No Taste for Sepulchres.

A young lady says she doesn't like to
be courted by sepulchres-old beaux
with growing bald spots and ill-assorted
teeth; they are always ready to criticize
women for repairing deficiencies of
figure and complexion, yet actually they
do more making-up in the end, and they
expect the girls to be devoted to them.
She likes young men whose circulation
is good and who are earnest lovers. So
far she has not received an offer of mar
riage, but thinks she would enjoy that
most where the lover in a romance comes
up behind her, as she stands in con-
servatory or bay window, and takes her
in his arms as he whispers the words
she has been longing TO hear. Then
she wouId hide her face on his shoulder
and experience the heroine's alloverish
feeling that Is as sweet as honey, and as
soft as an angels touch.

The patent specification (1877, Jan

description and diagrams, can
be seen in the Patent Museum, South
Kensington. One chief merit of the in
vention is the facility of construction
from common materials, the basis of the
boat being capable of being made out Of
a common three-dczen wine case, and the
paddle-boxes from barrel sawed in two
A still more handy invention is a life

an anchor weighing five cwt. or there

seven or eight men can cling to the line,
and the weight steadies the buoy SO as to
prevent capsizing when washed through
