A Neat Social Device.

A young man of this city who prides
himself upon his popularity among the
young women really deserves it, for he
studies to please. He carefully reads
the society columns of the newspapers,
looking for the names of young ladies
from out of town who are visiting fam
lies where he has q calling acauain-
lance. When he finds such q name he
goes to the newspaper Office and looks
over the exchanges to fnd st.s newsra-
pers published in the ,oSn from where
the visitor comes. Then he reads up
on the local news O: the place, gets ia
miliar with the names of the citizens
through the advertisements, and then
supplied with information he calls upon
the young woman and interests her
much by his apparent familiarity of
what is going on at her home.-Grifn

aTHARR IS A TIME TO MOURN"
BIZ ROBERT J. BURDETTE.

II Lenten skies alone were dull and graz,
II only hills were bare and mead Jws cold;
II on the icy shore alone all day
The sobbing waves in plaintive breakers
rolled;
II only waiting March winds moaned ana sighed,
II but the drifting clouds wept bitter tears.
II but the hills and winds and pillows cried,
And mourned for wasted days Of blightsd
years;
Why. I could laugh then: for my heart would sing
OF summer days gone by and yet to be;
For Easter lilies would be blossoming
Beneath the sombrs pail Of Lent for me.
Iwould not care for dull and weeping clouds
In the light heart there shines unfading light ;
But when the light itself in sorrow shreuds.
How dark and rayless is that sorrows night
Here IL my sorrow-that in reckless Ways
1 crushed the buds last Easter time that
smiled;
maze,
And with my sins tho fair new life defiled.
30, penitent, again my beads I tell,
Bring me old hair shirt used to wear,
Hand me the sackcloth robe that fits so vel,
And lead me to the dust heap over there.
Here let me sit and sigh the hours away,
Taking weary sinners good old cry;
Heap on the dust: here will I sit all day.
Counting my beads while all the world goes by.
Here In The dust and penitence Of Lent,
Till all those penitential days are gone
And when, 1T last this mourning life il spent,
Still in the dust I'll slumber on and on.

A japanese Genesis.

In the beginning all things were in
chaos. Heaven and earth were not
separated. The world foated in the
cosmic mass like fish in the water,
or the yelk in an egg. The ethereal
matter sublimed and formed the
heavens, while the residuum formed the
present earth, from the mold of which
q germ sprouted and became q self
animate being, from which sprang all
the gods.
On the floating bridge of Heaven
appeared q man and woman of celes-
tial origin. The male plunged .
jeweled spear into the unstable waters
beneath them, and Withdrawing it, the
trickling drops formed an island upon
which they descended.
The creative pair, divine man and
woman, designing to make this island
the pillar for q continent. separated,
the male to the left, the female to tho
right, to make journey around the
island. When they met the woman
spoke first, saying, How joyful to
meet lovely mani"
The man, offended that the first use
of the tongue had been by q woman,
that the journey be repeated,
after which he cried ont exultingly,
How joyful to meet lovely womanl !"
Thus ensued the proper subsection;
and this, according to the ancient idea
of Japan, Was the origin of the human
race and the art Of love.-Ouerland

Some Funny Sixns.

Following this cue the reporter b.
gan to cast his eyes about him in hin'
walk along Market street. The first
sign that attracted his particular alton
ton was one that hangs in front of : !

upon which, in letters that evidently
emanated from the marking pot, sp-
peared the words:

little practical Joke on the part OF the
merchant, the reporter did not know,
but as down" without any false repre-
sentation on the seller, or without con-
veying the fact that they are any cheap
er than they have been before.
Then the reporter began to scratch
his intelligent Uranium ard ssuntered
back to the Office. As he crossed the
street near the pants factory, he saw
small sign hanging to post, and going
little closer, read the startling intelli-
gence:
Female Pants Makers Wanted"
Comment was unnecessary, and the
scribe went on his way.
A few minutes later he picked up q
Richmond, Va, paper, and in the
want" column read the advertisement
OF tobacco manufacturing firm, which
was worded in this way:
Wanted-four girls to strip in to-
bacco factory.
Just underneath this was another
small "ad.," stating:
"For Rent-Two rooms furnished

Ye gods! The reporters brain began
to reel, and in spisa OF himself he began
to wonder what the world is coming to.

wore Russian peasants dress at Mar
ragansett Pier, two summers's ago, and
at that time it was called perfectly
hideous," but now it is being widely
copied. It is made of dark blue cam

These are the dresses young girls will
wear at teas, where the beverage will
be poured from samovar into cut
glass tumblers instead of cups, and
with thin slices of lemon floating in
them. The married women when they
serve tea will wear Russian tea-gowns,
which are trailing robes of white silk
trimmed down the front and around
the neck and heels with q broad band
of black fur. They will call their teas
prazdnick, and will serve the drink
boiling hot, as is the fashion in the land
of the Gear. Russian music will be all
the rage, too. and the bands which play
at receptions are already practicing the
compositions of Dvoark and the other
Russian composers Small and select
ladies' luncheons will be intensely Rus

After the usual consomme, bird, salad,

Turkish cigarettes and Russian torch

is to sip the coffee between the puffs of
the cigarette. -Ne,u York Times.

Cash for Armenian Brides.

An American living in the interior OF
Asia Minor writes as follows:
"From time immemorial it has been
the universal custom in our country to
do all kinds of business on trust. The
merchant sells his goods and the far
mer his wheat, sheep and oxen on
time, varying from one month to year
or more, but the trade in Armenian
girls has always been strictly cash in
advance up to the present day.
"This last winter two girls in our
regions were married, but as the way
in which the business was done at
tracted my attention, I wish to tell the
story to the readers of your paper. A
year ago priest in the village of S.
lent 800 piasters to a man in the vii
lage of K. on condition that he would
pay eighteen measures of oil as inter-
est At the end of the year the priest
demanded his money and his oil, but as
the man had neither money nor oil, he
said to the priest: Come, I will give
my girl to your son, and reckon the
debt on her price The priest agreed
to this, saying: we have seen your
daughter; so send for her and we will
marry them The debtor sent for his
girl, and the priest made preparations
for the wedding, thinking that the bar
gain was complete. But not so the
father. He said: Give me 500 pias-
ters more and you may have the girl
The priest. being hard up, said: I
have no ready money, but after the
wedding is over I will find the money
and pay you To this the father re-
piled: I will not give my girl on time
Finally the priest raises the money and
the ceremony is performed.
~The story of the second is as fol-
lows: A young man from the village
of X. was engaged to . girl in the vii
lage of G., but as his money fell short
of the sum demanded by $50 piasters
he tried to borrow that sum in the vii
lage, but no one would trust him. As
he would not have time to go to his
own village and get the money before
the beginning Of Lent, during which no
one could marry, he finally persuaded
some one to lend hin an OK, which he
brought to the girls father as security
till he could raise the money. The girls
iather agreed to this and they were
married. When they came out of
church the girls fa.hsr took then beth
