yspianation OF Term Mach In Vogue ~
Present.

Present.
Apropos the recent disturbance In re-
ligious circles over the definition Of
'spooning" the Tennessee version OF II
Is given, says the ST. Louis Republic.
"Spooning' parties are popular in
some quarters. They take their name
from good old English word, wh en-
was intended to ridicule the. alleged
fantastic actions Of a young man or
young woman who IL in love. Tor
some reason, which no one ever could
explain, everybody polxcs fun az the
lover. In fact, that unhappy character
Is never heroic in real life, no matter
what great gobs Of heroism are piled
about him ON the stage, and In all the
romantic story books. The girl In love,
and the boy Ina love, are said to be
''spooney."
When 'spooning" party Is given
the committee In charge Of the event
receives spoon from each person Who
attends, OF else presents each guest
with spoon. These spoons are fanci-
fully dressed in male and female attire,
and are mated either by the similarity
Of costume or by a distinguishing rib
bon. The girls and boys whose spoons
are mates are expected 20 take care of
each other during the continuance of
the social gathering.
OF course, the distribution of the
spoons is made with the greatest posi-
bic carefulncss, the aim being to SO
place them as to properly fit the case of
the young people to whom they are pre-
sented. The parties are usually given
by the young people of some neighbor-
hood, where the personal preferences
Of each spooney is well known, and
they are the source of no end of fun. IL
Is possible, also, that they serve as aids
TO matrimony as we'll, and are there
fore commendable, since an avowal is
rendered more easy TO diffident swain
after he feels that his passion Is not a
secret, but that his weakness for "a
spooney maiden Is known 10 his friends
and enemies on the committee which
dispenses the spoons 1t may be men
toned that after the spoons have been
distributed among the guests, each
couple retires for consultation regard
ing the reasons which caused the award
OF mated spoons in their case. This
consultation Is known by the name of
"spooning"

The singular Experience of French SOL
dlNr-

dier.
An old French soldier, Col. DE Con
neville, In writing the story of his mill
tary career, describes one curious adj
venture, which had nothing warlikc
about II, but in which for a momert
he was in danger OF his life. During
one of his campaigns, says the Youths
Companion, he had stopped for the
night In a house In which lived a lady
and her daughter.
IL was early May, and In the evening,
after dinner, | went out with the ladies'
for walk. We took u road leading
ont of the village between stone walls
about four feet In height Here at a
place where the road made sudden
turn, SO that we could not sec what lay
before US, heard all at once strange
noise. 1t might have been produced
by tempest, but there was not a
breath OF air stirring.
At that moment, my two companions,
with signs OF extreme terror, clambered
over the wall, and / instinctively fol-
lowed them. We were hardly on the
other side before dense drove of pigs,
at least hundred and fifty feet long,
came round the turn with such fury
that no obstacle could have stopped
them.
III we had not been out of the road,
we should have been knocked down,
and the whole drove would have gone
over US. The women told me that we
should have been picked up dead. or at
least so mutilated as TO be good for
nothing.
The swine, II appeared. were driven
out 10 n wood In the morning, aud at
night were driven back To the village
and fed. The prospect Of the trough
made them so eager that they entered
the village like an avalanche.

DUAL BRAIN ACTION.
An Insane Patient Who Was sonstinss
welsh and Sometimes English.

An Insane Patient Who Was Some "a mes
welsh and Sometimes English.
A curious case of dual brain action is
described In Brain. An insane patient
varied considerably In his mental con-
dition. In one state he was subject 70
chronic mania, spoke English, was fair
ly intelligent. and was right-handed;
In another state he was subject 10 de-
mentia, was almost unintelligible, but
what could be understood was Welsh,
and he WINS then left-handed. In his
English intervals he remembered clear
ly what had happened in previous Eng
lish periods, but his memory was a
blank 10 what occurred during the
Welsh stages. He preferred TO write
with his right hand. but II asked 10 do
so. would write with his left hand, and
then tho writing was from right TO left.
Mr.. Bruce, who observed the case, In
fers from IL that the cerebral hemis-
pheres are capable of individual mental
action, that the one mentally active at
any time can control the motor funo-
tions, and that the patient lives two
separate existences during the two
stages through which he passes, tho
mental impressions In each existence
being recorded In one cerebral hemis-
phere only.

An unsophisticated Young lady Learns
the Value Of Drafts. ~
A little knowledge Is by no means q
dangerous thing, when II comes 10 busi-
ness matters Even q small amount
there might save one from a mistake
like the following, described by the De-
troit Tribune:
II want to send a hundred dollars TO
friend in Chicago. said handsomely
dressed young lady to the paying teller
of ono of the city banks q week or two
ago; II want TO buy draft"
Her roll Of tens was quickly cx-
changed for n Chicago draft, and she
tripped out of the bank. Two days
afterward she returned and said she
had concluded not TO send the draft,
and would like to have the money re-
turned.
Very well" said the teller. where
Is your draft?"
''ohl tore II up. ! didn't suppose
that made any difference"
1T makes hundred dollars differ
ence," replied the teller, unless you
can return the draft, or get your father
TO give the bank bond for the amount. Z"
II wouldn't have him know about
this for anything In the world, she re-
piled; but that seemed TO be the only
alternative. and she departed In an ex-
tremely unhappy frame of mind. In
two hours she returned with the torn
pieces of the draft pasted together.
They had been thrown into a CRATE
where, fortunately, no fire had been
kindled. She recovered her money, aud
with II she got a useful bit OF informa-
ton about the value OF drafts.

There Is o use for English sparrows

O novel purpose TO which cock sparrows
may be devoted somewhat In compensa-

from some source inherited consider
able sporting blood, though he may not
cut much of shine himself In a street
brawl with urchins and sandlotters, Is
pretty generally known. That he has
a wholesome respect for American JUS
ticc Is also familiar fact Cock fight
ing Is prohibited; dog lighting like
wise So, In order 20 have just as much
fun az he would at a cock or dog fight
John has made experiments with cock
sparrows and the result Is said COM
pletely to MI the measure Of his happi-
ness. The lighting sparrows arc trained
on the same principles as game cocks;
their wings arc clipped and their spurs
fitted 10 gaffs as keen as the point Of
needle. They can soon be trained 10
make as good fighters as two Spanish
roosters, and those who have witnessed
an exhibition OF this sort declare that.
