Fattenins for Marriage.

A lady correspondent at Saratoga
says: met girl at Saratoga who told
me that she was trying to fatten herself
for bridal. The afianced husband was
an ardent admirer of plumpness, and she
was rather thin. The amount of oatmeal
and cream she consumed was marvellous,
and she lolled around all day long, re-
fusing to dance even, for fear of work
ing off an ounce of flesh. A month of
that kind of treatment increased her
weight nine pounds, but it didn't i'm
prove her appearance, to my mind, be-
cause she had fat, porky look in her
face, and her skin became bad from in
digestion. The wiser system commonly
adopted by afianced wives is a plain,
nourishing diet, plenty of exercise and
long, regular hours of sleep. These
brace her upin health, and an improved
appearance is the consequence.

Dietetic Influences.

We pay no attention to the philosophy
of eating, but please the palate alone.
We take no account of those silent sug.
gestions made by conspicuous national
foods and their allied mental character.
istics. We see no connection between
the rice of the Hindoo and his docile
disposition, between the oatmeal of the
Scotchman and his attachment to logic,
and between the potatoe of the Irishman
and his excitability of temperament. Not
that diet determines these characteris-
tics, but it is more or less potent factor
to their determination. And illustra-
tions that lie nearer home, the evanes-
cent illness of the gorged child, and the
indescribable sensations that sometimes
follow upon set dinner, are all lost up.
on us. We eat what we like. We drink
because we crave. The child is allowed
to have what it likes. The disliked por.
ton is rejected, and the innutritious
dainty put in its place. And this is
called feeding it. The desire is satisfied,
but the stomach groans under its bur.
den; the muscle derives no wholesome
susterance, and the nerve, pressed by
its impoverishment, utter its neuralgia

The Scared Professor,

There is no use of Disgusting the fact
that the boys who attend oiir colleges
are pretty tough cases on general princi-
pies. Not that they would commit
crimes, or do things that are particularly
dishonorable, but they are as full of the
old Nick as they can hold. You take the
best boy you can find in the public
schools, one who has had religious
training. and seems to have pious turn
of mind, and who is so good that all the
other boys think he is bookedfor heaven,
and send him off to college, end YOU
want I'd watch hitf1. The chances are
that he will come back with knowledge
of draw poker that will paralyze an old
gambler, and he will be sure 20 be a
leader in all the deyiltry that is going
on. An illustration of this was furnished
short time age In one Of our state
colleges devoted to turning out pioas
young men. The class in elocution was
furnished with a professor from a dis
tant city, who was very thorough in his
methods, but he didn't amount to any
thing at handling boys. He seemed to
look at them in the class room appeal
ingly, as much as to beg them not to
play any monkey work on him. The
boys saw he was afraid of them, and
they laid for him. They got into dis
cussion over the proper way to render
passage from the poem, "The Boy
Stood on the Burning Deck, when one
of the students called the other liar.
The professor held up his hands in hor-
ror, and begged them to be seated, when
the young man who had been called a
liar drew a revolver and shot at the
other student, who fell to the floor an
alleged corpse. The professor was wild,
and at this point the lights went out and
every student drew revolver and began
firing blank cartridges in the air. Some
were armed with putty balls and eggs,
and at each discharge something would
strike the professor, and he thought he
was full Of holes. A window was raised,
and by the light made by the exploding
cartridges a pair Of coat tails and legs
could be seen going out, and the pro-
fessor landed head first on some lilac
bushes They rushed to the window
and the poor man, bruised and bleeding.
and as scared as it was possible for
man to be, was running for dear life.
The next morning he took the train for
home, with black eye, and clothes
that looked as though something had
been scraped off of them, and the
faculty Of the college will not know what
has become of their profession Of elocu-
ton till they read this. The boys go
about their studies as though nothing
had happened, but they are trying to
think up some new deviltry. Boys will
be boys, and there is no way you can
prevent it, unless you break their backs.

DORES TRIAL.

''I do WISH" said Mrs. Prudence
Hall, holding her darning-needle in
mid-air for a moment over the coarse
blue sock she was mending, "I do wish
you could see your way clear 20 marry
ing Seth Hallet He wants you the
worst kind, and he'll be such good pro-
WIDER"
"But don't like him we'll enough,
Prudy; and / want something beside
meat and drink and two calico dresses a
year"
Mrs. Prudence Hall had sprained her
ankle, and was forced, sorely against
her will, to sit day after day in an upper
chamber, with a terrible Consciousness
that everything about the farm was re-
lapsing into chaos and old night for
want of her oversight. Her pretty sis
ter Dora had come to stay with her; but
she was "onlv child, you know. "
"There are two kinds of love in this
world, said Mrs. Hall, after pause, in
which she had been taking counsel with
herself whether Dora was old enough to
be talked to on such matters at all, and
1t flashed upon her that {" the child +" was
nearly 20 years old. "Perhaps you like
Seth well enough to marry him, only
you don't know it."

A New Engine of Destruction.

The number of young men who 60
about with their arms in a sling has
been noticed by all, and good deal OF
interest is attached to the different
excuses for their lameness. The fact Of
it is that the new nitro-glycerine belt,
which is sold to mothers for then
daughters, is the cause. There is q
small cartridge in the belt, to explode at
a certain temperature. 1t is perfectly
safe if let alone but if warm hand is
placed on the belt, or an arm, it begins
to warm up and finally it explodes. The
girl thinks it is some game the wretch is
trying to play upon her, and he thinks
she is loaded, and they separate, one go
ing one way and the other another way,
and they never speak to each other
again. The explosion gives the girl the
back ache, and the fellows arm is hurt
and the mother, whose object it is to
break up the match, is the only one who
has any fun. When you see young
man with his arm in sling, or his hand
done in cloth, or girl with pour
GUS plaster on her back you can make
up your mind that the old lady has been
setting her spring gun.

