How to Coax a Man to proposa

An elderly man was telling to a
group of giddy young girls the other
day how he proposed to his wife
when he was young man. She was
sewing at the time. he said, or ne
never would have had the courage to
do it. If girls would sew more he
thinks they would have more matri.
monial chances. Sewing he consid.
ers the best accomplishment that A
woman can have. A woman engaged
with a needle has a domestic, home.
like air that is irresistible to man
who loves her. It is a picture of
what she would be in her own home
and makes him long that it should be
his also. How can a man propose to
girl who sits straight up in her chair
staring at him with pair of bright
eyes? But when she is bending
gracefully over bit of plain or fan
cy sewing. apparently absorbed in
counting the stitches, and the arrows
of her eyes are sheathed for a few
moments, he pIucks up courage
enough to offer her his hand and
heart. The average young man is
bashful in such affairs, though bold
enough at other times, and deeds
encouragement and opportunities.
What sort Of encouragement -
of bright eyes staring into his. vatsh.
ing his embarrassment ? Listen to
the advise of an Old mas. who has
been all through it; drop your eyes
and give the young nan chance
Remember this, girls. when the IA
vOrite young man drops in to make
an evening visit, getyour bit of fan
cy work and LOOK domestic, and with
every stitch of yOurneedle YOU Will
bind his heart NOR firmly to your
own Chicago He,uld.

My boy, don't yell the lungs out
of you over a mashed thumb, when
only three files down the line a SOL
der salutes his captain before he
faces about to go to the rear with a
death bullet I'm his breast. You can't
help getting hurt. There isn't safe
place in the whole line. There are
cruel people in the world who love
to wound US there are the thought
less, Needless people who don't think;
there are people who don't care, and
there are thick-skinned people who
are not easily hurt themselves, and
they think mankind is a thick hided
race-in fact. the air is full of darts
and arrows and singing bullets all
the time, and it's dangerous to be
safe anywhere. But when you do
get hit.-as hit you certainly will be.
don't "holler" any louder than you
have to. grin and bear it the best
you may. There are some people so
badly hurt that they moan. Do you
forget your own hurt in looking after

The Present Year In Railroads.

II will be of general interest to learn
that already in this country over
$500 miles of main line track have
been laid since the year began, and
that the probabilities are that fully
5000 miles. and perhaps more, will
have been completed before the end
of the year.
The disproportlon between the
$500 miles of track laid in nine
months to the estimated 1000 or more
for the whole year, the Raii,0ay Age
explains thus: 1.-THE remaining three
months of the year will be marked
by the rapid laying down of rails on
numerous lines upon which the slow.
er preliminary work has long been
going on"
1t is a notable fact that the new
construction is not confined to special
localities throughout the country, hut
is in progress in almost every State
and Territory, the only exceptions
being Vermont. Connecticut, Rhode
Island, Delaware, Iowa. New Mex.
leo and Arizona. In each of these,
however. several new roads have
been projected and some of them will
have new tracks to report by the end
Of the year.
The South shows marvellous growth
and advancement in railway con.
struction, indeed the greatest activ-
ity Is south of the Mason and Dix
on's line.
In eleven Southern States the track
laid this year already aggregates
l 478 miles. or nearly 45 per cent. of
the total, Georgia leads the country
thus far with an addition of 238
miles. Texas has built 189 miles,
Virginia 176 miles, Tennessee ITO
miles, North Carolina 147 miles,
Mississippi 40 and Kentucky 1877.
The new State of Washington
makes the very excellent showing of
ia miles laid on twelve lines, and
this will be very considerably increas-
ed before the end of the year.
30 after all 1889 will not be such an
off year, but there is every promise
that the end of 1890 will see the open.
ing and construction OF more roads
than for many years previous.

For more than two years the wife
of the late DR.. Thayer, of Fairfield,
Me-. was confined to her bed with
what was thought to be an incurabIe
illness. One day her little boy came
crying to her with cut finger. There
was no one else in the house, and the
mother. forgetting her malady, boun.
ded out of bed for the first time in
many months. to attend her injured
boy. When this was accomplished,
she gazed around in wonder, seemed
delighted with her ability to sit up,
and did not take to her bed again,
unless for nightly rest. She lived for
several years after this remark able

WHY A LADY BURNED HER

quiries made. found that he vas a
young man Just out of college who
had come to Boston to study hedi-
cine. She contrived to see Figsev=

and more convinced that he was a
fellow of honor and Of great promise.
In the end she took him home and
adopted him. to the great indigna.
ton of various people who had been
keeping careful eye on the old
lady's properly with a view to its
going to certain cheritable institu.
tions. In less than a year the young
man proved all the old lady's skill in
reading his face to have been delu-
sion and a snare by running of with
all her loose cash and a lot of her
silverWare. She was too sensible to
the scandal to have the man followed
up legally. but she abandoned her
faith in physiognomy and burned
her will.
