There are now five Free Cburcliesln Glasgow which refuse admission to membership to anyone engaged in the liquor traffic. Of the 80,000 criminals in German prisons, 14,000 were arrested for cringes committed under the influence of in- toxicating drinks. And yet it is cone tinually asserted that beer and wine do not degrade the Germans! The Toronto Globe says : A crusade against what is commonly called the social evil has been begun -in Victoria, B. C. The leaders in the movement are the Rev. P. McF. McLeod,Presby- terian ; the Rev. D. Fraser, Presby terian, and the Rev.Ooverdale Watson of the Methodist Church,two of whom, at least, are well known in this city. The ministers spoke very strongly on the question,and the mayor was inclined to resent their utterances,hiscontend= being that Victoria was no worse off 'than other seaport towns similarly situated. A, lady who had been a missionary for ten years on the coast 6f China writes to friends at home : if our American women sinew how much the American sailors on the coast of China kneed, their help to save them from in• temperance, they would come to the rescue. Another missionary says that no more effective work can be done for foreign missions than holding gospel temperance meetings among sailors wile are to visit heathen ports. Each drinking sailor who visits such a port, by his, example undoes the work the missionary is doing, while every sailor converted to God and total abstinence in the gospel temperance meetings of America or England is a missionary for every port the keel of his ship touches. An illustration of this fact is given in the story of the Sailor Jack converted in a gospel meetings of the Chicago W. 0.,T. U. many years ago. After his conversion he sailed the wide seas over, an unconscious forerunner of Mrs. Leavitt and Miss Ackerman. At every port he stopped, his first in spiry was for a W. C. T, U., and if he did not find one—as he seldom did —he told the people they ought to have one, and did what he could to start it. He wrote from an African port, [ have organized a < W. 0. T.

The feet of the mother's being a widow does not iia any way effect her preoedenee, She will be Mfrs. John Brown. A widow is not expected to re-enter soeiety un- der i year after her bereavement, and she should neither. exeept'nor issue in• vitations during this period, Cards of thanks for kind inquiries should be Sent soots after a funeral. It is absurd that a young woman who has never worn a cap before should take to wear- ing one because she has lost her Ihuse band. They are usually unbecoining, and are not so meta seen as formerly. 1t is not the correct thing to send in visiting cards at a first visit. It seems to imply a doubt as to whether you will be received or not. It would be only right if you were paying a business call. If one has been invited to a house, the hostess is supposed to re- member the visitor. Shaking hands is a courtesy too often neglected• Americans seem to be half afraid of the custom. Of course, when an in- troduction takes place out of doors, on the street, in shops, or in passing, an inclination of the head is all that is necessary, accompanied by a smile if one is pleased to make the stranger's acquaintance. But when the present. ation is in one's own or a friend's house civility demands a cordial grasp of the hand. Nothing sets people so much' at their ease,and the graceful perform- ance of this simple act can be =Rivet_ ed until it amounts to a tine art. Ai - 'ways go half way in offering your hand, with the palm turned slightly upward, and throw spirit into the movement. Then close the fingers and thumb with a firm yet gentle pressure over those of the other party. Vigor and warmth should both be expressed without the slightest exaggeration of either send - went, for then. the pretty ' courtesy degenerates into vulgarity, Tact will dictate just how long a hand shake should last, three seconds,more or less, being indicative of one's feelings. A very charming and dignified woman once said she never missed. a possible opportunity of shaking hands, and when congratulated on the nungber of her friends, added that she honestly believed elle bad won two-thirds of her admirers by the way her father had taught her years ago to compliment people by grasping their hands. The English, who rarely introduce their guests, and look as though they would call a policeman if one ventured •to speak without being presented, are gradually adopting the American cus•, tom of making small companies known to each other. It is stupid and awk'. ward for both host and guest to make the rounds of the room introducing a stranger. Let his or her acquaintance grow naturally by making the °new- comer known to half a dozen in their immediate neighborhood. An intro- duction is, however, imperative when guests sit near each other at the table. What is Good Form P Among hints on good form, some of the following suggestions may be found of value : Do not kiss your relatives on the street, at the house of a mutual friend, in fact, at any sort of a formal gathering. Only shake hands warmly and ° smile warmly at them. If any one happens to be supersensitive enough to take offence, you.can afford indifference, for an infringement of this rule is underbred. No matter how eminently a host or hostess may shine in an art, it is scarcely the thing to make an exhibition of bis or bet ex- cellence at honfe. There are,of course, exceptions to this unwritten law of hospitality, but if one is an ir+ifferent nntsician, elocutionist, actor, et cetera, then one makes a direct demand upon the politeness of the guests in asking them to play the part ftfaudience. If, on the other hand, one'saccomplish- moats are superlatively line, they are apt to Overshadow the performances of the rest of the company.
