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

Yon will find iu the study of light nrd
colors that .the color of an object depend

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'

operation, an infinite period of time has
evolved from tho lowest forms of animal lif
the highly organized und intelligent uiiimal
known us num. This process of ovuluiiu,1.,
according to tho theory, is still going on con
