A Chinese Proposal.

When man in China desires the daughter of neighbor as | wife for his son, he writes to him as follows: "On my knees I beg you not to despise this cold and common request, but listen to the words of the matrimonial agent and give your honorable daugh- ter to my slave of son, so that the pair, bound by sill1en threads, may have the greatest joy. In the beauti- ful springtime I shall offer wedding presents and give couple of geese, and let us hope for long and continued fortune and look forward through end less generations to the fulfillment of genuine love. May they sing of plenty and have every joy. On my knees I beg you to consider my pro posal favorabiy and throw the mirror like glance of your eyes on these lines. :" To this the father of the prospective bride replies that he will attend to the portion of his poor and poverty stricken daughter, that she might not be without bedelothes, cotton clothing hairpins and earrings. Therefore it was to be hoped that the couple would have constant fortune"

delayed more than two hours, so that the parade was over and the crowd had been gathered for some time about the speakers stand before he reached the grounds The stalwart, hand some young fellow, with his long, wavy chestnut hair, his piercing brown eyes and deep-toned, magnetic voice fairly captivated his audience before he had uttered a dozen sentences. It seemed as though he were being who had lived and moved with Washington and gained his confidence, so that he knew his inner soul In most graphic manner he told of the simple life of the planter of Mount Vernon, the heroic endurance of the commander of the tattered forces at Valley Forge, the master spirit of the constitutional con vention, the supreme first president of the republic. Then he closed with an | impassioned outburst, in which he re- cited the exalted virtues of the inn mortal Washington and urged the emulation of them upon his hearers.
 The orator utterly eclipsed his previ- ous fame and the audience was carried away with enthusiasm, all save a stern-visaged white man and a skulking old negro. Col. Temple had not heard q single word. His heart was with his idolized girl. While the excited people rent the air with huzzas, he made his way through the crowd, that respectfully divided at his approach.
 With bowed head he was slowly msl1 ing his way towards the Woodville tavern, when bright, cheery voice said:
 "Why, colonel, I've looked for you everywhere. Where is Miss Grace?"
 You infamous scoundrell A friend of mine will see you without delay" cried the old man, passionate1y.
 What can be the matter2 Are you in?'
 Away, sir, or there will be murder Do you hear? I would take no mean advantage"
 The young man regarded the re- treating form of the old soldier with grave concern, when a voice at his side said:
 ''Marser Howl, ol' marser lose his haid; he's gettin' or. You jis' see Miss Gracie," and Mizraim hastened after the colonel.
 Three hours later, and 1t was near the setting of the sun, Col Temple and his most intimate friend, Judge Lotion, rode slowly up the broad lane that led

making complaint to its mother, that while no formal betrothal had taken place she had every assurance of his love and, indeed, it was his expressed purpose to ask her hand in marriage during the coming visit. She could not understand his perfdy; she must not, she could not doubt, yet there were the words in cold cruel type.
 ''He is an unmitigated scoundrel, and you must forget him, my child.
 Then he sought to soothe her by comforting words, but, alasl there Is no balm for a heart thus wounded. Mans perfdy is more cruel than the knife of the assassin or the poison of the asp.
 After long time he persuaded her to go to her room and seek sleep; but, as for him, he walked his apartment all night. His face grew very stern in this long vigil and there was infinite menace in 1t as he came out to his breakfast. Grace had sent word that she was unable to leave her room, but she insisted that he take part In the days celebration. Learning from his daughters maid that her mistress was in no alarming condition, the colonel left the house in search of Mizraim.
 "There will be no company here to- day and you may tell Piney that she need not go to your young mistress for any orders"
 Look CT yere, marser," began Mig raim, with the easy freedom of life long favorite, 'dar's de"
 "Shut up, sir. Do as I bid you," and the colonel turned sharply away upon his heel.
 Well, clar' to goodness-gracious, know'd marser wuz ergittin' ol, but nebber fought he were gwine crazy. Dat de fus' time in his life he was inn perent to or Mig, n dat sho' sign he losin' his min. I mus p'int'dly look arter him, sho'ly."
 The day was glorious. A gentle southwest wind blew fragrance from the great swamp, rustling the mistle- toe clumps in the boughs of the big gum trees and waving to and fro the pendant graymoss that hung down from the spreading branches of the great beech trees on the ridges, which seemed like so many giants with long, struggling locks. It touched the slen- der fingers of the pines until they played mournful melody and caused the bright green leaves of the bay tree to send forth ripples of laughter The gloomy colonel, however. as he passed In turn the swamp the beech and the pine groves, had no eye for the weird scenery and no ear for the voices of the stirred trees.
 Equally he did not regard the i'm mense crowds that had already gath cred in the streets of Woodyille. The imposing pageant was lost upon him. He spoke now and then to those who addressed him, but he moved about as one in dream. Still less did he ob- serve that old Mizraim had followed him to town and was lodging about closely in his rear.
 The train which brought Marton was

