bottom coupleß cross Half to right and half to left, and buck to place*. The other couples repent the same figure. The iifth figure commences with the grand chain formed of two circles, an outer and an inner one, four couples in O'ch circle. As placing iho couples is tathora complicated affair, one of the gentlemen of the leading couples generally undertakes to tell them the order in which to stand The order is as follows : Top right-hand couple in outside circle, top left-hand couple In inside circle, bottom right-hand couple in outside circle, bottom lefthand couple Inside circle, side right-hand couples outside circle, the left-hand sjd« couples in the inner circle. There is another way of placing the couples, which is, that Hie outer circle is formed of the four couples who sUnd at top and bottom, and the inner circle formed by the four side couples ; but this way of forming the circles is not con sidered the fashionable manner of doing 80 The leading top and bottom coupleii after tho grand chain has been doencen, promenade round inside the figure and return to places, the top emple facing tho top of tho room, the opposite couple facing the bottom of tho room, ant) each couple tall in in turn right and left behind the top and bottom couples, form ing four lines ; they cross and back again, the ladies then lead oil'to the right, the gentlemen to tho left, parti crs meet at bottom, join hands, and lead up the centre, ■when they separate and fora two lines, ladies on one side, gentlemen on the other ; they then advance, retire, and turn part ners with hands to places. The grand chain is then formed with two circca arran ged as before, and this concludes 'he lifth iigure. In each i'uure we have said turn with the hands, ns for gentlemen to turn their partners by thojwaist is unheard of in Jjood society.

Etiquette in 1882.

From an English contemporary we extract the following hints and direction* :— SVhea a call is made at » Indy's house, either in town or country, and the servant says— '" Not at homo 1" it is bad manners to ask—" When will Mrs lilank bo at home?"

In case of a lady being at homo tho visi tor would follow the servant to tho recep tion-room, mid give her name as Mrs or dft'ss Bell, or whatever the name may be ; If given at the hall door, the servant, who, periiaps.might bo unaccustomed to the posi tion, would ia all likelihood forget the true name and substitute some other.

The titlo of " Honourable," as a prefix to a name, i« never mentioned to a servant, nor does tho servant announce it to his mistress, whether the culler be Kontlemaa or lady. Never the Honourable Mrs. or Mr Ellor, but plain Mrs. or Mr.; to bo an nounced as the Honoit'able Mrs or Mr Ellor would b« a solecism; that is to say it would bo an absurdity, inasmuch as it would give the idea that Mrs Ellor was dis tinctly an houonrable woman. " All other titles, with the exception of thin, arc given, and printed on the visiting cards," tho Honourable never. If tho mistress be at homo to tin lady calling, no visiting card mu«t be given to the servant; cards are used exclusively foe leaving at tho house, in the abaonco of the mistress of it.

Whcna servant arrives at a drawing room door to ttimounco the name of tho visitor he has brought bo far, he asks the name, "and enters without knocking ; to knock at the door of drawing or dining room would be considered very vulgar, and should never be permitted. Tho only doors in a house at which it is proper for servants to knock before entering arc those of a bedroom or dressing-room." Should Ihelady not bo in the drawing room, the visitor must on no account ask any question of the servant; " Victors are not expected to converse with the servants of their acquaintances upon any topic what ever, and should never attempt to enter into conversation with them." This is golden advicc,and all visitors, whether for an hour, or for any time, long or short, should carefully noto this. "A gentleman brings his hat into tho room, and having ehaken hands with the mistress of the house, he lays it on a chair or table near at hand, or holds it in bis hand, till lie takes leave, and not till ho is in the hall will he put on his hat.

