The Obiectional Waltz.

The waltz, pretty and graceful
though it be, is responsible for the de-
cline in dancing. 1t renders converse

away at n fell swoop with II ofthe
most engaging charms of a partner in
the dance. The quadrille is the favorite

our ancestors engaged in pleasant dis
course while treading that stately dance,
and the plain quadrille afforded many
Of us occasion to enjoy delicious bits Of

A CONNECTICUT SWAIN.
He Wa Mighty Proud of His Sweetheart
Back in the Ountry

Back in the Country.
There were a dozen of us in q street
car in New Haven one day when a very
pronounced type Of a young Connectl-
cut Yankee entered. Attention was at
tracted to him at once. for there was
much in his appearance and makeup
to suggest there's only q few of US
left" He read all of the advertising
cards carefully, and then the dial which
registered the number Of passengers
caught his eye. He left his seat, walked
to the end Of the car and examined the
dial critically, whistling softly to him
self all the time.
Whatever opinion he may have enter
tanned Of the device he kept it to him
self, for he resumed his seat without q
word, but still kept whistling softly.
Presently he stopped whistling, drew
an envelope from his pocket and, taking
out some photographs, handed one Of
them to an old gentleman next to him,
with the remark:
Don't you think that's a pretty
peart gale"
The old gentleman glanced at the
photograph, which was that of q rather
comely country girl, and handed it back,
remarking as he did so:
"a very attractive face"
We'll, I should say So" exclaimed
the young man. Never saw anything
like it."
He ran over half a dozen of the
photographs in his hand, which he had
evidently just received from q photo
graph gallery, remarking:
We'll, if Princella isn't a turtle-dove
they don't raise EN- in this country"
He handed one of the pictures to the
man on the other side of him and
asked:
What would you say if I told you 1
Was goin' to marry that gal next week ?"
Pretty girl. should congratulate
you," replied the man, as he examined
the picture.
That's what" exclaimed the youth,
heartily. She's the best gal in our
county: and I've had the pick an
choice Of ali Of 'em. There isn't one
of 'em that wouldn't marry me quicker
nor wink, but this is my choice OF the
whole ball OF wax"
Il think you will be doing extremely
Well" replied the man, kindly, as he
handed back the picture.
Pass her along" said. the young
man, as he handed the picture across
the car. Pass her along, and let me
hear your opinion. l think, gents,
there's a picture that's good for sore
eyes"
AS the picture was passed along from
n to another the free expression OF
opinion which he had solicited was very
generally given. 1t was evident the
young man was enjoying the dream Of
a youth head over heels in love, and NO
n cared to disturb his extreme
felicity. The picture drew forth only
the warmest compliments.
That's right, gents" remarked the
young man, enthusiastically, as the
picture came back to him; that's right,
every gosh darned word Of it. You
can't say nothin' too good about that
gal, an what's more she'll ride on these
ly'rs next week as my wife, b'gosh!"-

Children We're Cheap.

An American gentleman was riding
recently in the suburbs of a Nicaraugua
city when his horse accidentally ran
owe and killed a child that was lying
asleep in the road. its dirty and naked
brown body completely hidden in the
sand. Of course he was stricken with
horror and remorse, and hunting up the
mother, gave her all the money he hap
pened to have with him (amounting to
about forty dollars), as a balm to as
suage her grief.
Two days after, riding along the
same road, he saw ahead of him another
child squatted in the sand precisely in
the spot where the other was killed.
Dismounting to investigate he discov-
cred that the little thing could not get
out of the way, being securely tied in a
flat basket. He did not run over any
more babies you may be sure, but again
sought the mother, who proved to be
the same one to whom he had lately
given $40, and proceeded to bless her
-backward-in good, round Yankee
terms, for her carelessness, whereupon
the creature shrugged her shoulders
and indicated in the most innocent and
business-like manner imaginable, that
it was more money she wanted, not the
baby; and that there were a number of
other olive branches whom she would
like to dispose of on similar terms.

.'B. C.,,

Inc guests, but possibly not the host.
at a dinner given recently were greatly
amused by the innocent mistake of tia
little daughterl of one of the company.
When 4-year-old Rosalie, having tried
her knife and fork on the roast beef.
passed her plate to her father, he re-
ce1ved it in discreet silence; but the
host, Rosalie's uncle. said, quizzically:
Why, Resale! Aren't you big enough
to cut your meat?"
Yes, sir" she replied, putting into
form the thought which her grown-up
fellow-diners were too polite to utter.
Il am big enough at home, but this
meat is S o tough / can't cut it,"
Rosalie's father has a great friend,
Professor Bowlder, rather past middle
life, and looking rather more than his
age. The learned professor has a wife
who is also very learned.
One day Resale had been hearing O.
conversation between papa and the
Bowlders, to her distressingIy full of
dates, references to ancient history, and
epochs in art and literature. She had
made a brave but unsuccessful ATTEMPT
to appear interested in it all.
Evidently the problem of the Bowl
ders puzzled her, for that night, as she
was dreamily pulling off her stockings,
she asked:
Mamma, when were Professor Bowl
der and Mrs. Bowlder ma,ried?'
ooh, some time ago." Wa the reply.
~"Well-Monday?"
NO
"Well-Tuesday?'

much longer ago than Monday and re-
calling the learned conversation she
had heard. "well-B. C?'

HE EATS A SQUARE MEAL.
The Italian Faster Breaks His Forty-iv.
Day Fast.

Giovanni Succi's fast of forty-fiye days
terminated on the 20th at SID O'Clock,
in the presence of an audience of about
400 people, in New York. The worst
attack Of gastric trouble that he had
during his fast occurred at , O'Clock,
when his pain was SO acute that 1t was
feared ne would collapse. His face was
distorted and his hands twitched. When
the cocoa was prepared, shortly after
s O'Clock, Succi got off the lounge and
staggered to the table. The spectacle
he presented was pitiable. He looked
like skeleton automaton. He retained
the nourishmenta and gradually resumed
his former buoyancy. Succi's weight
was l04i pounds. His weight when he
began the fast was 147l pounds. He
drank during his fast q quarts of aka
line water, and 81 quarts of croton
water.
When Sig Hucci arose next day an
elaborate meal was placed before him.
He ate with extraordinary relish. Fol
lowing was the menu: Anchovies with
butter, chicken soup with rice, fried
smelts, fried calves brains, quail on
toast, cocoa pudding. fruit, CONNECTIONS,
ice cream, coffee, and a pint of wine.
Succi occupied two hours in consuming
the food placed before him. He never
faltered, but ate witha zest that puzzled
even George Francis Train. who was
present at Succi's feast. Julia Haw-
thorne and the poet, Stephen Massett,
were present when the faster dlned
At the conclusion of SUcci's meal he was
