DOES HE LOVE your

How to Find the State of Il Young
Mans Affections.
"It is the easiest thing in the world"
said q young lady, according to the Chi
cago Journal, ITO tell if young man
is in love with you. Yet scores of
girls, just because they do not think
enough of themselves, overlook the
manifestations of sincere regard which
must always precede definite con-
fession of love.
Nov, a young man in love, or part
" in love, always listens to every word
she utters. This is so invariably the
rule that a girl, when in company with
the young man and Others may address
some remark of little interest to no
one in particular, and address it in such
n manner that it is impossible for it to
be heard. If the young man is more
than ordinarily fond of the girl he will
evince special interest in that remark,
and will not rest satisfied till he has dis
covered what twas.
Then, again, a young man in love can,
when in company with several, more
readily converse with them than with
the object of his affection. For this
reason he often appears to be far more
interested in some girl he cares little
for than the girl he loves. Some young
men also develop habit of contradict
ing statements made by the girl they
are fond of This seems an absurd
thing to do, but it is a fact that many
love affairs take rise out of incessant
playful quarrelings."

INCIDENT OF TROLLEY TRAVEL.

Front Seat Passenger Secs the Con-
ducaOr Operate a Safety switch.
a man who was enjoying the air and
the scenery from the front seat of
trolley car in the state of New Jersey,
says the New York Sun, saw against
one of the rails of the track ahead,
when the car had come to dead stop
at a railroad crossing, q tongue that
looked something like switch point.
He did not at first realize what this
tongue was for, but he saw that the
point of it was toward the car, and that
it was also clear of the rail, so that if
it had been attempted, to run the car
ahead without first closing the point
up against the rail the car would have
been run off the track.
The conductor got down and went
ahead to the railroad track and looked
to the right and left to see that every
thing was clear and that it was safe to
cross. The man sitting on the front
seat of the trolley car expected the mo-
torman would take this opportunity
to get down and close that switch, or
that he would bend over and close it
with a car hook, or somehow from the
car, but he didn't do anything of the
sort; be just stood still. But the con-
ductor bent over and put his handinto
ring, set between the tracks. Lifting
this ring he drew up a rodlthat was con
nected with the tongue in the trolley
track and by this means closed it so
that the trolley car could pass over.
And thus it was discovered by the trav-
eler on the front seat that the tongue
was n safety contrivance, which could
be operated only by man actually
standing on the track to be crossed.
