I The arbiters of fashion have issued a I new decree within the past few days fur 1 which, strange to say, there is h very apinrent reason. They have declared against the lif tiny of tlie hat when salut- - iug a lady on the street, and also against salutations have grown go weighty witu years as to Ihj worse than absurd. This is particularly true iu Sweden, where the simple function of taking oil" the hat to a friend has acquired so many twists, waves and other elaborate, flourishes that, as in America, a strong effort is being put forth toabolish the custom. A society has been formed with this object in view, having a guttural name of nine syllables, which may by translated "The associa-tion," and in Bavaria ami Suubhi a sim-ilar movement is in progress. After the wild nations, to whom we must (rive tin; palm of eccentricity for their methods of "passing the time of day," the next most curious people in this regard are tho Chinese. They pivs-h-a code of salutation which is zeal-ously adhered to throughout nearly every part of the flowery kingdom. When a mandarin meets a mandarin, or a self respecting cooly another cooly for tho method of salutation differs in grace rather than in degree, according to the rank of the parties each man falls on his hands and knees uud bows his head to the earth several times in succi-s-sion- , taking care not to collide when they boh them up n;ain. The Marquis Tseng, who has been a contributor to The Revue des Dou.t Mondos, relates many carious and intimate facts relative to salutations and otlu r details of life among his countrymen whic h no trav-ol- er has been abb; to explain. Ho de-fends the exaggerated speech of the Chi-nese whoreverto our western minds it needs defense saying that much of tho poetry of life in Peldn or Shanghai is crown in the rich soil of everyday oolite- - Sill ness. It is for that reason, and not froir? aden'ro to flatter, that a Chinaman replies to one questioning him about himself: "I am very well, thanks to your abun-dant felicity." Again the Chinese of rank will pray that his interlocutor may live to see the fabled years of Coufucius; '111 Till' AMKHIOAN UKEETINQ. the uncovering of the head when riding in an elevator. It is claimed that tho removal of a silk tile is provocative of roughs, colds or neuralgia, and that per-fectly proper recognition can bo given a female friend by touching the hat with the index linger of tho right hand a custom, like the greatcoat, borrowed from the coachman. This "reform" nat-urally has brought under review the en-tire subject of salutations, and quite a controversy is now raging as to what is "good form" and "bad form." Americans have been called a hand-Bhakin- g people. This is a misnomer; they are a kissing people. Ridicule R3 they may the oscillatory salutation com-mon among the continental nations, they nevertheless in the long run kiss oftener . and more vehemently than any other people. It would take too long to go into all the details that must be exam-ined iu order to prove such a statement, but one very striking example "may le cited which shall give it a show of truth. I refer to the stage, which is supposed to hold the mirror up to life, and does so far enough for my parpone. In what i theatre of England, France or Germany yon find such frantic hugging, continuous "bussing" ns on the A Frenchman who kisses his his brother or his chum on the in a very effusive' way watches Swill horror a pair of American stage He has told her that he loves despite whatever obstacles intervene; has listened with eyes demurely cast but she murmurs an acceptance. is enough. Ho seizes her and she him, and they kiss, not once, but a score of times, full on the month. In this instance the stage rather diminishes I than exaggerates these lipping exercisi's. Most of our accepted lovers are gonr-- t mands, but not epicures. They exhaust the honey pot at one sitting. j MEET1NO OF CHISKSE FJtlENDS. not that