BARBER AND SALES-GIRL.
A Tender Love Romance of the Decidedly
Modern School.

"My beautiful Choolie, l neffer tire
of luking at your lofely hair
The young couple sat in the elegant
parlor of a hotel, enjoying tete-a-tete.
They were on their wedding tour.
Julia Van Slankins, the beautiful Penn
sylvania heiress, who had met the dis
tinguished foreign nobleman, Count de
Bergamot, while on a visit to her friends
in the metropolis, had yielded to the
impulsive ardOr with which the Count
pressed his suit, and after brief court
ship the two were married. Life
looked blissful and romantic to the &C.
static young couple, and "a future full
of rose-embowered vistas, endless
moonlight reveries, and the dreamy
dolce far niente of far away tropical
Edens, whose existence was guessed by
both, but unspoken by either, rose be-
fore their rapturous vision.
The head of the beautiful bride
rested confdingly on the shoulders of
her husband, the noble Count de Ber-
gamot, and at the sound of his voice
she looked up.
Il am glad, my dear Count" she
said, THAT my hair pleases YOU
Lifting the lovely head from his
shoulder, the noble foreigner ran his
fingers through the wavy masses of her
golden hair for few moments in ST.
lence, and then with deferential, sug-
gestive infection OF voice, he absently
said
Have q shampoo, sir?"
Recovering himself as his bride
looked at him with II start Of surprise,
he drew from his pocket a rather lean
wallet, took bank note from it and
handed it to her,
"My tear Choolie," he said, ''let me
hat to happiness of Citing you my first
present of pin-monish!'
The fair bride took the note, looked
at the figures that indicated its denom-
ination, tapped in a mechanical way on
the center table, and called out in u
shrill voice:

not be willing to be themselves? No person

which you wish, why let what you have

the world is exactly like you You have
your own faults, but you have also
your own excellencies individual to
yourself. GiUe them air Because you are
not poet, should you not be good mer-
chantl Because you can not go to college,
should you therefore forswear the alpha

Plague of Rats in China.

A late number of the Pekin Gazette
contains an announcement that reads
like one of Grimm's fairy tales. 1t is
to the effect that it will be necessary to
change certain postal routes in Outer
Mongolia because of the appearance of
swarms of rats. For two years past
the pasturage in this region has suf-
fered much, and last year the grass
was nearly all eaten by these vermin.
The whole country mas been honey
combed by their burrowing, Camels
and horses are suffering for food, and
the courier service throughout this dis
trict can not safely be continued be-
cause the burrows are source OF
danger to all mounted travellers

Sleepless people, and there are many in
America, should court the SUM- The very
worst soporiic is laudanum, and the very
best sunshine Therefore it is very plain
that poor sleepers should pass as many
hours as possible in the sunshine and as
few as possible in the shade. Many women
are martyrs, and yet they do not know it,
They shut the sunshine out of their houses
and their hearts, they wear walls, they car
ry parasols, they do all possible to keep off
the subtlest and yet most potent influence
which is intended to give them strength
and beauty and cheerfulness. 1t is not
time to change this, and so get color and

weak backs and courage in their timid

and delicate, they may be blooming and
