the country in such II high state of cul-

him about The extension Of lh. Fort

thing was in contamination
but would give nothing
definite. His manner and expression
were such, however, as to convey the
idea that the extension of the Cannon

A Fragment of Russian Folk Lore.

A certain woman had a daughter OF
her own and q step-daughter. She long
wished to get rid OF her step-daughter.
At last she said to her husband: ''Take
your daughter away from my sight; car
ry her wherever you like. Leave her in
the open field to the cracking frosts. "
The father wept and walled, but at
length he yielded placed his daughter
on his sledge, drove her out into the
open field and there deposited her
Then. having crossed himself, he hasten
ed home, so as not towitness his daugh-
ter's death. The poor girl, left alone,
shivered and uttered a silent prayer
Up came Frost and said: ''Maiden,
maiden. | am Red-nosed Frost" ''Good
day to you, Frost" she replied; Il sup
pose God has sent you for my sinful
soul" Frost had intended to smite her;
but he was pleased by her way of speak
ing, so he took compassion on her and
threw her warm cloak. She wrapped
herself up in il and remained sitting
there. Twice did Frost come to visit
her, and each time she pleased Frost so
much by her sage replies that he made
her all manner of presents. She decked
herself with the gold and jewels he gave
her, and sat on the box which had con-
tanned them, singing songs. Meantime
her step-mother was baking cakes for
her funeral feast When they were
ready she sent her husband forth to fetch
his daughters body home. When he
had been gone awhile, the house-dcg
barked from under the table: 1.-The old
mans daughter is being brought home
all in gold and silver, but the old wo-
mans daughter has no suitors,' In
vain did the step-mother regale it with
cakes in order to make it change its
tune 1t barked on as before. When
the girl arrived in all her glory the step
mother was at first astounded! Then,
after hearing what had occurred, she or
dered her husband to take her own
daughter out to the same spot in the
open field and leave her there. He
obeyed. Presently Frost appeared and
addressed the girl as he had addressed
her predecessor; but no good words
could he get from her, so he flew into
rage and froze her to death. When
her mother sent for her after time, the
house dog beneath the table again be-
gan to bark. this time exclaiming: Suit
ors are coming for the old man 5 daugh-
ter, but the old woman's daughter is a
bag of bones.n The door opened, and
the girl was brought in dead. Her
mother wept and walled, but it was too
late.

PROPOSALS OF MARRIAGE.
Many Curious Facts Regarding the Various
Customs in Different Countries.

You will find no end of curious things
written about the marriage proposals,
says writer in Demorest's Monthly, if
you search for that purpose. For in
stance-that eccentric classical charac-
acter, who goes into the kitchen of a
neighbor some morning and, finding the
object of his regard at the wash-tub,
proposes bluntly then and there. In
stead of emptying its contents upon him
she as bluntly accepts his proposal
There is the bashful suppliant who turns
down some leaf about passage-usual-
" sacred one-which tells his story
for him, and the answer is returned in
similar fashion. There is the proposal
at ball or dinner by a slip of paper
sent across the room or table, and there
is the one in which the reply is asked in
the form of some specified and under
stood signal. In some book that Ihave
read, an English gentleman who had
several eligible daughters wondered, af-
ter waiting some years for some such
event, why no one of them, not the
prettiest, got proposal. When he in
yestigated the matter thoroughly he
found that the failure arose from an
architectural blunder. The rooms of
his house were so connected together by
a series of open doors and spacious mir
rors that the question could not be put
without exposing it to almost as much
speculaIity as it would obtain on pub
lie thoroughfare.
1t is quite common for very young la
dies to say that their first serious inter-
est in any young gentleman is aroused
by his previous interest in them-con-
Tossing. in other words, that they have
no original feeling in the matter. They
would not, probably, like to say, what
amounts to about the same thing, that
one gentleman is as likeable or as agree
able to them as another, though they
must constantly act as if it were SO. un-
til some particular gentleman breaks
the spell and gives them permission to
say otherwise. But, what if the right
eous one should never break the spell as
often happens? Or what, if neither the
right one nor the wrong one does, and
no opportunity ever comes? As the sys-
TEN is now arranged this is not at all a
rare circumstance, nor is the lady less
worthy, necessarily, than her different
" favored sisters. She may even be
more worthy, but may have lived more
quietly, or may be deficient simply in
that peculiar art of fascinating, which
even silence cannot prevent from being
powerful
One of the worst features of this un-
mitigated silence, which is imposed up
on one sex alone, is the insincerity and
hypocrisy which it not only inculcates,
but places premium upon. Nothing
irritates a woman so much as to have
any ground given for a suggestion that
she has gone step out of her way to
secure gentleman's interest or atten-
ton. She would rather be won by a
pe"9@nt than move the least bit aggres-
SiNCiJ ~ - r----~~- - -
feelings are smothered and suppressed
and she accepts the artifce which she
must put on, as if it were both reasona-
blf and natural

