Let the Young Folks Marry.

The pretty story that is going the
rounds from Washington of the way

Miss Minnie O'Dewd outwitted the
elder Mr.. Hugh and the elder O'Dowd,
got their nuptial knot all tied in secret
and came back for their parents bless
ing. is full of suggestions for times like
these, says the Piiladelphia Times. OF
course young people have done that be
fore, and win do it again. The snrest
way to hasten young lovers into mat
rimony is to oppose their designs. Often
enough lovers tire of each other. OF fnd
out that they are not as absolutely de-
pendent on each other as they thought
If left to themselves. But try to,chain
up d child, and away he will go; and es-
pecially she. In this instance they both
went And is it not something to en-
courage rather than discourage? That
is, ought not parents to encourage early
love marriages rather than discourage
them, as they often do? The tendency
of modern society is away from early
marriages, especially love marriages.
The merest children are talking of mar
rying for money later on. Thoughtful
people have no doubt as to the sort of
social life this will produce eventually,
and how utterly it will Eitiate al the
little sacrednesses of duty and selfsac-
rifice that are called up in every welded
life. The truth is that true affection
involving the sense of duty is the only
force that will stand by human beings in
the relations involved in every useful
existence. Young people will fall in
love. The desires of nature are not
subject to parental control. OF course.
they can be educated, but to far less
extent than philosophers dream. They
will assert themselves, and it seems that
parents would be far better employed
watching any genuine affections that
arise and in encouraging the same
toward actual early marriage, aiding
the young folks financially and every
way, rather than in checking only the
best of their impulses. 1t is possible,
too. that young folks whose parents are
poor would often do better were they to
marry young, and by mutual fidelity
help each other, than in sowing. wild
oats for future harvests of crime. 1t is
an appeal to parents for a more sensi-
BILE and generous polity toward their
children, and an appeal to, the young
for a return to the heroism OF sound
s hearts again. Hs.. .trs s.s.

q .FThe penny kite" said dealer, sig
a, simple affair, but those unfamiliar
with the business think it marvel of
cheapness They are all alike in size
and shape, but differ in color. The kite
consists of piece of paper and three
slender sticks. The piece OF paper is
from one-eighth to one-sixth of full
sheet, and ream of which will weigh
forty pounds. The paper costs z cents
q pound, so the piece for a kite costs
about 1-16th of a cent. A foot of pine
will make sticks for sixty kites. At the
market rate for lumber they will cost
about as much Ms the paper, or little
more. The materials of the kite thus
cost about ! of a cent. Sometimes the
paper is printed with q picture OF 4
horse or q yacht, or some other fancy
cut. This adds 25 cents q thousand to
the cost, but gives Il variety for the boys
to choose from.
s'Ihe paper. cut to the right size, is
piled on a table on one side of girl.
The piles of sticks are at her other
hand. and q pot of paste and a brush
before her. She spreads out piece of
the paper and runs the paste brush
around the edge. Then two of the
longer sticks are laid on in the form of
an X. Across the cross of the X a
shorter one is laid. Then the pasted
edges of the paper are folded over, in
closing the ends of the sticks. The
completed kite is laid away to dry. Cost
of labor, 1-16th of cent. Cost of the
kite, 3-16ths of 4 cent. Some cost as
high as 3-5ths of 4 cent, but they sell
no better than the others. There is "a
fair margin of profit all around.-NetO

Mnnkinr Birds.

81 have been buying and selling birds
for the last ten years. y said dealer to
a Louisville COatTiCr-J0urRGt reporter.
81 buy 'em in New Orleans from the;
dealers there, and bring them up here
and to other northern cities. Ionly buy
mocking birds, as good canaries are
worth more there than they are here.
These which you see have | swapped
my birds for, and am taking them back
to sell on my next trip will get $3
or 81 for them there, while up here they
are worth only about half as much.
ftHow much do the others cost youp''
''The Knockers cost me 80 cents
apiece in New Orleans when l buy from
the bird merchants. They are creoles
why buy them from tho boys who make
business of catching the young ones
before they leave the nest. When buy
from these boys l only have to pay 10
or Is cents apiece, but it is not often
have the chance, as 1 don't stay long
and must get up lot SIS soon as pos
sible.''
"Who catches the birds and where do
they find them?''
..The boys, black and white. who live
out on the plantations and the coast 4
They make regular business of this,
and when they catch enough they bring
them to tho city and sell them to the
street bird merchants. 1t is against
the law now to take them from the
plantations, and most of them come
from the seacoast.
.''Where do the old ones build their
nests?''
Everywhere, almost, but generally
in wild rose bushes, old fences, and low
trees, They are not very particular
! about their nests, and make 'em out of
a few sticks, which they lay up together
and fix them SO they will just hold the
eggs. They lay four or five, and every
one matches. When left to themselves
| they raise only two broods, but when
| they are taken out by the catchers they
lay and hatch three or four. Tho busi-
| ness is much larger than one might

bought and sold every day. '4' '..' I

A Negro Changing Color.

A very intelligent and well-dressed
colored man created q sensation on the
street recently. He halls from Logan
county, where he has been residing for
twenty years. His parents were both
fullblooded Africans, and he himself
was once as black as crow, as he ex-
pressed himself to us. But now he has
a beautiful white epidermis all over his
body, except his face, which has mot
tied appearance, being yet full of the
small black spots surrounded by white
skin. This discoloration or shedding of
the black skin has been going on for
many years, and before long the man
expects to be as white as any Caucas-
ian. His hair, however. remains full
African. He turned up the sleeves of
his shirt and showed us as delicate1y
white an arm, with the blue veins un-
derneath, as any Caucasian can show.

The Oldest Bank Notes,

The oldest bank notes are the flying
money" or convenient money" first
issued in China, 2697 B. c. Originally
these notes were issued by the Treasury,
but experience dictated a, change to the
banks under government inspection and
control; A writer in u provincial paper
says mat the early Chinese green
backs were in all essentials similar to
the n modern bank notes, bearing the
name of the bank, date of issue, the
number of the note, the signature of the
official issuing it, indications OF its
value in figures, in works and in the
pictorial representation in coins or
heaps of coins equal in amount to its
face value, and notice OF the pains
and penalties of counterfeiting. Over
and above all was laconie exhortaEon
70 industry and thrift. Produce all
you can; spend with economy" The
notes were printed in blue ink. on paper
made from the fiber of the mulberry
tree. One issued in 1899 B. c. is pre-.
served in the Asiatic Museum at St.
Petersburg. -'
