THE THING THAT FEW KNOW.
" How shall a man propose in order
to bo successful in his suit?'' repeated
one of our most intelligent society la
dies, whose silver locks only serve to
enhance the beauty of her still youth
ful face, "In my opinion, though all
men know well enough how to ' make
love, there is not one in a thousand
who knows how to propose. Jly hus
band spent six months protesting and
convincing me of his love, which, by
the wny, 1 was well aware from tho
first, witliout once asking mo the 1m
portunt question, 'Will you marry me?
and finally one day said to me, with a
disheartened air, You are like all the
rest, a perfect enigma. I have spent
months trying to win you, and I do not
know that I have made any impression
upon you ; you are as hard to unravel
as the scarf you wear around your

most innocent way, 'why, 'tis no diill
cult task to unravel il, if you only get
hold of the right string.' lie saw the
point, took hold of the right string,
and" "His arm took the place of the
Bcarf?" "Wall, neither of us have
ever regretted it."
ON HIS KNEES.
One lady, tho wife of a learned
Judge, said: "'Tis eighteen years
since that dear man made a fool of
me. and after so great a lapse of time
you cannot expect me to remember
how he did it, . I'll vow he went down
on his knees, though you wouldn't
think it to look at his rotund propor
tions. And I va? silly enough to be
lieve every word he said, and when
he declared solemnly that he would
shoot himself if I did not marry him
of course I consented, just to save his
life ; but I'll not be so silly another
time if he only gives me the chance "
"Don't believe a word of that,"
chimed in the judge from behind his
paper. " I was actually compelled to
ask her to marry me to get rid of the
trouble of taking her or some other
gi.l around ; I saw she was in love
with me, and thought she would do as
well as any other. Now, that sums
up the whole history of this case."
VIGOROUS COURTSHIP.
A bright-eyed girl, who is a skillful
angler lor hearts, thinks a young man,
to be su ccessful, should propose after
a very short acquaintance, take the
girl by storm, as it were, while Bhe is
pleased with a new beau, and before
she has time to tire of him, then fol
low the proposal up with a vigorous
courtship, lots of flowers andbon bons,
drivesl theatre parties, etc., and, if she
' consents, insist upon a short engage
ment by all means.
' . UNEXPECTED VOWS.
Another well-known blonde beauty,
who has created sad havoc, and hod
much experience in this line, says the
only successful way is to propose when
least expected. Allow no time for
consideration, and then insist that the
acceptance must be "now or never."
She feels sure that is the only way that
she will. ever be captured, but she
thinks few men are bold enough to try
that game.
lover's bores.
One well-known belle and beauty
says that " she has had bo many make
love to her that she hardly knows
what is the best and most successful
method. She was more occupied in
studying how to prevent an approach
to the subjQ3t than in facilitating it.
Beaux were all lovely until they be
came lovers, then they became bores,
for they moved, thought and talked
constantly of themselves and their
happiness, while she wished to be
thinking of herself and her own hap
piness. Marriage is quite another
thing, is quite easily settied when one
finds a suitable partner.
AROUND THE WAIST.
A married lady, in whose household
the little god of love certainly made
Lis abmle, says the only successful
proposil on of which she knows any
thing was made without a word being
spoken: "John ana 1 sat looking in
the lire a long time, without Baying
anything, when all at once he put his
arm around me, drew me to him and
Ki3snine. wnen latner came in a
moment later he said: 'Major, I'm
going to steal your daughter. '.'
WILY WIDOWERS.
A dark-eyed girl, with a tangle of
soft Drown hair shading her brow, says
"if a fellow is desperately in love with
a girl, and persistent in his efforts to
win her, he is sure to gain his suit
Widowers understand this point, and
know exactly how to make love and
propose, and you will observe they are
always successful." biie knows one
case where a widower went in and
hung up his hat, announcing his inten
tion of remaining until he was ac
eept d, and the girl had to marry him
to get rid of him. A wl lower beau
makes her nervous about the result,
MARRYIXO IN HASTE.
" The quickest courtship on record,1
said one old resident, "was that of Dr,
2Sic'. McDowell, who, driving alonr
the street in his buggy one day, saw a
beautiful girl standing at the. window.
Ho immediately stopped and hitched
his horse, lang the bell, inquired the
lady's name, was ushered into the par

