HOBBIES.


Hobby horses are popular steeds.
One mans hobby is books which he
never reads. He spends his life, and
all his surperf1uous cash, in the collec-
ton OF volumes, of which he never
peruses more than the title pages.
His shelves are groaning beneath the
erudition of all ages and all countries.
He gloats over the possession of the
rarest works, and will travel from
one end of the kingdom to the other
for the mere chance of purchasing q
unique specimen to add to his collec-
ton. 1t would take him q century to
spell over what he has already amass-
ed but he never dreams of such q
thing. He reads the catalogue, the in
ventory of bis riches, and nothing
else; every addition to that is an adj
-dition to his satisfaction -hecanse it is
an additional grace to his hobby.
Another mans hobby is the collection
of autographs, and in his mad race he
allows himself to become the pest of
so called great men. Another glories
in pictures and is continually increas-
ing his store. He is never taken In !;
not he, he is too good judge for that
Is he? A third rides a musical hobby.
and goes merrily through the world
to the sound of fiddle and flute, and
French horn and double bass. His
whole life is one song, and when he
sinks into silence at last, it is with the
blessed hope of a joy full tld capO in the
land of celestial harmony.

THE MONEY THEY HAVE IN
FRANCE. go


The French sous or pennies, and
double sous, are made OF bronze, and
the quantity of them in circulation is
immense. Among the lower classes
it ls the principal circulating medium.
On the great fete days, when the price
of admission to the Exposition was
five sous, four wagon loads of this
bronze were sent to the Treasury next
day, weighing about six toms. The
passenger railway and omnibus con-
ducters receive nothing but bronze
money, and must have cart loads
brought in daily. Whi1st 5. this is the
case in Paris, it is even more extern
sively used in the country and the
smaller towns. The markets and
shop keepers conduct their business
largely. with bronze money. Gold is
more abundant than silver in the lar
ger branches of trade, aud government
notes are seldom seen of a smaller de-
nomination than one thousand. There
would seem to be no need here for
silver, as the gold five-franc and ten
and tweDty-franc pieces are abundant
and much more convenient and accept
able than silver money. The silver
denominations are those Of five francs
equal to our dollar, two francs, one
franc and a half franc, equal to our
dime. Silver will never be used here
except as a means of making change
in purchases, or anywhere else where
gold and redeemable paper are avail
able.-Balt. American.

THE SORT OF A GIRL TO GET.

The true girl has to be sought for.
She does not parade herself as show
goods. She is not fashionable. Cen
erslly, she is not rich. But, oh! what
a heart she has when you find her! so
large and pure and womanly. When
you see it you wouder if those showy
things outside were women. II you
gain her love your two thousand are
carriage or first class house. She'll
wear simple dresses, and turn them
when necessary, with no vulgar mag
nificat to frown upon her economy.
She'll keep everything neat and nice
in your sky-parlor, and give you such
a welcome when you come home that
you'll think your parlor higher than
ever. She'll entertain true friends on
a dollar, and astonish you with the
new thought how little happiness de-
pends on money. She'll make you
love home Gf you don't you're brute)
and teach you how to pity, while you
scorn a poor, fashionable society that
thinks itself rich, and vainly tries to
think itself happy. fz m

more, " acn't afford to marry" Go,
find the true woman, and you can.
