A Ride aud Her Doubie.

The woful predicament in which a
Chinese would be bridegroom found him
self is thus described by a Yokohama
(Japan) correspondent of the Cleveland
Herald. $3.50 le s19a1 a.
A very curious story comes to us from
China. A bride was on her way in a
sedan chair from the house of her par
ents to her husbands abode. Passing
through graveyard, the bearers of the
chair noticed that their burden grew
heavier. This, however, they ascribed
to fatigue On reaching the bride
groom's house, though, what was the
dismay of the honest folk to fnd, on
opening the chair, two brides instead of
one--two thick, span-new brides, alike
even to hairpin.
Confusion reigned, polygamy was i'm
minent. Better counsel prevailed, how.
ever, and the about to be mother-in-law
appeared and instituted searching in.
vestigation But even maternal eyes
and instinct failed. and the old lady was
obliged to give it up in despair, being
hea,d to declare, sotto voce, that she
never knew that girl was twins be.
fore. Just at this moment bright
thought occurred to the father. He re.
membered that this girl was what the
Chinese call a rip snorter at weaving
aud he forthwith suggested that the two
girls be set to spinning, and the one
who came out last be declared to be
"tother." No sooner said than done.
The girls were put in separate rooms,
and the materials for spinning placed
at hand. The doors were locked, and
watch and ward kept over them by the
anxious parents and all the old ladies Of
the neighborhood. da
When the day was done the doors were
opened and the work examined. Won
der of wondersl Both girls had done
the same amount; neither had thread
more nor less than the other The poor
father pulled his pig tail, and tramped
about in very indiscriminate way, while
the mother sat down disconsolately in
corner and addressed the assembled
company as "hhssy." At last accounts
the matter was still in very mixed con-
dition. Nobody is able to tell which is
which, and the would-be bridegroom, un-.
willing to cast himself away on dupli
cate, has gone to California to ease his
aching heart in the " washing pigeon "
at San Francisco. The Master Of
Heaven has been ummoned to drive
away the devil that hauhts the bride. In
view OF this true and vetacious history,
who will say that life is not dream, and
who is willing to cast a first stone at our
Puritan ancestors of Salem witchcraft
memory

Marshal COncha.

The late Marshal Concha was thus
described few days before his death,
by G London Times correspondent
Happily it seems that Marshal Concha
inspires an extraordinary terror in
every one. he wants everything done
we'll, and looks after everything himself
He asks doctor to breakfast and pumps
him thoroughly as to the minute of his
arrangements. He asks commissariat
officer to dinner, and causes him an at
tack of Indigestion by cross questioning.
He has way Of showing young officers
what they shoald do by telling them
what he used to do when he was young.
Concha is decidedly nuisance to any
subordinate who does not do his duty
properly, and hence every one breads
his presence. In this respect he is quite
an exception to the rule of Spanish gen.
erals. He seems to me to treat a com
mon soldier with more kindness than he
does an officer. He never gives any
notice when he intends departing nor,
once be is on the march, does he give
any hint where he is going, or what he
intends to do. and every person around
him takes very good care not to put the
question"

is that glance, and all the tender
passionate poesy which came from
il, that Avignon is about to cele-
srate in this the Ave hundreth year since
the death of the Italian lover. And
Avignon undoubtedly does wisely even
in the present unromantic age to make
a great occasion of the anniversary, for
that same chance meeting in the church
gave to the Italian language such lyric
verse as the world will never let die. IL
helped to FIX the Tuscan tongue in its
final sweetness, variety and grace,
far better than all the academies aad
grammarians could have done; it
opened to lovers forever a gold mine of
eloquent and exquisite faneies; it made
Avignon more universally known than
all her other historical and wa1like
glories, and it rendered the Provencal
lady of that place so famous that the
whole continent talked about her. Vau-
clus and Avignon became spots of pill
grimage for Laurs's sake.

z The Gartenlaube publishes an anus
ing article on the theatrical claque in
Berlin, in which the following is related
about Mile Vestvali, the female Ham
let: g"She wanted to have bouquets and
wreaths thrown to her. / demanded
twenty dollars for it, which she said was
too much for one night. But / ex-
planned the whole thing to her. Mad
anne, | said, the twenty dollars are
sufficient for two nights. To-day / and
my men will throw the bouquets to you
from the first tier. After the perform
ance is over / shall take the flowers
home with me in basket, put them in
water and leave them there all night and
the following day. Tomorrow night no
one in the audience will find out that
the bouquets have been used before.

FORE go without their remedy. They

the amount. A postoaice money order

They must also state whether they wish

The expense of living here is less than
at any other watering place in the coun-
try. George Hopes, the proprietor Of
the large hotel at the springs, advertises
at the following rates: So per day and
Sl5 per week during July and August. J
These are remarkable figures when it is
considered that the hotel is as well kept
as any at Saratoga, Newport or Long
Branch. But there are a dozen hotels in
the town close by, where persons may
live at almost any price desirable.

soHESCK's SEA WEED ToNIo.--In the atmos-
phere experienced here during the summer
months, the letharsy produced by the heat
takes away the desire for wholesome food, and
frequent preparations reduce bodily energy,
particularly those suffering from the effects Of
debilitating diseases. In order to keep a ma
tural hea.thful activity Of the system, We
must resort to artificial means. For this pur-
pose shenck's Sea Weed Tonic is very effec-
tuaI. 4 few doses will create an appetite and
give fresh vigor TO the enervated body. For
dyspepsia, it is invaluable. Many eminent
physicians have doubted whether dyspepsia
can be permanently cured by the drugs which
are generally employed for that purpose. The
Sea Weed Tonic in its nature is totally differ
ent from such drugs. 1t contains no corrosive
minerals or acids; in fact II assists the regular
operations of nature, and supplies her def
ciences. The tonic in its nature so much re-
sembles the gastric juice that it is almost idsn-
teal With that fluid. The gastric juice Is the
natural solvent which. in healthy condition
Of the body, causes the food to be. digested;
and when this juice is not excreted in sufi-
cient quantities, INDIGESTION, with all its dis
tressing symptoms, follows. The Sea Weed
Tonic performs the duty of the gastric juice
when the latter is deficient. Schenck's Sea

Speaking of Avignon and the coming

makes Avignon more famous in the
worlds annals than any other is one
which happened on a soft spring evening
in the church OF st. Clair, so long ago
as the year Of grace 1927 On the 9Th
of April in that springtide, young Fran.
cisco Petrarch, then a law student Of
twenty three, handsome in person and
learned in books, being at vespers,
looked up from his breviary and saw for
