THINGS WOMAN CAN'T Do.-A lady
writer, who is slightly disposed to turn trai-
tor to her sex, states that there are three
things woman can't do-the most impor-
tant admission that has been extorted from
her sex since Madame Eve ate the apple.
Hear the following open confession:
First, she can't sharpen a lead pencil.
Give her one and see. Mark how jaggedly
she hacks away every particle of wood a:
round the lead, leaving an unsupported
spike of the latter, which breaks immedi-
atcly when used. You can almost forgive
the male creature his compassionate con-
tempt as, chucking her under the chin, he
twitches it from her awkward little paw, and
rounds and tapers it in the most ravishing
manner, for durable use. wish to hear nc
more on that point, because when 1 once
make up my mind call the Kings men
can't change it.
Well, then, secondly-a woman can't dc
up a bundle. She takes whole newspa
per to do up a paper of pins, and coil Of
rope to tie it, and it will come undone al
that. When 60 shopping, l look on with
the fascinated gaze of a bird in the neigh
borhood of magnetic serpent, to watch
clerks do up bundles. How the paper falls
just into the right crease, how deftly they
turn it over, and tuck it under, and tie II
up, and then throw it down upon the coun
ter as if they had done the most common
thing in the world, instead of a deed which
might, and in faith does, task the ingenuity
of 'sangels!" 1t is perfectly astonishing.
Thirdly-I may allude to the fact that 6
woman can't carry an umbrella, or rather tt
the very peculiar manner in which they
perform that duty; but I won't. Wher
they unfurl the parachute alluded to, they
put it down over their noses, take the mid
die of the sidewalk, raking off mems hats
and women's bonnets as they 60, and walk
ing right into the breakfast of some wight
with that disregard of the consequent dis
gust, which to be understood must be felt
as the offender cocks up one corner of tht
parachute and looks deGantly at the victim
who has the effrontery to come into tht
world and hazard the whalebone and handle
of her ssumbrilll p

A KISS BEFORE PARTING.

The following incident is said to have
recently caused some amusement in tn
London fashionable circles:
A lady of distinction, the Marchioness
of Finsbury, lately spent more than ar
hour in music store in Regent street
buying all the pieces of music with senti
mental title that she could find. When she
had finished her purchases, and was al
ready on the threshold of the door, she
paused moment with hesitating air..
The clerk, who had assiduously waited on
so good a customer, stepped forward and
asked her if she wished for anything else
The marchioness made an effort to collect
her thoughts, and turned back, fixing her
beautiful eyes on the face of the clerk, who
blushed to the ears. .. 49,
81 had quite forgotten one thing" said
she, in voice that seemed tremulous. 81
don't know what is the matter with me to.
day. I came back to ask you if"
She made short pause, as if to summon
up her courage. Meanwhile the clerk,
pulling up his false collar, leaned graceful
ly on the counter and bent forward,
II came back" continued the marchio-
ness, Ito ask if you would be good enough
to give me kiss before parta'gs"
"My LADY," exclaimed the astonished
clerk. .... .... ...
81 desire that you should give me kiss
before parting," repeated the marchioness,
with deliberate air, fixing her eyes on the
clerk, who seemed turned into stone. With
out betraying the least emotion she repeat
ed the request for the third time, saying,
eff you cannot give it to me to-day | will
call some other time"
The clerk, intoxicated with joy at the
hasty thought that the eautifulmarchioness
had taken sudden fancy for him, did not
wait for any further entreaties, but, spring
ing over the counter, threw his arms around
the waist of his fair customer, and impres,
sed the asked-for kiss upon her cheek. To
his surprise his sole response was blow in
the face from the parasol of the marchion.
ess, who began to shrek wildly, and did
not cease until three policemen rushed into
the shop and took the wondering clerk into
custody. The affair was explained the next
day in Court, where the magistrate at once
set the unfortunate culprit at liberty on
learning that "a KISS Before Parting
was the name of fashionable song, the
existence of which till then was wholly un.
known to him.
