ABOUT ASI Unpleasant Qui I'orothy l>ix in New If thc average wan would tell the I truth he would confess that thc most unpleasant ijuarter of an hour that he ever spent was that io which he laced a cold and unromantic father and asked him for his daughter's hand. Of course, if there were extenuating circumstances in the way of money or position-if he could oller thc girl au tomobiles and a cottage at Newport thc situation was robbed of most of its terrors, and the parental blessing a foregone conclusion. If, however, he was an impecunious youth, with nothing to give his wife hut the love of his heart and the work of his I hands, he would sooner have; faced ;i Gatling gun than the old man's stern inquiry: "Young man, can you sup port my daughter in the style in which ? nbc has been accustomed to li'-- ?" A father always thinks that it is hi 1 first duty to ask that monotonous <|UCs tion, and the majority of them feel that they should move heaven and j earth to keep their daughters from marrying if thc young man says "no." It'tj reasonable, too, from their point of view, and a hard-headed old busi ness man isn't going to take any young man to support, not if he knows it. Moreover, he considers that a girl is simply throwing herself away to marry a fellow whose entire salary wouldn't much more than pay for her silk petticoats, and that he is just as much bound to keep her from doing it as he would bc to prevent her from committing suicide in any other way. So he pooh-poohs the very sug gestion so scornfully that the young man, hurt and insulted at the intima tion that he is a fortune hunter, and that he is asking too much of a sacri fice of tho woman he wants to marry, has to be cither exceptionally tena cious of purpose, or excessively in love, if ho doesn't abandon his suit right then and there. Many a rich old maid owes her lonely life and her loss of a good husband to her father's determination that she should not marry any man who wasn't standing ready to offer her just as many frills as she was used to having. Of course, a father is doing no more than his duty and is strictly within his rights when he tries to protect his daughter from grinding poverty, hut when he goes further than that, and objects to a worthy man simply be cause he can't offer a girl all the lux uries that she has been accustomed to -the trips abroad, the summers at the Bea, the opera box and the house on a fashionable street -he is going too far. He is demanding that the young man start where he is leaving off. It has taken him many years of hard work to be able to afford his family thc luxury in whioh they live now, and it is absurd to expent any young man to have achieved that much suooesB. If Jack hau a bank acoount to match Maud's father's, he is bound to have inherited it for himself. Sim ply looking at thc matter from a busi ness point of view and with reference to Maud's bread and butter, it is a strange thing that it doesn't oftener strike fathers that the young mau who has suooesBsfuliy held the same place lb the office or store for four or five years, and saved up a thousand or two dollars while "clerking it," isn't s thousand times better match for any girl then the youth who never earned a dollar in his life, who neither knows how to make money nor save it, and whose one star performance and claim to recognition oonsists in having been born Che son of a rioh man. It is one of tho queerest things on earth why so many American parents Consumption The only kind of consump tion to fear is " neglected consumption." People are learning that con sumption is a curable disease. It is neglected consumption that is so often incurable. At the faintest suspicion of consumption get a Dottie of Scott's Emulsion and begin regular doses. The use of Scott's Emulsion at once, has, in thousands of cases, tur. ed the balance in favor of health. Neglected consumption does not exist where Scott's Emul sion is. Prompt use of Scott's Emul sion checks the disease while it can be checked. Send for free sample. SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemist* 1 ?oe-4tj Pearl Street, Nev York. Soe. and fi oe. all drflj(gbta? ---. It'll - a I ING PAPA. ir ter of an 1^1 our ( >rleaus 1'ieayune. seem to have such a horror of their children over being brought into ac tual, contact with the practical side of life. Ninety-nine times nut of a hun dred Maud's wealthy lather begun life as a poor hoy. H<- clerked fur some body ; he saved up a little money and got an interest in a business for him self; bc married the girl beloved, and they wen: to housekeeping in an hum ble cottage in a back street, where his wife helped him to economize and work, and they were happy as happy could be. it was an experience out of which they brought nothing but good, but the very idea that Maud should go through it is appalling to Maud's father, who sets up a kind of diamond sunburst and opera box standard fur her suitors, and expects them to eith er put up or ?but up. So be turns a cold and unfriendly ? ye on J ick, who modestly tills him j that be has a good situation, with a J chance of being taken into the firm io a year or two, and sternly remarks I that when he married bc was able te I support