"I remember as a boy an amufllng apeclnien of this kind of man In Iowa. IIo wan a farmer and van aa notorious for his nmorotis entniiuli'inents na for his liiBenulty In fnrtt'.ng out ol them when marrlnito begun to loom near. It was nnld he had been cnnnKcd a dozen times, and though he left all his fiancees In the lurch ho never found any difficulty In gcttlnn a siiccessor. Ono day my father, who was his law yer, aHked him: 'Why don't you get mnrrled, John? it Isn't for want of opportunities, you know, and it's quite tlmo you thought of settling down.' " 'Well, sir,' John answered, 'It's this way: You see, I like coortlng well enough, but I can nlvver summon up pluck to go any further. To tell you the truth, I'm nfoitrd of getting tied for llfo to ono of 'em.' "If you have heard many breach of promise suits yon will havo observed that this wholesome drend of matri mony Is the cause of a good proportion of them, though all tho defeiulantg have not tho courage to suy so. "One client of mine had allowed mat. ters to proceed right to the eve of tho wedding day, when ho disappeared mysteriously and was not discovered for some months. The young lady promptly sued him for dnmnges for breach, nnd nt the hearing the reason for his conduct came out Ho admitted thnt he wns fond of the girl, but sun dry exhibitions of her temper nnd Jeal ousy which ho had witnessed had so Beared him Hint he simply hadn't tho courage to marry her. 'I meant to marry her right enough,' ho said, 'hut when it camo to tho point my courage failed me, nnd I thought it safer to bolt.' "In another enso In which a widow sued a widower for playing her false the defendant put lu a slngulnr plea. It seems that the widow's family strongly objected to tho match, nnd as pnssivo opposition was useless to prevent It one of tho sons, a stalwart young fellow, called on the middle aged wooer and told him thnt if he persisted In his suit he (the son) would give him such a thrashing' as would effectually euro him of any further sentiment. 'So what could I do?' tho defendant pathet ically asked. ' "The more one sees behind the scenes the more one realizes that there Is often a great deal to be said for the man who loves and runs away. One of my clients a few years ago found himself In an awkward quandary. He hnd engaged himself to three girls at different times and, having canceled his engagements with two, was on tho eve of marrying No.' 3. No sooner wns his Intention known than tho two Jilted Indies threat ened him with legal proceedings if he persisted In bis proposed marriage, and the favored lady In turn threatened a similar fate If ho didn't. "Here was a dilemma, for whatever he did would end unplensantly. How ever, like a prudent man, he decided to run tho smaller risk. He pacified his two former fiancees by canceling his engagement and prepared to face the music of tbe third lady. "The mother-in-law is often a fatal disturber of love's young dream. One breach of promiso defendant declared that he would willingly have married tho plaintiff only he couldn't stand her mother at any price, and tho pros pect of having his married liapplness disturbed by her Interference so scared him that he decided it was more pru dent to break off the engagement, whllo another frail lover actually stated In court that he was afraid to marry the plaintiff lest she should 'grow np like her mother,' whose- 'tongue and tem per' had shown him some of the leas desirable possibilities of married life. "One man whom I defended lust year seems to have had a constitutional droad of matrimony. He had been en gaged to the plaintiff no less than nine years. Four times the wedding day had been fixed, and as many tlincB it was adjourned by his wish., Finally he cried off altogether, and in court he declared thut, although he loved the girl, he felt be could never screw up the courage to marry her. When he tag asked the reason for his dlltideuce said that he had seen so much of the unhappy side of married life and the difference between wooing and wedding that he didn't feel equal to running the risk. "These are but a few from scores of similar cases which have come within my own knowledge. One man feared to face matrimony on account of his fiancee's extravagance, another quaint ly confessed a horror of his wife's cooking and domestic gifts generally,. it uura aeienaunt was arruia to wea because a distant relative of his lady love had died in an asylum, and so on.

