1t was on an electric car, bound from
Harvard square to Boston. He was a sus
ceptible Harvard student, she as pretty a
girl as you could wish TO see. He wore an
immaculate white scarf and was arrayed
like "A lily of the field She had brown
eyes that extended back to her soul, and
she knew how TO use them. She left the
car at the central gate of the Common,
and he sighed and watched her through
the car window until she was out of sight.
An hour later he was strolling through
| West street viewing the shoppers with q
critical eye, Suddenly, from the mys-
FERROUS interior of a dry goods store, bun
die in her hand, her cheeks flushed with
the ardor of the chase, she came forth,
fairer than before, and underneath the i'm
maculate scarf he felt a joyous commotion.
At O'Clock he was at the Adams House,
and, as in duty bound, made a cursory ex
animation of the ladies' dining room He
had inspected scarcely half the tables
when his heart stopped and his eye was
riveted. Just underneath mirror she sat,
Invested of her wraps and nothing short of
ravishing
ut is flte," said he, and stared at her
until there was danger of the head waiter
calling the police
At O'Clock he was hurrying up Ire
mont street in the overture of threaten
ing rainstorm bound for Park square In
front of the fremont theater he thought
of his immaculate scarf and fine raiment
and sought shelter in a doorway.
Another moment and the world around
him grew misty, She stood beside him,
her skirts in hand and despair in her face,
without macintosh or umbrella to shield
her from the rain.
He glanced at her a moment, rolled up
his twelve dollar trousers and departed on
a run. A few doors down the street was a
furnishing store He dashed into it,
Give me an umbrella, quick" he said.
Here is one," said the clerk; "a. so,
genuine natural wood and"--
Hang the wood" said be-
He Owed into his pocket. A two dollar
bill, two ones and forty five cents in change
Call it S4.45. It's all I've got"
"All right" said the clerk.
He threw down the money and rushed
back to the doorway.
She was gone.
Then he raised his umbrella and started
to walk to Cambridge. Boston Herald.

Parson Din was tried, of all places in
the world, in New Jersey. for being too
attentive to the ladies' One of the accu.
sations brought against him was that he
had gone down on his knees to some of
the girls. 1t looked bad for the parson
till an aged brother brought the other
presbyters all up in heap by asking
those among them who had never in
their lives been on their knees to a girl
to rise, Not minister left his seat.
They looked at one another sheepishly
for minute or so and then burst into
laughter 80 much for that being
anything against a man, quoth the aged
brother. This, coming from New Jer-
sey, is very shocking.

Relapsed man is found in three forms
one, the most marked and least human, is
that which ensues when he has, as a child,
been carried off and kept-often for several
years-by a wild animal. This is the acute
form of relapse, and exhibits a wholly
carnivorous appetite, the voice of a wild
beast, extreme ferocity, and a temper
quite impossible to humanize The second
and milder form occurs when a young
child has run ~ld or been deserted, and
manages to keep itself alive without hu,
man aid.
The third form, now very rare in Europe,
but not uncommon in the Ardennes and
other districts where the wolf still lives, is
clearly the result of the mental malady of
lycanthropy, sufferers from which are
yearly brought to be touched by the Holy
Stole of ST. Hubert, who, if less potent
than his yotaries imagine to drive the
latent poison Of hydrophobia from the
tainted blood, can still minister to a mind
diseased, and with mystic and consoling
rites cures sufferers who exhibit beyond a
doubt all the worst traits by which relapsed
man is marked in the completest form of
retrogression. London Spectator.

