WHEN MEN PROPOSE.
They All Have sheepish Ways and
Look Absurdly Silly.


A girl who can no longer be counted
young, and who has been constantly
courted and frequently loved, is CON
vinced that the ways of proposing are
as numerous as are the differenttypes
of men who propose. She has her
suitors classified, and knows each by
the class to which he belongs.
"Some propose f1ippantly, lightly, as
If they invited you to luncheon instead
of matrimony," she says, in the Chi
cago Tribune. stThey appear to be
preparing to hedge If they get mo-
for an answer, and to say that they
were only foolipg, and really didn't
mean what they said. There are 9TH
ers, straightforward, manly, and hon
orable, who take mo- with such serious
grace that they win your respect and
liking even If they cannot win your
love.
"Many men propose on their knees,
some sneak back in the corner of a
sofa, while others stand up boldly, as
though they were interviewing you on
business proposition. Butiit makes
little difference what latitude man se-
Iects to propose, he always looks
funny. Men have such a dazed and
dazzled expression under such condi-
tions that they look as il they had
been struck right between the eyes. I
believe science asserts THAT Cupid
strikes somewhere on the left side.
K s.Only once during my experience
has a man descended to his knees in
proposing to me. This one had on
white duck trousers, and he knelt
down in the dusty path in which we
were walking. His mother would have
spanked him had she been there.
When he got up there was a great,
black spot on each knee.

to propose, after he has first met the

MUSIC TO HEAL WOUNDS.
The Violin Has Been Employed as
an Aid to Surgery i'm
Paris.


The attention of medical men has
been called to two extraordinary
cases reported from hospital in
Paris. A man had been seriously cut
by accident and the wound refused
to heal. From time to time the pa
tient went into violent paroxysIns
and death appeared certain. A sur
geon who had given much attention
to the subject Of vibrations secured
the services of d violin player md
treated the sufferer to musical
remedy. A 2change appeared at once
and under the influence of the vio-
lin recovery was rapid and complete.
In the other case wound contin-
ued to suppurate in spite of all that
could be done. The violin was again
called into requisition and played
close to the injured part, which was
barred for the purpose. Soon the
wound assumed healthier appear
ance, suppuration ceased and COM
plete cure was effected. In both
these cases it was noted that only
certin kinds of music were of benefit,
showing that vibrations must be
strictly in accordance with the ma
ture of the wound.

THE STRAIN OF SOCIETY.
What the Human System Has to En-
dure In Keeping In the LON
don "Swim.v

The enormous strain upon the syss
tenn during a London season must
have either one of two results. 1t
must either break down and destroy
the nervous system, or it must ed
ucate the brain and body to bear
more than ever their ancestors were
called upon to endure; that is to say,
1t must kill the present generation
or breed new race Of men and
women. Before this last consumma-
ton is reached, and for the sake OF
the Trailer members of society, it is
wise to consider whether nothing
can be done to relieve the intolerable
burden of a season, writes the Lon
don Globe. Reflection and expert
ence induce the belief that dances,
dinners, the theater, the opera, at
homes, and all the rest of it, need
not in themselves cause WEAKNESS
and depression. What does seem to
weigh heavily upon the brain is to
have ones life booked for months
ahead, not an hour of day really
free for perhaps several weeks. This
long-drawn engagement list has 4
poisoning effect upon the mind; it
causes sense of servitude; 1t de-
stroys freedom; it closes round ones
life like the approach of some dead
ly disease.

THE REFORMED PIG.
Governmental Efforts to Improve am
Animal That Has been Abused
for Centuries.

