COurting in Germany.

In Germany the young man who thinks
certain young lady.s father would
make. good father-in-law, puts on his
best clothes, calls on the old gentleman,
and asks for the hand of his daughter.
He never thinks of appealing to the
young lady. That would be almost as
great IN offence against good morals as
it is for the young lady to receive gen.
tlemen callers without the mother being
present. The old gentleman sizes up
the young mans pile, his prospects and
the standing of his family. If these are
satisfactory, he is then introduced to the
girl as her affianced husband. Having a
moral dread of being an old maid, she
at once falls in love. They now go out
together, and act just as spoony on the
streets and in public places as they are
mind to without fear of exciting special re-
mark, whereas, had they been seen on
the street together before the engage
ment, she would have been dropped
from the rolls of good society, and he
would have been twitted and teased by
his friends until life would have become
burden. They go very little on love,
the whole matrimonial scheme in all
classes being regarded as business
affair.

Throwing the Boomerang.

The boomerang is a piece of thin
wood about an inch and half wide, an
eighth of an inch thick; and perhaps
twenty inches long; its shape varies,
sometimes being like the segment of
circle, at others like mans arm bent at
the elbow; but the way of using both
these forms is exactly the same. The
weapon is grasped at one end in the
right hand, with the eoncave side upper
most, and the black man takes run,
such as the ordinary Englishman does
when he is throwing cricket ball. On
sudden he stops, and away fys the.
boomerang, not straight as one might
suppose, but revolving On its own axis
so quickly that in the air it looks like
circular piece of board; this motion gives
it the wonderful power of flight which
must really be seen to be believed. At
first the course is in direct line from
the thrower at such height as he may
require, but as it draws toward the limit
of its distance it swerves slightly to the
right and making a semicircle coming
back on an exactly opposite course to
that which it took on the outward Jour-
ney, generally falling within few feet
of the thrower. During the fight the
revolving of the boomerang causes pc
culiar purring sound, not unlike the hum
of top.

What they DO with Our Wines.

"By the way, tell me why the French
import SO much of our native wine, when
France is the greatest grape-producing
country in the world p asked reporter
of prominent wine dealer.
"Simply because the grape crop has
been a failure in France for five or
six years on account of phylloxera, %
was the reply. "And it is a significant
fact that, Notwithstanding the crop fail
ure, the supply of French wines is as
large as ever. Wine-making is the most
important industry of France, and when
their own grape crop failed they began
importing wines from Spain, Italy, NAL
aga, Greece and the United States
What did they want with them? Why,
to manipulate them and send them back
to the countries they came from as
French wines. They and the Germans
imported from this country last year
over 6,500,0OO gallons of wine, red and
white. The price at the vineyards is
rom forty to seventy-five cents a gallon,
and as they go by sailing vessel-the
longer the voyage the better for the wine
the freight is very light, say five cents
a gallon. Wines that are imported into
France to be exported again are ad-
mitted free of duty there and the differ
ence between the price paid here, with
freight added, and the price paid by our
importers when the wines are sent back
with the brands of well-known French
houses on them gives a good margin for
profit"

The People of Mexico.

The population of Mexico, says
CHARLES A. DANA, is commonly esti-
mated at nine or ten millions. No CEN
sus has been taken, but this estimate is
probably not exaggerated. The great
mass of the Inhabitants are Indians, and
in race and habits they are similar to the
Pueblo, Zuni, and Navajo Indians of
New Mexico and Arizona. They are
generally small in stature, sober, honest,
industrious, temperate and intelligent.
A more valuable peasantry can scarcely
be found. Their virtues are their own:
their vices are of European admixture
School education has done little or moth
ing for them; but of late years efforts
have been made to establish schools for
their benefit. They seem very capable
of being instructed; and if, as we trust,
there is a bright future for Mexico, it
lies in the development and education of
the native race.
The ruling classes in Mexico are
mainly of Spanish and mixed blood.
The late President Juarez was pure
Indian, but the number of educated
people with nothing Spanish in their
origin, must be very small indeed.
Among the civil and military function
aries the Spanish element appears to
predominate; and the political usages of
the country are decidedly Spanish in
their nature.

A Presidents Widow.

Mrs. Santa Anna, says a letter from
Mexico, is only 46, but I am bound to
say that she looks ten years older, in
spite of the fact that only few white
threads appear in her dark thatch OF
hair. 1t is a wonder she does not look
q hundred. Santa Anna was President
of Mexico three years before she was
born. She was plighted to him in her
cradle and married him when she was
13. He was then Military Dictator,
sleeping on his sword, beset by constant
peril. In six months he had lost his leg
and got into Texas prison. For 20
years her life was spent in camp, sur
rounded by the whirl of warfare. Her
husband was five times President of
Mexico, four times Military Dictator in
absolute power. He was banished, re-
called, banished again, and finally died
when with his wife in exile as a traitor.
She has seen much "glory" and has re-
ceived unlimited adulation, but she
hardly ever enjoyed one thoroughly
peaceful month in her life. 1t is a Won
der she does not look as old as Methu-
saleh, for she has suffered more worry
and trouble than q hundred ordinary
women.

