as a hachelur is the pink of neatness, the
glass of fashion and innnld of form, when
he (jots a tvili in -vcr seems to lie able to do
anything in the way of dressing himself
without liis wile's assistance? This young
mau was at one lime a notorious flirt. He
had the best cut coats, the most beautiful
boots, the most elegant neckties in town.
Ho has been married several yoais, and he

is it a psyculogical phenomenon attributa

noticed his boots were pretty well worn
It kstod long enough for hiiu to say to his
wile.
"Haven't I got any other boots I
wear? These are awful."
'Yes,'1 she said, ''there is a pair of side
button uuotfl in the closet there."
He fetched thein out.
' How does it come that I've had th
hoots all this time and been wearing these
Wt ru out ones?" Then he put them on.
Yes, I knew there must be something
the matter with the blamed boots. They
dou't fit uie at all. I can't walk in them."
And he made faces as he stamped up and
duwn the room. ''They are not my boots,
yet they are a man's boots' Madame, who
is su familiar in this house as to have a

"Well, dear, they'll perhaps he more

HANDS OFF.
Southern society, at one time so pure
and n liiieil and marked by knightly chiv
alry and honorable devotion to womanhood,
is gradually losing that lofty tone which
encircled the fair si x in a halo of virtuous
majesty and clothed woman in "purity
(ruth and everlasting love." And while
the ladies of the South have been taunted
with the charge of "false modesty," it is
not to he denied that this same modesty
threw over her beauty a veil of purity
which was considered the sacred separa
tion from all that was coarse and vulgar.
Thus placed in the sanctum sanctorum,
men felt that it was no light honor to gain
possession, and wooed accordingly.
It is not so under the new dispensation
of society. Tho veil has apparantly been
torn aside, aud the idea prevails somewhat
that tho less modesty one possesses the
more popular she becomes. ( Inly fools are
caught with such chaff, and the sooner
young ladies reali.e the fact that young
men never look for wives among this class
tho fewer old maids will bo strewn as scare
crows along tho shorft of the society mael
strom. ( I iris, nuke the boys keep their hands
off of you. Frown down the disgusting
and fashionable habit of allowing young
men to take your arm, and if you need as
sistance take theirs. The "arm clutch" is
very popular. It is encouraged in the
very best society, but its practice does not
prevent tho "best society" from becoming
less pure on aceouut of its use. It is vul
gara step in the wrong directio- an en
couragement to greater liberty, and a use
less net of immodesty. Hands off! It is
tin
i only sure safeguard of virtue.
A reform is needed in Southeru society.
Things that may be allowable in colder ch
utes should not bo encoura,. 'd in the
South. Put a stop to widish.'.'. The
young man wiio goes into ecstaeies ol
praise and admiration over the young lady
who waltzes gracefully, veiy seldom cares
to marry a walu.-r, unless he hinisrll' be a
fop and brainless dude.
Whenever it is the case that a lady who
waltzes with Tolu, Dick and Harry docs
marry a sensible fellow she quits it till
marriage, and is generally opposed to her
tiwn daughter s dancing. It is all wrong
Cut on brakes! Society is going down
:rade at a speed wnieh is death to virtue
Hands off! Don't encourage disrespect
and then wonder why you are not respect
Young la lies, who dress immodestly
ihouhl not feel hurt if immodest remarks
are inatle about thein. i oiiuo ladies who
allow waltzing, should not be surprised if
some young men should want to indulge in
the hugging feature of the dance, when off
the hall room tloor. It is a fatal mis
take that girls sometimes make in believ
ing that the less particular they become,
the more admiration they excite. Boy
may natter the last young lady, and may
how a preference for her company as long
as he wants to have the proverbial ''good
but vi lit a l,e is ready to marry, he is o
the It okout for a modest, sensible girl, who
prt.erTeil being a "wall flower to a "daisy
in an unhealthy atmosphere.
The subject is a serious one. The
lu iiherssli.iultl consider th.' muter before
the lives of their duughtirs are wrecked in
(tills should consider it before
they arc stranded upon the matrimonial
ashore. Young ni"n should consider tin
.image they are tloiiig to society in en
enuraging what they would condemn ii
their wives and sisters, and wnieli causes
them to lo; respect for tho sex to, which
their m ithers b 'long. A sentiment against
immodesty and a premium on the sensible
iiirls who will not be led by flattery into
ievinir wrong is right, should be the
object of all. Hands off Ki.