10 Husbands.

Always complain of being tired, and
remember that nobody else gets tired.
Your wife should have everything in
readiness for you, but you should not dc
anything for her.
When your wife asks for money, give
her nickle; ask her what she wants
with it, and when she tells you, ask hel
if she can't do withoutit. Then go down
town and spend ten times the amount
for cigars, for they are necessity.
Go down town of an evening. stanc
around on the street corner and talk pol.
tiles; its more interesting than to stay
at home with your family.
Charge your wife not to gossip. bul
you can spin all the yarns you wish.
Have your wife get up and make fires,
but don't get up yourself till the rest of
the family are eating breakfast, as yo,
might take cold.
Wear old clothes, and make yourself
as untfdy as possible until your wife's
health fails, then it would be best for
you to fix up some, for in all probability
you will want another when she is gone

A WOnaan'S Wit.

A woman's advice is generally worth
having; so, if you are IN any trouble,
tell your mother or your wife or YOU
sister all about it. Be assured that light
will fash upon your darkness. Women
are too commonly judged verdant in all
but purely womanish affairs. Nophilo-
sophical students of the sex thus iudg
them. Their intuitions or insight are
most subtle, and if they can not see q
cat in the meal there is no cat there. ]
advise man to keep none of h affairs
from his wife. Many home has been
saved and many fortune retrieved by
mans confidence in his wife. Woman
is far more a seer and prophet than
man, if she be given fair chance. As
a general rule the wives confide the mi
nutest of their plans and thoughts t.
their husbands. Why not reciprocate,
if but for the pleasure of meeting conf
dence with confidence? The men who
succeed best in life are those who make
confdantes of their wives.

WOman7S Hand.

The female thumb is said to be an inn
portant index of the female character.
Women with large thumbs are held by
phrenologists, physiognomists, ETC., to
be more than ordinarily Intelligent
what are called sensible women-while
women with small thumbs are regarded
as romantic. According to certain au-
thors, who profess to have been obser-
vers, a woman's hand is more indicative
of woman's character than her face, as
the latter is to some extent under con-
troll temporary emotions, or of the will,
whereas the former is fact which exists
for any one who understands it to profit
by. Consequently few hints about
the reading of a woman's hand may be
very useful to certain of our readers, es-
peciallv married men, or men contem-
plating matrimony. Women with square
hands and thumbs are said to make good
and gentle he usewives. This sort OF
women will make any one happy who is
fortunate enough to win them. They
are not at all romantic, but they are
what is better-thoroughly domestic.
Women with very large thumbs have
temper" of their own, and generally a
long tongue. There is a hint to the
lover. Let him, the first time he seizes
hold of his lady-love's hand, examine
under some pretext or another, her
thumb; and If it be large, let him make
up his mind that as soon as he becomes
married man he viii have to be good
boy, or else there will be the very deuce
to pay. Again. if young man finds
that his lady love has large palm with
cone-shaped fingers and a small thumb,
let him thank his stars, for in that case
she is susceptible to tenderness, readily
fiattered, easily talked into, or talked
out of anything. and can be readily
managed. But if she is a woman with a
square hand, well-proportioned and only
tolerably developed thumb, why, then,
she is either one of two distinct classes
of women-she is either practical
female who will stand no nonsense, or
she is a designing female; she is wo-
man who cannot be duped, or a woman
who will dupe him.

He Was Devoted.

1t was his vacation, and they were
seated under the branches of a great
apple tree, contented with each others
society and silently communing with
nature. His arm had inadvertently
found its way about her slender form,
and her head had gradually found a
resting-place upon his manly, padded
shoulder. They were dreaming of the
happy days to come, when together they
should walk over the varied pathway of
life, when she suddenly turned her melt
ing eyes upon him and half whispered
"Will you always be so cOntented
with my society, Addy?"
His name was Adolphus, and she
called him Addy for short.
"Always, darling" he murmured,
aud the pressure about her form l =
creased.
"You will never, never grow tired of
me, but constantly remain by my side ?"
Constantly, Angy," he said. Her
name was Angelina.
Remember, Addy dear, we are to be
together for a lifetime. You are sure
you will not weary of my presence"
"Sure," he whispered fervently, as
he brushed q button from her dress.
"Angy, l will be always at your feet.
Always close to your sweet form to guard
and protect my treasure from the dan
gers and trials of this wicked, bad
world" and he looked volumes of love
into her blue eyes.
"You will never, never desert me for
another woman; you will keep firm in
your love, and remain faithful until
death calls one or the other of us to
better world?" she asked, switching
large fly from her ear. Nothing that
folks might say will ever tempt you to
desert my side?"
Nothing, nothing, Angy," he said
"The whole world might rise up against
you, but it would find me still steadfast
in my love. Oceans may separate as,
we may be parted for years, but neither
time nor space shall influence my devo-
ton. I'm yours till DEATH" he said
passionately, as he grabbed large bee
tie that was slowly making its way up
his leg. eyes, yours till death, my
pearl beyon-
"Here, let up" she said suddenly,
edging away from him; II don't know
about that. You are altogether too con-
slant. I never could stand so much
devotion. I'm not one of those girls
who enjoy having a man knocking
around under foot all the time, and I'm
afraid you won't do" and she left him
crushed reed, broken by the willfulness
of woman.
