Mile. De Prago's Choice.

As the controversy has often been
waged as to whether it is competent for
a lady to propose marriage, an inter-
esting example may be quoted, the he
roine being no other than the wife of NJ
de Lesseps. This distinguished lady
was at La Chesnave when all Europe
was astir about the achievements of the
Suez enterprise. One day in the garden
she saw De Lesseps walking on a ter
race. She plucked a rose, and, going
up to him, begged of him, for her sake,
to wearit at dinner. He asked her if
she did not mean it for his son. No; it
was for himself. De Lesseps explained
to her that he was on the wrong side of
sixty, while she was not yet nineteen.
That did not matter; what his age was
had never occurred to her. She had
only thought of his grandness and his
goodness. How was it possible for q
man reared on the sunny side of a Py-
renean mountain to reason down the.
feelings this confession aroused? Time
was given to Mile. de Prago to reflect.
and She was given to understand that
no friendship would be lost were she to
change her mind after the bans had
been published. The marriage, how
ever, was celebrated contemporaneous-
~ with the Suez fetes.

Life on thu Farm.

As to its drudgery, whatever has been
tho case in the past, where there were
stumps to be pulled and mortgages to
be lifted from almost every field; when
it was long way to market, and the
buyer paid for produce in trade
when almost all implements were la
boriously hewn out at home or clumsily
hammered out by the village black
smith there is, happily, less drudgery
on the farm now, and less need Of it
every year. Taking the year through,
the working hours of man on farm
are no longer than those Of section
hand on the railway, or an artisan in
the shop, who has his own garden to
hoe before breakfast or after supper.
The busy lawyer and the doctor in
average practice work harder and long
er than the farmer. The grocer and
the editor and the book keeper see less
of their children in their waking hours
than the farmer who sometimes envies
them their ''easy life 1t must be
conceded, of course, that the profits of
farming are not SO large on the average
as those which are realized by men who
are successful in mercantile life. But,
such as they are, they are surer--twenty
fold surer, at least. Large profits are
always contingent on large risks

ply to an invitation. He was topper

''The idea," one of them replied,
''that you should prescribe conditions,

force one of your abominable mixtures
on us. You are chief of the mixed
drinkers, and I won't agree to your con-
ditions.'

A New Danger.

A most painful incident has happened
in st. Joseph, Mo. "A young lady NOV
ing in the first circles Of society play
fully bit young gentleman in the arm.
There had been a mock quarrel between
the two as to the possession of piece
of jewelry, and the young gentleman
went to his room charmed with the
young lady's repartee, and more than
ever convinced that for true refinement,
as we'll as for brilliant wit, the young
ladies Of Missouri are unrivaled. To
his great surprise and horror the bite
proved to be poisonous, and the young
man narrowly escaped losing his life.
This incident naturally reminds the To-
cal Missouri press of another young man
who was playfully bitten year ago in
the thumb by another fair Missonrian,
and who thereupon died in greatagony.
The inference that bite of a Missouri
girl is poisonous and may be fatal is ir-
restible, and when we consider the man
ners and customs of Missouri girls as
revealed by the two stories just quoted,
it is really a wonder that any male Mis-
sourian who has mingled much in soci-
ETY. still survives.
About a year ago NJ. Pasteur, the en-
inent French physician, discovered by
experiment that small animals inocu-
lated with the saliva of human being
die almost as quickly as those which
have been bitten by the cobra. Com
pairing the result of these experiments
with the tragedies which have been
caused by the careless use of the teeth
on the part of the Missouri girls, it be-
comes only too probable that all girls
are poisonous. That this has been only
recently discovered is doubtless due to
the fact that, outside of the first circles
of Missouri, society girls rarely if ever
bite. In circumstances where 4 Mis-
souri, girl would gracefully bite COM
panion of the other sex the average girl
would content herself with playfully
tapping him with fan. Any prudent
person will shudder with horror when
he thinks how near he must have been
at some time in his life to the deadly
teeth of a girl, and realizes that he owes
his life simply to the fact that the girl
abstained from biting him.
If girls become generally aware that
they can intlict death with their upper
incisors as surely as the rattlesnake can
slay its victim with it's fangs, what safe
ty will there be for any human being
who does not completely isolate himself
from girls?-NeaO York Times.

A Heartless Son.

Sylvester Mackson is the son of old
Tom Mackson, deceased, who was one
of the richest and closest men in Aus
tin. He was large landowner, and
never was known to sell foot of land.
After his death, Sylvester, who is very
fast, came into possession of the prop
erty, and the first thing he did was to
sell fine lot on one Of the principal
streets. A few days afterward, an old
friend of his father, Col. Dodson Van
Slycke, met Sylvester on the street, and
rebuked him for selling the old man s
land.
''Why, the old man must have turned
in his grave, Sylvester, when you sold
that lot the other day." said Col. Van
Slycke.
''Never mind,' replied Sylvester,
who was a little tight, the old man
will come all right. I'm going to sell
another lot next week. and then he will
turn back again in his grave
1t is needless to add that the good
people of Austin refuse to recognize
Sylvester when they see him on the
street. Texas Siftsaags.
