“I thought I should find you with the girls, Mr. Godwin. You should have been with us. We've had such a scramble over Honister Crag, and brought back no end of flowers for Gertrude. But one thing I must say—that fellow Losford is a jolly muff, 'though he doesn’t }ook it- Just a funk, girls, and nothing else. Will you give me some tea, Mrs. Godwin?” “What nonsense you talk. Bob!” uyied his sister, conscious by some feminine instinct that her friend's face was hotter thin a moment before: “Yon are a perfect ma-uai* enfant bursting in like that. I wish Mr. Losford would teach you manners.” “I’d like to so’; him try. It would take a pluckier m in than he is. Why, he wouldn't come within yards of the edge, Mrs. Godwin!” “ He showed his usual good sense, Master Robert,” was the lady’s tart reCSho had her reasuns for king favorably upon Walter Losfortl, of Losford Court, Monmouthshire, by no means the least honored guest at Mr. Godwin's lake villa. And they were a very cheery and pleasant party, the pleasantest set, Gertrude thought, that her mother had ever got together, and Gertrude was a young l id v of decided tastes and somcv what difficult to please. Even Bob Marston, when he was not saying malapropos things and appearing where he was not wanted at inopprtune moments, was as amusing as any other Eton boy. Nevertheless, at this moment two people.at least were ardently longing to make his ears tingle. “ And what is the programme for tomorrow. Mr. Godwin?” resumed the young gentleman, uot a whit daunted by the unfavorable reception of his last remark. “Can we picnic on the Red Pike? It would be jolly fun.” The host hummed and hawed; he rather preferred an open-air entertainment at a place acco-sible in an open carriage. But If you have a house among the mountains, up them you rftust go. The climbing disease is'infectious, and there is no evading it until by a' permanent residence you become proof against its attacks. Mr. Godwin would nave to succumb sooner or later. “ Yes, Bob,” said Gertrude, suddenly laying down the fan with which she was playing, NLv-e will go to the Red Pike to-morrow.” And Bob, who thought that in his own language, he had rather “ put his foot in it,” was comforted, and knew that to the Red Pike he would go. Gertrude’s face, as .she-mtut. “He -rirow&Th-—-ml good sense,” Mrs. Godwin had said, and the words kept ringing in her daughter’s ears until her lip began to eurl with scorn. If there was one thing which Gertrude admired it was courage; was she beginning, almost more than beginning, to like °a man who could be called a coward even by a boy? It made her checks tinge with shame and anger. Proud and high-spirited herself, good sense of the Kind Mrs. Godwin meant was not in high esteem with her. And, alas, the insinuation chimed in with other* things. Walter Losford was hardly one to please a romantic girl at first s ght. Cold, sensible and dantinv in enthusiasm even in his ambition! trying nearly everything by the arguments of reason with impartial severity, he WQtfld have made a just and not too merciful Judge. Living bv rule of thumb, no wonder that he looked older than h s thirty years, or that he re

» -vmvu vimuvTj ocijuamiaaa'S Wno called him a prig. Generally reticent, lie would sometimes tell the truth with rude abruptness. Altogether, his friends said, a little wanting in chaHty: too practical; too matter-of-fact. And yet, poor Gertruda! when she met him at dinner, the hauteur she assumed melted away and she blushed and smiled at his glance; for what is so fascinating as the homage of one who seems utterly, almost contemptuously, careless of all beside? If Walter had sfioken that evening he would have assuredly gained liis object, and Mrs. Godwin been made a happy woman. The Kcd Pike was red indeed in the evening sunlight, every light that buttressed its rugged top burnished to ruddiness, and yet the party lingered, reluctant to abandon the view of sea and land from Forth to Windermere that held them entranced. Tea was over and the servants had started downwards with the baggage, yet tho party,; which all day had wandered separately or in pairs at their several wills, skill sat together on the top. Bob only' was on the move, skirmishing hither and thither untiringly. “I say, Gertrude, hero’s a specimen for yon: Here’s a bine gentian growing on this cliif, and a rare good olimb it will be to if.” The party hastened to the edge of the cliff; in a cranny of the rock about twelve feet down grew the flower Gertrude had been long seeking to obtain A slight open'ng in the wall of the cliff made it jnst feasible, if somewhat dangerous, to reach it. “Robert, don’t go too near!” cried Mrs. Godwin. Gertrude turned with her face a little flushed to Losford. . “ Can you get It for me, Mr. Losford?” she said gentlv, and with something of appeal in her voice. “Not without a rooe,” h« answeied calmly; “ we will bring one mp to-mor-row. L “To-morrow P* cried Gertrude, with sudden heat “I want it now. Bob would get it for me in a moment, if I asked him, Mr. I-osford.” “Bob’s head is perhaps steadier than (gioe?” answered the other, keeping at

