TURNED THE JOKE.
The-Way a Bridegroom Qot the Laugh
on His "Funny" Chum.
Under the thin disguise of harmless
fun many an unpardonable rude prank
is played upon newly married couples.
It Is refreshing to hear of an occasion
al instance in which the "joke" reacts
on the joker. A young man and his
bride, who had just been married in a
western town, were starting on their
wedding journey. They had managed
to reach the train in safety despite the
showers of rice and old shoes.
Jtfst as they had taken their seats In
the car one of the bridegroom's chums
came hastily in to bid him goodby. As
the young husband extended his hand
the friend snapped a handcuff round
his wrist.
The groom had been suspecting a
trick of some kind, and before the
practical joker could play a similar
trick on the bride he found the other
handcuff snapped round his own wrist.
He was chained to the happy bride
groom himself.
"Thai's a good one on me, Harry,"
he said, with a sickly kind of smile,
"but I'll have to ask you to come to the
door with me and get the key to these
things from the fellow outside that's
got it. Hold on, conductor, just a min
ute!"
But the conductor, whose quick eye
had taken in the situation, refused to
wait He gave the order for starting,
and the train pulled out. It was a
through train and made no stop for
the next fifty miles. Before it stopped,
however, the brakeman, with the aid
of a sharp file and a hammer, succeed
ed in releasing Harry. The practical
joker meanwhile had had to pay full
fare for the fifty miles and still had
his fare home to pay.
FRENCH SENTIMENT.
The Way It Classifies the Greatest
Men of the Nation.
The Petit Parislen in 1906 conducted
a
very Interesting plebiscite, the object
of which was to ascertain who, in the
opinion of its readers, were the ten
greatest Frenchmen of the nineteenth
century. More than 15,000,000 votes
were given, and the result was that
Pasteur came out at the top of the poll
with 1,338,425 votes. The next were
Victor Hugo, who received 1,227,103
votes Gambetta 1,155,672, Napoleon
1,118,034, Thiers 1,039.453, Lazare Car
not 950,772, Curie 851.107, A. Dumas
pere 850,602, Dr. Roux 603,941 and
Parmentier 498,863. Immediately fol
lowing were Ampere, the electrician
Brazza, the explorer Zola, Lamartine
and Arago.
It will be observed with Interest how
large is the proportion of scientific
men In the number of those who, In
the opinion of Frenchmen, occupy the
highest places In the records of the
country. Napoleon Is only fourth,
though Pasteur heads the list, and
Curie, Roux and Parmentier, the chem
ist who introduced the culture of the
potato Into France, are also honored,
while Ampere and Brazza are not far
behind. Literary men and statesmen
dispute with the scientists for the
highest distinctions, and the national
sentiment of France is evidently ec
lectic.
Animals That Are Trained.
The animal trainer paused in his
midnight supper.
"It is strange," he said, "how train
ing increases an animal's value. 1
can buy a young lion for $100, train it
and sell it for $500 afterward. Take
the group I performed with tonight
three lions, three tigers, two leopards,
four bears and four boarhounds. Thay
are all young adults in the pink of con
dition, but untrained they wouldn't be
worth more than $1,500 or $2,000 at
the outside. Yet the boss was offered
$60,000 for them last week. The train
ing sets the price, and no wonder. It
took four years to train this group of
mine, and, though there are only six
teen animals in it now, no less than
seventy had to be tried and discarded
before we got together the sixteen we
wanted."
Short Stay Neighborhoods.
A man who contemplated going intc
business for himself looked around for
a good location. He rejected the ad
vice of two friend3 who had suggested
neighborhoods which they thought de
slrable.
"I don't like either of the places," he
said. "Business can't be good around
there. I have passed through those
streets many times, and always I have
been struck with the frequency with
which the names on the shops are
changed. That doesn't look promising.
Wherever a man finds trade profitable
he tays contrariwise, he moves. None
of the short stay neighborhoods for
me."—New York Post.
Causes of Headache.
People get headache because they do
not take sufficient active exercise to
keep the blood circulating actively, be
oome excited and often about things
that do not concern them at all, neg
lect dally action of bowels, bathe In
cold water without wetting the head,
sleep on a low pillow, take too much
alcohol, allow the feet to get cold, take
iron and quinine when these drugs do
not agree with the system.—Pittsburg
Press.

