Popping the Question.

A writer in Lady's Realm says there
are certain precautions which all low
ers should take when proposing. Never
propose, says an old student of wo-
man, when returning from the theater.
She will be still under the spell of one
Of the actors, and beside his romantic
figure you dwindle Into insignificance.
1t Is better to propose on the way to
the theater or some entertainment.
Rather than upset an evenings enjoy
ment by rejecting your suit, she will
accept you. Never, continues our
mentor, propose to a young lady after
having a meal with her. Her imagi-
nation is chilled by the process of di-
gestion, while there is nothing that SO
degrades a man in a girls eyes as to
see him eat hearty meal

A Happx Exnedient.

Some few years back a colonel COM
manding some marines was much exer-
cised in his mind as to how to deal
with two Of his men who were contin-
ually fighting. Threats, pack drill and
even cells were tried, but were Of no
avail. No sooner were they free than
they flew at one another and were at 1t
again with worse results than before.
At last he hit on happy expedient.
The next time the men were brought
before him he set them to clean all the
windows in the barracks, one inside,
the other out, and neither to go to the
next window till the other had finish
ed. The next morning they started,
and after glaring at one another for
three or four windows the situation be-
came too ludicrous. They both burst
out laughing and have been good
friends ever since.-London Answers.

He Had Enough.

There is a New York physician who
takes an active interest in politics and
is popular with the boys" In spite
of his jolly disposition he is an ex-
tremely thin man, so thin that many
a joke is aimed at him. Here is the
latest story they are telling about him /:
A grocer's boy entered the doctors
Office the other day with a basket Of
fine fruit which some grateful patient
had sent to him. The doctor told the
boy to place the basket In a cabinet
which stood against the wall. At the
same instant he stepped out of the
room, and, going into an adjoining one,
manipulated contrivance which caus-
ed an articulated skeleton within the
cabinet to waggle its head and limbs
in an appalling manner just as the
messenger boy opened the door.
With a yell of terror the boy fed,
When the doctor had enjoyed a hearty
laugh, he picked up fine apple and
followed the boy into the street to give
it to him. Come here, my boyw he
shouted. Here's a fine apple for you.
''Not on your t1fep' replied the af-
frighted youngster, taking to his heels
again. "You can't fool me with your
clothes on."-New York Tribune.

Want a Plan.

The Deering Harvester Company, of
Chicago, has applied to the Division of
Forestry for working plan for its
81, 0O0-acre tract of hardwood timber
Southeastern Missouri. This marks
what is probably the first attempt of an
American manufacturing esta blishment
to employ modern forest methods in
raising hardwood timber for its own use.
The timber owned by the company
consists chiefly of oak, ash, and hick-
ory, woods especially adapted to the
manufacture of agricultural imple-
ments. The owners intend to remove
all the less valuable species, such as
cottonwood, gum, honey locust, and
cypress, so as to give the others all
possible advantage for growth. A plan
will be made by which the merchant
able timber may be removed without
injury to the producing power of the
forest. The Division will send experts
to the tract to make the observations
necessary for such plan.

Funny Men.

The jests Of Heliogabulus were very
practical He was fond Of inviting
people with some physical deformity
to dinner and making jokes about
them. At times he would invite doz-
en- hunchbacks or a score Of squirting
ladies or an equal number Of baldheads.
Once he put large number Of exces-
sively fat people, all very hungry, into
a small chamber where dinner was
waiting. There was no room to eat 1t,
Another diversion of which he was
fond was that Of placing his guests on
air sofas, so that when they were about
to drink he could let the air out and
have both sofa and guest collapse.
1t is said that Nero, the Roman en-
peror, liked to "shy" nuts at the bald
heads Of the pretors who sat below
during the performance at the theater.
and they were expected to maintain
their baldheaded dignity and refrain
from "shying" them back at him.

THE CRASH OF HEAVY GUNS.

Fearful Strain of the Concussion
Upon the Nerves and Ears.
The stunning report of each gun as
It is fred is something that a stranger
on the deck will long remember. There
is an old saying, deaf as a post"
Now, in the royal navy. This is changed
to deaf as post captain"
No man can go through long series
Of gunnery practices without having
his hearing very seriously affected.
Some men put cotton wool in their
ears, but even this precaution does lit
tie to deaden the terrible shock. And
If the firing of one or two guns has
such a shattering power, what would
be the effect If the whole armament
were in action together?
It Is almost impossible to conceive
the strain upon nerve and senses of the
rending concussion. If visitor
watches the firing of one of the mon
ster 8 inch guns and then places him.
self beside one Of the smaller pieces,
the report made by the one will not
appear much louder than that Of the
other. The extra distance to the muz-
zle Of the big piece discounts the sound.
The only apparent difference between
the two appears to be that the small
pieces have sharper. higher pitched
note, and that the and 8 inch guns
speak with more Of believing roar.
One piece of advice may be given to
any one who finds himself In the
neighborhood of a gun in action The
noise will not have nearly the same
effect If you are watching the gun as
if the crash comes unexpectedly. Un:
consciously nature prepares you to re-
sist shock which Is known to be i'm

NIGHT BLOOMING CEREUS.

There is flower that blooms by night,
When all the land is still,
When only nightingales are heard
And dews their wine distill.
1t loveth not the glare of day,
The noise of busy noon,
Alone revealing its pure heart
Unto the lady moon.
When other blossoms lie at rest.
1t watches like saint,
And all night long it wearies not
Until the shadows faint.
Let others call it what they may,
Hopes star 1t is to me,
That only when the morning comes
From its sweet task is free.
Let other flowers win the praise
OF laughter, mirth and song,
Ny blossom lights the thorny path
OF grief's unhappy throng,
And when / find 1t fast asleep,
While suns are shining bright,
/ know twill waken when dream
And guide me through the night.
