Complicated Opening Of Romance.

About two years before the war, near
pretty and substantial residence near
prosperous little town, beautiful
young girl. about IA, was sleeping in a
hammock swung from two stately oaks
in grove. She was pretty picture of
innocence and grace, and won the ad-
miration of the passers. In a meadow
to the rear, fat, fneek-cyed cow re-
clined in the shade, Eliminating tho
food she had gathered in the cool of the
morning. But what has the COW to do
with the sleeping girl? is propounded;
well, wait and see. Across the road
from the house, the girl and COW is a
meadow, a branch running through it,
and coming up the branch is boy with
gun. When within 100 yards of the
girl, and about $50 from the COW, bird
flew up and scared in the air toward
the COW; the boy fired at the bird,
which flew on unhurt, but the COW re-
ceived pretty strong dose of shot; she
Immediately arose in fright, dashed
through the grove, caught the girl and
hammock on her horns and rushed with
her shrieking victim about the lot. The
terrified girl became silent, and the
crowd of relatives and friends in pur.
suit thought she was dead. The wild
fury of the COW as she rushed around
soon tore the netting loose, and the girl
dropped unconscious to the ground.
unhurt. She was picked up and taken
into the house, and on examination only
few minor bruises were found. The
boy, thinking he was the innocent cause
OF the killing of the young girl, disap-
peared. All trace of HIM vanished. 1t
was thought that he had persisted by
his own hand; but about six years after
tho war a travel-stained stranger was in
town inquiring for persons, most of
whom had been swept away by the
war. After q long search the stranger
found an old man on load of wood
and in conversation with him learned
where one of the parties he was in
search of lived, few miles out of town.
He went there, made himself known,
and turned out to be the boy of the gun.
The people he found were his father and
mother, who had mourned him dead
for eight years. The boy had been in
South America, got rich, and yearning
for the love of the old folks, returned to
the desolated home of his childhood,
and made his loved ones comfortable.
For the first time then, hearing that the
girl was uninjurcd, he called on her,
found her pretty, good, and first-class
home woman. He put in with a will,
got her heart us his own, and the old
folks consent, and has been for the last
twelve or fourteen years one of the lead
ing men of his section. This is n fact.

The Hairy Covering Of the Gorilla.

The hairy coat of the gorilla consists
of long, thick, straight or stiflly curved
bristles, and also of shorter, thinner.
and curled woolly hair. On the crown
of his head the hair is somewhat stiff,
from twelve to twenty millimetres in
length. and it becomes erect under the
influence of anger. While the sides and
fore part of the chin are only clothed
with short, stiff hairs. they grow thickly
on the back part of the chin, like a
beard or forelock. The hairs which
turn outward from the sides of the face
and on the neck are thirty or more MILL
metres in length. On the shoulders the
hair is from one hundred and thirty to
one hundred and fifty millimctres long,
hanging down on the upper arms and
the back. In the middle of the upper
arm the hair is from fifty to seventy
millimetres long, growing downward as
far as the bend of the elbow. At this
point it generally begins to grow in an
upward direction. On the back of the
forearm it again grows downward. In
the middle of the forearm, on its inner
side, Il parting of the hairs takes place,
us one portion goes in front of the
radius, while the other portion turns be.
hind the nina. On the back of the
wrist tuft of curved hair turns upward
q middle tuft goes directly back; and a
lower tuft, also curved. turns outward.
On the back of the hand the hairs turn
toward the fingers. On the breast and
belly the hairs are shorter and grow
more sparscly. On the breast their di-
rection is, us II rule, upward and out
ward. On the belly they converge from
the ribs toward the center and the navel.
On the thighs the hairs are about one
hundred and sixty millimetres long. and
here, as on the lower part of the leg,
they tend outward, while on the back OF
the foot they grow toward the toes. On
the back. shoulders, and on the thigh
and leg. the bristles are slightly curved.
This quality increases the general inn
preston of shaggincss and the fleeciness
which is produced by the hairy coat OF
these creatures. The woody hair does
not grow very thick, and is not much
matted. - RObcH Hartmann IN Popular

