pocket handkerchiefs, and then they

and they ate them all up, for no man
was ever 50 much in love as to be shy
in the matter of eating.
by and by it came to the end of the
third act and after looking very rest
less and wrctched, George said fondly;
"Nou won't mind, dear, will you, il
just step out into the vestibule to
stretch my legs a bit, will you?"
If George had had half an eye he
would have seen that She did mind,
very much; no woman likes TO be left
alone in a theater, but she only said,
coolly: NOh, not in the least, il you

SO George crawled over the laps Of
half a dozen ladies, treading on their
toes. scratching their chins with his
watch chain and brushing the bloom

Old man Sam was sitting one morn

him a while they handed him bag of
tobacco and a handful Of cigars. and
were about 10 leave him when they
observed the children, and one of
them asked whose they were. "Dem's

sam. A sudden thought seemed -
come TO him as he looked at the yo
men, and crafty look crept .,-r
his face as he added: "Dey's

Mars Milton, cause dey's twins, jes'

ed on The fine looks OF the children
and their wonderful difference in size

The young men smiled aud gave
each child quarter as they left.
They had scarcely turned the corner
of the cabin when they saw through
a crack sam take the two CONS from
the children louh al than, and with
9runt of disappointment at what he
considered the small return of his ar

Lighter Mourning.

OF late years the rigors Of perfume
tory mourning have been greatly
modified. There is little heard nova
days of how long people should stay
away from the theater after the death
Of a relative, orat exactly what period
it is again proper to dine with "a few
friends" Even q widow need no
longer count tho threads Of white in
her collar and handkerchief in mortal
terror lest there should be one too
many. On the whole, the tendency IS
a sensible one, which in the nature
OF things, can hardly go too far. Peo-
e suffering real bereavement are
not likely to be guilty of undue levity,
while no sort of hypocrisy is more
hideous than an affeetation of sorrow

Strange Modesty.

DR.. Won den Steineu was kindly re-
ceived by Indian tribes in Brazil who
never dressed themselves except for
social festivities. They were. how
aver, extremely delicate minded. aud
their refinement took the form Of
thinking it a dreadful thing to eat in
public. Having received some fried
fish from a kindly hand, and being
extremely hungry, the doctor began
eating in public. All the company
present lowered their eyes, and
turned away their heads. If they
saw IA European at table d'hote they
would die of confusion. DR.. Won den
Steinen attributes this excess Of re-
fnement to a survival of the instinct
which causes a dog to hide himself
while gnawing a stolen bone.
