The experience known as popping
the question Is the bugbear OF every
man, however confident OF his charms
or fluent OF speech. Many original
ways of asking young women to marry
them have been resorted TO by bashful
men, hut perhaps the most brilliant
suggestion came to n learned German
professor, who. having, remained q
bachelor till middle life, at last tumbled
head over ears in love with a little
faxen haired maiden many years his
junior.
one day, after vaInly endeavorlng TO
screw his courage to the sticking point,
the learned man came upon his Crotch
en- as she sat alone, dafnIng a stocking.
with a huge pile of the family hosiery
on the table, The professor aimlessly
talked on general topics, wondering
how he could lead up to the subject
nearest his heart, when all at once
happy thought came to him.
Leaning forward, he put his big hand
on the little fist doubled up inside the
stocking and said hesltatingly:
"You darn very beautifully, fraulein.
Would you like to darn my stockings
only?"
Fortunately the frauleIn was not SO
simple MS she appeared. She grasped
the significance of the question imme-
dlately and lost no time In answering,
"Yes."-Youth's Companion.

why Girls Cannot Throw.

A great dcal of fun is poked at girls
because they cannot throw stone or
SNOWFALL and hit the person or thing
they are aiming at The general idea
as to why girls cannot throw as well as
boys is that they have not acquired the
knack by practice rs their brothers
have. Another explanation is given by
a medical man which tends to show
that girls could never learn the knack,
however much they tried.
When boy throws a stone, he
crooks his elbow and reaches back
with his forearm. and In the act of
throwing he works every joint from
shoulder to wrist. The girl throws
with her whole arm rigid, whereas the
boys arm is relaxed.
The reason OF this difference is one
of anatomy. The feminine collar bone
is longer and is set lower than in the
case Of male. The long, crooked.
awkward bone interferes with the free
use OF the arm. This is the reason that
girls cannot throw well.

In the sIIIstory of Beverly" Mass,
the following anecdote is related Of 3
good justice of the peace in the old colo
NAL times. on cold night in winter
a traveller called at his house for lodg'
ing. The ready hospitality OF the jus
tice was about being displayed, when
the traveller unluckily uttered a word
which his host considered prOfane.
Upon this he informed his guest that
he was n magistrate, pointed out the
nature OF the offense and explained the
necessity of its being cxpiated by sit
tlng an hour In the stocks.
Remonstrance was unavniling, FOR
custom at that time allowed the magis-
trate to convict and punish at once. and
In this case he acted as accuser, wit
ness. jury, Judge and sheriff, all In one.
Cold as 1t was our worthy Justice,
aided by his son. conducted the travel
er to the place Of punishment an open
place near the meeting house where
the stocks were placed. Here the trnv-
elcr was confined In the usual manner,
the benevolent executor OF the law re-
manning with him to beguile the time
of It's tedlum by edlfylng converse
ton.
At the expiration Of the hour he was
reconducted to the house and hospita-
bly, entertained till the next morning,
when the traveller departed with, let us
hope, determination to consider his
words more carefully before giving
them utterance In the hearing Of con-
scientious magistrate.

r,,h and the Alphabet.

Perhaps the funniest thing to be told
respecting the antiquity of fishing re
Iates 10 the holy wars which were
waged in ancient Egypt over the hnny
denizens Of the water, the conflicts
arising from the circumstance that, as
often happened. one tribe would insist
with the utmost irreverence upon eat
I..g up the fishes which the inhabitants
Of nm adjoining territory held in divine
alteration.
The child OF today, in learning his ai'
phabet calls the letters by their names
simply because the ancient PhGuicians
were pleased to make similar figures
the symbols OF certain sounds, ana It Is
thought very likely that the PhGni'
clans have been driven TO invent that
alphabet by the necessity of CORE
spending with peoples of various
tongues incidentally TO the great COM

CITY of the Shows.

For three months In the winter Arch
angel, the great western port of Rus
sla, scarcely sees the sun and for
three months in the summer seldom
loses sight of 1t. Yet there is no city
in the whole of Europe which lies for
so many months-for the greater part
OF the year, In fact-under mantle of
snow, and because OF this the Russian
fondly calls 1t 1.-THE White City"
White, too, is 1t in other ways. All
the chief buildings glare with white
paint and blink with white blinds.
The churches-and in Russian city
they are not few-are also Of pure
white; only the cupolas are green and
the crosses on their submits gold.
And white are the private houses of
the better sort, except where Norwe-
CLANS and Germans live, for bun and
blue and red then streak and diaper
the pine walls and edge Of the gable
ends; but street posts, gates, pillars.
walls. fences-these are all white.
And In summer for every official you
see in a blue or gray tunic you see
ten in white caps and white uniforms.
Bright color alone Is left to the wom-
en- and chIldren-plnk blouses. green
skirts, scarlet petticoats, orange aprons
and blue kerchIefs are common enough,
while group of children will always
look like n cluster Of old English flow-
ers. But otherwise, In summer as In
winter, this old city of Archangel Is
n white city indeed.-Pearson's Maya

den behind those brick battIements
which make every EnglIshman's hcmc
verbally castle What a revelation
OF beauty they areI Now 1t is seen that
the reverse side of the vine clad wall
forms the most effective OF back
grounds for the gay flowers in the har.
dy border. Hollyhocks stand up like
sentinels against the ivy, huge oriental
peoples splash their wonderful color
among the shrubbery, roses fairly In.
toxIcate the senses where they climb
over the half timbered Ellzabethan
houses and tangle themselves with the
clematls in wild profusion over the
arches that span the trim garden paths,
During n days ride on top of coach
one will see hundreds Of enchanting
gardens. During quite long walk
along the same road one would not
even suspect their presence because of
the universal wall were not an occa-

a surreptitious peep. = Everybody'E
