Here are some quaiht old time mar
riage notices that have been dug up
by the Springfield Union:
in Bozrah, August. 1819, Mr. John
Bate of Williamstown, Mass., to Miss
Mary Ann Bass of the former place,
after a courtship of one hour.
Is not this angling well, I ask.
Such tender bait to take?
He caught in one small hour a Bass.
The Bass, though, caught the Bate.
Married, at Bridgewater, Dec. 16,
178S, Captain Thomas Baxter of
,Quincy, aged sixty-six, to Miss Whit
man of the former place, aged fifty
.eight years, after a long and tedious
courtship of forty-eight years, which
they both sustained with uncommon
fortitude.
In Boston, April, 1821, by the Rev.
William Sabine, Joseph Willicut to
Miss Susan Whitmarsh, after a tedious
courtship of thirteen days. and but
thirty-five days after the death of his
former wife.
The best way, it seems, a deep sorrow to
smother.
For the loss of a wife is-to marry an
other.
Heatstroke and Sunstroke.
Heatstroke and sunstroke are terms
usually applied indifferently to either
of two quite distinct conditions, to
each of which only one of the names
properly applies. Heatstroke, as its
name impies, is a condition caused by
the action of' excessive heat, either the
torrid heat of summer or the artificial
heat of a foundry, a furnace,.the stoke
hole of a steamship, etc. It occurs
with almost as great frequency at
night as In the day, and its victims
may be overcome on a cloudy day or
without having ventured from their
homes. The other form, properly call
ed sunstroke, is due to the direct ac
tion of the sun-probably of its ultra
violet or chemical rays rather than of
its heat -rays. Only those who have
been long exposed to the dircet rays of
the sun, such as soldiers on the march,
harvesters, ball players, etc., are the
subjects of true sunstroke.-Dr. T. L.
Stedman in Good Housekeeping.
Responsive Flowers.
Karlstrom says flowers have under
standing and know when persons care
for them. He says they respond to a
loving touch and to a caress. The
Swedish collector touches flowers af
fectionately as he walks through his
greenhouse and insists they have a
language for those who understand.
He points to a flower with drooping
head and says it is calling for water.
In different ways, he explains, flowers
ask for light, warmth, sunshine, and
.when satisfied the flowers lift up their
heads buoyantly and express the pure
joy of being. Karlstrom advises. the
'study of flowers through magnify
ing glasses, saying their beauty is
not half appreciated ofherwise. A
flower under the glass, he asserts, re
veals remarkable beauty and if taken
to pieces discloses wonders never ap
precated-New York Press.
A Sensitive Horse.
Harsh treatment, though it stop
short of inflicting physical pain, keeps
a nervous horse in a state of misery.
A. single blow may be enough to spoil
a racer. Daniel Lambert, founder of
the Lambert branch of the Morgan
family, was thought as a three-year
old to be the fastest trotting stallion
of his day. He was a very handsome,
stylish, Intelligent horse and also ex
tremely sensitive. His driver, Dan
Mace, though one of the best reins
men In America, once made the mis
take, through Ill temper or bad judg
ment, of giving Daniel Lamnbert a se
vere cut with the whip, and that sin
gle blow put an end to his usefulness
as a trotter. He became wild and un
governable In harness and remained
so for the rest of his life.
How Kangaroos Fight.
Kangaroos are distributed over all
parts of Queensland. The "old man,"
or fully grown male, is mostly found
on downs and In open forest country.
An "old man" sometimes grows to the
height of sir feet and when hunted
into a rocky gorge or corner will turn
and face Its pursuer. It Is a formi
dable adversary at close quarters. Its
mode of fighting is to clasp Its enemy
In its arms, hug him to Its breast and
then with Its powerful hind claws rip
him open. _______

"Papa says If I give up my singing

"You have never worn earrings, have
you?"
"No; I should have to have my ears

to pay you back in your own coin!"
A Dubious Compliment.
Dobby was showing off his baby.
"Think he looks like me, Slithers?'
he hsked.
"Well-no," said Slithers, looking at
the youngster critically. "He's a
queer looking little cuss all right, but
I shouldn't go as far as to say that
he looks like you."-Judge.

