LOVE AND PROPOSALS.

Sow Men and Women Act In This Interesting Juncture.

There is a clever statistician who could teach a thing or two to the novelist. This statistician has attempted to classify the action and methods of proposals, and as a result has presented tabulated figures extremely interesting to psychologists. Out of 00 casus gentlemen take lady in arms, (7 gentlemen kiss lady on lips, four gentlemen kiss lady on cheek, three gentlemen show very good taste by kissing larly on eyes, and two gentlemen kiss lady on hand. It is to bo pre.viUiied these two out of 100 are the timid, diffident kind, though it is possible that they might be of the quietly sentimental nature. One gentleman kisses lady on nose. It must bo added that the statistician is careful to insert the saving clause of "by mistake.

There is even a record of a man kissing a lady on edge of shawl, but, thank goodness, there is only one in 100, and the chances are that this man is peculiar.

Seventy-two hold lady's hand, 17 hold it very tightly, 14 have lumps in their throats, and nine exclaim aloud, "Thank God!" Only seven out of 100 deelaro themselves to be deliriously happy, and five aro too full for utterance. Three out of 100 stand on one foot when they make proposal, and two go down on one knee, while uino make a formal prelude—something like the slow music at the play, we suppose, when the villain appeals to heaven to witness the consuming flame of his affection for the heart he plots to ruin, otc.

The behavior of the lady under the circumstances is equally entertaining and instructive. Out of 100 cases 81 sink into the arms of gentlemen, 08 rest their heads on gentleman's breast, and only one sinks into the arms of a chair. Eleven clasp their arms around tho gentleman's neck, six weep tears of joy silently, and 44 weep tears aloud—whatever that means. Seventy-two have eyes full of love, and nine out of 100 rush from tho room to toll somobody. Only four aro greatly surprised, and 87 of 100 knew that something was coming. Five giggle hysterically, and one even sneezes. Only one of 100 struggles not to be kissed, while six kiss gentleman first. If wo believo tho statistician, ono out of 100 women will say, "Yes, but don't be a fool. "—Philadelphia Times.

ABLE TO TRANSFER LUNACY.

Uncanny Result of an Kxperiment In Hypnotism Made by a Paris IJoctor.

A series of very wonderful exporiBaeuts which havo just been concluded by Dr. Luys of Paris, whoso observations and discoveries in connection with nagnetism and electricity in relation to hypnotism made a profound impresnon upon the scientific world some timo •go, has led to a remarkable result. The latest discovery establishes tho fact that •erebral activity can be transferred to a trown of magnetized iron, in which the activity can be retained and subsequently passed on to a second person. Incredible as this may seem,. Dr., Luys has

Within Her Sphere She Reigns Supreme.

Woman claims her own. Her field widens constantly. Every day brightens her prospects. Her progress foreshadows the greater triumph at hand. Emancipation and: equality will be hers in the years to come.

Prophetic of final victory were her achievements at the World's Fair. At her shrine there erected the nations bowed. The lesson taught at the "Woman's Building" will last "till time shall be no more." Their enlightening influence will be felt around the globe throughout the dawning century.

Only less memorable were the honors gained at the Fair by

Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powders

The highest award conferred on this peerless preparation, is a fitting accompaniment of the laurels won by the women of America.

proved its possibility by tho experiments just referred to. He placed the crown, which in reality is only a circular band of magnofcized iron, on the head of a female patient suffering from melancholia, with a mania for self destruction, and with such .success was tho experiment attended that within a fortnight tho patient could be allowed to go free without danger, the crown having absorbed all her 'narked tendencies. I About two weeks afterward ho put

the same crown, which meanwhile had been carefully kept free from contact with anything elso, on the head of a male patient suffering from hysteria, I complicati 1 by frequent recurrent periods of lethargy. The patient was then hypnotized and immediately conducted himself after the manner of tho woman who had previously worn tho crown. I

Indeed ho practically assumed her personality and uttered exactly the same complaints as she had done. Similar phenomena have, it is reported, been observed in the case of every patient experimented upon. Another experiment showed that tho crown retained tho impression acquired until it was made redhot.—London Telegraph.

Seedless Fruits and Vegetables.

Writers often express wonder that any fruit or vegetable should be found without seeds, the acme of surprise seeming to be with respect to the seedless orange. Tho fact of the case is that such examples aro met with in almost every variety of fruits and in several kinds of vegetables. An instance which can be cited in tho apple is Mennecher's Nocore, so named because of both "coro" and seed pits being entirely absent.

Tho Rutter pear is a so called seedless variety of that species of fruit, but I believe that abortive seeds are occasionally found in isolated specimens. The "zanto," or seedless currant of the grocery stores, is not a currant at all, but a small species of seedless grape.— St. Louis Republic.

A Clever Dog.

