“Then yon are not going to marry for

“No."
“What for, then?"

went on, “and then I am growing older*

“Yes, though I would never own it;
bnt I am in earnest now, and I mean to

“Have you selected the lady!"
“There are two of them.”
“Oh, you are going over to the Mor

"No, but you know a reserve force

tbo rest Now, my dear Fred, all this
nonsense about falling in love is bosh—
pare humbug. 1 nover could love one
woman any better than another, unless
I knew her better and discovered in her
nature more lovable qualities. 1 think
it is much bettor to select a woman
whom you think in every way likely to
suit you, and then set about learning to
like her. When a man is bead over ears
ii^ love his judgment is warped and his
eyesight proverbially poor.”
Fred Bent laughed good naturodly.
“1 don’t know, Laurie. I am always
in love, so of course my advice is worth
less to you.”
"Exactly,” said his friend. “Now these
two young ladies”
“Would you object to telling mo their
names?" interrupted Bent.
“Not in the least They am both called
Blauche."
“What, the two Blanches?”
“Yes, Miss Sturtevant and Miss Well
ington—both very suitable in everyway,
and, ns far as 1 know, ‘heart whole and '
fancy free.’"
“Well, you ought to win,” said Bent.
“You are good looking, and, by Jove, yon
have plenty of assurance. But I must be
going," and he arose.
At the door he turned and called back:
“Shall I see you at the Leonards’ to- .
morrow night?"
‘Yes, I shall be there."
Tbo next night found him, fautlessly .
attired, at Mrs. Leonard's reception. , j
A shimmer of peach bloom satin in !
the moving mass of humanity attracted
him, and taking a pair of sparkling
brown eyes ns guiding stara he made his
way to the side of Blanche Sturtevant.
As she made room for him beside her
she said:
“I thought you didn’t like receptions.”
“I do not as a general thing,” he re
plied, “but this had a peculiar attraction
for me."
The meaning he threw into the glance
he bestowed on her sent the delicate rose
bloom to her cheeks, and she looked ten
times ns lovely to his fastidious ayes.
But suddenly, while he gazed at her
pretty flnshed face, a queer sensation
seized him. He felt actually timid about
asking this boautiful girl to be his wife,
even though he had been for years a man
of the world. Somehow he felt as though
she could read his very thoughts with
those bright eyes.
“Do I look very badly?”
Her musical voice recalled him to his
“Is it not beautiful to here?* she mid.
“Yes, it hi a fit setting far you.”
“Now you are fiattering me."
“Indeed I am not: I am always truth
ful." and he threw a world of counterfeit

Never attempt to pull the tacks out of
a carpet before lifting it. It is not only
time thrown away, bnt yon are apt to
injure the fabric. Borrow a crowbar of
your neighbor and use it as a pry, and
you can accomplish in five minutes what
used to be considered half a day's work.

