SOME WAYS OF LOVE Mr. Singleton Falling in love Is nonsense , It doesn't follow that a fcl low won't do It , all the saino. I was very near doing It myself , once upon a time. She bad a way of looking down when you were talking to her und of looking up when she wasn't looking down. Au ! different girls-have dlf feront lines. Hera was tlio domeetlcat ed. "You really must try this salad Mr. Singleton , " her mother would say ; "Louise made It. " Or. "Do have an other piece of Louisa's pie ; the dear girl will bo so disappointed if you do not'appreciate her cooking. " As for Louisa's pastry well , it need ed no pressing. If I had started the courting business seriously and gone there every evening I should have be come a confirmed dyspeptic , 130 Irre slstlble wore Its attractions. Unfor tunately wo are so constructed that we like everything that is not good for us and I . But I am digressing. Also Louisa was singularly accomplished at sewing. Putting on a couple of but tons was nothing to her , I found. You may smile ! Perhaps you haven't tried sewing on buttons ? I have and I know the difficulties. What with the cooking and the sew ing and the looking up and the looking down , It was nearly a case with me I got to going there three times a week and was thinking of an excuse for making It four , when an aunt fell ill and Louisa's mother went away to nurse her. The night after her depar ture I went to supper aa usual. There was no oil in the salad , the pie wasn't half done and the pie crust ugh ! I can't bear to think of it ! Then the truth dawned upon me. Louisa's pas try was made by Louisa's mother. The shock and the pastry so upset me that I didn't call for several days. Then I rallied. At any rate , Louisa could sow , I reflected. You see , 1 wanted some excuse to marry her , so I went there again. She greeted me with a reproachful coolness. "I thought at any rate you would come round for your shirt , " she said ; "I have sewn the buttons on the collar. " "Oh , Louisa ! " I began I was about to take her in my arms when my eyes lighted on the button. It was black ; it was made of metal ; it was ten times too large ! It was , In short , the kind that my tailor uses for er other garments ! So I escaped. It was providential. But sometimes I think you see , she hc.vl a very nice way of looking up and down. The Rev. John Shy ( communicat ed ) AFTER GRACE. 'A curate once courted a nice little miss , Grace by name , and by nature a sin ner ; He never dared ask for "Just one little kiss , " P'raps he thought by his preaching to win her ! His most passionate speech , when they - sat down together , - * Was "A very fine day. " or "Most singular weather ! " "Ah , me ! Ho Is vowed unto silence , " she cried ; " 'TIs my mission to make him ab jure it ; Pa must ask him to dinner ; I'll sit by his side. And I really should think I could cure it ! " H i So he came , and they all tried their hardest to make Him really at home ; to Insure it , He was seated by Grace , and , his si lence to break , Said her father ( who couldn't endure it ) Forgetting the "blessing" "Now what will you take ? " "I should like to say Grace " said the curate ! Miss Flossie Smiles Ma says it .will be time enough for me to think of I LOOKED UP. AND love-making when I'm two or three years older and wear my dresses quite long. I don't contradict her ma is so stupid about such things , you know ; but I can't belp laughing. Why , It was only the other day that she was saying that , if you want to do any thing well , you must start practicing it when you are young. And that's just what Fred Marchant says the impu dent fellow ! He used to be awfully ehy , but he Isn't now ; at least , not with me. It's very tiresome of him , because I don't like boys to be so silly. I should bo dreadfully angry with him If he wasn't I mean if he didn't well , he's rather nice , you know ! He's a great big fellow , at the same school with my brothers. You can't help noticing him if you go to any of their sports. He's always making fif ties or kicking goals or winning races or something. You wouldn't think he was afraid of a lion to see him then. But when ho came to my house he > sv ussed to sit and" blush and twiddle , his \cap , just because of me ! It made me d rosa ! Of course I didn't care about h\ni or want him to take any notice of mek really ; only it seemed so stupid. Beswles , people might have fancied that the thought I wasn't nice. I knew he dldn\t think that , because he used to stare -at me so when lie thought I wasn't looking. All the same , I couldn't get hfm to say much more than "yes" or "no" to me , till one evening ho came round to show the mater and pater a little bronze figure he had won at some sports such a dear llttlepug , with a saucy little face that eeemed to