wished to marry her at once.' Noth

actually in the presence of the cele

When he returned they were quietly

no "parlor" beau.
A society girl, who evidently has a
heal for business as well as beaux,
savs : "No parlor beau ' need ever
propose with any hope of bucpcss, for
after a girl is compelled to bend ner
whole energies to the task of enter
taining him 'quietly at home' for six
months she would be appalled at the
proposition to spend the balance of her
life ' quietly at homo.' " Mie explains
that a "parlor beau" is that selfish,
egotistical individual who, being a
man, has as much vancv and nhange
as he wants, and thinks himself sulli
ciently interesting to entertain a girl
without any assistance in the way or
theatres, parties and drives, but leaves
the other fellows to amuse her in that
way. St. Louis I'ost-Dispatch.
Romance of a Foundling.
A Paris letter says: Tho latest bit
of sensational news recorded by the
Parisian newspapers concerns a found
ing. Everybody is asking wno leu
that smiling infant where the head
cook of the Marquise da Tamisier
found it. The noble lady had gone to
a dinner party, so that the cook had
his evening to himself, and took ad
vantage of it to smoke a post-prandial
cigar in the leafy solitudes near the
ike in the liolougne wood, .suddenly,
while wandering along the Alee des
Acacias, he heard a noise. Drawing
from hi9 pocket a long knife, he
plunged into the leafy solitude,
regardless of consequences. The lur-
ther he penetrated the louder
was heard the noise; he passed
on, and nnaiiy, m one or me
thickest of the thickets, at about 100
yards from the Chinese pavilion, he
came upon the vocalist, and the knite
dropped from bis manly grasp as he
perceived in a cradle covered with
costly lace, the smiling cherub. How
he took in all the details at first sight,
without the aid of a lantern, and there
being no gas turned on in the neigh
boring Chinese pavilion. I cannot tell,
but it seems that he did, lor he de
clares that the creature smiled upon
him with confiding sweetness. His
heart was quite overwhelmed with joy
as he picked up the baby, but what
must have been his feelings when he
afterward opened and read the con
tents of a sealed envelope lying be
neath the pillow. " Whoever you may
be that finds this child," said the let
ter, " bring it up tenderly, and in the
path-- of duty, and not only will
you be rewarded by your conscience,
but practically. iNever will 1 aban

you as you watch over her, and

God and men permit, I will reveal my
identity; meanwhile, to cover your
expenses, I leave under the lace of her
cradle a package of bank notes to the
value of 15.0J0 francs." Upon this
Mine, de Tamisier's head cook went
homo, carrying the child with him; a
nurse was found, and the little waif
was then and there adopted, with the
authorization of the magistrate round
the corner, to whom the touching
story was related. Is the tale true r"
That I cannot say, at least so far as
regards what may happen in the
way of future remittances; but one
thing is certain, a deserted baby was

baby was found 15,000 francs, where

would be willing to pay $3,000 for the

his eloquence to his father's wood-pile.
As if there was anything to be ashamed
of in this sort or practice, or a man
could be perfect in any gift without
exercising it. Henry M. Brackenbride,
in his very interesting " Kecollections,"
mentions the fact that when he first

and succeeding years, it was his cus

next day, he delivered in court as im

In olden times it was thought that evil spirits came in through cracks
and keyholes. The generally approved way to keep them out was to plug
up the keyholes and stop the cracks with cotton. Notwithstanding these
preventive measures, the evil things had their own way and often came in

some unsuspected source and unguarded direction.
We cannot always keep malaria out, but we can give" it battle and
drive its effects from our systems. If Brown's Iron Bitters is taken in
