When Israel I.ane returned from the wedding of David Fletcher, who Is known in the Balmy creek country as a mighty hunter, he immediately sought the village store, where the bridegroom's cronies were gathered, waiting for news of the ceremony. “Well,” said one of the number, “bow'd it go off?” “Pret' fair, thanks to me," replied Israel. “What’d you do?” demanded anoth er. “I saved parson considerable of a shock and Marne some blushes," said Israel, with calm satisfaction. “Just before they was ready to stand up Id the parlor I says to Dave—l don't know what made me; guess It was meant to be—l says, T.e's see your license.’ “Well, Dave handed It <iver, and 1 discovered It was a huimng license. ‘What’s this?* I says, handing It back. ‘You ain’t got to bunt any longer; you’ve got her.’ “It seems," concluded Israel, “that Dave Just said he ‘wanted a license,’ and of course the clerk thought he wanted the usual kind.’’—Youth's Com panion. Old Time English Campaign Arts. Purely from the picturesque point of view one may regret the bands and banners which used to help to en liven old time elections. Take the first contests of two great men. Dis raeli, we read, approached Wycombe In a four horse carriage and was met a mile outside the town by bands, banners and a crowd, with whom he made a triumphal entry. “The can didate kissed his hand or blew kisses to all the females who were at the windows." And this Is a description of Glad stone’s first campaign at Newark by one who took part in It; “We started on the canvass at 8 In the morning and worked at It for about ulnfe hours with a great crowd, band and flags and innumerable glasses of beer and wine all Jumbled together; then a din ner of thirty or forty with speeches and songs unfit, say, 10 o’clock; then we always played a rubber of whist, and about 12 or 1 I got to bed and not to sleep.”— London Times. The Scorpion’* Wonderful Ear. I hare studied the habits of the scorplou for many years and have often noticed how very sensitive scor pions are to the most delicate sound, musical or otherwise. Under the tho rax the scorpion has two comblike appendages, which are the antennae (pectinatae). it is pretty well settled by physiologists and entomologists that in insects the antennae represent the organs of hearing. These delicate structures are easily affected by the vibrations of sound, and tbere can be no doubt whatever that they are also affected by sounds quite Inaudible to the human ear. The slightest vibra tion of the atmosphere from any cause whatever at once puts in motion the delicate structures which compose the antennae, to which organs Insects owe the power of protecting themselves against danger as well as the means of recognizing the approach of one another.—Loudon Spectator. First Justice to Wear Gown. “Few people, 1 venture to say, even in high otllciat positions, know what Justice first wore the gown in the su prerne court of the United Slates," said on the subject recently, John Jay look the of lie members of I lie su . wear gowns of appeared Ideli lie ■gfeedii \ Their Old Stories. A man who never could tell a story; Joined a story tellers' club that thought it had a corner on the humor of the universe. The man got along very; well so long as he didu’t have to aajr anything, but tbere came a time wbets he was put on the program for m humorous story, and then his wife coached bin) for a week beforehand o» one of her own funniest stories. When he came home from the story telling contest she asked him how things went. He said: “I‘retty well. AH the other fellows told some mighty good ones.” Then he gave a synopsis of the good ones the other fellows had told. “Darned clever, those chaps are," he said. “I don’t know what they would think of me IT they knew 1 had learned my story from a woman. They don't tbinlt much of a woman's sense of humor.” “You needn’t let that worry you. dear,” she said sweetly. “1 have heard the other fellows' wives tell their old stories at card parties for the last five years.”—New York' I’ress. Where Knowledge Was Blia*. A certain professor of histology wln> delivers lectures In one of the eastern colleges Is not averse to a quiet bit of diversion on the side, as instance his wife’s discovery. ■> “See here, Robert,” said she to the doctor as she fumbled in his pockets after bis late arrival home, “what are all these red, white and blue disks 1 find here In your pocket?” “Eh? Yes—why—those— are—that is —I use—ch—l mean disks—to illustrate my lectures on the blood. You see. the white ones represent the white cor puscles and the red ones the red cor puscles of the blood." “And, pray, what do the blue ones represent?" “Eh? The blue ones? Oh—yes—h'm! Why—or—certainly—they represent the corpuscles of the venous blood." Well, maybe she believed him and maybe—well, be quit playing poker, at any rate.—Harper's Weekly. Keeping the Ftecfge. “Your honor,” pleuded a woman in a police court, “1 am the mother of six. children. Lust week this man came home, and be did not give me a cent of his week’s pay. Ever since that time he has been doing nothing but drink, and he won’t work, so 1 want you to give him a good long sentence." “Your honor,” said the man, "if you’ll let me go this time I'll sign the peldge for five years and”— “Don’t you let him do It, Judge," hot ly broke in the woman. “1 was easy with him last time, and he took the pledge, but didn’t keep it." "Sure, your honor, I did keep it.” said the man. “Yes, your honor, he kept it all right,” broke lu the woman again. “He swore that he wouldn't drink any more whisky, but the next night ho came home drunk on beer.”—Philadel phia Telegraph. Music of the Blood. Have you ever heard your blood? Have you ever put one of those large seashclls to your ear and heard what the children say is the sound of the sea, the "music of the waves?” Well, that is really the sound of your blood —as It circulates—echoed In the empty shell. You can bear It sometimes when your head is on a pillow, but it does not sound musical then. Try the shell at any time and you will find that your blood Is always Cowing. Stick your thumb in your ear and lis ten. That is nature’s way of constant ly carrying the nourishment from well digested food to every part of your body.
