middle-class women, VINO marry mid
dle-class men, who earn their living
from week to week, month TO month,
or year to year. Every man of bust.
ness Is man of credit Tho, perhaps,
only having $500 in his bank, his bills
for $4,000 running over three, six,
nine, and twelve months, are readily
accepted and handed on as cash. In
France, this system prevails even in
the home. Owing to the fantastic
finance of women, no such thing ex-
lists here, and the result is, man has
to keep money for weekly books"
which would be much better employed
in his business. The result is long

besides this, was never without mon

1t was "her wayp She considered

that my wife's twenty years of pay

An Unknown ANGEL.

She walks unnoticed In the street:
The casual eye
Sees nothing in her fair or sweet.
The world goes by
Unconscious that an angels feet
Are passing nigh.
She little has OF beautys wealth;
Truth will allow
Only her priceless youth and health
Her broad white brow:
Yet grows she on the heart by stealth
j scarce know how.
She does n thousand kindly things
That no one knows;
A loving womap's heart she brings
To human woes;
And to her face the sunlight clings
Where'er she goes.
And so she walks her quiet ways
With that content
That only comes to sinless days
And innocent:
A life devoid of fame or praise,
Yet nobly spent.

Naturalist Tells Of Peculiar Antics Of

In the Laysan islands of the Pa
ciflc the albatross is very tame and
very abundant A naturalist thus de-
scribes the so-called dance or cake

interesting birds: Two albatrosses
approach each other bowling profound.
ly and stepping rather heavily. They
circle around each other nodding sol.
EMMY all the time. Next they fence
a little, crossing bills and whetting
them together pecking meanwhile,
and dropping stiff little bows. Sudden.
ly one lifts its closed wing and
nibbles at the feathers underneath
or rarely If in a hurry merely turns
its head and tucks its bill under it's
wing. The other bird during this
short performance assumes a statu-
esque pose and either looks mechan.
ically from side to side or snaps its
bill loudly few times. Then the first
bird bows once and, pointing its head
and beak straight upward, rises on its
toes, puffs out its breast and utters
a prolonged nasal groan, the other
bird swapping its bill loudly and rap
idly at the same time. When they
have finished they begin bowling at
zach other again, almost always rap
ydly and alternately, and presently re
peat the performance"

CRUSHING.

The youth bad just left college, and
his ambition, like his collar, was high.
AT home the all-engrossing subject
was the young mans future career.
and he was discussing with his par
ents which of the professions stood
most in need OF his genius. The
fathers idea of his sons ability was
disgustingly low.
81 think" said the old man, "that
you had better adorn one of the stools
in my Office"
The young man drew himself up
and the high collar grew tight as he
strove to swallow his righteous anger
Folding his arms, he asked:
us thy servant a dog?"
mo, but you'll grow!" came thu
crushing response.

ADVICE FROM "HER FATHER"
Not Calculated to Cheer the WouId-5e
Benedict.


Benedict.
friend of the writer. who mar
ried a woman with a temper OF her
own, tells an amusing story at her
expense. They have been married for
about two years, and as despite her
imperiousness they have got along
very well, she smiles when the story
is repeated.
After counting for some time the
young man summoned up courage to
put the momentous question. He was
duly accepted, but a hint was thrown
out that he should see her father. He
readily agreed, and one evening
called to talk the matter over with
her parent.
When the matter had been arranged
the father said:
We'll, young man, If you want to
marry my daughter you must first get
your life insured in her favor"
Certainly" answered the would-be
benedict, pleased to find the father so
soicitous for the girls future.
(which company would you recon-
mend?"
~ would recommend none, sir" was
the answer. but" he added. as his
daughters bursts OF temper came to
his mind, you had better choose
some pay-all claims company. They
allow suicide"