GREAT PROPOSITION
-OF-
place was invaded by the merrymakers, km J vee ‘ ™ttle boxes, marbles, gold pieces
and Laurence Weston beat a hasty re- i * n< * *“ b ? f ho “ whlch w ? rk «!
hasty re
treat.
The next day be wrote the two letters
be had promised—for he was a Sum oi
bis word.
To Mias Sturtevant he wrote this:
Dear Miss Blanche—I wish to apolo
gize to foo for Rome remarks I made to you
last night, and to ear that I have changed my
mind concerning the matter I spoke ofi It *u
really ot no consequence, and I beg yon will
sot give U any thought. It was only an Idle
question, which merely amounted to nothing,
and In (act the cause which existed for my re-
qneet no longer exists. Please treat the whole
affair aa a joke, and oblige. Yours,
L. Weston.
On another sheet of the fine cream
note paper he always used he wrote to
Miss Wellington thus:
Diaii Miss Blanche—Had time permitted
last night ~I should have urged you to accept
my hand and heurt. Bnt the crowd was sc
great and the opportunity for private conver
sation so limited that it was lmimnsible. You
promised to write to me—may I hope for a fa
vorable answer? If so. please appoint a timefoi
me to call and tell yon all 1 would nay more
fully than I can commit It to paper. Yours.
L. Weston.
“There," as he folded both letters and
placed them in their envelopes, “I feel
sure of her reply.”
This was in the morning, and in tbe
evening Fred Bent dropped in, as was
his custom.
For a few moments the two men
smoked in silence.
r Then there was a knock on the door,
which Mr. Weston answered.
When he came back into the room be
held in his hand two letters.
“If you will excuse me, Fred, I will
rend these," he said.
“Oh, certainly—go ahead. From the
fair charmers, I suppose."
Laurence Weston opened the letters at
random.
The first read like this:
Dkar Mr. Weston—Although your proposal
was a great surprise to mo, for 1 always thought
you wore not a marrying man, I earisay that I
am incliucd to regard it—and you—favorably.
If you will call tomorrow at 101 shall be glad
to receive you. Yours,
Blanche Sturtevant.
Blank dismay was pictured on his
features as he opened the other, and
read:
Mr. Weston:
Dear Sir—It is entirely immaterial to me
whether your language of last night was a Joke
or not, and no apologies are necessary. Allow
me to advise you, though, that in well regu
lated society such jokes are considered Insults
to a woman. Yours,
Blanche Wellington.
“What’s the matter, Laurie? Yon
look aa though you had had a shock,"
said Bent.
“So I have. Here, read these,” and he
; pushed the letters toward his friend.
I Bent read them.
Then he burst into hearty laughter.
“What are you laughing at?’ asked
Weston.
“Ha, hal Because really, old fellow,
I can’t help it. It’s too good—well, if it
isn’t rich. Did you mean to do it?”
t “Mean to do what?"
“Can yon ask me?" said Bert, tragic
ally, waving the two sheets of scented
note paper in the air.
“What have I done? For heaven’s
sako tell me if you can, Fred.”
“Is it possible that you don’t know:
Yon are not very shrewd, Lanrie, or else
yon are in love, and love, you know, is
| ‘proverbially blind.’"
j “Go on.” said Lanrence impatiently.
| “Why, man alive, yon put your letters
1 in the wrong envelopes, as near as I can
see.
A sudden rav of intelligence darted
over Weston’s face.
“I believe 1 did," he said ruefully,
“and see what a scrape I have drawn my
devoted head into.”
“Coulfl you make it up with Miss
Wellington?’
“I feel sure I conld. Bnt Miss Sturte
vant ha', practically accepted me, and
see how I must insult her “
“And yet,” mused Fred, “you ought
to explain to Mias Wellington.”
“I know it,” distractedly, “but if I do
I must also explain to Miss Sturtevant.
“Now, honestly, Laurie, do you care
anything for either one?’
“No, honestly, Fred. I like and admire
one as mnoh as the other.”
“Why not give them both np?”
“And get into the mire deeper than 1
am? Besides, I am determined to
one of them.”
“Well,” said Bent, rising to go, “I am
sorry for you, Lanrie. This is wbat
vour assurance and sound common sense
have brought yon to. For my part, I pre
fer romance. Goodby, old fellow."
“Goodby,” came mournfully from the
depths of the easy chair.
At the door Bent halted.
“I say, Laurie, I might help you out.
I might marry one of them.”
“If you only would; but which one?"
“Aye, that’s it," echoed Bent, as he
doeed the door and went down the hall;
and*the evening breezes wafted his
words back, "That’s the rub—which
one?”—Agnes L. Pratt in Boston Globe.

