Loyd-Birdsong.
A pretty home wedding was that
of Miss Annie Loyd and Dr. Ira
Walker Birdsong, which took place
at the home of the bride’s parents,
Mr. and Mrs. James M. Loyd, at New¬
born, on the afternoon of April 27th.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. J. D. Milton. The bridal party
entered the parlor to the strains of
Mendelssohn’s wedding march, play¬
ed by Miss Nellie Pitts, and took
their places before an improvised al¬
tar of ferns and palms. First came
the little flower girls, Misses Eliza¬
beth Benton and Verde Hendrix. The
groom entered with his best man,Dr.
McRae, of Lakeland, Fla., and the
bride with her sister, Miss Ida Loyd,
who was her only attendant.
Dr. Birdsong is a successful young
druggist of Atlanta. Mrs. Birdsong,
as Miss Loyd, has endeared herself to
many through her many noble and
attractive qualities.
Dr. and Mrs. Birdsong left imme¬
diately for Atlanta, their future home

Too much mince pie had done tha

Little Maimie got a pain in her sash
and had to go to bed
The family physician and bis top
bat called and prescribed a pill. Mai
mie’s mother said very well, but the
family physician did not know Maimie.
and she was quite sure Maimie would
not take the pill. The family physi¬
cian said be would make it a sweet
pill, but Maimie’s mother replied thut
so long as it was a pill it would be
no use.
Then the family physician was
struck with a brilliant idea. The pill
should be craftily concealed in the
center of a preserved pear and sent
up to little Maimie to eat.
An hour later Maimie’s mother went
to see how her sweetest dear was
going on. She appeared to be going
on excellently.
“And did my pet eat all her pear?"
inquired the fond mother.
“Yes, mumsie,’’ replied the little dar
ling, “all but the nasty seed.”

Bituminous Coal.
The first bituminous coal mined in
the United States, states the United
States geological survey, was taken
from what is usually termed the Rich¬
mond basin, a small area in the south¬
eastern portion of Virginia, near the
city of Richmond. This basin is situ¬
ated on the eastern margin of tbe
Piedmont plateau, thirteen miles above
tidewater, on the James river. It lies
in Goochland, Henrico. Powhatan and
Chesterfield counties. The coal beds
are much distorted, and the coal is of
rather low grade when compared with
that from other districts with which
It has to come into competition. The
occurrence of coal was known in tbe
Richmond basin as early as 1700, and
in 1789 shipments were made to some
of the northern states. At present
what little coal is produced in this
field is for local consumption only.—

Movement of Icebergs.
In the investigation of the currents
round the coast of Newfoundland it
has been observed that there is at
times a wide difference in the direction
of the drift of icebergs and that of the
flat or pan ice, which, having no great
depth, is governed in its motions by
the surface currents and the winds,
whereas the icebergs, the larger parts
of which are submerged to a great
depth, follow only the movement of
the ocean water as a whole and are
uninfluenced by the winds. In conse¬
quence a huge berg may often he
seen majestically maintaining its slow
advance in opposition to the wind and
across tbe general motion of the fields
of flat ice surrounding it. The sealers
often take advantage of this fact by
mooring their vessels to an iceberg
in order to prevent a drift to leeward.

Hunting the Kangaroo.
When brought to bay the kangaroo
Jump* like a flash for the hunter’s
chest and tries to crush it in with his
fore feet. To prevent this each man
wears across his breast a two or three
inch thick matting. Armed with a
spear, with a club attachment at the
other end, they ride upon swift horses
into a herd. With the agility and equi¬
poise of circus riders they stand erect
upon their horses and use their spears
and clubs.
The kangaroo is able to jump clear
over a horse. As the game is bagged
it is skinned, and the skin is stretched
on the ground and pegged down to pro
vent shrinkage. The flesh furnishes
meat for the camp. Each man places
his private mark upon his booty, and
when they have 100 apiece they return
hack to ci vilization
