A Wedding Incident.

The pretty bride and manly bride
groom had exchanged their VOWS. The
organ was almost bursting with the
melody of the Wedding March," the
crowd in the church on Lexington
avenue and Fifth street, New York, was
slowly vending its way to the open
air, when everybody present was
startled by woman's voice in the vesti-
bule, crying: Hes got my watch;
that one there, going away: catch him,
somebody, quick!" She moved toward
him, pointing her finger at him, so that
all might know him. A policeman
came up and took him from the men
who had already captured him. A little
girl saw him drop the watch on the
pavement, where it was found, slightly
damaged. At the station-house he
snatched piece OF paper found on him
by the officer, and tried to swallow it !;
but he was choked to prevent that, his
jaws forced open, and the paper drawn
out. It was a memorandum of we'd
dings, funerals, conscientious, and other
ceremonies for the week at various
churches where crowds would assemble,
and afford him opportunities for plying
his industry.

How She Met Her Beau.

Lord Lytton defines a selfish man in
one Of his novels as one who would burn
his nelghbors house to boil mis- eggs for
breakfast. Clemence Broissiea, young
peasant girl aged sixteen, serves to illus
trate this story. She fell in love with a
PEASANT boy Of her own age in neighbor-
ing village, and as the beautiful hero
lighted her torch on her watch-tower at
Sestos to attract Leander, so did this
damsel set fire to ricks, barns, and cot
tages to draw Romarn to her village, and
then during the confusion, she contrlved
to get stolen interviews with her lover
The fires became as fast and frexuent at
Anvers as in the Chinese village wher
Hoti and Bo-bo first accidentally burned
down the cottage where the SOW had far
rowed and first tasted cracking. Fires
blazed whenever a SOW farrowed in every
pig-stye and cottage. Mile Brossier
struck lucifer in the thatch whenever
she desired to see her sweetheart. In
quiries were instituted, and the damsel
was sentenced to ten years hard labor,
but as the French laws do not permit
the iuflction of this penalty on females,
she will be shut up for decade in the

Unanimously Elected.

In Prussia the voters elect electors
who elect the members of the national
parliament.
In one electoral district only one
voter put in an appearance on election
day.
For whom do you vote?" said the
returning officer.
For myself"
"If elected will you serve as an cleo
tor?"
NO"
"Then,' said the returning officer,
smiling at the strange simplicity OF the
man, Il must ask you the first question
over again. Whom do you vote for?"
"For myself"
Sch, then you have made up your
mind to serve if you are elected?"
NO"
"In the name of Bismarck I adjure
you, you chuckle-headed ass" yelled
the returning officer at the top of his
voice; "tell me, for the third and last
time, whom do you vote for, then?"
The voter, with dignity: Having
been thrice honored by my fellow-citi-
zens with unanimous election to this
important trust, after I had twice de-
clined the honor they would thrust up
on me, I feel that I can no longer resist
their appeal, but must sacrifice my per
sonal preferences to my anxiety for the
public welfare. Ivote for myself and
will serve if elected"

A Good but Expensive Joke.

Some time ago a wealthy gentleman
OF this city, says the Cleveland Press,
perpetrated good joke on his nephew,
a young man named Lockwood, en-
ployed in the Office of Division Super
intendent Woodford, of the Canada
Southern road, and located near Toledo.
The young man received telegram from
the uncle telling him to come to Cleve-
land at once, but offering no explana-
ton. The young man responded. The
uncle, looking stern and angry, met him
at the depot, and said to him, "Come to
my office at once" The young NAL,
trembling in his boots, and wondering
what he had done to anger his relative,
followed. At the Office the uncle
handed him document, and in a fierce
tone of voice said, "Read that" TWAS
a deed conveying house and lot in one
of the most pleasant portions OF the
city to the astonished nephew. Then
the old uncle sat down and laughed
until his sides ached. It was a good
Joke, and cost the perpetrator $4,000.

A Woman'S Glove.

A woman's glove is to her what vest
pocket is to man, but it is more capa-
cious, and in ninety-nine cases out OF a
hundred it is much better regulated.
A man will carry 5000 worth Of small
change, four matches, half-a-dozen
toothpicks, short pencil, and yet not
be able to find nickel, or match, OF
a pencil, or toothpick, or card when
he wants it. Not SO with a woman.
She has the least bit of glove, and in
that glove she carries the tiniest
hand, and wad of bills and the mem
oranda for her intended purchase OF
dry goods, and car-tickets and matinee
checks, and maybe diminutive pow
der-bag. We have no idea how she
does it-how she manages to squeeze
those thousand and one things into that
wee space. But she does it every time,
and the glove never looks the least dis
composed, or plethoric, or ruffled. And
when q woman wants any article
concealed about that glove, she doesn't
seem to have the least trouble in the
world getting at it. ALI that is required
is simple turn of the wrist, the dis
appearance of two fairy fingers, and the
desired article is brought to ightl It
Is wonder no sayant can explain.

CuriOus Facts About Memory.