a safe distance from the edge, finished, ins ejes met^ girl'! . He was look he took a hasty step toward the edge of the cliff and bent down to make the attempt. For a moment he remained in that position as if entranced, scanning the depth below, a sheer three hundred feet, and then n green ledge, nod then, far'beneath, pale-blue Crulumook Water. With n quick shudder he passed his hand across his eyes and rscoiied, white to the lips. **I can’t get it for yon,” he said hoarsely failing back, while the others looked at one another in astonishment. “And quite right, too, Mr. Losford; don’t try any such foolhardiness, I beg,” cried Mrs. Godwin loudly. Loudly, but not so that he failed to bear the one word “Coward!” or to distinguish ihe tone of contempt in which it fell from her daughter’s lips, as she turned awny. The next instant he was his old calm self again, bat be knew that lie had Ms dismissal. As for the bit of bine gen tian. Bob brought it up inn twinkling, and chattered on in such a way as to earn every one’s gratitude. Yet it was a dull party that wended its way down the hill, and clear it was to more than one that a budding romance had come to an end over the little blue dowers which nestlod so harmlessly in Gertrude’s fair hair. Yet, mothers are sanguine, and Mrs. Godwin's face grew scarlet with anger when the spray appeared again at d inner conspicuously fastened in the bosom of her daughter’s dress. If it was only an awkward hour at dinner that Mrs. Godwin feared. Fate was to save her hospitality from, to do her justice, an unwontMsmrf “Where is Kobert?’’ sEeasked, petknow, Violet? t’shly, after helping the soup, f “Do you L-nnw VinW9»'

■Miss Marston did not. Bob was not wont to be punctual, and she was about to say so, when the butler, who had been called from the room, entered hastily and wh'spered something in his master's ear. Mr. Godwin rose quickly. “My dear, this is bad news. There has been a tall at the lead works.” “How unfortunate! I am thankful the men were not at work. Or even worse, we might have been viewing them, as Robert had been plaguing us to do. and been all crushed together, like any common laborers! Shocking! But where can Robert be?’* j “I am afraid, ma’atn,” put in the butler in a low voice wh'ch every one heard wet), with preternatural distinctness, “that Master Robert—leastwise he went that way when he came back—is in there. John has gone to the village for help.” There was a dead s:lence round that fair show of linen and glass and gleaming silver, as if the hand which warned Belshazzar had appeared upon the wall. Then Gertrude gl.ded to her friend’s side and put her arm around her. The gentlemen hurried from the room. But almost as soon as they reached the scene the women appeared there also; the poor boy’s sister could not be res rai led, and Mrs. Gbdw n, whose woman’s heart was sound within her, s gned to Gertrude to letter go. Anything was better than inaction. Mr. Godwin’s wad-hole and works were hardly a quarter of a mile from the house, though hidden from, it by a steep shoulder of the hill. He guessed at once that the boy anxious to exhibit to the ladies the wad hole, had taken the private key, which generally lay upon the study mantelpiece, and had gone, it might be, to make some preparations, whereby his darling eileets would be enhanced. A servant seeki ng him when dinner was ready discov ereu the accident, and, after giving the alarm in the servant’s hall, had gone on to the village. “Is there any hope?” said Gert rude, in a low vo ce, with Violet Mars ton’s hand tight clasped in hers. “Are they digging?” The Haring light of a pine-knot fire, just kindled in tne little inelosure at the mouth of the hole, fell upon a score or two of straage-lookibg figures, chiefly women, tome were moving to and fro before the blaze, but most of them stood still and impassive. The shining clothes of the men proclaimed their trade, as they brushed, all distinctions forgotten, against the gay dresses of the housereplied her father, with a groan. - “The props at this end are gone, and the men say the whole hill is coming down. We must wait for help from Kesw ok.” Gertude was turning to the group incan Vm4Iq‘ a pick though I am a Londoner. Ten pounds to every man who Joins me! Don't let them say that the Cumberland men left their master’s guest to perish because they were cowards." The cold impassive faee was aglow with energy and excitement Was it Gertrude's fancy, or wad it that that word in his voice really struc k her li ke a whip ? . “The hill is on the move, master, and he be dead, too,” said the foremost man, but shame-facedly. “Mush, his sister bo there!” put in a woman, softly. There was an instant’s hesitation while all watched the big miner; then, after a glance at their faces: “We’re with you, master *” cned lie,, seizing the tool at his feet like a giant aroused.