The Return.
"I believe," said the cheery philoso
pher, "that for every single thing yoc
give away two come back to you."
"That's my experience," said Pham
ley. "Last .Tune I gave away my
daughter, and she and her husband
came back to us in August."
It often takes a lot of common sense
to get a man out of trouble a little
nonsense got him into.—Beaver (Okla.)

j- THE BOMBMAKER.
He Makes an Apparently Harmless
Letter Deadly Machine.
So expert are bombmakers nowadays
that an apparently harmless letter may
kill any person who tries to open it. A
piece of cardboard is cut to a size
which, when folded over, will lit into
an ordinary envelope. The four cor
ners of this are slit into narrow strips.
Fulminate of mercury is spread over
three of the slits, and the sheet is folded
and fastened together. Projecting from
each side of the folded sheet is a little
metal strip, or detonator, glued to the
cardboard in such a manner that the
envelope cannot be opened without
striking one of them. Upon meeting
this slight resistance the hand moving
the paper cutter instinctively pushes
harder, and the result is an explosion
that either kills or maims.
The easiest bomb to construct is set
in operation by simply turning it up
side down. It is usually a good skied
cracker box, lined with paper and half
filled with a mixture of chlorate of
potassium and ordinary sugar. Into
this a bottle of a powerful acid is in
troduced. The remainder of the space
In the box is filled with scraps of metal.
Then the lid is soldered on.
All that is then necessary is to place
the box upside down at the spot in
which it is to explode. The add eats
quickly through the cork of the bottle
and comes in contact with the chlorate
of potassium. As a result of the chem
ical combination which takes place
there is a terrific explosion.—Chicago
News.
THE ESPOUSAL
After them the articles of agreement
of marriage, called tabuloe matrimo
niales, which are mentioned by Augus
tine, were signed by both persons. Aft
er this the man delivered to the wom
an the ring and other gifts, an action
which was termed subarrhation. In
the latter ages the espousals have al
ways been performed at the same time
as the office of matrimony In all the
churches abroad, and it has long been
customary for the ring to be delivered
to the woman after the contract has
been made, which has always been in
the actual office of matrimony.
The ring is a special token of spous
age. In some of the old manuals for
the use of foreign cathedrals before
the minister proceeds to the marriage
he is directed to ask the woman's
dowiy—viz, the tokens of spousage—
and by these tokens of spousage are
to be understood rings or money or
some other things to be given to the
woman by the man, which giving is
called wedding or covenanting, espe
cially when It is done by the giving of
a ring.—New York Tribune.
Knew Him at Once.
There are other sure ways of bring
ing a man to mind besides mentioning
his name. Among the candidates who
were sent from Princeton to a Phila
delphia church was one young man
whose language was of the sort which
dazzles and delights the younger mem
bers of a congregation and sometimes
pleases the elders as well. In this case
the committee were besieged to ask
for the young man again, and they
consented, but unfortunately the man
to whose lot it fell to write the letter
had forgotten the candidate's name.
Nothing daunted, be wrote to one of
the seminary professors:
"Please send us that floweret, stream- I
let, rivulet, cloudlet, starlight and
moonbeam young man again. We've
forgotten his name, but we've no doubt
you'll recognize hiiri."
"We do," wrote the professor. And
the desired candidate was sent and
subsequently was called to the parish.
To Extract Essence From Flowers.
Procure a quantity of the petals of
any flowers that smell sweet and fra
grant. Take thin pieces of muslin or
fine linen, and after having dipped
them in good Lucca oil or Florence oil
place them as layers between the pet
als. Sprinkle a small quantity of fine
salt on the flowers and put a layer of
linen and a layer of flowers alternately
until an earthen vessel or wide mouth
ed glass bottle is full. Tie the top
over with oil silk or parchment, then
lay the vessel in a south aspect in the
heat of the sun, and in fifteen days,
when uncovered, a fragrant oil may be
squeezed away from the whole mass.
Stage Dressmaking.
Our plays are for the most part over
dressed, with extravagance, vulgarity
and inappropriateness obtaining In
place of artistic fitness. The new cos
tumes have to some extent frequently
undone the results of undress rehears
als, the actresses no longer represent
ing the drama as they did before the
dressmaker sent home their gowns,
while the variety of their impersona
tions Is swamped by the uniformity of
their fashions.—A. W. Pinero In Cos
tume.
Inconsistency.
"What is inconsistency?" asked the
curious one.
"Well," responded the wise one, "it
Is that spirit which moves a woman
whose sleeves stop at the elbow to
scold her husband because he hasn't
any cuffs on."—Chicago News.
Fortune gives many too much, but
no one enough.—Laberius.

Mutual
Ancient Ceremony of the
Promise of Marriage.
The first part of the matrimonial of
fice was anciently termed the espousal,
which took place some time prior to
the actual celebration of marriage.
These espousals consisted in a mutual
promise of marriage, which was made
by the man and woman before the
bishop or presbyter and several wit
nesses.
