 ''I appreciate the honor you have con- ferred upon me, count" said Edwina, with sigh, but can not marry you You are pleasing to me, and know you have a truly noble character, but you do not-do not--thrill me. I have longed all my life to be thrilled. It may be romantic and even silly, but years ago l determined that would marry none but man who could thrill me. am very sorry that"
 'One moment" interrupted Count Galvani. If it is only question of a thrill, I can supply that fast enough. Stand up, please"
 What do you mean, count?' cried the young girl.
 Just do as tell you, please" said the count, in the tone of the man who poses sitters in a photograph gallery. Extend your arm so. Open your hand. That's right Now
 And the count, after fumbling be- heath his coat for a few seconds, grasped her extended hand firmly.
 .'Oh," cried Edwina, ''how delicious! That is thrill, indeed. Count, am yours" And she threw herself into his arms.
 As the count left the palatial mansion of the heiress, he murmured:

ANOAueOs
 Our manners at the table are quite as important as the food provided for our guests. A lady, the word being used advisedly. is known by her gentle bear ing and her consideration of the feel- ings of others. She is always good listener, and never bores her neighbor with long tales of her own domestic troubles and vexations. It is clearly the duty of a guest to make herself as agreeable as she can when she is dining with friends. If she lapses into silence, and gives up to the mood of the moment, she is likely to become very stupid. One should be at ones best, and try to draw out the best in one neighbors Sometimes it is very hard matter to make conversation: but there is no individual in the world who can not talk on some one subject, and by little effort one may be able to hit that subject. Men, as a rule, like to be listened to, and clever woman can easily draw II ln out, so that he thanks his hostess in his heart for most delight full evening. There isn't man in the "OiAu WHO Wouiu kcb tilc SilSltcSt atom of amusement or pleasure from hearing Mrs. A tell of how Charlie had the whooping cough, and what dreadful time she was having with her cook. He would neither be amused, nor would he try to conceal his bore dom. On the other hand, woman smilingly and sympathetically listens to her neighbor, who talks for an hour about horses, of which she knows noth- ing. He, however, is sublimely uncon- scious that she is not more interested in horsefiesh than in anything else Tn the world. And so we women would do well to post ourselves in these vari- ous subjects, which men are prone to discuss, so that at least we may know what they are talking about. and be able to respond with some degree of in- tclligence, if we wish to make our selves agreeable in their society. liar. per's Bazar.

DID YOU EVER LOOK FOR BAey7

Did you ever look for baby, When the starlit skies glowed bright. And the dropping shade of evening Kept its tryst with dreamy nighti Did you ever look for baby, And long to see him peep And hold out arms for mamma Like before he went to sleepy Did you ever look for baby, When the first bright gleaming ray Of sunshine lit the hill-tops And drove the mist away? Did you ever look for baby And find an empty space In the restless arms, where dreaming Made for him resting placer Did you ever look for baby And think that if he knew The weary, dreary moments You are daily passing through; He would softly steal from angels, And down from glowing skies He'd nestle close. to kiss away The tears from streaming eyes?

The small boy was at table where his mother was not near to take care of him, and lady next to him volun- teered her services.
 Let me cut your steak for you" she said; If can cut it the way you like it," she added with some degree of doubt.
 Thank you," he responded, accept ing her courtesy; 'I shall like it the way you cut it, even if you do not cut it the way like it." and the lady actu- ally reached over and kissed him. Detroit Free Press.

A needless young man who has not profted by the blunders that his un- guarded tongue has caused him to make, was introduced at reception to an elderly and somewhat peculiar lady, whose hobby is the collection of relics and antiquities of all kinds.

 A CITY OF BETTER DAYS.
The Falling on in Dublin's Industrial
 Status,


 Status.
 The blow which fell on Dublin near ly century ago, and which checked it's material prosperity as effectually as the Spanish siege broke that of Ley den, did not operate to also blight its growth. 1t remains among the first score of Europe's centers of popula- ton, and the county of which 1t is the heart contains 50 900 more people than it did in 1841. There is only one other county in Ireland which does not ex- hibit loss in population of fl om 30 to 65 per cent. for the same period.
 This increase does not, unhappily, be- token a gain in resources and profitable activity. The average standard of wealth in Dublin has, I should think, declined considerably since fS41. Be- tween that date and the year 1900 the fall was precipitous. The ledgers of the old banking house of Latouche pre- serve a curious detail of proof. Of the 104 peers in the Irish parliament, S2 kept their accounts with Latouche, and the personal expenditure of these in Dublin aggregated s624, 900 in single year There were hundred town houses of the nobility then, and there were 305 members of the commons, who, from the necessities of the case, were either wealthy men or the sala- ried nominees of wealthy patrons. The mere presence of parliament must have meant the annual circulation of at least two millions sterling in Dublin.
