Scratching the Head.-.Whnt n

ANAOSAuAOs iste
According to H. De Toul, editor of the Haute
loire, scratching ones head is an art. He pub.
fishes in the last number Of his paper an article
commencing with this new aphorism "Show
me how you scratch your head, and will tell
you who you are. II knew humorist who often
exclaimed that the art of scratching ones head
was now.a-days one Of the lost arts, and who said
that Chamfort wrote somewhere that he had
never thought very highly Of the well,povdeYed
men who never touch their heads. DIN fact,
mans faculty for thinking has given rise to the
necessity Of scratching ones head whenever one
wants to imagine, something.. This utilization,
produced by lfght mia CARELESS hand, close to
the brains, 'aroases the. sleey mind. Hence, Che
man whoturns his Imagination to account should
sften scratch his head in order 10 renew the our
rentof his ideas. The Ounce who would Ike 70
be taken for . very sharp fellow generally
scratches his ears very often without growing
the brighter for it.s As for the ladies they stu
diousy try to render their attitudes 90 graceful,
and are SO much occupied with the desire to
plesse; a. to never disarrapgs the harmony Of
their head dresses ladies lave something else to
do than to think Of drawing their hand olumaily
ovor their head. For the mind Of women,
which has its seat in their heart does not prompt
them 10 initiate the disagreeable motisns Of the
monkey--the animal which scratches itself best"

Ths MAN that Kissed the rhree Girls.

s A young man who boarded at house
in the country where were several GOV
damsals who seemed to imagine that men
are terrible creatures whom it was an un-
pardonabie sin to look at, was one forenoon
accosted by an acquaintance, and asked
what he thonght of the young ladies with
whom he boarded? He replied that they
were very shy and reserved
$50 they are," returned the other.
s''and so much so that no gentleman could
ever get near enough to tell the color of
their eyes 2 4 tM
''That may be" said the boarder quick
ly, ''but will stake million that can
kiss all three without any trouble"
"That you cannot do,n cried his friend
sit is an achievement which neither you
nor any other man can accomplish"
The other was positive, and invited his
friend to witness his triumph. They en-
tered the room together, and the three
girls were at home sitting beside their
mother, looking as prim and demure as
John Rogers at the stake.
Our hero assumed very grave aspect
even to detection, and having looked visit
fully at the clock, breathed sigh as deep
as algebra and as long as female dia-
logue at street door. His singular de-
pertinent now attracted the attention of
the girls. who cast their slow opening eyes
upwards to his countenance. Perceiying
the impression he had made, he turned to
his companion and said, in doleful voice:
1t wants three minutes of the time"
.sDo You speak of dinner" said the old
lady, laying down her sewing work.
Dinner p said he, with a bewiIdered
aspect. and pointing as if uneonsciously,
with curled finger at the clock. A silence
ensued during which the female portion of
the household glared at the young man
with irrepressible curiosity.
''You will see me decently inferred I"
he said, turning to his friend. ~
His friend was much puzzled as any
one present, and his embarrassment added
to the effect; but the old lady being no
longer able to contain herself, cried
Mr.. c., pray what do you speak of ?''
Nothing" answered he, in q lugubri-
GUS tone, '.but that last night a spirit ap-
.peared unto mel' Here the girls rose to
their feet and drew near. "And the spir-
it gave warning that / should die exactly
at twelve o'clock to-day, and you see i
wants but half minute of that time"
The girls turned pale, their hidden sym.
pathies were at once awakened for the
doomed and departing one. They stood
chained TO the spot, looking alternately q
tBe clock. and the unfortunate youth; b,
then walked up to the Oldest of the three
girls, and tailag her hand. bade her
solemn farewell, lie also imprinted a kis
upon her lips, which she did not attemp
to resist. He then babe the second an,

His object was achieved and at that mo
