knows is coming, she ought to have it
ready, and If she is taken by surprise it is
her own fault.
Miss" a lover might very well say,
after certain stage of the proceedings
has been passed, 1.-THE time has arrived
when you expect me to propose and when
l am prepared to do so. What is your
answers" Would not this be far better
than it is for him to recite a form of
proposal that he has learned by heart,
which she read in novels, which are the
only sources of any information she may
have on the subiect2 1t would be an
ideal state of affairs to have things thus,
butt is utterly impossible. II you want
TO propose to girl you must brace your
self and make up your mind to go through
with scene.
TAKE PLENTY OF ROOM.
A general recommendation of value is,
propose out of doors, in the country, if
you can manage it. Get in the middle
of a place as big and empty as the desert
of Sahara never mind the scenery-and
have it out. You ought TO be out of sight
and out of hearing To do the thing
with true comfort you must have plenty
of space-must be able to below with
rage or shout with delight, or cry with
grlef-must have room TO jump, or dance
or kneel pleadinply. None of these things
can you comfortably do when you think
there is a chance of your being seen or
overheard. There is a story told of a
person at a summer hotel whose room
opened on the balcony, and who over
heard, in consequence, man making n
proposal, which was accepted; but it was
not an honest thing for this person to
have listened, and she ought, as soon
as she realized what was
going on, to have left her room or, at auv
rate, to have coughed or sneezed and
made noise to prevent tho progress of a
performance that was not intended for
her ears. How would you who read this
like to think that some one overheard YOU
when you proposed to the girl you once
wished to marry
You would object, naturally. This is
the great trouble about proposing within
doors but, unfortunately, the desert of
Sahara, or places of similar solitude and
ample dimensions, are not available often,
and it is necessary, usually, to make your
declaration OF love in parlor. Such
being the case, for hea een's sake, and for
your own as well, do it softly, and disturb
no one, The next piece of advice is to
take whatever answer is given you dec
orously, and don't go and give the thing
away If you are rejected. If YOU are
accepted it will soon be known, but il
is just as well to remember in this case
that the rest of the human race are not
quite as vitality interested in yourself and
your tiancee as you are. There, is there
fore, no necessity Of burdening your
friends with long conversations on the
subject of your mutual happiness
The final admonition which all lovers
should pay attention TO is not to propose
until you are reasonably certain that YOU
will be accepted, and above all things
never to propose unless you want to be
accepted, for in this latter case, the
unexpected may happen and you will be
in a terrible dilemma.

ing for the dear old man, who has had
many troubles and misfoFtunes beside the
loss of his sight, and who is now almost

with their feet up on their desks, occasion
ally appearing in shirt sleeves from the
cloak room barber shops, lounging around
in awkward attitudes and strewing their
desks and the floor with newspapers, torn
envelopes and bits of paper. Tidy people
in the galleries, and especially good house
keepers, are apt to be disgusted with the
House of Representatives at the first
glance. The only time in the day in
which the House is entirely decorous is at
the opening, when the chaplain is pray

speaker and the chaplain walk in Just be-

steps to his chair, takes the gavel in

pedestal at the right; then the speaker
says, bringing his gavel down, The House

The present chaplain of the House is a
young Methodist, from Virginia. a tall

very earnest preacher. who is well known
as revivalist and takes an active part in
the Moody meetings. 1t is one of the
curioSities of the contests over the office