Mr. Stacy Marks' anecdote of tho money finding dog, which ho attributes to Landseer, is a very prince among all stories of tho kind. The dog's master, in tho presence of a skeptical friend, hid a £5 note in the bolo of a tree when tho dog was paying him no attention. "Go, fetch!" ho said, somo timo afterward, while returning by another road, without further explanation.

The dog trotted off, and it was a few hours bofore ho joined tho two at home. As thero were no signs of a note, tho skeptical friend grew satirical. But the host opened tho dog's mouth, and 5 sovereigns were concealed under his tongue. Ho had found the note, been to tho banker's and exchanged it for gold.—Spectator.

Clean Sweep.

"I don't see why they say the De Spug girls got their beauty from their mother." "They probably took all there was. —Detroit Tribune.

THE NEW HEROINE.

A Drama of the Future, Life.

Made True to

I Edwin—And do you really lovo me? Angelina—With all my heart and soul, and yet—

Edwin—Yet what? Angelina, why do you look so strangely at rue? There is something on your mind, something you have not the courage to tell me.

Angelina—Edwin, lean hide nothing from you. Even though it' should wreck both our lives you have the right to know tiio truth.

Edwin—My own darling, what is in your heart? Angelina—Can you bear to hear it? Don't look at me, or I shall noth^vethe courage to say what must be said. Edwin, I have never lived a disreputable life.

Edwin (burying his face in his hands) —Great heaven, and I believed in you so utterly. (Then rising, with a desperate effort to control his emotion) Goodby.

Angelina (falling on her knees and clinging to him)—Ah, no, you shall not go. Think of it, Edwin—of tho temptations to virtue that surrounded me, of the examples of simple girlhood that poisoned mv youth. If I havo lived a life of spotless innocence, remember, at least, that I knew no better. What else could I dor—brought up from earliest infancy by a mother of unblemished reputation?

Edwin (with a gesture of horror)— Your mother too? Angelina, our marriage is impossible.

Angelina—How hard you men are! Is your sex alone to have the monopoly of innocence? Must there always bo one law for women and another for dramatic authors? Oh, it is cruel, cruel! But you will not leave me. Remember, I am still young. It is never too late to err. And is it becauso I am a woman that I am to bo denied tho chance of retrieving tho innocence of a misspent youth by tho indiscretions of a riper womanhood? Besides, are there not cases, cases known to us both, where a wife has lived down the torrible reproach of a blameless girlhood? Why, even Mr. Jones' latest heroine, and thero is nothing later than that, could not absolutely prove she had gone wrong, and yet her husband took her back! But you are so proud, so relentless. You have no pity in your heart.

Edwin—Believe me, it is liot pride. For myself, I would gladly brave the censure of tho world, and if in after years men should say in scorn, "He married her, though there was nothing against her," I should still bo happy, knowing I had your love. But my father, that dear old man in his quiet country vicarage. Think of it! It is too horrible!

Angelina (with bowed head)—You are right. I had forgotten your father. Edwin—IIow could I ever look into that sweet wrinkled face and meet those reverend eyes knowing that I was asking him to receive as a daughter ono who had nevor strayed from the paths of virtue?

Angelina—I see it all now. Goodby. Ed win--Good by. Angelina (as ho is going)—Edwin, come back.

Edwin—Ah, don't torture hie. I can bear no more. Angelina—But what if I were to tell you that this confession, so humiliating to us both, was but a ruse to test the strength of your devotion?

Edwin—Ah, don't raiso a falso hope within mo, only to plungo mo again in the abyss of despair!

Angelina—But this is no false hope. Edwin (eagerly)—What do you mean? Angelina (burying her head on his shoulder)—I mean that I have been no better than I should be.

Edwin (embracing her)—My own true love. Nothing can part us now. Curtain.—Punch. 'ms

Very Sure.

Hers was a delicious dream of everlasting summer timo. "Willio," she said to the young fellow holding her hand, "I lovo you better than anything in the whole state of Michigan."

He was in raptures. "Are you sure?" he asked in joyous mood. "Suro," she reiterated, "sure. Charlie is in Chicago, Frank is in Indiana, and Jack and Harold left for Canada yesterday. "—Detroit Free Press.

Her Little Joke.

"You never bring any live gamo home, John. It is always dead." "Why, how foolish you talk, Mary! I havo to kill it to got it, and whoever heard of a sportsman bringing home anything but dead gamo?" "Woll, it's all right, John, but I guess my friends would bo greatly surprised if they knew that I had married a.dead gamo sport. "—New York Press.

Not Satisfied.

Myrtle McGraw—Say, Mrs. McQuirk, wo wants our money back or anew book. t)e beautiful maiden dies in de last shaptor instead of gittink married and iivink happy ever after.—New York World.
