mo yyav 3 court n Holiand.

In certain parts of Holland, when q
young man thinks he has found his aim
ity, It is customary for him to ask for
match to light his cigar at the door Of the
loved ones house. This little subterfuge
Is intended to arouse the parents Of the
girl to the fact that something is in tho
wind. If second call with a similar OBJ
ject is made soon after, no doubt is left Of
the young mans intentions, and the par
ents proceed to investigate the young
mans character and antecedonts with the
view of ascertaining his eligibility as
member of the family
When he calls the third time, always for
a.match to light his cigar, they are pre-
pared to give him an answer. If his suit is
regarded with favor he is politely requested
to step inside for the first time and is served
with O light. If he is not accepted he is
refused O light and the door is shut in his
face without further ceremony. But hav-
ing prepared for this contingency, the
downcast sutton win in all probability light
his weed with match from his own box,
and walk away musing on the transitory
nature of all earthly things.
When the accepted sutton Is invited to
enter the house he, as a matter of course,
informs the parents which of their daugh-
tiers has captivated his fancy. When this
is settled the young man steps forward and
they join hands. While the engagement is
by no means considered settled fact even
at this important stage, yet it is stated as a
truth that when on the occasion of the
young mans third visit his inamorata has
offered him second cigar, which he had
smoked In the house, the engagement has
never been cancelled. -Philadelphia North

Eddy Carten, st. Louis newsboy, while
trying to board car, fell under the wheels
and was seriously injured. He began to
scream with pain, whereupon Mr.. Thay-
er, Of Boston, picked the little fellow up
and announced to the bystanders that he
would hypnotic him. Suiting the action
to the word he placed his hands on the
boys eyes and commanded him to be quiet
Immediately the little chaps cries ceased
and he lay as one dead, apparently oblivi
GUS of everything. The lad remained in
this state for over an hour, while the doc
tor examined and dressed the injured leg
which had sustained ii compound fracture
When the doctor was setting Eddies leg
the little fellow, though seemingly uncon
scious, evinced signs of pain by drawing up
his lip. Mr., Thayer, noticing this, sternly
commanded him to close his mouth. The
boy obeyed instantly and never moved a
muscle again until the doctor had com
pleted his operation and requested Mr..
Thayer to wake the patient, which he did
by swapping his fingers before the boys
eyes. There were a number of persons
present, among whom were several physi
clans, who pronounced the power possessed
by Mr. Thayer as something remarkable

The elevator In the modern big buildings
has only one rawback-that Is the sick
ness it causes when the car is suddenly
stopped. To people of a delicate constitu.
ton this sickness is often such serious
matter that to them the elevator is dan
gerous blessing. This sickness can be
avoided by Observing simple physical
laws. Elevator sickness is caused by the
same law that throws a person to the
ground when he gets off moving car
in the wrong way. The stoppago of the
elevator car brings dizziness to the
head and sometimes nausea at the stom
ach. The internal organs seem to want to
rise into the throat. All this comes from
the fact that all parts of the body are not
stopped at the same moment Of time. The
feet being next to the car floor stop with
