Half The Fine Went TO Him.

A Belgian bridegroom, being about
to start for Paris on his honeymoon
tour was informed by his bride that
she thought Of conccaling several
thousand francs worth Of lace about
her, hoping by its sale to pay the cost
of their journey. The bridegroom was
not smitton with this frugal project, and
pointed cut that there We're custom

struck with nm unaecountable fancy for
examining passengers pockets. This
he SAID, being y timid man, and his
bride to humor him promised TO give
up her plan; but of course she secretcd
the lace NIL the same without telling
him about it. Now, MS the train APP
preached the French frontier the hus-
band reflected that if his wife were not
searched his fears would be Knocked ut
Us having been groundless, and he
would start on his married career with
prestige impaired This was not de-
srable. The rather, was it essential
that he should from the very outset as
sert his infallibility. So, when the train
stopped ut Eecquelines, and the passen-
gers alighted, the bridegroom left the
brides arm for u moment. and, sliding
on to \ douanier, whispered. Il think
If you search that lady yonder yoh may
find some lace" The douanier winked
the happy bride was aecosted
with an invitation to walk
into the female soarcher's room; she
turned pale, totterod, but was led away,
and five minutes later dismal sounds Of
Mysteries were heard. Then the doua-
nier reappeared and said to the horri-
fled husband "Thank you, sir; it's n
good capture. The lady will be taken
TO prison, and halt the fino will 80 to

FIRST Glass PIANOS CHEAP.--We see
from their illustrated and descriptive
catalogue, that the Mendelssohn Piano
Co., of New York. are selling their pi-
amos at prices ranging from $l25 to $500.
The Mendelssohn piano has world wide
reputation for its power and rare beauty
of tone. Their factory is one of the
largest and most complete in the world.
The company sell pianos direct to the
people withoutthe intervention Of agents
or dealers, thereby saving purchasers
often as much as one half the prices
usually charged. They manufacture the
Grand, Square and Upright pianos, and
are among the very best instruments
offered to the public, though the prices
charged are not one third what other
manufacturers charge for no better in
struments than the Mendelssohn. I'm
like some concerns who don't make Il
piano at all but pick up old rattle boxes
and advertise them far and near as
as $1,000 pianos " for u mere nominal
sum, the Mendelesohn Piano Co. make
all their own Instruments and warran.

Of law suits from their customers as
others are, who advertise such wonder

"Slowly the train moved down the
old cathtdra aisle, grandly rose the
swell of the great organ, and anon
swept the soft cadcnces along the arches
and through the mulloned windows Of
the ancient pile. In the chancel stood
the holy man in all the vcstments

crossed hands, solemnly awaiting the

slowly moving stream Of destiny along

The yelocipedist of this country may rejoice
that he lives in the land of the free, and not
under an effete European despOtism. England
now seems to be working off some OF her bot
tled-up war spirit by attempting to crush the
bicycle. Even the courts have been carried
away by the mania, and have decided, to all
intents and purposes, that the bicycle, when
it suffers damage, is not a vehicle, but is one
when it intiicts damage. bicyclist collided
with a team which was on the wrong side OF
the road, and claimed damages. 1t was deci
ded that the bicyclist was foot passenger,
and his machine not vehicle, and hence the
law did not apply. But soon a bicycle run
over man in the street. Its owner rested his
case with cheerful confidence on the previous
decision. But, under the altered circum-
stances, discovery was made that the bicycle
5s a vehicle, and that the law applied. We do
not know whether our law considers bicycle
as a vehicle or as no vehicle, but it is not be-
Heyed that the machine will be decided to be
both, In such way that the damage may al
ways fall on the bicyclist, though many people
would approve "anything to beat" veloci-
