How to Coax a Man to Propose.

An elderly man was telling q group
Of g1ddy young girls the other day how
he proposed to his wife when he was
a young man. She was sewing ut the
time, he said, or he never would have
had the courage to do Ii. II girls would
sew he thinks they would have more
matrimonial chances. Sewing he con
siders the best accomplishment that u
woman can have. A woman engaged
with u needle has q domestic, homelike
air that is irresistible to q man who
loves her. 1t is a picture Of what she
would be in her own home and makes
him long tina. 1t should be his also.
How can . mar propose to q girl who
sits straight up in her chair staring at
him with a pair Of bright eyes? But
when she Is bending gracefully over a
bit OF plain or fancy sewing, apparently
absorbed in counting the stitches, and
the arrows Of her eyes are sheathed for
a few minutes, he piucks up courage
enough to offer her his heart and hand.
The average young man b bashful in
such affairs, though bold enough at
other times, and needs encouragement
and opportunities. What sort Of en-.
enlargement is a pair Of bright eyes
staring into his, watching his embar-
rassment? Listen to the advice Of an
old man who has been all through 1t;
drop your eyes and give the young man
a chance. Remember this, girls, when
the favorite young man drops in to
make an evening visit, get out your bit
Of fancy work and look domestic, and
with every stitch of your needle you
will bind his heart more firmly to your
own.
This is the advantage that the Eng
lish girls are said TO possess over the
American girls-they are domestic; II
they shine less brilliantly In society than
their American sisters their domestic
virtues shed a steady luster In their
houses. This. Of course. Is looking at
the question from an English point OF
view. The American girls are capable
of doing both; domesticity IS not incom-
patible with q social brilliancy, and
many of society's queens r careful
housekeepers, keeping their sweetest
words and smiles for their own homes.

How wisely do they act who take no
anxious thought for the morrow, but
are attentive according to present abili-
ty, to the duties Of the present day.
Secret and refined sins are as danger
Gus as open and gross ones. A man
may preach fervent sermons, but if he
does so from emulation, or love of popu-
larity, lie is as much In the flesh as the
sinners who tremble in the pews beneath
him.
The value of the individual freedom
Is never more co~nspicuously seen than
where it is used as the fulcrum Of self
sacrifice. Man is greatest. when, hav-
ing received his freedom, he lays it free
ly down for the sake of others. He is
then most truly saving his life in the
seeming losing OF it. He becomes chief
in being servant Of all.
When the well is dry they know the
worth OF water.

Causes Badness.

One great cause of badness is the
habit some people have of changing the
style of hair cutting half 9 dozen times
. year, or nearly as often. They insist
on the short ~pompadour" in the hot
test months, q less pronounced o in
the fall, and then wear their hair longer
as the wheather gets colder, gradually
approaching q shave again by the time
the thermometer gets up in the ~nineties.
Now all this may be very comfortable.
but it is very bad for the hair and scalp.
