THE WEDDING JOURNEY.
The Bride Always Has a Just Right
to One.
She Hay Have Lived a Seeleded Life, a*d
Should at Thia Time Be Qivee a
Chance to See What the
World la Like.
It is witl many people a much
debated question whether or not
they shall go upon a wedding
journey. In most cases they decide
that they will, but It often nappens
that there is a great deal of opposi
tion to this. People think it foolish,
wasted time and money and all that,
but when one comes to consider the
matter soberly, a wedding journey
is well worth while, and the bride
who insists upon it has a certain
amount of right and justice in her
claim. She may have lived a very
quiet and secluded life, have seen
little or nothing of the world, and
this occasion may be one of the first
that has ever presented itself when
she could reasonably go out and see
what the world is like. It is all
very well to say she can go again,
but in most cases there come cares
and responsibilities that effectually
shut her In for years to come; per
haps never again during her lifetime
.can she go about with absolute
freedom from anxiety and the
burdens of life; so it must be
said give the young bride her
wedding journey; let her enjoy it
to the full; It will be some
thing to remember, an event
quite worth while, even though she
never go again, something to think
of, possibly, when she has grand'
children to amuse. “When grand
pa and I went on our wedding trip”
will be the text for many a dis
course, the theme of many an inter
ested and interesting conversation.
When there is sufficient means the
trip should be taken to some plaee
of note, some locality remarkable
for its attractiveness or as a memo
rial of the past, and time should be
given, time to comprehend it thor
oughly. It was said of one young
couple who went to Washington on
their wedding trip that they went
one day, remained one day and came
back the next, and that it rained all
the time they were there, and in
after years when asked what they
knew about Washington thej' were
forced to say that they did not leave
the hotel from the time they en
tered it upon their arrival until they
went out to take the train for home.
This sort of a wedding trip is scarce
ly worth the trouble; it is the shadow
of a journey with nothing substan
tial to mark it.
There is so much to see in this
world of ours that it seems a pity to
allow any opportunity to pass un
improved by careful study of all the
points of Interest attaching to the
place.—-N- Y. Ledger.
A Disappointed Visitor.
“I hope you have enjoyed your
visit to the city,” said a New Yorker
to Uncle Jabez Sassafras, of Quo
hOfK. _.
“Well, no; I can’t say a* I have."
“What was the trouble?”
“Well, for one thing, you New
Yorkers don't know how to treat
strangers. Leastway, your news
papers don’t.”
“Don t they?"
“No. Now, there wasn’t a paper
in this yer city that said I was In
town.”
“No?"
“It’s a fact. I looked In every
one of them expectin’ to see a para
graph that ‘Mr. Jabez Sassafras, one
of the prominent citizens of Quo
hosh, is fayorjng our city with hi?
presence. We understand that Mr.
Sassafras is a justice pf the peace in
his town, and one of the solid men of
the place. Come again, Mr. Sas
safras.’ "
“Didn't any qf the papers say
‘ 'No, sir, not ene. That is what the
Bugle would have said, if any of you
New Yorkers had visited Quohosh,
but you don’t appear to appreciate
the good it does your town to have
strangers coma to it. I shan’t come
no more.”
And Uncle Jabez Sassafras went
to the station and bought his ticket
home, and the city editors of the
New York papers when they learned
the fact forthwith hanged themselves
on the sour apple trees most ad
jacent to their respective offices.—