Wo have lately i»een in some papers that it is no longer good "form " for a gentleman to bring his hat into a drawing room, nei ther to hang it in the hall, but to put it witn his stick—if he has one—and gloves on the hall tablo; whicti of the two is right we cannot say, but the latter seems tho most polite, as certainly any table in a drawine-room is not a proper placs for a hat, and on a chair seems " too utterly " improper (in a fit-af absence it might be s»t urjon); to hold the hat in the hand ia a de triment to its shape. Common sense tells us that tho hall is not tho proper place for it; but then common sense has to succumb to aristocratic notions and customs.

"Not at homo" means not at lumusto visitors, and is understood as such. If, how ever, the mistress is at home, and is receiv ing a lady, nud another call dining this time, the servant does not say his mistress is engaged, but ushers the second lady into the drawing-room, when it is usual for the first lady to leave, not immediately, but in a few moments.

«* " Ashort quarter of an hour is the limit of a ceremonious call; during such a visit it would not be polite for the hostess to nsk a visitor whether she wilHako any refresh incut ; tea and tea only is offered, neither cake nor bread-and-butter.. H whatever time a visitor arrives, even if it is earlier thaujis customary, tea must be ordered at once."

It is not usual to ask visitors to take a second cup of tea, or to inquire if " the tea is to their taste." " These questions are •well enough in the housekeeper's room, where tea is a meal, but they would be out of place in a drawing-room, where tea in served to afternoon callers—always in the drawing-room, never in the dining-room; the hostes* generally dispenses the tei her self ;no servant being in attendance; the daughters, if any, help her." "It is not usual to take leave of the hostess at ' afternoon tow,1, unless the hostess is a new acquaintance and the visit is a first one, where it would be polite to do so. The hostess does not ring to order the door to be opened, or for a carriage to be called ; the guests go into the hall, whore servants in attendance call up the carriages, and show the visitors out; or the guests wait io the dining-room or hall till their carriages are announced."

A Fortune-Telling Wife.

JOHN KIOSS of Newark became a widower eight years ago, when he was GO years old, and after a suitable time of mourning he married a fortune-teller named Lizette. By catching muskrat* on the meadows bordering on Newark Bay and selling them and collecting cat tails, Klnss had accumu lated a fortune, with accrued interest of many years, of $40,000. The fortune teller had a bunk deposit of §1 500. They made their home in Springfield avenue After living with him fivo months Mrs Kloss left her husband, and sued him for nria-support. She averted that he did not

civfl her enough food, and in m»ny wa\ s was unkind to her. Kloss testified that S'ion after his first wife died Lizett" came to his house, and said it was not pood for a man to live alone. In telling his fortune by cards, and by studying the palms of his hands, she predicted that lie would have a long and happy life provided he should marry again. The suit was1 decided a((ianst Mrs Kloss. Six months later she hail Klohs arrested for neglecting her, but tho chhc ended in favour of the husband. Mrs Kloss ran up a bill of §150 for dry goods, and Kloss wis sued for the dobt. Again Kloss won tho suit. He said he was ready to give his wife a home and live with her. Next the wife began a suit for an .absolute divorce. In court she testified that Kloss abused and threatened her, und finally drove her out of the house. He denied this. After a long delay the Court decided that tlie parties lire apart, and that Kloss pay his wife §7 a week.

A Lively Husband.

In the Scottish Court of Session, Lord Frazor Inn planted separation in an notion by Jemima Black, wife ot a livoly tobacco nist in Edinburgh, In her evidence she stated thiit he had struck hor, and culled her, and kicked her; and. besides, he was very cruel to their two children. She was ultimately obliged to leave him, as sho con sidered her life in danger. Defendant was also in the habit of taking tho bedelothcH oft" the bod and putting them amongst the coals, placing pots »nd pans upon the table cloth, throwing dishes about, and putting newly-ironed clothes into tho sink, and then kicking up a row next morning be cause ho hadn't a clean shirt. It was also his custom to put broken glass upon their bedroom rug, so that witness might have her feet cut. He had also threatened her with v knife, a sword, and a pistol, and on one occasion to throw vitriol over her-all of which caused her great distress of mind. When Mr Black was not dispensing to bacoo, he was engaged in filling the domca tie life with incident.