The spell was broken; and who then so reckless as the Cumberland men? Losford soon had, to check them, and assist the foreman to compel them to underp n, and take other proper precautions as they worked. In time, more men flocked from neighboring pits to the spot, and the task was carried on by gangs. Notwithstanding Mr. and Mrs. Godwinis entreaties, the poor girl most concerned vrould not leave, and hour after hour, while seemingly countless loads' of earth were wheeled or carried from the deepeni ng entrance, she walked to and fro, or lay with Gertrude's hand in hers on the wraps laid In a corner formed by-two walls, llow each Shining worker was gated at as he came from the darkne&s into the blaze of the lire and deposited his load! Whoever worked by spells, the figure Gertrude^ knew best did mot appear. But, whon the faint lingering hope was dying away, one of the other men staying in the house came quickly up to Violet. ‘"Miss Marston, do not be too sanguine. There is hope yet, however. The fall is only partial, and he may be in the main working. Some of the men fancy that they have heard him knocking” Violet made no reply. She was sobbing on Gertrude's shoulder. ‘tis any one hurt?” asked the latter, eagerly. “No, hardly at all. A few enta from stones.” Another hour passed, while the crowd thickened and’ listened breathlessly to the dull, muffled sound of the tools and. the creaking of the harrows. A fresh gang was at work, and they came cut more quickly. The skvVau growing gray, and men’s faces iSoked bo, too, as the fire burned with a paler light and the hilltops came out in cold majesty. Suddenly the tools ceased; a burrow on its way out stopped insitlh the en trance. The crowd outside drew close and breathed more quickly, and women hidyheir faces as the sound of voices low murmuring came from the passage. Then a little crowd of men press^ out, and in their midst Walter Leaford, stained and ragged, with the boy's form in his arms. He laid him quickly on the wraps by the women. Tine blood was trickling slowly from a cut in owq forehead, mkI Ws lice, ljrho w

it was not load-grimed, nt pal lid with “He has only fainted,” he saict, os the doctor best over the hot, “Just so!” said the latter, cheerily, “He only wants a glass of sherry,’* Gertrude rose from the boy to thank his bearer, her eyes dun with happiness. But he had turned away. “ The worse time was jnst before they broke in, Gerty. I thought the earth must fall again, or something happen to prevent them reaching me,” confided Bob to her when she visited him next day in his room. The whole matter was to Master Bob one for pure congratulation, and he spent his time in rehearsing a graphic account off the adventure for the benefit of his dame’s house. “But that fellow Losford is no end of a trump. He’slJeen up to say i good-by, and 1 told him what an ass (I’d made myself about him. That's a comfort I heard his voice first of all, do you know, and Mrs. Godwin says they wouldn’t hare got me out but for him.” The likelihood of the' alternative appeared to give Mm unmixed satisfaction. “I don’t think they would,” murmured Gertrude, eagerly presenting him with a large bunch of grapes from a side-table. “I’ll get yon some more, Bob.” “You bet your boots they wouldn’t It’s a pity he can’t c'Jmb. Fancy a fellow like that with what the doctor calk ’constitutional vertigo!’ I can’t make it out.” • And Bob fell into a brown study, wh'ch passed into a doze; and thus refreshed, be was enabled to chatter without ceasing all dinner-time. Gei trade stole out of the room, and, running down stairs, found him in the hall. He had mislaid a favorite stick. “Mr. Losford,” she began, hurriedly, standing before him in, she knew not what, atttitude of pretty humility. “ 1 said something yesterday, the memory of wMch is binning me with shame. I can not forgive myself; but will you say you do? Bob has made amends. Let me do so, What a foolish girl said, can not; have hurt yon ?” sho pleaded, as ho made no answer. ••Rather should not have hurt me,” he replied, gravely; “yet it did, cruelly. Miss Godwin. *But for the chance occurrence of last night, you would be thinking so still. It was ungenerous as well as thoughtless.” Gertrude winced under each almost contemptuous word. She had not bargained for this. Too much hurt for tears, she murmured as she turned away:

