GIRLS VALUE PURITY IN MEN.
rhe Exceptions, who Wed Men of tho
World, Always Repent OF II.

A Young man writes to Edward W.
Box inquiring why so many girls seem
to prefer the company of young fellows
Of slightly blotted character-men who
have seen the world-and IN many cases
marry them, in face Of the fact that
their past lives nre known to them. In
The Ladies' Home journal Mr. Box, its
editor, makes this reply "Girls-tbat
is, the right kind of girls-do not prefer
the company Of young men of this sort.
Doubtless, you have come across in
stances where this rule has been other
wise; so have l. But il is all In the
seeming, and not in the reality. Depend
upon one thing-girlNhave as high an
estimate Of purity in man MS men have
of purity in woman.
"There are, Of course, cases 20 the
contrary, but these are few. Where girls
marry men who are known TO have led
what is called worldly life, IL is
more generally due TO misunderstand-
ing of facts or TO ignorance than people
imagine. There is type Of girl who
finds peculiar satisfaction in the con-
quest Of a man who has seen the world
and then comes to her as the one woman
Of all her sex who can make him happy.
This sometimes pleases her vanity and
love Of conquest, but she is not many
years older before she discovers that she
has satisfied those feelings mt very
high cost.
"There is another type Of girl who
rather fancies man who is what is
called fast But that sort of girl is
painfully ignorant of what is meant by
that word as applied to man. If she
were not, she would be very apt to
change the adjective to vulgar. And
as she natures she finds this ont. 1t is
only young men of upright lives who
can hope TO win the favor and love of
girls Of high motives. the girls who
make the best wives. If, at times, girls
seem to favor young men of another
kind, the glamour is simply trnnsitory.
II is rare, very rare, that girls better
instincts do not lead her to the higher
grade Of yonng men. An upright life
never fails Of reward, and of the highest
reward, from the hand of woman.

Punished. For Their wickedness.

The st. Andrews fishermen are sup
posed, no doubt enormously, to be less
venturous than others. A year or two
ago they retrieved their fame by very
gallant conduct in an unseaworthy life
boat. However, their marine neighbors
tell this tale
Many years ago there was violent
storm ON 22d Of November. A wreck
came in; the fishers boarded it, found
some sailors still alive and "made six
ker" by drowning them. Then they
seized the cargo and fell in luck. The
anniversary, Nov. 90. was a bright,
still, haloyon day, and the blue bay was
covered with brown sails. Not one came
home to the rocky chink which does
duty as hsrbor. A fierce storm arose,
and the fishing fleet perished. Conse-
quently new and more or less high
land colony, mainly of Chisholmes, came
In, and never were such good men as
the lost sailors Of Fife. For long the un-
holy day Of November was q holiday,
nobody daring to so forth to sea.
Such is the legend, which may have
no historical basis. In any case Fife
fishers and the east coast men generally
are considered to be better In boat
than the west highlanders. and Fife en-
terprise and capital might have left us
q more prosperous isle Of Lewes. Lon

The Danger of Silence.

once had "a case (said member Of
the barr against man i'll the country
which was as clear as daylight in nv
favor, but, by the cunning Of his law
yer, he had continued to avoid coming
to trial for about two years.
At last the case was called. late in
the term and late in hot day, the
court and jury tired and impatient. 1
stated the facts and produced the evi.
dence, which was all on my side.
The judge asked the counsel whether
they wished to argue the case, stating
that he hardly thought it necessary to
submit it in SO plain matter. The law
yers agreed to submit it without argu-
ment. The jury went out and immedi-
ately returned with verdict for the de-
fendant.
As soon as the court adjourned
sought the foreman Of the jury, and ask
ed him how in the name of common
sense they came to render such ver-
dict.
"why, you see" said he, I'VE didn't
think much of the lawyer against you,
and it wasn't strange he didn't have
nothing to say; but, squire, the fact is
we thought you was about one Of the
smartest lawyers in the country, and il
you couldn't find nothing to say OH your
side it must be a pretty hard case, so
we had to go against you. Pearson 8

She Was Ncedicssiy Excited.

