Legal PhraseOlOgy.

If man would, according to law,
give to another an orange, instead of
saying, Il give you that orange'-which
one would think would be what is call
ed in legal phraseology 'an absolute
conveyance of all right and title there
in'-the phrase would run thus: Il give
you all and singular my estate and in
terest, right, title and claim, and ad-
vantage of, and in that orange, with all
its rind, skin, juice, pulp, and pips, and
all right and advantage therein, with

WOman's Wit.

A woman's advice is generally worth
having; SO if you are in trouble, tell
your mother or your wife or your sister
all about it. Be assured that light will
at once flash upon darkness. Women
are commonly judged inexperienced in
all but pure womanish affairs No
philosophical student of the sex thus
judges them. There intuitions or in
sights are the most subtle, and if they
cannot see cat in the meal there is no
cat there. l advise man to keep none
of his affairs from his wife. Many homes
have been saved and many fortunes re-
trieved by men having full confidence
in their wives. AS general rule, the
wives confde the minutest of their plans
to their husbands. Why not recipro-
cater The men who succeed best in
life are those who make confdants OF
their wives.

'Yes-third house. They are very,
very nice people, and l know you'll like

When the minister rang the bell there
was some delay in answering it. Mean
while the screen doors permitted him
to hear from the interior. Brown, who
seemed to be upstairs, called over the
banisters:

At this juncture the minister was
ushered in, and Mrs. Brown soon enter
ed the parlor, extended both hands, and
gaily exclaimed:
'Ahl I'm SO glad Solomon and |
both wanted to see you so much! Solo

And Solomon came down, painted a
grin on his face, and greeted the good

A Good Word for American Girls.

American girls are apt to hear, with
good deal of irritation, any criticism
on their habits and manner from foreign
ers, but they will publicly listen with
patience to the impressions of one of
their own countrymen on this subject,
on his return home after a prolonged
absence of years in Europe. He is a
man well known in the scientific world,
and gave his impressions to reporter
of the Albany Express.
when l came back, he said, lately,
Il felt like stranger. People and
things had receded into an unfamiliar
distance. l believed that judged them
wholly without prejudice, as would
have done of things and people in Nor
way and Sweden.
my first thought when saw the
young girls of Boston and New York
was, that nowhere in any country had |
found so much distinction in the faces
of women. Nor is this delicacy confined
to the gentler sex.
The daughters of many an American
mechanic nave aristocratic features,
which would become the princesses of
The houses of Hapsburg and Guelph
better than do their own. The claims
of long descent have often resulted in
heavy, sudden sensual traits-the results
of high living and inactivity; while the
daughter of our workmen frequently has
the fine, sensitive features which are
supposed to indicate generations of
gentle blood and thorough breeding.
'The American girl is more keen
witted and better informed than her
English sister; her sympathles are finer.
She has taste in dress and tact of
manner wholly wanting to the other.
Her gown or her words are never often
sive. She is brilliant, virtuous, friend
ly-but she is not womanly. Men like
to protect woman, and the chief aim
of American girls is to show that they
need no protection. Hence the dullest,
homeliest European woman has charm
which most American women lack.
The President of Quaker college
where co-education is the rule, was
wont to point his mixed classes of boys
and girls to couple of trees growing
in the midst of the campus.
THAT elm is as tall as the oak he
would say. 1T is as green, and as deep
rooted and as useful. But it is not an
oak, and does not try to be-.
The good old Quaker had the key
word of the secret. There has been,
since the war, such struggle among
many of our women to force their way
into the career, the education, and the
civil rights hitherto monopolized by
men, and to show that they are intel
lectually their equals, that they forget
that they really are not men, but have
graces and rights exclusively their own.
A young girl enters a ballroom, a
street car, or church, with the air Il
can take care of myself. Hence she is
left to take care of herself, which usually
is, secretly, the last thing she desires.

The Millennium.

What will we do when the good days come?
When the prima donna's lips are dumb;
And the man who reads us his "little things"
Has lost his voice like the girl who sings;
When stilled is the breath of the cornet man,
And the shrilling chords of the quartette clan,
When neighbors' children have lost their drums
Oh, what will we do when the good time comes
Oh, what will we do in that good, blithe time,
When the tramp will work-oh, thing sublime!
And the scornful dame who stands on her feet
Will "Thank you, sir," for the proffered seat;
And the man you hire to work by the day
Will allow you to do his work your way;
And the cook who tryeth your appetite
Will steal no more than she thinks is right;
When the boy you hire will call you "Sir,"
Instead of "Say" and "Guvener;"
When the funny man is humorsome-
How can we stand the millennium?

Banking Intelligence
Teras Sifinqs.


He wanted a position in an Austin
bank. The president was satisfied with
his credentials, but before engaging him
put him through little civil service
cross examination.
Suppose now, man was to come in
here to deposit twenty dollars in one
dollar bills, how would you count them?'
I'D wet my finger and lift up each
bill until l got the to last one
why would you not lift up the last

Because there might possibly be one
or more bills under it, and if the depos-
itor was to see it he would want it back,
but if the twentieth bill is not lifted up
and there should be another bill in the

Once, on q summer day,
Far from the beaten way,
Some fairy babe me stray
Cupid, mayhap.
Under leafy tree,
Whom should I chance to see,
Whom but my Rosalie,
Taking nap?
There in a lovely nook,
Screened from intruder's look,
Near her neglected book,
Slumbering she lay.
What could a fellow do?
Tell me, sir, wouldn't you
.Kneel and take one or two
Kisses away?
All, but I broke the spell
Opened her eyes, and-well,
Could I do else than tell
How it was broke?
Humbly for grace I plead;
Sternly she shook her head;
"Couldn't you wait" she said,
"Till I awoke!"