“ I am sorry.” “A moment, please! From any otbet woman I should have accepted the apology without a word. I have scolded you that you might know what it was like before I asked yon to give me the right to do it.' Gertrude, will you be my wife ? ” And Gertrude said “Yes." When she had fully satistied him upon this point, she asked: “And you have quite forgiven me, Walter?” “I shall have to, when you have done the pennance I order.” There was a twinkle of fun in his eves a stranger would not have believed could harbor there. “It is that you wear the bit of blue gentian at dinner this evening.” The sight of which harmless specimen caused Bob to blush the only blush he was guilty of in his school days.— English Magazine, A Few Words on Quail-Shooting. Now, a word or two about the best practice in quail-shooting. This game when Hushed rides with a suddenness and force that are quite trying to the eyes and nerves of young shooters. The sound made by the wings of the bird adds to the startling effect. This is apt to throw you oft your guard and render you somewhat confused and uncertain of hand and vision. The quail's flight is very swift, and you 'must shoot quickly; but yon must also shoot deliberately.- Be sure that you Are your right-hand barrel first, as it scatters the shot wider, and reserve your left-hand barrel for the long range, especially ii you wish to make a double wing-shot. In Hushing quail, the bird will sometimes rise at your very feet, so to speak, and then there is danger that ton will be in too much haste to fire. The best way to prevent random shooting, in such a ease, is to wait till your vision hasadjusted itself, that is, until you dearly see the direction of the bird’s flight. When once you have command of your vision, and have acquired the josser/Oh Xfs'es^BnU AT Coyer "ydur point of aim with your gun without anv hesitancy. When your dog has pointed game, do not rush suddenly forward to flush it Consider a moment, and look about the landscape to see if any person or animal is visible. Next consider in what direction the game is likely to fly. ; If any thick covert is near, it is quite safe to § resume that the bird will go in that irection. Now step slowly and firmly forward, holding your gnn in front of you with the muzzle pointing upward and away from you. The bird will rise in a steep incline to the height of, perhaps, ten or fifteen feet, and there steady itself for a strong, straight flight. If you can get yjonr aim —or cover your bird—at about the time it begins to fly level, you will find yotu shot most satisfactory.—Maurice Thompson, in St. Nicholas,

Good Riddance of Rats. Rats and mice are a natural and unavoidable punishment for neglect, carelessness, or want of skill. I once went on a farm so stocked with rats that they fought and squealed with the pigs for a share of their food, and at times drove away the pigs and'took possession of the troughs. I raised the floor of the pig-pen eighteen inches above the ground, and laid it tight with hemlock plank. Every hiding place inside and outside was removed. The corncrib was set on capped posts and Hire netting was nailed around the bottom and the eaves. The sheep-pen was cleared of every thing that could harbor vermin. The horse-stable and cow-stable were paved with cobble stones covered with cement and gas tar, and every thing was- let open. The barn was built on posts eighteen inches above the ground, and the floors were made tight everywhere. No place was left to the rats or mice, but the doors to go in at, and. except the barn, no place was left to hide in. Then half a dozen cats were raised and fed at milking time with regular rations of m'lk. If one came to the house it was shown the broom. For years there was not a rat to be seen; some mice came in with the grain or corn from the fields, but they had a short time before the cats had picked them up. I could never tell what I saved, because i never knew what I lost. But Iosaved myself a great de$l of worry; the bags were free from holes, and the corn in the orib smelled no more so foully of rats and mice. There is nothing better to protect grain and meal bins than broad hoop iron nailed on the edges on both sides, inside or outside, as may be most convenient; and hemlock plank, should be used to build them because of its sharp, splintery nature; and, perhaps, this device might be safely used even With the other means of prevention.—JV.

