He ExPERIMENTED.-Ile was a
bashful wooer, but there was GER
tain manliness about him which in
dicated that he only needed a little
encouragement to let himself out.
She saw this, and she resolved on
a policy of encouragement.
Do you believe these stories in
the funny papers, she asked, about
the willingness of young ladies to
be kissed
II really can't say, he replied.
They may be true. Then, gather
ing courage, he added: hope they
are true, and he drew closer to her.
1t seems to me, she said, that
there is Only one way in which a
young man can discover whether
they are true or not.
And what is that? he asked.
There was IA brief pause. Then,
with a far-away look in her eyes,
she answered:
By experimenting when he has
an opportunity.

Good Advice.

When once a waterproof is put
on to defend the body from wet, it
should on no account be taken
off until the wearer has not only
taken shelter, but is in position
to change his clothes.
What Il covering of oiled silk
does for II wet rag in surgery
namely, convert it into poultice-..-
the waterproof does for the clothes
OF its wearer.
The neutrality-suspicious. which
finds way of escape through ordi-
nary clothing is kept in by the
waterproof, and the clothes are
saturated with moisture. A very
few minutes will suffice to render
the under clothing damp under
a waterproof, particularly if either
the wcarcr perspires freely or the
weather be what is called 'muggy'
as well as wet. When, therefore,
the wcarer of a waterproof takes
of that article Of clothing because
it has ceased to rain, he is in the
position of "A person who has damp
clothes on, and, il he sits in the
saddle, or walks home, or rides in
an open trap, he is more likely to
take cold than il he had not used
the waterproof at all If, there
fore, waterproof is once put on,
it should on no account be removed
until the clothes can be changed OF
dried by q fire without reduction

The SMALLEST BABY EVER BORN.
The New York World says: Mrs.
Charles Tracy, of Kingsbridge, on
Monday last gave birth to a male
child that promises to be a wonder.
ful addition to the world of dwarfs
and midgets. 1t weighs exactly
eleven ounces and is but six inches
long, but as full of life and gifted
with rs much lung power as is
usually found in babies of a like
age of larger dimensions. Its par
ents are well developed, and the
three children born to them before
the present youngster were OF the
regular size. The surprised parents
and the attending physician is una
bic to account for the strange freak
of nature. The baby's body could
be encircled by a fourteen-year old
child's thumb and index finger
The head, perfectly formed, is about
the size of a crab apple. Its mouth
is SO small that it is unable to par
take of its natural nOurishment,
and it takes its milk through a
small nipple, the size OF a straw,
attached to a small glass bottle.

Rich with u Little.

When the late Hon. William Il.
Marcy was Governor Of the State
of New York, there called upon
him one morning rough specl-
men of a back. woOdsman, named
Smith, whom the Governor did not
recognize, until his visitor told him
he had been a schOolmate of his
thirty years before.
'Well,' said Smith, when he
had refreshed the Governors
memory, 'times have changed
since then, and you have become a
great man, aud got rich, sup

| shook my head, said Mr.. Mar
cy, in telling the story, and was
going to contradict that impress

'Oh, yes, you are; know you

time; and the next We heard of
you, You were Governor. You

4 Granger's Experience with
the Telephone.

Yesterday, while Mr.. Smith, the
Secretary of the state Agricultural
Society. was very busy he was ap.
preached by granger who desired
to telephone to a down town store.
'There's the telephone; go and
help YOURSELF said the secretary.
The granger approached the in
strument rather timidly, eyed it
cautiously for a few moments, and
then, taking a piece of paper,
wrote a message. He then rolled
up the paper and tried to push it
in the aperture in the transmitter.
Failing in his attempt, with his
finger, he took his lead pencil and
iammed il in, destroying the
vibrating board. With an air of
satisfaction he took his seat and
awaiting reply. After about
ten minutes he became discouraged
and thinking he perhaps had not
sent the message on the right line,
he wrote another and lammed it
into the hand telephone, and, to
make sure work, rammed it home
as he would a ball in rifle. lie
again sat down, and after waiting
nearly half an hour become dis
couraged at getting no reply, and
thanking the secretary for the use
of the telephone, walked out,
remarking that he would not give
a continental for the machine,
anyhow.
Soon aftcrward the secretary,
wanting to use the telephone, was
astOnlshed at its appearance. 1t
was Stuiied iull OF manuscript ana
ruined. The instrument was taken
apart and the messages taken out ;
all read as follows: "Bakker and