Ostrich Farming in South Africa

Ostrich farming is one of the important
industries of south Africa, which as yet
furnishes the bulk of the ostrich plumes
for the markets of the world. There are
probably 10000 domesticated ostriches in
Cape Colony. Each bird is supposed to net
his owner forty dollars per annum. The
Enclosures in which they are kept are
usually built Of stone, but where stone is
not abundant wire fences have been en-
ployed with equal success.
The birds are commonly plucked once
every eight months, yielding one pound
weight of feathers each, but many farmers
only pluck sixty feathers at a time, so as
not to cause too much irritation and result
ing Inflammation, which is very injurious
to the health of the birds and lessons the
next crop of feathers. The birds in these
large fields find plenty of food, rarely hav-
ing to be fed with mealies, beans, lucerne
or other cultivated food products.
The number Of eggs laid varies from eight
cen to twenty-four the male bird usually
excavating the nest in some sandy spot, but
both birds assisting in the incubation, tax
ing turn about But it is during this period
of incubation that the plumes are at their
best, and many of them are utterly spoiled
for commercial purposes. OF late years
artificial incubating has been resorted to,
and with perfect success, for it has been
found that fewer eggs are spoiled by this
method, and the young thus Matched are
no less vigorous than those brought up by
the birds themselves The value of feathers
exported from Cape Colony during the past
thirty years is estimated at over $50 600, 900,
the total weight being about l, 200 tons

Catching Men.

Lady journalists, the most emanci-
pated of them, do not appear to write
quite like men. 1t is not likely they
will do so, at least not in our time. It
is not desirable they should, the lady
journalists will answer, which may be
quite true Still, by way of a general
observation, one may remark that news
paper men do not as a rule give two
thirds of their space to the subject of
getting wives. They are ungallant
enough, probably, to consider that the
topic is not worth SO much space, and
that wives can be got in plenty without
going into the newspapers about them.
With women it seems to be different.
The lady writer asks for the industrial
emancipation of women She demands
equal wages; she talks at times as if
women were already on the high road to
self support, and yet everlastingly she
comes back to the same topic of how
best can woman catch a husband If
husband hunting is the end all and the
be all of woman's existence still, as it
was in the days before the sex was
emancipated, what was the use of eman-
cipation at all? Girls understood very
well how to go cunning for men even in
the old days of bondage. A noted
woman writer, whom one would expect
to be advising her sex how to improve
their health, intellects, or at the very
least how to get on in breadwinning
occupations, gave a whole newspaper
column recently to telling girls what
kind of young ladies were the most apt
to get husbands. This may be the proper
thing, of course. 1t shows, however,
that it is hard for women to divest them
selves Of the sex idea even in their bread
winning employments, much harder
than for men.

House to the bill to promote Indian ed

1t is not the credit of the people of
Lynden that they have undertaken to
institute a boycott on the Whatcom
Reveille simply because il has con-
ceived it to be its duty to the county to
oppose the road bonding proposition
now before the people. Their action is
not only unjust to the Reveille, but is a
great injustice to themselves. 1t is
seldom that the methods of labor agita-
tors and sand lots politicians receive
the endorsement of intelligent and or
dinarily fair-minded people. If any
citizen believes it to be his "patriotic
duty" to withdraw his support from
any paper it is his privilege to do so,
but the exercise of that privilege in the
manner resorted to at Lynden is worthy
only of people who permit themselves
to be swayed by passion and prejudice
rather than by reason.

Things That Are Told.

New varieties of narcissus are grown from seeds, which give towering bulbs in three or four years. Ordinarily the narcissus is from bulbels, which flower the second year.
 Professor Fernow, in recent address before the Kansas state board of agri- culture, laid great emphasis on the value of shading the ground for forest trees. It is as much, it would appear, an ele- ment in good forestry to have shaded ground as in fruit culture.
 The oriental spruce, says Rural New Yorker, is q shapely little beauty, and one of the most desirable of all ever. green trees, particularly for small gar. dcns, One of its best points is it's habit of keeping it's branches right to the ground, even in large specimens; and one of it's worst points is that it is one of the most difficult of sprures to trans. plant successfully,

The Niagara, all things considered, is perhaps the most valuable white grape in cultivation. Vine vigorous, healthy and productive, of medium sized punches of fruit. The berries are large, pulpy and sweet. Moore's Diamond is pure native. Vine vigorous and productive. Berry about the size of Concord and greenish white in color. Martha is of medium quality as regards fruit; the vine is hardy and vigorous. Pocklington is large showy grape. Lady Washing ton requires long season. Rebecca is delicious grape; vine moderate grow CT. Empire State ripens with Concord; vine vigorous, fruit tender, juicy and of good quality. Duchess ripens before Concord; medium sized berry and of ex- cellent quality. Winchell, new grape of promise, seems destined to become valuable on account of earliness, fine quality, productiveness and vigor of the vine.
