature that this form of politeness is most de cidedly irksome and can only bo ac quired afterthe most assiduous practice, Speaking of tho customs of the inhabit ants of au island In the Mrait? 01 tno Sound, a French tiiveler tells us that thoy raised his left foot, wh ch thoy passod over the right leg and from tlienco over his face." He, however. omits to enlighten us whether ho had received previous instruct on and training before taking part in this s n- irular proceeding; but tho effect on a middlo aged gentleman of aldornianio proportions in performing such an aerohatio salutation oil-hand would not. one would imauino, bo unat tended w.th awkward results. Although not so dillicult of accomplishment, tlio in habitants of tlio Philippines' are lovers of a somewhat complex nttitmlo in their salutations, which consist in ending tho body as close as possible to tho caith, placing the palms of the hands on the cheeks and then slowly rais.ng one foot in tha air, with tho knees bent. Tho ( hineso demonstrate their na tional vanity and amotion in tlieir per sonal civilities, and the name of tlieir nrtiliciai eercmonios is letd n. Thev aro not content with their rreverVnco" and thoir singular postures, but add quantity to kind, tho number of their salutations being calculated to a nicety, andvannig in accordance with tho ank and mportanoo of tho person they would honor. If two persons aro brought together alter a lengthy koii arat on ;t is their custom to sink down nn their kneos, nnd bend tho face to tho earth, this ceremony being repeat ed two or thn e times. Should you meet a 1 hineso and venture a How d'vou do." ho wll in all prohabi'itv reply verbosely in such a si ra n as " cry well, thanks to your ainindint f lieitv.' or, ir lie Should take the initiative, von will bo over whelms 1 with some such greeting' as "Prosperity is painted on your faco," or "lour air announces your happi ness." But, porbaps tlio urost curious of all these is the custom of salu tation alter sneezing, relevant to which an amusing account is given of tho effect which attends the sneo.ing of tho King of Monomotapo, It is said that "those who are near his person when this takes placo saluto him in so loud a tono that per sons in the antc-ehambor hear it and join in tho acclamation, in the atl jo'ning apartments thoy do tho same 1 11 tho noiso reaches the street and be comes propagated throughout tho city, so that, at each snce.e of his Ma estv results a horrid cry from tho salutations of many thousands of his vassals." Hut, perhaps, tho climax of absurdity is reached when tho King of Sennaar indulges in this luxury, for the wholo of tho courtiers turn their backs on him, and loudly smack their right thigh. The Turks cross their hands, place them on thoir hearts, and bow. ex claiming: "l'o under the care of God!"' "Forget me not in pray ers!" "Thy visits are as rare as hue days!" an anciont greeting, as it is by no means applicable to their present country. The Komans in ancient times, exclaimed: 'What doest thou?" "ISo healthy!" or 'Be strong!" when it was customary to takt up children by the cars and kiss them. Italians, on mcehng, kiss tho hands of ladies to whom they aro related, w.th the strange inquiry. "How does she stand?" Manillas bend their bodies, place their hands upon ther cheeks, raiso one leg and bend the knee. Persians salute by inclining neck over neck, and then cheek to cheek. w;th tho extravagrant greeting "Is thy exalted h:gh condition good?" "May "thy shadow never be less!" and "Peace bo upon theo!" In Poland the inhabitants bow to the ground with the s gnilieant inquiry: "Art thou gay?" and "How do you l.vo on?" "Be well!" and a common exclaniat'ftn which means literally "God be with you!" has" degenerated of lato Years into th( oppodto "Devil take you!" Tha Hol landers, with the r proverbial love ol good living, salute their friends by ask ing: "How do you fare?" "Have voc had a good dinner?" Laplanders whet they meet on the ice press their nosesj firmly together. Bongalese call thcro- selves the ."most liumblo slaves" o; those they deure to salute. Bohem'ans kiss tho garments of the person thev wish to honop. Siamese prostrate themselves before superiors, when a servant examinas whether thev have boon eat;ng anvthing otl'ensive. If so tliev are k eked out, if not, their are picked up. Ceyloneso. on meeti ig su per ors prostrato themselves, repeating thn nanio and dignity of tho individual. Tho Moors, of Morocco, ride at full speed toward a stranger, suddenly stop anil then fire a pistol over li s head. Mohammedans sav: "Peaco bo w th you!" to w hich tho reply is: On you be peace!" to which is added: "And the mercy and blessings of God." Tho Swedes on meeting o le another s mply inqu ro: "How can iou?" The Burmese apply tho r nosos and cheeks closely to a person's face and then exclaim: "Give mo a smell!" attributable to tlieir great use of per fumes: and the French say: "Comment vous portez vous?" wh ch literally sig n lies "How do you carry yourself?" There aro manv causes which in fluence these diversified salutat'ona among the various nations of the earth. some resu t.ng, apparently, from the national temper or disposition 01 people, "wh le others aro doubtless tho outcome of superstition. Many are rc markable for their simplicity, while others d splay considerable complex ty ani are highly grotesque in lorm. ltut, get uaily speakmg, tho lurtner a n& tion degrades from the simplicity of its infancy the more ornate become its ceremonies of politeness, there mus exist tho outward form and actions for these different cu.stims, and it is but natural for each nation to imagine that it employs the nio-t reasonable.