peared as follows : "The concert given
last night by sixteen of Sturm lake's most
beautiful and fascinating young ladies was
highly appreciated. They were elegantly
dressed, and sang in the most charming
manner, winning the plaudits of the entire
audience, who pronounced them the
finest breeds of short horns iu tho couu

color, but the majority are spotted, brow

J. T. Norris of Springfield. O., the di-
teciivc, does a trick that probably no other
man iu the country can imitate, lie takes
a silver coin, usually a dollar, aud places it
on his tongue between his teeth. With his
tongue he strikes it agaiust his teeth with
the sound of a telcgranhini: instrument
the opening and closing uf the circuit being
exactly imitated. Norris used to be an
operator, and by means of ihe coiu can
telegraph words so distinctly that any te
legrapher can easily read the message. In
this manner he telegraphed fifty words a
minute. A Ri'iiljioin reporter wrote out
a mcssigo on a Western l uion blank, ami
led it to ihe detective. TH j two op
orators in charge at the Southern took
,!own the words as fast as Norrisspr,Hlucetl
them with the coin. The message was
rapidly sounded and written down, and all
three coincided exactly, Mr. Norris can
stand up before a telephone, aud in this
novel manner telegraph a message which
any telegrapher tan read with great fideli
ty. Hut the most wonderful ihing is to
see him telegraph with his eyelids. The
dots aud dashes ol the teh pra.hic alphabet
be indicates by more or less rapid opening
and shutting of the eyelids. In this man
ner he can converse with an cxpett without
uttering a sound. St. lmis A'iiioi'eon.

The New Y'ork Ctitmiirm'uf gives a
touching narrative that shows tho worst
of men slill have tender spots in their
hearts and that the milk of human kind
ness has not all soured or dried up. A
prisoner at Newark, in jail for murder,

was loiinu 10 grow weaker daily. It was
discovered at last that he wasstarvinghiui
self to provide food for his wife and chil
dren, who had no other means of support.
On learning the fact the warden doubled
the ration, and took fuither sU- to keep
the family of the prisoner from utter des
titution. We do not believe that any
many is entirely bad that he has nnanod
I spark that may not be kindled.
POLITENESS WON.
The following pretty incidt-nt is related
in the Irish Times about u monkey and a
dog, ngain tho advantages of politeness,
even among animals :
A brave, active, intelligent terrier be-
lotming to a lady friend, one discovered n
monkey, belonging to an itinerant organ
rindiT. seateil in... n a bank within the
rounds, and at once made a dash for him
The monkey, who was attired in jacket
and hat. awaited the onset iu such undis
turbed tranquility that the dog halted
within u few feet of him to leeonnoitre.
Both animals took a long, steady stare
at each other, but the dog evidently was
recovering from his surprise, ami about to
make a spring for the intruder.
At this critical juncture, the monkey
who had remained perfectly quiet hitherto
raised his paw and gracefully saluted by
lifting his hat.
The effect was magical. The dog's
head aud tail dropped, and he sneaked off
to the house, refusing to leave it until his
polite but mysterious guest bad departed.
SIGNS AND OMENS.
It is unlucky to bo discharged from a
good position on Friday.
It is unlucky to leave a house on Sat
urday without paying the rent (for the
landlord.)
To pass a churn and not give a helping
hand is unlucky (to the person who is
churning).
If the palm of the hand itches it is a
sign of cutaneous irritation.
A broken nose is a sign of language. It
indicates that its owner has had "words"
w ith some one.
A black eye is a sign of discontent,
for it is difficult to satisfy a man in a pre
senting him with au eboiiized optic.
It is bad luck to call a man a liar on
Wednesday, especially if the calico be
bigger than the caller,
To knock over the salt cellar at the
dinner table isa sign of awkwardm-ss.
If a man with gray hair falls in love
wiih a young girl he will dye.
A man's name on an umbreila is a sign
i' belongs to him (the name, not th" um
brella). 77. Wit.
