Certain things have been luveut ed for the use of peopto who are iut born noble enough to do without thein, two ot which are law aud eti quette. Neither la requisite for na ture'e nobleuiau. but unfortunately uch Individual are acare, so the abort named Institution! flourish. By law we do not mean those natural lawa of chastity and honor, which tnitltute themselves, but thorn other statute and Umlta- ivut . sraauss. tlona, on the hither aide of which our moat popular citizens keep with difficulty. By eti quette we do not mean the common decenclee and kind nesses of life, but those little quirks of conduct by which people of faahlon demonstrate to the uuthlnktng masses that they are rery euperlor, but convince the reopectable minority of tbluklng people that they are foola. If either of these things harass you. be aure you are not to the manor-born, and have nuuiberleaa Incarnation before you In which to learn what those who do not fret agalust such barrier know tnatlnctlvely. To do the naturally kind and polite thing la the first Impulse of a real lady or gentleman. To do the ahowy and emart thing la the ambition of a perverse and for ward generation, new to riches and to the elegancies and refinements of life. Good horse sense I a tolerably fair guide to etiquette, and when this la supplemented by a kind heart be who possesses both la not likely to make a serious blunder, even In the most critical society. There are a number of thing done In the name of eti quette which are. to say the least of It, silly, if not positively rude. The truth Is, formal politeness Is one of the most worthless things In the world, unless accompanied by a genuine feeling of kindness and good will. There la a kindly and human bearing that must go with It, else mere mechanical etiquette Is In Itself Insulting. srxm am is atteactive. . There are few negative virtue which con duce more to the comfort of tike possessor, and those associated with blm or tier, than a tal ent for holding one'a tongue. To know when to speak, and equally when to be silent, I no small part of the necessary equipment for life. Many a man passes for wise simply by means of saying nothing' and looking Intel ligent when. other speak; while those who talk least make fewest enemies. "A man who cannot bold hie peace," says Carlyle, "la no right man." The strong man keeps bla own counsel ; the foolish babble. It 1 a weakness Into which most peo ple fall without reflection, and those who wish to please, being wise, endeavor to lead others to talk about them selves, to reveal their emotions, their thoughts, their hopes, and their feelings. Some wise man has said that such confidences are "the Insanity of conceit and the feeblest species of self-display," which, while severe, Is frequently true. A woman, especially, to be attractive must preserve a ens of reserve; she must so to apeak, keep up a cer tain) amouut of mystery about herself. To many person thla reserve I In Itself a compelling charm. In a popu lar modem novel the Imaginative hero wearies ot hi bride because he discovers that she la "too transparent, too easily understood." Which, however unreasonable, la not an Impossible atate ot affairs. There la an Ara bian proverb, one of the seven saying of Buleymau tb Sage, "Never tell all you may know, since he who tell all be may know often tell more than I wise." Tb precept la on well worth keeping. DANGER OF OVERPOPULATION. By Dr. Charlt A. L. J? red. The overpeoplliig of our luud Is destined to be a very practical. Indeed a very perpleilng problem In the not remote future. The rate of Increase In the density of the population In Great Britain for the seventy year from 1820 to 1KX was 250 per cent, and In Franc, Belgium and Italy It waa less than 100 per ' cent In the Cnlted States for the same period It waa 030 per cent, and for the suc ceeding fifteen year the rate ot Increase In this country has greatly accelerated. Take these fact In association with the additional fact that much ot our great area cannot contribute to the austentatlon of the people, and It requires no vivid Imagination, no prophetic vision, to foresee the time not many generations hence when the family Institution her will be subjected to the dlslntegratng Socialistic Influ ences that are to-day assailing It under pressure ot over crowding In the countries of Euroie. In India and In China the population la too large a It Is. The result Is perodlc famtnea and plague and unduly low wage In towns. A dense population Is no evidence of a nation's prosperity, but often the reverse. I TIME TO CALL A HALT. By Rabbi T. Scnaniarbtr. When certain men must starve while oth ers live In luxury aud extravagauce, little mindful of the atruggllng sons of toll to whom life has become a burden and a curse; when employers treat employes as tools and machine and fall to see In tbein tbetr broth ers; when fraud, corruption, dishonesty, grab and graft and loot take place In the city, tbe State and tbe Federal legislative balls ; when Senators are entrapped In land-grabbing schemes aud unholy family relationships; when deacons of tbe church rent out tbelr hotels for low and Immoral purpose because this nets them a large Income on tbelr Invest ment ; when devotees of tbe church and synagogue rent out their tumble-down, ramshackle, uninhabitable tene ment bouse to tbe poor, because they bring them usuri ous returns ; when the youth of this country are stunted and blunted and dwarfed through Inhuman child labor; when factories and railroad crossings and tbe murderous railroads send thousands to an untimely grave, the time baa come for every lover of humanity to cry a halt and to use every Influence to have such legislation passed aa will make these things an Impossibility In the coming years.