A Frenchman's Experiences at Aldershot.

M. St. GKNEST writes to tho Paris "Figaro":—"l go to Aldershot, believing that I shall find in the huts there regiments closely resembling our own. Accustomed to the lamer-aller, the peculiarities of our encampments, I never thought even *.f putting on an evening coat and white tie. In this sweetly confiding frame of mind I arrive at the 'moss.' Another surprise. All tho officers are wearing purple-coloured jackets with silk facings, white waistcoats with gilt buttons, tight trousers, and slipper-, his vulel-de-picd standing behind each of fie company. Tho service, 1 find,is as luxurious and magnificent aa in the finest hotel of tho Faubourg St. Germain. Scarcely are the introductions at an end when the dinner begins. Ono gentleman after another drinks my health, to which I reply by bow ing and emptying my glass, with the rcault that—my hosts numbering forty—my brain soon begins to grow somewhat confused. The toasts—ft fearful trial—commence. I cannot understand a word of the English I hear round me, and my entertainers cannot understand mine. The others drink the health of the Emperor Napoleon, to which I respond with that of Quoen Victoria. They talk about tho greatness of France ; I point to the prosperity of England ; thoy culogiso Inkerman, I oite Balaklava. In the midst of these toasts, this semi-drunken ness. I noticß many remarkable things sweets with the fish, marmalade with chicken, mustard after the cheese, ami then when I fancy the repast is at an end, the •errant presents mo with a sort of white bouquet, like a bride's, which I nccent mechanically without knowing very clearly what I ought to do with it On examining it more closely, I perceive it to bo celery, raw celery 1 Everybody has a similar bouquet before him, and after cutting it up into little bits, swallows it in the nvst serious manner possible. After tho celery como the sweets; after tho sweets, ices ; after the ices, coffee. At length, drunk with all tho " healths," my head ucwildored by the toast1? I had to improvise, my stomach overpowered by tho mixturo of dishes, I rise, and supported by one of the officers, seek my bed in my tent, where I quickly get to sloop and dteam about the beautioa of Covent Garden, who seem to be execut ing sarabands with the Horse Guards before a buffet covered with povsson aux confitures and ecleri uu cJuimpagne. I am still asleep when the door opens, and after n moment's pause an immense machine, Hupple and fiat, penetrates into my room, followed by two waiters armed with nurne rouacurions objects—gigantic Rponges, rough towels, enormous bristle brushes. No one will credit the tortures they inflicted on me. Mahomet himself would revolt at the bare idea. Twenty times ia the sponge emptied over ray devoted head, twenty times am I scarified with their rasping towels, whilo, redder than a lobster, I shudderingly stut ter,' Thank you! thank you!' Afrer (.bis processes my torturers reappear with glasses of gin and whtsky.J which; I carefully pour |into my bath directly their backs are turned. From this morning the bath—the ' tub '—becomes a bugbear to mo, my groat ohject always being ,to Ret up before its arrival."

Dreadful Trapeze Accident.

A TERRIBLE accident ewjcurred at tbe Star of Erio Music Hall, in Dubliu, owned by Mr Dan Lowry, One of the items iv tbe perforance woo the ileriel flights of Anois, surnamed tUe " Flying Wonder." Tiioeo consiat of flights from one end of the hall to the other over the audience department, there being no net or other protection under neath. The performances were so daring that there were cries from the audience of " Enocgh." His last movement, according to Artoia's customary programme, was to spring from a flying trapeze to a stationary one fixed over the stage. Hemade the spring. and succeeded in catching the trapeze both with bis handsand feet, buthis hold docs not appear to have been firm enough, '.for after swinging once or twice he suddenly loosened his grasp, and fell to the ground on his back and necs.. While in the net of falling lie'turned round once, and after reaching the ground he turned half-way round on his side, but did not afterwards move. ' One of the attendants came out aud looked at the motionless body, and the curtain was immediately lowered. A number of the andieucc then went on the stage, and on examination it was fcuud that the unfortunate man was bleeding pro fusely from the nose, the mouth, the head, and the ears. Breathing was scarcely per ceptible, and his arms were becoming rigid. He was conveyed to Mercer's Hospitni on a stretcher, and died, half-an-hour after wards.

