dearrilie 'the noise of little merrymaking
in an African village aa something which
no civilized man easily forget. Thoae
who have passed an evening at a Chinese
theater have probably never in their
wildet dream thought It possible to
produce play with musical accompani
ment of inch awful ihrillnca and In
trinity. In fact. It ii hardly an exaggeration to
tay thnt the progrvaa of a race in civ
ilization may tie marked by a tteady re
duction in the volume of tound which It
produce in connection with it death,
birth, marriagea, feattt, merrymak
ing, Itt wart and (teacet, trade, com
merce and manufacture. The more cul
ture of all kind it acquire the lost noise
it produce. There i no turer tign, in
fact, of an upward movement of the
tribal mull than the appearance of a do
ire to get along with lut uproar. When
it lending nu n la-gin to aak themtelvet
whether thi or that could not aafely be
done with fewer yell or mialler drum,
it chow that it i becoming self contclon
and it feeling the throb of a new life.
After thit come a change in the charac
ter of thu musical instrument, a general
lowering of thu tone of tho voice, tho
ubtitution at fimeraUof the tilenttear
for the half maniacal "keen." and the
exaction of alienee iu military drill.
In cities thi mental and moral growth
It of course diiplayed in the repression
of street cries, of ttreet mtiKic, of all
noiie muds for mere amnsement, inch
as beating of drums, and blowing of
horn, and purposeless and persistent
shouting nnd yelling. Them are bnt
rudimentary step, and we have already
taken them iu New York. The next and
most important one, the reduction of the
homo miido by the ordiuary and legiti
mate street tr.ifllc, we are only iH'giu

with the increasing interest in and care
for public hygiene.

itors, milliliter, is something enonuout
and grows with all our material growth.
The performance of this work in the
midst of tremendous uproar of any kind
of course greatly Increases the expendi

all mental exertion. Consequently the
reduction of city noise is now one of the

ETIQUET ft IN NOTE PAPER.

If there is auy one thing ia tha world
that may be sal I to denote the breeding
of a person it i in the taste displayed in
tbe use of note paper. F aahlon change
but flightly in that line, aud artutic
implicity is the fonu to besought after.
There i nothing so offensive as eccen
tricity In style of paper, for it U oo of
tb little thlug thtt teem to trivial and
eouut for to mncb in the ey-a of the

Paper that rivals tho sunset

stamp the user at once aa one who is not
familiar w ith the precepts of fashion.
And imt fa-hion alone, by any meant;
it it refinement that it thown in tbt
use of priqwr stationery, and refinement
and fashion may not alwayt mean tb
same! Never use a paper that l decoruted
with dowers in one comer, tbe leaves of
which wander all over the sheet. Avoid
anything In that way. A Undscai re
sembling a Christmas card or fancy
figures for headings are not in theit
proper plai-ea on note paper. There i
nothing artistic in snch forms, nothing
refined, simply a display of bait taste
and ill breeding that is ides king to the
person well informed on such matter.
Tbe etiquette of note pas-r is dictated
by tate. I.udie should use only the
smaller izu of p.iper. requiring but one
fold, aud the envelope should be square.
The single correapoiideure cants have
gone out of style aud are seldom seen
nowaday. The paper is generally linen
or cream laid, na beat suits individual
taste aud should be unruled. White or
creuiu paper I the beet, although a gen
tle shade of blue i permitted. Other
tints are not desirable, neither are they
proper. Do not ue uiir that is ragged
at the edge nor envelope with curious
flaps. Tho best linen ihht may be pur
chased at the name price aa I paid for
tbe futicy varietii'a. am the best is the
chex-st: it i a guarantee of retiuemeut.
If a moiiogram it desired, have it en
graved never printed. In this country
couts of nnu and crests are out of place,
but you may have a neat monogram or
your initiuls for a heading with perfect
propriety, only Iw sura that the work is
in keeping with taste and not too promi
nent or glaring. The name of your
country place is very good, the name of
the village in which you live, or the
street number if you chance to reside in
a city. In the latter case, however,
omit the name of the town, and in Jtber
case the state should not be given.
This i but a glance nt the etiquette of
note pas r; it ia very simple when yon
think of it. but so many people seem to
be Igiiornnt of the rules. The one great
thing in note M!iK-r is to avoid vulgarity
or show iu any way. and then you know
that you cannot lie wrong. The sim
plest is the Is-st Oddities of tint or or

