About the Size of a Suit of Clothes.

IT may have been questioned by mat
ter-offact people whether the amusing
tricks called sleight-of-hand or prestidig-
itation were of any practical application
OF use. A sharp performer in Detroit
has settled the question in the atfirma-
tive. He was sleepy-looking fellow,
and he went into clothing-store carry
ing a bundle about the size of suit of
clothes, wrapped neatly in brown paper.
But this customer wanted to buy a new
suit, and selected thirty-fve dollars worth
ofstore-clothes, which the dealer wrapped
up in a package also about the size ofa suit
of clothes. The sleepy fellow suddenly
discovered that he had nothing but a
check to pay for his suit, and he asked
that the package might be laid aside for
him until he could go around to his bank
and draw the money. To this the store
keeper had no objection, and he laid the
package aside The customer departed
as he came, carrying bundle about the
size of suit of clothes. He did not re-
turn. and several days passed. At length
the clothing-deale thought it about time
to open the bundle and replace the
clothes in the stock. This he proceeded
to do, and found to his surprise and dis
gust that the bundle contained greasy,
ragged, cast-off suit There was only one
explanation-the prestidigitator had dex-
terously exchanged bundles-both being
wrapped in paper of the same color. 1t
was very neat and sharply practical
trick of legerdemain of about the value
and size of a suit of clothes.-St. Louis

blemishes-are yet pleasant to look at
for the care bestowed on them, their
dainty perfection of cleanliness being
charm in itself Nothing, indeed, is more
disgusting than dirty hands and neglected
nails, as nothing gives one such sense
of freshness and care as the same mem
bers well kept. But one of the ugliest
things in nails is when they are bitten;
which, to judge by what one sees, is
habit having irresistible fascinalions for
those given over to it. 1t is an action,
by the way, that has more than one sig
nifcance. 1t may mean consideration,
doubt, hesitancy; or it may mean anger
or annoyance; or as habit it may point
to the not remote possibility of madness.
In any case it is ugly to look at and
worse than ugly in its results; bare
fiDger-tips, with the protecting cover
gnawed to the bleeding flesh, belonging
to the list of things mutilated and will
fully spoiled-therefore taken out of the
category of things ugly by nature, hence
misfortunes for which the sufferer is in
no wise accountable"

A Mennonite Wedding.

THE first Mennonite wedding since
coming to this country occurred in Bar
ton County, Kan, Oh the 2Sth of March,
and the contractin. parties were Benja
jamin Unruh and Mary Unruh. A cor
respondent of the Atchison Champion
thus describes the event: "The ceremony
was performed in accordance with the
customs that prevail among the people
of Russia, and as such is of interest to
those who wish to get acquainted with
them. The day was Easter Sunday, and
as such was especially observed. The
writer went to the school-house at $50
o'clock. The congregation were singing.
The music was not of the most artistic.
At ten o'clock the bride and groom en-
tered, entirely unattended and took seats
on two chairs placed especially for them
directly in front OF the pulpit. The
Easter sermon took one hour and three
quarters. 1t was entirely without note.
The wedding ceremony was read from
manuscript and occupied half an hour.
The bride and groom kept their seats
during most of the half hour. Both
answered Yes five times. To what
they answered do not know, as l do not
understand German. They left the
house as they came, and apparently as
happy as folks generally are under such
circumstances. The parties are of the
most well-to-do families that are settling
here. The bride came from Russia with
her parents last fall. She was dressed
very neatly in black. There was no
paint, jute or other modern improve
ments in her outfit, and 1 think Ameri-
can girls might profitably follow her ex-
ample in this matter. The groom has
been in this country about sixteen
months, and has been in Nebraska till
about two weeks since. He speaks very
good English, is plowmaker, and very
we'll informed. He has bought railroad
land near here and is going to farming.
They are of the class that are bound to
succeed in Kansas, and they will be the
most wealthy, intelligent and happy of
our citizens"

Tea Drunkards.

DR.. ARLIDGE, one of the pottery in
spectors of Staffordshire, has put forth
very sensible protest against very
pernicious custom, which rarely receives
sufficient attention either from the med
ical profession or the general public
He says that the women of the working
classes make tea a principal article OF
diet instead of an occasional beverage
They drink it several times a day, and
the result is lamentable amount OF
sickness.
Tea, in anything beyond moderate
quantities, is as distinctly a narcotic
poison as is opium or alcohol. 1t is
capable of running the digestion, of en-
feebling and disordeIing the hearts ac-
ton, and of generally shattering the
nerves. And it must be remembered
that not merely is it question OF mar.
cotic excess, but the enormous amount
of hot water which tea-bibbers neces.
sarily drink is exceedingly prejudic!al
both to digestion and nutrition. In
short, without pretending to place this
evil on par as to general effects with
those caused by alcoholic drinks, one
may we'll insist that our teetotal reform
ers have overlooked, and even to small
extent encouraged, form OF animal in
diligence which is as distinctly sensual
extravagant and pernicious as any beer
drinking or gin-swilling in the world
