Man Proposes A Dialogue. BY EDWIN PUGH. "She is absolutely perfect," said young Stafford Orcot. "Sae mostly always is," said Jim. "Ifs quito the commonest type of. she." "Mind you, I'm not one to TWO" Stafford went on. "Some lovers do, I know, but I flatter myself I'm not that kind of mani at nil."/; "Yes, you flatter yourself," mut tered Jim. "Eh ? Oh; I only wish you knew her!" I < '1 know hundreds of her." "She's not lik$ other girls." "Of course she isn't." "In tho first place, as I have told yod, she is perfect," "And in addition te thnt?" "Oh, you wouldst understand. Jim, if ?ne refuses me, I shall die !" "Otherwise I suppose you have de termined to be immo rtal." "Jim, advise me. You're a man of the world." "That is why I shall do nothing of the kind." "I wish you would. I assure you I'd be only too pleased to take your advice if" "If I ndvised you to do as you think beBt. And what would be the use of that ? It would be like spur ring a bolting horse." **Xook hei3l" said Stafford, with .an air of inspiration. "I've a jolly good mind tb speak to her point blank and be done with it. I can't go on like this. Ifs making an old man of me. And at the worst she ?can only condemn me to a lifetime of misery." "And what is a lifetime of misery, after all?" asked Jim. "You can easily compress it into a few weeks. Look at me, for instance." "You ?" Stafford looked slightly incredulous. "When I was a mere boy-ah, it must be some six months ago now," ?aid Jim solemnly, "I, too, was in love. But she told me sho would al ways be my friend, and she hoped that I should find some one more worthy of me." He shook his bead mournfully. "Well," he continued, "to cut a long story short, sho was a better friend to me when she said that than she ever expected to bo. And as for the 'some one more worthy,' their name is legion, but none of 'em are worthy enough." "I hate that kind of cheap talk, Jim," said Stafford impatiently. "So do I/' Jim replied. "But they all say it. Ifs their way of letting you down lightly." Stafford looked at him reproach fully. Jim rose and clapped mm on the shoulder. "My dear old chap," he said, "the world isn't going to stop laughing because a girl has curly nair and a rr m takes himself seriously about it. If you marry this girl, and equally if you don't, youll soon learn to laugh again yourself. You'll have to-wo all have to, to keep our hearts from breaking. I am not one of those who would see love slaugh tered to make an 'Ally Slopef s Half Holiday,' but all the same I am not going to encourage you in the belief that you are not more than slightly ridiculous. Here is a girl good and oharming and all that, I've no doubt, and here are you, such as you are, {>retty ordinary and right. You ove tho girl and want to marry her. Well, tell her BO. Take my word for it, she is very ready to be told." "Jim, old man," said Stafford, smiling wanly, "I feel that I can't talk to you any more about this. Ifs too eacrecL And you're so unsympa thetic. You mean well, but you don't understand. It isn't as if she were one of your frivolous society .girls." "They are qu'^e as much yours as mine," protested Jim. "She is an angel?" said Stafford, -with conviction. "Not yet." "J could die for her." "Why waste a charmine; widow?" "I know you think I'm being a hit extravagant," said Stafford, "but really and soberly I do believe there is something divine about that girl." "Ifs her expression," said Jim gravely. "How did you know that?" cried Stafford. \ "If s cither that or the way she singe." "Yes," Stafford responded eager ly, "she does sing,-you know, only privately, of course/1 \ "Not much, but'often," Jim sug gested. It was the last straw. Stafford picked up his hat. ? "I behove you are turning into a ?rof ound cynic, Jim," he said, "and 'ia sorry to seo it." "A.cynic is never profound," re torted Jim. "All the same, I wish you the best of luck." "She will never accept me." "Even if she does I shan't 5p ?pair," said Jim, grinning. ''By the way, what v. her name?" - "Her r/u?e?" stammered Staf ford. "For pul posea of reference and identification, you know," Baid Jim. "she must have a name, however un worthy." Stafford whispered in his ear and rushed from the room. Jim stood motionless beforo tho ?roplacc. "The same girl!" he said, with a nigh. ?Poor old Stafford!" And he filled his pipe, . . But she nooeptt?d Stafford.; "Of course she ls str months old er now/' Jim reminded himself. "And a woman grows moro inclin ed, to accept something less than ferfcctkm ns the months roll by. t makes a difference/* - "And now you're the happiest man in thc world?" he said when Stafford imparted the great news to bim a day or two later. "? suppose BO," said Stafford, add . ing hastily, -Of course I am."' Jim appraised him with a keen glance. "Her parents," Stafford proceed ed rather inconsequently, "aro all in favor of an early niarriage." "Lucky, mani" "And of course/' said Stafford, "there is no doubt, as her father cays, that the sooner we get it over tho belter." "Sort of cold bath business," thought Jim. "I say, old man," Stafford blurted out at last, "of course I'm awfully happy and all that, and she is quito the dearest little girl in the world, but has it ever ?truck you that mar riage is a little rough on the man?" Jim rose up in his wrath. "Stafford," said he, pointing the finger of scorn at his friend, "she is absolutely perfect, remember. ?You said so yourself." Stafford shuffled. "I said she was as perfect as a woman could bo." "'Absolutely perfecf were the words you used." "That's not evidence. I 6wear it. I had myself perfectly well in hand. And I particularly said at the time I didn't want to be extrav agant." "And you said also that you would surely die if she ?efused you." Stafford tried to laugh. "Never knew you read novelettes before, Jim." "Moreover, you insisted on it that .she was an angel." "You have mixed me up with some other man." "You were certainly not yourself at the time. I could almost wish now that you had been." "Take your time. Say somo more," Stafford drawled. "I've nearly done," said Jim. "You finally accused me of being a cynic because I ventured to suggest she was more or less human." "Were you so wise when you were in love ?" Stafford asked. "No," answered Jim, "but the woman was. She declined to come down from her pedestal."