A most remarkable hitch took place
ct wedding ceremony in the town Of
Aastad, Mimi, which is thus described

towns wealthy farmers to witness the
ceremony of couple about to be mar
ried. The Lutheran minister was %

with the rules of the church asked the
groom If he was heart-free. yea"
came the answer, when the company
were thrown into CONSERVATION by tho
voice of q young lady present. .'You
lie, sir" cried she, in accents not TO b
mistaken. The words acted like bomb
shell thrown among the former happy
throng, and when the minister asked
for an explanation, letters were produo.
ed TO prove that she was also engaged
to the young man, and the affair looked
rather critical for the time being. The
rejected sweetheart, however. aftor e1.
postulation, consented to the ceremony
being performed, If the gentleman would
apologize and ask 10 be forgiven. which
he humhly did; but the minister had b.
this time left in disgust, and troubIo

characteristics Of GreyhOunds.

When a greyhound chases anything
he means killing it. Should q little
dog become scared and start to run
from two or three greyhounds, his
life may be numbered by seconds IN
less he quickly finds place Of refuge,
where his pursuers cannot obtain &C
cess to him and where he can "bow-
WOW" his disgust at their want Of dis
courtesy and bloodthirstiness without
fear of retribution. AS for cats, of all
the many enemies of the feline race
none are more to be dreaded by them
than the greyhound. In field where
there are no trees poor pussy is soon
run down, when one grip from the
long, powerful jaws of her pursuer III
staEtly settles her account in this world.
And this habit of chasing everything
that runs from them is so much part
and parcel of their nature and is so
fostered by training, that to eradicate
it is impossible without rendering tie
dog useless. On the other hand, [ have
many times seen them run up to small
terrier, who was plucl1y enough to stand
and face them, awaiting the course Of
events, when they would simply nose
him all over, as is the nature OF strange
dogs in general when they meet one an
other, and let him proceed on his way
unmolested, although I must admit there
is generally lurking devil" in the cor
ners of their eyes as he trots quietly off
to see if he will not break into a gallop
and so give them an excuse for Chevy
ing" him forthwith. Also this breed,
one and all, must plead guilty to the
charge of larceny. Most impudent
thieves they are, too, not being at all
particular about stealing under the
very noses of the owners of the property
purloined, and, having got possession
of the coveted plunder, they, to quote
an expression of our American brethren,
chop around lively" leaving the ag-
grieved proprietor the option of vowing
vengeance against greyhounds in gen
eral and that hound in particular, and
so put up with his loss, or else visiting
the owner Of the dog and endeavoring G
to obtain satisfaction and redress from
that quarter. The best way to escape
trouble from either of these two faults
is to keep your hounds coupled so long
as you are in the neighborhood Of shops;
and, although this may not be a perfect
cure for the evil, you will find it q great
check on their propensities in these
directions s-TOTO7ltO Globe

The ssWhy'' in Vegetable Cookery.

Why should beans never be put into
cold water to soak, as is often RECON-
mended? Because all the nutritious
portion Of the bean IS extracted lly tie
process. They should be washed in
warm water, then in cold, ba He'd
loosely in cloth, lie put into boiling
water, with a spoonful Of dripping ana
a little salt in it, and be kept boil;cr
for four . "a. They sre then excel
lent if served with gravy, and not wi5l
melted butter. They serve as gam 81
around roast mutton or beef, and are
excellent eating served whole or as q
puree. To make the latter, when tie
beans are done throw them Instantly
into cold water, when the skins viii
slip of. Rub the beans through q col
ander, and mix lump Of butter with
them. A little stock, or milk, or cream
is excellent mixed in.
Why should plenty of fast boiling
water be used in boiling vegetables, po-
tatoes excepted? Because the greater
the body of boiling water the greater
the heat. If only a little water be
used, the whole affair soon cools, and
the vegetables become tough, so much
so that no length of time In boiling
them will render them otherwise. Bloc
coli sprouts in April, if properly cooked
by boiling them for eight minutes in
boiling water, VIII be tender as mar
row; but, if not properly done, hours
will not cook them.
Why should onions be always cut in
round and very thin rings? Because
the fiber is thus cat across, and insso
cutting them, whether for frying or for
making sauce, they are rendered very
tender when cooked. With turnips
and carrots it is just the same; neither
of the three should be split or cut in
any other way.
Why should parsley never be boiled
with soda-only boiling water and salt
Because parsley, having no oil in it,
| would be spoiled with soda and all
| favor would be extracted. al parsley
! should be picked free from the stem, BE-
| put into plenty OF boiling water with
salt and in summer be boiled cnlv one