ho believes in the possibility of t his good wish coming to pass, but he means to express in the statement his hope that all good things, honor first, may come to his fnond. Tho use of Salutations and compliments suited for every occasion is prescribed by Chinese etiquette with the same wearisome which one finds in all their modes of life. To become perfect in them a traveler would need to spend half of his life in their study and tho other half in their practice. By the time he was bald or deaf he would per-haps know where he must sit on enter-ing a house, how many bows he is to re-ceive, and whether he is to respond to a welcome with the left or with the right hand. Adventurers and explorers who have braved the dangers of uncivilized coun-tries have brought back to onr knowl-edge many singular habits of the wild j inhabitants, bnt whether the discover-ers lauded in New Zealand or the Pa-cific islands, or made their painful way into the interior of Africa, a family like-ness can be traced in all the habits of tho natives with one striking exception each wilil tribe or nation has its own peculiar mode of salutation, which is totally unlike that of its nearest neigh-bor or most distant fellow savages. Dr. Livingstone was woeived by the Batoka people, who live on the Zambesi river, by a score of naked representatives who rolled over in the sand, clapping their thighs vigorously and shouting at the top of their lungs a gibberish of wel- - come. And the first white man to visit the chief of theNuehrs bad to extend his hand in order that all the big men of the tribe might, spit in it. So do tho various forms of the barbaric welcome differ, but it is hardly too much to affirm that tho Esquimaux, those friends of ours who persist in living near the north pole, without trying to find it, practice the most curious salutation. When two Esoniinaux come together 'Vlfil litlfl 1 O THK OLD FASHIONKD GFRMAN STYLE. In Franco they sing a different chan-son. At the Comedie the jeune premier, as soon as the ingenue has coyly wliis-- pered "speak to papa," although faint- - ing with delight presumably, manages to restrain himself, and carrying her hand gently to his lips he leaves a light kiss upon it. In other salutations we have the ad- - '!-- ,, vantage of our Gallic and even of our British friends as to propriety awl good taste. A man and a woman who are good friends, even comrades, are content to show their pleasure at meeting in so-ciety by a warm pressure of tho hand, and in public, instead of the curt cava-lier nod of the English gentleman to his hunting neighlsir, and tho pronounced bow, almos t genuflection, anil elaborate ,, concerted action of hat, hands and entire body of monsieur to madame, we see on the street the graceful, easy bow of the lady and the lifted hat of the gentleman. Both have found means to express deco-rously their respect for each other and for themselves. Having thus made peace with my countrymen I may go on with their ap-proval to hiugh at the queer salutations In vogtie among other fellow mortals. But these habits have more than vogue; tlvy are imbedded in tradition, and they aro bred in the bone of peoples. I was taken aback the other day when saying godsjiecd to a friend of German ex-traction who was leaving for home on the Lahn. He had lived for many years in society and business in this country until he had acquired an American sur-face that made him almost typical. In thought, in action as in dress, ho teemed like one of ourselves. But this was only veneer. The 1'H had rung to order vis-itors ashore, and we wore about to j'vn hands for the last farewijl when sudden-ly he threw himself into my arms and kissed me with a h md, resounding smack on both cheeks, The iripnlse of affeo turn was stronger than acquired In similar cases much can ' be excused these effusive human lieings, but often in Germany and' among the "to German nations the customary THK S.VM.TE OF TI1F.

