When riding by night on the PAM
pas used to enjoy lying back on the
horse till my head and shoulders rested
on the animals back. My feet were
raised till they pressed against the
horses neck, and in this position, made
by practice safe and comfortable, says
the Naturalist in La Plata, I gazed at
the starry sky, seeing nothing of earth,
but letting my mind absorb the impress
sion created by the vast circle of the
heavens glittering with innumerable
stars.
To enjoy this method of riding thor
oughly the rider must have perfect con-
fidence in the sure-footedness of his
horse and the horse must have a SINH
lar confidence in his rider. The AMI
NAL must 60 over level, grassy ground
and at swift harmonious pace.
Then the illusion is that of soarine

A Man Can Marry on 81, 500.

No man has right to get married on
less than ST., 800 a year. At least that
is the conclusion reached the other day
at the close of long discussion on this
subject. Of course that means if the
man is going to take for his bride a
sweet and lovely young woman, who,
while being happily provided for at
home, has not been over-indulged in ex-
travagances, and who has the sense to
know that she can hardly expect box
at the opera and lots of diamonds from
the young man who has only so lately
firmly established himself in business.
And even if the girl is one of those who
has known what it is to be out in the
world at work for herself, she can
hardly be expected to marry fellow
who can not do as we'll for her as she
did for herself. She has managed to
get along beautifully by herself on $50
or $50 month, with plenty of nice,
sensible clothes, a trip to the theater
now and then, and every summer, or
may be every other summer, nice lit
tie jaunt away somewhere, to forget the

flee life. And the way this money was
to go was very nicely settled, too. The
young man won't be likely to have
home of his own to take his winsome
bride to. and there is the unfailing call
of the landlord on the first of the
month to be met and that meeting
means $40 sure, and maybe more. Sixty
dollars will disappear early in the &C
tion by the time the butcher and bakor
and candlestick makers and some othe,
peoples monthly bills have been set,
tied /; $3.50 year is placing the esti.
mate at very modest figures for the veal
ing apparel of each during the year,
and when all this is added up 1850 il
cared for and something must be pu.
away for rainy days, and doctors bills,
and occasional trips to the theater and
the like and $1,000 is gone Still
there are others who think they can get
along first rate with good deal less
than this.

HANDsHAkINe WAS A TRIAL.
Peculiar Aversion of Famous Scotch


Peculiar Aversion of Famous Scotch
Architect.
George Meikle Kemp, the architect
of the Scott Monument at Edinburgh,
was q man who raised himself from OBJ
scurity by the sheer force of talent and
determination, says Youths Companion.
He had q retiring nature and o shy
and shrinking manner towards strangers.
The habit of handshaking created in
him an embarrassment and aversion
which he could scarcely control, and
one of his friends gives an amusing de-
scription of the manner in which he ac-
complished the deed when it became
inevitable.
The two were walking along one OF
the streets in Edinburgh in the full
flow of an animated conversation, when
Kemp suddenly became aware of q
friend approaching them from the op-
posite direction.
Instantly the current of his thought
was arrested, he lost the thread of con-
versation and then he became silent al
together. A whimsically troubled ex-
preston crept over his face and ner-
vous commotion developed itself in his
manner.
Extraordinary movements began in
his right hand and arm, which he kept
dangling and jerking backward and for
ward in helpless way, as if he had en-
tirely lost control of them. Gradually
the hand appeared to stiffen, and rose
with the arm until they were at right
angles with the body.
With powerful effort he shot out
his hand and grasped that of the friend
who had approached, and then, the Or
deal passed. with a sigh of relief, he
briskly resumed his part of the CONVEX
sation with the air of man who has
performed an unpleasant but meritori-
Gus action.