Extremes of Temperature.
Science reasons that the lowest tem
peratures at the earth's surface are
ot found directly at the poles, but at
1:sie distance to the south of the
iorth pole and to the north of the
south pole. Likewise the greatest de
gree of heat is not, as might be sup
posed, to be found at the equator, but
prevails at some distance to the north
ind to the south of that imaginary
ine. The coldest place on the earth's
surface of which there is authentic
record is in Siberia. The lowest tem
perature ev'r recorded in the open air
was I0 degrees below zero F. at Wer
:bajansk. central Siberia, on Jan. 15,
18. The highest temperature of
which thr-re is an authentic record is
124 degrees abore zero F. in Algeria,
orthern Africa, on July 17, 1879.
rhese places of extreme heat and ex
treme cold give a range of tempera
ture covering the whole inhabited
world of 214 degrees, or two degrees
more than from zero to the boiling
point.
Don't Breathe Lazily.
"If you are consumptive, if you think
ou are drifting into consumption,
;ing!" said a medical man.
"Of course singing alone will not
save you from consumption or cure
rou. Besides singing you must have
plenty of fresh air and good food. And,
speaking of fresh air. I must say that
not one person in a hundred knows
low to inhale it People seldom
breathe deeply enough. They seldom
properly ventilate their lung cavities,
which resemble stuffy, insanitary
apartments, where all germs thrive un
isturbed. Acquire the habit of tak
ng the big, deep breath which is a pri
mary requisi_ for any kind of singing,
bad or good, and the physical joy de
rived from it will never allow you to
relapse into lazy breathing. Further
more, the mere effort of singing com
pels the singer to stand straight and
to throw out the chest, a good correc
tive for the bad physical habits of
weak chested people."
Killed by a Shout.
A joyful shout thoughtlessly given
by an Italian smuggler on having
eluded the customs gaards on the
Swiss frontier was the cause of his
six companions being killed by an
valanche. The party, coming from
the Grisons, had, with a thousand pre
mautions, successfully negotiated the
Forcola pass on the Swiss-Italian bor
er. Five of the men were loaded
with valuable contraband goods, and
two acted as guides and scouts. When
they were all safely on Italian soil one
rf the guides named Maretoli gave
rent to a joyful yodel. In the still
kir the least sound causes a vibration
which may set enormous masses of
mow moving. This is what occurred
here. A quarter of a million tons of
mow detached itself from the moun
tain side and came thundering down
cpon the party, who were swept in an
instant into an abyss. Maretoli alone
was able to estricate himself
Checkmate!
In these days, when various schemes
ire being suggested by which the loser
f personal property may recover it
without offering an extreme reward, it
is interesting to note two advertise
ments which appeared last summer In
ri German parer. In these advertise
ments nothing so bald as a suggestion
f reward appeared. They seem mere
ly to present two wits fencing, and the
reader forgets the matter at stake:
Berlin. Aug. 5.-The gentleman who
found a purse, valuable beyond ex
planation, in the Blumenstrasse, is re
ruested graciously to forward it to the
rddress of the loser, as he Is recog
aized.
Berlin, Aug. 6.-The recognized gen
tleman who found a purse, valuable
beyond explanation, begs that the loser
will call at his house at the earliest
:onvenient hour.
The Green Kind.
A naval officer who has seen consid
rable service in South- American wa
ters once brought home two parrots,
rme of which he gave to the house
maid and the other to the cook.
For a long time there ensued ani
mated discussions as to the merits of
their respective birds. Finally the
housemaid said:
"Your parrot may be a better talker
than nine. though I dont believe It."

Honored the Old Men.
A unique festival occurred in Paris
in 177 in honor of the old men. The
idea was the encouragement of the
family circle, and the old man who
was a happy grandfather was held up
to the younger generations to. follow
in his footsteps. "A gracious Hlebe
