FLIRTING FOR A LIVING.
Advantages of a HeartIess Pastime
as Seen i'm England.
Pearson's Weekly.

L tdISOu ; WEEKLY.
Flirting is by no means always the aim
less pastime which il appears to be. Cyni-
cal persons may look upon il as a kind of
madness, but, if it deserves that descrip-
ton, IL is certainly a madness i'm which
there is often a good deal of method.
Flirting is for some people an education;
a school of experience, teaching the knowl-
edge necessary to the proper selection of
a suitable partner. Motives more doubt
full sometimes inspire the fiirt.
For instance a young author who is be-
ginning to make for himself a name finds
a good deal of inspiration for his stories
in this way. Most of his characters are
drawn from life. and TO obtain his surpris-
ingly deep and varied knowledge of differ
ent types of womankind the writer i'm uues-
ton has had recourse to flirting on quite a
wholesale plan.
Possessed of a good memory. he has been
able to reproduce some of the scenes i'm
which he himself has been one of the chief
actors, with a naturalness and fidelity
which has lent a very convincing air of
realism to his pages.
Flirting helps to swell the income of a
fashionable young jeweler, whose clientele
is largely composed of members of the
gentler sex. On being advised by a friend
recently TO marry and settle. he declared
that nothing would please him better. but
he was prevented from doing SO by the
fact that his business prosperity depended
almost solely upon his remaining single and
~disengaged.
His predecessor had once been in the same
position as himself. and was doing a lucra-
tive trade, but, on his marriage. he lost
half his customers, and wars obliged eventu-
ally to sell out. Warned by his example,
continued the young man or precious
stones. 81 shall remain single and continue
TO firt till further orders. or at least until
/ have managed to attain a condition OF
comparative independence"
The value of flirting is well appreciated
by many ~publicans and hotel proprietors,
who are well aware of the magnetic at
traction exercised by a sprightly barmaid
In many instances it may be said that the
young lady behind the bar creates and
keeps the trade of the place. The custom
of many a house, which has been allowed
TO decline through bad management and the
employment of Indifferent attendants. has
been revived and placed in a hourishins
condition by the Importation of one or two
smart and stylish barmaids who were not
averse TO a little mild Irritation with the
patrons of the bar.
A London dancing master attributes the
success OF his Cinderellas and balls to the
fact that he is a single man and has many
lady friends in the surrounding parishes.

HARNESS HORSES SPEED.


John Gilmer Speed, in September Century.
In the long and interesting effort to pro-
duce the very best trotters Americans have
become the most skillful developers of the
speed of harness horses the world has
known, and as drivers they are unequaled.
This skill has been assisted by the ingenious
inventors who have contrived wagons So
light and frictionless that the weight a
trotter now carries is not more than sufi-
Gent to keep him steady, and Is virtually
no handicap at all. Take two horses of
equal speed and harness and shoe and har-
ness one as the horses of 1850 were har-
messed and shod and the other as those of
this year are turned out. and the horses in
the older rigging would be distanced. while
the winner would scarcely have TO extend
himself.

LEvEE IN DANGER.
Unfinished End Near the kentucky
Line Being Washed Away.

TIPToNvILLE, Feb. IA. News re-
celved from points on the river in
Lake county is to the effect that
the levee is in great danger and
that section is liable to be inun-
dated. The levee is only finished
as far as the Kentucky line, and
ends right where the water be-
comes the deepest. There is abso-
lutely no protection against the
water at this end, and as it rushes
in a great volume by it, the leyee
is gradually being washed away.
The stage of water is not high
enough to do much damage now,
but the river is rising rapidly, and
in few days the damage may
reach thousands. Men will be
to protect the levee as socn
as they can be secured.
