An Unfortunate Combination.
The latest notion in the hoodoo line is
that the mustache of a man, carried
within the bodice of a woman, will insure)
rood luck. Is the mustache detached
Tom the face on which it grew? Why, of
course. Otherwise the fetish would ba
easy to get and awfully improper. But
to obtain a mustache all alone by itself is
mighty hard. Follows cultivate them so
elowly and reap the crop so rarely that a
genuine mustache, separated from its
lip, is a scarce artiole. Once In a while a
pretty girl may be able to coax an enam
ored chap to make a sacrifice of his hirsute
treasure, but usually one must depend on
a barber, in which case you never know
for certain that it is really a mustache
and not a partner of a side whisker or a
goatee, or even a cutting of an uncom
monly coarse scalp lock. I know a maiden
who obtained the desired mascot from a
devoted and betrothed dude. He called
on her again, and vowed he believed she
had already thrown his mustacfie away.
She produced it.
"Seems to me it is bigger than it was,"
he remarked.
"Indeed, it was a tiny little one when
you gave it to me," she shyly assented.
"And it is half composed of redder hair
than my mustache."
"Yes, so it is."
"Aha! I know. I saw Jim Brown to
day, and his mustache is gone. You've
got his and mixed it in with mine
"Do you mind?"
Did he mind? Jim Brown was his hated
rival. The combination hoodoo mustache
may bring good fortune to that girl, but
not in the form of marriage with that
enraged dude. He broke the engagement
off with a snap like a pipe stem. She will
have to get along the best way she can
with Jim.—Clara Belle's Letter
A Wedding in Honduras.
The Honduranian wedding is an event
of much ceremony, especially among the
richer people. It begins at 8 in the even
ing at the bride's home. All the relatives
and friends of both families are present.
The patio, with Japanese lanterns hun,

pomegTi
ding he:
as well as the house. The gay music
which has been- performed by the musi
cians for perhaps an hour now ceases, or
else the band go into the patio and play
very softly. The bridal party emerge
from private rooms. The mayor tppears.
The civil ceremony is begun and carefull/
gone through with. This done the cure

takes his place and performs a small part
of the religious service. After this the
cure goes away. Supper is partaken of,
and the ball begins. All night long the
music, the feasting, the champagne and
the dancing continue. At 4 in the mora.'
ing the cathedral bell is heard. Instantli
the merriment ceases. The bride ano
groom set out, heading a considerable
procession of friends ana relatives.
The priest meets them at the main en
trance of the cathedral. There is a brief
pause. The bride extends her hand anci
the groom places in it thirteen coins, re
peating the customary phrase—equlvalen
to "with my worldly goods I thee endow.'
The bride responds meetly. Then the
company, led by the cure, pass slowly to
ward the main altar and all kneel while
nuptial mass is celebrated. This con
cludes the ceremony. Bride and groom,
instead of departing on a wedding tour,
go at once to their new home, wnere a
remarkably fine wedding breakfast is im
mediately partaken of Dy the relatives
and most intimate friends.—Paul Roches

Washington on the Dismal Swamp.
s
Washington, in 1763, in his own words,
entered the Dismal swamp, and "encom
passed the whole." He camped on the
cast Bide of the lake, and unquestionably
considered the problem of its formation,
for he was astonished, end he astonished
others by declaring that all the rivers in
the swamp flowed oat of it instead of
into it.
"The Dismal swamp," wrote Washing
ton, "is neither a hollow nor a plain, but
a hillside." Be had discovered, what
measurement has since shown, that the
lake was twenty-three feet higher than
the sea.
Scientists have accounted for the water
in the Dismal swamp from cursory ob
servations, by the rainfall, even denying
the existence of springs in the lake. I
venture with mnch hesitation to disagree
with this conclusion, believing it to b«
impossible that the rainfall can aocount
for the enormous supply of water, not
only contained within tne swamp, but
which is, and always has been, flowing
out of it.
First, it is granted that no mare rain
falls on the Dismal swamp than on any
other piece of Virginia 40x80 miles square.
Second, it is certain thftt it does not draw
from the surrounding country, for it is
higher than all its environment.
Yet, out of the Dismal swamp run no
less than nine rivers, some of them very
considerable, and still the lake continue#
to overflow, and the whole vast extent of
the swamp remains inundated.—John
Boylo O'Reilly in Boston Herald.
Sickness Insurance fat Genaanf.
Sickness Insurance is meeting with Bonui
favor in Leipsic and other German cities.
The law authorizing the operation of such
companies permits the insurance to all
classes of hand workers except clerks and
salesmen, but these may be included by
local authority. The action of this law is
very noticeable in the tax for maintaining
the sick poor, it having decreased 21,673
marks in Hamburg in one year. The total
number insured under the law Is 4,394,173,
or 61.7 per 1,000 of tho population.^-Boa
