Bill Nye on Etiquette.

Here are seme netful ♦ Hlnta on Uti* qaette,' for the gusdanoe of people *%• are not used to dining in polite aoefatyr They are from the pen of the late Bill There a great many people who beha?« well otherwise, bat at table do things that, if not absolutely oafcre and ensemble, are at least ' pianissimo' and * sine die.' It Is with a view to elevating popular taste and ethereal Islng, m to epeak, %ht manners and customs cf our readers, thai we give below a few hints upon tablt etiquette. If by writing an trtiote of this kind, wt can induce one man who now wipes hie hands apon the table cloth to come op and cake higher ground, and wipe them OS 1 his pant*, we shall feel amply repaid. If you cannot accept an Invitation to dinner.do not write four regret* en tfat back of a pool chtqae with a blue penett* This Is now regarded as ' tlcbehet* & 1 simple note to yoar host informing fctaft. that yonr washerwoman refoaee to relMft Is Boffidenb, On seating yourself at the table, draw o§ your gloves and pat them in yoar lap under yoar napkin. Da not put them la the gravy, as it would rain the gloves and cast a gloom over the gravy. If yoo have just cleaned yoar gloves with bereine, you might leave them oat in the frontyard. If you happen to drop gravy on yottt knife blade near the handle, do not ran the blade down your throat to remove the gravy, as it might injure your epiglottis, and it is not considered "enhoepoinfe 1 anyway. Stones in cherries or other fruit should not be placed apon the tablecloth, bnt slid quietly tnd unostentatiously into the pocket of yonr neighbour, or noiselessly tossed under the table.

In drinking wine, when you get to the b: fctom of your glass, do not throw yoar head back and draw in your breath like the exhaust of a bath tab In order to get the last drop, as it engenders a feeling of the most depressing melancholy among the guesta.

m THE GOOD WORK.

.* Day by day and hour by hour the " Little Conqueror" becomes better known by the public. Nothing in modem times h»s reached the high pinnacle of popular fame in so short a time ; people talk about it and they have good reason to. They tell their experience for the good of fellow beings and through grati tude. To publish their expressions Ie bat to show you that the same experience awaits ySui Here is the expression of an Ash burton resident :

Mrs Clayton, Tsncred St., West iahbnrtoQ, 6ays - "My son hsa had a good deal of trouble with pains In the back above the loins. He had to wear a flannel belt in fact, lint giving him the most relief until he tried Doau's Backache Kidney Pilla. We got) these at the Ash* burton Drug Co's in East St., tome months ago. When he had used tbeee for a while he lost the pains entirely. I fancy they were caused by cold in the kidneys, contracted through camping oat with the volunteers. Everybody should know about this valuable medicine. There is no need to Buffer with pains In the back when one can get Doan's Back ache Kidney Pills." Beware of imitations or substitute*. They are worthless. You want the genuine Doan's Batkache Kidney FUlt, which Mrs Clayton recommends Doan'a Baokaohe Kidney Pills in sold by all ehemteta and storekeepers aj) 3a per box (six boxes 16s fid) or will bf Sosted on receipt of prioe by proprleton, 'oater McOlellsn Co., 76 Ht6 RS.
