young woman as just such a young
man as Andrew would ardently desire
to present with his throbbing heart
and the contents of the neat package.
The latter contained a ring, set with
a single diamond The throbbing
heart contained what Andrew was
ready to promise should be lifelong
devotion to Amabel.
Why go into detail regarding the
whole year during which he had laid
siege to the heart of Amabel?
There had been moments this
Christmas eve when Andrews fingers
nervously sought his breast pocket.
Amabel knew he was on the verge of
proposing Gracious mercy! The

The stammering speech, the flushed
brow, the hesitant remarks, the fxity
of stare-all these and many other
symptoms are to the average woman
what temperature and respiration are
to the specialist in fevers.
For some unexplained reason women
like to postpone a proposal. They
prolong the agony. They enjoy the
signs, the awkwardness, the anxiety,
of the swain. They revel in his alb
ject willingness to sacrifice himself,
if need be, to gain their promise.

LEEcn HAS BEEN DEPoSED
Few Are Sold Now, Though Not Long
Ago the Traffic in Them Was
LARGE,

Another OF our cherished ideas will
soon be no more. The leech has been
deposed from its sovereignty and its
passing forms the subject of an ar
ticle in the "Mois litteraire ct pittores-
que" by NJ. Jacques Boyer, who tells
us that prior tc 1870 dozen whele-
sale houses in Paris were engaged in
the traffic of this "yibier pharmaceu-
tique," and that they sold between
100000 and 100000 a month at the
rate of $50 francs or $50 per 1000
One house alone survives and the
number sent out is 10000 and the
price has fallen to about 20 francs per
1000.
What we may term the leech farmer
for want of better name we are toll
as Phiridiculteur, who formerly exer-
cised his calling In the neighborhood
or Bordeaux In an artificial marsh. He
had several infirm horses and these
poor creatures were induced by trick
cry to take a bath in the marsh with
the result that the growing leeches
got feed at the expense of the life
blood of the venerable horses, of which
they had no superfluity.
In Croatia, Dalmatia and Turkey
they fish for leeches, which are taken
in baskets like oysters. When these
arrived in France they were placed
in dark cellars without nourishment
the better to fit them for their work
on the invalid.
NJ. Boyer tells an amusing story Of
a lot of leeches purchased for the
navy. They were duly registered as
each was sent out Five it seemed
died natural death, fact which will
be preserved in the archives of the
ministry Of marine.
