New animals were always q source Of

keeps, or has kept, tame animals knows
the uncertainty and frequent disappoint-
ment which attend the first arrival and

from want of water, with broken feathers
or soiled fur, they show the i'll effects OF

Coursship Among the Beers.

Courting among the race is novel pro-
ceeding. A young man, having of course
asked permission Of his father to court the
hand and hesYt Of some neighboring dam
sel-by neighboring mean anywhere
within 80 miles-proceeds to purchase the
most loudly colored and decorated saddle
cloth for his horse that he can possibly
find. He will spend large sums on this
article of equine adornment, and one know
ing the country can never mistake young
Boer going out courting. Mounted on his
most spirited steed, he approaches the
house of the father Of his lady love. Un-
like the youth Of more civilized life, he
avoids the lady and seeks her father, from
whom he reverentially asks permission to
court his daughter. The old man returns
no answer, but consults his vrou, and the
youth joins the young folks.
No more notice Is taken Of him during
the day, but If his request be agreeable to
the parents, when the hour for retiring
comes the mother solemnly approaches the
young man and maiden, with long tai
low candle in her hand. This she places
on the table, lights, and, bidding the cou-
pie an affectionate good night, retires.
This Is the silent signal to the lover that
his suit is successful. The young couple
are permitted to sit up together in the
kitchen so long as the candle lasts, when
the lady retires to the one dormitory Of
herself and sisters, and the youth shares
the bed Of the brothers or male portion Of
the family. --FofZrn.

Illsan.

Ibsen's mastership as an artist becomes
still greater when it is noticed that many
of his subjects are not by themselves dra-
matte, but rather epic novels. In do.
cisive moment the characters simply speak
of themselves to each other, and the
threads of their lives are laid bare by what
they say. Thus nearly the whole dramatic
effect is reduced to our interest in getting
to know him who speaks and him who
listens but that is only possible as the
story goes on, now and then interrupted
by an event which carries it farther in an
other manner. Really we are present at a
kind of cross examination, but the issue is
not how he got her or why he did not get
her. The issue is about life and death,
and that gives every word suoh an impor-
tance that we are afraid of missing the
finest shading in the expression. In such
manner of composition there Is, however,
something queer, and Ibsen will hardly
have many tmitators. - Bjornstjerne

have seen many barber's trade secrets
exposed, but 1 have never seen reason
given in print for men parting their hair
on the left side in more than nine cases
out of ten.
1 talked the matter over with a ply
sician once, and he said 1t might be only
coincidence, but that at least nine men
out of ten sleep on the right side because
by SO doing digestion is aided and the ac-
ton of the heart Is left undisturbed.
That, I think, accounts for the hair
parting, because the warmth of the side
of the head pressed into the pillow greatly
aids the growth of the hair, and the man
naturally parts his hair SO as to brush 1t
In the direction of the greatest growth.
This, no doubt, also accounts for what
almost every one who has tried to keep
his mustache and beard evenly trimmed
must have noticed that he has to trim
the right side more frequently than the
left,-Pearson's Weekly.

Rubies are not often counterfeited. A
ruby is the most valuable of precious
stones, having increased in value very
greatly during the last 20 years. So close
ly are these stones scrutinized thata coun-
terfeit has small chance of escaping detee-
tion. A perfect pigeon blood ruby may be
worth SO, 600 carat, or ten times the value
of good diamond. The finest come from
Burma. The usual way of counterfeit
ing pigeon blood ruby is to take Siam
ruby and cut it like o rose diamond. A
pale oriental ruby is then cut in the same
shape and the fiat surfaces glued together.
Last year new kind of imitation pigeon
blood ruby came on the market. 1t was
made of Siam ruby and a very pale In.
dian garnet. The stones were powdered
and then nodded by enormous pressure
into single stone. The fraud is fairly
easy Of detection.