The Great Mogul at Windsor.

The following good story comes from
quarter whore we are assumed ''its
correctness can be vouched for Many
years ago, at the time of great cere-
mony, Windsor castle was honored
with the presence of three soVereigns.
After breakfast the three potentates
walked and talked on the celebrated
''slopes," and were, of course, in
''mufti. > They were delighted with the
grounds, and presently entered into con-
versation with a gardener, who evident
ly took them for party of gentle
mems gentlemen" out for astroll. After
some little affable talk, he could not re-
sist the query: Now, who may
you gents be?" ''Well,n said the
spokesman, ''this gentleman here hap
pens to be the king of Prussia; that
one standing by your side is the en-
peror of Austria; and as for myself, I
am the emperor of Russia"
This was carrying the joke too far,
thought the gardener. 'I've seen a lot
of queer furrin gents here lately, but
this beats me;' so he burst out in a rath-
er rude guffaw. ''Well, my friend" :"
said the Emperor Nicholas, ''you seem
amused; perhaps you will tell us who
you are. ''Oh, certainly so taking
up the skirt of his coat with the action
of great eagle spreading out his wings,
and spinning round on his heels, he said;
''If you are all what you say you are
why am the great mogulr' The three
majesties roared with laughter, and, re-
turning to the castle, told the story at
the luncheon-table to the immense
amusement of the queen and Prince
Albert, Society.

speed that he had reached the level
ground; yet so great was the impetus he
had received that he flew up the oppo-
site slope toward his fathers farm, and
only stopped some fifty feet below the
barn. His limbs ached, and the arm
which had held the staff was so stiff and
cramped that the slightest movement
gave him pain. Nevertheless, he could
not make up his mind to rest; he saw
the light put in the north window to
guide him, and he caught glimpse OF
pale, anxious face behind the window
pane, and knew that was his mother
who was waiting for him. And yet
those last fifty feet seemed miles to his
tired and aching legs. When he reached
the front door, his dog Yutul jumped up
on him in his joy and knocked him flat
down in the snow; and oh, what an eff
fort it took to rise! But no sooner had
he regained his feet, than he felt pain
of arms flung about his neck and he
sank, half laughing, half crying. into
his mothers embrace.
''Cheer up laddie, he heard some one
saying; ''Ye are a fine chap and a
brave onen'

A Romance in Real Life.

A Cleveland paper contains the fol-
lowing romantic story: "a travelling
artist from Cleveland made the acquaint-
ance of the daughter of prominent
lawyer of Chillicothe and formed an
ardent attachment for her, which was
fully reciprocated. Whom the lover
proposed to the father to address his
daughter he was kicked down fight
OF stairs. Attempting to carry his point
by way Of the mother, he was treated to
a dipperful of scalding water. The
daughter was held a prisoner in her
chamber; but managed to get note to
her lover informing him that all COM
munlcatlons appearing in the personal
column OF Cincinnati paper addressed
to 'Jeannette' and signed jean would
receive attention. Correspondence was
carried on In this way for some time.
when the girl was permitted to make a
prolonged visit in Cleveland. Meeting
her lover there they were married, and
resided at the groom fathers for four
months without the marriage being dis
covered. Returning home, the wife,
after time, found herself about to be-
come mother, but had not the courage
to divulge the secret. She gained her
parents consent to go to school at Gin
einnati. Arrived in that city she, in a
few days, informed her husband, through
the old channel of the newspaper, that
he was father, and the happy parent
hurried to her side.
