"Not m Da4 llook U Rrad."
Mr. Andrew Ivu); remarks somewhere
that lie believes be bas not a siuyie dic
tionary ia bis boose. There uu.t be tnanv
precedents for this strange ouiunion from
a literary man's library, says a writer oo
the subject of "Eminent Men ami the Die
Uooary," or if many of our "standard an
thort" had a dictionary I hey never used
it, or used it to poor purpose. Pope, aod
indeed nearly all the poets (Scott included,
we mar add), could not tpcll, nor could
Sheridan, Dickens, Doupla Jerrold and
Charles Lamb, and even Thackeray some
times forgot the rule:

An eminent Shakespearean scholar, too.
once showed that be bad never made the
acquaintance of Johnson's Dictionary.
BrowuioK. oo the other band, when it was
definitely decided that Le was to adopt
literature as bia profession, "qualified him
self for it," as Mrs. Sutherland Orr tells
us, "by reading aod digesting the whole of
Johnson 's Dictionary." This fact explains
bis mastery of all the intricacies of the
English lAOgnsse. By the way, a legal
luminary bas no high an opinion or far
superseded work that be refuses to accept
definitions from other sources. Tennyson
was said frequently to consult that odd aid
to poesy, a rhyming dictionary, and Words
worth, like Byron, constantly made use of
vocabularies, "1 never compose," be ooce
said to a visitor, "without having a diction
ary at hand, ready to turn to when t want
a word." In that case a dictionary must
have been bis inseparable companion, and
it Is not a bad one either, even for the
hypothetical "desert bland."
Lord Chatham told one of his friends
that be bad twice read from beginning to
end Butler's Dictionary. He waa rewarded
for his trouble. Fox said of bis great an
tagonist that be always oed the word.
and that each word had Its own place and
was regulated, not by chance, but by law. I
In later life Chatham used to have the dic
tionary read aloud to him once a year. He
said that many noble and useful words fell
out of use, which is true. Emerson also
thought the dictionary "not a bad book to
read," though for another reasou: "There
is no cant in it, no excess of explanation,
and It ia full of auggesiioo the raw ma
terial of possible poems and histories.
Nothing is wanting but a little Shuffling,'
sorting, ligat nre and cartilage." We have
a singular illustration of this proposition
in the practice of one of our most eminent
men of letters. This gentleman affirms
that there is no book like a dictionary
when anybody is in search of new ideas.
If he is stranded when preparing a speech,
be turns over a few pages of nuy dictionary,
and there finds ample material for the
longest oration.
Maeanlar'a Memory.
Lord Macaulay was proud of bis mem
ory, and bad little sympathy with people
who affected to have a bad one. He was
always willing to accept a friendly chal
lenge to a feat of memory.
"One day," writes Sir George Trevelyan,
"M Mm board room of the British museum
Stf David Dundas saw him hand Lord
Aberdeen a sheet of foolscap covered with
writing, arranged in three columns down
each of the four pages. This document, of
which the ink was still wet, proved to be a
full list of the senior wranglers at Cam
bridge, with their dates and colleges, for
the 100 years during which the names of
the senior wranglers had been recorded In
the university calendar, which Mncaulay
had written down from memory."
On another occasion Sir David asked,
"Macaulay, do you know your popes?"
"No," waa the answer; "I always get
wroug among the Innocents."
"But can you say your archbishops of
Canterbury? .
'f,Any one," replied Mocanlcy, "could say
the archbishops of Canterbury back
ward," and off ho went repeating them,
drawing breath only once to remark on the
oddity of there having been both an Arch
bishop Sancroft and an Archbishop Ban
croft, until Sir David stripped him at Cran
utT. He could recite not only tho whole
of the "Paradise Lost," but Richardson's
great romance, "Sir Charles Grandisou," a
work of prodigious size. Indeed it bas
been said that "his mind, like a dredging
net at the bottom of the sea. took up all
that It encountered, both bad and good,
nor even seemed to feel the burden."

Is wondrous wise; whene'er be writes the
printer man he dotteth all bis i's. And
when he's dotted all of them with careful
neasand ease, he punctuates each para
graph and crosses all his t's. Upon one
side alone be writes, and never rolls his
leaves, and from the man of ink a smile
and mark "insert" receives. And when a
question he doth ask taught wisely he hath

and plainly writes hiauoaurcdnaaie, so hi
that runneth reads. He writes, revises,
reads, corrects and rewrites all again, and
keeps one copy safe and sends one to the
printer num. And thus by taking little
pains, at trifling care and cost, assures
himself hU manuscript will ot be burned
or lost. So let ail those who long to writ
take pattern by this man. with jet blade
ink and paper white do just the beat they
can, and then toe printer man shall know
and bless them as bis friends all ihrouxa