-Black and White. The Proper Way to Introduce People. "In making an introduction the man is always taken to tho lady to be presented, and the formula is, "Miss- A., may I present Mr. B.?" \ Where two women or two men are presented the elder is addressed where the difference is marked. A girl presents her friends to her mother, but the mother says, "Al low me to present my daughter, Mrs. Blank." A woman should rise when another woman is presented to her unless she is much younger than herself. If a man is presented, she retains her seat and bows and smiles cordially. Men always shake hands when introduced to each oth er, /omen do so when desiring to show especial friendliness.-Ladies' Home Journal. I A Lake of fcnfc. Men of science tell of the exist ence in Mexico of a "lake of ink." The body of water or ink or what ever it is is so covered with the ashes from the adjacent volcanoes as to appear a part of the surround ing ground* which is all of the same dulTtint. At first the party of pio neers who discovered the lake in clined to the theory tho.t it was but a mere hole, but the condition ol' the clothes of ono of the party who fell into it quickly disproved thif. ( for the dirt left an indelible stain. It was called ink forthwith, and, as it blended readily with alcohol, one of the draftsmen of the party took the occasion to supply himself with a good cheap quality of drawing ink. v, Care In Drying Linen. In these days of factory made lin ens it is especially essential that the goods should be carefully laundered. The fiber of linen is easily cracked when it is in ti frozen state, and for this reason it is much wiser to dry it in' the house during the cold weather. Old fashioned linen such as our great-grandmothers wove could be easily hung outdoors in winter and allowed to bleach in the frost as well as in tho dew, but when the fiber has been weakened by the use of bleachers it is impossible that it should wear like the old time linens.

A UNIQUE BIBLE. One of th? Art Treasures of tho Cor? grosolonal Library. Perhaps tho most beautiful rel ume among the 500,000 in the Con gressional library at Washington is a Bible which was transcribed by a monk in tho sixteenth century. It could not be matched today in the beet printing office in the world. The parchment is in perfect preser vation. Every ono of its 1,000 pages is a study. The general lettering is in German text, each lotter perfect and every ono of them in coal black ink, without a scratch or blot from lid to. lid. At the beginning of each chapter j tho first letter is very large, usually two or three inches long, and is brightly illuminated in bluo or red ink. Within each of theso initials there is drawn the figure of some saint, or some incident of Avhich tho following chapter tells is illustrated. There are two columns on a page, and nowhere is traceable tho slight est irregularity of lino, space or for mation of tho letters. Even under a magnifying glass they seem flaw less. Tho precious volumo is kept under a glass case, which ia some times lifted to show that all the pages aro as perfect as tho two which Ho open. A legend relates that a young man who had sinned deeply became a monk and resolved to do penance for his misdeeds. Ho determined to copy tho Bible, that ho might learn everv letter of tho divino commands he had violated. Every day for years ho patiently pursued his task. Each letter was wrought with rev erence and love, and tho penitent soul found ita only companionship in tho saintly faces which were por trayed on these pages. Sanitation In the Middle Ages. The Greeks and Homans paid spe cial attention to the physical culture of their youth, to public water sup plies and baths, and Athens and Borne were provided with sewers early in their nistory. During the middle ages sanitation received a decided check, and this was tho most insanitary period in history. Most European towns were built compactly and surrounded by walls. Tho streets were narrow and winding, and light and air were ex cluded. Tho accumulation of filth was frightful. Stables and houses were close neighbors. Tho dead wero buried within tho churchyards or in the churches. Wells were fed with polluted water. All conditions were favorable for the spread of infectious diseases, and in tho fourteenth century alone tho oriental or bubonic plague, the black death of recent historians, car ried off a fourth of tho population of Europe. The birth rate was much less than the death rate normally. The cities had to be continually re populated from the country. The Angcl3 Came Too Readily. A Georgia darky went out to an old field to "seek and pray." It was dusk, and ne knelt down and put up a long petition that tho angels would come and minister unto him. Presently he heard a napping of wings behind him, and in a second he was making race horse time on the home road, where he jumped L co bed and covered his head. Suddenly thero was a loud knock ing at the door, and his startled wife cried: "John, git up dar, fer do Lawd sake ! De angels you been seokin' is come fer youl" "Le'm stay dar/' was the trem bling answer. "Tell 'em thoo' de keyhole dat I ain't got no wing ter fly wid, en I too heavy ter tote I" '?

