DITIDINO WOOD LETT OTKM.
A very ntrange custom prevailed with
both tho Greeks and tho Romans of the
guests carrying away with them the
viands that remained uneaten. Martial
has an extremely witty epigram on this;
but the drollest account of it 'is in the
“ Symposium ’’ of Lucian. Hie party
consisted of learned and dignified phi
losophers whom, of course, the author
intends to satirize. Up to a certain
point the remnants were fairly divided,
but unfortunately one chicken, more
plump than the rest, attracted the at
tention of one of the party who had no
just claim to it. The proper owner
would not let it go, so they both tugged
at it; a general tnmult enaufd, and the
gnests grasped the birds by the legs
and hit each other in tMi face with them,
pulled beards, shouted, and pelted with
cups. That such scenes really took
place at the dinners given to Roman
clients is seriously affirmed by Jnvenal
(v. 26), and in one of the satino plays of
AW-hyhu (“Tbo Oetotogi*), a gnsot
< m plains that a vessel was broken over
his bead, ” by no means so fragrant as

THE PHILOSOPHY OP HUGGINO.
' Ir.
Too much care cannot be exercised in
pntting arms around Hie young girls of
to-day, and we would wish to impress
this fact upon the minds of the young
men who are just coming upon the stage
of action. Of course men along in years
do not need advice. The boys are apt
to pnt more force in the right arm than
they are awere of in such cases, 100 per
cent, more than they would be apt to do
in sawing wood or carrying up a Seattle
of coal. They should bear in mind that
girla are too valuable to be used for de
veloping the muscles as you would a
gymnasium. You don’t have to squeeze
s girl till her liver is forced from its nor
mal position, and she chokes up ami
catches her brewth, to show that yon
love her. A gentle squeeze of Hie hand,
the stealing of the arm around her waist
when ahe is not looking, and the least
pressure upon her belt is all the law re
quires. She can tell by your face wheth
er you love her, as you ait Hues ia the
twilight 'looking into the guiding star
eyee, as well es though jja grabbed her
as you would a sack of wheat and hung
on like a dog to a root. Don't make
a barrel hoop ef yourself, and try to " gg’g » httle awk’ard

COLD mu THEE AND HEALTH.
In a report as Registrar of Providence,
Dr. Snow remarks : “There is a popu
lar error, which we often hear spoken of
in the winter eeroon, that clear, cold
weather is favorabl* to the public health.

The cap was put fa place, end, armed
with this Char dastroyer, the boy went
forth in search of adventure*. Upon the
roof of as adjoining house were a flock of
doves, and Sam rested his gun over the
fence, pointed the muasle in their direr
tiou, and, saying to himself, “They
won’t know what hit 'em," shut both
eyee and palled the trigger.
For about half a minute that neigh
borhood was so filled with festhen,
noise, chunks of doves' meat, pieces of
wood, boys’ yells and women’s shrieks
that Hie people thought there had been
a collision on the circus train and the
elephant was taking out an old grudge
on the lions. Sam laid flat on his back,
with the gun a rod behind him and still
shivering from the concussion. Half of
Sam’s face was black and blue, and he
didn’t dare to get up until he was sore
the gun hsd got all shot off, and even
then he wasn’t certain that more than
half the load had gone out. And those

alyzed, and the top of that house looked
as if a ahell had burst in the attic and
blown a feather bed with a servant girl
up through the roof. There wasn’t
enough left of the doves to distingoish a
fan-tail from a bull-terrier, and the peo
ple in the neighborhood are preparing
to move away unless Sam ia sent into
the country. —Derrick.

The evening shades had gathered, and
it wa* almost dark when Noes Bryson
left Farmer Dutton's to return home.
Her path lay through a lonely wood,
and she felt a little nervous as aha har
ried along, starting now and then as an
occasional rustle broke the stillness.
She had completed nearly half the way,
and was wishing the other half safely
finished, when a sound of harried and,
as she imagined, stealthy steps, ap
proaching the path a little in advance,
and as if from one side, arrested her at
tention.
Th<j,,next moment a man’s form
blocked the way. Nora would have

her, and she stood trembling and
speechless.

“ Have you spoken to Nora ?’ he in
quired.
“I have.” *
“ And what’s bar answer ?”
“A consent, subject to

The farmer drew a long breath and
looked grave.
“Marryin’s a serious business,” lie
remarked. “ NoW, you bein’ only a
hired band, is it goin’ too far to ask
how you expect to support a wife ? "
“ I have no misgiving* on that score,”
replied the young man, with what the
farmer thought aa air of over-confi