Tb beneficeut physical, moral, to
ial, financial and rsthetio advantage
f vegetable food ar insisted upon by
the members of the reguUriao congress
at Chicago, and each advantage is laudud
a salutary in the highest degree. Pro
fessor Mayor, a well known classical
scholar of St. John' college, Cambridge,
aver that Tegetarian suffer but little
from thirst. They ar "tct free fmm
craving which the world without bears
aa the voir of instinct, strong, imperi
ous. Inexorable." He drinks a glass of
lemonadu at p. tn. "from habit rath
er than to alake thirst." aud ba some
time take a twig of milk at railway
ttation restaurant "to encourage the
dairy at the ex-iie of tho brewery."
Thus, so far at he it concerned, thirst it
abolished. Us need no dnnk of any
kind.
The English soldiers and civil servant
In tbe tropic stn-tche of Asia and Afri
ca have only to follow Professor Mayor'
example. Thu the value of vegetarian
ism to military science become evident.
In fact, not merely the operation! of tha
commissary deMrtiiiont, but the whole
art of wnr wr a'd le wonderfully changed
aud simplified if Mr. Thomas Atklut
would forswear tnent. Professor Mayor
has not attained bis victory over thirst
without sacrifices, at which the grosser
race of meat rater will gnu. For in
stance, he tuke the white of an egg,
neat, without salt or pepja-r. Thu he
avoid the incitement to thirst and
keep bit palate In condition to receive
with rnptnre that British vegetable, the

and grasae and salad guiltless of condi
ment, becomes capable of receiving savo
ry sensation fniui dishes of the simplest
sort, and a turnip picket! np in tbe fur
row may be tweeter than a ttalled ox
tenderloin.
We ln thtt Pmfesior Mayor will
now go on to the abolition of hunger.
He hat put thirst away from him, and
there seeint no reason why he thould lie
lest successful with its running mate.
Of rotirso he will I? allowed to nibblu a
radish now and then from habit, even
after he has conquered Imperious, inex
orable Instinct. The economic advan
tages arising from the ntsilition of thirst
would lay very great, and lrofessnr May
or has it in hit iowor, if be can get the
world t hunger thmttlcd, to add enor
mously to the wealth of the world. Still
greater would be the saving if the world
would eat vegetable from habit only.
It's cheuiMT to keep a cow than a man.
Ya are afraid, however, thnt the major
ity of men would go on jierpetiinl strike
if the necontity of eating and drinking
were removed, so that there would In a
loss of wealth af;er all. But what' tho
nse of being wealthy if you can become
healthy and virtuous by eating vegeta
ble only.
The profound moral which vegetarian
ism holds for prohibition is obvious.
"The consumption of flesh," says a vege
tarian resolution, "craatos a thirst for
intoxicating liquor and should lai aban
doned by ull who dimire to pnuuotu tem
perance reform." This gm-s to tho root
of tho matter. Prohibiting graju-s and
corn and biqit and appbt wouldn't be
enough. There will always lie some in

tubject to tho dom iud.i of thirst. Hera't

now and forever! Nor it iuteuiierance
tha only evil which will not and cannot
grow in tbe garden. Dr. Paul I outer of
Berlin it confident that the adoption of
Vegetarian principle will "end tho war
between the ixmr and the rich, solve tha
social problem, complete tho work of re
ligion and in all way ameliorate the un
happy condition of the human race."
Reflect npon these things, erring csr
nivont, and think thnt overy time you
order a beofstrak at the butcher's, you
ar ordering nubuppluvsa, the deteriora
tion of the human rnce and the deliuso
ment of society. Oo to the grocer't and
bny a peck of potatoes and tome cucum
ber aud a plug of tobacco, and carry
peace and xitei'cy of social regeneration
hom to your cook. Who can tell that
th future of Europe may not be peace
ful if Professor I'oter can induce the
German emperor to live upon string
bean and asparagus tip for a few
months Will anybody pretetid that
Exzellno might but have been a man u
mild at milk if ho had been restricted to
a diet of tpr.ghetti in bit youth? Does
anybody suppose that Jeffrcyt lived
npon olives?
In addition to the moral, physical and
economic advantage of vegotuble diet
there it the Ruthctical advantage. Mr.
Bruce, tha English woman whose paper
on "The Xaluetics of Vegetarianism"
waa read at tbe congress, believes that
"meat eating i opposed to I lcali-.ni,
while vegitarianism ha much to offer
that connects it with the highest and
tvst in life. The highent aspect of veg
etarianism is a-stbcticisin. It t full of
vital truth and beauty." Wo now see
why Mr. Oscar Wilde at huckleberric
when be wa in the United State. Using
th term mtheticism in it larger tense,
w e why Emerson ate beans and
wby. Judged by result, to many of his
disciples seem to har lived on cabbage.
