Rural COurtin0,

On the shores of the Moray firth-ths
spot need not be more specifically local
ized-there is a flourishing little village of
some l,400 inhabitants, consisting chiefly
of fisher folk. The young man and maiden
do not court in the orthodox fashion.
Their method is much more prosaic, and
what is Characteristic of one case may gen.
orally be accepted as characteristic of them
all. There is of course an occasional in
stance of genuine old fashioned courtship,
but that is rather a rare exception.

cousin Marack." And as he had no partic-
ular preference, he went straight away to
ask her.
"Wull ye tax me, Marack?" was the
brusque and businesslike query which he
put to the young woman in the presence
of her sister Bella.
But Mary had promised her hand to an
other that same evening. 81 Gamma tax

were made in advance of settlement. In

The Syndicate Forestalled.
Philadelphia Ledger

With view of opening a roof garden
entertainment on the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, New York, syndicate called
upon Manager Villas, and when asked
about it he replied:
"The fact is" he said, "that we have
been running roof garden here of our
own for "a years. 1t Is designed exclu-
sively for the employees of the hotel.
They have free access to the roof, and
on hot night several hundred of them
assemble up there. l believe they Have
music and dancing (perhaps not of the
serpentine order), and they appear to
enjoy themselves. There is no charge
for admission. Every member of the
hotel staff is entitled to front seat,
with hat check thrown in. So far as
l have observed, the performances are
of most elevating and refined
character. Our lease runs until 1903
Until that date l do not think there will
be any change of bill on the Fifth
Avenue Hotel Roof Garden. Our show
will have been going then for just A
years, which will fairly entitle us to the
distinction of the longest run on

Where she thought that none would see il

And murmur of her secret from the east

She never dreamed of Harry, whose eyes
are everywhere,
Whose little feet go dancing DER hillock
and through deli.
Dear blrdie,yo may trust him; he wouldn't
think 1t fair
About your little nesting around the
world to tell.
He'll only whisper softly to loving sister

"oh, down beside the river, and where
the lilies shine,
The very .prettiest sight, dear, is in the
prettiest place
Three little callow brides, and mean
to call them mine.
but I'll never, never touch them; I'll
watch them day by day.
And by and by will hear them sweetly
singing from the tree.

They need not be bit afraid of any boy

CALLED DOWN.
A Pompous Nobleman who BlufIed and
Got Left.

Got Left.
A good story is told, says the London
World, of purse-proud old nobleman
who was travelling through the rural
districts of Sweden. In that country
the people do not have quite as much
respect for the titled. aristocracy as in
some other loo llities on the continent.
One day the nobleman came rolling
up to country tavern, and, as he stopped
his carriage, he called out in an imperi.
Gus tone:
"Horses, landlord-horses at oncep'
81 am very much panied to inform
you that you will have to wait over an
hour before fresh horses can be brought
up" replied the landlord, calmly.
"How" violently exclaimed the noble
man. "This to me My man, demand
horses Immediately"
Then, observing the fresh, sleel5. look-
ing ones which were being led up to
another carriage, he exclaimed
"For whom are those horses?"
"They are ordered by this gentleman, :"
replied the landlord, pointing to tall,
slim individual few PAGES distant.
81 say, my man" called out the noble
man, "will you let ME have those horses
if I.pay you liberal bonus?"
NO. answered the slim man, 81
intend to use them myself"
Perhaps you are not aware who |
an" roared the now thoroughly agitated
and irate nobleman. II am, sir, Field
Marshal Baron George Spare, the last
and only one of my race"
II am very glad to hear that" said
the slim man, stepping into his carriage
sit would be terrible thing to think
that there might be more of you coming
| am inclined to think that your race
will be foot race"
The slim man was the King of
sweden.

II don't object to passengers putting
their feet on the seats" said railroad
conductor, eff there is plenty of room in
the car and they will put something
under them, their shoes may not be
clean, and, even If they are, moving
ing them about on the cushion is pretty
certain to bring the dust to the surface,
and passengers don't like to sit in a
dusty scat. But if the passenger VINO
comes along looking for seat sees you
after taking down your feet take up the
newspaper upon which they have been
resting he takes the seat willingly and
with due appreciation of the fact that
you have been thoughtful of the com.
fort of others as well as of your own"

had a seat Just behind an old couple,
evidently man and wife, who had been
fault finding for some considerable
time. and | was reading On account OF
a railroad accident when the wheels
suddenly left the rails and the coach
fell over the emhankment,. l turned
over twice and then rested, bottom SIDE
up, says writer in the Detroit free
Press. The 30 of us were considerably
mixed up, and the first cutlery had
scarcely died away when l heard a
woman's voice asking:
"Henry, are you killed."
"No; are your" was the answer.
"Didn't tell you? Didn't l say it

"That wont be nothin' new"
just then some of the passengers
came with ropes and axes and began
the work of getting us out. The hus-
band was nearest to the window and
the easiest to be got at, and as he was
hauled out the wife shouted to him; :
Henry Williams, if l was out there
I'd give you piece of my mind purity

"Durn the old satchell My backs

When they got her out she had left a
shoe behind; her nose was skinned
bonnet crushed, dress torn and spectacles
lost, but as soon as she got on her feet
she limped along to where Henry was
sitting on stump and describing his
sensations to group of passengers, and
said -

The woman of tho rnture.

Susan B. Anthony is of the opinion
that we are on the verge of an era of
unmarried women. Our civilization,
she says, is changing. Daughters cam
not be supported at home, and there is
nothing there to busy them. The women
used to spin and weave, make carpet
and soap, but now all that is done for
them in the factories. Young men do
not make enough money to support their
wives, and there is such craze for dissi-
patton among them that the women
would rather go into store for almost
nothing than to marry.

Tho Growing Use of Coke.

Crushed coke is now being introduced
into the eastern part of the United States
in competition with anthracite coal for
domestic use. There is much less gas
and bad odors from it than from the
hard coal. 1t is also being used in
locomotives on the fast passenger trains
of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad be-
tween New York and Washington. 1t
will probably be used very largely in
the future in Pittsburg, now that natural
gas is becoming scarce, as its freedom
from dirt and small amount of ash, as
compared with the bituminous coal
formerly used before the days of natural
gas, make it preferable.

If any one wishes conclusive tes-
timony as to the utter failure OF the
sympathetic method Of dealing
with crime, It may be found in the ap.
palling fact that in this country we
have reached very nearly total OF
5000 murders year. Capital punish
ment Is practically a thing Of the past
and the execution Of a murderer ex-
cites far more attention than the
murder itself. In no country claim
to be- civilized Is there less security 70
life; and the laws agains; peddiing are
better executed than the statutes which
prescribe the punishment Of homicide.
Nevertheless, this result does not indi-
cate vicious sympathy with the criml-
nal. A government WHICH is all pity
results as mischieyously as one which
is all force, and any departure from
the divine ideal Of justice and mercy
joined results in anarchy, Unregll-
lated compassion is Is destructive Of
order and as prejudiciaL Ito the higher
interests of life as unrestrained YEN
geance. If the results Of human OK
perience are worth anything, then
