The woman Does the Courtine,

In the Ukraine, Russia, the maiden is the
one that does all the counting. When SHE
falls in love with man she goes to his house
and tells him the state of her feelings If hi
reciprocates all is well, and formal marriage
is duly arranged. If, however, he is unwill
ing, she remains there, hoping to coax him
into better mind. The poor fellow cannot
treat her with the least discourtesy or turr
her out, for her friends would be sure tx
avenge the insult His best chance, there
fore, if he is really determined that he won't
is to leave his home and stay away as lone
as she is in it. This is certainly a peculiar
way of turning man out of house and home
On the Isthmus of Darien either sex can de
the counting, with the natural result that al
most everybody gets married. There is mo-
quite the same chance where the girl has tx
bide the notions of a hesitating or bashfu
swain.-Exchange.

.e.r Fort Fisber,s Capture.

The Union loss at Fort Fisher in January,
1865. was lS4 killed and 749 wounded. The
Confederate loss in killed and wounded
has been placed at 500 in all. Gen. Terry
reported over 1900 prisoners, some of
them re-enforcements which reached the
work on the last day. The night of the
18TH after the surrender, was made brilliant
by the display of rockets from the Feet and
the flames from burning material fired by the
retreating Confederates. At daylight on the
10th the JOY of the victors was dampened by
the disastrous explosion of the powder maya
zine of the fort, with over six tons of powder.
This magazine was under a roof of sand and
turf eighteen feet thick. A portion of Col
Alden's regiment, the One Hundred and
Sixty-ninth New York, encamped around
and upon it, Without warning, the whole
mound blew up, killing twenty-five and
wounding sixty-six of the Union men. Thir-
teen men were missing, and were probably
buried under the debris. Some wounded
Confederates were also in the bomb proof
Somebody's after the explosion Naval Com
mander Truxton, of Porters fleet, found an
insulated wire leading from the Wilmington
side of the river to Fort Fisher and into the
magazine, and it was believed at tbs time
that some Confederate had exploded the
deadly charge purposely. Subsequent inves-
tigation proved that some Union men entered
the magazine with an open light, not know
ing the danger and accidentally fired the
powder-George L. Kllmer.

Legends About Robins.

A good many superstitious ideas are prev
alent in different localities with reference to
the robin. In some parts of Scotland the
song of this interesting little bird is held te
augur no good for the sick person who hears
it, and to those superstitiously inclined much
anxiety is sometimes caused when its note:
are heard near a house where any one hap
pens to be i'll. There is a legend connected
with the robin which have somewhere seen
1t is said that far, far away there is land Of
woe, darkness, spirits of evil and fire.
Day by day does this little bird bear in his
bill drop of water to quench the fame. Sc
near the burning stream does he fly that his
feathers are scorched, and hence he is named

legend which attributes his red breast to hi;

Rights of a Chinese Husband,

In an article by DR.. Faber in Shanghai
periodical on the "Status of Women in
China" he writes that the Chinese laws,
while they are intended throughout for the
defense of marriage as a sacEed institution,
are as one sided as all laws relating to wo-
men are in oriental countries. If a man beats
his wife, but does not break her limbs Or
MAIN her, the law takes no notice of it; if a
wife beats her husband, she is liable to re-
ceive 100 blows and her husband may separ-
ate from her. Those who have been shocked
by the sale of women in the famine regions
will be interested in knowing that the law
provides that she who from poverty sells his
wife shall not be heavily punished; let the
woman revert to the last husband THAT is,
to the man she was sold to)."-Pall Mall

TO A SCRAP OF sEAWEED.

Neglected flower that in the ocean blooms,
Poor exile from the fragrant groves OF earth,
What sorrow rises in thy salt perfumes
To what sad thoughts thy humble charm gives
BIRTH
Tossed by the tempest and the auctuant tide,
The vulgar plaything of the Shiny eel
Crushed by the vessels keel or cast aside,
What bitterness thy injured sense must feeli
Thy lovely sisters blush on field and lawn,
The lily, pink and rose are kin to thee;
Yet thou art destined from grim night till dawn
To hide thy envy in the moaning seal
Alas! none know why thou vert cruelty torn
From eafy woodlands and fair orchards blest,
Nor why thou shouldst not have been purely born
A tuberose, to grace some gentle breast
Unless the Eternal, in his august might,
A secret usage for thy beauty found,
And made thee to fulfill some sacred rite
Upon the ghastly foreheads of the drowned

Wear a White Hat.

The following lines, giving reasons for
wearing white hat, come up from an old
scrap book:
You ask me the reason wear white hat:
'Tis for Lightness wear it, what think you Of
that?
So Light is its weight, that no headache rue,
So Light its expense that it wears me out two;
So Light its color that it never looks dusty,
So Light though treat it, it 'rides rusty
So Light in its fashion, its shape, and its air,
So Light in its sit, it's fit, and its wear;
So Light in its turning, its twisting and twining
So Light in its beaver, its binding, and lining;
So Light to figure, so Light to a letter.
And if Light my excuse, you may Light on 6

1Yhy Called the cred Sea. /,

The name of the Red sea is derived from
portions of it which are covered with red
patches from a yard to many miles square
These patches are formed by vegetable ami
malculR, microscopic in size, which collect
on the surface and are particularly abundant
in the spring, dyeing the water an intensely
blood red. When not affected by these little
organic beings, tine ''Red sea" is as blue as
any of the other numerous seas known to the