Generali McClellan’s Ancestral Elm. Woodstock, Conn., has an elm which was set out on the day of the battle of Lexington by the grandmother of General George B. McClellan. It was under this tree that the General made a recent speech upon the MeClel’an ancestry, the occasion being his visit to Henry C. Bowen’s annual Woodstock celebration. It was General McClellan’s tirst visit to the home of his childhood in forty years. The tree is very large, some of its silky green limbs shooting over 150 feet into the air. It is the largest elm in the State, next to the one that Longfellow embalmed in poetry at Norwich Town. Since McClellan’s' visit one of the lower limbs of the tree have fallen, owing to the great weight of the leaves on it. It extended almost directly in a horizontal course from the trunk, and was eighty feet long. It joined the trunk forty feet above the ground, and it did not break wholly away. It now forms a huge ladder into the forks of the tree. Another famous Connecticut tree is the beautiful oak of Danbury. It stands on a road jnst out of Danbu ry, and is the largest and most perfect oak in the State. It Is a perfect cone. 112 high, 25 feet in circumference at the bese, and 12 feet nt the first limb.

The Tarantula of Southern California. Ugly, vicious, energetic,' and, to a certain degree, poisonous, are the spiders that infest the southern part ol California, and yet when closely studied they present many peculiar characteristics, both in regard to their structure and habits. Among the most valned trophies tourists carry away with them from the coast are neat cards adorned with these animals, and a case containing thejnest so as to show its wonderful trap-door and the delicate liningof the interior. The adobe ranches are full ol these strange little habitations, and some of the sunny valleys among the foot-hills are literally strewn with the small tunnels, Capped with the almost invisible door. The legs of the tarantula are larger, and are not furnished with so long and dense a growth of hair as are the specimens found in other sections of the Southwestern States. The baek is covered very thickly with extremely line short hair; the back and the outer joints of the legs are of a light brown color, the remainder being of a deeper shade. The forward part of the head is divided, and each division terminates in a sharp, downwardly-curved and jet black horn or hook. The tarantula pounces npon his prey, and, thrusting in the hooks, most securely holds his *: ,_. i preferring to seek its food during the night, returning to its nest in the early morning. Although pugnacious when c&rnered, he will not seek a fight, and is more anxious to escape the stranger whom he chances to meet. This tarantula is justly celebrated for the architectual skill he displays and for the luxurious comfort of his dwelling. Having selected a suitable site, he digs a hole varying from four to eighteen inches in depth, and just large enough around to admit him easily, although it is puzzling to conceive* how he ever gets h's long, ungainly and many jointed legs comfortably disposed in so small a space. The walls are carefully smoothed, and are completely covered with an exceedingly fine fabric of his own manu"factnre. The top of this-, tnnnel is slightly flared, and in this widened part is htted the door, which is hinged at one side so that it may be easily lifted. The inside of the door is finely finished, and covered with a web similar to that on the sides. The tarantula knows that this door- is not heavy enough to insure a tight fit. when it is dropped, so he makes a small handle near the center of the under side by which he pnlls the door closely down, thereby insuring a joint that most effectually 'excludes ail dampness from his abode. The handle is a strong web, the two ends of which are attached to the door at points about one-sixteenth of an inch apart. The outside of the door is placed about at the level of the ground, and is so nearly the same color as the surrounding so'l that it can be discovered only after the most careful search. The joint of the door is so well made and the colors are so nearly alike that it is almost impossible to ascertain upon whir h side the hinge is placed, except by raising the door. The framing of the door seems to be a coarse, strong web, which is extended at one side to form, the hinge,’ and which is bonded with earth to give it the requisite stiffness. The hinge is abo ut three-eighths of ap inch wide, and acts as a spring to .shut the door immediately after the owner’s exit—Scientific American.

Clay, in the Ohio Farmer says the potato is not a native of South America, but grows wild the table-lands of the Mountains. It is not a “tub®*” but a “bulb.” The eyua, he adds, are perfe t gems of ova, having the stems, leaves, dowers and roots in embryo. Every eye may be safely cut oft' and planted separately. He says the potato is not a “root swelled” or otherwise but is the fruit of an underground stem (stamen) which is no more like a root that it is like a sheep. Mr. Clay has the aet ial hardihood to assert “that all the nice methods of cut ting from the eye toward the stem end is a delusion and founded on error!” What is a Good Cowl Writing from Kansas a correspondent asks: What is a good cow, and how shall 1 get her? The question strikes at the root of success in dairying. If we could get that question asked by every farmer and dairyman in the country, and the answer to it acted upon Intelligently, we should all be richer in a few years. We necessarily have to do many things in the dark, because the mind is not able to grasp everything. But there are some things that we know, and others that we may know, and such knowledge as we have or may have should bo applied to our business. It is idle to deny the fact that in onr agricultural affairs in general we do altogether too much without thinking. Just let ns think for a moment of the imcteuse amount of random breeding that has been done in this country in the past and is still being done, ail because we do not realize the importance of the question asked at the beginning of this

