What surprises me, considering the
vast number Of ladies who preach the
equality Of the sex In everything, Is
that an effort is not made to secure
equal rights in proposing. To marry
is more important to a women than to
have vote. Why, then, should pro-
posing be limited to one sexs Men are
naturally more bashful than women,
and the result Of the present one-sided
rule is that many man remains single
because he cannot bring his courage up
TO the proposing point, and rs neces-
sary consequence many a girl remains
husbandless. An association Of girls,
each pledged To propose to any man
whom she might deem a desirable hus-
band, would be far more practical than
an anti-crinoline society Henry La

order that the eagle NAV dine on sage
hen some hard work is necessary. anc
the eagle has solved the problem. A'

side of the mountain he startled a covey
of sage hens, which flew away dowr
towards the valley Suddenly an eagle
which had been sitting on the low groun,
rose up under the birds, which immedi
ately rose up high in the air, while th'
eagle Topped up after them. When the,
had risen high enough the eagle swoop
ed down from above. The terrified bird

singled out one, and as an eagle on th'
swoop goes like shot out of gun, h
soon seized his bird and the pair flew
off to a neighboring clif to dine. Ore

preliminary to matrimony, will be Q
more than ordinary interest to all youn
people engaged in or contemplating Ell

gagement was bIoken by mutual COZ

refused to give the ring back TO the pa
