How THEY DO IN MArNE.-Quaker young
ladies n.the Maine Liquor Law State still con-
tinue to kiss the lips of the young men they
suspect of having been tampering with liquor.
just imagine beautiful young temperance
woman, with all the dignity Of an executive
officer, and the innocence Of a. dove, with tie
charge Mr., the ladies believe you
in the habit of tampering with lqor, and
they appoint me to examine you according to
our established rules Are you willing ?"
You nod acquiescence. She gently steps
closer to you, lays her soft, white arm around
your neck, dashes back her raven curls, raises
her sylph-ike form upon tip-toes, her snowy,
heaving bosom against yeur own, and with
her angelic features lit up with q smile as
sweet as heaven, places her rich, rosy, pouty,
sweet as peach-pudding, apple-dumpling,
gingerbread, nectar lips against yours, and
70, Jerusalem, hold US y kisses you, by crack
ey! Hurrah for the gals and the Maine law,
and death to all opposition.

THE HUNGARIAN HUssAR AND HIS HORSE.
-Speaking of the excellence of the Hunga-
ran Hussars, correspondent says that the
perfection of the machine" arises from the
singular attachment between man and beast,
which makes the former almost ready to
starve himself to keep the other in condition,
and makes the latter never show fatigue
while he bears the beloved master. Old
Radetski. in Italy, once addressed Hunga.
rian regiment rather famous for too much
freedom in their foraging. "If,' said the
venerable hero, "any man steals for himself
or for his horse, shall have him hanged by
the neck !" A soldier advanced his horse a
pace to the front, and saluting, said to the
astonisbed Marshal, May / speak, sir ?''-

swear that I'd steal every hair that grew
there" & Put that man under arrest" said
the old warrior aloud to the Colonel of the
regiment, who was on horseback at his side;

FARMERS WIvEs.-The following advice to
farmers is published in the Old Farmers
Almanac of 1896:
'' Husbands, be mindful of your wives
Dutiful wives need watching as much as any.
Not because they are liable to all sorts OF
improprieties which characterize miserable
or Indifferent wives. but because they have
frequently one fault. which works their ruin.
They are liable to work too hard. Women
are impulsive. Whatever their hearts lead
them to do. they do with all their might,
and without knowing it, many work them
selves to death. Perhaps your farm is mort
gagged. Your wife is quite as anxious about
the debt as yourself, and is willing to work
early and late, and to endure privations
from which you would shrink again and
again. If you are not mindful she will one
day fall in the midst of her work, like an
over-spirited horse that has just been driven
to death. Study to ease her burden. Above
all things don't underrate a woman's work.
Make every arrangement about the house as
convenient as possible. In short, you must
take care of her, for she will not take care of

EXTRAORDINARY DOMESTIC TRADITION
TIE following extraordinary domestic tra-
dilion is extracted from new book which is
much talked of in Europe" The Duke of
Alba" The brother.in- of Napoleon
Ill, is a short. little man who has something
icy about his whole manner. Small and
weak, his face displays an alabaster hue,
which gives him a CHASTITY aspect. In Spain
the report is current that the Duke was
buried before he was born. When his moth
er was enciente with him. she was taken so
desperately i'll that all the attempts to restore
her remained fruitless The Duchess died
far from Madrid. at a chateau which had
always been her favorite residence She was
buried in the family vault and, as it is the
custom OF the Spanish nobili y, several val
uables, among others her rings, were put
into the cuffin. The treasures which had
been left to oblivion with the dead aroused the
cupidity of some rufians they broke into
the vault on the night following the funeral,
robbed the dead woman. and would not leave
the coffin till they had plucked a flashing
diamond from the finger of the corpse. The
diamond was on the little finger, and would
not come off. This gave the body snatchers
the truly cannibal idea of cutting the finger
The pain aroused the apparently dead wo-
man she came to her senses, sat up IN the
coffin. and. by her unexpected wakening, put
the robbers to flight. When they departed
they forgot to close the vault. The Duchess
found sufficient strength to quit her cofhn
and return to her chateau, where she was at
first taken for ghost, and priest called in
TO exercise it, but as he was unable to Danish
the spectre, the people in the chateau grad
ualIy began to believe in her corporal exis
tence. The Duchess recovered, and gave
birth to a boy. who has never lost the deadly
pallor which he brought into the world viii
him.
