A ROMANCE 6POILEO.
Moral Is That Tonne Women Should Deni
Discreetly with Their Flaneea.
A charming romance has come to light
over in the nnromantio cfcLpf Brooklyn.
j t appears that not longest}) a teacher
jo one of the schools for children set
them to writing compositions, of which
E he herself was to be the subject—that
is, the scholars were told they might
write out their impressions of their
teacher.
One of these essays, of peculiar literary
excellence for a small child, drifted, in
some way, into one of the Brooklyn pa
pers, which in its turn fell into the hands
of a young dentist in one of the growing
towns in Montana. The description of
the teacher's charms so captured his
fancy and fired his imagination that he
was moved to write a letter, addressed
to her in care of the paper which pub
lished the composition. In due time the
letter reached her hands. Sho answered
it and a brisk correspondence soon
sprung np, with an exchange of photo
graphs and confidences,’which resulted
in the formation of an engagement. ■
The marriage date was set, and shortly
before the month : containing the wed
ding day arrived the yonng dentist re
ceived a letter from his fiancee, in which
she said that she had one more important
fact to reveal to him, namely, that while
her picture represented her as being a
yonng woman of some personal charms,
she considered it only frank to tell him
that her beauty was marred by very de
fective teeth, which, she naively added,
could easily be repaired after their mar
riage without any great expenso.
Whether the young woman’s physical
defect or her business enterprise de
stroyed the yonng man’s ideal is not def
initely kuown, nor is it really known at
present that the marriage is positively
declared off, bnt it certainly does look
as if it were, for three times since the
receipt of that letter has the skittish
yonng dentist written to postpone the
ceremony, and the yonng woman is con
sequently obliged 'to keep altering the
fashion of her wedding gowns in order
that her trousseau may very properly
represent the latest modes—a privilege
which every bride is certainly entitled to.
This fable teaches, or should teach,
that a yonng woman should manage her
matrimonial arrangements with discre
tion as well ns with frankness.—New
York Evening Sun.
ON THE ROAD.
The Oeldi are all sweet with h»r.
The brake, an all bHItia with Meg,
On the hedges rose carUnds s«r»y.
Convolvulus clusters throne,
■A» shoeless, .ml tattered, and crime, and ctmv.
He shuffles along.
A skylark sings high shove,
A thrush from yon hanging bough.
Far .way In the wood . dove;
But he paan with scowling brow.
Their melodies once he wss wont to love;
He hates them now.
Hate, nil; save the sheltering night.
When under n bank he creeps.
And Squalor is out or tight,
And Hunger Its distance keeps.
And unmocked by tbs birds and the meadows
bright.
His misery sleeps.
—New York Tribune.
Blot of Women In llolognn.
Bologna waa in an uproar a short time
ago in consequence of the violent street
demonstrations of the 2,000 women em
ployed in tho arsenal there. The gov
ernment had just ordered 21,000,000 car
tridges, and in the midst of the resulting
hurry and hustle several women threw
about explosives with the greatest care
lessness. A young woman superintend
ent reported this, and the careless women
were discharged. The superintendent
had already earned the hatred of the
women under her by her pretty face and
popularity with the officers.
The discharge of the woman she had
reported for discipline brought this
hatred to a white heat, and a conspiracy
was formed to lynch her. The officers
in charge of the arsenal discovered tho
plot and gave the pretty superintendent
a guard of ten policemen, who watched
over her night and day. All the women
in the arsenal then went on a strike and
marched up and down the streets, shout
ing, stoning every one they met, nnd
usually bringing up before the pr- tty
superintendent’s house. Whenever the
superintendent, nppeased in the street
the women were after her with clubs
and stones, and were fought bock in
hand-to-hand tussles with her escort of
policemen.
At night the women painted the town
till the last Bologna!te was aroused and
brought to his window with loud de
mands for peace. The government
finally listened to these demands, and
had the streets kept clear at night by a
company of soldiers. Although moat of
the women have since returned to work,
the plot against the fascinating superin
tendent is still on, and she attends to
her duties only under the gnard of her
ten policemen.
Mrs. Mona Catnt.
Mrs. Mon* Caitd is a woman who. is a
lover of jewels and laces and dainty
draperies, open to all Kethetic influ
ences. Her drawing room in London
reflects her quaint and original taste in
its arrangements, ita inviting ingle
nooks and tbs odd windows over the
Mantel. The “den" in which she writes
cries out against its name. It is a mar
vel of white enamel end delicate tinfc-
»»!?.. even the bookcase mid the pretty
writing desk showing the fleckless fin
ish.
Here she has a special drawer for the
manuscripts of her new books, “One That
Wins.” “Whom Nature Lcadeth” and
The Wing of Azrael.” Mr. Caird pro
claims himself ready to maintain against
ill the woild that his wife makes the
ix’st enp of tea in London. She is a
pretty figure while serving it, clothed in
hing, falling house robe in tints of
l»nk and gold. Her soft, heavy brown
Imir, waving low on her forehead; the
lainty enjia and saucers, fragile as egg
•hells, seem fitter burdens than Bociologi-
treatises for her fingers.—London

