Who could have show n more path-I otism than George Schlagenhauf last Friday morning, when he reported on the lawn with matches and the bootjack endeavoring to fire salutes?

A titled lady warned her new gardener that her husband had an irritating habit of disparaging everything he saw i in the greenhouse and of ordering in a reckless manner new plants to be , liought. "But on no account humor him,” she i said. "Whatever be says, throvfr cold i water on him, or be will ruin us with bls extravagance.” At this point tbc new gardener turn- : ed on her a white and startled face. “Ma’nm,” he said, “If be orders me to ! pitch every plant In the place on the ; rubbish heap, I sha'n't ever have the 1 pluck to douse him in cold water. Won’t it do as well if I get a drain of j warm water out of the boiler and let it , trickle gently down bls neck?”—Lon-

In Spain the courtship begins with gifts of flowers, and the wadding ends with a shower of bi ssoms on the couple, who pass into a floral bower o.i the roof of the new home. The suit >r begins his courtship by asking .for a gourd of water at the home where tie object of his affections lives. If this request is granted, he may persist in his attentions, but if it is denied the matter ends there. Later the man calls again, accompanied by musicians and torchbearers, and while the mandolin players strum their instruments the lover’s companion makes his advances. Any time during the courtship the suitor may be rejected by the gift of a pumpkin. Three times he must make formal suit for a wife, as bis request cannot be granted at first But if her father refuses the third time he may consult a magistrate, who demands that the daughter be produced or that her father give' his consent to the marriage, provided he is an honorable man. He can then carry off his bride. But this emergency does not often arise.—Woman's Home Companion. Poetic Salutation*. In our salutations we are poetical and pious without realizing it “Goodby,” which falls so flippantly from our lips, is really "God be with you,” and “Good day” means "I wish yon a good day—a happy, prosperous day.” The I'hienicians on meeting used to ask, “What occupies you?” Another of their everyday phrases meant to express joy and pleasure was, "Flesh, rejoice!” Every day on our streets we ' car' the pet phrase of the Germans, - >Vie gehts?” (How goes it?) or "Auf Wiedersehen” (Till we meet again). And the Italian fruit dealdr at the corner calls to his comrade in his native tongue. 1 “God give you a good morrow.” The ancient Irish mother upon entering a house says in her own language, “The blessings of God be on this house.” “Peace l>e with you” is the Hebrew benediction, and the answer is equally beautiful, "With you be peace.*' Scientific Fact.