his wife iu the style in which she had been accustomed to live, ile forgets that he took his bride to a cot tage, while he expects Jack to install Maud in a fine mansion. He forgets that his wife, in their early days, did J her own cooking, and made her own I frooks, while he demands that Maud's I husband shall provide her with a re tinue of servants and millinery from I l'aris. It is not to bc denied that the pa rental attitude towards poor Jack is pretty hard ou Maud, and enormously increases her chances of being an old I maid. If she is not to marry, except in defiance of her family, any man J who can't provide her with all the luxuries to which she has been accus - I tomcd, it narrows down her chances to a few gilded youths who have been fortunate enough to inherit money, and, alas, there is never enough of these in any community to go around. Moreover, such is the inconsistency of I fortune it frequently happens that I Maud, who bestowed her hand on I j youug Dives in her youth, because he j ? could, give her ruth* SB and champagne J ! to which she was accustomed, finds by I ! middle life that he is quite unable to I give her plain bread and butter, while j I Jack has reached that pith of success j in business that he could feed his j family on humming birds' tongues I and peacock brains, if they happened to relish these dainties. This is not I a phase of the subject that Maud's I father Considers very often, but it I happens so frequently that the choice j in marrying a rich young man or a I poor, hard-working young man almost reduces itself to fae question of wheth- j er you would rather bo well off while j you wero young or have plenty and j comfort for middle lifo and old age, and before Jaok is sect about his I business it is juntas well to-try to solvo this conundrum. 1 Maud's father says, and truly, that j he has nothing but her happiness at j heart. He believes that she will be perfectly miserable, living in less stylo, with fewer clothes and plainer j surroundings than she is accustomed to. That depend ; on Maud. If she j is the kind of girl whoso heart is cut on the bias and frilled in the middle, and ?hose tout will go to Paris when she dies, she will never be indiscreet enough to fall in love with a man who isn't Btriotly eligible from a worldly point of view. She is just as incapa ble of adoring a man without a trig bank account as she would be of fall ing in love with aman without a nose. But the girl whose true heart heats just as faithfully and warm under vel vet as it would under linscy wolsey, whose eyes, unblinded by wealth and fashion, are keen to see the man and not tho position, and who iswhiing to exohange a few of the trappings that money oan buy for good, honest love and respect, knows what she is about when she picks out her own particu lar Jaok and refers him to papa. And papa makes the mistake nf his life if he refuses ?his blessing for no other reason than beoause the suitor oan't support Maud in the style in which she is accustomed to live. There is, also, the other point of: view, that if Maud's father has raised her with such>luxurious tastes that she osnnot be happy on the inoome that au ordinarily suooessful man can offer her, it ?is nothing but common fairness for her fond, foolish 'parent to provide her with a dowry -that will offset her demand for frills. That is one way around the question, and certainly it ?is quite as just as to ex pect tho young man to bo able to hu mor the .unreasonable extravagance and wastefulness in which the daugh ters of so many'rich parents are rear ed. ?s it is, thetfaversge worthy young maa is apt to fight shy of the rich girl.

Little Willie's teacher had been giving the children daily talks on nat ural history, each day taking up sonic animal and telling all she knew about it. UQ thc day in question she talked about rabbitri. Willie had a rabbit of his own, and that afternoon when he got home he took it out of its hutch. Molding it by the ears at arm's length in front of him, and assuming the manner of the pedagogue, he ques tioned, sternly : "Seven times seven No response from thc rabbit. ".Six times i-ix ?" he demanded, shaking the rabbit roughly. Still no response. "Now, I'll give you an easy one. Five times live ?" And still the rabbit stared without response. Willie threw him down in disgust. "I knew thal old teacher was lying," said he. "She said rabbits was the greatest multipliers in the world." - Indianapolis News. M ? ^ His Honey Was (?one. A country newspaper man who is very fond of honey visited a neigh boring city recently, and at one of the hotels he was served with some deli cious honey. Ile enjoyed it so much that he told his wife all about it when he returned home, says Lippincott'e Magazine. ? On his next trip to the city she ac companied him. They visited the same hotel, and when the noon meal was being served he said to his wife that he hoped they had some more of that honey. It did not appear, how ever, and the newspaper man, there fore, beckoning to a waiter, said : "Say, Sambo, where is my honey?" He was almost paralyzed when that worthy grinned and replied : "She doan work here no more, boss. She done got a better job at the silk tani." The wife