Fully Explained to John,

"John." she said as she toyed with
one of his coat buttons, this Is leap
year, Is 1t notf"
Yes, Mamie" he answered as he
looked fondly down on her golden head
that was pillowed on his manly bosom.
This is the year when the proposing
is done by the young ladies?'
YES"
II hope you don't expect me to pro-
pose to your
why. Mamie, dear, l never gave the
matter a thought. I-er-to tell the
truth. I've only known you for-that is
to say
I'm glad you didn't expect me to
propose. I'm not that kind, hope. No,
John. dearest, | couldn't be 80 immod-
est. I'm going TO let you do the pro-
posing yourself In the old fashioned
way. The old fashioned way Is good
enough for me-" And the gentle maid

the young man rejoiced that he had
found such a treasure Of modesty.--

Why the Mole In blind.

The creatures which dwelt in the
darkness Of the depths naturally lost
their powers of vision after awhile. 1t
Is the same way with the mole, which
Is doubtless descended from progeni-
tors which could see. Blindness in the
mole is the result of degeneration Of
the optic nerve, the consequence Of
which is that images formed In the eye
itself are not transmitted to the ami
mails consciousness. Occasionally a
mole can see little out of one eye
which has retained its communication
with the brain.
1t Is not that the mole is born blind,
but that 1t inherits tendency to afro
ply OF the visual organs Just as peo-
pie derive from their parents an incli-
nation to consumption or other dis
eases. Some day in the future there
may be no such thing as a mole that is
not entirely and hopeiessly blind.

Dosens In England.

Don't imagine that q dozen always
means IL things. In the StafYordshire
potteries and In the earthenware trade
dozen to this day represents that
number of any special article which
can be offered at any fixed price.
For instance. the pitchers, which arc
called jugs In the trade, are sold as 2,
8, 4, 6, 8, IL, Is, d, 30 and 80 pieces 10
each dozen, the price for a dozen being
constant.
The ordinary pitcher holding a quart
represents IL to the dozen, while pint
pitcher is "a to the dozen and is so call
ed when dealing with that size
Few Of the articles Of the trade are
sold in dozens OF II, plates being al
most the only ones and some of them
being sold CO. 20 and even 80 to the
dozen.
Besides these curiosities IN figures
the potters have peculiar names, such
as cockspurt, twifers, etc, that make
up trade language Of itself.
The bakers dozen Of 13 is a reoog-
nized figure in their trade.
A publishers dozen is usually 13
copies.
Among fishermen in Cornwall O. long
dozen consists of 26.-London Answers.

No Settlement Yet.

The officers Of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation of Steel and Tin Workers and
Messrs. Morgan, Schwab and Gary of
the American Steel Trust held confer
ence, last week, and formulated plan
for the settlement Of the extensive strike
now, prevailing in the mills of the trust.
This plan was submitted to the execu-
tive board of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton and they have had 1t under con-
sideration behind closed doors at Pitts
burg, Penn, for several days. The
terms Of the proposed agreement were
not made public and are not positively
known to any but the leaders of each
side Of the controversy, but newspapers
have guessed at them as they invariably
do at such things, and unusually get the
main points at issue pretty nearly cor
rect.
Each side has made concessions, and
negotiations appear still to be In pro-
gress. The condition of affairs was
summed up at Pittsburg, Wednesday
night as follows:
The steel workers strike against the
United States Steel Corporation is still
unsettled. The status of the contest Is
unchanged, the men fighting for every
advantage, while the companies involved
are strengthening their position as much
as possible. The conference of the mem
bers Of the general executive board of
the Amalgamated Association which
was expected to settle the trouble one
way or the other, Wednesday, adjourned
at 6 o'clock, without accomplishing It's
purpose.

Heads Much Alike.

