Courtship in Southern Italy.

Sudden passions like those OF Romeo
and Juliet are the rule rather than the
exception in the south, though they
rarely have so tragical an ending. A
young man catches a glimpse of girl,
and at once resolves to make her his
wife; if it is at church, he follows her
home; if on a balcony, he notes the
house and begins to haunt the street. If
he is acceptable, perhaps one day a
flower will fall at his feet, though the girl
knows that such encouragement is un-
maidenly. A lover with a good voice
and ear has an immense advantage.
He sings snatches OF love songs as he
walks below, and if % voice above
takes up the last note and
gradually passes to another song,
he may take heart. Whatever
difficulties ne may still have to en-
counter, an aversion on the part of
the object OF his affections will not be
one OF them. Very pretty tlirtations
are carried on in this way, the young
lady at times mocking and teasing her
admirer with fragments of satirical
verse, and at times falling into some
thing very like sentiment, but they
are more frequent alter than before
the betrothal Even the most favor
ed lover has in the meantime been seek
ing for some means of establishing q
more direct intercourse with the OBJ
ject OF his choice He has made in.

wishes and his position in life, and he
then begs her to plead his cause. Hhe
is an eligible suitor, she is almost GER
tain to consent, as the mission is an
interesting one, and the position is
considered highly honorable, She
knows nothing of any little signs of
favor the lover may have received, so
her first visit IS to the young lady,
who fegns shyness and reluctance
which it sometimes takes weeks to
overcome. At least the envoy is sup
posed to act thus; in fact, there is
generally perfect understanding be-
I tween her parents, though they pre-
tend to know nothing OF what is going
on After the maiden has given what
/ she considers q sufficient proof OF her
modesty, she yields. The father is
then consulted, the principal condi-
tlons OF the marriage contract dis
cussed, and the betrothal takes place.

A Quaint Story.

Odd Fellows Talisman.
1t is a beautiful story that in one
of the cities OF Italy the King caused
a bell to be hung in tower of one OF
the public squares, and called it the
''bell OF justice" and commanded
that any one who had been wronged
should go and ring the bell, and so
call the magistrate OF the city, and
ask and receive justice. And when,
in the course of time, the lower end
of the bell rope rotted away. wild
vine was tied to it to lengthen it; and
one day an old and starving horse
that had been abandoned by its owner
and turned out to die. wandered into
the tower and in trying to eat the
vine rang the bell. And the magistrate
of the city coming to see who had
rang the bell, found this old and
starving horse, and caused the owner
of the horse, in whose service he had
toiled and had been worn out, to be
summoned before him, and decreed
that as this poor horse had rung the
bell OF justice, he should have justice,
and that during the remainder of the
horses life his owneFshould provide
for him proper food and drink and
stable.

One of the Strange Features of
the Higher Alps.

Professor Brun has published in the
Archives de Geneve all interesting
study on the so-called lightning holes
to be found in the High Alps. He and
other investigators have found them
at nights of from 3,3lS to 1000 met
res, Or between II, 900 and 13, 900 feet
above the sea level. Usually they are
found on SUBMITS. Sometimes the
rocky mass, which bad been vitrified
in the passage OF the electric fluid, pre-
sents the appearance OF small scatter
ed pearls, sometimes of a series of
semispherical cavities only a few mill
imetres i'll diameter. Sometimes there
are vitrifed rays going out from a
central point to distance OF
four or five inches. Sometimes a
block detached from the mass ap-
pears as if bored through by Scannon-
ball. the followed passage being quite
vitrifed. The thickness OF this vitri-
fed coating or stratum never exceeds
a millimetre, and is sometimes not
more than the quarter OF that depth.
The varying colors which it presents

The Sword Test.

The swords for The English army
which are manufactured at Solingen,
Germany, are subjected to the follow
ing tests: The blade has first ofall to
lsupporl q weight of sixteen kilo-
gramlnes placed upon it's point, with
out showing the least DETECTION. This
pressure is then increased to such an
extentas to cause the bending blade
to shorten by sixteen centimetres, and
on its removal, to snap back perfect
" straight. A hard blow is then CIV
en-, first with the edge and next with
the back of the blade, or an iron
block. the prescribed curvature being
carefully measured. Then comes the
bending test, in which the blade is
subjected to q bend of ninety degrees,
from which it has to spring back into
the.straight line. Finally it is weighed,
and not until the centre of gravity is
carefully adjusted does the receiving
officer rpt his stamp on the blade.

The Perfect Woman.
Philadelphia Record.

Philadelphia Record
1t is foregone conclusion that the
chief end of woman is to marry.
And tits no less true that the question
OF marriage is one in which the women
OF the world are more nearly interest
ed than in any other. This being the
case, the wonder grows that there are
SO many ill-assorted marriages and
unhappy homes. A little common
sense in matrimonial affairs, although
1T may despoil the counting days OF
something OF their romance, is q very
good thing.
Man, of all animals, is the most sus-
ceptiblet creature comfort. A loving
heart and a caressing hand are very
alluring, but they lose some of their
enchantment if they forget to season
the soup'and show an utter disregard
for shirt buttons and sock heels.
man has an eye for beauty in his
wife. He notices the soft wave OF
her hair and the fit OF her gown with
sort OF pleasurable pride, even after
time and trials have dimmed the CLAM
our OF first love. The successful wife
must represent to her husband all the
virtues; must be sympathetic and at
the same time sensible. She must be
bright, entertaining and agreeable at
home as well as abroad, and she must
know how to preserve silence when it
is desirable to hold her tongue, even
though she is ready to burst with in
dignation. If she does not bossess
these qualities, let her cultivate them
most assiduously.
A woman's natural impulses lead
her to choose a ruler and guide in her
husband. Very few women desire to
rule the man to whom they link their
destiny. The true wife gives to her
husband her hearts best gift; she re-
joices in him, is proud ofhim and wish
es the whole world to be i'll sympathy
with him. But let hernot err in think
ing that her love can hold his. The
love which prompts unselfishness,
thoughtfulness and consideration is
very good, SO far as it goes; but it
must be tempered with common sense
so that in its absorption it does not
neglect the comfort OF the house and
forget to be agreeable and dainty.
