Forming Line to Kiss a Bride.

While making short cut to the
Providence depot, saw clerical
friend coming down a flight of steps
with a smile on his ordinary placid
features, like Christmas dinner.
II was smiling to think" said he, in
explanation, "how that Yankee habit
OF forming in line will crop out. You
see, just stepped in here to do little
marrying. 1t is family where they
keep up the good old custom of kissing
the bride once for luck, once for love,
and once for fun; and, after the cere-
mony, set the example. and the groom
followed. Then the privilege was gen
orally taken advantage of. The bride
was passed around to be tasted of, as
it were, and it would have made a
horse laugh to see all the male friends
and relatives instinctively fall into a
line and decorously await their turns
to do honor to the bride. Why, no
crowd at a stamp window, or at a hall
door, ever formed more systematically,
or fired and fell back, as a soldier
would say, with more of a matter-of-
fact and business air, and the good
clergyman turned around corner to
have his laugh out Boston Globe.

Charming Women.

1t is the business of woman of the
world to be agreeable, says a writer in
1he atlantic. She spares no pains to
make herself as good looking as posi-
bic and just as charming. Aud she is
always tolerant. She may think you
are fool for your beliefs, but she don't
tell you so brutally, or try to crush YOU
with an avalanche Of argument. She
tries to look at the matter from YOUR
point OF view; in short she feigns a
sympathy, if she have it not. Your
women with purpose think it wrong
to feign anything. They won't pretend
to be sympathetic any more than they
will powder their faces, or let their
dressmaker improve their figures.
That's why they are so boring! they are
too narrow to be sympathetic, and too
conscientious to be polite. 1t Is earn
estness that does it; earnestness is usu-
ally narrowing. 1t is earnestness, too,
that sets their nerves in culver and
makes them so restless. They can new
er sit still; they are always twitching,
don't you know? That's earnestness.
1t has kind of electrical effect. Wo-
men in earnest have no repose Of man
ner. But woman Of the world feigns
that just as she feigns sympathy, be-
cause it makes her pleasant to other
people. Oh, there is no doubt of it;
women with a purpose are vastly better
than other women, but they are not
nearly so nice, ...- ~. IN.

He Skinned All the Cats.

A Lewiston boy, one day last week,
learned in some way that furs, and es-
pecially cats fur, had risen in price,
and were in great demand. Tina, night
neighbours cat fell victim to the
Youngsters greed. The boy talked
learnedly Of furs at the table next day.
His eyes were fixed on the family cat,
but she was unfortunately white, and
white muffs are not in fashion, and the
youngster knew it. The cats skin was
removed and stretched upon a board,
and black cats skin summed on the
back of the shed throughout the day.
The next day after the mills shut down
there was not more industrious boy
than he. Every furrier in the city
looked down that evening into an anx-
ious boy S face and was obliged to de-
cline an invoice of eats furs cheap for
cash. 1t was tired boy who climbed
into his little bed that nj ght and vowed
vengeance on the man who was re-
sponsible for the exertion. He told his
story at the mill next day. Some one
told him that cat skin was not so
a III St-CldSS lul ds IL ustu W Ub,
but that it was a great thing for spav-
ms on horses. The next day the boy
was industrious again. Every stable
keeper in two cities was interviewed by
a bright-eyed boy on the subject of
spawned horses. Some of them paid
no attention. Some of them looked
over his goods while the boy waited ex-
pectantIy. 1T nearly broke my heart"
says one livery man, "to see the tears
gather in the boys eyes when laughed
at him. | wouldn't of laughed if I'd
known he was in earnest, The boy
didn't sell his fur. He went home
with it and tackled it on the board again
and stored it away in the shed cham
Der. Some one told him that cat was
liable to be fashionable any day, and
now the boy awaits the coming millen-
mum for cats. -LeWiston (Me. Journal.

Sadowa and Reichshoffen, whose living
is gained by agriculture and CON-
merce. " The gross untruth of this
statement will strike every one who
has ever set foot on German soil, be
1t in east, west, north, or south. The
emigration Of workingmen, and par
ticularly agriculturists, is undeniably
partly due to the low wages which are
paid in Germany, but to such misery
as NJ Layollee would make his hearers
believe is universal they are never ex-
posed. The ameliorations in their lot
alluded to are so small that, though a
little further removed from death of
starvation and cod the workman
never derives any material comfort
from them, and, as before, he drinks
his coffee, eats his porridge, bread,
cheese, and potatoes watered with
brandy and beer, and plods on day by
day, fortunately not sufficiently endow-
ed with intelligence to comprehend the
full degradation of his LOT. The ex-
haustive statistics which NJ. Layollce
publishes in addition to the preceding
details serve but to confirm his state
ments. To foreigners they may seem
starvation wages not so to those
who know the statement of affairs in
Germany, and how little, except In
large towns, suffices for the neces-
saries of daily life. st. James's Gu
zette,