Scene Picturing the Awful Panic Which Ensued When the City of Kingston Was Bo Mercilessly Destroyed. WHY OTJEIL HELP IS SCAKCE. Allurement ot tbe Chora Prove More Attractive than Store Job. A New York paper recently contained an article upon the growing difficulty of securing help for the large depart ment stores, and the writer of this Ar ticle wondered where all the men and girl who only a couple of years ago stood In line to apply for work at these very stores from which tbe complaints are now coming have gone, say Harriet Qububy In Leslie's Weekly. Hotels are complaining about tbe scarcity of maids and of waiters, and there Is tbe everlasting wall about the lack of household servers. Do they vanish Into thin air? Not at all. Tbe secret of their mysterious and steadily Increas ing disappearance is solved. They go on the stage. The hundreds of musical comedies playing In New York and throughout the country swallow up these girls and men by the thousands. There are at present being produced In New York alone twelve musical plays. In which from 100 to 2fJ0 girls are em ployed In tbe chorus, and at the hlpK drome 400 or 500 girls and several hun dred men find constant employment One reason of this stampede to tbe footlights Is that It means more money. Few girls In shops earn more than $10 a week, and tbe great majority earn considerably less, while the homeliest kind of C 'chorus girl commands at least $15 a week, with costumes fur nished. If she happens to be pretty and Is a good dancer, she earns at least $20 or $25, and often more. From the writer's point of view the shop work, even with Its low wages. Is preferable to the life of tbe chorus girl, which Is anything but beer and skittles; but to those who only see the glare of tbe foot lights and bear the music of stage life, the chorus opens up a sort of perpetual fairyland to tbelr mental vision. De spite tbe hard work and the hardships which form a part of the chorus girl's , life, there Is undoubtedly a fascination' In It and few that have once entered upon It care to desert It for other work. Memory. Somebody of a psychological turn of mind once asked Lord Rosebery, "What Is memory?"

SKIN DISEASES HUMORS IN THE BLOOD Wlien the Hood is pure, Ircsh nnd healthy, the skin will be soft, smooth and free from blemishes, but when some acid humor takes root in the circu lation its presence i3 manifested by a skin eruption or disease. These humors get into the blood, generally because of an inactive or sluggish condition of the members of tho body whose duty it is to collect and carry off the waste nnd refuse mnttcr of the syBtem. This unhealthy matter is left to sour and ferment and soon the circulation becomes charged with the acid poison. The blood begins to throw off the humors and acids through the pores nnd glands of the skin, producing Eczema, Acne, Tetter, Psoriasis, Salt Rheum nnd skin eruptions of various kinds. Eczema appears, usually with a slight redness of the skin followed by pustules from which there flows a sticky fluid that dries and forms a crust, and the itching is intense. It is generally on the back, breast, face, arms and legs, though other parts of the body may be affected. In Tetter the skin dries, cracks and bleeds ; the acid in the blood dries up the natural oils of the skin, which are intended to keep it soft and pliant, causing a dry, feverish condition and giving it a hard, leathery appearance.