Small Change of Conversat;o,

How wearied one becomes of the
hackneyed quotations which are on
everybody's lips Ardently, but in
vain, do you wish that every rose you
see might indeed be 'the last rose of
summer, so weary are yon of hearing
them declare it. Make remark about
name, and they are painting to put
the question, What's in a name ?''
with an air of conscious and original
wit. Tt seems as if to their constitution
y suppressed quotation were as danger
GUS as suppressed gout; and were they
to enter a darkened room without a
reference to darkness visible" the
quotation might strike inward with fa.
tai effect. Speak of an object of beauty.
and they must throw out the obserya.
ton that thing of beauty is-and SO
On. Should you mention any sight or
sound, seen or heard little way off,
they will trip up your last words by re.
minding you that distance lends en-
chantment..to the view" If they call
at your house but seldom they will in,
fallibly assert that their visits are like
those of angels, few and far between"
if they come often, that they return to
you like a bad penny" Is the prac-
tice of quotation, then, to be ruthlessly
suppressed without pity, without ex.
,eption Certainly not. There are
some quotations which are not merely
permissible, but indispensable, and
which we feel we could no more do
without in writing and conversation
than we could get on without the small
change of commerce.

thirty days; the oil man would come
later and bring an expert.
The farms were bargainel for at

Johnson invited his friends out to see
his find
Il tell you, boys" he said, as he rode
up and tied his horse to the meadow
fence, 1.-The whole earth is just a.
soakin' with it, and it's jist burstin'
out of the ground. You see this coun-
try has never had any oil taken out OF
it, he went on glibly, "and as it is

"There's enough left for me and my

By this time others, having heard the
news, had arrived at the farm, and quite

by Mr.. Hobbs.

men after they had alighted from their

| The expert gave a glance over the
field, took quick survey of the con-
formation of the country and opened
his lips to speak but before he could
articulate word, Mr.. Hobbs broke into
the conversation with a remark that sent
the cold chills down Johnson's spine.
And is>it them blue patches that in.
dicate lie ?" he asked, with a glance
half pitying, half contemptuous.
That's fact, for I used MORN two
gallon on my ole mowin' machine a.

buyin' a new one."

livid with rage. "And I'll land you in

Don't talk to me about swindling."

johnson, who retreated to his buggy.

the whip and drove rapidly away.

HER SISTER NELL.

When Tom Norton and his wife came
from the North to the prairies of South
western Louisiana to try rice-farming
they brought each their most cherished
possessions.
Toms consisted, for the most part,
of a varied and interesting collection Of
theories.
He brought, also. a very respectable
financial backing and fund of good,
practical common sense These saved
him from collapse when he saw his the
ories knocked out by the hard facts Of
his new life.
Mrs, Kate brought her etchings, her
water-colors, her jars, vases, rugs and
draperies. She had a rather worse
time arranging these in 'Cadian house
than Tom had with his theories, which
is saying good deal. Both succeeded
fairly we'll, however, and at the begin
ming Of the second summer their house
had become the rendezvous of 1.-The
boys, " lot of young fellows from vari-
ons Northern States, most of them,
like Tom, rice planters. Their home
was at present board shanty, set in
the midst of ar-stretching rice fields,
whore they kept house for themselvs af-
ter the manner of men unmatched of
women. Small wonder they found at
Toms pleasant respite.
! John McRae, whose rice fiat was over
on Bayou Nez Pique, came oftener and
stay ed longest He was older than the
rest, and quieter.
He had dined with them, one breath
less noon, and afterwards crossed to the
parlor. which Kate had trick of keep
ing cool and shady in the hottest
weather. Kate filled the pipes, Tom
took the sofa and Mac. stretched in
most comfortable chair, smoked while
in silence.

Character in Ties.

Everybody knows there is a character
in the face, in the hands, and some say
even in the feet; that yan can tell a
man BY his walk as well as by the
company he keeps-you certainly can
tell the company he keeps by his walk.
But have found that there is charao,
ter where people have till now not pro-
tended to find it-in tbs. necktie, The
meek man wears atie to match-this
season 4 tiny little bow; the aesthetic
man a rose-colored tie of soft silk drawn
through gold ring; the young swell
wears the last new thing in the grand
arcade; and the very correct man fol-
lows the young swell and usually wears
something not quite SO pronounced.
