Invited 20 car the Next Day.

One night recently the door bell oil
the Fair mansion in San Francisco
was rung and a we'll dressed young
gentleman asked TO see Miss Virginia
Fair. He was admitted, and when
Miss Fair entered the room he said !;
al expect to be Chancellor OF the
German Empire in few years and
would like to marry you. / realize
that | am total stranger to you, but
| have known about you for some
time, and think We would be happy
together" Miss Fair did not lose her
presence OF mind, and said she would
have to consult her sister. Mrs.
Oelrichs was called, and she told the
man the matter demanded considera-
ton, and if he would call next day the
answer would be ready. The young
man was ushered out OF the house.
He is the son OF wealthy Jewish
parents, and is noted for his eccentric
tiles.

The little lake in the park is sweet,
The trees in the park are green;
As the mist Of the morning melts away
A barefooted maid is seen.
All touching her smile as she slowly
stoops
Where her low cut shoes are tied;
She draws her hose from her pink-whitf
And slips them safe inside.
A policeman sees her, so does the man
Who cares for the water tank,
And both Of them mutter beneath their
breath.
"Ssy, there is another crank r.
Two Johnnies out for an early stroll
Turn color and go their ways;
While the bsrefooted beauty walks the

Over the grass which is wet with the dew,
Meath the branches Of green she goes ;
With q boundless faith in q senseless fad
And chill in her pink.white toes.

Twins.

Talking to a physician about twins
and commenting upon the marvellous
likeness they sometimes bear to one
another, he gave an interesting fact
regarding them.
"You can always distinguish one
from the other," said he, "no matter
how great the resemblance. for the
elder invariably has the broader face
Notice twins hereafter, and you can
say with certainty that the narrower
faced one is the younger of the two. |

fewer male than female twins are

girl and boy, than boys. Twin broth
ers are few and far between. Polly

Pope Leo XIII has very nervous
temperament. and this, added to his
incessant work and exertions. renders
him liable to frequent insomnia. He
has not slept lately much more than
two hours a night. When sleep does
not come to him he composes Latin
verses, or calls one Of his secretaries
and dictates to him, in his bedroom,
sketches for official documents, and
thus keeps constantly at work. The
principal physical trouble with the
Pope is that he catches colds easily,
which render him voiceless for o few
days, but which do not affect his gen.
eral health.
