there is general tendency
toward corset wearing among the young
men not only Of st. Paul but the cities
of the West generally, and so far as can
be seen there is very little danger of
any evil resulting from the practice"
Another of the young men who
learned the corset wearing habit at
West Point has since that travelled con-
siderably in Europe, and he states that
there is great deal of difference in the
bands worn by the West Point cadets
and those in vogue among the society
men of old the country. The former, he
says, are made after a regulation pattern
and are extremely painful to wear until
the wearer has accustomed himself to
them. The latter he eharacterizes as
merely pleasantly supporting bandage
with just enough stiffening in it
to keep it from wrinkling. He
has discarded the corset en-
tirely since leaving the college. his
physician having informed him that
there was danger in the practice. 1t
Will thus be seen that medical opinions
as to the probable results of a general
corset wearing among men differ con-
siderably. though no matter what the
fiat of the profession may be, the proba-
bility is that the craze will run its
course in this country as it is doing in
Europe.

TO their address. and the small boy eau
toned not to larry. He doesn't linger,
and If anybody thinks he does, he has
sworn statement of facts with him to
prove the contrary. This department
seems mainly to be patronized by coy
maidens and bashful youths who are
naturally impatient and expect a mes
senger boy to have wings and fly. It's
too bad he isn't yet an angel so he could
accOmm odate such people.
Despite the facilities for delivering
mail, the special delivery window is
we'll patronized, not only by transientS
for convenience, but also by the artful
maiden who corresponds under nom

writing desk, read it, and taking some
note paper from her satchel wrote few
words in answer, and mailed it. 1t
CHANGED that she used a clean blotter
and left distinct impress of the letter
she wrote and its address, but of course
the writing on the blutter was reversed
so that one could not read it. To my
surprise, the friend returned alone in
few moments, glanced at the blotter
with grin of delight. held her pocket

The money order department is the
scene of much tribuiatiOn and veXation
of spirit. There is the fat Irish woman
who refuses to be "humbugged' by
filing an application, and in her rich
brOgue threatens to have the clerk dis
charged if he doesn't make an order
right away and mail it for her. The
patient Scandinavian fills sheet after
sheet in vain effort to make his wants
understood. John Chinaman talks a
string of hierOglyphics which threaten
to loosen the plaster off the
walls unless he can be identified
aud receive payment of a money
order which seems incompreheusible to
John until ne sees the round dollars
paid into his hand. 'More than 900
letters week go to the dead letter
office from this city," says the pOStmas-
ter. Think of the tales of woe shaped
by peoples own careleSSneSs in address
ing letters, and what queer sensation
it does give one to get letter returned
from the dead letter office. 1t actually
seems like a ghost arising unbidden.
The pOstOffice department wastes no
sentiment on them. They are simply a
proof of peoples natural depravity, and
the department. continually handles
more letters"
This weather is not the most favorable
for observation; the postoffice doesn't
seem to be heated and ventilated with
that object in view. But the postmaster
says he thinks We'll have a new and
more stylish building in about ten
years. Then can idle about comfort
ably and watch the people work.

HOW MEN MAY PROPOSE.
Take Your Choice of Either Mode
and Run Your Chances.

San Francisco Chronicle.
Here are two kinds of "proposing.'
This one is the kind you read about, bu
the other is the most popular in the
realm of fact:
''My angel, Ihave long waited for the
opportunity. You must have detected
ere now the growth of my love for you.
From the day first met you that love
took root, and tonight it is strong and
sturdy-unwavering. undying. Your
sweet smiles have lighted up my life;
your every word has been to me note of
exquisite music, thrilling, enthralling
me. You have filled place in my heart,
in my affections, that no one has ever
before occupied. My lifelong happi-
ness depends solely upon the answer
you give me. Say you will be mine to
love, caress, cherish, idoliZe through
time and eternity. and make me of all
men the most envied. But if you ref
Oh, can noti L can not! The thought
Is madness. You will be my wife? l
see the answer in your heart mirrored
in your luStrOuS eyes: you know [ love
you as no other man has ever loved you,
or ever can love you, darling. l know
you will not thrust ME Off"
The angel assumes Stereotyped
really-this-is-so- sudden expression and
assures Mr.. Wordie she would derive
great pleasure from being his sister.
Here is the other way:
"Maude, I've been thinking seriously
lately"
'sReally, Fred, you ought to be more
iudicious than to do anything so rash as
that"
Eyes, / know it is heavy tax on my
mental capacity, but then | always was
reckless that way. This time, however,
l think have been thinking to some
purpose. In fact, I've been thinking
you wouldn't object to having your
name changed"
"When?"
''Just as soon as possible"
''Will it be home or church,"
Church, of course; we want to do
this thing in STYLE"
''Have you asked pa?"
Certainly not: don't want to marry
your father.'
"WelI. / know; but for forms sake"
'All right, dear: for forms sake. 1
will see pa. and may be you had better
prepare ma for the ordeal"
sob, she won't mind it,"
Deep silence reignS again, save as it
is broken by the soft stirring of the
treetops, sWayed by gentle breeze.
Gleefully the stars twinkle, the moon
looks beamingly down from heaven to
earth, and discovers on a vine powered
piazza two forms with but a single
chair.