WOMEN AND CHEWING GUM.
A Habit That Is Destructive of Their Beau
ty Growing Upon the Fair Ones.
A philosopher has explained in
The Sun the buying of chewing gum
by men on the theory that they get
it for girls. As a rule, that may be
so, since most of those addicted to
chewing gum seem to be women.
But undoubtedly it is to some extent
a masculine habit also. Several men
prominent in public affairs are re
ported as gum chewers.
As practiced by women, we regret
to say, it shows no signs of decline,
even if it has not actually become
more prevalent. A very large part
of the penny-in-the-slot machines
still turn out chewing gum, and ob
servers in the street cars, on the ele
vated roads and even at the thea
ters tell us that of late they have
discovered indications that its use by
women is extending at an alarming
rate. After having fallen off from
its first prevalence apparently, they
report, it now seems to be reviving
and to be more frequent than ever.
The habit, they say, is not confined
to girls, but has obtained a strong
hold on matrons also, and many of
them women well beyond the period
of youth.
This is very remarkable, consider
ing how careful women are of appear
ances and especially to make the
most of their own good looks, since
nothing detracts more from beauty
than the continual movement of the
jaws in chewing gum. It takes
away the charm from the prettiest
girl, yet she will go on with her pub
lic gum chewing without the slight
est apparent consciousness that she
is distorting her features. At any
rate she is careless as to the matter.
The practice seems to breed in her a
curious indifference to masculine
favor. As she chews she seems to
be absorbed in the chewing to such
an extent that the natural feminine
instinct of pleasing is stifled in her.
She appears to have reached the pass
where, if she have the solace of
chewing gum, she can get along
without men's admiration for the
time being, and that time is nearly
continuous, since phe chews almost
incessantly, we are told, in her mo
ments of activity and in her inter
vals of leisure.
It is observed, too, that men, hav
ing no other resource, are humbly
accommodating themselves to this
distracting gum chewing habit of
women. Instances are reported to
us where jnep have actually been
seen making loyo to who wej-e
chewing gum. Poor fellows, they
had to be content with the sliare of
the maiden's interest which was left
over from the gum chewing. Un
doubtedly, too, in order to win fa
vor, they even supply the gum to
the pirls, though it is for them so
distressing a rivaj gnd SQ great gq
obstacle to the concentration pf
thought requisite for lovemaking.
According to recent and very in
telligent estimates, as many as one
tenth of the human family indulge
in chewing the betel nut of the
east. This betel nut, however, seems
to have some intrinsic potency as a
stimulative of the digestive organs,
or so it is surmised. But is there any
thing pleasurable or useful in chew
ing gum beyond the mere exercise of
the jaws? What, then, is the philos
opiiybrthLj-KCWitAirerican habit,
for in its prevalence it is new, and -
why should it have so pernicious a
fascination for women especially,
though it mars their beauty and thus
violates the dictates of the universal
instinct of women to enhance their
charms for the captivation of mascu
line admiration? —New York Sun.
The Grace W»» Too Lone.
There is a little chap up on Price
hill who will make trouble in religious
circles some of these days if he is not
systematically trained in “the way
he should go." He was over at his
grandfather’s for dinner yesterday
knd sat buckled in the pld high chair
ready for the onslaught. His grand
father, a reverent old gentleman and
qne pf the worthiest in the world,
bent his snowy head and began hi &
lengthy grace.
never relishes those famous
graces at best, and when, just in the
middle of this extra long ono for
company, the old gentleman paused
deliberately and yawned several tedi
ous times, the infant could stand it
no longer. Leaning over he tapped
him on the arm with his big spoon
and whispered energetically:
“Det a move, dranpa—det a move
for dracious sake—l’s hungry as a
bear!"

The Revengeful Alligator.
The Trinidad Field Naturalist’s
Club Magazine has an interesting pa
per by Mr. S. Devenish on alligator
shooting in that island, where it is
vulgarly supposed that if any one
touches an alligator's nest he» in
great danger from the “maman cai
man”—mother alligator. Once while
surveying on the left bank of the
Caroni Mr. Devenish came on a nest
and was deserted by his men. Being
armed with bowie knife and cutlass,
he demolished the nest and took some
of the eggs to hatch near a fountain
in his garden. After a few days the
|ittlp alligators appeared, “still ad
hprtog to the shells by their umbil
jpal ponds, briskly showing fight when
approached, dragging their shells be
hind them and rushing with cgien
jaws at anything presentixl to them
and madly biting it.”

