COURTSHIP IN lRELAN D.

Love Before Marriage Thing Almost
Unknown in the Green Isle.
Love before marriage is so very ex-
ceptional as to be almost unknown
among the farming classes in Ireland.
Matches are made and carried out with
scarcely consideration for the two
most nearly concerned, very little or
no intercourse being considered neces-
sary between the two young people de-
signed for bride and bridegroom until
the actual day of marriage. 1t is not
indeed, at all an unusual thing for the
young man and woman to meet for the
first time at the chapel gate on the
morning that is to make them
man and wife. Every thing is
arranged by the parents. Their farm
is worth so much, therefore the eldest
son is worth so much. He will inherit
it. The burning question then is to
discover some one fit to mate with their
son, some one with fortune" equal
to his. This desirable daughter-in-law
once found (be she old or ugly), the
matter may be considered arranged.
The bridegroom, impressed by the gen.
eral talk about the brides fortune"
which always takes precedence of her
looks falls in with the family view
of the affair, and wedding follows as
matter of course. Providence, seeing
all this, has mercifully ordained that
most Irish girls should be comely.
The marriage once consummated,
the old people give up the reins of
government and retire into the Chin
ney corner, leaving the young couple
masters of the field. A most unwise
arrangement, that generations of fools
in their line have not sufficed to wipe
out.
Marriages thus completed with all
the chilling formulas that mark the
alliances of the crowned heads of
Europe, are nevertheless in Ireland
almost always happy. Rarely do they
turn out badly. An unfaithful hus-
band is so scarce a thing that all the
countryside would ring with the men
tlOn OF him should he present nlmSelIi
an unfaithful wife is almost unknown.
Ireland, in spite of her many imper-
fections, in spite of her unsubduable
people who annoy so terribly the de-
cent House of Commons, people who in
their native land would be feted by
only the lowest and most vulgar class,
is the most moral country in the world,

the criminality that has unhappily of
late characterized 1.-THE most tender
hearted.
That should speak so, let you of
all and every political opinion forgive

greatest grief and my greatest joy!-

colt, she says: "Good drill, but very
hard"
Men testify again and again that it is
the learning to do things that seemed
hard and unnecessary that fitted them
to be men in the business world. Doing
drudgery is the best way to master any
business, any profession. A. I. Stewart
knew how to sell goods over a counter
before he built up business that sup
ported hundreds. The founder of one
of the largest publishing houses in this
country learned to set type. There Is
an apprenticeship that must be lived
and studied before there is q mastery
that commands respect. Not the boy
or girl who scorns the period becomes
master, but the one who sees in it the
stepping-stone to higher things. How
you would laugh at the little child who,
crying, protesting, or scorning refused
to learn how to add because he wanted
to work problems in algebra!
There are first steps out of school as
well as in school.
Ability to work algebra depends on

THE ELECTRIC LIGHT.
Why 1t Is Preferable to Gas and Other
Everyday Inuminants.

Why 1t Is Preferable to Gas and Other
Everyday IlIuminants.
Electric-lighting, as a means of pre-
serving and promoting health, has not
been sufficiently appreciated by the
British public. 1t may be safely said
electric light is the only form of
artificial illumination which is not in
furious to health. This is a strong
argument in favor of the general in
PRODUCTION of the electric light; but it
is when we begin to compare this light
with that of gas, or any other artificial
lights, that its beauty, purity, bright
ness, cleanliness and safety come out
in strong contrast.
Gas not only consumes and pol1utes
the air, but it is very poisonous, be-
sides having a deleterious effect on the
furniture and decorations of our homes.
Gas gives off a certain amount of SCOT,
which is evident from the blackened
ceilings and cornices, discOlored wall
papers, ETC. The destruction to goods
in the shops of our great cities from
the action of gas must also be very
great. In offices, shops and factories
employees can use it continuously with
out feeling the lassitude, headache and
fatigue which are frequently caused by
the use of gas. AS means of retain
ing health its advantages are indis-
putable.
1t has been said, with a considerable
degree of truth, that every hour man
spends in room lighted by gas tends
to shorten his life and abridge his
powers of work. This light is a pure,
healthy light, which, if no other light
were used, and the smoke of our fires
self-consuming would leave our cities
almost as fresh and bracing as High
land hill; and rosy instead of pale
cheeks, and brightlyfashing, instead
of dim, lusterless eyes, would mark
the city inhabitants. Health.

THIEVISH RATS.