Our enterprising and diligent de-
partment of agriculture has set itself
to an important task. 1t is going to
improve the pig. At least, it will see
whether the pig has any ambition to
improve, comments the Brooklyn
Eagle. Tt will raise litter, Of suck
lings in a yard hoored with clean
sand; it Will battle the animals; it
will feed them delicately, and for a
whole year win keep them in a con-
dition Of responsibility. Then it will
open the way to the usual pig pen
and will stand by to see if the crea-
lures forsake their manners and elect
mud and the trough.
Probably the pigs will elect TO stay
In the clean and wholesome yard.
The obloquy. that these beasts have
fallen under is not of their seeking.
Men have abused them by confining
them in iIl-kept places and feeding
them r on refuse. The pig In It's nat
ural state Is not lincleaf. III is dirty
when it is kept in d pen, because it
cannot be otherwise. If afflicted
with flies or verrnin it has no re-
source but to lie in the mud, and as
to it's food, If it has nothing but the
fermenting refuse. of the. house it
must cut that OF starve. NhHnllsf Fl

filth and slime When free to fbnm
the woods they are no more unc1ean
than cattle. 1t needs little experi-
menting to convince of that fact.

vIRTUoUS ADVICE.
A Minneapolis Policeman Who Knew
How to Dissect People
PrODerIy.

Two young couples left Minneapolis
one morning for the purpose of visit
ing the public schools in ST. Paul. Not
until noon did they decide to remain
in the sanity city for luncheon, and
when they did make up their minds
to dine away from home they were
unable to choose a proper cafe, relates
Richard A. Hoyt, in Lippincott. Final
ly one of the young men accosted a
policeman, supposedly on. duty, and
said:
Officer, can you direct us to the best
restaurant in town? You see, we have
two very fine young ladies, and we
want to go to "a very nice place"
"Well,' responded the officer, "go to
McG--'s, on - avenue. i think you
will find that very tempting"
The young man, having heard of
McG-'s before, thought it not quite
the proper place, SO said: Eyes, off,
Ger, but we have two very nice girls
with US, and we would not like to GO
to any questionable place"
SWELL" says the officer, IF you have
anybody so blamed nice you had bet-
ter go down to the wagon on the next
corner, buy tripe sandwich a la carte,
and go up in some church and eat it,"
Some moments later the young peo-
pie we're seen at McG's, evidently
satisfied with the cheice.

CITY AMATEUR LEAGUE.
Very Warm Session Held at the st Jos
eph Rooms Last Night.

eph Rooms Last Night.
The managers Of the City. Amateur
Base Ball league held meeting at the
st Joseph rooms last night, and it was
one of the warmest sessions that this
league has held this season. 1t is
drawing very close to the finish now
and each manager is looking for all the
best Of it, and the consequences are
that the president is kept in pretty hot
water. The umpires, or some of them.
were hayed numerically. and before
the meeting adjourned there was q re-
assignment. Kelley win remain at
Riverside grounds, Joe Brennan will
go to WatervilIe and Shields or Reilly
viii go to the Driving park.
The field day of the league next Sat
iirday will bring together four of the
bitterest rivals in the league. That
was the occasion of big dispute last
night and the choice Of hours for play
ing was finally decided by the toss of
a coin. The Pastimes and the Jeffer-
sons will play first at 2:30. and the st
Josephs and the Washington Hills will
play the last game. Manager MELON.
aid of the Pastimes wanted to play last
but Manager Reed insisted on playing
first. and the coin decided it. The
Pastimes' manager said he did not
know whether he could get his team
out at the early hour, and Manager
Reed thought he saw chance to get
square with the Pastimes for last Sun
days defeat by catching the Pastimes
with a weak team. There is a bitter
rivalry between those two teams and
that contest Of last Sunday will not be
patch on the one that viii be played
next Saturday.
The Washington Hills were triumph
ant over the st Josephs last Sunday,
but Manager Dillane has some new
men for Saturday and it was openly
limited last night that he would have a
battery that would make Washington
Hill very weary. On the results of
those two games will depend a great
deal the championship Of the league.

GIRL AsToNIsHEs SURGEONS.
Performs a Feat which Mem of
ss Science Regarded as Im-s
possible.

