The tramp, hardened though be was By

A Leap Year Incident.

Through the avenues open only to re-
ports we get the following: A good
looking, well-to-do and popular young
bachelor of Silverton was being leased by
the young ladies of club for not getting
married. He said: "Pil marry the girl
OF your club whom, on a secret vote, you
elect to be my wife. There were nine
members of the club. Each girl went
into corner and used great caution in
preparing her ballot and Disgusting the
handwriting. The result of the vote was
that there were nine votes cast, each girl
receiving one. The young man remains a
bachelor, the club is broken up and the
girls are all mortal enemies, united in the
one determination that they will never
speak to that nasty man again:-Wash-

Women and Worry.

Granting that a woman's nerves are more
apt TO become detraque - to borrow
French WORKMAN a mans are, u fact
which we have no wish to try to account
for, we are not at all sure that it is be-
cause she is more subject to the smaller
worries of life than man is, or, indeed,
that she is really more subject to them. 1t
is true that the cares of the household,
productive as they are of much grievance
and trouble, fall chiefly upon woman's
shoulders; but, on the other hand, mans
ordinary business or profession is quite as
full of small annoyances and worries,
which are every whit as irritating as those
that beset his wife.
The difference, we should say, between
the two sexes lies rather in the manner in
which they meet their troubles than in the
apportiOnment of those troubles. Wewould
not readily dispute the theory that it is
the steady and persistent pressure of these
small worries which work change in the
nervous system more surely than any great
and sudden trouble, just as the drop of
water hollows the Stones but we are in
clined to believe that the reason, in this
case. why one stone is followed sooner
than the other is to be found in the greater
softness of the stone and not in the greater
frequency of the drop.-London Spectator.

How Apples Are shipped to Europe.

In packing for transportation by rail
apples are sent loosely in barrels, but when
sent by water each apple is first carefully
wrapped in soft white tissue paper and
then in stronger brown paper. Then the
fruit is packed in barrels, according to
size, so tightly that it cannot shift with
the rolling of the vessel. The barrels used
for ocean transportation are much stronger
than those in which the fruit is shipped to
domestic points. Nearly all foreign buy
ers send to this city for their apples
Many of the invoices are made out to
titled names, which may or may not i'm
prove the flavor of the apples, according to
the private opinion of each reader. Lady
Seymour buys nearly dozen barrels
month from a big fruit house on lower
Broadway. Many barrels were consigned
to the household of the late Duke of Clar-
ence and Avon yearly.-New York Even

Order in the House,

The French parliament was not always
famous for the eXcitements and turmoils
of its debates. In the old monarchial days,
before the revolution, the sessions Of the
old parliament were exceedingly dull and
prosy affairs.
One day, it is related, a noble count was
trying to make speech, and a very prosy
speech it was, while all the other members
were either chatting or resting.
Presently the president of the body raped
slightly with his baton.
IF those gentlemen who are talking to
each other" said he, would kindly make
no more noise than those gentlemen who
are snoring, it would be much appreciated
by those gentlemen who are trying TO

LOST.


Down among the ferns and grasses,
Where the sweet wild roses grow,
Where the breezes softly linger
Passing gently TO and fro;
There one day lost treasure,
From my keeping let it go.
Cupid was the mischief maker,
he alone should bear the blame:
Blinded by his magic arrows
As they fast and faster came,
Little did guess the purpose
Till he'd fairly won the game.
Yes, my heart-it was the treasure
That | lost that summer day;
But my lover kindly found it
As he passed that selfsame way.
Tho he kept it, I'm not angry,
For he gave me his in pay.