The victim of the fatal- trapeze accident in Dublin was named John Lilly, and he came from London. He was of fine phys ique, and he performed at Preston prior to his Dublin engagement. He fell GO feet, almost bursting his skull behind. A heart rending scene ocurred with the deceased's wife, who has three children.

The " Irish Timss " says :—ln tbis case there was no net spread, the performer having repeatedly refused to use it. The

man fell right upon his head, and lived only half aa-hour, but was never conscious. Tho appearance of the body with all its stage costume upon it in the hospital room was very harrowing. 1

ITEMS OF INTEREST.

A HAN snw advertised " a sure cure for drunkenness." lie forwarded the necessary dollar and received by return mail, written ova vahuble postal card in beautiful violcc ink. the nwgic words—" Don't drink."

Some time ago an Irish nobleman wrote a letter on a Parliamentary 'question to a correspondent in the We.t ef England. In the course of his letter be made u*e of the expression, "1 am only a thinker." A daily contemporary credited liim with saying, " I i»m only a tinker."

October 30, 1567. - Bessie Tailiefeir, in the Canongatc, Edinburgh, haviogslandered bailie Thomas Hunter by saying " he had in his house ane false stoup," which was found not true, was senteuced to be brankit and set on the cro;8 for an hour.

Apples have been cul ivated on the soil of Great Britain ever since the time of the Roman invasion. Jt is said that there are now kno *ntob ias mauy as 2,000 varieties, gome of which are grown as far south as New Zealand, while others thrive as far north as the sixty-fifth degree of latitude.

The census of Scottish Parliamentary burghs reveals some curious statistical facts. There are only 7 burghs in Scotland where the male sex preponderates. Edingburgh, with a population of 228,190, lus an excess of about 20 000 females, while Glasgow, amongst 487,048 inhabitants, has only an excess of nearly 10,000 female?. The case of Dundee, however, is without a parallel in this respect, for though its population amounts only to 140,0")4, the females exceed the males by about 17,700, Mr. Isaac 1 rato, of Massachusetts, mar ried a widow with three children thirty-two y> ars itgo t-ince then she has had no less than twenty-two children, of whom sixteen are now living- There arc already over fifty children and grandchildren. Such a family ought to have migrated years ago to the Far \\ est, where their numbers would be duly appreciated. No les. than forty-four persons were killed in the streets of London last year by omnibuses and tramcars, the Litter killing the greater numher. The " Engineer "says there v no reason why anyone should be run over by tramcars, because the expendi ture of n pound or two per car would enable a safety appliance to be fitted that would provent many accidents. And yet the work of mutilation and slaughter goes on un checked. Tramways are spreading in all directions, and it becomes, therefore, a serious ques ion whether the time has not arrived for the Board of Trade to insist upon proper guards being fixed. Inquiries after death are useless unless something is dooc to prevent similar fatalities in future. Per haps the Ci y Council will take this matter in hand.

Sleep as a Medicine.—A physician says that the cry for rust ha* always been louder than tho cry for food. Not that it is more important, but it is often harder to obtain. The best rest comes from sound sleep. Of two men or women, otherwise equal, the one who sleeps the better will be the more healthy and eflicient. Sleep will do much to cure irritability of temper, peevishness, and uneasiness. It will restore vigour to an over-worked brain It will build up and make strong a wea'f body. It will cure a headache. It will cure a broken spirit. It will cure sorrow. Indeed we might make alone list of nervous and other maladies that sleep will cure. The cure of sleepless ness jrequires a clean good bed, Buflicient exercise to promote weariness, pleasant occupation, gond air, and not too warm a room; a clear conscience, and avoidance of stimulants and narcotics. For those who are overworked, haggard, nervous, who p\ss sleepless night?, we commend the adoption of such habit* .13 will secure sleep; other wise life will be short, aud what there is of it sadly imperfect.