Beating Her Down.

The editor of London Truth says /
actually heard woman say once of her
own sister, "She wants me to buy her
lace founces, and I have offered her five
guineas, but she doesn't seem willing to
take it. shall wait awhile She will
be glad enough to accept the money in
a month or two.
The founces were well worth thirty
pounds, but no doubt the hideous bar
gain was concluded. The "beating-
down. process is easy when poverty
helps. I heard another woman say
once, when it was a question of buying
something of an impoverished gentle
woman, els she very poor?" every
poor, indeed" was the reply, "and III
want of the ordinary necessaries ol
life" "Oh, then, should think she
would take ten shillings, and be glad to
get it. You may tell her [ shan't give

A California Romance.

twenty-five or thirty years ago, says
a California newpaper correspondent, I
think, at Marysville, California, which
was then an established yet shanty-like
town, lived Judge Stephen Field, and in
his law Office was young fellow named
George Gorham, who boarded with
plain family, and at the table, another
guest, was forid, Welsh-looking stran-
ger. In the same house, or the next
house, lived an Irishman named Muir
ply, who had a bright, interesting
daughter, but he was fond of padding
her when anything went wrong with
him. This padding had been going on
for some time, and one day the board
ers held an Indignation meeting and re-
solved to go next door and see old Muir
ply, and tell him that if he did not
stop correcting that child on every and
all occasions they would take him down
to the stream and duck him, etc. None
of the guests were especially brave, but
they put on a very brave front and held
1AO DCFOLdl yCuIo
afterward one of these parties, Field,
was called to be Justice of the Supreme
Court. Still later by several years, the
Republicans in California nominated
Gorham for Governor, aud they put on
the ticket with him the present United
States Senator Jones. When Jones met
Gorham he said: care you the little
fellow from Long Island that boarded
at Marysville with me? Don't you
know me ?" "No, don't think / do"
"Why, I'm Jones, the Welsh-looking
fellow that formed one of the posse to go
in and make old Murphy stop keeping
that child screaming" They shook
hands warmly and then Jones said:
"Gorham, do you know what has be-
come of that Mary Murphy ?" "No."
"Why, she is now Mrs. William
Sharon"
My informant says that consequently
there met at Washington City Jones
and Sharon in the united States Senate,
Gorham, Secretary of the Senate, and
Field on the Supreme Bench-all
brought out of that boarding house.
Mary Murphy grew up to be an inter
esting woman, and the padding was
only temporarily disadvantageous.

He Left the Army.

The following story Is told to Illus
trate Bismarck's hatred of the Jews: "a
young Prussian army officer lately be-
came betrothed to. the heiress of a
wealthy manufacturer. The family were
of Jewish extraction, but all of its men,
bers, including the young lady herself,
have long since become converts to
Christianity. As soon as the fact of his
engagement became known the BRIDE
groom-elect was cut by one and all of
his brother officers, who would cross the
street when they saw him coming to
avoid exchanging salutations with him.
He applied to be appointed to another
post, but through the influence of the
Chancellor his applications were invar
iably refused. He has now resigned
from the army and is studying law, pre-
ferring to relinquish his career as a mil
etary man rather than to break off his
engagement.

In the twilight soft and gray.
Electricity for Lighthouses.

1t is strange that, with the many and
increasing uses of the electric light
there has not been demand for its
adoption In the lighthouses of the coast
and lakes. The brilliancy and power of
the electric flame is such that from the
proper height its glare would penetrate
almost any mist or fog and greatly con-
tribute to the safety of vessels. The
Daniel Steinmann went ashore near
Sambro Light because the fog was so
thick that the light was not seen until
too late. Had there been an electric
light on the Sambro tower it could have
been seen through the mist for at least
three or four miles, and the captain of
he lll-starred ship would have recoq-
nized his danger. Electrical Review.

Geese Giving Evidence.