So that such a canon on social obscrva ice. alike sanctioned by tho individual and the community in which he lives, can not fail in its beneficial results since it is destructive of confusion and productive of that something in our daily intercourse which, for want of a bettor name, may be described by tho phrase "good form. "Brooklyn Laqle. ACAPULCO. How the Marketing of Our Mexican Neigh- hur Is Cnndurted AH int. Perhaps the most interesting feature of Acnpulco is the lite of th) pcoplo who subsist by the small trallic wh ch they carry on with the few steamers that touch there. One mulatto woman there is who weighsat lcat400 pounds. and who for twenty years has paddled out or boon paddled out to the anchor age ground as often as a vessel is sight 2d from tho promontory adjoining tho town. Slio alwavs meets the Pac'lio Mail steamships with two bumboats. loaded w th her own person, beside some fruits. egg, trinkets and curiosi ties.

Fondness of the Parisians for OamlillnR- Tha Devices ot Unscrupulous Dealers. If we may iudgo by tho pages of des Terrleres the Parisians ;are restless and hardened gamblers and ready to play anything anywhere with anybody, Tbero are three places where they may play chiefly in the real clubs, in tho clubs which are open to almost any ono and which, in fact, exist only that gambling may bo carried on, and in the illegal gaming houses. Of real clubs there are not many in Paris and access is not easy; but there is no end of gamb ling clubs dignified by somo glittering and loud-sounding title. Strangely h there is a greater danger of boini? cheated in the former than in the latter, for in the gambling clubs there aro always a lot of cheats watching each other and well watched bv tho nropriotor. who is up to all their little games, whilo in the real clubs, although it would be dillicult for an adventurer to gain admittance, there is no suspicion, and once in, a rascal might cheat with impunity if he were cautions and not over-grasping. At ecarte or piquet, where ho has but ono opponent to deceive, the Greek ought to be ablo to win what he likes; but at baccarat, whore he plavs against tho wholo table, the simplo devices of tet a-teto deceit must be abandoned. M. des Perrieres reveals tho secrets of tho players Yvho cheat the dealer and of the dealer who cheats the players. By col lusion with a card-room attendant, the dealer may distribute cards carefully arranged in what the conjuror would call a chaplet. With a chaplet the dealer reduces the chances against him to those expressed in tho old formula, "Heads I win, tails you lose." A thorough shuttle is a sure cure for the chaplet; and of course cutting has no effect. There are various chaplets known to the initi ated. M. des Perrieres tells us of a player who was losing steadily to the dealer and who suddenly recognized the se quence of the cards as they fell on tho table. "Why, that is the Marseilles chaplet," he cried; "the next card will be the king of hearts." And the dealer turned it up and it was the king of hearts, and then the player proceeded to declare every card before it was turned, to the great amusement of the players, who ceased betting at once. The feelings of the dealer are not de scribed; probably language could not ao inciii justice. Another device wh'ch an unscrupu lous dealer may employ is a survival from the last century; at least it is closely akin to a trick of that time, in which a snuff-box took tbe place of a cigarette case. It is of a great simplio ity. The dealer provides himself Co forehand to use the pleasant phrase ology of tho old-fashioned hand books of conjuring with a highly pol ished silver cigarette cose. I his he places on the table before him and immediate ly under his left hand as he distributes the cards. If he has some slight man ual dexterity, a (iirck eye and unfailing self-possession, the rellecting surface ot the silver will keep him fully informed as to tho value of every card before it .leaves his bands, and he may act ao cordingly. Self-possession, and indeed self-confidence, are necessary requisites of a successful gambler, even when he is not given to a ding chance. Fortune favors the brave, and gambling is like swimming in that the first touch of fear is fatal. Especially must tlio dealer at baccarat abound in courage; lot Inn but begin to show the white feather and his banking funds will speedily take wings and lly away to feather the nest of some player of more stomach. London Saturday Review. RUSSIAN OFFICERS. How the Youth of the Empire are p ired for Army Serviee. Pre- The aristoerat'o vouth of Russia com mence their military career in gymnasia (schools), whero tliey receive a libera! education at the age of ton. Religion, languages, history, mathematics, etc., form part of the courso, which lusts for seven years; but drill, fencing, gymnas tics, and swimming are subjects to which oons;derable prominence is given, and each school has a uniform in which the scholars invariably appear. At the end of the course they are medically in spected, and only those who are phys ically lit are permitted to be examined for cadotships; those who are rejected may be appointed to different offices under Government. The corps (V elite aro held out as inducements to those who pass the highost standard of ex amination. There are eighteen or twenty of these at present in the differ ent portions of the empire. They feed the eight cadet schools which provide tho higher class of officers. Of these tho imperial corps of pages is the most aristocratic, and supplies most of the officers for the guard. The remainder are at St. Petersburg, with tho exception of the Alexander school at Moscow, and the Finland cadet corps atllelsinfors, the latter being exclusively for natives of the duchy of Finland. Tho Machael artillery and Nicholas en gineer cadet schools furnish, as their titles imply, tho higher class of artillery and engineer officers. Tho progynina- sia, ' of which there are eight, receive bovs of anv class, ten years of ge, a small percentage of whom join the army direct as non-commissioned olli- cers; the remainder supply the Junker schools, after a seven years' course. The Junker schools provide the body of offi cers. 1 ue course lasts for two years, and onf those cadets who obtain a cer tain figure of merit are appointed to commissions. The cadets, in addition to theoretical instruction, have a most practical course of study in sketching and outpost duty; they also go into camp for four months in the year, and take part in til drills and exercises. Batter es, squadrons, and battalions are formed, all manned by cadets. These schools are in the different military dis tricts and under the staff of those dis tricts, and the instructors are taken from the best officers in the .district Contemporary Iievicw.
