A DELICATE PERSONAL MATTER.


Aneatly- written note which has just reached
this Office asks q delicate question, but the
entire letter bears such marks of sincerity and
refinement that We feel impelled to answer it
somewhat at length. The letter says:
II am % years old, possessing a high-school
education, q typewriter in one Of this depart
ments here. An earnest, well-educated man, to
whom / am much attached, has asked me to
marry him What Is your advice, should be
grateful for your views upon this general topic
of matrimcny."
The letter, as We say, bears such evident
marks of sincerity that a somewhat detailed
reply seems to be called for. Yet the premises
upon which We are permitted to base our dis
sertstion are SO mad equate that full justice
may not be done to question OF such mo-
ment
1t all depends. 1t Is Important that the
young man should be engaged in q steady
occupation which yields him, not merely
enough to support one, but to support two,
though here it is to be borne In mind that it
often happens that two, II they practice the
proper economy, may live as chearly as one.
The young man ought also to be terribly in
earnest about two things: first, the possession
OF his sweetheart. He must desire her and no
other. He must be prepared to sacrifice any
thing, even his life, for her; and surely he
must be ready to sacrifice thousand and one
of the comforts, or supposed comforts, of his
bachelor life, If it should be necessary for the
comfort Of his helpmeet. His second object
and he must be just as terribly in earnest
about this-should be to give at all hazards a
single-hearted. aggressive, thoughtful devo-

FEARED THE CAMERA.

Naval Students Who We're Disciplined by
the Snapshot Process.
The snapshot" camera has been
jeered at and sneered at in many
places and at many times, and the
camera fiend" has been eXcoriated for
his crimes, but the camera sometimes
performs the functions of a dis
ciplinarian with success. A naval
officer once found it more efficacious
than any article of war and more per-
suasive than court martials. 1t was
while he had under his tender care An
napolis cadets.
There was one thing that this officer
could not teach the youngest men in
the naval academy, says the New
York Tribune, and this was not to
squirm and start and jump and plug
their ears with their fingers when the.
heavy cannon were fred. It was of no
use to argue with them; when the guns
began to roar they forgot the argu-
ments. Pleadings were in vain and re-
proofs were useless. 1t was highly
ridiculous and anything buts martial
to have lot of young men whose pro-
fession it is to make war when war is
needed act like schoolgirls when the
sea artillery was IN noisy operaUon.
1udA1y JIG olncer LII upon ID p1dn.
He had a camera trained" upon his
gallant cadets without their knowing
it, and then he ordered broadside after
broadside to be fired The noise was
thunderous, and the actions of the
cadets were as usual most undignified
and most unwarlike. A few days later
some excellent photographs of the
young men acknowledgements were
hung in prominent positions to be a
perpetual .reproach to those who
plugged their ears. Those photographs
did their work well. The next time
the cannon roared the cadets stood
like statues carved from stone, petri-
fed with their fear of the deadly
camera" and its brutal franlkness.

Couldn,t Fool king Milan.

King Milan of Servia once went to
the hotel of distinguished lady who
was giving bazar for the benefit of
the poor children of Paris. As soon as
the king appeared upon the scene she
advanced toward him with splendid
silver salver in her hand on which was
beautifully emblazoned the family
arms On it lay pretty little bunch
of violets. 'tHow much, madame?"
asked the king. 'sTwenty-four lois,
sire" was her soft response. Milan
paid her the sum she had asked, with a
courteous bow, took the salver from
her hands, placed the bouquet in his
buttonhole and walked of with the
tray un7er his arm.

ACTORS SWEAR BY HIM.

A San Francisco Angel Whose Pocket
book Is Open to the Needy Thespian.
If you want to hear the name of any
man mentioned with enthusiasm and
reverence go among the actors congre-
gated on upper Broadway, New York,
some afternoon, says writer in the
Pittsburgh Dispatch. Grant? Oh, no.
Cleveland? Not much. Anybody you
ever heard of before? Never bit. It's
John Rademaler. And who on earth
is John Rademaker? you will wonder.
Just ask the first actor you meet.
tWhy, of course 1 know John Rade-
malxerl He lives in Frisco, and Is the
best man who ever drew breathI''
But who is he and what does he do
and what has he done? That is what
you naturally want to know. Then
you'll find out from two or three men
at the same time that John Rademaker
keeps big saloon in San Francisco
and is an ''angel." When an actor
from the east gets stranded IN San
Francisco, or indeed anywhere on the
Pacific coast, he goes straight to John
Rademaker. 1t appears that John
Rademaker has an elastic and sympa-
thetic auricular appendage that is al
ways wide open to the reputable men
in the profession who get stuck on the
slippery slope. Those who have never
been stranded two thousand miles from
home, with an idle summer ahead and
no bank account, will not be able to
realize what such friendship means
Imagine yourself in London without q
friend and without cent, as some
Americans are always to be found
there, and you'll know what the sen
| SatiOn is to the actor left in Frisco al
the close of the season. Then imagine
man like John Rademaker in the
strand to whom you go and pour out
your tale of woe, and who pulls out his
roll and says to you:
Swell, old man, 1 don't know you
but from what I've heard of you
think you'll make this good wher
you're in better luck. I'll take my
chances on you, anyhow. I'll jiSist
stake you for atstrip home. Oh, that's
all right-Iudon't want any paper-i1
you're not square your papers no good
Now, what'n you have to drink?'

