THE END SEAT IN THE PEW.

It Is the Place Occupied by the Protector
of the Family.
''It is common enough said Mr..
Gratebar, according to the New York
Sun, ''to see q man sitting in the
aisle end of pew in church get up on
the arrival of some other member OF
the family, step out into the aisle to let
the late conner in and then resume his
seat at the end of the pew. 1t seems to
me that have read that this custom
originated in New England in the early
days, when the men all sat by the aisle
so that they could seize their guns and
get out promptly in case of attack by
Indians. We don't have much to fear
from Indians nowadays, but the seat
by the aisle is still occupied by the head
of the family. He stand in the aisle
while the others pass in, and then
calmly takes his place in the end seat,
at the head of the line, as sort of gen.
eral protector.
Sometimes in these days 1--WE are so
very free from Indians now the head
of the family thinks it is safe for him to
stay at home when he has headache,
and then the young son takes his place.
I imagine that he talks it over with his
mother on the way to church, so that it
is all understood. When they get to
the pew he stands in the aisle while his
sisters and his mother pass in. l fancy
that his sisters are rather glad when
they are all seated and no longer con-
spicuous, but upon his mothers face as
she brushes past him into the pew there
is a smile of affectionate pride; and
then he takes his seat in his fathers
place and sits there with fine boyish
dignity"

SUITORS IN CARACAS.
How a Young Woman Was shocked by
Her American Sweetheart.

Her American Sweetheart.
A friend of mine from New York,
who was visiting in the city last Win
ter. became engaged to a young woman
belonging to one of the old families,
saws a writer in the Cosmopolitan. Ex-
cepting a few moments chat with his
sweetheart at the low bay window on
the street the young man in question
had never spoken one word alone to his
fiancee. To an American, especially 4
New Yorker, this peculiar state of af-
fairs was ineXplicable and the warmer
his affection grew the more uncomfortable
became this restraint. Finally, one
evening when the object of his devo-
ton was left alone in the window, mann
ma excusing herself for a moment to
obtain a drink of water, nothing seemed
more natural to him than that his hand
should seek hers. Before the poor fell
low had been able to give it that gentle
pressure which to lovers means more
than thousand words his sweetheart,
shocked beyond expression, rushed
away from the window crossing her
self, as is the custom of the women
at the first indication of the approach
Of the dread earthquake or amy other
danger or evil.
The next evening when the amazed
American attempted to explain that an
engaged couple in his country were
permitted not only to clasp hands but
even to kiss each other, the young
woman vowed that she would never
leave the peaks of the Andes for such
q wicked country.
