You may consider yourself very
independent young person with the
ability to take care OF yourself, a
strong go-ahead business sense and q
self-reliance that makes you lose all
lear OF everything. Yet you are wo-
man notwithstanding all that, and,
according to the Philadelphia Times,
your nature is just the same, even
though you are perhaps a little
stronger than your sisters. There
will De time when the day has been
hard, the burden heavy and things all
at SKIES and sevens generally, when
you will lay down your air Of indie
pendence and be glad to bepetted and
fused over as much aus the weakest
member OF your sex. It is born in us
this desire to be loved and cared
for. The folding of a wrap around
shoulders that begin to be chilly when
limbs are too tired to go after a shawl
conveys more meaning than the mere
action shows to the onlooker. 1t
gives the weary mortal q sense OF BRO
lection, watchful care that is more
soothing than words when heart and
brain are too exhausted for
active demonstrations. A gentle
touch, q caress at an I'M
looked.for moment, the thousand and
one little attentions that a woman
reyels IN, are SO much more valuable
to her than to the giver that, if her
heart could be read, surely there
would be more Of this kind of gentle
care shown after the time for such de-
mo7Ennstrations is supposed to have
gone by. Married men forget that the
wlte,s heart yearns for those little at
tentlons that he lavished upon her as
a lover, but thought unnecessary
when settled down to the matter Of
tact business ofeveryday married life.
Such little touches are the glimpses of
sunshine amid the trials and storm.
They keep the heart young and the
spirit buoyant, and the older woman
gets the more she longs for the pro-
tectlng love shown in the little quiet
attentions that prove to her she is an
OBJECT OF care and unremittine
thought. ..~., y.

How an Arab Pays Court.

An Arab loves as none but an Arab
can love, but he is also nightly ex-
cltable and easily won. An Arab sees
girl bearing water or brushwood
and in a moment almost at glance
.is as madly liz love as ifhe had passed
years. in courtship. Hethinks ofnoth-
ing selse, cares and dreams OF moth
ing else but the girl he loves
and not infrequently, adds the
New Orleans Times Democrat, if
he is disappointed in his affection, he
pines and dies. In order to COM
mence his suit he sends for a member
OF the girls tribe who has access to
the harem and first insuring his
secrecy by solemn oath, confesses
his love and entreats his conf
dant to arrange an interview.
The contidant goes to the
girl, gives her flower or blade Of
grass and says: "Swear by him who
made this flower and us also that
you Will not reveal to anyone that

If the girl will not accept the bro
posal she will not take the oath. but.
nevertheless, keeps the matter per.
tectly secret from all. If she is favor
ably disposed to the match she an
swers: II swear by him who made

the place and time of meeting are set

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 2i.-The tornado that
devastated tho town of Rodbud, ILL.,, was
foretold by Prot l.. r. Hicks, the St. Louis
astronomer and weather prophet. In his
forecast for Noven Der, written ION Septem-
Dor 80 and published in Word and Works,
the prophet said

OF Mercury is on the 21st, the new moon is
on tho 18th and tina danger days Of the rcgu-
lar period are the 18th, 18Th and 10TH"
The Rodbud storm occurred on November
H. one of the three days named as danger
days by DR.. Hicks. On the succeeding days
storms occurred throughout the " estern
part of the United States.
"What effect will be produced by the
close approach to the earth OF tho comet
which is attracting so much attention
now" was asked Prof Hicks.
"a vitinting effect 1t iutensifes the
noxious condition of the earth's atmosphere

We can only see it SO far ss 1t is luminous.
There are dark rings out beyond these
luminous rings and how for these dark gas
