Proposing Under Dlfaculties.

An English writer tells an amusing
story of country house where regu-
lar daily routine is observed, and where
no chance is given one of breaking the
monotony. It is of man who wanted
to stay in a country house, thinking it
would give him the opportunity of pro-
posing to girl with whom he had been
in love for long time. His visit was
to last fortnight, but the last evening
came without his having the one chance
of being alone with her during the
whole time. AS he sat at dinner (of
course he was at the opposite end of the
table where she was) he felt the time
was fast passing away, and in few
hours he would no longer be in the same
house with her.
When the ladies went to the drawing
room he would have to sit on in the
dining room. His host might allow him
to look in at the drawing room for q. few
minutes that evening, but after that his
presence would be required in the bill
lard room. In utter desperation he
took up the menu card and on it wrote,
"Will you marry me:' He doubled it
up, telling the butler to give it to the
lady in question. He did so. She read
it and with the perfect sang froid born
only of the Nineteenth century said,
"Tell the gentleman Yes"

short time ago Stockport tradesman

and exhaustive reply, covering several

ties he often manifests sympathy with the
working classes. In the Ashton-under-
Lyme county court few years back--to
take one example out OF many--a laborer
brought an action under the employers

again the poor fellow had to explain how
the accident in dispute happened; every
time the barrister could not understand. "
though to everybody else In court the thing
was clear enough. At length the judge,
seeing how matters stood, said to the
plaintiff:
"You had better address your answer to
me-
But, your honor" said the man, II
can't make him understand
That's an impossibility," said Judge
Hughes, laughingly; syou may make me
understand, but you won't make him"

70 Those WHO Fan.

Courage, brave heart; nor ln thyspurpose faitsPs
Go on and win the fight at any cost.
Though sick and weary after heavy conflict,
Rejoice to know the battle is not lost.
The field Is open still TO those brave spirits
who nobly struggle till the strife Is done,
Through sun and storm with courage all un-
daunted.
Working and waiting till the battles won.
The fairest pearls are found in deepest waters,
The brightest jewels ia the darkest mine:
And through the very BLACKLIST hour OF midnight
The star of Hope doth ever brightly shine.
Press on press on. the path Is steep and rugged.
And storm clouds almost hide Hopes light from
view;
But you can pass where other feet have troddem
A few more steps may bring you safely through
The battle o'er victor crowned with honors;
BY patient toll each difficulty past,
You then may see these days OF bitter failure
But spurred you on to greater deeds at last

The Ethics Of the scarfpin.

With the regulation Teck, palpa-
bly, nadeup scarf, that is not an imi-
tation Of any known that may be
made by the wearer, the scarfpin is
stringently tabooed. 1t enjoys in
such a standardization almost as
much significance as it would if
stuck in the middle of a pincushion,
and indeed about the same effect on
the beholder.
The four-in-hand or cravat when
lied in this way requires that the
pin be not inserted in one corner, as
was permissible when the smaller
Scarfs and lilliputian pins were worn.
Nor in the middle of the crosspiece,
with a trite and stilted suggestive
ness. But in order to come as near
rs possible to the center of the space
seen through the waistcoat opening,
and because it appears to give q
savor Of utility in seeming to hold
the knot intact, there is the best ex-
yuse for having it penetrate the mid
die Of the tie, just upon the lower
edge of the crossfold.
Never with a Windsor tie or era

There are many ways of preserving
milk SO as to keep it sweet, but one Of
the most satisfactory is that which is at
present practiced at an establishment in
Texas. The milk, fresh from the COW,
is subjected to boiling heat, and after
the air has been expelled from it the
cans are Theoretically sealed. When the
process was first invented, about fifteen
years ago, several dozen bottles were
sealed up. Every year some of these are
opened, and after fifteen years keeping
the milk has in every case been found
perfectly fresh. st. Paul Pioneer Press.

Ny sweetheart my loveling! you aarkened all
the day,
When from my silent dwelling your footsteps
turned away;
The morn was dark as midnight, the MONDAY
sad as dawn.
The milk white daisies dropped their heads
along the dewy lawn.
My darlingl my dearestl sought the garden
round,
But never in a blossom your precious face
found;
No rose was red beside your lips, no lily like
your throat,
No sound or thrilling Of your voice in any
thrush's note.
All! What is like your eyes, dear2 gray sparkles
of the sea,
So clear and crystal shining their bsryl glances
be;
And where is any flower of all that may COM
pare
With the softly dancing glitter Of the sunshine
in your hair.
Alone through lingering daytime listen for
your feet,
Those springing steps no longer along the path
way beat;
hear the dewdrops rustic in the branches
overhead,
But home and you together for many day
have fed.
My life is sad and weary, too dark with want
and pain,
But your dear eyes would bring its light and
gladness back again;
My soul is tired of desert sands, bereft of cheer
and balm,
For you were like the diamond spring beneath
its lonely palm.
Come back, come back. my darlingl Across the
spaces heari
Come light this night of grief and gloom. my
Hesper shining clear;
Not long have to linger. not long to call or
cry;
Come back my treasured come, my heart, and
bless me e'er die.
