Is Courtship a Failure /?

The question, us marriage failure 2"
has now been thoroughly discussed.
Why would it not be we'll now to con-
slider the question, more important in
some respects, "Is courtship failure ?'
Are not courtships. as usually conduct
ed, a well-sustained farce, carried on by
two actors, who cunningly conceal
themselves under the disguise of. an
ingenious makeup? The young man
"who would wooing &C.," puts on his
best manners with his best clothes, and
will no more wear his every day char
-acter than he will wear his everyday
coat and cravat. He plays the part Of
paragon with as great histrionic skill
as he can command. The fact is, he
usually succeeds in impressing the
conviction of his ideal perfection upon
the fair creature who receives his Wis
its. But she, all the time, bless her,
is innocently playing precisely the
same game, and usually succeeds, even
to greater degree than the masculine
actor. It is not each other the two
young people@dore. but misty and
localized projection of each other.
When courtships become thoroughly
honest-if it is ever possible for them
to become so-there will be no need of
asking the question, els marriage a
failure ?"-Yaaakee Blade.

AN English electrician has invented
material which he calls alterion for the
prevention of corrosion in boilers. The

Of electricity are passed through the
boiler and from time to time reversed.
The formation of scale is prevented by
layer of hydrogen gas, which is de-
posted upon the inner surface of the
boiler. The reversed currents reforms
the hydrogen into pure water, a thin
layer of pure water being thus kept all
around the boiler.
The number of full-grown men out

who was to take general charge of the

absent the main shaft of the mill worked
loose, wobbling oddly. Instead of fit

promptly engaged o man to keep DASH

been going on for six days at cost of

the proprietor returned, and the smart
mechanic was actually surprised when
told his services were no longer needed.

1T is his bringing up, auntie," she
would say; It'll cure him of all his evil
ways in time"
So, though Aunt Peggy fumed and
Aunt Tabby fretted, neither had the
heart to take him away from the child.
He learned them lesson, too, for they
began to understand that Alice had
been lonelier than they knew, so they
grew slowly into the habit of kissing
her goodnight. They were very timid
about it at first, but it soon grew easier,
Alice was such q loving little creature,
and so readily responded to all their
caresses.
So time went on till at length
Thanksgiving Day came. The two stiff
ola ladies tried to make it pleasant for
Alice, and actually allowed her to have
Moses at the dinner-table with her. He
sat beside his little mistress in high
I chair, as grave as Judge.
At nine o'clock that evening thew
all retired, Alice with her beloved cat
in her arms. Nobody thought of the
kitchen fire or the towels that were
airing near it. But just as the clock
struck twelve Aunt Peggy was aroused
by loud meow! meow! and the
kitchen door which she had left closed
flew open,
She arose, saying to herself wrath
fully: "TA put that cat outdoors an
other night! See if don't, in spite of
Alice! 1 won't be walked up like this I"
BY this time she had reached the
sitting-room. Here she stopped, and
her heart almost stopped, too, for the
kitchen beyond was in glare of light.
She rushed through the smoke to
Alice's room, which joined the kitchen,
shrieking for Tom and Tabby as she
went. Alice lay motionless mid the
thick smoke. Aunt Peggy lifted her
from the bed and carried her back to
the sitting-room, while Tom set to
work to put out the fire.
There were blue rings about Alice's
mouth and nostrils, for the smoke had
nearly done its cruel work. After a
while she revived, and by this time
the fire was out. The fire had got so
under way that had it been found out
a few minutes later the house would
have been burned.
After this Moses was hero, you
may be sure, and had every attention

Does Excitement Shorten Life (?

Whoever has studied mans earthly
tenure, and the causes which tend to
lengthen or curtail it, will scarcely have
failed to notice how contradictory is the
evidence Of those we naturally look to
to explain them, and that their evidence,
even when they agree, does not always
accord with what would seem to be the
facts as they appear around US. One
authority says general physical develop
ment is necessary to prolong life, while
another insists that this is not required
if the days employment does not call
for physical exertion. DR.. d. i. Rich
ardson, ON eminent English authority,
declares, among many obvious 18Th
scarcely novel propositions, that cverJI-
thing that quickens the action Of tic

reasonable, for one does not have to be
a skilful Psychologist to know that ex-
element affects the nerves as we'll as
the heart. But is the statement strictly
true when referring, as here, to the
entire human family? Surely soldiers
engaged in actual warfare, and sailors
in peace, as we'll as war, live among ex-
element; besides being notoriously adj
dicted to indulgence as to drinking and
smoking, yet are they long lived.
Statistics show it and observations cor
roborate them. The pension list of the
British army, giving the ages of the
benefciaries, men who have served in
all climates for from twenty to forty
years, and excluding those pensioned
sooner because Of wounds received
while in the performance Of duty"
shows that soldiers do not die as other
men do; so it is with the naval pension
ers of the Greenwich Hospital, now
scattered over Great Britain because of
its adjustment. In the merchant SER

The use of fur on garments other
than outer wraps is part of the Rus
slanlsm that has come upon us so sud-
denly. Since the magazines and
newspapers lately took to Russian and
Siberian subjects, and there has been a
show of paintings by famous Russian
artist, the very questionable fancy of
fashion has turned whimsically to Rus

What is the Cause!

A new element of meteorological un-
certainty has come in of late years.
1t is not peculiar to California or to
America, but one hears of it in all parts
of the world. The springs are later,
the summers are colder-or, at least,
more liable to sudden changes-the
winters late in coming and variable as
regards temperature. Cyclones, fresh
cts, earthquakes are more frequent and
more destructive. What is the cause?
Is the axis of the earth inclining at
different angle to the sun? Or, are
seismic influences becoming more active,
preparatory to general shake up of the
earth's surface? Earthquakes are con-
nected intimately with atmospheric
pneuomena, either as cause or effect,
and the impossibility of knowing any
thing beforehand about their coming
adds to the perplexities Of the weather
prophet, who is already sufficiently per-
picked by the numerous uncertainties
that must of necessity enter into his
calculations.-Sa Francisco Chro1a,
