PARTICLES in Germany.

Much concern is felt in North Ger.
many with respect to the steady increase
in the number of parricides, and most OF
them are attributed to the custom which

up, their property, reserving for them.

A Wood ChOpping Idyl.

ga man has got to know how to cut
wood, 1 tell you, =" said gentleman of
the wood-chopping profession whom it
was my good fortune to interview in his
own domain. "He's got to know more'n
how-to swing an axe to make a chopper.
If he don't, ten to one he'll get out O.
wind on the big fellows after splittin' a
bit or bust himself up lftin' the big
sticks. Now, was brought up to it,
and l can chop stiddy an fast. and cave
right into it, an stand hard on my legs
and not get out O. wind Every lick
counts. l allus did like choppin'; and
there's my boy, just turned thirteen
he'll make a chopin boy, you bet! My
wife, too, she's got an axe of her own,
and she lows she's goin' to help me
out with, this piece O. splittin'. Why,
when we was first married she worked
long side O. me every day bringin'
down the trees, chopin her half cord
and putin it up; an then doin her
homework. Reg lar Jersey girl she was;
none o your. h'ity-t'ity, notions bout
her; right smart to work, an just as
fond of pretty piece o chopin as 1
was. We went clean out into the heart
O. the wood the first thing and set up
housekeeping in shanty. Land can
smell them woods yet. She chopped
like man and cooked the whites, too.
If it want that she chops overhanded
she could beat lots O. fellows now" b 4.
The ''piece of chopping" where this
delightful romance was enacted was, 1
learned afterward, ''furder down Shore"
deep in wood valuable for glass-house
use. Great quantities are consumed by
these voracious feeders, requiring large
cut annually. Wages are always fair,
and ''wittles"-so my informant an
swered on inquiry-are reasonable.
''Pork bout the same fgger as any
where" No mention was made of any,
thing else; pork, to him, evidently COM
prised all that was meant by ''wittles."
1t must have been an idyllic life-living
alone in a great pine wood with the
woman of his choice, working by his
side in the ''prettychoppin' ~, with good
wages, snug little shanty, a bed feath-
cred with bough-tips, and plenty of
bacon. = Nneland Cor. Philadelphia

The Use OF Medals and Decorations in
England.


Considerable discussion has recently
taken place as to the propriety of war
medals and decorations being worn with
evening dress. The calculation of the
subject may, think, be somewhat sim
plified by a knowledge of the fact that
all members of her Majesty's household,
when wearing the household evening
dress-which all the world knows con-
sists simply of dark-blue dress coat
and brass buttons, with the usual ex-
tremities, and white waistcoat-are
enjoined to wear miniature medals, and
decorations on the left lapel of their
coat; this, in fact, is de rigueur. The
Prince of Wales is most particular as to
this, and should any one whom he
knows happen to forget his medals, he
seldom or never fails to. give him a
good-natured reprimand. Yet so sensi-
tive are Englishmen of being thought
''swaggerers" that if any of the said
members of the household are going
from the royal presence to another func.
ton they always take off their deeora-
tions; but, of course, if the wearing of
such medals in the evening was gener-
ally recognized, there would be no
necessity for this act of self-abnegation.

nest is disclosed, and from it leaps a
beautiful bird, which, perching upon a
rest, begins to sing like canary, open
ing its bill and fluttering its wings and
body iu the most life-like manner; when
ats song is done it hops back to its nest
and the oval closes. This beautiful toy
costs twelve dollars.

MY SWEET VALENTINE.

I'll tell you of little maid
I've chosen for my Valentine;
She is not very wise or staid, "..
And numbers years from seven to nine.
But truth looks from her eyes of blue,
And oh, her voice has music in it:
I'm speaking only strictly true;
You'd surely think twas lark or linnet.
She always does just what she should,
Without a fuss or bother;
So nice. so loving and so good, nj
You scarce could find another.
And so for my sweet Valentine
choose this little darling maid
Ny dearest daughter, seven to nine,
Who is not very wise or staid. ID

The parrot is an initiative bird.
When it lives near church it becomes a
bird of prey. 1t will also acquire crude
profanity, with which itdelights to shock
the sensibilities of people coming out or
going into church. The parrot is an
evergreen. 1t never drops its foliage in
the fall of the year, but retains its YER
dure from one years end to the other.
The parrot will i've on almost anything.
1t will live on to 100 years of age, UNI

"Oh, she'd rather have a turkey"
said l, stepping back little. He acted

Then he walked right over to her and
took her in his arms and kissed her lots

was her valentine, and SUPPOSE it was
all right. After while they called me
over to them, and auntie looked so
pretty with the sparkle in her eyes.
''This is Mr.. Archer, May" she said;

"You are not to call me Mr.. Archer,