Origin of e Social Cutoa. "
The custom of lifting tho hat is ex
plained aa having had its origin during
the age of chivalry, when it was customary
for knights never to appear in public ex
cept ia full armor. It became a custom,
however, for a knight upon entering aa
assembly of friends to remove his helmet,
signifying. "I am safe in the presence of
f riendA." The age of ebivalry passed away
with the Fifteenth century, but among the
many acts of courtesy which can be traced
back to its influence none is more direct
in it origin than that of lifting the hat to
acknowledge the presence of arriend.
COURTESIES BETWEEN STRANGERS.
AaxeotUes That Tert Cud
vood One's Oww Set.
There is a demand for the coarte&ies of
the immediate occasion, the amenities of
t be hour, the balance between strangers
which tests the" fiber of good breedlngtrRH
a measure beyond that of the hearthstone
or the circle of "one's own set-" Conven
tionalities bold but little of the spirit of
the individual. Tbey meet only theletter of
the social code. Exchange of obligations
between those of equal grade ia a matter so
clearly defined that a lapse is f redr inter
preted as an intended breach or a eonfes
sion of unpardonable Ignorance. Tbe things
tfcas, are Cesar's are rendered with bo
grudge of tribute. The habit and tone of
the outside life, the bearing of Un hotel
salon, the circle of the auditorium, the
press of the shop, the crowd of the railway
compartment or the steamer's deck come
to be the fair measure of caliber and spirit.
In dua turn the principle, the sympathy.
the personality of the voyager create aa at-
mospbere, establish the enteate cordiale
or excite the bristle of the quills com
rades of the hour, the day, the week, chance
companions indeed, with no certified claim
upon each other, but with power to make
or to mar the comfort, lighten the riirnr,
add to and share the brightness,
"I never speak to strangers, never make
advances," is by far too much the creed of
exclusiveness and reserve. The instinct
that would protect from familiarity and
aggressiveoess can surely trust something
to natural acumen and discernment. It is
a long journey through the various stages
of the world, and the clasped hands and
the locked lips give but little spirit of
cheer on the way. The code mutsel be
tween strangers is one of varying de
pendence, not of distrust and suspicion.
Places are shifted with each turn in front
today, behind tomorrow. "I have mads
my purchases, and am only waiting for
my change; you can have my place."
"There is room for another to sit, I know,
in the length of this car. but why should I
move unless I am pressedr" "Do you wish
to buy today, madam I" The stock is shown
with grudge and reserve; the shopping, a
mutual service and profit, becomes a dread
and a duty.
The intuition comes with the occasion,
the ready suggestion of fitness to the cir
cumstance, says Harper's Baxar, authority
for the foregoing. Shylock and Antonio
give each other but short shrift when haz
arding the chances of golden argosies; tbe
"coat and the cloak," the going of "miles
twain," is hardly asked for or expected in
tbe stir of personal seeking: but the morn
ing greeting, instead of the indifferent
stare, the offer of a chair, the unused book,
the very recoguitiou of existeuce. these are
small demands that have a lime and place.
That is a pleasant custom in the Old
World the bow of parting to those left be
hind when a traveler descends from the
compartment of the railway carriage.
"Adieu, monsieur! Bonjour, madame!" It
means nothing, merely passing the time of
day, but it gives a sense of companionship,
of identity and oneness with the situation.
Dogskins Taaaed by Ktoetrielty.
The stray dogs taken up by the French
police, according to a French journal, are
killed and handed over to an enterprising
manufacturer, by whom the skins are
tanned by electricity. Instead of taking
seven or eight months to transform the
skins into leather, as is the case by the
ordinary system, electricity does the work
In three or four days. The leather so
tanned, moreover, it is asserted, is much
better than that manufactured by the or
dinary process, and when made up into
ladies' boots and shoes is much admired
tor its soft and delicate qualities.

some prejudice against the use of petroleum

I Most practical chemists are painfully
aware of the unsightly appearance of re- .

plished most easily by using a small hoe; -hair

Measttag Cast Iren.
general impression prevails that when,
any cast iron object is broken it cannot be
mended. A correspondent of the New
York Tribune tells that a cement may be
made which will hold the parts together
perfectly. Take two ounces of sal ammo
niac, one ounce of sub-limed sulphur and
one pound of cst iron filings. Mix in a
mortar and keep tbe powder perfectly dry.
When it is to be used mix it with twenty
times its weight of clean iron filings.
Grind the whole in a mortar, wet with
water until it becomes a paste and apply
to the parts to be mended. After awhile
it will become as strung and hard as any
yart of the metal.
If you are really desirous of being la the .
latest English fashion you will at once add "
three or tour inches to the width of your
shoulders. This may be dons by wearing
a short caps flounce or large epaulets, '
arranged with much fullness on top of the -sleeves.
You will also broaden your cheat,
and have enormous lapels put on all your
gowns and outdoor garments. Your sleeves 1
should be some what larger than your waist
that is, if yon wear a JO-inch corset. The
bodices of your evening gowns will at .
course be made short, and cut low ia order
to show your shoulders. The sleeves will -be
fairly short and of the balloon pattern.
A Mew Style ta alrdreaslag. -A
style gaining favor is to dress the hail .. '
in a large chignon at the naps of the neck,
to divide she hair down the center, and :
then to dress it as if it had been waved w ,
crimped- Every woman cannot manage
this central division, especially it tbe hair ;
has been dyed or has been treated unduly
with the irons. Hair is ad longer dressed
high at the back of the hand, aa smooth-
ness and tidiness have, with many womin, .
superseded the frissiness which far awhiss
was considered the mode.
