REMEMBERING The MARRIAGE DAY.-It has
been said that an ldeal marriage should be
constant courtship. |, is reported that there is
= man in New Jersey who carries this theory
into practice. He insists on having his marriage
ceremony repeated every year, going through
the whole ceremony of q new dress for his wife,
dinner to his trends, sc. Every man can't sf-
ford to indulge in such a luxury as a yearly
wedding, but it would gladden. the hearts aud
brighten the lives of many faithful wives if the
marriage day were little more often remem-
bered by their husbands.

CHLoROFoRM AZ 4 CRIMINAL AGENT.-It has
been remarked by persons acquainted with the
uses and effects of chloroform that, accounts Of
large robberies performed on Unconscious sleep
ers by means of this agent should be received
with many doubts. 1t is claimed that not in
one csse out Of one hundred cases will an indi-
vidual, even when willingly submitting to the
inhalation of chloroform, go of quietly into a
state of lethsrgy and belplessness. 1t would
seem, therefore, next to impossible for robbers to
put people to sleep" with chlorofOrm after the
fashion so often described in criminal records

Mr.. took his daughter upon his knees and
informed her of the loss, telling her that this

she was poor mans child.
The little girl was of course affected at the

fathers sorrow. All at once, however, she
frightened up and smiling through her tears,
and with her arms entwined around her faith