An Affecting Incident.
The conflagration of the scaffolds in
tended for fireworks for the celebration
of the marriage of Louis XVI is gener
ally known. Amidst the distracted
multitude pressing on every side, tram
pled under the horses’ feet, precipitated
into the ditches of the Rue Royale and
the square, was a yonng man, with a
girl with whom he was in love. She
was beantifnl; their attachment had
lasted several years; pecuniary causes
had delayed their nnion; bnt the follow
ing day they were to be married. For a
long time the lover, protecting his be
trothed, keeping her behjnd him, cover
ing her with his own person, sustained
her strength and courago. Bnt the tu-
mult, the cries, the terror and peril
every moment increased. “I am sink
ing,” she said; "my strength fails. I
can go no further.”
“There is yet a way!” cried the lover
in despair; “get on my shonlders.” He
feels that his advice has been followed,
and tho hope of saving her whom he
loves redoubles his ardor nnd strength.
He resists the most violent concussions;
with his arms firmly extended before his
breast he with difficulty forces his way
through the crowd; at length be clears
it. Arrived at one of the extremities of
the place, having set down his precious
burden, faltering, exhausted, fatigued to
death, but intoxicated with joy, he tnras
round. It was a different person 1 An
other, more active, had taken advantage
of his recommendation. His beloved
was no morel—New York Ledger.
Just »n Ordinary Woodchuck Log,
When I was a boy my father had a
fine field of clover, and ho discovered
that woodchucks were making sad havoc
with it. On the field was a log, and
near the log the destruction was the
greatest. My father told me I must kill
those woodchucks. I went to the field a
number of times, bnt could not get a
shot at them. I came to the conclusion
that I must use a little strategy; so one
morning I went to the field before light.
With my gnn both barrels loaded with
J heavy charge of BB shot, I got in a
position where I could take a range of
the log lengthwise.
As it began to grow light the wood
chucks began to gather for their morn
ing frolic. They mounted the log, sat
np and looked aronnd to see there
was nothing to disturb them. When I
thought the log was nearly covered with
them I pulled both barrels at once. The
gnn kicked me over. When I got np
there were no woodchucks to be seen. 1
•vent to the log and picked up fourteen
dead woodchucks, and it wasn’t any
great log for woodchucks, either.—Bos

Hut Offlro Cut. Are Very Useful.
We have edited a newspaper for sev
eral years, and in that time wo have re
ceived propositions to advertiso goods on
shares, to advertise and take the pay in
pills, in trees, in flowers, in free tickets,
have even had opera house managers
demand advertisements as a matter of
news, and then demand pay for admis
sion or no go; bnt it remained for an
enterprising merchant of Temple to cap
the climax with his proposition. He
has a lot of strayed animals, and after
hinting aronnd and suggesting “news'
items that would contain some reference
to the lost animals, be finally proposed
to advertise for them if ire would take
the pay in oats.—Temple Times.
Her Regard ter Propriety.
A gentleman on a’cycling tour staid
a night st a prim old lady’s cottage, the

took care to impress the fact on his host

mast enter his room to wake him at a
particular time in the morning. Wak
ing of himself some time later he found
that the old lady, with creditable regard
for propriety, had slipped under bis door

Simple Safeguard, on Electric Railway..
M. C. Sullivan suggests in The Elec

each car operated by electricity of a
pair of rubber gloves, insulated pliers

indicate their uae. These may poesibly

inconvenience, and of obviating seriona

The greatest measure of variability in
the matter of lopped ears is to be found
among dogs. Spaniels, setters, pointers,
bloodhounds, beagles and foxhoand* ah
have long, pendulous ears: bulldogs, ter
riers, collies and greyhounds droop only
the tips of their ears; the spits hag erect
ears, while mastiffs and many other
breeds have short, pendulous or semi-
pendulous ears.
The elephant probably came of an an
cestral stock that had erect ears, bnt for
ages past thera has been no creature
powerful enough to cause it alarm, and
for want of exercise the muscles which
move the ear have lost ton* and wasted
away, leaving th# ear to lop or hang
pendulous.
Directly one enters* room there is a
tense either of cheer or the reverse.
After leaving the apartment one may
not be able to tell how it wse furnished,
bat every one knows the effect pro