Setting the Giftolgw.

" Here arc the dissolving views," said the showman, wicb a bland bow, as he met tlio visitor just inside the door of the museum, and guidtid him to a row of peep holes. A glauce through a ha i lens at a picture which needed no distortion to make its lines wildly improbable, satisfied all curiosity as to that branch nf the exhibition. The visitor started for the farther end of the lonp, dingy hall, where a gibbering idiot was labelled "The What is It ?" a 3001b fat woman was trying to look like COO by sitting far forward in a stuffed chair. Some young alligators were crawling in a cage, a pretty youug womnn had her hair Btnck ont all ways straight, and a young fellow was perform ing sleight-of-hand'tricks before ,an assem bly of seventeen persons. •

"Step this way," said the showman, takine the visitor by tho arm, " and see the Giftolgia." 1

'•The what?"

"The Giftolgia, Bir. This way, if you plo«£e,"

The visitor let himself be led iato a small room, which had been partitioned oQ in a comer. There was a g/ass case on a counter, holding a lot of brass jewellery, several wiitches, some opera glasses, revolvers, Mid other articles, each numbered. The showman stepped bching the counter, and a fellow who looked like a countryman entered, closing the door behind him. The Giftolgia was the gift en velope swindle, and it was worked in the familiar old way. The l.ascal behind the casn pnt out a box of envelopes, which he said coutaiaed numbers corresponding with thoso ou the articles in the case, and offered 11 choice for half a dollar. Then he let the visitor draw ono os an experiment, and tho priza proved to be a watch. Next, the coufederato rascal, in the guise of a country man, bought a chance, and requested the visitor to draw for him. The prize was an op&ra glass, which, after aome haggling, wa* bought back for 4dols.

"By heavens, sir," said the showman to the visitor, " this must be your lucky Saturday. Try it for yourself," " No." "O, yps. It's only half a dollar." The visitor laid down the coin, and the showman proffered the box of envelopes. "No, I won't draw,", said the risitor. " I've gWen you that half dollar because I think I've hart the worth of It. I suppose I've fceea lliU game worked a hundred times. Now, of course, these envelopes contain only the numbers calling for worth less prizes. What has heretofore puzzled me was how you managed to substitute t!io watch or opera glass card when X drew for fun, or for your stool pigeon. To know that is worth half a dollar."

The ebowmau was bilent. The visitor reached over the glass case, and lifted an eavelope from a tiuy hook, which held it flat ogaiust the back of the drop door. The trick had beeu to deftly and quickly slide the drawn envelope behind the case, and unhook one of those containing the ticket for a valuable prize; and this was done so neatly by the sbowmnn that it hardly seemed that the first envelope had been out 01 Bight at all.

The shmvHian pocketed the coin, but said nothing. fl,; seemed dazed. The visitor left him with his Giftolgia.

The most absent-minded man was not the man who hunted for his pipe when it was between his teeth, nor the man who threw his hat out of the window and tried to hang hia cigar'on a peg ; no ! but the man who put his umbrella to bed, and went and stood behind the door. Once when preaching at Wapping to a congregation composed principally of i>ea faring men and fianerwomen, Rowland Hill greatly ostonishod his congregation by com mencing the sermon with these words ; " I come to preach to great sinners, notorious sinners—yea, to Wapping sinnars I" "I think." said a farmer the other day, "I should make a good Parliament man, for I use their language.

It is a curious fact that poor people have numbcrles* children, while the rich seem to have very small families When a sancti monious clergyman said to one of his hum blest puiißhionora, who was surrounded by little ones enough to make a rainy Sunday congregation.