under it during tiie year. They should |
be carefully placed in a bushel basket, I
and the basket, when full, should be
earefully set away.
In olden days it was supposed that it
took fourteen men to roll up twenty-five
yards of Brussels carpet, and get it
through tbe hall, dining room and kitch
en into the back yard. Man’s incentive
genius has reduced the number to one.
Having arranged with a house mover to
be on hand at a certain hoar, open the
parlor window, attach the tackles, and
as his team walks around the windlass
tbe carpet will gracefully move out and
take a seat on the grass. By an arrange
ment of skids, tramway and rope and
tackle it can be curved around into the
back yard, ready for liangiug on the line.
A line for a carpet should comdat-of a
chain cable formerly used by a steam
boat, and warranted to sustain 10,000
pounds to the inch. When properly
strung from tho house to the barn they
will carry a double parlor carpet in
safety, and even a goatskin rug or two
may be added.
There are several ways of hoisting a
carpet up over the cable so that it can
be beaten. A 20-horse power engine,
with a proper arrangement of shafts and
pulleys, will do it, or a tackle und five
yoke of oxen have been known to accom
plish the purpose. A late spring style
is to start a smudge in the back yard,
turn in a fire alarm, and after the crowd
gets there call for volunteers to help ele
vate.
When a carpet is in position to be
beaten the sharp mau will do some figur
ing. By i little diplomacy an entire
athletic club can be brought up to pelt it
and jump over it and thump thunder
out of it. Any man with a kicking mule
will lend him to you at two shillings an
hour. No tramp applying for grub can
refuse to wield the club for half an lionr.
Policemen on probation, who want to
learn tho use of tbe baton, can be steered
around to knock the tar out of that car
pet if you manage it right. The house
owner who sets out to beat his own car
pet should plan on taking at least a week
for it. No carper is ever in a hurry. It
seems to rather enjoy the novelty of the
occasion.
Some men are confined to precedent in
beating a carpet. Because their father
and grandfather used a broom handle
they hesitate to innovate. A broom han
dle is good as far as it goes, but after the
first hour, when the porous plaster in the
small of the back begins to itch, other
weapons can bo resorted to. A crowbar,
clothes horse, pickax, long handled
shovel, kitchen chair, section of stove
pipe, table leg or fence rail are all con
sidered legitimate implements to use in
getting the best of a carpet.
There is no particular programme laid
down for beating. You can begin on
the east, north, south or west end, or
jump slap dab into the middle of it and
pound toward the outside. The grand
object ia to make the fabric yield np its
store of dust, crumbs, buttons, bones,
tinware, clothespins, hairpins, coarse
combs, asphalt, brickbats and trank
keys.—Detroit Free Press.

“I beg your pardon. Was I staring at
you? Your dress is beautiful—and you.” i
“Thank you,” she said hurriedly.
“I fancied from the inteutness of your
gaze you had not qnito decided whether
I would do or not," and she langhed.
“I was in a brown study,” he returned.
The crowd surged r round them, and
two or three men U>.. .vd an-.Lu^ly at
the seat occupied by W eston.
Some music was playing in another
room, and when the strain had ended
he spoke again. j
, “Miss Sturtevant,” he said, “1 wanted {
to ask you a question tonight, bnt the
crowd is so great that there is not much
opportunity for confidential talks. If
I write to yon tomorrow will yon favor
me with a reply?”
“Certainly!-’ and the brown eyes
smiled sweetly, and perhaps uncon
sciously at him, as he rose to relinquish
his seat to another admirer.
“There—that was neatly done,” was
his mental comment; “no fuss, no love
making to undergo, nothing disagree
able, and if thefatoe are kind 1 shall
have one of the finest looking and one of
the richest women in C for my wife.”
He threaded his way carefully among
the crowd, replying to a kindly greeting
here and there, and i rosently found hi:r.-
self in the conservatory.

which it ia based—tbe Ninth Edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica.
IT TREATS EVERY SUBJECT,
Large or 8m<-ll, mentioned in the original, and of several thousand topics not to
be found in that work. It tells, at length commensurate with the importance
of each, of everything which the scholar, the student, the professional and busi
ness man can wish to know about. With infinite labor the rich etore-honae of
the original has been overhauled, its treasures ol fact conserved, its wealth of
material utilized.
Tbe Americanized Encyclopsdia Britannica
Is valuable because it is accurate, because it is modern, because it has_ rejected
the worthless and preserved the necessary, because it brings the history of
science, literature, commerce, geography and discovery, and‘the mental and
moral development of the race down to the year 1890.
ACCOUNTS OF NEW and LIVE SUBJECTS,
And adequate notices of recent inventions, the developments of States and cities, *
the history of the world as it is making day by day has been added, together with
4 ft Aft’special biographical sketches of noted personages, living and dead,
, UUU brought down to date. A literary treasure beyond price.
It is Bound in Ten Large, Handsome Volumes,
Printed on extra fine paper, in good, clear, new type, made expressly for this
work, and has NINETY-SIX COLORED MAPS, showing every countrv in the
