Among the Maori sometimes in the whare matoro (the wooing house), a building in which the young of both sexes assembled . for play, songs, dances, etc, there would . be at stated times a meeting. When the fires burned low, a girl would stand up in the dark and say, "I love So-and-so; I want him for my husband." If he coughed (sign of assent) or said "yes," it was well; if only dead silence, she covered her head with her robe and was ashamed. This was not often, as she generally had managed to ascertain (either by her own inquiry or by ending a girl friend) if the proposal was acceptable. On the other hand, sometimes a mother would attend and say, "I want So-and-so for my son." If not acceptable, there was generally mocking, and she was told to let tbe young people have their house (the woo ing house) to themselves. Edward Tregear in Popular Science Monthly.

He then began to rnn around a haystack in the field, and the bull pursued him; but, in making the short circles around the stack, Lincoln was the faster, and instead of the bull catching him he caught the bull and grabbed him by the tail.

In discussing the part that women have taken in public affairs within the past few years, a gentleman recently objected on the ground of t heir lack of experience. He did not explain how experience was to be had, except by actual work in the field, what ever and wherever it may be. When tbe untrained girl starts out to find employment, she knows very little. It is rare thing that she has been taught or has tne opportunity or learning the require ments of her chosen calling in her own home. If she intends to be a stenographer or bookkeeper, she goes to a business col lege. If she wishes to be a teacher, she goes to school and thn completes her course at some university or normal school. But even then she admits that she has acquired the theory only, and that theory and prac tice differ most amazingly and unexpect- euiy. To Obviate this difficult v there are in all the best institutions for the training of teacners inc last instruction given what is called a training school. Here the wom an who has mastered arithmetic and alge bra, science and literature, must learn how to instruct and discipline. Were she to go on acquiring tneones lor 30 years and fail to apply them she would probably be a total failure. Knowledge that falls short of ap plication is productive or uttle good. Chi cago inter ocean. An Embassador's Privileges. Hitherto, except on special occasiona, Great Britain has only been represented by embassadors in six European realms the empires of Austria, Turkey, Russia and uermany, the kingdom of Italy and in- penal, royal and republican France. Not a quarter of a century ago there were only four British embassies abroad, although the United Kingdom was of course diplo matically represented at every foreign court. It was not until the unification and consolidation of Germany had been com pleted by William I of Prussia that our legation in Berlin became an embassy. The achievement of Italian unity nnder Victor Emmanuel suggested andobtained a similar complimentary acknowledgment on the part of our gracious sovereign. It is unquestionably a judicious and pop ular "new departure" to emphasize, so to speak, the amicable nature of the relations happily obtaining between the two great EngliKh speaking nations by placing our omaai representation In tbe capital of the Union upon tbe highest attainable footing oi aipioraatic uigmty and distinction. An embassador, as the personal representative of his own sovereign, has the right of ac cess to the monarch or chief of the state to whom he is accredited a privilege which cannot be claimed by, though it is fre quently accorded to, a minister plenipo tentiary or envoy extraordinary.

She generally does this when the minister ia calling or when yonr prospective moth er-in-law is eagerly drinking in the sto ry of your youthful crime. Then the friend of your youth goes on and enumerates forgotten love affairs, recalls your successive flirtations and conveys to the listeners the impression that yon were a very gay person indeed. She feels free because of her position to criticise your clothes, your manner. yonr fiance and yonr looks. For the same reason she cousidora herself at lib erty to borrow any of your possessions, from a handkerchief to the contents of your purse. And when she has done all these things she sits down and senti mentalizes about the past and makes yon agree that soch halcyon days will never come again. New York World. A Remarkable Dos;. The following peculiar incident ia told by a Baltimore man as occurring to his fox terrier: "One day, while the cellar door was open, the dog descended in search of rats at about 9 o'clock. At 9:30 the dog was searched for and thought lost No further notice was taken in the matter until tbe next morn ing at 1 o'clock, when I was attracted by a dog yelling. After a careful search which revealed only a by the wall, I noticed the dog's noso protruding through an inch board at the top window of the cellar looking into the yard. I went immedi ately up stairs and removed five bricks from the pavement and pulled the dog out. After a careful inspection I dis covered ho had dug nnder the founda tion of the housu in tho sand, which bad caved in on him. Finding no other means of escape, he dng np to the sur face, a distance of six foet, and on ar riving at the brick surface, which had been recently paved, dug toward the window, a distance of three feet, and had nearly eaten through the board in his effortr to free himself.

In 1890 Mr. Butler was elected to the State Senate. At the late election the PoDolists through fusion with the Re- publicins were very successful, and Mr, Butler was elected by a large majority. A New l iubrella Maud. A funny incident of a drawing room meeting wns recently noticed. A grave looking gentleman, with an nnnsually tall hat, out' roil, and seeing no rack in tho hall placed his hat on tho floor just behind tho door. Pretty soon another grave man entered with a largo, drip ping ombre) la, nnd peering anxiously for the usual receptacle saw in tbe gloom the hat resting on the floor. His eyesight was probably poor, for he mis took it for one of the new umbrella holderp, and in it ho deposited his drip ping umbrella. This was an example for those who followed, and in a short time the solemn looking hat was stanch ly holding a dozen umbrellas. At tbe end tf the meeting tho water in the hat was an inch in depth. London Tit-Bits. An Edison Invention Idle, Ten yeors ago Mr. Edison applied for patent in bis own country for a new method of generating electricity, which is now made public. It consists of a furnace on which is placed an iron pot or crucible, through tho closed cover of which a stout rod of carbon passes down to near the bottom of tho crucible, where it is eurronuded by dry metallic oxides or other compounds capable of attacking carbon nnder heat and In rarefied air. The closed crucible is connected with an exhaust fan by an exhaust pipe. Thin invention seems to have been abandoned by Edison. At all events, it has not as yet come into practical use.
