SuulnVhair.

Sunnyhair is one of the happiest little
maidens in the world She lives on a
farm, and her playmates are chickens,
and lambs, and baby-pigs, calves, colts,
horses and COWS.
| On rainy days, the barn is her play
house. A grand one it is, with great
wide doors at either end, and sweet with
new-mown hay, and musical with the
twittor and chirp Of countless swallows.
that build their queer nests high up
among the rafters, and dart in and out
all day long. -...ss.3 ".s
When Sunnyhair run across the yard
and in at this great door, the COWS 'moo'
in welcome to her; the hens cluck, as if
to tell her where to find their pretty
white eggs; the cocks flap their wings
and crow; while cold Frank" her chief
pet, turns his head to look at her, and
quite forgets his oats, in Joy that she has
come!
cold Frank" is white horse that
for many years did faithful service at
the pillow, and now takes his rest in his
comfortable stall, and for exercise trots
up and down the road with his little
mistress on his back.
No harder work is required for him,
and indeed this is not work 1t must
seem only like play to him, and | do be-
lieve he enjoys the sport as much as
Sunnyhair herself.
When the mornings are cold, she puts
the chickens on old Franks back to
"warm their feet"
He never makes the slightest objection
to anything she does, no matter how
queer it may seem to us.

Her face is as fair as lily, her eyes
are blue, and her hair falls over her
shoulders like white cloud.

Pills and Teeth.

One thing that strikes the visitor to
the American section is the wonderful
display of pills. wonder what the
French thinks of us when passing
through our main passage. They see bot
ties upon bottles filled with those sug-
gestive and attempting white pills. AS
sugar coated and as compressed as they
may be, no one, l take it, feels disposed
to linger and contemplate those little
white balls without the suggestion of a
gripping in his anatomy where a good
dinner would be more at ease. Fancy
the remarks of the unsophisticated
Frenchman passing these avalanches of
pills. He naturally thinks that ours
must be very unhealthy country, and
should he ever have dreamed of going
over to settle with us, these pills will
purge him of the idea forever. l see in
this display direct attempt to discour-
age emigration, and | would call the
attention of the authorities in the treas
ury department to investigate the
matter. Let us follow now our disguised
Frenchman from this painful subject.
A few steps beyond he is met with such
a jawing as he probably never had in his
life, not even excepting that he gets
from his wife now and then, as is the
case in all we'll regulated families. Jaws
full of teeth; jaws at full cape, half cape
and closed jaws: read y-made and SO in
viting that whether stirring emotions the
pills had failed to create in his bosom,
those teeth crashing at him completely
used him up. 1t is amusing, but sad,
however, to watch the countenanees Of
ladies passing those endless rows Of
teeth. The EXPLANATIONS and looks of
disgust are as varied as the passers by

in Ward No. 5. On paying for the job
the employer paid off Nose, for that was

found out that they were only worth
twenty cents. Nose was very much
hurt about it. "Jest to think of Colonel

Stray Thoughts About Women.

He who has good wife can bear any
evil.
When " hen Time spares beauty he com-
petes it..
A faithful swain wcds earl y; a prudent
one, never.
Wit makes it easy to grow old, but not
impossible.
A woman would sooner rule heart
than fill it; not so man.
Friendship between women is only sus-
pension of hostiltes.
Love is the dawn of marriage; matri-
mony is the sunset of love.
A woman need not always recall her
age, but she should never forget it.
A woman listens to a play with her
mind and judges it with her senses.
The best and worst thing that can be
said about marriage is that it is a tie.
1t takes as much wit not to displease
woman as to please her.
A woman's friendship is, as rule, the
legacy OF love or the aims of Indifference.
In matters of the heart it is usually
the fear of insolvency that leads to bank
ruptcy.
1t is surprising how near age brings a
woman to death, and how little it pre-
pares her for it.
1t wasn't until the youth stabbed his
girl that she found out that she really
loved him.
The woman who confides to one man
her partiality for another seeks advice
less than an avOwal.
We are always anxious to know why
we are loved; they only care to know
how much we love them.
1t takes Il woman less time to get over
her own misfortunes than to be rec
onci!ed to her neighbor's good fortune,
Marriage is an evil, a bitter sweet chain :.
There are women with whom penitence
stands for epentance-women with
whom wearing mourning dispenses with
feeling sorrow.
In church women think they receive
because they observe, and they are medi-
tating when they are only holding their
tongues.
A witty woman finds it difficult upon
occasion to be dull like everybody else,
and so usually contrives to be stupider
than anybody else Translated from " Lo
Tie Parisenne."

CUrOtSitieS of Etiquette.

The rules of etiquette are as old as
society and as varied as are the races Of
people who inhabit the earth. As a
rule, probably, it may be safely set down
that the ruder the people the more abso-
lutte are the codes of manners. The
punctilious etiquette observed in Spain,
where woman dares not sit with her
legs crossed, and where a monarch
hardly feels at liberty to put on his shirt
without the permission of the Chamber
lain, has long been the wonder of less
formal people. It is not so very many
years since Spanish ladies were not
allowed to eat at the same table with
their husbands But this fine breeding
is outdone by the Bull garians. The
newly-married wife in Bulgaria dares
not speak to her husband for month or
more. The prohibition used to last nine
months. She is relieved from the obi
CATION of silence when her lord presents
her with gift. Among the Caffres of
South Africa the women are not allowed
to mention the name of their father-in-
law. and they must hide themselves
when they meet their sons-in-law. This
delicacy about calling names-is extended
to the parliamentary practice OF civil
lied peoples. In the legislature it is the
height Of improperly to call an honor
able member by his rightnam although
the custom is found to be very con-
venient one in ordinary life. In New
Caledonia the names of natural objects
are given to children; but if the child
dies the relatives must no longer call the
natural object by its former name; A
new appellation has to be invented for
use in that particular family. The Gus
tom gives a remarkable variety to the
New Caledonian dialect, and tasks the
invention of parents who are 50 unfor-
tunate as to lose their offspring. On
"tabu days" in the South Sea Islands,
any one who makes a noise must die.
This regulation is as bad as any of the
Connecticut blue laws. But there is
hardly any form Of etiquette that has
survived to do duty in polite society but
has its origin in some of the grosser
observances of antiquity.
