Thither, at tho appointed timo, hasten tho young men of tho coun tryside; thither come, 110 loss eager ly, but with decorous tardiness, tho maidens of tho place. Thcro aro dances and songs, gntnea and feast ing, but all else is but tho prcludo to tho great event, when chanco is made tho handmaid of love. At tho arrival of tho nropcr hour tho host ess gives n signal and withdraws into an apartment, accompanied by UlU lllljf UlU I1IUUU IU l"V " j.v....... nil tho girls. Tho lasses aro ranged upon long benches, where they pose, a tittering iihalanx of freshness nnd beauty, with naught in their smiling airabllity to Biiggest that a scratch on blooming cheek might roveal tho tartar. Tho hostess is supplied with long strip of broad elnth, and with this she straightway muflles each and every maiden. "She twists it deftly over and about tho head until hair nml features are hopelessly veiled;! she winds it about tho neck, tho shoulders, tho waist and on unti tho sprightly and lissom figuro of tho girl is merged in tho ruiio out lines of 11 tiaooose.

It rowa 011 windy plains, its ntoiu attaining' n diniucter of four feet, although it docs not excceil one foot in heieht. It puts out two leave nix or oijjlit feet in lenjjth, ami theso are split hy the whining of the wind into a iuiiiiIkt of htilf, narrow ribbons bearing no little resemblance to the legs of a gigantic spider. This re Kemblauctt becomes startling when n strong breeze puts the leglike leaves into rapid motion, and tho negroes shiveriugly exclaim that the great spider is itrugg .ng to get loose.

"2 now and then I find a scolding or an exclamation of rebuke enough. Tlioy are also less intelligent nnd forgiving than n dog if unintontion nlly kicked or trodden on. Thoro is no inoro beautiful expression in n dog's fnco than tho look ho turns to tho friend who hns involuntarily hurt him before thcro is timo to ex plain. His whole demeanor express es the highest magnanimity, not on ly tho foregone pardon, but tho eager ucslro that tho ouonucr snnl think no more of tho matter. In many respects cats nro moro liko men nnd women than dogs nro. They hnvo moods, and their naturo Is complex. A dog is very much of a piece Ho is n good dog or a bad dog, brnvo or cowardly, honest or n sneak. The ennino intelligence is much higher than the feline, but tho disposition is simpler. C'nts nro exceedingly irritnblo by temnernmcnt, sensitivo to changes of tho weather, to frost, to thunder. They arc excitable nnd naturally dis posed to bite and scratch when nt piny. There is a curious tendency in them, as in ill balanced or over strung hutnnn beings, to loso their heads when in hleh spirits, and tho sell command most 01 thorn show when full grown in resisting theso impulses is n striking proof of con scious responsibility. A full grown pet cat scarcely ever scratches n young child, no matter how much mauled by it. ltesidcs Imlng irritn blo cats nro moody nnd subject to depression, probably a physical ro action from the former condition. With 0110 exception all tho cats I hnvo known nro captious. Their in stiuct when ill or end is to bo nlonc, but this is entirely neutralized by petting. They become ns dependent on caresses nnd sympathy ns chil dren and much wiser than children when they are ill or injured, ns thoy apply for relief with tho most tin- mistnknblo suggestions, sometimes indicating plainly where they nro in pnln ami prcrcnting the suffering member for treatment. They nro not so patient as dogs in taking medicine or submitting to surgicnt enro, but show their recognition of its benefit by coming buck for it un der similar circumstances, Temple liar. An Unlucky Bunglt. On tho 21st or l)ecemlor, 1R8S, Admiral Dumlas gave up tho com ninnd of the licet nnd returned to Knglnnd. Ho was succeeded by Ad miral Lyons, k'tween whom nnd Dundns n signal parting took plnco which will long bo remembered ns n standing joke in tho navy. As Admiral Dundns loft tho fleot nt Knmiesch tho crews of both Eng lish nnd French ships manned tho yard and gave him n parting cheer. At thu samo momont, by tho desiro of Dundns, n signal was run up to Sir 1'. Lyons on board tho Agamemnon, "Juiy success nttcnt you," to which Sir 13. Lyons orderei; to 1x3 hoisted in reply, "Jlny happl ness nwnit you." Hut though in real lifo hanging nml happiness nro generally consid ered to lmvo no very close connec tion, yet in thu signal codo thoy nro very much nliko. Unfortunntelv, in tho hurry to reply to Admiral Dun uas, tue line or tlio lormer (listen of tho latter word was hoisted, nml what was worso thu stupid blunder was not mi-cove red nml hauled down till the whole fleet had seen nnd renil it. Pearson's Weekly. A Qood Excum. An officer of a certain regiment was one morning iusieeting his company on parade when ho came to nu Irishman who had evidently not shaved for some days. II a King in front of tho man, hu said, "Doyle, how is it you have not shaved this morning? "Oi have, sorr, was thu reply. "How daro you tell mo that,1 said the olllcer, "with n beard on you like that?" "Well, sorr," said ruddy, "it's oiku this: There's only ono shaving glass in our room, and there wus nine of us shaving nt tho same time, and maybe Oi shaved some other chap's face."

