An unsophisiicated magazine-writer
says: When a young girl reaches the
age Of fifteen or sixteen years, she be-
gins to think of the mysterious subject
of matrimony, a state, the delights of
which her youthful imagination shadows
forth in the most captivating FORMS"
If this writer were to sit down on the
curbstone and listen, just after school is
dismissed, he would not only hear girls
less than nine years Of age talking about
marriage, but he would actually hear
them discussing the day of the week
most auspicious for putting their absurd
little heads into the yoke. There never
was a time in the history Of the world
when well-conducted converts were so
necessary as now, and a very large pro-
portion Of all the female babies should
be put into them three weeks after birth.

The old game Of racket is now be-
ing revived in New York, which appears
likely to become more fashionable than
heretofore. A large number of the old
players have reunited and formed a club,
and negotiations are now pending to
erect a magnificent six.story building,
with handsomely furnished club-rooms
attached also a, gymnasium, fencing
and sparring rooms, bowling alleys, bath
rooms, etc, and on the top floor a run
ming track will be laid. 1t is to be com.

To be a doctor among the Indians ir-
wolves no little risk. At Inyo, Califor-
MIA, a short time ago, a medicine man
was stabbed and shot by oue Of his tribe
because of his failure to cure his third
patient; this fact, according to an old
Indian tradition, authorizes the nearest
relative Of the dead man to kill the ply
