The Famous kissing Case

This was to decide whether girl who had
been married in fun was really the wife of
the youth with whom she had stood up to
perform the mock marriage. Several hun
dred pages of testimony were taken, and the
justice spent more in having it copied than
he received for his fees. The whole thing,
which began in joke, proved at last very
serious business 1t is serious business, too,
when a human system runs down, down,
down, until life has no charms, and the
grave seems a blessing. In this state of
affairs take Browns Iron Bitters, and be
lifted into life and hope and strength.

the time of writing the market is fcverish

Coombs, appeard to have an almost un-
limited order to take I'll he could
get under 20 and it is believed he got some
thing like 10000 shares. The gossips in
this crowd devoted themselves to guessing
whether his principals were shorts or whether
he represented some new bull crowd that
thought the present good time to get under
stock. The st. Paul people refuse to give
any statement of its affairs for publication,
but confess to a floating debt of So, 500, 900,
while the whole bonded debt, as it well
knows, is 500, 900, 600 more. Mr.. White
said he thought the company made u mistake
in not deciding on and announcing divi-
dend before. Mr.. Gould says that he does
not think that the public s-ntiment will
SUSTAIN A BULL MOVEMENT
in stocks until the present mplications are
out OF the way, referring to Pacific Mail mat
tiers and the Nickel Plate trouble, the Jersey
Central and Reading middle and the reduc-
ton of dividends on old established lines
The Northwestern earnings for the third
week of March increased $500, but it is
predicted that the next dividend on its COM
mon stock will be reduced the same as the
st. Paul has been, as Mr.. Vanderbilt is now
in favor of lower dividends for all his roads.
The general list was fairly well-sustained the
latter part Of the session. The short interest
is reported as having greatly increased dur
ing the past few days. Still, those who are
looked upon as the prominent bull leaders,
appear to be doing but little more than
holding their favorites steady, and biding
their time. There appeared to be better
demand for shares at the last, and the mar
ket was active and quite firm.

How TO Eat an Orange.

beg of you to implore your friends
never again to insult such noble fruit
as to eat it with spoon. Let them
adhere strictly to the following direc-
tons as to how to eat an orange: Place
the orange on a nice, clean white plate,
then quarter it with silver knife.
Take one of the quarters in your fingers
and loosen the peel from each end at
the same time, until there is but o
quarter of an inch of the peel adhering
to the center of the section. Then
seize the two points of peel with your
left thumb and forefnger. and hold it
as you would tuberose; with the right
hand draw the blade through the CEN
ter of the fruit, as far as the peel; if all