The machine was repaired at a cost
of Sl5, which the verdant granger
paid. To avoid similar Occurren-

Both Went Back

Several years ago, there lived in
Dardanelle, Arkansas, an eccen.
tric hotel keeper known as-well, l,
say Uncle John. lie was violently
opposed TO the title Of governor, g,
declaring that he once knew a
gang of thieves whose password
was governor and on many an
occasion guests who thoughtlessly
gave him the title, were driven
from the house. Commercial
travellers put up at his hotel.
Those who were acquainted with
his peculiarities took great delight
in assuring drummers who had
never before visited the town, that
by calling the old man governor,
special attentions would be paid.
One day Harry Collins, young
drummer for a New York house,
decided to visit DArdenelle.

He had been teased several times

The drummer became angry and
swOre that he would not stand
such abuse.
Come out here,' said the old
man. Collins followed and was
conducted to the bank Of the river,
not far away.
Now exclaimed the old man,
drawing a revolver, 'we'll settle
this thing. Two of us came down
here. Only one of us will go back.
The drummer TOOK out a pistol, ,
half as long as his arm, and re-
marked:

Two Dangerous Seasons.

Spring and fall are times when so many
people get sick. The changes in the wealth
er are severe on feeble persons, aud even
those naturally strong are apt, as they say,

lust in condition to be struck down with
some kind of fever. A bottle or two Of

Taking the Hat Round.

Some time ago there was in
London for the season a lady who
is very well known in the French
fashionable world. One day she
happened to see in the streets a
monkey begging pennies, in the
pretticst manner possible, from the
public for the benefit of his master,
an organ grinder. The Marqulse
took a fancy to it, bought it, dress
ed it in the gaudiest Of raimcnt
and made it a pet.
Tue lady the other day had in
Paris fashionable reception for
the benefit Of a charity, and OF
course her pet was the wo ndcr OF
the room. In the course Of the
evening "A young lady sat down at
the piano, and, accompanying her
self, sang with exquisite taste a
little drawing-rOom song. AS soon
as the lady had finished, the mon
key, who, though now partially
civilized. had not forgotten his
former duties, seized his hat, and,
holding it before each guest, ac-
cording to his custom, commenced
a collecti on.
The vocalist laughed, the Mar
quise looked vexcd; but to the
amusement of everybody the
monkey went the rounds, and col
lected a large sum. His task end
ed, he jumped upon the singers
shoulder amidst shouts Of laughter,
and deposited the contents of the
hat in her lap, the collection, Of
course, being devoted to charity.

At Plymouth, in the olden days,

and in turn knew everybody 80

The La { Baby.

The last baby born in the family
is very apt to be a baby all his life,
even in manhood. The first one,
of course, creates the deepest in.
terest during his early days. The
intermediates are simply bright or
pretty. None OF the degrees OF
comparison is ever lavished on the
intermediate baby. 1t is the first
and last child which create the gOs-
sip and attract notice. But as the
first grows up and the others fol.
low everything tender seems to
cluster about the last born. lie
doesn have to wear the old clothes
of tho others. They are constantly
reminded that this one is their
youngest brother. They must play
with it, and everything new that
comes in the house must be inspect
ed by this last addition. He is al
ways supposed to be the flower OF
the flock. AS lie grows older and
stronger the old people cling to
him the closer. AS long as he lives
there is home. The others have
become men aud women and have
gone away, butthe baby remains at
home with the old people. 1t is a
bitter day when he leaves. His
going out from the homestead is
the first signal for the grief which
sits at the hearthstone during the
long winter nights and thinks OF
the boy out in the world. 1t is the
beginning of the robbery of home.
