Nine Rules For Proposing
BY NORRIS sALMONsON, Marriage
License Clerk.

Proposing is the crucial point In
love, and love, l have learned from
these young men, resembles business
In many ways as far as the proposing
point Is concerned. The psychology
cal instant in many cases Is a matter
Of mathematics, and can easily be
prearranged by any young man who
cares to make a study of women.
Most young, men,rush blindly into the
game without observing its rules, and
that Is one of the reasons why we
have suicides before marriage and
the divorce courts afterward. Write
down these rules:
l. Propose before the winter sets
In.
2. Propose in the moonlight, twi-
light, gaslight (turned low, and
never in the sunlight, daylight or
electric light (unless you've got
smoked glasses).
3. Propose to a girl when she's
hungry or just after she has eaten.
4. Never propose to girl before
o'clock in the afternoon.
s. Don't make up your mind be-
forehand as to what you are going to
say when you propose.
6. Don't get on your knees to pro-
pose.
Z. Don't propose to girl too soon
after gaining her acquaintance.
8. Don't wait too long.
9. Play your cards carefully, and
the average girl can be made to pro-
pose to you, in actions at least.
Why should the proposal be de-
layed until the winter sets in? My
boy, that is an important rule. In
the spring, you know, young mans
fancy lightly turns to thoughts of
love, and in the winter young wom-
ans mind leans to dreams of cozy
little fiat of her own. All girls dream
of home, and they dream of it most
when the parks are dreary and the
bleak winds blow.
A girl should be proposed to either
Just before she has eaten or imme-
diately after. If her lover pops the
blS quSSliOn Wuen HIS lduy lOVe Is
hungry she is apt to glance down the
stretch of years that make the future
and to think of the probable occa-
sions when she will be hungry again,
and in that event it is more than like
ly she will reply favorably. A busi-
ness man is most approachable just
after he has eaten, and why shouldn't
girls be the same way?
It's no use to prearrange your
speech for the momentous occasion,
because you are sure to forget it
when the time comes, and then you
are in an awful predicament For
getting what you intended to say,
you can't collect your thoughts to
think of anything else.
A girl likes to be wooed before she
Is won, and for that reason it is not
safe to propose too soon after gaining
her acquaintance.
Girls are so anxious to get married
nowadays that they will take desper-
ate chances If young man shows the
least hesitancy, and a lot of worrying
that young men do is entirely useless
for that reason.

Surgery for AiIing Trees.

One Of the curiosities of modern
forestry is the care of beautiful old
shade trees. The amputation of dis
eased or dead limbs is as carefully
performed to prevent further decay
from the elements as in surgical op-
erations on human beings. Decay
ing cavities are cleaned and filed
with preserving cement, as is done
by the modern dentist. And the lat
est advance is to build tin roof
along the upper surface of wide
spreading branches where little hol-
lows might hold dampness and pro-
mote decay. Some handsome pa
triarchs well deserve it-Boston Her

Money in BOGUS Pennies.

Strangely enough, the most profit
able coins to counterfeit are pennies,
because for an expenditure of IS
which leaves profit of S2 cents on
the dollar. The chief difficulty is in
getting them into circulation. 1t also
takes expert workmanship to make
these pennies, because they must be
made with a die. The best coun-
terfeiters pay most of their attention
to the making of quarters, half dol
lars and dollars. With silver at 60
cents an ounce counterfeiter can
make five quarters from every ounce,
quarters that ring true and have ev-
cry appearance of the real thing

FURIOUS HUMOR ON CHILD.
Itching, Bleeding Sores Covered Body
Nothing Helped Her-Cuticura
Cures Her in Five DAYS.

"After my granddaughter of about seven
years had been cured of the measles, she
was attacked about fortnight later by a
furious itching and painful eruption all
over her body, especially the upper part of
it, forming watery and bleeding sores, es-
pecially under the arms, of considerable
size. She suffered great deal and for
three weeks we nursed her every night,
using all the remedies we could think Of.
Nothing would help. We tried the Cuti-
cura Remedies and after twenty-four hours
we noted considerable improvement, aud,
after using only one complete set of the
Cuticura Remedies, in five consecutive days
the little one, much to our joy, had been
entirely cured, and has been well for long
time. Mrs. F. Ruefenacht, r. F. d. 8, Bak-

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Greed prevents real gain.
There is no saving anger without
love.
Airing our aches will never heal
them.
No one ever regretted burying a
SANDER.
II you want to be happy make
some one less sad.
This world is enriched by the good
more than by the clever.
If the voice of conscience disturbs
you, silence it by obeying it.
The light of love shows the true
self as the light of learning can not.
Little deeds tell more than the
largest, plainest bumps of character
Plenty of people who talk of hon.
esty as good policy fail to pay the
premiums.
You go forward to no prize without
leaving behind many things that seem
desirable.
You are not likely to lead men to
faith in God by preaching crooked
facts about men.
1t is faith mixed with facts and not
with fancies that holds the convic-
tion in a sermon.
Some folks think they are generous
because they are willing to give up
their good intentions.
The happy Christian so advertises
his religion that the other man will
not be happy till he gets it.-From
Sentence Sermons in the Chicago
Tribune.

Plenty of Borax and Soda.

Near Ashcroft, in British Columbia,
are a number of small lakes, whose
shores and bottoms are covered with
a crust containing borax and soda in
such quantities and proportions that
when cut out it serves as a washing
compound. The crust is cut into
blocks and handled in the same man
ner as ice, and it is estimated that
one of the lakes contains 10000 tons