Those who im-agine that literary ladies go in rag-tugs- , with nixKi iupt hair, blue stockings and downtrodden flippers, ought to have been at a Press club reception that was given.by Mrs. MaryK.

Sirs. Bryan wore a white lace dress nmdo over white silk, plain, niidraped skirt with a wido white moire Basil. Tho waist was high in the neck, with a low lining. She looked elegant and was tastefully dressed. Mrs. Frank Leslie wore a black and white failly, with panels and cascades of Chantilly point, and fine cut jet fringe. She wore black gloves reaching to tho elbow. A triple necklace of fine pearls encircled her pretty neck, und she car-ried a black and white lace fan. Mrs. Llla Dietz Clymer, president of Sorosis, wore a rich toilet of Chandron velvet trimmed with novelty silk in cream, bine and gold, with bauds of beaver fur all around tho neck and pan-els. It was made with a train. Mrs. Clymer is very tall and graceful, ns well as handsome, and she has as gracious p.nd sweet a manner as if she had never written a single poem. Mrs. Anna Randall Diehl wore a gown of gro grain dark green silk, with a train. The front was of Cheney silk, in largo indiHtinct figures of subdued col-ors. Mrs. Lee C. Harby'a lovely daughter was there, and wore a white ottoman bilk trimmed with lace and moire rib-bons. The waist was of silk, with one side drajied with the lace. The Bkirt, which had a demi-trai- had two side panels, each made of full cascades of soft lace. There was another lady, whose name I did not learn, who wore a golden brown surnli dress striped with dark brown velvet, mid with sleeves, corsage and back breadths of brown velvet to match tho stripes. The drapery across the bust was arranged in a novel and effective manner. Mrs. Emma MofTett Tyng wore a fawn colored ladies' cloth and brown ottoman silk costume, walking length. Her round, dimpled face is very pretty and looked doubly bo in this dress. The dress was made with ft basquo of the cloth trimmed with the ottoman bilk, and tho skirt had simple wrinkled drapery slashed in two places and opening over a very deep flounce of ottoman silk. Mrs. Edmund Russell wore a coral colored surah silk, with loose drapery hanging from the neck to the bottom, botli front and back, held in place in front by cords made of coral beads and with handsome coral balls at the ends. .iGSSto 4fWf tm m P ) GUF.F.N FAII.I.K AM) TROWS StTftAH DRESS, The neck was half high and bordered j all around with very scratchy looking branched coral, ami three enormous but- - tons covered with coral 'beads held the front draperies at the bust.

Mrs. Russell said poutingly to pretty little Mrs. Robert Burton, who, in dark blue velvet gown made plainly but very tastefully, sat quietly by: "Do you know I went to bed sick yesterday after read-ing one of the newspapers. They said I am not pretty. What would you have done in my placeV" "1 should send the editor my photo-graph." was the witty reply. Tiiere was much said worthy of note and many other pretty dresses to but enough has been said to show that literary women do know how to aress well. OUVE liAKi'fclt. NO CAUSE FOR "ALARM.

This Ceylon disease bus been known since lsi;i, when a fungus appeared upon tho leaves for which no remedy has found; butsieither in the quality nor the amount of coffee produced can this misfortune to one locality possibly affect the general sup- - ply.

Iu Brazil alone no fewer than sixteen species are distinguished as growing in a wild state. The limit of productiveness is about thirty years, but the trees are replaced on the plantations every twenty years. This process of replanting goes on con-stantly, tho trees being raised from seeds in the nurseries and transferred to their final posit ions when about a year or eight-een months old. They are usually set. ut intervals of eight or ten feet, and begin bearing at the age of four years, their prod-uct annually increasing. When aliout eight feet high the tops arc cut off, which causes t hem to spread instead of growing taller. The average diameter of the trunk in full bearing trees Is about the size of a man's wrist. The leaves are of dark green nud glossy, and the fruit forms on the woody stems at the base of these leaves. When ripe the berry is red iu color, resem-bling a large critnlierry or medium sized cherry. Dissected it is seen to consist of live different parts covering the two beans, which lie face to face. First is the outer skin, second a soft pulp, third a glutinous substanco saccharine in character, fourth an envelope, called by some the parchment, and somewhat thicker than the husk of wheat, and finally a thin, gossamer liko film resembling t he thin skin which covers the white oniou and designated "silver tkin." Picking begins in Java in January and lasts three or four months. In Brazil they commence gathering in April or May, and continue until September. Women and children are largely engaged in gathering the fruit, carrying it from the field in baskets to tho mill house or terrace, where the preparation of the berry for market be- - gins. Mr. Tliurber says: 'There is no item which enters into the supply of our table, unless it be butter, which is so easily in- - ' jured in flavor as coffee, or which exhibits such a tendency to absorb surrounding odors. Vessels from South or Central America often arrive with mixed cargoes of coffee and hides, in which the former has been almost ruined hy absorbing the smell of the latter. Roasting in a measure dissipates the 'bidey' smell, jet to an ex-pert it is very perceptible, enough remain-ing to destroy the delicate flavor of tho volatile oil or caffeine." cozy coRNF.r,, old coffke hoi sk. lait in the morning, his demi-tass- e or black coffee at dinner to assist bis digestion, and after the theatre meets his friends to enjoy his smoke and bumper of wine.
