 Speaking of stories. why. a half dozen or more bright, swift sketches might be written about the odds and ends scattered over the top of my bu- reau. The best of it is that the vari-. ous objects seem to have collected nat urally, as though by some subtle law of inanimate things and myself to
 have been given little or nothing to do about it. It never occurred to me to study into it before. Indeed, the very thought of studying anything SO pro- saic and commonplace, so useful and convenient and ordinary as the top of an old bureau is Imaginable But now, as my eye lights on one trifie and another, I can see what a treasure
 mine of story themes it offers to any l Kipling or Stevenson who points the 1 pen of a ready writer
 To begin with, 1t is an old bureau, not an antique not venerable nor val uable, but simply old, worn, shabby, with commodious drawers, and an am pie looking glass, and a plain marble top covered by an equally plain bureau scarf of linen, plainly hemmed- So ] far, nothing could be more austere. | But where, nowadays, one would look for silver-backed brushes, and silver mounted frames, and glittering gew-
 gaws. instead, there are a few plain
 mementoes of human life stories stories grave and deep and sweet 1 In small, black, velvet-lined case is
 an old-fashioned daguerreotype, taken long ago, long before I was born, of the et-faced woman best loved in eyes and lips may be traced the lines of sickness and sorrow coming of those days when her baby children fell on sleep-the cold of their long sleep chill ing the life springs in her heart. There are other senlblances of her, photo graphs, and a portrait done later in life, when the keenest edge of her sor-
 row had softened and been over-liyed, &lrr @f- -T1. older, had grown brave and bright and tenderly joyous. But love the faded little, old daguerreotype, and love to keep 1t where my eyes can look into ! her eyes and my heart call out, and up and in, deep in to that loving mother
 heart of hers
 | Simply framed is the photograph of my dearest friend, the one I love to | call my sister-friend, having never
 known sister of my very own, blood kin. Slightly worn and weary 1t looks,
 as though some perplexing life problem
 were pressing her hard; yet mex | one who is sure to meet life's problems nobly. Volumes could not speak my loving thoughts of her. Obscurely in the center, and close back against the 1 looking glass, is the pin cushion have I covered with lowered velvet, and was given me years ago as a Christmas gift by little girl. the child of a l friend, who made it herself with her own small hands. So many years ago | it was that she is one of the grown
 ups now, with little daughter of her
 own quite old enough to make Christ
 mas gifts for her mothers friends. if ! she cared to. Near to the cushion stands a pen-tray of olive wood from
 Rome; and, hanking it on the other side, is a deep tinted bowl of old ma jolica from Tuscany.

A couRsE lN MArRIMoNY.

From the Kansas agricultural college at Topeka comes pamphlet written by one of the professors, and called, "A Better Crop of Boys and GirIs.'' What the professor wants is a scien- tidcalIy worked course in matrimony to be a part of the instruction in the public schools of the state. He argues that in Kansas people know all about rearing cows and pigs and raising alfalfa. but that a young man, contem- plating marriage, does not know so well a good young woman when he fees her. and a young woman, in the game circumstances. is a little uncer- sain as to how to size up the young man. He thinks that since both do not know the evidences of real worth in the opposite sex, the nan falls in love with a. show hat or a mincing gait, and the woman- with a fla.shy uecktie or Eiistening rings. Surely hs would have edded other things if they play foot ball out there So he would have tEem tanght in the schools what they ought to look for in each other, and what they ought to expect in the married life Then when a couple applies for a license they will be put through the sprouts. and if the examination is not good. be refused a license Imagine the result if the man was told he ought to marry somebody eise--Newbury- port News.
 The good. old way doesn't have so many flaws in it as do the minds of these regulators, who not only feel sure people are not marrying right, but that the climatic conditions of the country. and all other conditions, might be improved. It is a good thing that the privilege of talking is as far as these reforn1er= get G1rfs may be marrying red neckties instead of men, but the necktie never rises to the dignity of becoming the head of the family. The race -as been suiting it's fancy for untold generations and there is no valid reason why it should not con- tinus to dc SO

The late snow has led the bluejays to seek food in the backyards of su- burban residences. He would rather lunch on free suet than to follow the more laiborious and more uncertain plan of hunting grubs. The jay is a pretty bird, and would be in popular favor if he was not as noisy as a crow. How he developed his yawp is beyond the ken of man. He is readily domesticated and his cage manners are cute. He has many a trick, and will learn his name as readily as a dog, and like the parrot has ability to say words. He has a fancy for strictly fresh laid eggs and is very particular about selecting. his own eggs.