I, 1t is nothing new for mans head
to be turned by a pretty girl, but
the feat accomplished in that line by
a nurse at Philadelphin hospital the
other day is probably without a
parallel.
According to an exchange Of that
city Thomas w. Wright and q COM
panion were skylarking and trying
to initiate Jeffries and Corbett in
front of Wright's home, when sud-
denly Wright received a blow on the
jaw that turned his head half round
and over on one side. An instant
later a big lump appeared on his neck
and he began to- suffer greatly. He
ehdeavoredd to get himself into his
former shape, but was unable to do
SO. Try as he would the best he
could do was to keep looking over his
right shoulder. There was no get
ting him to "front face"
His friend helped him to the hos
pita1, restraining his rather natural
inclination to walk sideways, and
there Drs. Lloyd and Merlin told him
his neck was dislocated. They sought
to reduce the dis1ocation, but were
unsuccessful, and so the nurse said:,
Let me jiggle his head into place"
u Surgeons and patient agreed and
sthe young woman took the sufferers
face between her hands and gently
worked it first one way and then the
other. ina minute or two there was
a sound as if something had snapped
and the young man was looking at
the world once more over his waist
coat, instead Of from the starboard
side. The swelling in his neck disap-
peared Instantly and there was no
pain. He thanked the girl and the
doctors praised her.

treatment at all beforehand. Ii the
moon is full and, the man fs not, the
average man should be expected to
propose within is days after he has
first met the girl. IL he sees her three
times a day, for three hours at a time.
he can usually become ellacquainted
with her nature and all her little char
acteristics in that time, provided the
girl is simple, as is apt to be the case.
Few women are complex. It isn't
important whether the girl under
stands the mans nature or not. But,
anyway, she can learn it in no time
at all, because all men are alike. They
mostly all are brainy, and can smoke
and love with equal ease. There are
men who say, fercely, as If they were
really desperate: will you, or won't
you marry me?' That sort of men are
not much good, because you can't firt
with them and keep them dangling.
They make you say either yes or mo-
right away. You can't fool them.
"There are many ways in which girl
can tell that man is going to propose
before he does. First, there is the tone
in his voice. Then his eyes always fol-
low you about the room in the most
admiring, adoring way. He looks at
you with a vague, far-away gaze, as if
he really saw a vision, or an angel:
but he thinks he does, so let him alone.
At this stage he wouldn't even dare to
call you darling But he has other
ways Of showing how he likes you.
Sometimes he drops little hints about
his ideal of woman. He says he never
met her-until now. Again, he makes
illusions to his income, and says he
supposes it seems so little to you.
Some men propose by showing you
their bank books, and saying: will
that be enough?'
''The only way to propose is the old
way-the way Adam must have pro-
posed to Eve, before there was any
money, or reason, or anything in the
world but-love. Go to her and say:
You've got to marry me because love
| you and you love me, and T can't live
without you And that style of pro-
posal is always in fashion,

RAPID FLIGHT OF DREAMS.
Extraordinary Capacity of the Brain
fer GrasDing Pigments in
SIumber.


An eminent public man Of England
whose mental faculties had been sub
jected to too great strain and who
suffered greatly from mental depres-
sion that amounted almost to the dis
ease of nelancholia, was told by his
physician that he must rest his brain.
He was very busy man and scoffed
at his doctors prescription of nap
in the middle of the day, relates a
London paper.
Finally, after much persuasion, he
agreed to this experiment: He would
sit in his easy chair every afternoon
with his hands on his knees, holding a
dinnerbell in his hands. If he lost con-
seriousness and went to sleep he would
be willing to sleep for the period that
it took for the dinner bell to fallto the
floor and wake him.
The doctor who suggested this ar
rangement declared that the mere
mental relaxation of going to sleep, if
only for a few seconds, would suffice
to save him. He invited his patient to
study the activity of the brain by no.
ticing how many things he could
dream while the dinner bell was fall
ing to the floor.
Every day for many months the man
sat down after luncheon with the dim
ner bell in his hands. Every day he
went to sleep, slept for half second,
while the bell fell to the floor, and his
mental condition Improved steadily,
partly because of the rest which his
mind got through losing consciousness
for a second and partly because of his
interest in the extraordinary dreams
which passed through his brain while
the bell was falling.