scowl and laugh both at once. "Oh ! " I cried , "Isn't ho lovely ! I am so fond of dogs ! " "Do you really like him , Miss Flos sie ? " he said , eagerly. "I don't want it. We've got such a lot at home. Do keep It , please. " Ho put It right In my hands ; and whe'n ma said , 'Certainly not ! " in her most emphatic tones , ho only laughed and took up his cap and ran away. Ma said that the pater would bo sure to make me send It back ; but he didn't only pinched my ear and said some thing about "beginning In early days ! " After that , of course , I felt I must be nice to Fred ; but he was so aggravat- ingly shy that I didn't know how to thank him. But a few evenings later , when I had been playing tennis with him and the boys they were awfully tiresome coming home , and at last they ran away from me. Fred didn't go with them , so we walked home togeth er. He kept looking round him uneas ily , and I was afraid that in a minute he would follow. However , I told him I was afraid to go through the lane alone , and then he said he would come with me. "You needn't unless you like , you know. " I told him. "I don't want to bother you. " "Ohno ! " he said. "I er-you-er I should like to. " "That's a story , " I said. "No , it isn't. " He stuck his hands In his pockets and had another look round. Boys are so funny ! "Won't you bo frightened ? " I asked. " " with -his rac "No-o. He fidgeted - quet. "I don't think I'm frightened of many things. " "Oh. but you are ! " He looked sur prised. "What sort of things ? " "Poor , harmless little things , " I said , demurely , "that wouldn't hurt a fly. " He looked at me doubtfully. "How do you know I'm frightened ? " "Because you blush. " "You mean I'm shy with girls , don't you ? " I couldn't help laughing. It sounded so comical. ' "Oh , dear , no , " I said. Then I laughed again. "Perhaps , " he suggested , "it's a good job I'm shy. If I weren't you might think me too bold. " "Oh , no , I shouldn't ! " I looked up at him just to make him blush as usual , you know ; and if ho didn't sud denly stoop down , just as I looked up , and Of course , I hadn't the least idea that he would do such a thing ! 1 should have been ever so cross with him , only well , he had given me that dear little pug. don't you see ! St. Paul's. STRANGE SEARCH BY POLICE. Sleuthing rarls Not for a Criminal , bnt an Koucat Man. At the present moment the police of Paris are engaged on rather an un usual task. They are in search of an honest man , not like the Greek philos opher of old , in a skeptical spirit , but for the very reason that he has fur nished striking evidence of his integ rity. As a matter of fact , when this interesting Individual shall be found he is to be provided with a post in the service of the prefecture. It Is a touching story , which reflects the ut most credit on all concerned. Re cently Mine. Blanc , the wife of the pre fect of police , discovered on her re turn from a visit to Passy that she had lost her purse , containing nearly 200 francs , and ascertained to her satis faction on the following morning that it had been brought by a stranger to the office of the local commissary. The lady made kind Inquiries about this person and an investigation showed that he had been living in a small hotel in the neighborhood , but that a Tew hours before he came across the money he had been obliged to leave the house , as all his funds had been ex hausted. The poor fellow had been re duced to the utmost destitution , but he had manfully resisted the tempta tion , if , Indeed , it occurred to him at all to appropriate the purse and its contents ; which he had conveyed ab solutely intact to the office. When she learnt that this honest man was wan dering about homeless and without the wherewithal to buy even a morsel of bread Mme. Blanc was deeply moved , and she not only lost no time in ask- ng her husband to institute an active search for him , but begged the prefect to keep one of the places at "his dis posal for Louis Dubourg , and she added : "As soon as he is found let lim have the 181 francs. The money would burn my fingers if I took it back under such conditions. " So it las come about that instead of being eagerly on the lookout for someone who has come into collision with the aw its agents are searching high and ' ow for the perpetrator of a meritor- ' ous act. So far their efforts have not jeen. crowned with success , but It is ; o be hoped that kind-hearted Mme. 31anc will not be kept long in sus pense. The Terrain riant. The plant known as vervain , which s not distinguished for its beauty , and which grows now-a-days utterly disre garded , was so sacred to the Druids hat they only gathered it for their divinations when the great dog-star arose , in order that neither sun nor moon should see the deed.

