It is curious fact that rich relatives are apt to be distant ones.-Burli11gto' (N) Free Press.
 When you see a woman meekly obey her husband you can be sure of one or two things-she is either afraid of him or is working him for new bonnet.
 The way to prevent young wife from threatening to ''go back to mamma" is to invite mamma to come to you. This is not a homeopathic remedy Detroit Free Press.

 Sensible people wear sensible fashions, and insensible people insensible fashions" l"
 Another hopeful of hers, writing on the subject "A Rainy Afternoon" evolved from an inner consciousness deeper than that of Josh Billings, the following sent ence:
 "It rained hard, and could not go ow- doors, and so went out in the shed and sod some wood"

MATRIMONIAL ODDITIES.

Two Peculiar Cases Which Came Under
 the Observation of Syracuse Clergy
 man.
 "A while ago couple came to be married, accompanied by the brides parents and one or two other relatives" said local clergyman, "and I at first refused to perform the ceremony be- cause of the extreme youthfulness of the bride. She was a pretty little girl, with light flaxen hair and blue innocent eyes, and did not appear to be more than twelve or thirteen years of age. Her parents, however, insisted that she was sixteen, and were very anxious that should marry her to the groom, fine- looking young German of twenty-one. The girl was more than willing, and I finally consented. The mother re- marked as the knot was tied: 'Therei I'm glad it's done. She mightn't "a had another chance in many year. l hope the poor little thing is happy.
 "A fine, healthy-looking young farm CT came in one night with a large fe- male of uncertain age and apparently decided strength of mind, and desired the usual service. Witnesses were sum- moned and the ceremony was about to begin when the door-bell rang twice in quick succession, and moment after a portly, well-dressed lady rushed breath less into the room and shouted with her last breath before sinking exhausted into chair: Don't you marry him, you can have it!' The explanation was that the woman about to get married was the others cook, and had left her in fit of pique because shc would not raise her wages. "-Syra use iStGfldard.

"HIDE-YoUR-EYEs." !"

A Chinese Play and Game-So1g very
 Similar to Some American Games.
 "Loy Vow, bright, red-cheeked little Chinese girl, ''blinded'' her eyes, and the rest of the players fell into line with their hands held open in. cup shape behind them, while Wong Hay circlcd around the line lightly touching the open hands as she passed, and crooning in peculiar Chinese sing song tone the following little game song, much as American children sing: Tread, tread the green grass" or "Green gravel, green gravel, how green the grass grows":
 Come maidens all; and stand in line.
 Put back your fiower-lke hands to mine
 The pledge now it flies. flies away
 To tine Eastern land-the land of day. Iris the lantern feastl Ninth moon com

 Now, maidens, lift your fower-like
 hands,
 To Loy Vow, whom they now called "Hide-Your-Eyes'', Wong Hay now sang.
 Come. thundersh with all your
 power.
 And open this four.hngered fowerr
 Meantime, as she sang, she had drop ped into one of the hands the little pledge-a thimble or some little keep sake selected for the occasion, much as American children use button in a similar game At the words: 'Maidens, lift your golden-tlOwer hands, as it is literally translated, all the hands were raised high above their heads, but closely shut, so that none could tell who held the little pledge.
 At the words addressed to ''Hide- Your-Eyes'', Loy Vow came out from the shed, and, using long stick as if it were wand, pointed to the one whom she suspected of having the little pledge.
 She was not successful, however, for the hands opened and nothing was found there So she had to try it all over; while Wong Hay walked about again, and sang the little oriental mel ody.
 The second time, she looked very closely into the faces of her Chinese playfellows, and she saw so funny a look on Qui Fans that she immediate ly pointed her out. Qui Fans hands were opened amid much laughter and 'merriment, and there was the sought for keepsake! Then they changed places, and Qui Fah became Hide Your-Eyes" .-EllG Sterling Ca0aniraS, in St. Nicholas.
