 Knighthoods for Women.


 Knighthoods for Women.
 The order of knighthood has sometimes been formally conferred on ladies. The in the fourteenth century. was first shared by both sexes. being originally founded in a lady's honor. The effigy of an early Lady Harcourt in the church. yard of Stanton Harcourt is represented with the Garter on her arm.
 Many other well known ladies have borne the same honor. But the addition of ladies to the roll of the Garter seems to havo ceased with the wars of the roses. Several attempts were made to restore the fair knighthood. Queen Vic toria instituted two orders which differed from that of the Garter by being limited to ladies alone. These are the Royal Or der of Victoria and Albert, founded in 1862, and the Imperial Order of the Crown of India, established in 1878. Many In- dian princesses belong to the latter.
 Going from England to the continent, We find other knightly orders which have admitted ladies. There is the Austrian Order of the Starry Cross, and there is an order instituted by the Russian Peter the Great in honor of Catherine I. Men were originally admitted to this, but were afterward excluded.
 Russia boasts of the Maria medal, decoration reserved solely for ladies of unbl mished character and distinguished service. Spinsterhood received pre- nium from the Queen of Bavaria when she foundtd d the Order of Theresa for un- married noblewomeE, with pension that should cease at marriage. In Prussia we find the Order of Louisa and that of the Cross of Merit-the first for ladies only. the second shared by both sexes.

Statistics of Courtship.


 To a foreign statistician the world is inde bted for some very. interesting data in regard to the most approved methods of courtship in civilized countries. These data were compiled from several hun dred novels and romances, the object be- ing to show how men propose and how women receive the proposals.
 From one hundred typical eases of ac- cepted declarations of love the statisti- clan obtained the following figures; Eigh- ty-one of the 100 men vowed that they could not live any longer without the adored ones; 72 held the ladies hands in a tight grip; 60 kissed them on the lips; 10 on the right cheek: on the tip of the nose, and l on the shoulder IS were so excited that they could hardly speak: 26 lost their eloquence through certain aualms of conscience: F said in deep chest tones. Thank God" and frankly admitted that they were inexpressibly happy.
 By studying the conduct of one hun dred men whose suits were rejected the statistician obtained the following equally interesting figures: Forty of them rushed in a frenzy out of the room; 21 said that life henceforth had no more value in their eyes and that they would commit suicide; 14 became suddenly tongue tied and irrational; calmly re- signed themselves to the inevitable; 5 avowed their intention of immediately emigrating to America: tore out some of their hair: 2 bit their lips till the blood came; stuck his hands into his trousers pockets and whistled a popular song, and another looked up toward heaven and began to say the Lords Prayer.
 Of the ladies S7 per cent knew before hand that the proposals were about to be made to them. Seventy of them sank, as though embarrassed, into the arms of the loved ones, and only fell gently down on a chair or sofa Fourteen GOV cred their blushing faces with their hands. threw their arms passlonately around the necks of the men; said, Please speak to mamma" and sneered. One lady who was 4S years old, pro- tested vigorously against giving or re. ceiving kiss; another. who was of about the same age. said. "Yes, you may kiss me. but you must do 1t in a gentlemanly manner"
