Superstitions About Har«u.
There have been at various periods
all manner of queer superstitions
about liares, which would seem to in
dicate that the believers were them
selves madder than any hare that ever
gamboled In March. Its brains were
believed to make children's teeth come
quickly and painlessly; those who ate
Its flesh became lovely and gracious
for a week after; a waistcoat made of
hare's skin straightened the bodies
both of young and old, etc. Even to
day there are those who take as an
evil omen the crossing of the road be
fore them by this most innocent of
creatures.—London Chronicle.
Too Slow.
Mr. Slowgalt (about to propose; time
11 p. m.}—I am about to say some
thing. Miss Chlllington, that I should
have said some time ago. Look into
my eyes and tell me If you cannot
guess what it is. Miss Chilllngton
(suppressing a yawn)—You look as
sleepy as I feel, so I suppose you must
be going to say "Good night."—Stray
Stories.
A Clever Reply.
Mme. de Malnteuon once asked Lord
Stair why It was that the affairs of
government were so badly managed In
France under a king and so well man
aged In England under a queen. "For
that very reason," replied the English
ambassador, "for when a man reigns
the women rule him, and when a wo
man reigns she Is ruled by men."
Sorrow.
Sorrow is not an incident occurring
now and then. It is the woof which
is woven into the warp of life, and he
who has not discerned the divine sa
credness of sorrow and the profound
meaning which is concealed In pain
has yet to learn what life is.—F. W.
Robertson. '
Sample.
"George didn't keep his engagement
with me last night," said the girl who
was Netrothed to him.
"I'd give him a piece of my mind,"
said her mother.
"Jost a little sample of married life,"
suggested father.—Cleveland Leader.