The lantern of the east is as old as tlvlllzatlon. Its primary object Is to protect the flame from sudden drafts, beyond this Is the concentration of light for tho convenience of a reader nnd, lust and least, the regard for beau ty. The oldest form la a perforated ryllnder or. rectangular box. Of this type there are numberless varieties, old and new. The nmient ones which have been preserved are of Iron, copper and brass, nearly all simple In construction and lltilsh, but a few richly decorated. Occasionally one runs across lanterns liniile of silver or Ivory. These come from paliices or temples nnd lu most Instances are richly carved. Not In frequently the iH'iforiitlons are fitted with pieces of colored glass, rock crys tal, amethyst and garnet. In China and Japan the traveler's or street lantern Is a feature. This Is a sphere or ellipsoid ranging from six Inches to two and even three feet In (II 11 motor, made of oiled paper, cloth or silk. In Cathay this lantern Is used to show the rank of Its owner by the col oring or inscriptions on Its exterior. Tho humble citizen uses a small affair In white or red, the ottlcial of low rank a sphere a foot In diameter hanging In front of his sednn chair, while the high mniiiliiiin employs a huge lantern, re splendent with his titles In colors, car ried by an nbleboilled cooly who walks a yard In advance. It Is in house lanterns that the great est variety Is found. Of these the gen eral typo Is a four, five, six, seven, eight or ten sided box, whose length Is usually twice Its width. Kmii side Is a pane of glass, plain, ground, frosted or decorated. From tho angles hang pendants of ninny sorts. Tho frnme work is usually of teak, but ebony, rosewood, mahogany and other woods are employed, often the sides of the lanterns are alternately wood and glass, the latter Ining covered with ground designs and tho former richly carved In relief or Inset with Ivorj'i moilier-of-penii or silver. I'poii ttie pendants the artificers put their hardest work.. Some nro made of colored bends, strung qnd mussed with fantastic hIiiix's and knots. Others are strings of little bells, which ring with every passing breeze. Lines of glittering tinted glass balls betray the origin of a favorite mode of decorating Christmas trees.

Constantinople at the time of Its greatest splendor as capital of the east ern empire had a population of about l.GOO.ooo. Babylon, whoso name has conie to be synonymous with dense population, never had over 1,200,000 Inhabitants tn Its palmiest days, so the archa-ologlsts declare, ' Athens, when she led the Greek states tn repelling the invasion of Xerxes, hnd only 30,000 Inhabitants, but Herodotus speaks of this number as If it was something to boast of. Home, the ui (stress of tho world, tho great city to which all roads led, "Itome the Eternal," did not exceed 2,000,000 In population.

Conceited, fanning and Intelligent and Wlthoat I'rar, The fisher marten deserves to be m,iirli better known than he generally Is, If only on account of his own good opinion of himself, his wonderful cun ning and shrewd Intelligence. One of the largest and hnuilsomest of the martens, ho has also nullity, strength and einliirnticn for any two of his kind put together. Measuring 11 1 int three feet III length, with a slim, vigorous body, the Usher will travel enormous distances In 11 single night, hounding lll.il.v !:; Into the air, with his nose turned up lu order to catch every wlillT of scent, on! wit ting other aiiliuals mid the cleverest trappers and milking himself at home wherever he happens to find himself. He generally chooses ns his hunting grounds the thickly covered hills and ridges where the hemlock and spruce grow lu nliunilnnce, but lie Is as much nt home on the tree tops as on the ground and can sleep ns soundly In n low hollow of 11 tree as on n branch of a tlr tree, whore he ill IIo stretched out In tlie sunshine like nny old cnt. As for fear, he does not know what It Is. He will not only face but ac tually kill a Canadian porcupine nnd does not even appear tn mi ml the quills which penetrate his body. Ho Is not pitt'tlculiiiiy fond of meeting an old hear with culm, but Is generally clever enough to steal her cubs while she goes off on some little expedition of her owu, while Instances have been related of