A French scientist has been studying
the faculty Of memory as exhibited by
different races, and its relation to the
other mental faculties as shownin indi-
viduals Of vhe same race. His statements
are interesting;
The inferior races Of mankind, such
as negroes. the Chinese, etc, have more
memory than those of high type Of
civilization.
Primitive races which were unac-
quainted with the art of writing had a
wonderful memory, and were for ages
in the habit of handing down, from one
generation to another, hymns as volum-
nous rs the Bible.
Prompters and professors of declam-
alton know that women have more
momory than men. French women will
learn foreign language quicker than
their husbands.
Youths have more memory than adults.
It IS we'll developed in children, attains
It's maximum about the fourteenth or
fifteenth year, ard then decreases.
Feeble individuals Of q Emphatic
temperament have more memory than
the strong. Students who obtain the
prize for memory and recitation chiefly
belong to the former class.
Partisan students have also less mem
Dry than those who come from the prov
inces. AZ the Ecole Normale and other
schools the pupils who have the best
memory are not the most intelligent.
The memory is more developed among
the peasantry than among citizens, and
among the clergy than among the laity.
From physiological point of view,
memory is diminished by over-feeding,
by physical exercise, and by education,
in this sense, that the illiterate have
potentially more memory than those
who know how to read and write.
We remember, moreover, better in
the morning than in the evening, in the
summer than in the winter, and better
in warm than in cold climates.

These huge masses Of ice are found
away up in the Arctic region, 1000 to
1900 miles away, during the winter.
The following summer they become de-
tached from the mother pack, and come
floating southwark with the Arctic cur
rent, which flows at the rate of about
one-half to three-quarters Of mile an
hour. It takes them all winter to reach
the Newfoundland banks, where they ar
rive about March, and from that time
until the LIST of July they are frequently
encountered. They sometimes strike
shallow water, and are knocked about
along the edge of the banks until they
pass by and proceed on their journey
south. They continue onward until
they meet the Gulf stream, which will
take them down to latitude AZ degrees
and longitude 45 degrees to 30 degrees,
where the warmer temperature of the
water rots them, and they break to
pieces, melt away and disappear. Some
times they are kept playing about for
several days between the Arctic current
and the Gulf stream,

A Oueer P0sthumOus Tribute.

There was nervous and nettlssome
old lady passenger in Pawtucket car
Tuesday morning, and no amount of
assurance that she should be mott
fed when Cemetery street was reached
would keep her quiet. She sat on air
most of the time, and over and over
again she Intercepted every passenger
as to the precise moment when the car
would reach the cemetery. In due sea-
son the car did reach the cemetery, and
the conductor and no less than six
passengers informed her that she had
reached her destination. "Lor' sakes!"
she exclaimed, @I'm not a-going to get
out. I heerd that poor old Jim Trip,
who married my husbands half-sister,
and who is buried here, had got a head
stone sot up over him, and, as the poor,
old, over-worked critter never had

A Woman's Constancy.

A young physician in California was
engaged to be married to young lady
in Southern State, and as keepsake
sent her small nugget of gold. He
was prosperous, and the wedding was
set for an early date, but sudden fall
in his circumstances reduced him to
poverty. Too honorable to hold the
Joung lady to her promise in his altered
circumstances, he reluctantly and with
many heart-pang wrote releasing her
from her engagement. But the young
lady had brave heart, and resolved on
keeping her promise, in spite of the
change in her lovers position. She
took the little nugget of gold and had
it made into a ring, which she sent to
the young physician. On the ring was
the inscription: ."Entreat me not to
leave thee; for whittier thou goest, will
go; and whittier thou lodgest, 1 will
lodge; thy people shall be my people,
and thy God my God; the Lord do so
to me, and more also, if aught but
death part thee and me-" ruth IL, 16)

Those Wires.

In San Francisco and other large
towns of California it is said that many
of the married women past the middle
age have been the wives of two, three
and sometimes four or five different
men, owing to the freedom of divorce
which used to exist, and still exists in a
modified form, in the State. Women
we're in plentiful lack in the days of the
Argcnauts, and for some time after;
and when one appeared in the COM
munity with good looks, intelligence
and magnetism to recommend her, she
was well-nigh fought for. As a rule,
the women who migrated to Ell Dorado
were not of the finest. Many of them
were more or less adventuresses, and,
seeing their extreme marketableness,
enhanced their. value by very broad
coquetry, and disposed of themselves to
the highest bidders. After securing
one husband they entertained proposals

How Indians Get Their Gold.

A Bodie (Cal) News reporter no.
ticed several squaws panning out gold
dust in small pools Of water formed by
the damming up of tue flow
from the Standard mine. Some
of them were quite expert, handling
the pan like an old gulch miner. One
of the squaws finished washing out a
pan of dirt while the reporter was pres
ent. A small quantity Of very fine
gold, mixed with sand, remained in the
pan after the dirt had been washed off.
From some hiding-place in her tatters
she took out piece of buckskin with
a small amount of gold and black sand
tied up in it. This she united, placed
in it the dust she had just PANIED out,
and returned it to its former hiding
place among her rags. Looking around
to see where the dirt came from, sew
eral Indian braves and boys were OBJ
served digging and scratching in the
old dumps lying near by. The braves
get the dirt and the squaws do the
manning ont.