Hard I/uck Story Told by a Talkative X'lfo Insurance Ascnt. From the Detroit Free Press : "I al ways take a pride in the business , " said the zealous life insurance agent , "and never fail to take a stop that .will redound to the interests of my company. I think the company appre ciates my efforts in its behalf , as a steady Increase in salary has been my fortune ever since I began working for it. ifut I once had an experience that somewhat dampened my ardor and showed me that there Is a limit in looking out for your company's In terests. I Insured a man for § 5,000. He was a splendid risk , sound as a dollar , and bid fair to die of old age. I felt sure that the company would win out on the risk , so I was feeling pretty good. One day soon afterward I was going down the river on a boat to get a breath of fresh air. Looking the passengers .over , I noticed that the party I had Insured was on board , sit ting on the railing in a very careless position. It made me nervous to sit there and watch that fellow taking so many chances. I don't know why it is , but as soon as a man gets his life insured he seems to think that he can flirt with death like a yellow fever Immune. At last the expected hap pened. Ho lost his balance and fell overboard. I rushed to the railing and saw at once that the fellow could not swim. I am a pretty good swimmer myself and the party in the water rep resented $5,000. I couldn't afford to see the company lose that money right before my eyes , so I plunged in after him. I had a deuce of a time with him before help arrived and at one time I thought It was up with both of us. But help arrived at last and we were pulled out. Then I found that I was not'yet out of the woods. The party was unconscious and It was a question whether he would live or die. I got him ashore and hired every doctor I could get to work over him , regardless of expenses. They succeeded In bring ing him around at last and I was in the act of sending a glowing acount to my company , together with a pretty stiff bill , when I made the discovery that he wasn't the fellow I had in sured , only a man that looked like him. Worse than that , he was insured for ? 25,000 in a rival company. " South American Pickpocket * . Practice makes perfect even in wrong-doing and in the use of what seem to be very awkward means. A writer in the Boston Transcript says : The Gauchos , or dwellers , on the ex tensive plains of Buenos Ayres , are marvelously dexterous with both hands and feet. Many of them have acquired , through long practice , such skill in using their toes Instead of fingers that they can fling the lasso and even pick pockets with them. Some time ago a Frenchman , who was fishing in one of the rivers of Buenos Ayres , was warned to be on his guard against the light fingered natives. He forthwith kept a vigilant watch upon his companions , but , nevertheless , one day when his attention was closely riveted on his float , a wily Gaucho drew near and delicately inserting his foot , extracted the Frenchman's hooks and other valuable from his pocket. Scotch Frankness. The lowland Scottish peasant has an extremely matter-of-fact way of speak ing about his relatives' and friends' deaths. A good Hvoman who had lost her aunt remarked to a sympathizing visitor : "Eh ; yes , mem , aunty's died. But she was very auld and frail. She's far better awa' and far happier in glory and I got a hunner pounds o * a legacy. " Now York Tribune. RECENT INVENTIONS. A Texan has patented a billiard cue which is chambered at the end and filled with chalk , to be discharged through small opening to the face of the cue as each shot is made. In a new British bicycle saddle a metallic ring , supported by braces , is strung with straps or other flexible material to form a flat seat which springs with the weight of the rider. To ascertain the size of finger rings a new measuring device has a flat base on which the finger is placed , with graduated bars to surround the finger and Indicate the size of ring needed. In an improved footrest for boot- blacking stands clamps are provided for the sole and heel portions , which can bo adjusted to fit any foot and clamped in place by a lever at the side of the base. A handy hitching post has a spring drum inserted In the top , on which is wound a cord with a snap hook at the outer end for attachment to the bridle , the spring pulling the rope Into the post when not in use. In a new jack-screw for raising heavy bodies the spiral ribs inside the frame are replaced by a series of steel balls which mesh in the grooves on the threaded shaft and decrease the friction as the shaft is turned. Bags can be quickly fastened by an Ohio man's device , consisting of two steel members pivoted together , with a yoke on one which locks over teeth on the other member as they are press ed over the mouth of the sack. A handy cup for drinking purposes has a weighted section formed under the-flange In the bottom , so that the cup can be dropped into the spring when not In use , the weight keeping it in an upright position as it floats. The French language , It appears , is better adapted to the purpose of the telephone than the English. It Is stated that the large number of sibil ant or hissing syllables in English ren ders It a less easy and accurate means of communication. WESTERN CANADA PRAIRIES.
