The reception aftr the wedding

There's not much doing yet tn even

worth patting on paper. A dinner
dreae turned ont by a fashionable house
thia week waa of a peculiar rosy gray
satin, of which no form of words will
give any intelligible description. The
skirt was brocaded with curling ostrich
plnmea in a shadowy blue that softened
Into gray, and a chatelaine of roe
hong almost tn the ground on the left
side. The bodice was arranged with
folds of black velvet drawn down to a
point in front, and about the shouJderi
waa a looped drapery of lac caught
with puffed knots of black velvet.
For an October reception was a black
sulk dress brocaded in wavea and broken
lines and shadows, and drepd all about
with a triple flounce of black chiffon
eighteen inches wide. The short-waist-ed
bodice waa flounced at :'.. b-v ill

with cream-colored ribbon tied iu full
bows. The shoulders were draped w ith
ful' cream lace frills.

How Urn Aassasd ilfsaseU to Lisa of
OtUe.- Etttrteii,UMBt.
The following story would seem in
r . i if my fattier h d not :.v ,rd it
from aS eve a ituea, says a correapon
!ent of the Fortnijrl t . R v:. w Whcu
1 1 Lennox : afterwards duke of Rich
taondi called out and nearly shot the
daks of ork the ksasdloke th.
roeaj family and of their friends was
extrwme. After a time, however, the
the prinee regent forgave the auda-
t i ! -juitc une.vpev-tedly
usket ht n to dinner A lar par v
vrai awaiiiur the arrival of their royal
hOSl wneu, to their amazement. Col.
L anon was anxiouu e.l.
li. i-: ' rc-.nve t siler.ee and cold
looks he pejotnraj to mark his sense of
the courtiers' disapproval. 51. he laid
down tsv.j chairs side by side on the
door snd leaped over them. Being a
:.u:i f singular activity he repeated
IhJattttla ouj.-dy after laying a third
chair over the first, and again after
laying a fourth u the second and again
after luyh.g a fifth in the summit. At
this last jump, however, his foot
caught the lapniost chair and the pile
waa scattered over the lloor.
At this moment the prince entered
the room and in atiUrnishmcnt asked
the unse aonable athlete what on earth
he was about. "Really, sir," replied
the unabashed visitor, "it is most un
fortunate. No one spoke a word, and I
had to amuse myself. Rut I sincerely
hope that none of your royal highness'
chair-, is broken." The prince laughed
and the matter blew over. "No one
but a thorough jfentleman, said my
father, who used to pronounce this
word with a peculiar emphasis and to
employ It in a sotuewhat narrowly ex
clusive sense, "could have carried the
affair off as Col. Lennox did."
A SECRET OUT.
One of the Fair Sex Tolls Why a Woman
Dcelres to Did Uor Ace.
"I'll tell you why it is we women hide
our ages," said one of the sex the other
day to a New York World man.
"Ninety-nine out of every one hundred
women regard marriage as their one
end in life. Now, it's a curious fact,
but true, nevertheless, that a man as a
rule wants a young wife. Whatever his
own age, his wife must be young and
attractive and all that If a woman is
married when she is getting on in life
its only thrown in her face. People say
unkind things about her. She is
charged with a desire to marry anyone,
or some one say that she set her cap for
the man she married because she feared
to be an old maid. Women, too, are at
their best at thirty. Men don't think
so, however, and so they are obliged to
keep their ages down to the limit set
by their masters. Those two reasons
a desire to comply with the men's arbi
trary standard and a fear lest her own
sex may say spiteful things if they
marry when no longer in their teens
have led women into the habit of falsi
fying their ages. Secondary reasons
spring up from these two. The younger
girls of a family are often obliged to
keep their ages down in order that their
older sisfwr's matrimonial chances may
not be spoiled. Sometimes an ambitious
mother keeps all her children's ages
down in order that she herself may not
appear too old. But, as a rule, once
married, a woman's age progresses as
nature intern led it should, and she has
a birthday every year."
AN IMPRESSIVE FUNERAL.
Laytas Away the Ashe of tha Poet Caosa
bU In Weotmtnatsr.
Mx. S. C. Hall, In bis "Memories," de
scribes the burial of the poet Campbell
in Westminster Abbey. Statesmen,
poets and men of letters followed the
venerable dean of St. Paul's, the poet
Mllm&a. as, reading the burial service,
he led the solemn procession to Poets'
corner. It was noL however, the pres
ence of these illustrious mourners that
made the funeral one of the most im
pMSjgkn ever seen in that mausoleum of
great n; -n.
A lor: reverential pause preceded
the words: "Ashes to ashes, duet to
dust." As they were slowly uttered, a
PoUah ofluer advanoed from among the
OMMMftars, and dropped upon the oof3n
some earth taken from tho grave of
Kosciusko, the hero whose patriotism
and death the poet had praised tn verso.
IftJl was startling.
Then caxne the climax.
"I heani a voie from Heaven." read
the dean, and irnraed lately a thunder
elap shook the old abbey. He paused;
th - mourners wsr thrilled. As the
awful sound died away, the dean
,';.-d t'-..- e;rer.ce- "they rest f r UH