Years ago, journeying with my hus-
band in Italy, we were on one occasion
sole occupants Of the railway compart-
ment. Stopping at Padua, suspicious
looking person entered the carriage,
placing himself on the opposite seat
with my husband, while sat opposite
them and diagonally from the newcomer.
My opinion Of Italians, acquired from
the reading of romance, was that they
were mostly brigands or robbers. Here

Again the man sought his pocket.
This time for pistol No, it was mere

further argued, might not stiletto do
double duty, much as forks can be used

pamphlet down. My husband, glancing

HOW INDIANS MEASURE TIME.
They Fix Their Dates by Sleeps and Moon.
and Winters.


Our Indians measure time solely by
days, by sleeps, by moons and by win
ters. The Indian has no name for any
subdivision Of time less than q day
When he desires to indicate shorter
period, he points to the heavens, and
measuring of space says, "It was as
long as 1t would take the sun to go from
there to there" A day is from daylight
to darkness, "sleep." or night, from
dark to daylight. He has no name for
any day, nor has he any subdivision of
time corresponding to our week. A
moon commences with the first streak
Of the crescent in the west and lasts un-
til the next one appears, but the days of
the moon are neither numbered nor
named. From winter to winter" is
the nearest approach he has to our term.
The year commences with the first fall
Of snow. An Indian will tell you he is
SO many winters old, but having no
months or days he never has a birthday.
The Indians who formerly inhabited
the southern part of Texas, where there
is no snowfall, are said to have fixed the
commencement OF the year ut the first
"norther," furious and chilling wind
that sweeps from the north and is of fire.
quent occurrence during the winter
months.
No year has any name or number fix.
ing sequence or point of reference, but
each band will designate year by its
most prominent occurrence, as a fight
with hostiles, death of a chief, preva.
lence Of disease, abundance or scarcity
Of food, or failing anything marvellous
or striking by the name Of the stream on
which was located the winter camp.
But these are mere remembrances. and

The late Marquis de lAngl Beauma-
noir was in his younger days famous as
duelist. One evening, meeting his
cousin, the Marquis du Hallays, in the
foyer Of the Opera, he walked up to him
and, in the course of conversation, re-
marked:
"Isn't it odd, my dear fellow, that,
quarrelsome az you and are, we should
never have fought with one another9"
"That's true," replied Du Hallays,
"but that can always be remedied.
And on the strength Of that, the two
cousins met in mortal combat on the
following morning, the encounter re-
sulting in the Marquis de lAngle Beau
manoir having his right hand pierced by
his adversary's rapier, which, while II
rendered continuance of the fight i'm
possible, left the other hand free to
grasp that of his cousin in undiminished
friendship moment afterward. On an
other occasion, when he was about to
fight duel in which he was entirely In
the right and his adversary in the wrong,
he suddenly discovered that his opponent
was perfect novice in workmanship,
and that he would, therefore, have him
completely at his mercy. So he strobe
up to him and, in the presence Of 90 OF
80 persons, presented the most courteous
and full apology. Almost dumfounded,
the latter inquired why the marquis
assumed such an extraordinary course.
Because, he returned, "it would real
ly be too unfortunate if l were to fight
with mazette (greenhorn). And with
that he made low bow and then turned
his back upon him.-San Francisco Ar.

Where MosIoris Aro rfost Numerous.
Far in advance of any other nation in
the number of the Muslems under its
rule is Great Britain. In India alone
there are about 10000, 600 Mohamme-
dams, and they outnumber all the sub
jects Of the sultan more than two to
one. Besides, England rules Mohamne-
dams in other parts of her vast empire,
though not many in any one place. The
queen is the sovereign Of many millions
more Moslems than Christians.
China il believed TO come next rs n
country inhabited by many followers of
the prophet. The number Of Mohamme-
dams in the Chinese empire is estimated
all the way from 30, 600, 900 TO 90, 000,-
900, and the smallest of the guosses is
more than Turkey can match. Holland
also has nearly or quite 30, 600, 600 Mos
lem subjects in her populous and rich
East Indian possessions. Java has fully
$4,000, 600 people, and nearly all of
them are Mohammedaussq

contain about $4,000, 600 Nelson's,
counting the portion Of Arabia in which
the authority Of the sultan is not worry
we'll established and is in danger of be-
ing destroyed at any time. Therefore it
is apparent that unless great error has
been made in estimating the number Of
Mohammedans in the Chinese empire
the sultan is only fourth among rulers
of great bodies Of men and women who
believe in Mohammed.
But among other countries which are
dominated by the Moslem element Of
their population and are under the sway
of MohGmmedan ruler the Turkish EN-
pire is easily first in numbers and in