A MAM WHO WAS REAL SAVING.
lie Appeared Terribly Mean to an Observ
er, but He Had a Good Heart.
“I once traveled for a mill building,
company as expert miller,” said F.
M. Tatlow of The Southwestern Mil
ler. "My business was to visit mills
the company had constructed, put
them in operation and get an accept
ance. In this line I once went to a
western town to start up a remodeled
mill, and about the first thing I fig
ured out was that in the proprietor
of the mill I had struck “the mean
est man.” I went into his office for
a match to light a lantern, and he
took the lantern from my hand and
went down to the furnace, lit it with
a splinter and brought it back to me.
If he saw a bent nail on the floor, he
would pick it up, straighten it and
put it in the nailbox; if the nail was
broken, he would throw itin a scrap
iron box he kept near by. Once 1
saw him pick up a single grain of
wheat from the floor and throw it in
the grain hopper, saying, ‘lt was in
danger of being stepped on and
ruined.’
“In mill operating the miller fre
quently samples flour by putting an
ounce or more on a paddle prepared
for the purpose and smoothing it out
with an ivory trier, and sometimes
these samples are dipped in water to
indicate color when the flour is made
into dough. Through familiarity with
this work millers oftentimes become
careless in regard to samples and will
scrape the remains of the dry flour
off the board on to the floor, and the
wet sample is of course ruined. When
I began to sample the flour of the new
mill, he wanted to know if I ‘couldn’t
just as well put the dry flour back in
the chest and use smaller samples for
dipping.’ I put him down in my
mental memorandum as bad and con
stantly growing worse, and I insti
tuted a little inquisition by testing
the flour oftener and using larger
samples and forced the punishment
to the limit.
“Late one evening the old man and
I were standing near the mill talking
when two little boys came from the
mill, and the smaller of the two was
crying bitterly. 'What’s the matter,
my son?' asked the pld man. 'What
are you crying about?’ Tm cryin
'cos I ain't gointogit no supper ’ said
the little thing. ‘And why are you
not going to have some supper ?’ ‘ 'Coe
ma ain’t got no flour nor no money to
buy it with, and they won't let us
have any at the mill.’ ‘Come back to
th© mill with me, and I will see about
that,' said the old man. And taking
them into the mill, he put as much
flour in their sack as the elder boy
could carry, put their name on the
order book for a sack next day and
sent them away happy.
“I looked at him in amazement and
asked, ‘Don’t it break your heart to
do anything like that —saving as you
‘My friend,' said he, 'you mis
judge me. If it were not for the
strictest economy, I would not be able
to do anything at all for the helpless
and needy; I am to give to the poor
all I save by frugality.’ I afterward
learned that of all the big hearts in
the place his was the biggest and
whitest. The most generous man in
town,' said all who knew him.”—St.
Louis Republic.
Kite Flying In China.
It would create a sensation in St.
.Louis if Mayor Walbridge or Con
grmuflau Joy were to appear in the
streets or on the roofs of their houses
flying kites, but this ’pflStime belongs
essentially to adults in the oricßt.
When I was in China, I was amazed
at first at seeing graybeards flying
kites. I never saw children playing
with them there, the nearest to a
“kid” at the sport being a young man
al>out 20 years, and. he seemed awk
ward and out of place. The chief
pleasure of the kite flyer in China is
to engineer the toy so as to tangle up
and pull down some other fellow's
kite.
Iphe kites are shaped to resemble
birds, dragons, etc., and are sent to
a wonderful height. The American
poy isn't as muah of p kitebuilder as
he was. He doesn't sit to? hours
whittling, scissoring and pasting as
We of a previous generation did.
Kites are made in factories now, and
they can be bought so cheaply at the
oondy, toy and stationery shops for
a few pennies that no boy cares to
make one.—St. Louis Giobe Demo

