Bushes.
From the st. James Gazette.

Blushing is not an art. neither is 1t a
sign of ill-breeding. as some unkind peo-
pie maintain. The fact is, it is just nat
ural for some persons to blush as it is for
others to turn pale. The same laws of
nature which govern the one rule govern
the other. The capillaries, or small blood
vessels. which connect the arteries and
the cheeks, q network so fine that 1t rs
necessary to employ a microscope to dis
tingush them. Ordinarily, the blood passes
through these vessels in normal quantities,
leaving only the natural complexion. But
when some sudden emotion takes posses
sion of the heart Its action increases and
an electric thrill instantly leaps to the
cheeks. The thrill is nothing more than the
rush of blood through the invisible capu-
laries just beneath the delicate transpar-
ent surface of the skin.
The causes that bring about this condi-
ton in the circulating system are called
mental stimuli. They consist of joy, ana, ar,
shame and many other emotions. Sudden
horror, remorse or fear, on the contrary
influence the nerves which control the blood
vessels and the face becomes white. Blush
ing and pallor result from the sudden ac-
ton of the mind on the nervous system.
So If the mind be forewarned and prepared
for emotions, both habits can at least he
partially overcome. But when the nervous

effect a perfect cure. 1t Is the sensitive

girl stolid by nature, or who by conven-
tiOnal education has her nerves under per-
feet control, seldom bushes

Girls Choosing Their Husbands.
ON the Lor don Telegraph

From the Lo1 don Ielegraph.
In England, leap year is supposed to
confer upon the fair sex the privilege of
choosing life partners for better or for
worse but the custom is more honored in
the breach than in the observance. The
gypses, especially in Hungary, enjoy and
make very extensive use of the right at
all times, in accordance with an ancient
suction. Thus manageable young
gypsy girl in the land of the Magyars, as
soon as her heart is smitten, takes good
care that the smiter shall hear of the havoc
he has wrought and have chance of con-
selling her. With this praiSeworthy object
in view. she has a love letter tndited places
a coin in a piece of dough, bakes It and
throws the cake and the billet douX dur
ing the night into the bedchamber of her
bridegroom elect. Then she possesses her
soul in patience and awaits developments
The Burmese maiden begins her marriage
campaign at much earlier stage. In
order to get together a goodly gathering
places lamp in her window at night-it
is tnown as ''the lamp of love"-and en-
tices all those youths who are candidates
for the order of benedict. In sunny An
dalusia, the peasant girl whose heart has
been stolen by a stalwart young husband
man, prepares tasty pumpkin cake and
sends 1t to his home. 1t he eats it-and the
Andalusian girls take good care to make
it highly edible-the pair are forthwith be-
trOthed.

TELLING STORIES.
Peculiar Occupation Of Residents OF
Jewish District on East Side.

From the New York Times
In New York there are at least three
people who earn their bread and butter by
telling stories. They live in the Jewish
district In the teemng east side, where
they are known as marshalliks, or testers
Their services are especially in request in
Hebrew circles when there is a birth, a
marriage, or a confirmation at the syna-
gogue. On such eventful occasions the
teller of tales is all conspicuous by his
pleasantly and entertaining ability. He
takes what he can get in the way of re-
Enumeration, which varies according to the
wealth of his audience. On some occa-
sions he will manage to collect as much as
So, and on others not more than 50 cents
for hour or more's entertaining.
The profession of the rnarshallik Is three
fold in character. He can tell a first-rate
story, sing a good song, and compose
verses and put them to melody to suit the
particular festivity at which he presents
himself. Dancing, however is not one of his
accomplishments. During a Hebrew mar
riage feast he will enter his own invita-
ton. On such occasions he is always well
come, and will be asked by either the bride
or bridegroom to entertain the guests pres
emit.
His favorite instrument may be cornet,
harp or violin. Being Jewish audience
he will play his particular instrument
the weird old Hebrew melodies beloved
by his co-religionists, and conclude by add
ing some congratulatory rhymes and mot
toes suitable for the occasion, not few
of his often clever sayings being created
on the spur of the moment. Story telling.
however, is his forte, and his allegories
listened to with the greatest interest by
the assembled guests. The story he re-
cites is usually of the fairy tale nature
Of the traditional couple. for instance, who
welded under oriental skies and lived in
peace and happiness thereafter, adding at
the same time some apt reference to the
newly married couple sitting before him,
and SO keep in touch with the sympathetic
side of his listeners.
When finished telling the story the wan
dering entertainer proceeds to pass around
his hat which soon becomes weighty with
the pennies, nickels and dimes poured into
1t, every one in the room contributing
something. After the collection the mar
shallik will invariably be asked to tell an
other story or sing a song, and at it's con-
clusion he is sure of an invitation to share
in the wedding feast. Following the re-
past he will give a farewell song, after
which he takes his leave and proceeds to
some other house in the neighborhood
where he knows festivity of like nature
is in progress

rHE COAL TNvEsrIGArIoN.

The coal mine operators, the miners
and the railroads may rest easy until
Monday night. The legislature is not
going to begin its investigation of the
coal famine before that time because
both houses have adjourned to rest from
the tension of the senatorial fight and
will not reconvene until Monday after
noon. It is probable that most of the
work of the investigation committee will
be conducted right here in Topeka as
there are men here who can, in all prob
ability, furnish evidence of the sort con
templated in the investigation resOlu-

vesigation would require but a short

for the members Of the committee to be

any considerable length OF time.

re srArE LEEcHEs.

Is there any good reason why the
meeting OF a legislature should be any
excuse for a grand rush to get on the
states pay roll? 1t invariably hap
pens. but why should a iong-suffering
public stand for it?
Surprising the state were a private
corporation, how long would officials
remain in charge of the road who en-
pley 200 employees for whom there was
no use? If the state were a private
corporation so employees would do the
work which 300 are paid to do in the
Kansas legislature now-and the COM
mittee clerks have yet to be appointed
in the house.
It would perhaps be TOO much to eX-
pect a public employe to work as hard
as one for a private corporation, but
really 100 employees ought to be enough
to attend to the needs of the legislature
thereby eliminating 200 who are prac-
tically useless. These 200 extra en-
ployes cost the state three dollars
day each, a total of six hundred dollars
day for the extra number, or $4,000
for the session. This may not be any
great sum for the state as a waole to
pay. but II ought not to be so.
The trouble is that too many people
get IHe legislative naDlL ana demand
that their members in each house secure
them a job in order that they may be
enabled to loaf around the state house
corridors and legislative Hobbies at
three dollars per day. Consequently
as soon as a session of the legislature
convenes there is a great scramble for
jobs by the members. 1t was worse in
the senate this year than in the house
because the senators have all been
there before and know how to get the
jobs. In the house most of the mem
bers were new and did not understand
the gentle art Of job scrambling. When
the senators did not find enough jobs to
fiji their wants they manufactured
few more.
The job scrambIing business is not
confined to any one party. The fusion
lists grew to be just as bad as the Re
publieans when they were in power. It
does not seem to be a question of party.
It is simply a custom to plumber the