Calmly Dignified Undtr th Moat Try Ing Clrcumttancat. A great man whoso wifo was de voted to him, but was subject to in anc attacks of jealousy and resent ment, was once visited nt his coun try house by two old timo friends. llo welcomed them with marked if id.. u 1 if t f i 1 cordial y, and, seating himself be- tween thorn on tho piazza, was soon deep 1 -rt 1 1 1 1 in confidential conversation. Whilo ho was listening to what they had to say and occasionally replying to an argument which seemed to him moro plausiblo than logical tho door behind him was suddenly open ed, and from it emerged his wife, with nn angry lace and n pall of wa tor. Without a word sho deliberately upsot tho pail and drenched him from head to foot. Tho two friends sprang to their feet in astonishment and caught si'tht of tho resentful woman retreating into tho house with n triumphant air. Tho man who had been subjected to this shower bath aroso without a word, went into thd house and in tch minutes returned to tho piazza, having made a completo chango of dress. His friends wcro still in tho yard and were wishing that thoy could bo transported by balloon or magic car pet to their own homes, whoro thoy would not bo witnesses of strange nnd embarrassing domestic scenes. Their host called to them nnd (ilnccd tho chairs on tho niazzn. Vhen thoy wcro nil seated 110 re turned the conversation with tho simplo remark, "As I was saying, my friends," nnd thon went on witli tho discussion, picking up tho thread wncro 11 nnd been dropped and mak ing no reforenco to what had imp penod Ho was unlet nnd dignified and did not betray in his manner a trace of tho mortification nnd nnnoynnco wincii ills wile s exasperating attack must lmvo caused. A weaker man would either have appealed to his friends for sympathy or striven to nnologizo for tho strange nnd irrational conduct of tho woman. Ho had neither accusa tions to make nor excuses to offer. Ho strovo to nut his friends ut enso by diverting their ntten tion from tho painful exhibition of his wife's inlirmtty by engaging them in anl mated conversation. So successful was ho that tho three wero soon laughing, chatting nnd arguing together ns though nothing unpleasant had happened, when U10 timo enmo for tho two visitors to drive to tho station to take n train their host said goodby 10 incin ni 1110 gato wun mo re mark that thoy had had 11 delightful afternoon together. I ho great man loved his wifo nnd know that sho was not res'nonsiblo ut nil times for her caprices nnd re sentments. Unwilling to tnlk about icr intlrmltles, ovon with old and trusted friends, ho acted with raro solf nossession nnd eood tnsto in maintaining rigid silence nml lcav- ng thorn to infer for themselves tho reasons for his reserve. Ulasgov 'limes. A Rlda Per Hla Tamptr. A certain farmer living near tho town of Derby having got himself disliked on account of Ills quarrel- soino nam in, tno otiier farmers de cided 0110 night to cool him down a bit. At midnight tho farmer wai uitturbod by a voico shouting, "lour horso is stolon I" Tho irato farmer hurried on his clothes and, hastening to tho door, asked, " hich way has ho gone?" "Toward H.," replied ono of tho farmers. Another ottered tho loan or a iiorso lie bestrode, which offer tho sleepy farmer accented. After rid ing all night ho found himself at daylight next morning riding his own horso. London Tit-Bits. An Impoatlbla Photograph. Business was not booming at tho little Btudio. "Only one order yesterday," said tho photographer, "and that was an impossible one. A lady camo in with her little daughter. Sho had seen, sho said, my famous photo graph of n little girl kissing hersolf on tho mouth in a mirror, and sho, wanted ncr ctitld taken likewise, only she had scruples against kiu- ing on mo mouui on account of germs, and so slii wanted mo to photograph tho youngster kissing itself in tho mirror on tho fore head." Paint on a Point A student undergoing examina tion in thu principles of mechanics was asked, "Why will not a pin stand on its point?" He returned tue following answer: "In tho first place, a point is detined by huclid as that which has no parts and no magnitude, and how can a pin stand on that which has no parts and no I magnitude t In the second place, a mi will not stand on its head; mu ess, therefore, will it stand on point.