A strange arrival lately took place
at Barcelona. An old man of 90,
who had left the town in bis youth
to seek his fortune in America, reap

been married three times and
brought back to Barcelona with him

whom were widowers and others
married; 34 granddaughters, some

SHE ASSERTED HER RIGHTS.
When It Caaid to l ighting Over Them, the
HiiKbund Ilnd to Take u Hand.
“When it conies right down to the
question of absolute equal rights be
tween men and women,” said one of
a little group of world movers din
ing at an up town hotel the other
evening, "there arise some curious
complications. Equal rights of course
imply equal responsibilities, equal
risks, equal hardships.
“I witnessed one of the oddest and
perhaps most extreme eases of this
kind last summer at a seaside resort.
At the table nearest mine in the din
ing room of our hotel there sat a
man and his wife, who were spend
ing the season there, and with them
the evening in question were two or
three acquaintances.
“When my attention was attract
ed to their conversation, it was evi
dently at its climax, for words were
flying hot and loud, the chief con
testants being the gentleman's wife
and one of the acquaintances. Ido
not know what was or had been the
ground of their dispute, but that it
was a furious and deep seated one
was too evident The lady especial
ly was excited and aggressive. She
was known as a ‘woman’s rights
woman,’ a reformer, a philanthropist
and independent generally.
“Her eyes were blazing, her cheeks
flaming, and she ‘called down’ her
gentlemanly antagonist with a vim
unpardonable and —if it had been be
tween two men—not to be wiped out
by anything else than blood. The
husband had remonstrated several
times, but had been waved aside as a
mere looker on. At last, her words
and accusations becoming unendur
able, the gentleman sprang from his
seat, and losing his temper threw
down his napkin in front of the
lady; saying, ‘Madam, you are a
woman, and I can neither fight nor
insult you, but by the eternal rights
of mankind if you have a husband,
father, brother or any other chain
pion or henchman I call him to ac
count for this!’
“By this time of course the whole
room was interested in the affair,
and the proprietor of the hotel indig
nantly inquired the cause of and ex
cuse for such an exhibition. Then
the husband rose to the occasion.
Calmly taking the gentleman's chai
lenging napkin from in front of his
wife's plate, he tossed it in her antag
onist's face and said:
“ ‘Sir, I am the lady’s husband, her
father, brother, champion and hench
man ! I answer your charge and will
settle this thing when, where and
how you please—though, understand
me, I fully agree with you in the
issue taken between you and utterly
condemn my wife as wrong in her
premises and conclusions.’ ”
The narrator pushed fiis chair back,
drained his glass, and looking from
one to another of bis listeners asked.
“Now, gentlemen, what are we go
ing to do when that order of things
is inaugurated?”
And they crooned in chorus.—New

A devout woman of this city was
recently sick, as her family and
friends believed, unto death. She
had made her preparations and was
daily awaiting her end with patient
resignation. Her hours of suffering
were cheered by the glimpses of the
unseen world that came to her, and
one day she called to her attendants
who were grouped about her in hour
ly anticipation of her decease: “Oh,

in the sickroom, th en an involun

Woodeu Money In Fu;;land.
Wooden money in tho shape cf ex
chequer tallies was, prior to the es
tablishment of the Bank of England
in 1691, current in this country.' Tal
lies was the name given to the notched
sticks formerly in use in England for
keeping the accounts of the ex
chequer. They were square rods of
hazel or wills w, inscribed on one side
with notches indicating the sum for
which the tally was an acknowledg
ment and on two other sides with
the sum in Roman characters.
When the transaction was com
pleted, the tally recording it was
split lengthwise, so that each section
contained a half of each notch and
one of the written sides. One half,
called the tally or check, was given
to the person for whose service it
was intended, the other half, called
the counter' tally, was retained in the
exchequer until its corresponding
tally should be brought it by the per
son who had last given value for it.
It thus became a current token

A Young Writer’s Mistake.
She was a young newspaper wom
an, and one day early in her career
in a certain newspaper office in this
city she brought in some copy for the
Sunday issue. It was late for use in
the department where her work ap
peared, and it was remarked to her
that it would have to wait over. She
was anxious it should go in for some
reason and urged it a little. "There
isn’t anybody up stairs now to set it
up,” she was told, “and, besides, that
page is all made up."
This was rather vague to her, ex
cept that a typesetter was needed.
She hesitated; then a bright thought
struck her.
She turned away, and the man to
whom she had been talking thought
no more of the matter.
In about an hour she came back
with a couple of proofs of her copy.
She had taken it down to a little job
printing office she recalled having
seen in her traveling about the
neighborhood, had it set up and a
couple of copies run off, and these
she brought proudly back to the ed
itor, thinking that she had success
fully overcome all obstacles to its
immediate use.

