LOVE AND PROPOSALS.
How .Men and Women Act In This Inter,
eating Juncture.
There is a clever statistician who could
teach a thing or two to the novelist.
This statistician has attempted to classi-
fy the action and methods of proposals,
and as a result has presented tabulated
figures extremely interesting to psychol-
ogists. Out of ] 00 cases 8G gentlemen
take lady in arms, 67 gentlemen kiss
lady on lips, four gentlemen kiss lady
on cheek, three gentlemen show very
good taste by kissing lady on eyes, and
two gentlemen kiss lady on hand. It
is to be presumed theso two out of 100
are the timid, diffident kind, though it
is possible that they might be of the
quietly sentimental nature. One gen-
tleman kisses lady on nose. It must be
added that the statistician is careful to
insert the saving clause of “by mistake. ”
There is even a record of a man kiss-
ing a lady on edge of shawl, but, thank
goodness, there is only one iiv/f)0, 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
declare themselves to be deliriously hap-
py, and five are too full for utteranoo.
Three out of 100 stand on one foot when
they make proposal, ancf two go down
on one knee, while nine make a formal
prelude—something like the slow music
at the play, we suppose, when the vil-
lain appoals to heaven to witness the
cansuiuiug flame of his affection for the
heart he plots to ruin, etc.
The behavior of tho lady under the
circumstances is equally entertaining
and instructive. Out of 100 cases 81
sink into the arms of gentlemen, 68 rest
their heads on gentleman’s breast, and
only one sinks into the arms of a chair.
Eleven clasp their arms around the gen-
tleman’s neck, six weep tears of joy si-
lently, and 44 weep tears aloud—what-
ever that means. Seventy-two have eyes
full of love, and nine out of 100 rush
from the room to tell somebody. Only
four are 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 bo kissed, while six kiss gentleman
first. If we believe the statistician, one
out of 100 women will say, “Yes, but
don’t be a fool. ”—Philadelphia Times.

Destroyed Its Own Identity.
One step from the sublime to the
ridiculous. This is an old truism. It
might be said also that comedy and
tragedy are very near to each other—at
least so argued that prince of good fel-
loes, Nat Goodwin.
Seated in Delmonico’s cafe one day
recently, Goodwin was entertaining a
number of friends with pers6ual remi-
niscences of a European trip. In a de-
lightfully ingenuous manner he made
himself tho butt in each story, and con-
vulsed his auditors with laughter.
Finally he said: “I was walking
down street the other day—that is, I
was or another fellow was, it doesn’t
make any difference. Yon don’t want
to spoil a story on technicalities. Any-
how I or the other fellow was walking
down street and chanced to pass an ex-
press office.
“The expressman was loading his
wagon preparatory for his afternoon
round. Of a sudden the forwarding
agent or whatever yon call him came
out with a small dog.
“ ‘Where’s he going?’ asked the driv-
cr.
“ ‘I don’t know.’
“ ‘Don’t know?’
“‘Naw. ’ •
“‘Why the — don’t yon know?’
“ ‘Now, don’t get previous,’ said the
forwarding agent. ‘I don’t know, an it
don’t know, an nobody knows. It’s et
up its tag, that’s the reason. ’ ”
His auditors laughed, but Goodwin
drew a long face. “Isay it’s pathetic,
he remarked. “Think of the position of
that dog. In a thoughtless moment he
destroyed bis own identity. It’s a trag-
edy in real life.”—New York Herald.

That Is, He Fired Talk For Nine Minutes
at a Reporter.
Eugene Field, tho humorous poet, fa-
mous for his beautiful children’s verse,
I was told, had jnst come in from Chi-
cago and would bo at the Authors’ club
that night. I reached the Authors’ clnb
about 10 o’clock and learnid that Field
had gone.
“Where?”
"To Washington. ”
“What train?”
“Eleven o’clock. ”
I was in Jersey City and in that train
at 10:50.
“Whip out your notebook and write
for all you’re worth, ” said Mr. Field,
throwing himself and his bag in the
seat. “ Yon’ve only nine minutes. Time
enough, though, for two uneventful bi-
ographies like m'ine. ”
“Never mind that. You’re fond of
the quaint and curious, Mr. Field.
What’r’ your fads, pots and so on?”
“Well, listen for your life now. I’m
fond of dogs, birds and all small pets.
My favorite flower is the carnation. My
favorites in fiction are Hawthorne’s
‘Scarlet Letter, ’ ‘Don Quixcto’ and ‘Pil-
grim’s Progress.’ I believe in ghosts,
in witches and in fairies. I should like
to own a big astronomical telescope
and a 24 tune music box. I adore dolls.
I disliko ‘politics, ’ so called. I should
like to have tho privilege of voting ex-
tended to women. I am unalterably op-
posed to capital punishment. I favor a
system of pensions for noble services in
literature, art, science, etc. I approve
of compulsory education. I believe in
churches and schools. I hate wars, ar-
mies, soldiers,'guns and firoworlfs. I do
not care particularly for sculpture or
for painting. I try not to become inter-
ested in them, for the reason that if I
were to cultivate a taste for them I
should presently become hopelessly
bankrupt. I dislike all exercises, and I
play games very indifferently. I love to
read in bed. I am extravagantly fond
of perfumes. My favorite color is red.
I am a poor diner, and I drink no wines
or spirits of any kind, nor do I smoke
tobacco. I dislike crowds, and I abom-
inate functions. I am 6 feet in neight
and have shocking taste in dross, but I
like to have well dressed people about
me. I do not love all children. I have
tried to analyze my feelings toward
children, and I think I discover that I
love them in so far as I can make pots
of them. I believe that, if I live, I shall
do my best literary work when I am a
grandfather. ”
“And how did you become a humor-
ist, Mr. Field?” I asked, while the por-
ter besought me with tears in his eyes
to leavo the train before it started.
“Oh,they’re not made. They’re born. ”
“All aboard!” And Eugene Field
was gone.—Demorest’s Magazine.
Wc men know best what they want
when they find something that fills
every need like Dr. Prloe’s Baking
Powder for Instance.

Slumber Begins at tlie Ffcet, and the Senses
Become I>ormant One After Another.
“Order is heaven’s first law,” and
tho old truth is manifested even in the
process of going to sleep. When a man
drops off to sleep, his body does not do
so all at once, so to speak. Some senses
become dormant before others and al-
ways in tho same order. As ho becomes
drowsy tho eyes close, and the sense of
seeing is at rest. It is quickly followed
by the disappearance of the sense of
taste. He next loses tho'sense of smell,
and then after a short interval the tym-
panum bec< les insensible to Bound, or
rather the nerves which ripn to the brain
from it fail to arouse any sense of hear-
ing. , .
The last sense to leave is that of
touch, and in some hypersensitive p6o-(
pie it is hardly ever dormant. Even in
their case, however, there is no discrim-
inating power or sense of -what touched
them. This sense is also the first to re-
turn upon awakening. Then hearing fol-
lows suit, after that taste, and then the
eye becomes able to flash impressions
back to the brain. The sense of smell,
oddly enough, though it is by no means
the first to go, is the last to come back.
The same gradual loss of power is ob-
served in the muBcles and Biuews as
well as in the senses. Slumber begins
at tho feet and slowly sproads up the
limbs and trunk until it reaches the
brain, when unconsciousness is complete
aud the whole body is at rest. This is
why sleep is impossible when the feet
are cold.—New York World.