The ancient ceremony of weighing
the uiuharajah of Travancore against
an equivalent weight of gold appears to
have beeu conducted thia year with
great pomp and ceremony.
Some mouths before the occasion the
government purchased through its
commendal agent at Allcppey about
two thousand pounds weight of pure
gold, the greater part of which was
converted into coins for this purpose.
After presenting an elephant and of
ferings to tho shrine, the maharajah
entered the building prepared for the
occasion, and, having completed the
preliminary ceremony, mounted one of
the scales.
The sword and shield were laid In his
lap; in the other side of the scale the
gold coins struck for the occasion were
placed by the first and second princes
till it touched the ground and the ma
harajah rose in the air, the priest mean
while chanting Vedic hymns. Subse
quently the officials distributed the
coins from the fort gates to fifteen

DRUNKEN HOGS.
two Puraev Under the Rsneful Inflmoooo
of tho Intoxicant.
1 Did yon over see a hog drunkf asked
one of the party of story tellers in a St.
Louis hotel. "No, I don't mean the
two-legged variety, but the sure enough
hog, such as the Gadarcnes were tend
ing when the devils drove them to do
the Sappho act. Well, sir, a drunk
hog acts just like a drunk man. I was
once boarding at a hotel in Oshkoah,
Wis,, in the basement of which was a
big beer saloon. The boss owned two
tat porkers and he used to feed them
the stale beer every morning. One day
he had an unusual quantity of the foam
ing beverage that had got fiat. He
gave them a pailful and left the rest by
the back door. The barkeeper saw it
and, supposing the porkers had not had
their morning snifter, gave them an
other pailful. The porkers began to
get guy and I sneaked another bucket
of the amber fluid to the pen. Pretty
soon they began to squeal and fight and
kick up the very dickens. The saloonist
was astonished. I suggested that they
had fits and that bleeding might help
them. He cut off their tails but that
did not appear to bring relief. They
finally sank down dead drunk and I
wandered out and gave a soap-fat man
s tip. He went around and bought
them for two dollars apiece, loaded
them into his wagon and proceeded on
his rounds, covering them with fatty
scraps of all descriptkms. Tie had not
proceeded far until he met a picnic
party headed by a brass band. The
music aroused the porkers from their
lethargy, they scrambled oat of the
cart, covered with grease and blood,
and rushed through the crowd of
pleasure Packers squealing as though
od Nick waa after them and shedding
1 .. -fat and consternation on every
hand. Somebody suggested that they
had the hydrophobia and for half an
hour they were the undisputed masters
o1 the streets of Oshkosh."

THE CHANCE OF DYING.
rarta uf Interest to Tho Oti-relareurd
at the hotera hpldcinlc.
In an approximate way let us meas
ure the chances, so far as an adult be
ing i concerned, of dying of cholers
during an epidemic Normally, at 'i
years of age, says an insurance j 'ur
naL s healthy man has ao. ut
one chance in luA of dying wdthiu oue
year, ail causes of dl Si taken
into account. At age 59 his chance of
dying within ne year is about one iu
an even lou, at age 50, ab-ut CM in
at age TO, about one in 15. Assuming
that a fearful cholera scourge, equal to
that in London iu 1-m, should occur in
New York city which ib cvtremelv un
likely) then would probably be frogn
10.000 to 1J.000 deaths. ( u ke basis of
10,000 there would be about one death
in every "2t)0 of Vlie population, all ags
considered t)ia K to say, the chance
of dying of cholera during a year oi I
demic would be about one In "00. Abuut
one-half if the deaths w..u! i QOOnr uu
er age i56. At age 87 the cholera haz
ard would add about S-10 of 1 per cent,
to the probability of death within one
year; at age 39, about one-half of 1 per
cent-; at age 50, about 0-10 of 1 per cent,
and at age 70 a similar percentage.
These are not alarming additions from
the point of view of the individual, al
though they would in can a great deal
in an increased number of deaths. The
singular fact was noted, however, that
during tho cholera epidemic in Great
Britain in l$4'J, notwithstanding the
nuuieTous deaths from cholera, the gen
eral mortality for a long time was be
low the average.

Sal Tla Coouloee.
This is one of the oldest green-house
sages and among the neatest gnwii:
of the entire genus. It is a fn-eiv
branched kind, which forms ;i pretty
little bushy specimen : bout eighteen
Inches high, and toward the end of tho
summer and in autumn it is plentifully
studded with bright scarlet blossoms
Planted in the op-n ground, it h very
attractive vi L 1 spoiled by the rains and
frosts of autumn. Not only is it very
pretty treated in this way. but it also
succeeds well lu pots and is valuable for
the green house at a tiiao when many
of the summer flowering thing ,aro past
their best and before the chrysanthe
mums come in. Like moM. of its allies,
this salvia is of easy pnpagation an t
culture, the principal thing to observe
tndng that the plants d n t receive
any severe eh k. ot-herwiso thev sre
very liable to be attacked by insect
pasta.