that her mistress was out of town. On

Some days later, knowing that the lady

met him at the door and showed him to
the little reception-room. When she
carried his card up the stairs he re-

her predecessor, and she was not so
pretty, though her uniform was similar

as spotless He was realizing how much

gin and Are Maintained.
The marine globe. an apparatus to
produce currents similar to sea cur
rents, consists of glass globe, under

nents and the hollows of sea basins.
The bottom of the sea consists of an
interior sphere, concentric with the
one of glass, moving on a vertical axis
and worked by gearing. The sea
basins are filed with water, contain
ing particles of sterine in suspension,
which render all its movements visible.
The exterior of the apparatus does not
differ much from that of geographi
cal globe.
When the nova BILE globe turns upon
itself, says the Cosmopolitan, the
water is seen to start. From both
extra-tropical regions it. advances,
along the sea bottom, toward the
equator; there the two currents, from
the north and from the south, meet.

the best specimens of photography

these real, moving currents. emerging,
advancing on the surface, then disap-
pearing in the depths of these minia-
ture oceans, the capacity of which is
scarcely more than a few glasses of
! water.
This apparatus is both a useful play
thing for children and an object of
serious thought for students. Every
1 young geographer in our primary
schools would delight to follow with
his eyes, on this little artificial world
the marvellous evolutions of the water
of the oceans; every earnest investi-
| gator into the phenomena of nature
would be surprised at the facts re-
vealed by this simple instrument, and
would perhaps be disposed to question
the value of certain notions on the phys
les of the globe, which till now he has
lSltt WlGuOuC questioning.
The marine globe would facilitate
the teaching of geography, so far as
the sea currents are concerned, and the
notifications these effect in climate,
regardless of latitude; it may also aid
navigation, and furnish photography
with valuable data for the coordinat-
ing and completing of the experimental
study of marine currents, their origin,
their mutual relations, their tempera-
ture, their fauna, ETC. Finally, it
seems to me, it may promote the
science of physics, because it is, as con-
Germs the liquid element, the material
demonstration of this hypothesis which
led to it's construction: ''The liquid
element enveloping the solid nucleus
of the terrestrial globe, being set in
motion by diurnal rotation, receives
from this an impulse, which, modified
/ by the outlines of continents, pro-
duces. in nearly all their details, the

Charitable Birds.

There is strong feeling of pity
among birds, and sometimes they are
as charitable as men. A pair of robins
had their nest in fence near a house.
while-a pair of catbirds had built theirs
in a bush close by. The two pairs
Matched out their young at the same
time, and for awhile everything went
along smoothly. Then it was noticed
that the robins disappeared entirely,
and the conclusion was that they had
been killed. The young robins, de-
pendent on their parents for food. ap-
peared to be starving, and when the
catbirds came with a worm or bit of
food for their young the robins would
thrust up their heads and make great
noise. Presently it was observed that
the catbirds We're feeding the hungry
orphans, and every night, while one of
the catbirds covered its own young, its
mate performed the same service for
the little robins In this way both
broods were reared, the robins growing
up as strong and lively as though they
had been cared for by their own par
ents.

he REFUSED 70 Die.
The Miraculous Resurrection of an Old
Man from the Grave.

The Miraculous Resurrection of an Old
Man from the Grave.
Jules earle, of Juneau, is seventy
eight years old, but vigorous and well
preserved. Twenty-six years ago he
was living in New Westminster, b. G.
One morning as hessat in restaurant
awaiting his ordered breakfast he sud-
denly died-at least there eHyas every
physical evidence of death. A compe-
tent ysician examined him and pro-
nounced him deadEa victim of heart
disease He was laid out for burial and
his friends kept the usual vigil over
his body.
ALI the time he was keenly conscious
of what went on about him and could
realize the fate in store for him, and
yet he was as helpless as if he had
been really dead. In the afternoon of
the next day his friends bore him in
sadness to the graveyard. He suffered
untold agonies lying in the coffin, with
the lid fastened down. He tried in vain
to move or make noise to indicate
that he was alive. The trance held him
deathlike prisoner. Finally he could
feel himself being lowered into the
grave. AS the first clod of earth struck
the lid of his coffin he began feeling
warm blood pulsing from his heart. All
at once he could move his hands. He
struck the coffin lid and called out for
help. The alarmed panbearers stopped
shoveling dirt into the grave. He called
again. The majority of those present
beat hasty retreat. alarmed over the
fact that the dead had come to life.
One courageous friend unscrewed the
lid of the coffin and helped him out.
He never felt better in his life, and ran
about exercising his benumbed limbs.
The people believed they had witnessed
miracle. He returned to town and
entered the restaurant, hungry for sup
per, and when the cook and servants
saw him come in wrapped in his shroud
they rushed out through windows and
doors shaking with fright.
