SOCIAL , ETIQUETTE .Manners and Customs Practiced In I'ollte Society, A gentleman always lifts his hat when of fering a service to a lady, whether he is ac quainted Willi her or not. It mny be, says one authority on tho social etiquette of Now York, the restoration of a dropjied kerchief it fan, tho receiving of her money to pass it to tho cash box of a car, tho ojieiiing of her umbrella as she, d(;c"iiils from a carriage all tho same. He lifts it before or during the courtesy if jiossiblo. She bows, and, if she chooses, she al smiles her acknowledg ment; but the does tho latter faintly and docs not STH-ak. To say "Thank you" is uot an excess of acknowledgment, but it has ceased to be etiquette. tVhen a gentleman accompanies a lady iqioii whom such an uttcntion is bestowed, ho always lifts his bat and says "Thank you." If it is in tho giving up of a seat to tho lady, he will not sent himself whilo tho obliging stranger f; still standing, but will cp.ll his at tention to tho Ci-Jt vacant place bhou'.d he be unobservant of it. A gentleman opens a door for a strange lady, holdj it open with ono band and lifts his hat with tho other while she passes through in advance of him. lie nlwr.ys offers her the precedence, but ho does it silently and without resting his gano upoa her, as if be would say: "You aro a lady and I am a gen tlemanI am polite for both our sakes."

Ills ancestors were among the early settlers of Km kinnham county, Va., whither they had goae truin Rerks county, Ta., and from which his gruuilparenU removed to Ken tucky aUwt the year ITl.

It was here he received the one year's schooling which was all he ever haiL Ho became expert at llgures, and read over and over tho few books ho could lay hands on in that wilder ness home, often reading by the ruddy blao of a log lire when the others were fast uslecp.

There are places in the ocean very near to tho liioc-t frequented shores, like the gulf btrealn off Cajie llatteras, where it has lieon fuuiid impossible if not imjiracticablo to do- turniine the depth of the wutcr wilb certain ly, owing to tho rapidity of the current, combined with iU great depth; and the sumo btroum, withi:i a few miles of the north shore of Culm, where the depth is less than 1 , (XX) fathoms, fur a longtime balllcd the skill ot tho best ol'.lceiu of the American navy in their efforts to obluin a section across the straits between Culm and Key ','est; and uu tho oilier hand, there aro areas extending liniidriHls of miles seaward from the eua.iLi of continents, like the plateau off the coot of lroliuid, w hej'e the dejith hardly excciU .'sm lathums, and where soundings aiv easily nuulo that they would bo clussod in .lydiogriiphiu w ork us "off shore soundings.'' i nher purtioiis,of the sea level, agniu, deepen ,,1'uduiiliy truin tho shore outwuid, uud would Is) diilicult to say where "off Uuro soundings" cud and "deep sea soundaigs'' bcgiu. Color. Yon will find iu the study of light nrd colors that .the color of an object depend u'kui the reflection of rays of light from Hint object, aivordiug to the teeuliur character tho atomic constituents coiiiponingthoobjoct. Now in u room that is dark (i. e where there is on entire absence of light rays) there mut of necessity bo no light rays to bo thrown back or reflected from the object; conse- utiently, if you can possibly tierwivo th objivt, ut all (which is doubtful), you rill perceive it black. The law of colors is a law of rctlivtiuu of light rays. Tho solar spec trum, or, in other words, a ray of light, is compos., i of seven colors, viz. : VMot, indigo, blue, cin, yellow, orange and red. An ob' joct ulisorbing one ry, aiid throwing off all the othera, is the color of the ray ukxirbed, the re.lcctitig rays thrown together forming In tho cvo tho color of tho ray uWrbed by t ho object, hence are comilementnry.