received a handsome new dress before they returned home, after making a solemn promise not to tell the story. She Settled Him. i "Mary," Baid a worthy mistress to her servant, "I ara sorry to have to complain again-the more HO as it is the only fault I have found in you but the frequent visits of that follower of yours are unbearable. You must put a stop to them." "1 am sure I'll do my best ma'am," responded Mary. "I know I've promised to do so before, but I will really try to settle him this week." In the middle of tho week Mary had her afternoon out, and her mis tress suggested that she would have an opportunity of "speaking her mind once for all" to the young man. Mary oame back radiant. "I've settled him this time, ma'am" she remarked. "I hope you did it gently. You did not insult bim?" "Insult him!" gasped Mary. "No, ma'am, that I didn't. I just married him this afternoon, an' I'm to leave here in a month's time!"* The Young Inquisitor. Former Governor Frank S. Black told this story, which is perhaps as good as any of its kind, while at the Manhattan one day last week, says, the New York Globe : "A neighbor of mine had a seven yeor-old BOD who, I think, would take' some beding as a plyer of questions. One evening a few weeks ago I was making a call at his father's house. The boy was present in the sitting room, and at intervals for a good part of the evening he interrupted his dad by asking embarrassing questions., "Finally the old fellow became tired of his son's many queries. " TU see that your mother puts you to bed before I get home in the fu ture,' he sternly informed the boy. !* 'But, pop,' retaliated the child, with a natv-al overflow of philosophy that was delicious, 'how can you see her put me to bed before yon gel home r "That was the last question for that evening." _ ojeara?* tain-th? ^^^^^^r Hatg ""^ i - When * woman has acted the very worst she knows how, there is scarcely any way to molify her indig nation except to make an humble -apology to her. - It't> ?s natural for a girl's shoe strings to keep coming untied when "?ho has on fancy open-work stockings as fur a man to speak with a careless familiarity of his rieh friends when I they are out of the country.

His Method of Killing Animals and Catching Fish. The traill of the jaguar are many, but they nearly all lead to a river, for water appears to bo more needful to the tiger than to any oth er of 111 cr cat family. And this is not thai Iii! actually drinks more, so far os I can learn, but rather be cause along the waterways he linds an easy and abundant food in the river hog, in the small deer that corine down tr? drink and in the fish that swim plentifully in all these streams. In the Kio dc la Piata, just off Buenos Ayres, is an i-land where at o: v time a number of jaguars lived and t lirivnl practically on thc fish they caught, for there was nothing else on the island, and no one ever heard of their visiting the mainland because o? its settlement and not on account of thc distance to shore, for the tiper is a strong, hold swimmer and minds no river ?d' South Amer ica, not thc widest, .if he wishes to reach the opposite bank, lie is a patient, unerring fisherman, watch ing for long periods from some van tage* point, which may be cither a fallen tree trunk extending into the stream or at the bank's edge, until a victim appears, when with a light ning blow he hurls thc fish out on to the bank or clutches it as it swims past. While thc swampy jungle and the water courses are his habitat, yet the jaguar will make incursions upon dry ground if cattle or horses or dogs or poultry offer and river food happens to he scarce or for the time being more diflicult to secure. I heard several trustworthy accounts of cattle and colts killed by the jaguar, though his ravages are not so frequent as once they were owing to his further inland habitat. His method of killing animals of this ?ize is literally to stalk them up wind, that no scent may reach the victim, and then to spring on their back, fastening teeth and claw J in ' the neck. With smaller animals the jaguar springs for the neck at once and appears to prefer the hind | quarters to the stomach, which is j left for the vultures that are omni- i present in the open country. The jaguar is a noisier animal than any other of the feline family, particularly at night, and roams tho jungle disdainful of lesser beasts in his manifest superiority. And he is without doubt absolute king of the South American forest. There is literally none to dispute his do- j main, none even worthy to do him homage, for ihe puma, which is fair ly plentiful, has as little the cour age of his convictions in South aa in North America.-Outing. ivan's Ad. "In Moscow,"' said a traveler, "1 | Baw a little child crying miserably one afternoon. Ile walked slowly down one of the principal streets, and his howls soon brought a big crowd ?around him.

Then, lifting np his voice, he shouted in a shrill treble: " 'I am lost.

There is a tale of a traveler in the lake district in England who, hear ing that a particular village was in winter almost entirely cut off from the rest of the country by snow, ask ed how they managed to get a doc tor if any one was taken ill.