article, as we t nave said so many times, and as is naturally tne case, the country is full of native cattle. Year aftewyear these cows are bringing forth calves. Are the calves any better than their dams? Often not, and it is pretty safe to say, generally not. Are the dams good for anything? Very frequently not worth the lood they consume. Well, then, how is it that such con ' are used for breeding calves that are not better than themselves? Because their owners do not stop to think. They breed recklessly- Tf they tkiivieisutuu tne principles of breeding, they do not apply them, and if they do not understand them, they make no effort to ascertain what they are. The millions of dollars that are annually lost through this reckless sort of breeding are an evidence of profligacy that would suggest that we all have more money than we know what to do with. The owner of a cow that is good for nothing, or to say the least, is not up to standard, feeds out just as much teed as would keep a good cow, goes to the same trouble of producing a poor calf as he would to produce a good one, and has for his reward another inferior cow to eat his feed and fodder without paying for what she consumes. In mercantile transactions su.h a course would lead to bankruptcy in short order; and the only reason it does not do so on the farm, is because other departments arc drawn upon to make the loss in this one good. If there was any excuse for pursuing such a course, the case would be dit ferent. But there is none, for, while it is not desirable to use' a poor cow for breeding purposes, she may be so used, if the sire is properly selected. There is no absolute need of throwing such a cow away, although we should never use her as a breeder. It will take so much the longer to get a good cow, if she is so used. If a sire is selected that has bad milking ancestors on both sides, he will transmit milking qualities to the offspring of even such a cow, in some degree, and by continued careful selection; at least a fair dairy cow will dually bo the result. But no cow is lit for breeding for dairy purposes, unless her annual yield of milk at five years. of age is five thousand pounds If she gives that much m lk, she may be regarded as a good dairy breeder without looking for further evidence. But there are sSme general Soints whieh are accepted as being evience of the possession of dairy qualities. The cow must have a large stomach, the reasons for which are obvious. This will be indicated by broad aud deep sides and loins and broad hips. She should have bright eves and horns, and lustrous ithir, as this indicates natural vigor. She should have a lagge udder and large veins leading to it. Largeness of udder means a broad, deep and lqug udder. The teats should be set well apart aud the skin ought to be soft and elastic. It is generally considered, too, that a cow having a yellow skin and the inside of whose ear is Yellow, will give a richer quality of milk than one not possessing these characteristics. We have observed that this is a very excellent indication, although we are unable to explain why. It is oue of the things that we have not learned yet. The period during which the cow continues to give milk must also be taken into consideration in determining her value as a breeder. A good dairy cow, - when kept properly, ought to give milk for ten months, and cows celebrated ior their large yield of milk, are usually long milkers. It must be observod that in order to reach the standard of annual quantity the long milker need produce a very much less daily yield than the short milker. Now if we have cows, with these characteristics, it will not be difficult, if we carefully select the sire, to build up a milking herd at once, and get out of our cow-yard the measure of profit that it owes us,—Western XwnU,

Popping the foawMha. Popping the question £s * strictly taseuiine institution, though it ioohres the presence of a woman, If * 3an popped ail alone and no woman 0 catch on to his pop he'd be a blamed 001 for his tro ble. Men hare been known to nop at all imes and in a variety of places, bat hose who hare been there say that a jood solid pop oyer a garden gate lays iver ary other sort of a pop and is the rappiest tied of a pop.

Men get off the best kind of a pop then they have both of their girl’s •ands in their own or have one of tbeir •nns around her waist. Tits action jives tone and force to the pop—helps o hold the fellow up while making it. Some fellows take naturally to pop>ing, and are going off all the time. To others it is a painful and laborious •roceeding, only to be attempted once n a lifetime and then only as small a rap as they can possibly get away nth.

w nen a Know s pop is acceptable to * girl, it instantly involves a kiss. Vhen it is not acceptable, kissing is tot involved. When & fellow pops he always pops *t his best girl. So fellow ever pops it his second or third best girt. There s no exception to this rule. Popping is a very an ient and honirable institution, 'and the girls like it. K girl who has never heard a pop never onfesse- as touch. She invents a pop, io that the other girls can not get the lead wood on her. We belie re: n popping, and shall probably experiment in that direction some day.—it innipeg •Siftings.
