The experience of manâ€" Eind has demonstrated the necessity of these â€" restraints to any peaceful and orderly social life. They serve to reâ€" press individual eccentricities and. agâ€" gressions, to soften the asperities . of manners and expressions, and to faciliâ€" tate the quiet development of_ society. They multiply with the advance of civiâ€" lization, are for the most part purely artificial, and are arranged in the main simply for the convenience and proâ€" tection of men. Some of them are the outgrowth of sympathy and, charity, and express the kindly consideration and appreciation of men for their felâ€" lows. _ For the most part, however, they impose restraints and reserves, repress self will and egotism, . check undue :ri\'ulry and competition, and insure 3 wise measure of mutual forbearance and ostensible goodâ€"will. Without them opderly . society would have no exisâ€" tence, and the mare strictly they are observed the higher civilization _ may be said to be. _ They are, in fact, inâ€" dispensable . to the growth of civiliâ€" «zation. Rejection of them by <an inâ€" dividual or a community is an indicaâ€" tion of a relapse into savagery, the deâ€" velopment of organized society dependâ€" ing on the conformity, within certain limits, of all its members (0 these obâ€" servances. It is true that many ol Uhes© HSTB! are to the cultivated superfiuous restric tions, establishing principles of action which would be followed in any event. But to the great mass of men they are helps. ‘Their observance of them helps to subjugate the will, to temper natural impetuosity, to control outbursis of feeling and emotion, to conform men‘s manpers to the standard of the comâ€" munity in which they live, and in genâ€" eral to make the struggle of life more easy and gentle. If some usiges go too far, that is, push artificiality beyond what seems necessary to attain the oi» ject in view, as a whole they are wise, and guard against some social or moral danger. The Mohammedan who negâ€" lects the prescribed five prayers is not a good Moslem, and when a Hindu beâ€" gins to eat meat be soon gives up othâ€" er religious duties. The exemption of the Jews from intemperance is largely due to their conformity to observances, and the Quakers lost a good deal of valâ€" ue to them and to the world when lhéy alandoned~their peculiar dress. quettes is thus necessary to social life, and the great majority of them are to be commended as beneficial there is one danger, where these rules are morâ€" al, which should be guarded against. That is the tendency to insist that an artificial rule sanctioned for the protecâ€" tion of the morally weak is a positive spiritual obligation. Owing to the mulâ€" tiplication of such rules, the disposition is to set up a standard of virtue which, altbhough valuable | as a protection against evil, goes beyond the requireâ€" ments of divine law. A moment‘s reâ€" flection will bring to mind many phyâ€" sical and intellectual enjoyments and amusements, innocent in themselves, but which may become by misuse dangerous to weak natures. in many such cases the conventional usage intended mereâ€" ly for the protection of the weak and easily tempted against moral danger, is so emphasized as to make its breach apâ€" pear a geauine sin. It is well,of course, to restrain excess in any direction, to limit temptation to waste of time and energy, to undue physical or mental exâ€" citement; but it is not well to exaggerâ€" ate a mere counsel of prudence into a universalâ€"divine obligation. _ Sports or amicemants« which are likely to carry enjoyments which are likely to carry away the weak because supplying the stimulus th y crave, should be discourâ€" aged. But the moral conventions by which we seek to discourage them should not be given the force of divine communds, and th ir vio‘atioa th» gravâ€" ity of a deliberate sin against God. society imposes upon manners are not hard and fast rules of conduct, but are expected to give way to the urgency of individual need or to the demand of utility. _ They are simply principles reâ€" gulating conduct, and are rightly set aside whenever it is apparent that their observance would defeat the claim that many of the sports and enjoyâ€" ments in which people, and particularly young people, engage are in jurious in themselves. On the contrary, they are in many cases, very beneficial . It is unwise, therefore, in order to protect the wesk who may be tempted to"exâ€" cess by them, to insist that the moral rules sanctioned by society for their reâ€" gulation, are of universal application and of universal spiritual obligation. St. Paul allowâ€"d the strong to assert their freedom;, so long as they did not cause their weaker brethren to offend. A clear distinction seems thus to be established between what may be callâ€" ed a sin against a conventional rule, and a@‘sin which involves real moral guilt. To class them as equally heinous tends not only to defeat the purpose of the moral rules adopted by society for the protection of the weak, but to create rebellion against ail moral law.

Mrs. Colligan, the wife of a New ‘Tersey restaurateur, discovered a . burâ€" glar in her room the other night. Hailf an hour before she had put a box conâ€" taining some $1,200 in money and checks in the room, and, knowing that it was all they had in the world, she did not hesitate a moment, but \ jumped . for him, and at the same ‘moment raised. ‘an outery. He. struck her savagely. in the face, but she clung 40 him â€" with desperation. They ‘struggled along the hallway to the top of the stair, and his threat to throw her down only made ber catch a fresh hold. Down stairs they went with a . crash, but when the Tloor of the hall was reached Mrs. Colligan had still a fairly good rip of the burglar.. At length her the noise and arrived on the scene. The plucky little woman told him â€" to call the police while she held her capâ€" l&e. In a few minutes the fellow was in ‘charge. He proved to be an old conâ€" There was a gT engraved silverwar tury ago.

" P9 e en t 0 Nt t in oo iy en ty ne t s Repousse work in silverware is" that made familiar by the occasional exhiâ€" hition of costly pieces in the windows of jawellers. Some admirable. work of the kind is done, and the skilled craftsâ€" man in this art is highly paid. A single piece of. moderate size often requires many weeks‘ work. There has been of late a revulsion from. the over ornate chasing on res pousse work, and. some absolutely unâ€" decorated silverware is made now. This depends for its charm upon the nalurâ€" al beauty of the metal and the grace of form given to the vessels. The fi«‘xb- lem of giving grace to every piece of a large silver set is a difficult one. Of a par with this taste for undecorated ware of beautiful form is the demand for spoons modelled after those small, light, and graceful spoons of _ their grandmothers. They are a relief to the hands after the beavy silverware of the last few years. A single apostle spoon seems to contain enough metal to make several of those pretty, oldâ€"fashâ€" ioned spoons that have come down, thinâ€" ned but still beautiful, to a few persons of the present generation. Much plated ware is made in imitation of the ornate molid silver, but it is not the game of .wufn@tu_v{n'or plated ware to imiâ€" tate the lightness and severity of the oldâ€"fashioned spoons tve. n n i on uen onlicaiiie iqch?.
