IN SEARCH OF A WIFE.

Cautious Suitor States His Requirements In a Letter of Inquiry,

A prominent attorney preserves the following documeut as one of the chief curios of his office. It bears a recent date and was written from one of the Missouri river towns. The young wom- an referred to is the presiding genius of the kitchen in the lawyer’s home:

“Drak Sir—I got acquainted with Miss —— through our corresponding with each other. She wants to marry me. Should she suit I will not marry her for three or four mouths yet.* Please find out through your wife and let me know by return mail if she is worthy of a good husband.

“Is her character good? How about her honesty and integrity? Does she seem to hike children? Is she neat and clean? Is she tasty about her dress? Is she gay or frivolous, or what you call sullen? Is she wasteful in her cooking? Is she strong and healthy? Can she hear and talk good? Is she homely or pretty? Is she smart? To make it short, would she make a good man a good wife?

‘‘I am a cooper by trade, a widower with five children, and I need a woman that’s a good cook and to look after my children. She has been working for your wife three weeks. You ought to know her pretty good by this time. Anything you may say she won't know if it ism’t good, unless you tell her your- self.

“Is she stylish? Has she begun to break or show edge? Is she steady and does she know how to please? You can do me a great favor if you take five minutes of your valuable time to an- swer these few questions. Please write at once. I want to know quick. Your obedient servant.’’—St, Louis Republic.

History on a Watch >...

Almost the last work of the Belgian astronomer Houzeau, deceased, was an article in which, while arguing in fa- vor of a decimal division of time, he pointed out the origin of the double set of 12 hours represented on our watch and clock faces. The ancient inhabitants of Mesopotamia chose the number 12 as an arithmetical base because it has four divisors—viz, 2, 3, 4 and 6, while 10 has only two divisors—viz, 2and 5. They counted 12 hours in the day and 12 in the night, measuring the day by the progress of the sun and the night by the progress of the stars across the sky. This system, prevailing over all others, has come down to us, and so our watches bear on their faces asouvenir of those ancient days when the sun served for a clock hand haif of the time and the stars the other half.— Youth’s Companion.

Her Awful Ordeal.

**Mary had a dreadful experience on ber trip to Painesville?’’

‘*How was that?’’

‘‘Why, she got something in her eye, and it hurt her so that she asked a nice looking young man to look for it, and he was so dreadfully nearsighted that he got so close that his big mustache tickled her nose, so that in trying not to sneeze right in his face she burst four buttons off her new jaeket.’’

‘Dear me!’’~—-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Men, Women and Hats.

A German professor has been study- ing that article of masculine apparel which the irreverent call a “‘stovepipe”’ and has found in it proof of man’s su- periority to woman. Time was, he says, when men, like women now, ornament-~ ed their hats with ribbons and feathers more or less beautiful and wore gar- ments of the brightest colors they could find. This was all “plumage d’amour;”’ it indicated no intellectual superiority and no moral worth. It merely repre- sented the superiority of the peacock over the peahen. Now men have molt- ed. Their headgear has become the un- plumed “stovepipe,’’ their habit theinex- pressive frock coat. It fs woman, the professor points out, who wears the “plumage d'amour” today, in her hat

; and elsewhere.

Nature, he explains, means something by every evolution or revolution she permits. What she means by this one is that fine feathers are best suited to the feather brained. The plumed hat of woman is symbolical of her fall, the plain “stovepipe’’ of man, of his rise in intellectuatity. Man’s moral worth, in short, has become such that he can lose plumage to the inferior animals, If this isn’t “just l1®xe a man for all the world,” nothing ever was.—New York Times.

All Wrorg.

One of the boys brought home his arithmetic lesson, and his mother, after watching his struggies for a time in si- lence, offered to help him.

“Oh, no,” said he, with a look of scorn, “you can’t do it to save you.” <As the mother was a college graduate she nat- urally felt somewhat nettled at this and insisted upon her ability to solve the problem. She did so to her own satis- faction, but not to the boy’s. He de- clared that she did not do it right,

though he could not tell what was wrong. “We'll leave it to papa,” said she

finally. The father, too, was a college graduate and had taken high honors in mathematics. The father said that the mother’s method was the right one and, indeed, the only one. Unconvinced, the boy went off to school the next morning. At noon he came home triumphant.

“There, I told you so!”’ he shouted as he entered the house. “You did it wrong.”’

“What was the matter?” both parents asked.

“Well, you left out two ‘sinces’ and a ‘hence,’’’ was the convincing reply. — Brooklyn Eagle.

Baboon Guides.

It seems probable that travelers and ‘wxplorers who are usually accompanied with dogs, who hunt with them and guard their camp from danger, would find a more reliable companion in a baboon.

So far as speed is concerned, the dog, of.course, has the advantage, but for keenness of scent, for the instinct of finding edible plants and hidden water and as a sentinel against every kind of danger, the baboon is unequaled.

Le Vaillant, an African traveler, gives an account of a tame baboon, which accompanied him on some of his journeys. “By his cries,”” he says, “he always warned us of the approach of an enemy before my dogs discovered it. The dogs were so accustomed to his voice that they used to go to sleep, and I was at first vexed with them for deserting their duties. When he once had given the alarm, they would all stop to watch for his signal, and on the least mction of his eyes, or the shak- ing of his head, I have seen them all rush forward to the quarter where his looks were directed."—Pearson's Week- ly.
