Forced to Marry.

The unyielding quality of European
official red tape, compared with the do
mestic article. is elasticity itself, is
well illustrated by the enforcement of
a rule of the Danish State railways
regulating the employment of guards
at crossings. Every one who has trav-
eled in the north of Europe has noticed
the enormous number of guard houses
along the railroads, and the fact that
women usually signal trains. As a
measure of economy man and wife are
employed by the State, the former as Il
track walker and the latter as guard
The rules specify the relationship to
exist between these two classes of en-
ployes, and rules are made to be obey
ed. When it happens that either dies,
the survivor has just six weeks in
which to find another partner. Neglect
to do so is disobedience, punished with
dismissal. The employment of brother,
sister or servant to fill the vacancy is
not allowed. The guard or track
walker must marry in six weeks or
leave. A case of the kind occurred
recently near the old town of Ribe on
the German frontier The stricken
widower petitioned the Government to
allow him an extra week or two, alleg-
ing that his work of walking all day
long the railroad track did not give
him a chance to look for a new wife;
but his request was refused as in itself
an infraction of discipline. The hap
less widower had only six days of
grace left, but he did not want to lose
his job, and went skirmishing with
such energy that before the end of the
fifth he had new wife tagging the
trains. .-Ne1O York Snn.

A Reporter's Call.

He was night reporter on daily
paper, and it came in his way to inter-
view two worthy ladies connected with
one of our benevolent institutions on
subject of some Importance. The city
editor told him to use tact and make
himself agreeable. As the matter was
not wanted for the next edition he could
take his time, and not hurry the ladies
in their recital.
These were his instructions; at 8 p.
m. he appeared at the institution, the
inmates of which had just been called
to prayers. The rest of the story is
best told in the words of the elder lady
herself.
He seemed a very nice, agreeable
young man, and we thought he had
known some of our patients, or had
some idea of adopting an infant from
the children's ward. My assistant,
Miss -, she is a young lady, was
little nervous, as we have so few calls
from gentlemen. But we asked him
out to our house service, and he sung,
and read a chapter, and was very nice.
Then we went back to the parlor and
Miss - wanted TO excuse herself,
but l would not let her leave, and
the young man, l thought, would soon
go.
Il wish you could have heard him
talkl He told us all about himself and
what n checkered career he had gone
through, and Miss - became quite
sympathetic, but we were both dread
fully worried. We did not know what
he wanted, and he gave us no chance
to ask. was SO sleepy for a while
that the smile froZe on my face, and
saw double. Then he made me tell
the history of the institution, and that
is my weak point. Every time my as
sistant, Miss -, would attempt to 60
i would frown at her. We both knew
that everything in the house was GO
ing wrong. could see the clock, but
the young man sat with his back to it.
At last it struck p Then he asked
what time it was. told him it was 2
o'clock in the morning, and then he
let the cat out of the bag at last. He
told me who he was.
1--WE fellows just consider this the
shank of the evening" he said. You
see, I'm an all night man, but l am
afraid have been keeping you ladies
up
1--WE both said oh, no, no. for we
were almost stupefied, and much too
sleepy To tell the truth. But we both
wondered what his business was with
US, and, do you believe it, he told us
in less than five minutes! He simply
wanted to know if a statement in the
evening paper of the night before was
true. ."--DetTOI Free Press.

A Capital SiInile.

An appeal has been made to me as to
the fitness of simile a friend of mine
recently made use OF with disastrous
consequences to his peace of mind.
..If it did not endanger my life," he
writes, sit at least ruined my supper
and other social pleasures for a whole
evening. 1 was talking with some
friends, when reference was made to a
dear old lady whom we all respected
and loved. No one would call her
exactly lovely to look upon, and all
knew She had an awfully hard time
been squeezed, so to say, by her sur
roundings. | likened her to a bale OF
cotton. Then they all sat down on me.
We can call man Il rough DIAMOND,
but not a woman. 1t is too hard-too
clear and transparent. But for this
woman. who does not go in (or so
out either) to be lovely. and has been
unchanged for sixty years-who has
been pressed and repressed and com
pressed by hard times-who is Ill
shaped and rather rough, yet through
whose rents and tears and all the
natural windows can be seen the ten,
der, soft interior, white and pure, al
WAYS ready for other peoples comfort
isn't it fair and handsome to call her
bale of cottonP" Indeed, think the
simile capital one.-1he Critic.

Little Lord Fauntleroy.

Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett is
said to have made already $4,000 ON
Little Lord Fauntleroy," $1,000 on
Sara Crewe," has been paid $4,000
for her new novel by the Boomers, and
heavy sum for her story in 81. Mich
otds. 1t is said that she can earn near
ly $4,000 year with her pen, aud
though in Boston she was not accepted
OF made much of by the literary set,
and Howells said condescendingly, in
answer to question concerning her,
''Oh. she isn't one of us, you know"
she is disposed to think her reception
by the English men and women of
letters aud her capacity to make money
more than consoles her for Boston's
GOODNESS. Mrs. Burnett writes all her
books and plays at big desk, which
is kept exquisitely y neat and provided
with every mechanical aid to author
ship, each object being beautiful to
look at as we'll as useful in her work.
Her pen-handles, inkstands, paper
cutters and weights, erasers and blot
tiers are all articles of virtu and have
been picked up in different countries
or are the gifts of some of her many
admiring readers. On one side of the
upper part of the desk is tied with a
blue ribbon the quill pen with which
Mrs. Burnett wrote "Esmeralda," her
first play, and the achievement in
which she took most pride and pleas
ure until she had produced Little
Lord Fauntleroy." 1t is said that she
never used this pen after writing "Es-
meralda" until about three years ago,
and that then her little son came and
leaned against her desk while she was
writing, and, gazing idly about, his
glance fell upon the ribbon-adorned
quill.
Dearest" said he, ''why don't you
ever use this pretty pen? Please take
it down and write a story for me
about boy-a little boy, like me-"
His mother put her arm around him
and promised he should have a boy
story, and it should be a boy very much
like him, and then she united tie quill
and began to try and think of plot
for boy story which she intended at
first only for her sons amusement
But the plan of 'Little Lord FauntIe-
roy" began to develop IN her mind,
and, recognizing the freshness and
beauty of the character, she enlarged
her original intention and with this
quill wrote the most successful book of
her life.

A kissing School.

"Oh, yes," said the professor, in
answer TO the reporters question, ''this
is what is called a kissing school. You
see | am an American who has spent
number of years abroad, principally in
Paris. was very much surprised on
arriving there to find such schools as
this one, which have just established,
very plentiful. To be able to kiss well
and put into the action that gentle ami
nation which must be combined with
a willful resignation to the act is a
science over which very few people
in America have control. All your
American kissers do their kissing inn
pulsively and without considering the
great advantage and ethereal pleasure
to be found in calm, cool deliberation
and premeditation. My wife, who is a
native of France, and who was regulated
to be the most graceful kisser in Paris,
gave a young man his first lesson in
kissing the other day, and when the
ordeal was over she nearly tainted. The
poor fellow grabbed her in his arms
and squeezed her almost to death,
kissing her everywhere but on the
mouth"
Say Professor, don't you get jeal-
ousP"

purely business transaction between
my wife and the young man who wants
to learn how to kiss, and if l find that
she is putting any superfluous sentiment

Silk Threads in Bank Notes.

ment for the printing of bonds and
current notes. The mills where it is
manufactured arc ut Glen Falls. Ches-
ter county, Pa. An agent of the Treas
ury Department receives the paper di-
rect from the hands of the mauufactur-
er aud every precaution is observed in
order to prevent any loss. Short scraps
of red silk are mixed with the liquid
pulp in an engine. The finished ma
terial is conducted to a wire cloth
witho ut passing through any screens,
which might retain the silken threads.
An arrangement above the wire cloth
scatters a shower of fine scraps of blue
silk thread, which falls upon the paper
while it is being formed. The side on
which the blue silk is deposited is used
for the back of notes, and the threads
are so deeply imbedded as to remain
permanently fixed. Each sheet is reg

sat near, with the olden look in her
hazel eyes, and tremulous smile on
her lips.
Somehow. as he watched her, she
seemed again his love, his darling, tie
bride for whom he hal come over land
aud sea, aud he put up weak hand
and pressed the cool fingers more
closely To his brow.
You are better?" she asked softly.
Your horse threw you, and they
brought You here. At first we thought
we !rarrd--"
1'iie s,fl voice broke; she could not
help Il. She lowered her pale face to
the arm of her chair and burst into
sui,S.
Anl sudden memory came to him
of the last time she had so sobbed in
his presence, and his heart grew warm
and fender for the woman who had
loved him all these years.
Somehow, as he put out his weak
hand and caressed the soft coils of her
hair, the old love grew strong in his
bosom and cried aloud for Vala.
Dear" he said family, :'stay here
beside mel Let none minister to ME
save you, my dearest one!'
She lifted her face, and it was again
the face of the girl from whom he had
parted-glad, tremulous, flushed with
a color that made fair as the dawn,
alight with love.
You want me, RoyP" she whispered
eagerly-''you care for me stillP 1
thought you would be glad to have me
set you free And l would have done
so, dear-I would have done so had
you wished it."
And he knew, even as Ina entered
with her light free step. that he did
not wish her to set him free. He was
human. and had been too sanguine in
coming for his bride; but he knew that
it was Vala for whom he had strug-
gled, Vala who had been true to him
so long, for whom he had come SO
far; and let her be changed as she
might outwardly. he realised that the
heart of the girl beat still in the breast
of the woman.
And so he drew her down until her
tender face rested near his own.
'YOu would set me free?" he whisp-
cred. "Vala, my beloved, if you love
me, keep me bound to you; for have
never wished my freedom, and have
come here for my wife"
Ina glanced curiously at the two
faces, the clasped hands, the warm
color in her sisters thin cheeks, and
smiling quietly she glidcd out.
They look so very happy, mamma"
she said to her mother, whom she met
at the door. ''Come away; it would be
a pity to disturb them"
