Roman Lunches Not Popular.

Our demoiselles are giving lunch parties
each of which has distinct color-yellow,
pink, blue or green. At one given the
table was lighted by tapers of yellow wax
IN yellow shades, there was profusion OF
yellow tulips, the dinner service was
decked with bowls of yellow ribbon, and
the guests wore more or less yellow. A
Roman lunch was proposed by classical
dansel, but was found 10 be rather incon-
venient, especially the custom Of serving

bird course, that in due time nature
might supply & receptacle for more good
cheer. Such a practice would not find
much favor here.

Original Method of Courtship.

The principal exhibit in evidence in
a recent divorce suit IA Il hymn book.
The plaintiff and defendant had occupi-
ed places side by side in church, and
their acquaintance had really begun in
the pew with the young mans polite
attentions over the hymns. He found
the places in the book, and shared it
with his fair neighbor. From that
sprang friendship, which in time mer-
ged into affection. The fellows
method of courtship was neat and
original. After finding the hymn that
the pastor had given out, lie would fol-
low it through while 1t was being read
from the pulpit, and deity underscore
words and phrases that conveyed his
sentiments to the girl. OF course. as
she came across these marked hymns,
as they were being melodlously and i'm
pressively sung they impressed roman
tically.
Further along in this process of WOO
Ing the sutton got to lnterlineations, so
that the reverential lines of the hymns
were garbled and extended to serve his
passionate meaning. just how far this
hymnal courtship was supplemented by
spoken words is a matter about which
the parties differ radically, but the
hymn book serves as an indubitable
record. The girl doesn't seem to have
lost her presence of mind for a moment,
however, on these occasions Of mingled
piety, poetry and passion, for she COOL
ly dated each Of the amended verses.
Thus she preserved in chronological Or
der. the chaps pencilings, and she hopes
that the hymn book will be worth S10.-
600, that being the sum for which she
has made ready to sue.

SLIDING Doors FOR BARNs.-some
one sensibly observes that the advan-
tages of sliding doors for barns are so
great that they should entirely super
sede the old. fashioned sort which
swing on hinges. On the slide they
are more secure from breaking and
%wrenching by violent winds, aud are
easily opened for any distance in any
kind OF weather. The supports cost a
little more than hinges, but the extra
expense is more than compensated by
the greater durability. aside from the
saving in material a q sliding door
may be very slight. Those about
building or repairing barns will do
well to note and remember this sugges-
ton.

This is a funny phrase to the uninitiated,
but all the brokers understand it. They
use 1t when u person gives a certain per
cent. for the option of buying or selling
stock on a fixed day, at q price stated on
the day the option is given. 1t is often a
serious operation to the dealer. but there is
a more serious ''put and call" thar this:
when you are ''put'' to bed with a severe

Kept Home by The Weather.

A rain storm is really no excuse for

up to protect her from the rain.

Csrilizing a Somephat noisy creature.
Berlin engineers have adopted two
different systems for diminishing the
noise of trains on their vladucts. One
is, to bolt to the bridge structure long
troughs of sheet-iron, about sixteen
inches wide, 30 arranged that a rail will
come in the centre Of each. The
trouehs are then filled with gravel, In
The middle of which is buried the long
ltudinai timber carrying the rail; and
the space between the troughs is COW
cred with iron plates, on which Is
spread a thin layer Of gravel. The
second method. which is found to be
more efficient than the other. consists
in placing a continuous series of
shallow iron troughs, about 8 feet
square, along the line Of tracks. These
are filled with gravel, on which the
ties and rails are laid.
