what a Carriage Tells.

The manner in which a woman leaves
and enters her vehicle is advanced by
some writer as test Of whether she was
born in the purple, or at least accustomed
to carriage life. This authority says: She
should have one foot out and firmly set
upon the carriage step before she relin-
quishes the sitting posture. Then the
body should follow easily and naturally.
Nothing is more awkward than to see a
woman thrust her head forth first and
then find herself forced to double
herself up to accomplish the rest Of the
exit. Watch one who knows how to grace
fully sink her weight from one foot to the
other, almost without losing perfectly
perpendicular position, securing instantly
q walking poise as she touches the ground,
and the difference of her method and that
Of another who lands very nearly in
tumble on the sidewalk will be discerni'

WATCHING.

The fisherman bid his wife good-bys
Then laaped in his gallant bark.
He set all sail. for the breeze was stt6
And on sped the trim " Skylark."
His bride of a week watched on the beach.
TIL the vessel was lost to view.
And breathed prayer she homewart
walked
For her husband brave and true.
Out on the oceans broad expanse,
Where the pillows break and roar,
A fierce storm ragged and the fishers craft
Sank-to rise on its breast no more. -
Not a soul was saved all sank beneath
The cruel, treacherous waves;
And the moaning wind sang a requiem
Over their watery graves,
Two years have passed. yet a woman frail
Goes down to the beach each day;
Her restless eyes scan the busy craft
That sails DER tho glistening bay.
Vain hope has shattered her anxious mind;
Faint is her hoart and sore;
She knows not her lost one waits for her
Above on the golden shore.

Lane and Chef Thomas by old Kansans.
These two men were the pet politicians of
the State. Jim was bold and Chet was sly.
Once Lane visited Junction City to make
speech on Sunday.
If there is any objection to my speak
in, he remarked to the committee, tell
'em I've been a Methodist on probation
for forty years."
A great crowd gathered to hear him.
He did not like Junction City. Looking
over the beautiful stretch Of prairie he
began his speech in very solemn tones,
sayings God has done much for your
city, All his hearers seemed to think
3d. God has; done much for your city"
he said again. slowly and thoughtfully.
1t was very still-the great crowd held its
breath, and Lane continued: "God has
done much for your city-n1an very little -

Indestructible Tickets.

An inventor, possessed by what many
long suffering travellers will regard as per-
verted ingenuity, proposes toeffect Large
annual saving on the elevated railroads Of
New York City. He states that these rail-
roads pay 900 year for printing tick
cts that can be used only once and $s5 900
for clerical help. He proposes to avoid
the greater part Of tn expense by the
Introduction of machine which he has
designed for supplying indestructible
steel and nickel tickets. The purchasers
put the tickets in a box, when the tick
ct sellers supply is exhausted he pushes a
knob, the box registers the number OF
tickets extracted and the tickets are sold
over again, ad infinitum.

The Oldest Epitaph.

The Oldest epitaph in English, which is
found in churchyard in Oxfordshire, and
dates from the year 1870, to modern read
ers would be unintelligible, not only from
its antique Typography, but from it's obso-
lete language, the first two lines Of which
run as follows, and may be taken as a
sample of the whole: Man com & SO
how schal allie dede be; wen VOW comes
bad & bare; moth hav ven we away fare;
all Us werinesS vt We for care" The mod
ern reading would be-: Man, come and
see how shall all dead be, when you come
poor and bare; nothing have, when we
away fare; All is WEAKNESS that we for