Most expert craniologists insist that
It is extremely difficult to determine
sex from the skull, but admit there are
a few distinctions which taken togeth-
er indicate sex. Perhaps the most
marked distinction is the prominence
Of the bony projection over the nose.
The skull In man is thicker and stron-
ger. and the mastoid processes beneath
the ear are larger Broca is authority
for the opinion that If the skull rests
on the mastoid processes II is almost
certainly a mans. In woman the top
of the head appears 6atter. while IN
man the curve from before backward
Is more smooth and even. Greek sculp-
tors always recognize this--Health

When we behold wide, turf covered
expanse, we SHOULD remember that its
smoothness, on which so much of its
beauty depends. Is mainly due to all
the inequalities having been slowly
leveled by worms. 1t is a marvellous
reflection that the whole of the superb
cial mold over any such expanse has
passed and will pass again every few
years through the bodies Of worms. The
pillow Is one of the most ancient and
most valuable of mans inventions, but
long before he existed the land was, In
fact. regularly plowed by earthworms.
1t may be doubted whether there are
many other animals which have played
30 important a part in the history OF
the world as have these lowry organ
lied creatures. Some other animals,
however, still more lowly organized
namely, corals-have done far more
conspicuous work In having construct

fined to the tropical zones.

Tourists come here and shout to wait
ers. hotel clerks, shopkeepers, etc. be-
lleying that If you only yell forth your
English 1t instantly becomes compre-
hensible. And q common error In breed
ing and one not confined to tourist for
eigners is to make unpleasant remarks
about men, women and things In tone
of voice which conveys at once to the
natives that something disagreeable is
being said. So we acquire not without
reason the reputation Of being muy gro
seros, or very rude, and too often we
are-Mexican Herald.

A RIuut Que~.

A good story is told of one of the dig
nitaries of the Scottish church. Before
he became known to fame he was min
lister of remote parish In Perthshire
and was not considered a particularly
attractive preacher. At his suggestion
extensive alterations were made In the
transept of his church, and these had
the effect of sweeping away considera-
BILE seating accommodation. One day
after the alterations had been effected
he visited the church to see how 1t
looked.
What do you think of the improve
ments, John?" he asked of the beadle.
"Improvementsp exclaimed John in
disdain. They're no improvements at
a. Whaur are We goin to put the folk?"
"Oh," said the minister, I'VE have
abundance of room, John, considering
the size of the congregation"
That's a. very weel the noo," retort-
ed the beadle, "but what will we do
when we get popular meenister?"

A curious account of how quails are
fatteDed for the market Is given in q
London paper. 1t appears that Quails,
being regular In their habits. always
feed directly they wake up in the
morning. They are therefore put In a
large cellar Lit only by electric light. In
the dark they go to sleep. but directly
the light Is turned on they wake up and
breakfast. This process is repeated time
after time, and the birds. always labor

has arrived. once more breakfast. over
and over again. They have been known
to do so six times In an afternoon

A New Excuse.

One Of the men In a large pottery
took two or three days holiday now
and again. and when he came back. on
he had been away burying his grand
mother.
He did this two or three times, and
then he thought he had better change
his excuse, so, on being asked the next
time, he replied:
well. my brother, the sailor is at
home just now. and he is so used to
the sound of the waves that had to
lash pailfuls Of water on the window
all night before he could sleep, and
then had to sleep during the day"

To Keep Flowers.

II one wants to preserve flowers a
few days longer than they would keep
ordinarily, one should try this method:
Clip the stems Just little and put one
drop of ammonia and the tiniest pinch
of salt in a vase Of water, says the
Montreal Star. Put the flowers IN this
and unless the weather is very cool set
them outside the window overnight.
Put them in fresh water, with the drop
of ammonia and pinch of salt every
morning, and II will be found that they
keep fresh and will not lose their crisp
'1ifey" appearance for many days
Roses have been known to keep In this
preparation for full week without
dropping at ALI OF course. flowers that
have been worn for several hours will
not keep so long. but even they will
brighten up and seem grateful.
