The Melancholy Season.

The season has now come when the
humorous writer proceeds to describe
with much glee the struggles of the sum-
mer resort maiden to ensnare the occa-
sional man. The pleasantly, like the
stovepipe joke, is perennial, having re-
Cured for some years as regularly as
the summer. And unfortunately it has
a certain amount of truth in it. In the
struggle for life of large watering
place, where the girls are many and the
competition fast and furious, scarcity
imparts to the entire masculine sex
fictitious value, and the most inferior
specimens assume an exaggerated inn
portance, just as small, poor fruit may
command fancy price during a year
when the peach crop has failed.
The natural desire for attention, the
potent fear of appearing neglected in the
eyes of the other women, the deteriorat-

whom in New York, under happier con-
ditions, she would hardly care to bow.

Large families, it has often been re-
marked, are uncommon in France. Pos
sibly the fact that there seems a very
great prejudice against them may help
in some degree to explain the fact. A
father of a family of four children and a
highly respectable man, M. Lacroix,
finds 1t absolutely impossible to obtain
apartments near his place of business
at st. Mande, near Paris. At several
places he was received by concierges
with civilty until he ventured to say he
had rather large family, when the door
was promptly shut upon him. Going a
little farther out of town to Vincennes,
he managed, as he thought, to secure a
place and actually paid the "denier a
Dieu," or blackmail levied by concierges
on new tenants.
On presenting himself, however, with
his four children he was politely but
firmly told that the bargain must be de-
clared off. Fortunately M. Lacroix is a
man of resource. The forest of Vim
cennes is close at hand, and there he has
erected a huge tent, divided into sepa-
rate apartments by means of curtains.
For the present he declares his new
abode is q delightful one, for the weather
in Paris is particularly fine. Meanwhile
he is taking legal proceedings against
the owner of the house in which he took
the lodgings. News.

Sam. Liking For HI. PlSymats.

Eight-year-old Sam spent winter
in Florida and was there limited to
two little girls for playmates-the
only children in the vicinity. Both
were charming little maidens-one a
plump, heavy little blond damsel,
and the other slim, thin, witchy
little dark eyed elf.
1t was soon apparent to the young
mans mother that he exhibited de
cided partiality for Ethel, the stout
little playmate, always giving her
the largest piece Of cake, the lions
share of the caramels and the prefer
ence in all matters of play. So the
mother remarked one day, with wise
desire to equalize her sons atten-
tons:
Sam, you ought not to give Ethel
more than you do Isabel. You should
treat them just alike. Isabel is just
as nice as Ethel.
1t is easily imaginable that the
small boys mother was somewhat
staggered when that discriminating
youth answered gravely, II like 'em

Allcock's Porus Plasters have at
tanned a worldwide reputation solely
upon their supersative merits. They
have many wouldbe rivals, but have
never been equalled or even approached
in curative properties and rapidity and

them, and they are recommended as
the best external remedy for weak back,

Early wedding castoms.

The enamored maiden should have
learned long ere this time that to
change the name and not the letter
is to change for the worst and not
the better" Also that to marry and
yet Ito keep her own name is to keep
her condition forever the same"
Getting down to the wedding it
self, it is interesting to know that
the word is derived from the Anglo
Saxon term "wed, which was the
name of the security given by the
bridegroom at the espousals. This
''wed" was held by trustees, and the
bridegroom further added such pres
ents as he could afford, all OF them
to go 10 the bride, or in fact to revert
to himself after he fulfilled his con
tract of marriage. New York Sun.
