of wedlock, you can realize why the subject
of courtship and marriage can never grow
stale with my sex. Anything connected
with sweethearting is alertly observed. And
how the doings of the wooers abound in
humor.
A pair of lovers stood on the corner Of
Broadway and Twenty-third street on a
recent night, gazing up at the stereoptic
transparency that shines continually at that
point. That they were lovers was apparent
by the sympathetic manner of the girl in
leaning heavily against her escort. One of
her hands was in his overcoat pocket, and
her cheek almost touched his shoulder. They
were the typical John and Julia out spark
ing. He had a noticeably clean shave and
her hair had been in curling papers all day.
CUPID AND THE TRANSPARENCY.
Such simple persons will stand on
Twenty-third street for an hour at time
and gain delight from a study of the trans
parency with its advertisements for tailors
and shirt makers. Possibly the man who
was working the machine last night was
aware that John and Julia were down on
the corner. At all events he flashed over
the canvas series OF advertisements that
appealed to that class of individuals.
"Well need furniture, John. Let's 90
down to that place on the Bowery," said
Julia, as the man shot out the name of a
furniture dealer.
"WeIl, 1 wonder if could get to my
work at 80 if we went out to that place to
liVe," said John, as the Glide showed an an
nouncement from a New Jersey real estate
agent advising everyone to own house at

O'clock, and hoped that it would not be e1-
cessive boldness on his part to invite MS
new acquaintances to become his guests at
luncheon.
"Ob, really, Mr.. Kelcey," began one Of
the girls.
'Mr. what?" echoed the young man.
'Mr. Kelcey," repeated the girl. "Oh,
we know you, of course. You didn't think
we could take up with perfect stranger,
did you?"
"Well, responded the gentleman, "you
really have the advantage OF me. L pre-
sumo you must have met me before, but you
have my name confused. Allow me to pre-
sent my card"
A SAD AWAKENING.
The Young man handed the bit OF paste
board to one of the girls. 1t contained the
name of Mr.. Somebody else entirely, and
the address was the Union Club. A look
of fright came into the faces OF the young
women, and they stood stockstill gazing
silently first at each other and then at the
smiling young man. Then, with few In
coherent phrases OF apology, regret and en-
barrassment, they turned back to Fifth ave-
nue. and hurried away, leaving the young
man alone to gaze after them and WONDER az
their strange actions.
ct was never so ashamed in nv life, said
one of the misses to the other when they had
turned the corner.
Hes the perfect image of Kelcey." said
the other.
"Oh, what shall we ever do If we meet
him out anywhere
"Oh, we shan't," rejoined her compan-
ion. "You may be sure he is not in our set
or he would not have firted openly on Fifth
avenue with two strange girls"
And in the innocence of their young and
foolish hearts the two merry jades forgot the
episode of the morning.

dug up for removal to another cemetery.
Itwas>found that the apple tree root had
not only penetrated the casket, but had act

nourished itself and hourished on the
evangelist's remains. There was q good deal
of humor at the time at the expense of those
who had eaten the fruit of that intrusive
apple tree. and who were charged with q

And these two are engaged.
HEROES or THE STAGE.

All girlkind loves the theatrical leading
actor, yet regards him more as a pet poodle
than as a man. Some of our incest girls
will firt with handsome actor, but would
resent the advances of a gentleman whom
they respected. Some of them, while
possessed of ordinary gentility and modesty,
are dangerously indiscreet when fooling
with the mock heroes of the stage, and it is
a wonder that more of them do not get into
serious scrapes. Two Of the especially lively
sort were swinging down Fifth avenue at
lively pace the other morning when one of
them espied a tall, sturdy, handsomely
dressed young man on the other side of the
street, who appeared to be very much
charmed by their pretty figures.
Both girls agreed at once that the young
man was no other than Mr.. Kelcey, whose
lustrous and curling mustache and sympa-
thetic eyes are so well known and adored by
the gentle patrons of the Lyceum theater.
Vivid blushes of excitement and Joy over
spread the countenances of the two young
women when they observed the interest they
inspired IN the handsome gentleman, and as
they glanced sidelong across the street at
him the emotion in their young souls flashed
from their eyes into his.
AN ACTOR WAS WELCOME.

young man was walking by the side of the

couraging and vivacious. He suggested
that they turn off Fifth avenue and seek the
quieter neighborhood over on Madison ave-
nue.. This was done, and az the trio strolled
leisurely through the cross street, the young
man drew his watch from his pocket re-
marked that it was getting on toward /

ALL GONE UP IN SMOKE.

When CelluIoid Burns Nothing Remains
to Tell the Story.
Insurance men say that when they are
called upon to adjust loss caused by the
burning of celluloid they are absolutely
compelled TO take the books of the owners
unless they have evidence to show that the
books have been made up fraudulently.
When piece of celluloid burns up every
thing that is in it passes away into the air
and disappears. The substance is made
under patents owned by an American COM
pany, aud it is composed principally of
camph0r.
A gentleman connected with the COM
pany, which manufactures all the celuloid
articles sold in this market aud furnishes
the bulk of all that are sold the world over,
says that the product of the company's fac
tory last year was valued at 81, 100000.
Suppose now," said the person making
this statement, that cur factory should
burn, or that the store in which we keep
much of our finished product should burn,
there would not be in either case any means
by which the insurance company could de-
termine. independently of US, whether we
had sustained loss of 800 on celluloid or

TARIFF NOTES.

Between 1870 and 1880 the wooden
mills in this country decreased by S75.
In 1867 there were IS, 900, 900 sheep
east of the Mississippi river; now there
are 100000. More protection, less
sheep.

pay as high as sc. 10 per cent of its value.
In this way the cost of house is made
to reach a very handsome sum.

ut st. Paul, last week The speech
was great in good business common

GOV. Merriam, always Il stalwart re-

clear headed tariff reformer, his words
are especially significant. Read them:
A word as to the question of

Grafton of the subject leads me to the
conclusion that many of tine present

now are, to accept unremunerative
prices, the people should not be ham

benefit of any especial class, and which
deprives them of no inconslderable
portion of the fruits of their toll. The
tax levied upon articles of food of
various kinds, as well rs upon many
articles of common requirement, is a
