THE ENGAGED YOUNG MAN.

He who Follows These Rules Shall B

IL will be well for the man who ex
poets to sail smoothly into the matri
monial port TO continue those flattcring
attentions after his engagement which
preceded 1t. IL will not suffice for him
to talk of what hc is saving to make
their little home worthy Of her. He
must, by some magic, be able both to
save money for the future and to pro-
vide her with the flowers, books, bon
bons, theater tickets and other trifcs
which he bestowed upon her when there
was no future 10 DO taken into consider
alton.
He must treat her people with defer.
ence, cordiality and tilial affection He
must let her complain Of all their faults,
retail all the family quarrels and point
out all the family imperfections with
out ever allowing the knowledge he ac-
quires thus to tinge his behavior. He
must listen to her abuse Of them with
sympathy and never by any chance show
anything but the highest regard for
them himself.
He must like all her friends. He
must treat "the girls" with the init
macy which never borders ON familiar
ity; must enjoy their society, which
will be thrust upon him at all times
and places, and at the same time must
be prepared to agree with her estimate
of their shortcomings. IL will be just as
we'll for him never TO admire them too
extravagantly.
In public he must always be prepared
to show her the attention she needs, but
must also be prepared to let her "have
good time, unhampered by his devo-
tion. For instance, he must never let
her sit out dance alone, yet he must
never glover when she seems to be
dancing often with other men. His man
ner must be a perfect mingling Of devo-
tion and noninterference.
Incidentally it may be added that an
occasional dose Of neglect is wholesome,
and that a semioccasional quarrel is not
to be despised. philadelphia Times.

KYRLE Bellows VANITY.
How It Was Once Sadly Disconnected by an
American Girl.


There had been lively discussions
some years ago over then seemingly
important question theatrically, and in
deed socially, WAS or was not Kyrle
Bellew possessed Of great vanity?'
/ believe the matter has never been
definitely settled, though in an individ-
ual instance / recall it would seem there
was valid ground for decision in tho
affirmative.
The occasion was an informal "even-
ing at Mrs. Lester Wallack's, and
gathered about one Of the tables were
two or three young ladies, Mr.. Bellew
and other men. Bellew had some bits Of
paper in his hands, from which he was
idly fashioning little boats. II hear"
he drawled, addressing no one in par
ticular, "that your American navy is
badly in need Of ships. / propose to
remedy the trouble by presenting you
with a few" One girl spoke up quickly
in slightly sarcastic vein, II am sure
We all render sincere thanks in tho
name Of the American navy"
The actor favored her by an especially
comprehensive glance, and finishing his
boat penciled few lines ON 10 and
rather patronizingly tossed it over to
her.
The girl picked the boat up slowly
(this was the first occasion she had met
Mr. BELIEVE and read: my love TO you.
Kyrle Bellew." a rather vivid flush
overspread her face, but looking the
young man steadily in the eyes she said
in tones sufficiently clear for compre-
hension, "The sentiment inscribed here
Indicating the paper boat is surely too
much Of an honor for any one woman
to aspire to; so, with your permission,
Mr.. Bellew, will take it home, rattle
it and-send you the proceeds. She
then rose, bowed and left the table, at
the same time leaving Mr.. Bellew suff-
ciently disconnected to bite his lips and
permit his brow the shadow Of a frown.

The Slip Of Ills Horse Resulted In the Rider
Discovering n Great Mine.


One Of the most productive mines in
California was discovered through an
accidental fall Of the dscovcrer. Ho
was ono Of n hunting party that had
gone out from San Francisco during tho
Christmas holidays. While passing
along the side Of "a steep hill on a mar.
row trail his horse suddenly slipped,
and with his rider went down into tho
gulch
Happening to be tho last in the line
and some distance behind tho others, he
was not missed for some moments, but
when his absence was noticed the party
turned back TO look for him, fearing
some untoward accident. He was no.
where TO be seen, but the place where
his horse had slipped and fallen over
the bank, together with the traces Of
the fall, was plainly visible. Following
the tracks made by the falling horse and
man, and when near tho bottom, tho
men suddenly came upon an interesting
spectacle. Just behind clump OF bushes
which tho man and his steed had
crashed through on their way down
stood the horse, apparently uninjurcd,
while near by, ON q slab Of rock pro-
jecting from the snow, the man was
capcring like an Indian at ghost
dance.
Tho first impression Of the rescuiDg
party was that the man had gone sud-
denly crazy, but as he caught sight Of
them he suddenly ceased his gyrations
and shouted for them TO approach. They
came, when nc showed them several
Jumps Of almost pure gold he had has
tily knocked from the edge with stone
for a hammer and announced his dis
covery Of gold mine. The sliding
horse had brought up against the ledge,
and the restive animal, kicking vigor-
ously in the efforts TO rise, had struck
off the moss from the stone and dis

The peculiar murmuring sound, not
unlike the ripple Of the waves ON a still

shell or other hollow object to the ear,
is due to the fact that the concave sur

Our farmers are literally patroniz-
ing the line of sail vessels running
from Atlantic wharf TO New York
and Philadelphia. A schooner loads
with potatoes every day. The rail
roads greed and discrimination
against us has taught our people to
look out for cheaper freights. The
schooners charge % cents per barrel
and that is all the railroad ought to
charge. They carry potatoes to Bal.
timore for 90 cents and charge 80
cents to Philadelphia and 40 to New
York because they have had but lit
tie opposition to those points, but
let the. farmers patronize the boats,
all along the Peninsula, and show
they resent the discrimination against
them. BY this course they will save
money and ultimately get better
rates from the railroad. Many thous-
and barrels will go from Atlantic
wharf this year, where all have gone
by rail heretofore. From 400 to $50
barrels day will amount to quite a
large total at the end.of the season.