Unregulated Passenger Traffic.
A railroad man—that is, a conduct
or or brakeman—sometimes makes
from 18 cents to $lO extra by collect
ing fares in box cars from gentlemen
who are not hankering after noto
riety, but who are going from one
settlement to another as quietly as
possible so as not to get their names
in the paper. A dollar will carry a
man a long way in a box car, al
though it does not give him the priv
ilege of suing the company in case of
an accident.
Well regulated crews divide the
train into two equal parts. The head
brakeman has the first half of the
train, the hind brakeman has thelat
ter half and the conductor gets the
caboose fares, which he sometimes
divides with the company, but con
ductors have been discharged for be
ing too honest in that respect. Train
tn>eFor&.igsr’.Utendents and general
managers have most'' of -them Ciaafe
menced by carrying water to the sec
tion crews and wound their way up
on the brakeman and conductor lad
der, and they don’t like to see old
landmarks destroyed or adulterated

The Despised Left Head.
Jhe despised left hand makes good
Its plgims in many cases to be the
defter of the two. The fingers that
touch and adjust with such nicety
the strings of the violin are surely as
cunning as those that move the bow.
The hand that guides the reins and
steers with exactness the horse
through the crowded streets is quite
as cunning as, one might say much
more than, the hand that wields the
whip. But great is fashion; unan
swerable is theory.
It would appear that as life becomes
more and more complex we are be
coming more and more specialized,
and the difference between our lim

| A Gentle Hint,
> The attorney bad made a motion
for a new trial in a civil action, and
I the judge looked it over carefully.
[ “Um,” he said thoughtfully, "um.
This sets forth that the verdict was
I unsupported by the evidence, was
, contrary to the evidence, was against
t the weight of the evidence, and that
the evidence was insufficient to sup
port the verdict as to any or all of
the issues, because of errors of the
justice in admitting and excluding
evidence, errors of law in the in
■ structions to the jury, improper con
i duct on the part of counsel for the
1 caveator in addressing the jury and
in bills of exceptions."
“Yes, your honor," replied the at
torney.
1 “And do you believe it?”
“Certainly I do.”
“Well, well,” and the judge grew
sympathetic, “it’s a pity that the
judge and attorneys and officials and
jury and witnesses in that court
don’t know as much as you do. It
really is, because if they did it would
save me a great deal of worry and
bother. Wouldn’t you like to have
9 job as court instructor or some
thing of that sort?"—Detroit Free

An Impediment to Dancing.
Among a number of young men
who were recently visiting the dty
was one who has a lively sense of
humor and an impediment in his
speech. A german wus given in their
honor, and the hostess observed that
this particular young man did not
dance.
“I am surprised not to see you
dancing,” she said “Don’t you care
fur it?"
“Oh, y-yee," he replied.
“Then why haven’t you gotten a
partner and joined in the amuse
ment?”
“W-w-well," he explained, "it’s
th-this way. I h-h-have tried several
t-t-times. B-b-but b-by the t-time I
have s-succeeded int-telling ag-g-girl

Robbing the Pawnbroker.
A man has been found who is able
to get the best of pawnbrokers. He
is a smooth individual, flashing dia
monds and fine clothes. He enters a
shop and offers to pawn a watch
worth atout S2OO. He agrees to let it
go up for SSO, and the pawnbroker is
glad to get it at the price. While the
proprietor of the shop is getting the
money, the man cleverly substitutes
another watch exactly similar in ap
pearance to the first one, but with a
possible market value of $2. He gets
the money and vanishes. One pawn-
