A Quaker W ed ding.

The Cincinnati Nonpareli gives
the following acco unit Of a Quaker
wedding, which recently took place
in that city:
Half an hour wa pass scd in solemn
silence, at the end Of which Il ime the
bride and bridegroom rose, facing the
audience, the bridegroom pronounc-
ing the following words:
Il, in the presence OF God, and oi
this assembly, take this woman to be
my welded wife, promising, with di-
vine assistance, to be to her a faith
ful and loving husband. q IS long as we
both shall live
The bride then ina vol &c sol lnewhat
Galtering, repeated a similar deelara-
ton, and both sat down.
Two young SWen of the society
then placed before them q shlal Il table
containing a huge parchpl lent scroll,
which they opened, and IN presence
of the assembly the brid and bride
groom affixed their signa aturef. An
elder of the church tn EN- read the
document aloud to the audience 1t
set forth that the part les had at a
regular monthly meeting preceding,
signifed their intention Of marriage,
that the society had approved Of the
same, and that by their joint decla-
rations and signatures, they had ar
rived at a ''full accomplishment Of
their intentions" He then stated
that all Friends were invited to sign
as witnesses after the close Of the
meeting.
After a few minutes more Of 81
lence the newly married couple sud-
denly rose and left the church, and
were followed by the who lie congrega-
ton. The audience was well pleased
with the ceremony, which we think
was tho most suitable we Over wit
messed.

Spanish Etiqnette.

SO sacred, at one time, were the
feet of their Alajesties, the Queens of
Spain, that to think Of them was a
Ipeccadillo, to speak Of them an out
rage, and to touch them capital of

bride of Philip ", arriving in Spain
was presented with a parcel Of silk
stockings by the stock ING manufac-
turers of city where she rested
Her major-domo; swelling with honest
indignation, flung tRe stockings
away, cxclaiming "K now that the
Queens of Spain hay ve no feet?''

bride bursting into tears, IF l had

|. How TO Dir -lw THE. SiNSERs.-Sey-
eral years ago we were a resident of
northwestern Louisiana, near the
confines Of TeEas. The people there,
las a general thing, were not much
given to religion. A young itine-
rant preacher happeneQ along in the
neighborhood during this dearth of
religion, and set about repairing the
walIs.of Zion in good earnest. Bat
his success was poor. Not over half
a dozen could be got together at his
Sunday meeting. Determined, how
ever, to create an interest before
leaving the neighb6rho6d he procured
some printed .handbilk, and had I'll rem
posted up in @sry conspicuous pl hce
in the district, which read to the fol-
lowing effect >

permitting. Between the services,
the preacher will run his sorrel mare,
Julia, against any nag tilat can be
trotted out in this region; for a parse
Of five hundred dollars.
This had the desired effect. Peo-
pie flocked from all quarters and the
anxiety to SCI the singular preacher,
was even greater than the excitement
following Ills challenge He preached
an elegant sermon in the morning;
aftef dinner be brought ont his.mare
fo4 the race. The purse was made
up BY five or six planters, and an op-
posing nag produced. The preacher
rode his little sorrel and won the
day, amid deafening shouts, screams
and yells Of the delighted people.
The congregation all remained to the
afternoon service, and at the close,
more than /, 20 hundred joined the
church, som for motives Of SINGER
ity, sol be 70 the novelty Of the
thing, some from excitement and
some because the preacher-in the
unrefned language of the country,

AN INTERESTING DEelsIoN.-A 4
case which may prove interesting
to persons interested in Insurance
Companies, came before the Supf-
rior Court of New York City dtl-
ring the present term. Mr.. Henry
Beckett claimed to have effected ali
insurance on the 9Th Of June, 1913,
at the office Of the Columbus ins''-
rance Company, for $1,000, on the
Patterson Nlachin5 Co.'S Works, at
Paterson, n. j., which were burnt
on the 2Sth of the same month
1T appeared that the risks had
been entered as taken, on the lnsu-
rance Co.'s books, and policy made
out and executed, but not dclivered
and ths premium notpaid It was
contendel by plaintiff that a Com
pany assumes the risk when S b ma
king an agreement, leaving the pol,
icy to he made out, and the Prcml-
um paid afterwards. This " as de-
MED by the Company; and it al go set
up that Slr. II. said the risk S should
not be effective until the premium
hadbeen paid. This was disclaim-
ed on the part Of plaintiff. The
Court held that an agreement for IN
surance is void unless the premium
is paid. The complaint was as
missed, and appeal taken.
