CoURTING BY TUBE.
The Inconvenience 10 Which Lovers
Were Subjected In Old Puritan
Times.

Were Subjected In Old Puritan
Times.
In early New England days, as far back
as the middle of the eighteenth century
when hospitality was practice as well as
virtuo, there was in most houses only
ono large assembly room, and there the
family and all tho guests and chance call
ers gathered on winter night about the
blazing fire Of logs. We know that youth
was youth and love was love, and young
men were timid and maidens were shy,
and courtship went on in those days. How
was courtship possible in this common
room, whore every word WINS heard and
every look taken notice of? We read
in the admirable volume on the recent
centennial of Long Meadow, Mass, by
Prof Richard 5. Storrs, of that town, in
the winter evenings, for the convenience
OF young lovers, since there was no next
room," courting sticks wore used-that is,
long wooden tubes that could convey
from lip to car sweet and secret whispers.
Was this an invention peculiar to Long
Meadow?
1t is charming picture that this calls
up OF life i'll Puritan household, this
tubular love-making, the pretty girl
NEARLY every girl is pretty in the fire.
light of long ago. seated in ono stiff
high-backed chair, and the staid but
biushing lover in another, handling tho
courting stick, itself an open confession
of complacence, if not of true love. Would
the young man dare to say ~ love you"
through n tube, and would he feel en-
couraged by the laughing, tender eyes of
tho girl when she replied, through tho
same passage, DO tell" Did they have
two sticks, SO that one end of one could
bo Mt the ear and the end OF the other at
tho mouth all tho while? How conven-
lent, when the young man got more ar
dent than was seemly, as the flip went
round, for the girl to put her thumb over
the end of tho tube and stop the flow of
soul Did the young man bring hisstick
and so announce his intention, or did the
young lady always keep one or a pair on
hand. and SO reveal both willingness and
expectation 1t WAS much more con-
venient than the telephone, with its
hello and proclamation 10 all listeners
of each end of the line. Lovers can make
love with anything. even with tele-
phone, tho successful courting of deaf
person (for there is one word that nearly
every ono likes to hear, as we know, can
go on through speaking trumpet but
these courting-sticks seem to us tho ne
plus ultra of tender communication
when third party is present. They
would be very useful now at largo par
ties, whore there is such a din and babble
that one can only court pretty girl ut
the risk Of bronchitis or laryngitis. Some
times in the jam you cannot get near
the girl but with long courting-stick
you could vile her away from her too
near admjrcr. This invention seems to
us worthy OF revival for many reasons.
and wo should be glad OF any further in
formation in regard TO it. Civilization in
its progress drops a great many things
that ought to be retained.-ChdrleS Dudley

'REFORM'S" RECORD.
WHAT THE DEMOCRATS, WHO PROMISE so

Stealing $2O,OOO,OO Out of Less Than One
Third tho Revenues Of To.Day-A List Of
Their Principal Delinquents and Default-
ers-Allowed to Escape with Their Plunder,
with No Effort TO Make Them Disgorge

The campaign cry Of the democratic party
II "Reform." Democrats are clamoring
loudly for " honest men In Office" Turn the
rascals out " shrleks every campaign orator
from the stump, and the general demand Of
every campaign document and poster Is for
change--anything but what is, so long rs the
democratic party is given control of the gov
ernment. II is well, therofre, to examine the
record and see what sort of reform" the
democratic party is anxious to give us what
they mean by honest men In office and the
kind of rascals they win put in when they
turn the alleged rascals out, and the best pos
sble evidence of whot they will do is to be
found in what they have done.
In 1898 Andrew Jackson the great hero and
patron saint of democracy, was elected prcsi-
ident and since that time his name has been
sacred to the party, and his picture has held the
place of honor In every national convention Of
that party. He formulated and gave life to the
great democratic principle, ito the vctors be-
long the spoils," and In pursuance of 1t began
wholesale turning out Of oiiice-holders of all
grades and in all places. In the forty years
preceding his Inauguration there had been
only 1872 changes in the employees OF the gov
ernment. His predecessor, John Quincy Ad-
ans, had made but twelve changes, and all
for cause. But Jackson, during the first year
of his administration, made nearly 1900
changes, or about twelve times as many as all
