Among the minor mysteries of life,
says the London Globe, is the bewdld-
cring fact that, as rule, the tall wom-
an is of "a melancholy disposition
while her smaller sister is of a bright,
brisk and cheerful temperament. Sci
ence, so far as we know, has never ad-
dressed itself to the solution of this
puzzle, and the amateur philosopher
is therefore left to -cudge his brain
and marvel. Why length of limb should
make for solemnity and melancholy,
says a writer on this subject, Is hard
to determine; and there the matter
rests. But 1t is not only on women
that length of limp bestows the tenn
permanent of Melpomene. Sir Don
Quixote was long and lean, while his
cheerful squire, munching the crust
of content on Dapple, was short and
fat In India there is no brighter and
cheerfuler soldier than the little
Goorkha; and of late II has been rec
ognized that a stumpy Tommy Atkins
Is much more vigorous and alert a

IL is First Accompanied by Symp-
toms of Addition.
1t is deeply and touchingly significant
of the uplifting influence of woman
over man, says a writer in Ainslee's,
that the first heart-throb of a boy is
always accompanied by ablutionary
symptoms. The earliest indication that
a masculine creature gives of suscep-
tibility to the fair sex is when he first
voluntarily washes behind his ears. Up
to that time his morning bath, except
upon compulsion, has only described a
small circle taking in his eyes, a seq
ment of his cheeks and his chin. A
thorough scrubbing he has regarded
as one of the tortures of the Inquisi-
ton; combing his hair he has looked
upon as foolish waste of time that
might have been spent on tops and
marbles; while brushing his clothes
and shoes has seemed a contemplate
trucking to the effete customs of so
ciety, that was unworthy an intelli-
gent human being.
Suddenly, all this is changed. Some
morning the boy appears abnormally
clean. He develops a mania for scent
ed soap. His ears are beyond re-
proaeh, and if he has the making Of
a lover in him, he begins to manicure
his nails. He becomes critical about
collars and neckties His family say
How Tommy is improving!" and his
mother congratulates herself that her
lectures are bearing fruit at last.
In reality, 1T is the first premonition
of love-vague, inartteulate, intangible
but unmistakable. No man ever real
ICES his defects until he sees them re-
fiected in feminine eyes. Men do not
dress up for each other But for wom-
ans opinion, they would. still be going
about in comfort and the aboriginal
blanket. The silk hat and dress coat
are daily offering on her shrine, and
Tommy's newly awakened desire to fix
up is simply his first consciousness of
woman. He does not understand it's
portentousness, and he may still out
wardly scorn little girls. but for him
the die has been cast. The disturbing
and compelling influence of woman has
entered into his life.

word.
A celebrated French artist who fell

only two years ago a wealthy maid
en- lady in Midland county provided
a delightful sensation by marrying the

An astonishing feature of this mar
rage was that as a girl the aged bride

memory OF this ancient romance which
inspired sentimental regard for the
youthful clergyman, who under other
conditions might have been her own
grandson.
Not long ago a maiden lady of over
seventy created considera BILE sensation
In the West country by marrying her
coachman. She promptly dissipated
any idea that it might be a match of
sentiment by settling an annuity on
her husband on condition that he never

through her marriage would lose the

OF one Paul Seaton, who took the
apartment below.
Their mail from the first was con-
fused. Letters intended for Paula and
addressed simply to Paul Seyton or
p. Seyton were sure to find their way
into the letter-box below. AS Mr..
