Old Gentleman was placated.

A friend Of mine related TO me last
night his experience in reconciling a
testy old fellow to the marriage engage
ment of his fayorite daughter. Ny in
formant being discreet and benevolent
character and intimate with all the per-
sons concerned, was persuaded by the
young people to interccde on their be-
half. He undertook the task with no
little hesitation and the reception which
his Overturcs met was not calculated to
raise any hopes. He began by repre-
senting to paterfamiias the exceeding
cleverness of his son in law and the bril-
liant future which certainly lies before
HIM. This, however, produced rot the
least effect and he succeeded no better
when he fell back on the young mans
moral qualities ami solid worth. At last
the potential father-in law exclaimed:
snow you have told me lot OF stuff in
praise of this fellow who WALLIS to marry
my daughter-be honest and say what
there is to he said agains him.
Being thus taken in flank, as it were,
the family friend. n ridiculously consci-
entious person, admitted with some hcsi-
tation, that the matrimonial aspirant is
rather unpopular, that his manners are
not pleasant, that he is supposed 20 be
sullen ut times, ETC., etc. "Hum," said
the old gentleman, pricking up his ears,
elias he many friends" "NO," the 60
between confessed. 81 am afraid not"
'Well, the stern parent declared, un-
bending mt last, 81 don't know but what
Fanny may have him if she likes. He
is evidently disagreeablc enough. but. in
my opinion, the kind of man that ,ou
describe makes pretty safe husband.
Your jolly. popular men are always
spending othec peoples money and de-
voting themselves to other peoples
wives. Fanny is sensible girl and if
she wants to marry this young fellow, l
won't stand in the way"

"Nasal Voices. Catarrh and False
Teeth

A prominent English woman says the
American women all have high, shrli, nasal
woes and false teeth.
Americans don't like the constant twittinr
! they get about this nasal twang. and yet it is
fact caused by orr dry stimulating atmos-

Tramps in Germany.

In Germany beggary has vastly in
creased since the war. Tramping, too,
is easier since the abolition of the strict
law of settlement, which made n pass
necessary for everyone going outside his
native territory. The French milliards
made the Germans fancy they had sud
denly become fabulously rich. Every
body launched ont; the most frugal
nation in Europe became a nation of
spendthrifts and spectators. New rail.
ways were planned in all directions:
every third-ratc town began 60 build
grand suburbs. This drew thousands
of laborers off the land, and when the
bubble burst and the nation realized the
fact that the milliards were not i'm cir
culation Mt all, but locked up in the
treasure vaults Mt Berlin, these were
thrown out of work and obliged to GO
on tramp. Most of these tramps are
literally homeless, having no place to
which they are legally chargcable, and
employers are very shy of keeping any
of them long enough to give them a
claim on the rates. No wonder, then,
that German tramps are beginning to
form packs, like the wolves. Such
pack will swOop down on lonely village,
while the men are away in the fields,

a pursuit and prosecutcs, that means a

A BALL OF SNAKES.
The Curious Sight Witnessed by a
Locomotive Engineer in Florida.

While a train on the South Florida
was below Kissimilia, thirty nine miles
south of here, the engineer was treated
to novel sight. At this point the road
runs through swamp, and the grade is
but slightly higher than the water and
mud. While going along at a fair speed.
the engineer noticed queer ball or
bunch of something, about 100 yards
ahead in the centre of the track The
morning was somewhat foggy and rather
cold. Before he could clearly see if it
was really an obstruction, the engine
was almost on it. Then, to his amaze
ment, he saw it was ball of snakes,
They were all rolled and twined in to-
gether, with their heads sticking out in
all directions, and about the bulk of n
bushel basket The engine struck them
fair and threw the bunch into the air,
when it burst, and the snakes flew in all
directions, some on the cowcatcher,
Others on the engine and one or two
managed to alight near the cab.
The engineer says the snakes were all
colors and sizes and kinds, the big black
snakes predominating. He saw them
squirming on the running gear of tie
engine, and he put on an extra head of
steam and pulled ahead as fast as posi-
BILE. At the next station. some five
miles below, the crowd at the platform
gave the locomotive wide berth. An
examination and search revealed over
ten big black whip, COW and water
snakes. The section master afterward
said it was a common sight on cold,
frosty mornings to see such snake balls.
Where the engine struck the mass the
remains of fifteen serpents were found, a
few large. 1t is said probably $50 and
over were together when disturbed.
