He graduated from Dartmouth in 1849 and began the study of law in Dover in the oflice of the late Hon. James Christie.

She was evidently angry about something. “Yes, ma’am,” replied. the private sec- retary, quickly responding to the sum- mons. “Write a note to Miss Doolittle tell- ing her that we will dispense with her services in the local room in the fu- t‘ure.” “Yes, ma’am.” “She is drinking plained the managing editor. too much,” ex- 541 am Sardines are so nu- I sorry for her poor father, who is a widower and has to depend on her for support, but I can’t help it. She will have to go.” “I’ll do it at once, ma’am.” “This liquor evil is becoming a very serious matter,” continued the manag- - ing editor, musingly. “I don’t much blame those poor men out in Kansas who have. been holding prayer meetings in the street in an attempt to break up the saloon business. They are tak- ing leng chances of insult, though. It’s no place for men. I don’t see what do it. We’ll have to have a good spe- cial on the subject before long. “Meanwhile,” continued the man- aging editor, coming down to business again, “tell Mrs. Slasher that I wanta good stiff editorial on the women who persist in going out between the acts to see a girl or get a clov.e It’s an 111— .sult to the. gentlemen they take to the theater.” “I have that, m'a’am,” said Helen, looking up from her notebook. “What else?” “Leave a. note for Mr. Prettyman about 111s society.

Mrs. Burton Harrison Gives Her Views on the Subject. The age of marriage should be deter— mined by the understanding of both . . . . principals as to the nature of their their Wives are thinkmg of to let them ‘ ' bond. It must always seem to an older person who has had experience in ob- servation of careers “nude or marret ” by marriage that the mistake is apt to be an impetuous judgment rather than immaturity or the rcverse.’ One has seen quite as many failures result- ing from the mating of gray hair with middle age as from the nuptials of 18 with two and twenty. As a. general thing, indeed, young hearts seem to grow more together, to accept the in- evitables" of life more frankly, to be more lenient with offending for love’s sake than .do their elders. id lovers who have spent their lives together in their journey through life have a fund of tenderness in their recollection of their common youth that is a. fount: ‘21 sealed at which they alone can refrcji themselves. Then in youth hard knocks are borne so easily together, laughter is so apt to come. after tears, hopes sha1cd are sustaining even in dis- appointment! 'lhese thoughts make an early marriage sacred from the com- mon gibes about“rushiug blindfold into a. pit,” “tying a millstone around one’ s neck,” “1n.11rying in haste to repent at leisure," etc. but materialism is the governing power of our age and society. Where certain indispensables are now lacking to a. home discontent and hea1’t-. burning are as often seen lurking near. -—Ladies’ Home Journal. " BIRD CATCHING. The Natives of ludia the Most Expert in the World. There is something almost super— natural about the dexterity of the na- tives of India. A bird is seen perched on some overhanging bough. , Very well, then. The native, with his car'- like tread, creeps underneath and takes up his position, motionless, breathless, a living statue crouching down among; the grass. In his hands are a bundle of reeds, one of which is tipped with bird lime. To this he adds another at the lower end, and another and an- other. Slowly t-he rods grow, so slowly that the unsuspecting victim does no: notice. that every sec-11d it in nrmninn‘ ...... in v. wrung, nearer and nearer. Length after length is joined, until the bird sees for the first time a. tall reed quivering slightly in the breeze. There is noth- ing terrifying in this. The next i11- stant the. reed flutters ”against the gay plumage of the victim and the wait- ing Indian spling‘s to his'feelt with a cry of exultation. Asa the bird is soon released again. The native carries his treasure into the town,- and finds out one by whose re~ ligion the lives of birds are sacred. He then demands the little creature’s ran- som with a threat that unless immedi- ately paid the bird shall be killed. The bargain concluded, he lets the fright- ened creature go, pockets the money and sets to work to capture it again. awn: all Do not be deceived by infringe- ments of name, package or cigar- :- ette.
