There is a good deal of discussion over the fact that many. women do not marrfJ 'An fact one Wégld almost imagine that. it is only the men who marry now-a-days. There is a rea- son for it, of course, and there seems to he ah effort on the part of many to find it out. Some say it is because “The modern woman doesnt marry because the right man doesn't ask her. Women to-day are just as anxious to be married as their grandmothers were; sensible, honest women are liv- ing to-day and the man wno wants to lmarry one of them can do tso-but they pr" not looking for that kind of wo- ‘man.

When a man chooses a sweet- ArtPe.5tese, she wears Head swell' melodies. and then falls to lamenting over the cupidity of woman when that ishme girl asks him what his revenue l is before she decides about loving him the is not quite as logical as he might I be. Now is he, really? ', "Any woman worth marrying Will marry the man she loves even if he she is “too vain," others that she is"lou extravagant," "too mercenary," "km modern." However, Winifred Black throWs a few interesting side lights on the subject. many of which show the color of truth. She says: "Any woman worth marrying Win marry the man she loves even if he can't. scrape up money enough to pay the minister. She may not be happy with him after she marries him, but it will not be his poverty that makes her miserable. The great law of na- tural selection holds it sway with the just as well as with the unjust. You can't educate the human nature out of a woman, any more than you can re- fine it out of a man. "A master of the ecience of econom- ins will' elope with an extravagant creature just as quickly as a proud, high-tempered woman will mysteri- ousirfall in love with a stupid no- body. Dan. Cupid, Rem, has gone out of fashion, but he isn't dead, not by any manner of means, and never will be.

Then another little girl said: "1 buried a satin shoe. What flow- er did it come up P' "A lady's slipper I" "A lady's slipper i” was the answer to that, and then the fun began in earnest, for nearly every one had thought of one by this time. One girl paid a nice compliment by saying, "I buried a pretty person. What tree did she cume up, and you mustn't guess this one. because its Yeyv.'l . , . ' Buried Cities" can also be played in this way, but the game is the nicest with flowers and trees.

"Parlor ball" is a lot of fun. Choose up sides and place an even number of players in a straight line, one either side of a piece of white tape which is stretched upon the floor. The play- ers on each side should be about an arm's length apart and about six feet back tum tho tape, than a toy bal- loon its tossed into the air, and after that it must not be let tall on the floor.

Should the air ball full it counts one against the party standing on the side of the tape on which it rests. Whichever side loses 20 first has lost the game, the other having won it. A BOYS ESSAY ON HORNETS. A hornet is the smartest bug that flies anywhere. He comes when he pleases, anu goes when he gets ready. One way a hornet shows his smartnesn is by attending to his own business, and making everybody who interferes with him wish they had done the same thing. When a hornet stings a teller he knows it, and never stops talking about it as long as his friends will listen to him. One day a hornet stung my pa, my pa is a preacher, on the nose, and he did not do any pastoral visu- ing for a month, without talking about the hornet. Another way a hornet shows his smartness is by not procragtinating. Another way a hornet shows his smartness is by not procrastinating. It he has any business with you he will. attenu to it at once, and then leave you to think it over to yourself. He don't do like the mosquito, who comes fooling around for halt an hour Singing. "Cousin, cousin," and when be has bled you all he can, dash away yelling. "No kin." A hornet never bleeds you; but if he sticks you, you will go off on a swell. I don't know anything more about hornets, only that Josh Billings Barr.