A farmer in the vicinity of Baltimore,
whose geese had mysteriously vanished
one morning from their accustomed pas
turage, having good reason to believe
that one of his neighbors- rival goose
breeder--had unlawfully appropriated
them, gave the object of his suspicion
in custody for theft. The accused per-
son Indignantly repudiated the charge
brought against him, and defed the
prosecutor to identify as his own any of
the geese which might be found grazing
in his (the defendant's) fields or other
wise engaged within the precincts of his
farm-b buildings. This the prosecutor
was at loss to do, for the geese that
which rightfully belonged to his neigh
Dor were all of the same breed, and re-
sembled one another SO closely as to
battle the keenest discrimination While
he was vainIy endeavoring to think of
an expedient for the Identification of his
happy thought struck Judge
Talbot, the magistrate in whose court
the sase was undergoing investigation.
Accompanied by the prosecutor and
the defendant, he betook himself to the
latter's farmyard, in which many geese
were disporting themselves after the
manner of their kind, and with his own
hands threw open the gates of the goose
pen. Joyfully cackling, the geese is
sued forth in body, and waddled along
through field or two with seeming
unity of purpose, followed at some little
distance by the judge and his compan-
ions. Presently, however, a score or
more of their number diverged from the
main flock and set off at a good round
pace upon an expedition of their own,
the goal of which proved to be the farm
yard of the prosecutor. Arrived at
their destination and finding the gate
closed, they set up clamor for admis-
sion, which, as Judge Talbot aptly re-
marked, ''settled the question. The
conviction of the detected goose stealer
followed as a matter of course.

Do you imagine that they smoke all of
the old butts they manage to scoop in
about the city ?"
81 never gave it thought, but I
don't see what else they want them for. )"
"You will be surprised then when /
tell you that these old stumps which are
gathered by the ton about the city, from
hotel cuspidores, saloon ashboxes, rail-
way waiting-rooms and public places
generally, as well as from the cutters,
are manufactured into cigarettes and
smoking tobacco, but I am informed
that such is the case, and that this Sec
ond-hand' business is becoming quite an
industry. Why, dealer was explaining
the process to me the other day. Of
course you don't seesany large concerns
engaged in this business; the trade is
carried on in obscure shops and tene-
ment houses, and hence few people out
side those who are engaged in it have
any idea of its extent. There are prob
ably hundreds of persons connected
with the industry right here in Boston.
''The process of Transforming the
filthy accumulations of cutters and GUS
pidores into bright, fnely-favored smok-
ing tobacco is thus explained: The old
cigar stumps, after the charred ends are
cut off, are soaked in a solution OF am
monia and some other chemical, which
takes nearly all the nicotine from the to-
bacco and removes all traces of smoke
and creosote. The mass of pulpy tobac-
co is then pressed into cakes and sliced
by cutting machine, after which it is
given bath in bleaching solution which
removes nearly all the properties of
which the weed is possessed when it
comes from the plantation. It is now
taken to the roof on trays and left to
dry in the sun. When thoroughly dry |
it is carefully taken up on the trays and |
carried below, where it is passed under |
an atomizer, by which it is dampened |
with a preparation of glycerine and
some favoring extract, after which it is
in shape to be made into cigarettes or
put up in packages as smoking tobacco.
The business is said to be perfectly le-
gitimate, as the manufacturers comply
with the requirements of the revenue
avs, and the tobacco thus pays double
tax."
'It's good thing that those who
Jmoke this secondhand tobacco don't
'ealize what it is, or its use might be
''I don't know about that Those
7no ought to know say tnaJ the cigar
ties thus made are far less harmful
han many of those put up in more at
ractiye shape, and that it would be
good thing for the youth of the coun-
ry if all cigarettes were made of second
land tobacco, prepared by this process.

He Got His Answer.

Jenny Lind once went to hear Father
Taylor preach in Boston, but the preach
er, ignorant of her presence, paid a glow
ing tribute to her powers of song. As
the Swedish nightingale leaned forward
with delight, drinking in this unexpected
praise, tall man, who sat on the pulpit
stairs, began slowly to unwind himself,
and when he had done so, wanted to
know whether any one who had died at
Miss Lind's concerts would go to heaven.
Father Taylor said: "Sir, Christian
will go to heaven wherever he dies; but
a fool will be fool, even though he be
on the pulpit stairs. 1t would take
more grace to save such man as that
than it would take skim milk to feed an
elephant"

Our Actor Lawrence.

Lawrence Barrett's boyhood is men
toned in the Lyndon (Vt) Union thus
"PeopIe familiar with Lyndon Corner in
the years between 1910 and 1850 will re-
member Lawrence as one of the
'gamins' of our street. His father was
a tailor here, having his shop in little
room below the Cahoon office, while his
family lived in the rickety basement be-
low him. His two boys were George
and Lawrence. Lawrence was bellig-
erent chap. When other boys were
running away from rhetoricals Lawrence
was on hand, and seemed to enjoy it. A
little before 1850 the family disappeared
from the village, and that was the last
heard from them till Lawrence began to
appear in the theatrical world
