Be Wary of Choosing. Girls.

It was excellent advice I saw lately
given to young ladies urging them to
marry only gentlemen or not marry at
all A true gentleman is generous
and unselfsh. He regards anOther's
happiness and welfare as well as his
own. You will see the trait running
through all his actions. A man who is
a bear at home among his sisters and
discourteOus to his mother is Just the
man to avoid when you come to the
great question which is to be answered
yes or no. You need not die old maids
But wait until the prince passes by.
No harm in delay.
You will not be apt to find him in
the ballroom. Nor is he a champion
billiard player. He has not had time
to become a champion, for he has
had too much honest, earnest work to
do in the world. I have always OBJ
served that these champions" were
seldom good for much else.
Be wary in choosing, girls, when SC
much is at stake. Do not mistake a
passing fancy for undying love. Mar
rying in haste rarely ends we'll. Do
not resent too much the interference
of your parents. You will travel long
and far in this world before you will
find any one who has your true inter
est at heart more than your father and
mother. Philadelphia Record.

is no more an indication that the pleasant
days OF autumn are ended. than is the
tramp's arrival in the great cities.
Once there he undergOes decided
change. His wardrobe is usually improved,
for city people discard their clothing at an
earlier stage than do their country cousins,
but the great transformation is in his man
ner and mode of life Not only is he sur
rounded by the police. whose Watchful
lawlessness in which he has freely in
dUlged during the long merry summer
months" but the narrow confines to which
he is limited. the iostling masses with
whom he comes in daily contact, and the
radically different life he is compelled to
adopt, deprive him Of the light-hearted,
free and easy air that pervades him as he
approaches country mansion and de-
mands a meal from the good housewife in
a tone that would we'll become a general
demanding the capitulatiOn of a fortress.
In the large cities the tramp so far loses
his identity as to pose under another name,
and that still lower in the scale than the

tramps sleep in underground lodging
houses.
The basement or cellar Of a building on
one Of the poorer but central streets is gem
orally utilized for this purpose. The
guest" enters the front pOrticO, of which a
square space, perhaps twenty feet each
way, is set apart as the common room, and
dignided by the name Of office"
Here he pays his dime, frequently in the
form of pennies, and receives a check
which entities him to Il bunk and the free
dom of the place, This preliminary once
dispatched, and the relation of landlord
and guest established, a visible change
the latter. He is an Outcast and a vagrant
salamander stove and raises the tempera-
ture of the place to Il point where blankets
or covering Of any kind would be burden,
is his very own, and the rude lamps on the
wall are burning for him. Though dressed
in rags he sWaggers about with the airs Of
aIdude and the hauteur Of one Of GOtham's
famous -four hundred"
Having secured a chair and tilted it back
against the wall at the desired angle he
produces a pipe, generally a cOrn-cOb one,
as a reminder OF the country, and having
loaded it" the ammunition being often
discarded cigar stub. of which he provided
himself with supply during the day, adds
volume of sitting smoke to the already
foul atmO sphere Of the place.
Next, he ordinarily brings forth a sOiled
and crumpled newspaper and proceeds to
entertain and enlighten himself with the
news of the day. 1t may appear strange,

one he has rightly earned. When he be-
comes a denizen of one Of the great centers
of population he IS known as a bum and
conducts himself in wav TO fairly entitIe
him to the rather vulgar but suggestive
appellatiOn.
Although the city life OF the tramp varies
greatly from his normal state Of existence.
still there is one rule of his life from which
he never depacts-under no circumstances
does he seek any regular employment. As
a cover for begging or petty thieving. he
may tearfully ask for work, but with no in
tentiOn of performing it if Afforded an op-
portunity. Sometimes he is seen clearing
away the snow from steps and sidewalks,
and occasionally actually carrying in ton
of coal. But to be brought to this he must
be in pressing need Of money, or what is
more likely. lacking in professional self-re-
spect, which draws the line at all forms Of
manual labor.
ing"
This is the stereO typed appeal most FREE
quently made. 1t is the one most likely to
develop sympathy. especially on a cold or
stormy evening, and, besides, a lodging
place is tn @ one great necessity Of his eX-
istence. He can beg plenty OF food and
clothing, and find numerous places to warm
himself during the day, but when night
comes on he must find place to sleep. aad
that which for half Il year mas been as free
as the bOundless air and the water in purl-
ing brooks, becomes the one anxiety Of his
otherwise ight-hearted existence.

SUNDAYS in England.

The question of Sunday observance
is one which disturbs the clergy Of
England more, perhaps, than any
other, says an exchange. In some
places the clergymen themselves have,
in order to secure some sort of respect
for the day, inaugurated Sunday
cricket clubs, the only restriction be-
ing that as soon as the church bells
ring, the players shall leave the game
and attend to their religious duties.
An effort Is also being made to
encourage the opening of museums
and picture galleries on Sunday. The
position is taken that it is better to
provide some innocent amusement
than to allow the men to idle about
the streets and otherwise pass the
Sabbath In vicious idleness.

A Curious Optical Illusion.

A very striking optical illusion oc-
CURED to an author while engaged in
writing. He was seated at a table,
with two candles before him, when
upon directing his eyes to them, he was
surprised to observe, apparently among
his hair, and nearly straight above his
head, but far without the range of Wis
ion, distinct image of one of the can
dies. The image was as perfect as If
it had been formed by reflection from
piece of mirror glass; but where the
rejecting surface was he could not at
first discover. He examined his eye
brOWs and eyelashes, but in vain. At
length a lady tried her skill, and after
a careful search she perceived, between
two eyelashes, a very minute speck,
which, on being removed, turned out
to be a chip Of red wax, highly pol
ished, which was the real mirror on the
occasion, and which had probably
started into his eye when he was break
ing the seal of a letter, only a short
time before he observed the phenOme-

The word tramp" is a generic term and
comprises many species, between which
the universal points Of resemblance are a
loathing of work and passionate love Of
variety, both in diet ana scene.
From the plain Specification Of the term,
the tramp, as a class. first earned the title
upon long stretches of country road. turn
pixies, and railway tracks. 1t is amid rural
scenes that he fOrgets whatever trade or
occupation he learned in town or city, and
by slow gradatiOns becomes more bearded,
lazy ana better contented with his vagrant
lot.
AS the tramp is the child of the country,
it is there. upon his native heath. that he
must be studded by one who aspires to
become the historian of his class. With
country pc Ople and those who dwell in
villages and towns he is a familiar sight.