They Even Steal Things of Which They
Can Make No Practical Use-Cunning An
imals.
Rats are not only very wise creatures,
but they are also notorious thieves
They constantly steal things, especially
bright and glittering articles, that are
not of the slightest use to them. AwoOd
rat once formed hoard in stove in a
house in California which had not been
occupied for couple of years. During
some repairs the nest was found, and
curious sight it presented. The outside
of it was entirely made up of nails, all
neatly arranged, points outward. In
the middle lay the nest, composed of
fibers, finely divided, of hemp packing.
Then, mingled with more nails, were
two dozen knives, forks and spoons;
three butchers knives, large carving
knife, fork and steel; several plugs OF
tobacco; an old purse containing some
silver; matches; nearly all the small
tools from the tool-chest, but some
large augers among them; the case of
silver watch in one part of the heap,
the glass face in another part, and the
"works" in another. Here, therefore,
you have an instance of rats taking the
trouble to bring together from all
quarters of house a variety OF things
they did not and could not make use OF.
This seems to show that rats have a
real mania for thieving, simply for the
sake of stealing.
But they are also very cunning ami

aged to transport a big potato to his
home? Lying on his back, he placed
the potato on his breast and held it
there with his paws, while his mate
dragged him along by the tail like
sledge until they came to a hole in the
floor. Down this hole the potato was
rolled, and the rats went tumbling
afterl
However, we must not do the rats an
| Injustice. There is no doubt that in
many cases they behave very kindly to
one another. Here is pleasing ex-
ample of such affection. A poor blind
old rat had acquired great liking for
cod-liver oil doesn't this prove that
they are sensible beings as well as
thievish, and cunning and kind?)-a
fondness which had probably grown
upon him before he lost his sight. Of
course he was unable without help to
crafty this taste of his, but a young
rat, pitying his forlorn state, used to
lead him to the oil-fasks. Now, when
a rat wants any thing out of a bottle,
he does not knock the vessel over and
break it; that would be clumsy and
wasteful. No; he slips his tail into the
liquid and then licks his tail. Well,
when the young conductor arrived at
the cod-iver oil, he dipped his tail into
the bottle, and allowed his venerable
friend to lick the oil off. This done,
the guardian carefully conveyed his
charge back to his lodging. Was not
the young rat really good Samaritan?

Mr. Collins did not often swear, but
he could do so when occasion seemed
to demand the employment of such a
safety-valve for his emotions, and that
was one of the occasions.
Low, but fervently, he cursed that
hunting dog and the chief of police OF
Cleveland.
The next train back from Sewickley
brought Collins and his dog in the
baggage car. At the Pittsburgh depot
they stopped. Quite calmed now by
a settled resolve for ample revenge,
upon the dog at least, the editor pen
ciled upon one of his cards the ad-
dress: "Chief of Police, Cleveland,
o. >" and with bit of string tied the
slip of pasteboard to the brute's collar.
Then he led the animal to the rear end
of the last car in train just about
starting out westward in the direction
of Cleveland, and there made him fast
to the coupler by means of his strong
chain.
The last seen of Collins hunting
dog-as whole dog-he was taking
twenty-foot leaps through the air, over
the ties, in the direction of Cleveland.

A Little Girls Story.

A little girl aged three, informed her
mother that she knew beautiful story
about a giant. Would you like to
hear it, mammal" asked she.
''Well, them" she continued, ''Once
there was q great big ugly giant, and
he was very fond of eating little girls
One day as he was walking alone
through the woods he met two little
girls-one very good little girl and one
very naughty one.
''First he took bite out of the good
little girl, and he made up a horrid
face, and said she tasted awful nasty
then he took taste of the bad little
girl, and he smacked his lips and said
she tasted awful nice, cause you see,
mamma, she had eaten nuts and raisins
and candy when her mother told her
not to, and that made her taste sweet. .
Then the old giant said: I'll never
again eat good little girl; I'll always
eat the bad ones. "A Listener" in

THOUSANDS AT STAKE.
Some of the Secrets of Washington'S High
Toned Gambling Dens.

Some of the Secrets of WashngtOn'S High
Toned Gambling Dens.
The police here claim that there is
not single gambling den in the city
of Washington. This is probably a
statement of fact, for when the Wash
ingtonian wishes to "dally with the
tiger" nowadays he takes the ferry
boat and hies him away to Alexandria,
just across the Potomac on the Vir-
ginia shore, where he will find gam
blers and gambling in all forms. All
of the noted gambling places of the
capital are closed, and probably will
be for some time to come; but those
who are fond of cards are not deprived
of their favorite game. Poker has
taken the place of faro, and if
the walls of some rooms in the
fashionable hotels could tell a story,
there would be a series of sensations
which would shake up more than one
community outside of Washington. l
hear that not more than a week ago
there was a poker game going on in a
hotel in Fifteenth street which dazzled
even those who were in the habit of
risking a few thousands in the course
of an evening. At the close of this
particular game an ex-senator from a
Southern State buttoned up his over
coat over $4,000 in cash and some
checks and promissory notes for lesser
amounts. 'In all, his winnings repre-
sented about $35, 1000.
This incident calls to mind the pc
culiar antics of an aged lady living in
the fashionable West End, whose
house is the resort of some of the
wealthiest of the young sports
here, as we'll as that of some
others. Poker is played here nightly
and the ''old party" invariably takes a
hand. There never has been any sus-
picion that the hostess resorts to any
but fair means to get the advantage,
but it is quite noticeable that her win
nings have been considerable and are
not due to her superior playing. Her
method is a very simple one. She
does not pay her gambling debts and
her guests have never troubled her for
them. She never invites the different
sets of gentlemen to her house on the
same evening. Those who can afford
to play for high stakes come one even
ing, those who want medium game
come another, and the remainder of
her friends, who only lightly indulge,
are to be found there on another Occa-
sion. There are some queer people in
this world and every one doesn't have
to work hard for living, Washing
