The American Girl's Beau.

The American girl is left wholly to
her own guardianship. She has half q
dozen intimates among the young fel.
lows of her set; she corresponds with
them, accompanies them to concerts and
the opera unchaperoned, and sometimes
winds up the evening by a supper at a
restaurant which ends in the small
hours. They are not ostensibly lovers
they are friends, bons can,arades.
She finds the half-friendly, half-pas-
sionate intercourse more Intoxicating
than love-making. She opens the
depths of her innocent heart to the vul-
gar prying eyes; the favored intimate
becomes an ha6it,te of the house.. In a
few months, perhaps weeks, he knows
more of the secret feelings, desires,
aims of the girl, than her sister or broth
or, or the mother who bore her. He
treats her personally with liberty
which is graduated by her individual
character. But it is inevitably liberty.
The girl as inevitably ends by loving
him; the more unworldly, the more pure
she is, the more likely is she to mistake
his course as honorable. In the mean
while, the man has not the slightestidea
OF marrying her; a very small minority
OF young men are in a marrying mood in
these hard times; he has just as little
idea of dishonoring or even injuring her
in public esteem, but he accepts the in
timacy or friendship of a young girl as
one of the good things which society
offers him; he would be a dull fool If
when lovely That's is left to sit beside
him he did not take the goods the gods
provide him. Meanwhile American So
ciety rules that the father and mother of
the girl shall remain perfectly passive.
The man may be the most desirable or
unsuitable husband for their daughter,
but they have no right to interfere until
he formally proposes. If they should
"ask his Intentions" according to the
rational custom of our forefathers, the
girl herself would be the first to rebel
on the ground that she was made rilicu-
lous, and that her "friend" was mis-
taken for her lover. When the friend
betakes himself to fresh fields, the woman
controls her disappointment as she can,
and marries somebody for an establish
ment or home; or finds her pain too
sharp to bear, and there is murder or
a suicide, and the usual chatter of in

Ruled Out.

In an assault and battery case tried
before Detroit justice of the peace, q
witness for the prosecution swore that
he saw the assault. He was standing
two blocks off, he admitted, when he
saw the defendant throw crowbar clear
across the street and hit plaintiff.
"Wasn't that big throw2" asked the
lawyer. Wasn't it gigantic feat for
small man to throw a bar of iron weigh
ing twenty pounds across the street and
hit another man?"
"But he was mad"
"Well."
"But he was mighty mad"
"Wel."
"And I believe" continued the wit
ness, that if he had been'a little mad
der that crowbar would have missed the
plaintiff and gone over the house and
killed horse el'
The jury didn't take that mans evi-
dence into consideration when making

Earth's Sentinels.

We are sentiuels all, on the hills OF time
In every station and every Cline
In luttering youth and in manhood's prime
Even old age,
With it's scribbled page
Watching for something without it's cage!
Watching the sun with it's golden glow;
Watching the shadows that come and go;
Watching the tide in its ebb and flow;
Wand'ring the while
Over many mile
Or mystic waste, with frown or smile.
Watching the birds as they fit away;
Watching the curtains Of closing day,
Golden and crimson, around us play;
Wond'ring how much
or the bright and gay
or life will fade at the lightest touch.
Watching tho clouds as they steal along
Watching the singers, whose plaintive song
Murmurs the arches Of life among;
Wondring, perohanoe,
II in Jete or dance,
These singers oxultei when they were young.
Watching the ladder that swings to fame,
Watching with torment an humble name,
Meanced by foes with darS OF sha mel
Wishing the night,
With its somber light,
Drifted away from the aching sight!
Watching the crucible melt the gold:
Watching the silver within the mold,
Telling us sadly we're growing old;
Counting the years,
With their crowding fears,
Filled with their phantoms OF graves and biers
Watching for something-w know not what /!
Rooted and fixed to a marrow spot
Present and future mocking blot
Watching each day,
On life's crowded way,
Something, when found, will refuse to stay

One of the most extraordinary ampu.

and was performed on the right thigh Of
Johnson. Williams. which was 80 injured
by two pistol shots as to necessitate am
putation half way between the hip and
the knee. Hitherto it has been the prac-
tiee in amputating to leave two long flaps
OF flesh, which are sewed over the stump
to form cushion for the end OF the bone
The new method consists simply in max.
ing clean circular cut, fiat on the bone,
leaving no flaps. The wound heals by
granulation, and a -" handsome round,
heshy cushion is grown TO protect the
stump. The advantages claimed for this
new method are that it prevents all germ
poisoning beneath the sewed up flaps,
and also allows free escape Of pus. pre-
venting the formation OF sinuses Of pus
between the muscles. Mr.. Williams

to 60 around on crutches; and 1t is said
that it was only by means Of this new
method that his life was saved. On his leg
