An Old LadY's Boast,

Those who have charge of charitable institutions for the aged poor will tell you that no topic is more pleasing to some poor old women than the discus sion of their "better days" when they were the fortunate possessors of everything heart could wish for" as they are apt to express it. One old lady never tires of describing the fnery she had when she was bride; another boasts of having once owned ''goid-band chany tea-set" and six ''solid silver teaspoons" while a third dwells at great length on the elegance of 6 lowered silk gown and satin parasol with fringe fifteen inches long that she once owned. One poor old woman never says anything until the others are done boasting. Then she calmly remarks: "Well, never had no chany tea things, nor no silk gowns nor embroidered petticoats, nor open work stockings, nor gold ear-drops, TOT nothin' of that sort; but I Ha0e had four husbands, G7p' I'd like to know if any of you can beat that!"-Youth's COrOuanio0

 ! real estate agent sent customer to look at fve-room house, that be- ing just the size he professed to want. The house proved to be sadly out of repair, and the prospective tenant went back to the agents office.
 T didn't want sN-room house," he said.
 That isn't 8 six-room house" answered the agent.
 s'Yes, it is"
 But say it is not" and the agent began counting. "There's the kitchen, dining-room, reception room and two bedrooms. That's five, isn't it?"
 'Yes, but there's the room for im- proyement, and that's bigger than any two of the others" said the facetious customer. Cant you show me some thing else?"-Youth's Companion.

COURTlNG WITH 4 FLUTE.
A Method in Use Among the Sioux Tribe
 of Indians.

A Method in Use Among the Sioux Tribe
 of Indians.
 Counting by means of the flute is very popular among the Sioux Indians. The flute is made of willow or some other wood that has 8 bark easily de- tached, and is usually about foot in length. It has several perforations through the bark, each of which rep resents a musical note. The sound produced, though somewhat shrill and ffe-lil1e, is not unpleasant to the ear. The Indian youth who desires wife first mentally fixes his choice upon some maiden of his tribe.
 Then, some pleasant evening, he takes his flute and strolls through the village in the direction of the tepee of the maiden's father. He stations himself in a convenient spot, about fifty or sixty yards from her abode, and then drawing the reed from be- meath his blanket begins to play plaintive strain.
 While the young man is discoursing these strains the maiden has remained quietly within her fathers lodge, listening to the serenade with charac- teristic Indian co11roSure. When it becomes perfectly apparent to the fa- tter that his daughter is the object of this musical attention he steps to the edge of his wigwam, and, if it is dark, issues forth and cautiously creeps be- hind the youth and ascertains who he is.
 Then he returns to his daughter and makes known his wishes in words something like this:
 ''Go, my child: he is worthy Da- kota, and will make you a good mas. ter" Or: Remain, my daughter; he is not desirable person."
 The maiden, in obedience to her parents wish, advances timidly toward her lover if he is favored, or, if the paternal judgment condemn him, Evithdraws into the dark recess of the tepee, In case the suit is favored and the daughter has gone out to meet the warrior, the young man, on seeing her approach, gives a triumphant ''toot' upon his flute, and then, throwing down the instrument, rushes forward to greet her whom he has so easily won.-American Art Journal.

one ear is directed forward, why is MOI
known. a writer in The English Me.
chanic thinks this is to guard against
danger, being a survival of their origi-
nally wild habits. He says: Watch a
horse asleep through the window of his
stable and make a faint noise to the
front. That ear will be all attention.
and probably the other will fly round
sharply to assist. Now let him 90 ia
