a Lady Correspondent Gives Hints on the
Subject of Popping the Question.
A lady correspondent gives the following
instructive hints on the all-important sub
ject of popping the question: Never pro

Gay or evening before with another man.
Women have not the versatility OF men and
can not as readily tura from one subj ct to
another. Never propose to q woman who
hes recently rel sctsd come one else. Womsn
is naturally sympathetic, and in refusing
preferred love she jnstinctively, almost un-
consciously, dovotes herself to q life of celib-
acy. She should be carefully watched unit |
the reaction takes pace, and then she b
comes even better PREF Jared than before to
lend attention to declaration. If she hts
besn engaged and the relation has been d &
solved, the lover may even be little ea e.
less IN the selection of his time. To q girl
once enea ged an engagement becomes e ne
cessisy, and she is prepared at almoit any
moment to listen favorably to an adyal ts
geous proposition. To propose to a girl in
her own home in the afternoon is ma iosss

duction is that for such girl the evening is
the only time that pl omisei any possibility

Ny best beloved, the spring In fair,
The woods are green and life is good:

The undiscovered paths and wood?

With nyscinth the hedge is blue,
And every weakened leaf seems far,
Blu: not 60 fair as you
While bisckbirds sing on hazel twigs.

The cuczoo's distant cry is borne
Across the meadow by the breeze.

A trooper band surprised the hill,
And held il in the morning.
We were not walked by bugle notes,
No cheer our dream invaded;
And yet, at dawn, their yellow coats
On the green slopes paraded.
We careless folk the deed forgot;
Till one day, idly walking,
We marked upon the self same spot
A crowd OF veterans talking.
They shook their trembling heads and gray
With pride and noiseless laughter;
When, well-a-dayl they blew away,

A Watch with One Wheel.
Inter ocean,

A curiosity in the way of watches was
shown by h. Sordet, director of the
Watchmakers' school at Geneva, before
the theological section of the society of
arts. This wonder is nothing less than
watch with one wheel, manufactured in
Paris in the last century by Mr.. eau
trim. The watch was presented to the
National institute in 1890, being then in
deplorable state; but the teacher of the re-
pairing section at the school, Mr. Emile
James has, after many hours of labor,
succeeded in re establishing harmony be-
tween the various organs, SO that it is now
in going order. The great wheel which
gives the watch its name occupies the bot
tom of the case and the center of the
plate it has sixty teeth and is 80 nm. in
diameter It's axis carries two pinions
one of which receives the motive force
from barrel, and the other carries the
minute work The function of this great
wheel is quadruple. First it acts on a
lift, then on lever operating on another
destined to lower the axis of the watch
and lastly on third lever, the latter serv
ing to return power to the great wheel at
the moment when the action relents by
the rise of the axis

Life on the Planet Mars.


Professor Locky& is of the opinion that
hum fe on thes planet Mars may be
very much like life on the earth; the
light cannot be SO bright, but the organs
of sight may be so much more suscepti-
bic as to make the vision quite as good
The heat is probably less as the polar
SHOWS certainly extend farther, but by no
means less in proportion to the lessened
power of the solar rays.
He agrees with others that several very
remarkable SEAS including inland seas,
some of them connected and some not
connected by straits with still larger seas,
are now definable in the southern hemI-
sphere. in which, as in the case also with
the earth, water seems to be much more
widely spread than in the northern hemi-
sphere. There is, for example, a south
ern sea exceedingly like the Baltic in
shape; and there is another and still more
remarkable sea, now defined by the OBJ
servations of many astronomers. one near
the equator, a long, struggling arm,
twisting, almost in the shape of an S laid
on its back. from east to west, at least
1000 miles in length and 100 in breadth.

Misery Loves Company.


An incident at the new opera house the
other day exhibited to good advantage
phase of human nature. A loiterer stood
gazing in at the open door in the rear of
the stage. Immediately below the door
was an open cellar window, out of which
workman occasionally threw a shovel
full of dirt Of course, the loiterer was
not aware of the workman's operations,
but in few minutes he received notitica-
ton thereof in the shape of a mass of
dirt colliding with his legs. He stepped
back but another loiterer took his place
In few minutes he, too, was brushing
mud from his pantalOonS, while No. 1
walked away, grinning. Still another
man came up, unaware of the fate OF his
predecessors, and soon had an experience
identical with theirs. No. 2 then walked
away, in his glee at the mishap of No. 8,
entirely forgetting his own Soiled gar
mentS.
The next conner was a fat, 1ashily
dressed sporting man, who wears good
clothes and is very proud of them. He,
too, peered in at the stage door, and posed
as if he might be the proprietor of the
building on dress parade. But the I'M
seer wielder of the shovel in the cellar be-
low was no respecter of persons, and by
this time his spade had reached moist
earth. The result was couple of quarts
of wet, dripping clay plastered profusely
upon the Observers spring pantaloons
from the knees downward. No. 3, who,
of course, stood handy by waiting for the
fun, did something more than smile. He
laughed outright.
"You seem to think it funny, don't

There didn't am body tell me, replied
No. 3, continuing his laughter.

Made a Purse of Her Shoe.
boston Evening Record.l


a colored girl, who had barely reached
her teens, was asked the other day by a
conductor in a Metropolitan street car for
her fare, betrayed symptoms of uneasi-
ness and began cycling her feet The con
ductor repeated his demand and the girl
began fumbling with one of her button
boots, which she finally succeeded in tax
ing off. The boot had an unusually
capacious toe, and, when she had
taken off this outer covering for
her foot she put her hand in its
forward part and drew out, not purse,
but tiny piece of cloth in the folds of
which were a few nickels, with one of
which she Eaid her fare. Some of the
passengers Uttered. but one of them asked
the girl, sympathetically. WI she used
her boot for purse. The girl, who had
hitherto remained silent, now exclaimed
indignantly:
Them men who laugh at me oughter
had their own pockets picked, as Pse had,
and then they might a put their money in
their boots, if they had any what wouldn't
leak.
This simple and expressive rebuke and
explanation told the whole story and
secured for the poor colored girl the sym
pathy of the passengers. besides little
substantial aid.