An Election Tip From a Hen.

An Election Tip From a Hen.
Marietta, Ca, Special to Atlanta Constitution
No little fun has been enjoyed over
the many incidents that occurred on the
day of the recent exciting city election.
Mr.. J. Spilman, who was strong I. w.
Glover man, exhibits a phenomenon
which he says is the result of that
memorable contest. 1t is an extremely
large egg, measuring 615 by 80 inches,
which, Mr.. Spilman says, was found on
the day of election in trough of his
livery stable, having been laid that day
by large top-knot Dominic hen that
has been about the stable for years.
Now. this egg is not only very large
one, but on one end of it is cipher or
vignette composed of indented lines, in
which the letters L. W. G. can readily
be seen, and much more distinct than
many of our great men can write them.
Mayor Glover is responsible for saying
that Capt. Church Anderson discovered,
by holding the egg up and looking
through to the sun. the figures los.
Mayor Gloyer's majority, could be seen.

THE MULE STRUCK OUT.

That Is why Head1ess Chickens Were
Picked Up in Virginia.
There has been considerable gold found re-
emily several miles north of the District
line, and several shafts have been sunk on
various properties, all of which, to use the
usual language of the boom, exceed the
most sanguine expectations of the promo
ters" Several farmers out near the seat of
disturbance have been earning considerable
money hauling ore from the shaft to Senator
Sawyer's stamp mill, a few miles away. The
shafts are sunk and the ore extracted by the
usual methods of drilling and blasting. For
the latter purpose nitro-g lycerine is used.
One of the teamsters put several empty
nitro-glycerine cans in his cart and took them
to his home, near Takoma Park, last week,
intending to clean them up and make pals of
them. He set them down in the barn yard
while he was putting up the mules. half
grown hog saw the cans, walked up and
nuzzled them around. About gill of the
stuff had collected in the bottom of each, and
the pig licked it down. 1t has a sweet flavor
and is medicinal Then the farmer came out,
picked up the cans and took them into the
house. The pig chewed up stray ear of
corn, dead rat, some corn husks and two or
three other delicacies and ambied into the
barn. Perhaps nothing would have happened
if the razor back had been gifted with ordi-
nary intelligence, but what would possess
him under the circumstances to go and
scratch his back against the post of the off
mules stall is past understanding. Now,
mules are only human; they are not exempt
! from or above the foibles of mankind.
When things go wrong with them they
make the welkin ring with their wild Horneric
'Hee-aw! hee-aw! hee-aw!" and then kick
like Queen Anne musket So when the off
mule looked around and saw the pig scratch
ing his back six inches from his heels he
Strengthened his neck, closed his eyes in brief
and silent prayer, swung his sinister limb up
over his shoulder and then struck out like
Kelly at the bat. The pig described beau
tiful parabola, screaming all the time like d
300 pound shell from one of Admiral Porter's
mortars, sailed out through the barn doors
on a fiat trajectory and struck on top of the
hen house.
Then came clap Of thunder sound the
pig, o, where was hes Ask of the winds
which whistled round the heavens and the
sea- The nitro-glycerine had exploded, STAY
ing pig, hen house and poultry into the mid,
die of Ballyhack. There hasn't piece of
that pig been found big enough to hold an
inquest on, nor a piece of hen house big
enough for hen to pick her teeth on, and q

other day for having in bag some headles:
