Profanity In Europe.

The most ordinary conversation in
Spain is rarely carried on without oaths
being interpolated, and invocations Of
saints and expressions which border on
swearing are common even on the lips
of ladies. Spanish workmen do not I'M.
derstand an order unless it is delivered
to them with strong garnishing Of
profanity; masters swear at their serv-
ants, ladies at their children, school
masters at their scholars and officers at
their men. 1t must be remembered that
all over the continent profanity is more
common than in England. In Germany
even it is not uncommon to hear school
masters swear at the boys, state Of
things unheard of and impossible here,
while both in France and Italy oaths
are taken as matter of course and
applied equally to man and beast. At
the same time it should be remembered
that most continental "cuss words
are not taken so seriously as ours

A Humorist ON Marriage.

Marriage, if not carried to excess, is
a wise provision and sacred obligation.
Marry your opposite as far as possible,
especially as regards sex. You will new
er regret it. If possible. marry above
your station. Both Of you should do
this; it is sure to advance your race
Do not marry foreigner unless highly
recommended by those in whom you
have perfect confidence or unless you
want to very much indeed. Do not en-
courage long engagements. 1t is better
to get weary Of each other at your lei
sure after marriage than to do 1t be-
forehand. Courtship, however, is a
most delightful industry and should not
be rashly broken in upon by marriage.
Some people seem to be admirably fit
ted for suitors, but fail in other occu-
pations. This is very fortunate indeed.

The Mischiexous Emu.


Down through the meadows we come
to the playground Of the poet Shelley,
where the old mill still stands, it's
grinding stones propped against its
sides, quietly registering the fight of
time. Swans glide to and fro upon the
pond or rest upon its edge. Black and
white rabbits scurry across the wood
ed paths. Fantailed pigeons disport
upon the lawn. In the tall grass tiny
fawns feign sleep, while furtively
watching with half closed eye, and
everywhere the mischievous emu
stalks about in conscious pride of his
Importance in this strange land.
Being special aversion Of the game
keepers, this bird takes apparent de-
light in annoying him in every way.
Frying about until he finds a choice
nest of pheasants eggs, he dispatches
the dainty morseis instantly, thereby
destroying the hopes of both keeper
and hen. Every effort to break him of
this pernicious habit has been unsuc-
cessful. Once the keeper resolved upon
plan which he thought would with
out doubt prove effectual. Having
hard boiled number of eggs, he car.
ried them in steaming hot water to the
field and placed them before the ever
ready emu. Much to his surprise, the
dished seemed to appeal strongly tc
the voracious appetite of the bird, fol
in twinkling they were gone, seem
ing look of wonder accompanying his
grateful appreciation of this unusual
attention. Magazine.