maintained strenuously that the law was made only for the weak. He had no patience with those who appealed to the arbitrament of the courts. Still he was most gentle, quiet man who never disputed, declined to take any active part in politics, and entertained with an easy grace that is the charm of true Virginia hospita ity.
 1t was the evening of the day before the 22d of February and the colonel drove home from Woodville in excellent spirits Every arrangement had been thoroughly completed and the weather promised to be suspicious on the mor- row. Before he entered the house old MiZraim encountered him.
 Deed, marser, it do seem laick ebery- ting tote far fer us. De ice'ouse CT plum full CT game n fish m Piney's frowin' herself away on de cookin' an hit looks somefn' laick de good or times afo' de wah, marser."
 This intelligence added to the good humor of the all-hospitable master of the house, whose handsome face was covered over with smile as he en- tered the great hall of the noble old colonial manor that his great grandfather had built. He was sur prised that Grace did not greet him ac- cording to her custom, for he was sure she must have heard his voice. Search ing anxiously about he found her in a corner bathed in tears and sobt ing as though her heart would break.
 Why, pet, what In the world is the matter?"
 Without uttering a word she placed in his hands a Richmond paper and pointed to u brief paragraph. His eyes opened wide in astonishment as he read.
 Cards are out for the wedding of Howell Marton, Esq, the brilliant young lawyer, and Miss Hattie, daugh- ter of John W. Powell, the well-known capitalist of the city"
 The father was silent for some mo- ments as he stood over his idol, whose hair he stroked gently Finally he asked, In unsteady tones:
 "Did you care for him so much, pet9"
 70 father" cried the girl, passionate ly, as she threw her arms upward and clasped them about his neck.
 Was there-did he ask you to be his wife?"
 It was some time before the agita- tion of the girl permitted her to speak. Then she told him, as weary child

to the Temple mansion. They were conversing earnestly as they dis, mounted.
 "I insist, judge, that you follow him to Richmond and demand satisfaction I cannot understand how he could have disappeared so quickly"
 Mizraim, after his master fell into the company of the judge, had hastened home and now stood by the side of the colonel who suddenly started forward, as he cried:
 "There is the villain," and, carried away with infinite passion, hastily drew revolver, leveling it at Marton, who was advancing and scarcely ten paces distant. The excited man did not perceive that his daughter was fast approaching from the house.
 Papa" she cried in glad accents. not observing his tragic movement.
 The eyes of Marton had been fixed upon the girl too, and he had seen nothing. Mizraim, who had not lost gesture of his master, rushed forward and wrested the weapon from the old mans grasp, concealing it about his own person and then quickly returned to the horses.
 The amazed colonel saw his lovely daughter enfolded In the embrace of the man he had been so near to killing, and then, turning to the judge, cried in dismay:
 II have indeed been mad. I should have known that no Marton could do a dishonorable thing"
 Colonel" <" said Marton, approaching with the happy girl at his side, "Grace and desire your consent to our mar riage. That newspaper paragraph was an infamous"
 Gentlemen have no need to make explanations one to another, my dear Marton. You may have Grace, and may God bless the union Excuse me for a moment" he cried, as though suddenly reminded of an important duty Then he hastened in the direc- tion of Mizraim, who was leading away the horses.
 "Mizraim, have changed my mind. Tell Piney to cook such a dinner as she never-n

Do You Wish the Finest Bread
 and Cake?

It IS conceded that the Royal Baking Powder Is the Pures and strongest of all the baking powders The Purest baking powder makes the finest, sweet est most delicious food. The strongest baking pow. der makes the lightest food
 That baking powder which Is both purest and strongest makes the most digestible and wholesome food
 Why should not every housekeeper avail herself Of the baking powder which will give her the best food with the least trouble?
 Avoid all baking powders sold with gift
 or prize, or at a lower price than the Royal,
 as they invariably contain alum, lime or sul-
 phuric acid, and render the food unwholegome Certain protection from alum baking powders can be had by declining to accept any substitute for tho Royal, which is absolutely pure.

Deafness is caused by an unframed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets infiamed you have a arumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to itsnormal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous sur faces.

During the reign of terror in Paris in 1793 many of the nobility were re- duced to starvation and beggary. The abattoirs sent their hides fresh to the tanncries without removing the tails, and in cleaning them the tails were thrown away. One of these noble beg gars asked for tail, and it was will ingly given to him. He took 1t to his lodgings and made (what is now fla mous) the first dish of oxtail soup; he told others of shis good luck, and they annoyed the canners so much that a price was put upon them.