Organ and ehtild Bo Treated Carefully. Tho human, car ia a much moro delicate organ than moat people suppose. It ia extremely dangerous to interfere with it by use of ear picks or any of the various instru ments used for the puxpose of clean ing it from wax. The wax is a nat ural secretion, and unless the car becomes diseased it does not accu mulate any facter than is. necessary to protect the passage from tho en trance of insects and various par- j ticlcs which might otherwiso be forced in and tend to intcrfero per manently with tho hearing. Thc greatest caro is necessary in washing thc ears of littlo children. They Ehould be washed outside, but cn tho inside only so far as the fin ger wrapped in a soft towel will go. Tho practice of forcing a hairpin or any other hard instrument into tho ear passage is fraught with danger of injuring tho membrane, causing permanent deafness. Earache is a malady of childhood and causes most distressing pain. The simplest remedy for it is to tako a littlo cot ton dipped in warm sweet oil and put it in tho ear passage. A danger that may arise from do ing so simple a thing as this is that minuto particles of tho cotton may be left in the ear. To prevent this some physicians advise making a little wad of tho cotton and wrap ping it in tho finest and thinnest linen cambric that can be found and dipping this in warm sweet oil. In case of intenso pain a few drops of hot laudanum or camphor may bo used with tho oiL When foreign bodies get into tho oar, they should be removed by syringing them out with warm wa ter. To attempt to remove anything from the ear passage by forcing an instrument in is a rash thing for any one except on aurist to under take. The best medical practition ers refuse to treat affections of tho ear or eye, but send their patients to specialists. Christmas Card Evolution. The Christin as cord dates back to 1842, in which year the idea of such a device occurred to Sir Henry Cole, who employed the famous artist, J. C. Horsley, to make tho design for him. Sir Henry gavo his idea and design to a London publisher, who printed and sold about a thousand cards. They were Hthographed and then colored by hand. Such was the small beginning of what is now an immense business. Every Christ mas cards were put on the market, but they did not seem to bo popular until 1862, when they came sudden ly into favor in England and soon began to bo used to a considerable extent on' this side of tho water. It was Borne years, however, before tho Christmas card achieved in tho TJnited States the great popularity which it now enjoys. The first Christmas cards WCEO simple af fairs, those of the early sixties be ing mostly plain cards bearing the words "Merry Christmas" or ''Hap py New Year" only. They soon be gan to grow in ornateness, however, and finally arrived at their present state. _ A Veteran Danseuse. Probably the professional life of no class is so short as that of the ladies who dance for our delight in the season of pantomime, and none nowadays can bo said to dance through two generations. What a surprise tho present public would experience at such an announce ment as appeared in tho London Weekly Journal of Jan. 26, 1723; that a veteran danseuse, aged sev enty-one, would on a certain dato perform a series of dances. Tho cel ebrated Peggy Fry or, therein adver tised, hod publicly danced in the early years of tho reign of Charles H. and made her final appearance in tho time of Qeergo li. Her dancing in her seventy-second year drew crowds to the Now theater in thc Haymarket in 1723, but tho chaim was probably tho novelty rather than the excellence of her performance. A Clavar Retort. An old lady brought up as a wit ness before a bench of magistrates when asked to toko off her bonnet refused to do so, saying, "There's no law compelling a woman to take off her bonnet." "Oh," said ono of thc magistrates, "you know tho law, do you? Perhaps you would like to come up and sit here and teach us V "No, I thank you, sir," replied the old lady; "there oro old women enough there already." Accommodating. lhere is a point to this 6tory: A burglar whose night entry into the parsonage awakened tho sleeping pastor said to his helpless victim: "If you stir, you're a dead man !

Japanese Paint Brushes. Tho Japanese artist has made a most careful study, of how to convey truths in tho most pleasurable way -how to make his lines most beau tiful, as though a speaker would uso but words of most exquisite sound. To do this he has cultivated his "touch" until it is but mockery to compare it with that of his Euro ?>ean brother. Ile has learned to ?andle his brush with a directness and prc ision which are a thing of wonder, and he lias studied with a patience beyond compare thc possi bilities of each particular kind of brush. He knows, for instance, that one kind of brush may be used to express a bamboo stem and that an other brash will bc less efficacious. He knows how to fill each particular part of that brush with a certain amount of color or of water so that a single movement of the hand over the paper will paint the stem, its light and shade, its peculiar char acteristics, complete. And to tho perfecting of that single movement of his Land over tho paper ho and his ancestors have given years of Btudy.-Independent. - In a recent trial of the Frenoh submarine bout Marvel it went 350 miles under water, but the close con finement and want of fresh air com pletely unnerved the men.
