The Secret of the Fascination They Exert
Upon the Frank and Free-bOrn Yankee
Maiden.
American girls who marry foreigners
are supposed to have but one motive
alteration of titles-but n excuse for
their folly, the influence and encourage
ment of mothers sillier than their off
spring. 1t is a foreigner. one who not
only travelled in the United States, but
lived for several years in the best society
of New York and Boston, who furnishes
a better reason for such marriages than
any given by Americans who have at
tempted to lind the secret of the fascina-
ton foreigners exert upon the frank and
free-born Yankee maiden. Says this
observant stranger:
sMen-ladies' men-are terribly
scarce in America, where husbands and
fathers, brothers and cousins, mostly
business men. are off early in the morn
ing after an early breakfast, only to be
back in the evening for a late dinner or
supper: and they come home worn out
with work, debased by greed, untitled
for ladies' company by want of con-
genial education and polish, of SYM
patty with female pursuits, or apprecia-
ton of female talents and graces.
Hence it is that a male visitor, a
mar free from engagements. and with
indefinite time at his disposal. willing
to devote himself to women, to humor
them. to take some interest in their not
very serious Or heavy occupations, is
looked upon as a godsend in all Ameri-
can households. IN. O. TImes-Demo-

According to HoyIe."

according to Hoyle," is a phrase
common among card-players, many of
whom are under the impression that
Mr.. Hoyle was a reformed gambler,
who turned his attention to bookmaking
as a means of keeping himself out of
the poorhouse. Edmund Hoyle was
born over two hundred years ago, and
lived to the advanced age of ninety
seven, dying in Cavendish Square, Lon
don, in 1909. He was among the first
who took special interest in whist, and
after it became a craze he devoted sew
eral years of his life to teaching the
game at a guinea a lesson. Some sup
posed that he invented the game, but it
was well known before he was born.
However he did much toperfect it. He
was paid 5000 for a treatise on whist,
which was published in 1743. At the
same time he was attached to aGovern-
ment Office in Ireland. Toward the
close of his life he revised the treatise
and included in it backgammon and
other popular games of the day

Mistaken Identity.

Here is a good story anent Sir Ed
ward Thornton, for which the Pail Mall
Gazette vouches: At a Washington re-
ception a young gentleman said to a
rather imposing looking man: ..Good
evening! glad to see you've have not
met since we parted in Mexico" The
person thus spoken to coldly replied:
81 fear you have the advantage of me. +"
''Why, surely!" exclaimed the mortified
young fellow. .sYou don't seem to re-
member me-" ITO tell the truth, 1
have never been to Mexico" care you
not Sir Edward Thorntonp" mo, 1 am
Judge Poland, of Vermont. A few
nights after this rebuff the young man
happened to be at another party, and
seeing the Judge made up to him. At
ter a little desultory conversation he
ventured to say: THAT was an awful
blunder of mine the other evening to
take you for old Thornton" ssAnd
whom do you take me for now, may ]
askp" "Why, you told me you were
Judge Poland, of Vermont" The reply
was crushing-sOn the contrary, sir
my name is Thornton!"

The Smallest Watch in the World.

A small, gold penholder, resting in a
rich velvet case, lay on a jewelers. show
Ease in John street, last week. The end
of the holder was shaped like an elon-
gated cube, and was an inch long. A
faint musical ticking that issued from
it attracted a customers attention. The
jeweler lifted the holder from the case,
with q smile, and exhibited a tiny watch
dial, 1-16th of an inch in diameter, set
in the side between two other dials
almost as small. One indicated the day,
and the other the month of the year.
The center dial licked off seconds, min
utes and hours.
"This is the smallest watch ever
made" the jeweler said, land the only
one of its kind in the world. It took a
Geneva matchmaker the better part of
two years to tit the parts together SO
that they would work accurately. It
has been exhibited in London and
Paris"
The works of the watch were SO that
they fitted lengthwise in the holder.
The handspring was an elongated coil
of steel fitted to the wheels by a tiny
chain, and worked like an old fashioned
clock weight. The works were wound
by means of a little screw of gold on the
under side of the handle. A gold pei
was fitted in the holder, and the jewelel
wrote with it without disturbing tn,
operations of the fairy watch.

In our woodland painting place,

Did Sir Robin too deride us
Up against that Autumn sky,
On a tree which could not hide us
From his bright and merry eye?

In his mind a larder bare,
With us twain both crying coldly:.

Bustles are worn very large because
there is a tendency to do away with
masses of drapery on the tournure. The
separate hustle for each dress is a
cushion Or pillow of hair made thicker
than it was last season, and tackled
through with threads at intervals to
sewed permanently to the belt, and be-
low it are two steels run in castings
across the back of the foundation skirt.
When a pad hustle is objected to-,
modistes use a third steel in a casing
about eight inches below the belt, cut
ting it in two for the opening of the
placket-hole, and putting a hook and
eye at the end OF the easing to fasten it,

The Sacramento Medical Soc;

The Sacramento Medical Society
recently discussed the question how far
the drinking of the river water of that
city by its Inhabitants was responsible
for the constant presence of malaria
among them. A member stated that
the Cinnamon of Sacramento were al
ways free from the disease. Upon in
quiry he found that they never drank
the water except when it was made into
tea, and had therefore been boiled. One
Chinaman drank of the water and con-
tracted malaria, and he was so little of
a '.heathen" that he attributed his ILL
ness tt that indulgence.

Color Blindness.

The prevalence of color-blindness is,
in round numbers, ten times as great in
the male sex as in the female. The
facts rests upon the examination OF
many thousand persons in different
countries; and the examinations have
not only been conducted by trained
scientific observers perfectly familiar
with all the sources of error in come
ton with the subject, but also in such a
as to exclude the names OF
colors from consideration. The persons
examined have been required to match
sample colors by selection from among
a great variety of skeins of WOOL; and
only those have been set down as color
blind who commence by selecting some
shade of stone-color or drab as a match
for pale green. Further tests would
then determine whether the blindness
was to red, to green, to violet, OF to al
three. In England. among Elton boys,
PIG per cent. were found to be color.
blind in some form; and among males
of the laboring class the percentage
rose to nearly five.-M. Y. Post.

Slowly it swayed under the impulse of
