LOVE AND PROPOSALS.


esting Junet1fe.
There is . clever statistician who could
teach . thing or two to the novelist
This statistician has attempted to CLASH
fy the action and methods Of proposals..
and as . result has presented tabulated
figures extremely interesting to psychol-
ogists. Out of 100 cases SO gentlemen
take lady in arms, 81 gentlemen kiss
lady on lips, four gentlemen kiss lady
on cheek, three gentlemen show very
good taste by kissing lady on eyes, and
two gentlemen kiss lady on hand. It
is to be presumed these two out of 100
are the timid, difndent kind. though it
is possible that they might be Of the
quietly sentimental nature One gen.
tleman kisses lady on nose. 1t must be
added that the statistician is careful to
insert the saving clause of ''by mistake.
There is even q record of . man kiss
ing . lady on edge of shawl, but, thank
goodness, there is only one in 100. and
the chances are that this man is peculiar.
Seventy-two hold lady's hand, IL
hold it very tightly, IA have Jumps in
their threats, and nine exclaim aloud,
Thank God!" Only seven out Of 100
declare themselves to be delriously hap
py, and five are too full for utterance.
Three out of 100 stand ON one foot when
they make proposal, and two go down
ON one knee, while nine make formal
prelude something like the slow music
at the play, We suppose, when the vii
lain appeals to heaven to witness the
consuming flame of his affection for the
heart he plots to ruin. etc.
The behavior of the lady under the
circumstances is equally entertaining
and instructive. Out of 100 cases 81
sink into the arms of gentlemen, 6S rest
their heads on gentleman's breast, and
only one sinks into the arms Of chair.
Eleven clasp their arms around the gen.
tleman's neck, six weep tears Of JOY ST.
lently, and A weep tears aloud-what-
ever that means. Seventy-two have eyes
full of love, and nine out of 100 rush
from the room to tell somebody. Only
four are greatly surprised, and 81 of
100 knew that something was coming
Five giggle Historically. and one even
sneezes Only one of 100 struggles not
to be kissed, while six kiss gentleman
first. If we believe the statistician, one
out Of 100 women will say, "Yes, but
don't be a fool ''-Philadelphia Times

Do Not Sleep ON the Left Side.

There is little doubt that an immense
number of persons habitually sleep ON
the left side, and those who do SO can
never, it is said. be strictly healthy. 1t
is the most prolific cause of nightmare.
and also of the unpleasant taste in the
mouth on arising in the morning. All
food enters and leaves the stomach on
the right side, and hence sleeping on the
left side soon after eating involves a sort
of pumping operation which is any
thing but conducive to sound repose.
The action of the heart is also seriously
interfered with and the lungs unduly
compressed. Hence it is best to cultivate
the habit of always sleeping on the right
side, although Sandow and other strong
men are said to invariably sleep on their
backs -Pbiladelphia Times

THE MONEY ISN'T THERE.


A Pickpocket who Was Foolish Enough
to Steal . Ladys Pocketbook.
81 Just swiped q leather, Jim" said
a pickpocket to another of his profession
as he came across him sitting on a bench
in Union square.
"Wus it one O. them purity ones what
the women carries round de street in
der hands?''
Eyes, I swiped it up on Fift' avener
when she wus lookin inter er windy"
"If yer'd been in de bizniz as long as
1 hev, yer wouldn't er took it"
"Why:''
'Tain't with it"
"a Teller might strike er big haul,
TINT way somA time"
mot on yer life he wouldn't. I've
swiped q load on 'em. an never got
one yit that / could git beer ont ON.
Dey don't carry money in dem feathers.
Dey's only er bluff. Try dat one yer've
got and see If it's emmy good"
CHANGING about him warily to make
sure that no one was watching him, the
pickpocket opened the purse. He found
three samples Of silkoline, a patent
glove buttoner. q card advertising 10.
ton for removing blackheads from the
face, a sheet of flesh colored court plas
ter, some samples of scrim and Madras,
a list of prices Of carpets. circula,
showing an illustration Of patent host
supporter, a card of small safety pins,
two slabs of chewing gum warranted
to cure dyspepsia and o card bearing
her address and instructions to take hel
there if she met with an accident.
That's all dere is it" said thu
man who had 'swiped' vhe pocketbool
as he turned it upside down and shool
it, with look of disgust ON his face.
Didn't l tell yer" remarked thu
other. 1--WE 'swiped' dem things till
I'm tired. Dey re all de same. De wo

Animals Respect One Another's Righfs.
Truth forces the observer of nature to
admit that birds and other creatures ap-
portion the earth among themselves just
about as man does. A bear has his boun-
diaries beyond which his fellow bear does
not trespass with impunity-the wild
rabbit you see ON your lawn in the
moonlight is the same innocent little
creature you have been seeing every
night all the summer time-and even
the Fobin that gathers the early worm
for his breakfast from your garden will
show fight when another comes maraud-
ing ON his preserve. Nor does this last a
year only. for there is good evidence that
the same bird will come back to the
claim it staked on the year previous

PACIFIC RAILROAD BILL.
A Compromise Tint is Merely n Trans
~. ri Mea xmre.

A Compromise That is Merely n Trans
DC sitirn of the Original Measure.
The House committee on Pacific railroads
held a meeting today and agreed upon a
substitute for the Riley Pacific funding
bill The compromise bill is simply a trans
position of the original measure. The first
bill provided for the payment of the first
mortgage bonds and the funding of the
government credit for fifty years. The
compromise bill provides for the payment
of the principal of the debt to the govern
ment within twelve months and refunds
the first mortgage bonds. making them
run fifty years at four per cent interest. 1t
also funds the interest on the debt 10 the
government for fifty years at two per cent.
In other words. for the immediate payment
of the government and the extension Of
the first mortgage bonds. The committee
expect an order from the committee on rules
for the consideration of this new propo-
sitiOn.
The practical effect of this provision for
the settlement of the government indebted
ness within twelve months Is to give the
railroad that much extension of time. If
al the end of twelve months the debt has
not been paid to the government the sit
uation will be practically what 1t is now.
