AN ABRUPT PROPOSAL ; Ab»r,nethy Wu Too Busy For Romans* and Courtship, The reported fashion of the famous Dr. Abernetby's courtship and mar riage Is very characteristic. It Is told that while attending a lady for several weeks he observed those admirable | qualifications in her daughter which I be truly esteemed to render the mar- j I ried state happy. Accordingly ou a Saturday, taking leave of his patient, he addressed her to the following pur- ' | porj: "You are so well that I ueed not J j see you after M'onday next, when 1 j ; shall come and pay you a farewell vis- I it. But in the meantime 1 wish you ! and your daughter to seriously consid er the proposal 1 am about to make. I It Is abrupt and unceremonious. I am aware, but the excessive occupation of : my time by my professional duties at '■ I fords t|ie no leisure to accomplish j ' what 1 desire by (he more ordinary : course of attention and solicitation, j ; My annual recetpts amount to £ , ! and I can settle i OD my wife. My j character is generally known to the j public, so that you may readily ascer ! ralu what it ts l have seen in yout (laughter a tender and affectionate i child, an assiduous and careful nurse 1 and a gentle and ladylike member of a family. Such a person must be all j that a husband could covet, and 1 of fer my hand and fortune for her ac | ceptance. on Monday when I call I I shall expect your determination, for 1 | really have not time for the routine of I courtship." | In this manner the lady was wooed : and v, on, and it may be added the un ion was felicitous in every respect.— i Westminster Gazette. BLOODTHIRSTY FERRETS. They Kill Not For Food, but For the More Sake of Slaughtar. The ferret is one of the most pecu- ! liar members of the animal kingdom | It belongs also to an extraordinary family, that of the weasels A branch I j of this family Is called the polecats j the European representative of our ! skunks, and the ferret is a species of polecat, generally an albino, yellowish • white in color, with pink eyes. To bunt and kill mice, rats, rabbits , and other small animals Is the ferret's delight It Is coldly methodical in its murderous pursuits, and. while it serves its master well, never tiring lu the chase and never shrinking from an 1 ; attack, it exhibits no trace of affection ur attachment toward its trainers, as nobler animals do. The ferret is a typical killer and blood shedder. It has ■ uo friends and apparently wants none, i i It cannot be trusted and will some times attack small children. t It likes to kill not for the sake of j food, hut for the sake of billing. The < mere act of taking the life of another I iTeature .Is a pleasure to it How It ! got this bloodthirsty strain In its na- I ture no one cau tell. Its appetite for slaughter serves well In ridding our I j bouses of rata and mice, but of what use is it to the ferret to kill those crea | 1 lures'/ Its nature is that of a demon, i ind wherever It sees the life blood j | beating at a throat its brutal instinct urges it to silt the throat with its keen teeth and let the life throb outl—New York Journal.
