Poison for the Rejected.

There is a custom prevailing among
the inhabitants of the Sandman ISL
ands which may throw little light
upon the civilized use of the wedding
cake. When native girl, whose ex-
ceptional beauty has brought her
many suitors, is knocked down with q
club and carried off by her accepted
lover, the welded pair within forty
eight hours of the wedding send cup
of poison distilled from the hula-hula
tree to each and every one of the
brides former admirers. If any recip-
lent feels that he cannot become recon-
ciled to the marriage, he drinks the
poison and dies; but if he decides
that he will survive the loss of his
intended wife, he throws away the
poison and feels bound in honor never
to show the slightest sign of disappoint.
ment. By this admirable system the
husband is spared the pangs of jealousy
and is able to live on friendly terms
with the surviving admirers of his
wife. Now it is quite possible that
wedding cake was in it's origin pre-
dsely analogous to the wedding poison
of the Sandman islanders. 1t may
have been more swiftly fatal in prehis
torie times than it is at present, and i
may have been used solely with tn
view of securing newly-married peopl
in the possession of undisturbed happi
ness. At present it fails to accomplish
this purpose because no one ever dream
of eating it.-Harper's Bazaar.

A Formidable Power:

The hotel clerk Of England is 1
woman, and usually a bright and
comely one. Now woman is, in al
most all cases, pretty formidable
creature to confront, and particularly
so when she is not only well dressed
and tolerably young and good hooking,
but clad In some kind Of authority. l
suppose that may be one reason why
men are unwilling to eohcede I'd Women
their "rights"--thefe would be no such
thing as equality. Except those brutal.
persons who would not scrtiple to dis
regard all distinctions 6f sex III their
use of physical force, the men would
infallibly go to the well. One cannot
haggle for penny or maintain any
small controversies with neatly-clad,
sweet-voiced and comely women, unless
she happens to be his wife. We know
the divinity, yea, the almost inacces;
sible divinity in which niaiiS d hotel
clerk Of the masculine gender dwells.
With what charming inattention he pre-
tends not to notice you With what lofty
condescension he briefly replies to your
trembling question ! With what serene
indifference he beholds your confusion
of face before his dread majesty But
the woman-clerk moves within the
ramparts of her Office Ikea small army
behind earthworks bidding defiance to
all forms and forces of invasion. She
is in authority there, and looks out
through an embrnsure of her fortihca-
ton with a serene haughtiness which
is equally exasperating and over
whelming. In vain one touches his
hat and tries the arts of politeness and
cajolery. He might as well perform
before one of Madame Tassauds wax
women. Few and short are the answers
given. You are made to feel that you
are very wearisome if you persist in
trying to get little necessary knowl-
edge. You are snubbed numerically
if you offer any suggestions touching
your personal convenience. You are
commended to the porter and to Boots
as being quite good enough for such as
you. If it were man, you might
pluck up spirit to wisely resent such
treatment, and retaliate in kind ; but
one cannot quite get to that in the case
of woman, and so he retires to plume
his ruffied feathers in secret, and to
purchase sixpenny-worth Of various
information from chambermaids and
porters. These female hotel clerks are
the avengers of their sex. And they
enjoy their Office. l wonder If women
ever tremble and cover 80 before the
pride and haughtiness of man? Itcan
hardly be.