the fishers In tho UoeUy moiiiilnlns even killing young grizzlies. As for man, be appears to laugh nt him nnd his designs for trapping wild minimis. He will pull 11 marten trap open anil take out the bait, whether alive or dead: be will tear a pine mar ten or mini; to pieces In no time and curry It off or drug the trap over some rough projection In order to spring It nnd make off more often than not without having received as much ns n scratch. But perhaps his cleverest trick, when he llai's 11 trapper Is following his tin II. Is to get behind the t nipper nnd follow his, so that while the uncon scious trapper Is walking after tho fisher the lishor Is keeping completely out of ilnnger by following tho trap per. Many a useless mile has tho trapper walked lu this milliner, und many good baits has he lost by tho very same shrewd, cunning nnliual ho Is trying to trace and catch. Colliers Weekly. , A l.uokr tin me at Chess. A story Is told of the Moorish piinco Abu! Hejex. who was thrown Into prison for sedition by his brother Mo hammed, king of Grnnnda. There bo remained for several years until tho king, fearing ho might escape, placed himself at the head of n fresh revolt and seined the crown, ordering one of his pasluis to see to Ills llu mediate exe cution. Abul Hejex was phiylngnt chess when the piislin came and bade him prepare for death. The prince naked for two hours' respite, wlilcli was re fused. After earnest entreaty he ob tained permission to finish his game. He was In no hurry about the moves, we arc told, und well for him he was not, for before 1111 hour hnd elapsed a messenger brought the news thnt Slo hniuiued had been struck dead by apo plexy, and Abul wns forthwith pro claimed king of Granada. It was in deed a small favor for the piislm to grant, but It altered the whole current of the king's career. . Work mid Leisure Should lie Muted. Work . Is good. No one seriously doubts this truth.

Ooldsiulth. OUR INSTINCT TO CHEW. It Manlfaate Itarlf In !nnrons and Carious War. Peeing thnt the maxillary apparatus of man has for long ages past been put to vigorous use. It Is not surprising that the need to exercise It should express Ityelf ns 11 powerful Instinct. This In stinct manifests Itself In mivsy and curious ways. Inning the early mouths of life tho natural function of feeding nt the breast provides the Infant's Jaws, tongue and Hps with nil the need ful exercise. This bottle feeding falls to do, nnd we frequently find bottle fed children seeking to satisfy the natural Instinct by sucking their thumbs, fin gers or any convenient object nt hand. The teclli are a provision for biting hard foods, but even before they nctu ally 11 p cii r we find the chll.i seeking to exercise his toothless gums oh nny linrd substance he can lay hold of, and there can be no doubt that exercise of tills kind tends to facilitate the erup tion of the teeth, n truth Indeed recog nized universally, whether by the prim itive mother who strings the tooth of some wild animal round tho neck of her Infant ur the up to date parent who provides her child with a bejewel ed Ivory or coral bauble. When the teeth have erupted, the masticatory Instinct finds aiming primi tive peoples abundant satisfaction In the chewing of the conrse, hard fissls which constitute their dietary; but among us moderns, subsisting, ns we do, mainly on soft foods, affording but little exercise for the masticatory ap paratus. It dis not find Its proper ex pression, and thus tends to die out. Nevertheless It dies a hard dentil and long continues to assert Itself. Witness the tendency of children to bite their pencils and penholders. I have known a child to gnaw through a bono pen holder much In the same way as a carnivorous 11 11 1 11 111 1 gnaws at n bone. This Instinct to chew for chewlng's sake iiiaiilfi-sts Itself all over the world. In our own country not only do chil dren bite pencils and penholders, but they will chew small pieces of India rubber for hours together. The prac tice of gum chewing, so common among our American cousins, evidently comes down from furoff times, for the primi tive Australians chew several kinds of gum. attributing to them nutrient qualities, nnd the Piitngonlans arc said to keep their teeth white and clean by chewing matrl, a gum which exudes from tho Incense bush.
