ROW TO COAX A MAN TO rliOPOSF
An elderly man was telling to a group
of giddy young girls the other day how
he proposed to his wife w hen he was a
young man- She was sewing at the time,
he said, si he never would have had the
courage to do it. If girls would sew
more he thinks they would have more
matrimonial chances. Hewing be con
aiders the best accomplishment that a
woman can have. A woman engaged
with a needle has a domestic, homelike
air that is irresistible to a man who loves
her. It is a picture of what she would
be in her own home, and makes him long
that it should be his also. How can a
man propose to a girl who sits straight
up in her chair staring hard at him with
a pair of bright eyesf But when she is
bending gracefully ovei a hit of plain or
fancy sowing, apparently absorbed in
counting the stitches, and the arrows of
her eyes are sheathed for a few minutes,
ts e pluck* up courage enough to offer her
bis heart and hand. The average young
man is bashful in such affairs, though
hold enough at other linns, and needs
encouragement and opportunities. What
sort nl encouragement is a pair of bright
eyes staring into bis, watching hi* cm
barrassment? Listen to the advice of an
old man, who ha* been all through it;
drop your «ye* ami give the young man a
chance Remember this, girl*, w hen the
favorite young man drops in to make mi
evening veil, gel out your bit of fancy
work and look domestic, and with every
utitch of your needle you will bind hi*
heart more firmly to your own.— Chicago

ASIATIC ( Hli D WIVES.
The Indian reformer* who have taken
in hand the re marriage of girl widows
find no difficulty in obtaining plenty of
candidate*. Where trouble comes in is
as to the disposal of these inatrinumally
disposed Indies pending the discovery of
auitublc partners. No sooner dm'* a widow
announce her intention of securing another
husband if she can than she is disowned
by ait her kith nnd kin, cut by her ac
quaiutauecs, and in some cases sent adrift
to pick up a living for herself. The re

that object widow homes have been es
tablished here nnd there. The expedient

vised, but the managers of the homes are
not to be envied. In order to carry out
the rest of the scheme, suitors have to be
admitted to make choice among the he
reared beauties, and then, of course, a
certain amount of philandering must be
allowed to enable the high contracting
parties to come to terms. All maternal

Pueblo Indians of New Mexico.
By far the most interesting inhabit
an!* ,,{ the heart of New Mexico arc the
pueblo Indians. As to their origin, much
ha been, and more may be, surmised,
According to the traditions of the wise
men, their forefathers came from tin
great mountain* and lake* far to the
northward age* upon ages ago. Fa hies
and myths are interwoven with what
may be legend* founded upon fact; but
the truth is difficult to separate from fic
tion. Their myths m to refer to fami
lies rather than to entire tribes, and they
are so strongly colored w ith imagery as
to he susceptible of almost any iuterpre
tali on. At first sight the temptation to
connect the Pueblos directly with the
ancient cliff dwellers is very strong.
Numerous ruined towns and villages,
once belonging to (ids curious people,
occur within the region* now occupied by
the Pueblos. Every one has heard of
tin- old stone houses, half hidden, in al
most inaccessible nooks,on the steep faces
of high bluffs, or built again -1 rocky walls,
much like the mud nest* of swallows.
Less well known arc the cave dwellings,
which afforded shelter to probably the
same people at a later period. hollowed In some

WEEDS IN LAWNS.
The worst lawn weed of late summer
nnd early autumn is one that the careless
observer may uot sen at all. M e refer
to the “crab-grass” (Pauicutn sanguinnle The
digitaria of the older writers).
stems of this grass lie close to ground,
taking root at every joint, and crowding
out most other grasses. Fortunately this
weed is an annual; were it a perennial
we might despair of ever getting rid of
it. Its flowers (and seeds, of couise,) are
borne at the top of each stem, which are
a foot, more or less, in height; the flow
ers and seeds arc arranged closely upon
fiat stems or spikes, which are three to
six inches long; there are four to fifteen

Hurrrietl Eating.
It is a mistake to eat fast. Mastifica
tioa performed in haste must be imperfect
even with the best of teeth, and due ad
mixture of the salivary secretion with the
food cannot take place. When a crude
mas* of inadequately crushed muscular
fiber, or undivided solid material of any
description is thrown into the stomach it
acts as a mechanical irritant, and sets up
a condition in the mucous membrane
lining that organ which greatly impedes,
if it does not altogether prevent, the pro
cess of digestion. When the practice of
eating quickly and tilling the stomach
with unprepared food is habitual, the di
gestive organ is rendered incapable of
performing its proper functions. Either
a much larger quantity of food than
would he necessary under natural condi
tions i* required, or the system suffers
from lack of nourishment. The matter
may seem a small onc, but it is not so.
Just as a man may go on for years with
defective teeth, imperfectly masticating
his food, and wondering why he suffers
from indigestion, so a man may live under
an infliction of hurried dinners and en
dure the consequent loss of health, with
out knowing why he is not well or how
easily the cause of his illness might be
remedied. —Medical Classics.
Fresh Air at Night.
An extraordinary fallacy is the dread
of night air. M’hat air can we breathe
at night but night air? The choice is
between pure night air from without and
foul air from within. Most people pre
fer the latter—an unaccountable choice.
" hat will they say if it is proved to be
true that fully one-half of all the diseases
w e suffer from are occasioned by people
sleeping with their windows shut? An
open window most nights in the year can
never hurt any one. In great cities night
air is often the best and purest to be had
"> twentv-four hours. One could better
understand shutting the windows in town
during the day than during the night for
the ^ ke of the sir k- The absence of
the quiet, all tend to make the
night the best time for airing the patient.

The World's Wheat.
The earlier expectations regarding
the probable size of the domestic wheat
crops have been found to be too small,
an<l tlie total is now estimated at from
485,000,000 to 500,000,000 bushels. One
journal which has given careful atten
tion to the subject believes that the
harvest will amount to 498,000,000 165,
bushels (333,000,000 winter and
000,000 spring wheat ), as compared with
415,868,000 bushels in 1887-’oe and with
456,329,000 bushels in 1886-’87. If re
serve stocks of wheat in the United
States are about 20,000,000 bushels
smaller than they were one year ago. as
has been estimated, and visible stocks
(as above; 13,000,000 bushels, less the
total di ficiency of about 30,000,000 with or
33,000.000 bushels as compared than

“Let hie Baby Cry.”
In the old mining days a child was so
rare in Sun Francisco that once in a thc

cry. I havn’t heard such a sound in ten
years.” The audience stopped applauded and th.
sentiment, the orchestra
baby continued its performance amid
unbounded enthusiasm.
Electricity is now employed in

the house two w ires aie laid, isolated
from each other, und connected with
induction apparatus. When the
attempts to enter the house, he
the circuit and is killed by the shock.
