You accept my attentions gladly enough when there’s nobody else around "-â€" “Young men are scarce, it's too true,” she murmured. “And then you talk about me and laugh at me behind my back l” “ How do you know I do, Mr. Gil- ruth ?" “ No difi'erenoe how I know. Isn’t it true?” “ It must be. You wouldn’t make an intentional misstatement about a . thing like that.” " Seven ice creams last week!" he gronned. “With intermediate choco- lates. occasional sodas and roses right straight along 1” i “ Look, besides, at the daily changes ' :of neckties, the frequent and expensive :polishings of your shoes "â€" “ Oh, yes, it’s all very well for you.

Untold Sorrows. â€" BUT THE MAN WHO HAD THEM COULD ONLY UNBOSOM HIMSELF TO A GENTLEMAN. A belated citizen was humping him- self along Hoyt street at a late hour the other night when a figure appeared be- fore him, and a hoarse voice exclaimed: “ What I knows I knows, and I knows a gentleman when I meets one. When I seed you comin along I sez to myself, sez I, ‘Cully, that’s a gentleman, and you jest a’cost him and tell him yer sor- rers and troubles l’ ” “ Well, what is it ?" asked the belated. “ It would take me two long hours to tell you the story, sir,” he replied, “and ofcourse you haven't two hours to spare.” “ Oh, yes, I have," was the answer. “ This is my night off, and you can talk to me till daylight if you want to. Just go ahead and unbosom yourself.” " It you wanted to give me a nickle and cut it short, you could do so.” “ But I don't. I want you to begin from the time you were two years old and tell me all that’s happened. I shall not mind ten cents after the entertain- ment. Let’s get a doorway somewhere, where we won’t be interrupted." “ What ar' ye givin me ?" asked the stranger as he hung back. “Straight goods, sir. Your soul is bowed down with woe and grief and trouble. Tell me all and let me sym- pathize." “ I'll be hanged if I do." “ But why ?" “ Because, sir, as I saw you comin along I sea to myself, sea I, ‘ Gully, that chap's no gentleman, but a bloke, and don't you go for to a‘cost him and hurt your own character.’ That’s what ‘ I says, sir.

In Yorkshire, Eng., a new-born babe is placed in a maiden’s arms before being touched by .anyone else, in order to insure good luck. In South America a book, a piece of money and a bottle of liquor are placed before the infant the day it is one year old, to ascertain its bent in life. A baby is considered lucky in Sect- land if it handles a spoon with its left hand, and it will be perfectly happy and successful if it has a number of falls before its first birthday. In the North of England, when a child is taken from a house for the first time, it is given an egg, some salt and a small loaf of bread, and occasionally a piece of money, to insure it against coming to want. In Germany it is considered necessary that a child should “go up ” before it goes down in the world, so it is carried upstairs as soon as born. In case there is no upstairs, the nurse mounts a table or chair with the infant. SOCIETIES. 1 NIGHTS OF TENTRD MACCABEEB FARM IMPLEM ENTS. Headquarters at the Iron Warehouse.

One sent to the Marquis of Canterbury in the year 1891, which is still living and is believed to be somewhere near 10 years of age, is only 22 inches high and weighs but 109% pounds. In Cey- lon they are used for quick trips across the country with express matter and pther flight loads, and it is said that ’ our 0 t cm can ull a driver of a two wheeled cart andpa 200 pound load of T miscellaneous matter 60 to 70 miles a day. They keep up a constant swing- ing trot or run, and have been known to travel 100 miles in a day and night without either food or water.