Awkwardness of Men in society

1t is very curious how few of the men
in society" know what to do with their
hands. To nine men out Of ten the
walking-stick in the hall while making
call is n matter of positive misery, and
makes it decidedly case of abandon
hope, all We who enter here" What a
difference between men and women in
this respect! Watch man enter a
drawing-room while making an after
noon call without his hat. After shak-
ing hands with his hostess and making
few cursory remarks, and maybe being
presented to some people, his hands in
stinctivcly seek his pockets and stay
there until he is absolutely obliged to
take them out, while look of boredom
and helplessness comes over his face.
Mark the same man enter the room with
his hat in his hand; it is only an inani-
mate object-a thing of cardboard and
silk; but it makes world of difference
to its owners comfort and presence of
mind at that unhappy moment; 1t is
something to handle, something to rely
on, and il conversation fails him he can
any how smooth it and have something
to occupy. His hands. At musicale he
can look inside, and for the thousandth
time read the makers name and feel
happy, as it saves him from gazing at
the chandelier. while his auricular sense
is being assailed by what he does not
understand.
A woman, on the contrary, will enter
q room without even a muff, chat with
her hostess. and eventually sit down
with an at-homc air, which ut all events
gives the on-looker the impression of
perfect case. Then, ut a bali. not one
man out of thousand can walk across
the room when the floor Is empty, and
walk naturally and unconsciously. In
10 his pockets his hands go before half
the distance has been travcrsed. and the
man is happy once again and drops the
sumod. Until lately fashion allowed
men n sheet-anchor Mt balls, by permit
ting them to carry crush hats, the moral
support of which allowed them to be at
all events natural and seem at ease.
Why can not they carry them nowp 1t
gave them distinguished air, which at
present Is sadly lacking. Women have
their fans and can toy with them. Why
not allow the male sex small some
thing to relieve their fcclings.-M y

him what he knew not, or by MAX
ing new man out of him? Re-
Gently in conversation with min
lister of the Gospel on this subject,
he said that education has the ten
dency to wean most of our young
men from good, honest work, and
after they had gone to school for
some time they are inclined to loaf
er too much and seek an easy place
to make living, which leads too
many to take nigh cuts TO make
money. John Ruskin has this TO
say in writing on this subject:
"A mans happiness consists in
finitely more in admiration of the
faculties of others than in conf
dence in his own. That reverent
admiration is the perfect human
gift in him; all lower animals are
happy and noble in the degree they
can share it. A dog reverences
you; fly does not. The capacity
of partly understanding a creature
above him, is the dogs nobility.
Increase such reverence in human
beings and you increase daily their
happiness, peace and dignity: take
1t away and you make them wretch
ed As well as vile. But for fifty
years back modern education has
devoted itself simply to the teach
ing of impudence, and then we
complain that we cannot manage
our mobs." Besides Ruskin there
are other eminent writers who
speak somewhat in the same way
concerning our modern system of
education.

EDITORS TIMES:


What is to be thought of the spir-
it manifested among our teachers
in our modern system of education.
Since reading "Novus Homo" in
your last issue, which is one little
complaint among thousands of 9TH
ers have heard in time past. Are
we to look on our boosted sys-
tenn of education in the light of a
mOnstrOus sham? Is it not very
imprudent in our young men and
ladies (whOm we have educated) to
manifest a spirit of envy? If edu-
cation is what we claim it to be,
why is it that we cannot be salts
fed simply with an education? If
it co-exists with Christianity and
we call it feast, and we have been
invited to that feast, or are par
taking thereof, we should first take
low or humble seat, and if we see
one of our brothers at the feast
called up to higher seat for "thir-
ty pieces of silver" or thirty dol
lars month to teach, why then,
our education, I think, if it is the
right kind, will still teach us to be
humble and not envious. The way
we act don't it cause sensible men
to think that We are to be looked
on as the regular politician, who
We say, is studying more how to
obtain the dollars and cents in the
Office he is aspiring to than to serve
the people.

UNION SUNDAY SCHOOL PicEiC.
A Big Time Anticipated. The Pro.
qvan in a Nutshell.

Two Sundays ago each Sunday
School in Maryville appointed a
committee of four to consider the
ACCESSIBILITY of a Union Sunday
School picnic. The committee met
in the NJ. E. Church last week to
consider the matter. 500 I
Mr.. H. M. Sheriff. was elected
chairman, and Mrs. l.. Huddleston
secretary. After a short and in
teresting speech by the chairman,
he stated the object of the meeting.
Not many minutes were lost in de-
batting the subject and when a mo-
ton for the picnic was put not a
dissenting voice was heard. Quite
lengthy discussion on the time re-
suited in the choice of Saturday,
May %.
On motion two committees were
appointed by the chairman, both
consisting of a representative from
each school. The committee on
location reported John Duncan's
Grove as suitable and convenient
place of resort. This committee
will see that the grounds are in
good condition.
The committee on program re-
ported as follows:
The various Sunday Schools of
Maryvillle will meet at the Bap-
fist Church, on High Street. Satur-
day morning at such an hour as will
enable them to leave the Church at
10 o'clock. Schools will march to
grove, preceded by the brass band.
The exercises at the grounds will
commence at II o'clock with Rev.
d. Mcdonald as presiding officer.
The superintendent of each of the
five schools will deliver an address
of three minutes. Music will be
furnished by the band and by a
choir composed of two representa-
tives of each school.
Thus it will be seen that brevity
was aimed at by the committee
having the programme in charge.
The exercises will probably not last
longer than 45 minutes. After the
benedictiOn has been pronounced
there will be scene Of confusion.
The ladies will have well filled bas.
kets of something that will do to
eat. An excellent spring is on the
grounds and all will be able to eat,
drink and be merry. Lay aside
all business schemes, bake your
