A Necessity.
He had just been accepted.
"And do you really think you can
be happier with me than with anybody
else in the world?" he asked.
"No," replied the girl, "but if these
600-button gowns are to be fashionable
I must get a husband quick and get
him in practice."

The Crimean Crime.
Kinglake was all for war. "He used i
to say," says Mme. Xovikoff, "that 1
peace would emasculate the world. |
'Besides,' he continued, 'population;
when too dense is not at Its best.'" ■
He did not like Bright. Mme. Xovikoff J
told Kinglake one day that Bright had j
made a curious remark about the |
Crimean statue in Pali-Mall. "The In- j
scription," he had said, "should be
altered. The 'a' should be put before j
the word 'crime,' and not at the end!" j
—London Chronicle.
Goodness.
Goodness Is a large, often a perspec-
tive, word; like harvest, which at one
stage when we talk of it lies all under-
ground, with an indeterminate future;
is the germ prospering in' the dark-
ness? At another, it has Just put forth
delicate green blades, and by and by
the trembling blossoms are ready to
be dashed off by an hour of rough
wind or rain. Each stage has its pe-
culiar blight, and may have the healthy
life choked out of it by a particular ac-
Uon of the foul land which rears or
neighbors it, or by damage brought
from foulness afar.—George Eliot.

Long and 8tern Chase of College Stu-
dents That Ended in Something
of a Fiasco.
Once, in a college town, the rumor
that students were carrying concealed
weapons reached the ears of the local :
police. Their chief at once issued strln- \
gent orders that the heinous practice :
should be stopped. j
In this particular college town the j
students were no different from stu- ]
dents the world over; in other words, 1
they dearly loved to bother the police |
to the best of their ability. So one day I
a group of them nonchalantly passed a |
policeman, and one of the students, In ,
so doing, put his hand to his hip pock- ;
et. Then, as if recollecting himself in
time, he hastily withdrew it and looked
| sheepishly at the policeman.
j "What have you in that pocket?" the
| latter asked sternly.
Instead of answering, the student
and all his companions, as if panic-
| stricken, started to run. Immediately
i the policeman blew his whistle, sum-
j moned several of his companions, aad
! started after the group. After a con-
I siderable chase in the course of which
; the policemen were badly winded and
i roused to a great pitch of anger, all
; the students were cornered, and sum-
imarily ordered to deliver up what-
i ever they had in their hip pockets.
Meekly they obeyed. Each one car-
I rled a corncob. The remarks of
j the policemen cannot possibly be re-
corded.

^ I FOR RENT.—The R. T. Willliam*
Turkish Feast in Which Open House , „
Is Very Literally the Order residence, furnished. For terms, see
of the Day. | Mrs. R. T. Williams. tf.
Every year in Turkey, in the month
of Ramazan, as they term it—which is
j the month when the Koran was re-
[ vealed, In 26' parts, to Mohammed—it
I was for years a general custom in Tur-
key for the Turks to open their houses
at 12 o'clock, the Turkish sunset time,
to strangers, and any one was per-
mitted to enter and take supper, a
meal the Turks call oviftar, during
Ramazan.
No matter how poor or how rich the
persons, and whether a complete
stranger or near friend, they come Just
before the sunset hour, and all are
seated at the truly hospitable table be-
fore 12 o'clock. Immediately after the
roar of the cannons announces sunset
the Turks eat either an olive or a date,
it being the legend that the holy
prophet did this, and those who smoke
may begin as soon as the date or
olive, supposed to be the fruits of
paradise, disappears. Then come Jel-
lies, as it is a belief in Turkey that
sweets "collect the senses," whatever
that may mean. Oddly enough, soups
follow the sweets, and then after that
eggs cooked in butter are served, fol-
lowed in turn by mutton chops or
roasted meat; these are succeeded by
vegetables, and the vegetables by a
sort of sugarless pudding, called beu-
rek, and after this the famous baclava,
or kadaif.
After all this more meat courses,
fish, and the vegetables are served,
and such sweets as rice milk, (gullaj
sudlaj), native blanc mange (mahalle-
bi), pilaf with hishab or Junket
(yaourt), and coffee
