A MatrimOn al Romance.

The recent marriage at Mount Sterling,
Ohio, of Jerome K. Burton to Mrs. Annie
Evans, though a quiet affair, was really
the acme of one of the prettiest romances
in real life, the particulars of which are
furnished by a correspondent of the st.
Louis Globe Democrat:
Mrs. Burton, recently Mrs. Evans, nee
Annie Upton, is now but t~hirty-five, is
pretty, petite, and Mr.. Burton is her
third husband, and yet her first. Eighteen
Years ago Miss Upton was a student in a
Cincinnati school, and while there she
met Mr.. Burton, then a student in a
medical college. Burton was of q good
Kentucky family, a man of fine appear
ance, and he soon won the young girls
heart. By the aid of a mutual friend a
license was procured, though the girl
was not of age, and they were secretly
married. Both continued in school,
giving no outward sign of their changed
relationship. A few weeks later the
young bride was summoned to her home
to attend a sick mother. The girl her.
self was seized with illness, and from
letters received during this illness, and
from the girls talk in her delirium the
secret of the marriage was obtained.
Her parents were greatly angered, and
set about to discover means to unite
the nuptial knot, and as the girl was
not of age at the time of the mar
rage. and as her parents consent had not
been obtained, the first point was to have
her, Immediately on coming of age, re-
pudiate the contract. This was accom-
plished partly by coercion and partly by
persuasion. The young man was seen
and the terrors of the law we're held up
to him. Young, inexperienced and fear
ing the wrath of his parents, who as yet
knew nothing of the wedding, he con
sented to a separation and a suit for di-
vorce. The divorce was quietly obtained
scarcely a score of people knowing
anything of the affair. Burton went
West, and in the course of time Miss
Upton married and came to this place.
Thrrc years ago her husband died, leav-
ing a comfortable property. A notice

ago. He had lost sight of his former
wife and sweetheart altogether, but had
never ceased to love her, and had never
married. lie resolved to see if it were
the same person, and learn if possible if
she had been a wiling party to the sepa-
ration years ago. He came at once to
see her. Explanations were offered on
both sides, and, finding that each loved
the other, they resolved to marry2 The
ceremony was performed quietly at the
brides residence, her parents coming a
distance to witness it without even IL sus-
picion who Burton was. Other eXplana-
tions occurred later in the dag, and so
far as is known no ill-will exists among
any of those who have a right to be in
terested.

Too Much Gun,

Cantain Marsh, who, some years ago,
made a tour through Persia, Afghanis-
tan and other Mohammedan countries,
heard, while at Teheran, an amusing
story of the shah of Persia and his big
gun. The shah, having heard much Of
the merits of the Krupp gun, became
DESTROYS of possessing one, and applied
to the Russian legation to be allowed to
get one of these guns from Russia.
The car granted his request, and sent
one of the largest and heaviest descrip.
tion-a three-hundred FOUNDER. 1t was
landed at Enzcli, on the shore of the
Caspian, by a Russian man-of-war. The
shah sent a regiment to bring it up, but
great was the difficulty of conveying an
article of such ponderous proportions over
the Elburz mountains, without proper ap-
planes and skilful direction. After
many months delay and great waste of
labor, it was brought into the city in
state, and parked with the other guns.
On the day appointed for the trial
trip, so to speak, the whole court assem-.
bled, together with a vast crowd, eager
and curious to see the new gun. The
monster was fired. 1t happened to be
| placed so near one of the city gates that
the conclusion knocked down one of its
blue minarets, and the shot travelled so
along the plain that it struck a mosque
in "A village five miles away, and shat
tered it..
The shah, in dismay at the effects pro-
duced, had the Krupp gun put away
out of sight for fear of more accidents.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Gooseberries aud Currauts.

Strawberries, raspberries, and even
blackberries, are exceedingly perishable
fruits. They must be picked when just
tipe, require careful transportation, and
If not sold at once, they perish and are
loss to the shipper. Such fruits can
be proftably grown only by those who
mahe a business of it, and conform to all
their peculiarities. Gooseberries and
currents. on the other hand, are not so
''miffy," as gardeners say of certain
plants. A farmer can have a plantation
of either or both of these, and may often
profitably market the fruit not required
by the family, One great advantage of
these fruits is, they are in demand when
green. Gooseberries, indeed, are almost
invariably marketed while unripe, and
green currants, in city markets, at least,
are always in demand. Ripe g~ooseberries
are hardly known in our markets, but
ripe currants transport readily, and may
be sent to market in baskets holding ten
pounds, and if not sold the first day,
remain in a salable condition for several
days after. Gooseberries and currants
may be raised by farmers and others,
who have not the time to devote to the
more p%erishable fruits, or who are too
far from market for their safe transpor-
tation. They may be planted for sup
plying the family, and to allow Of a sur
plus that will bring in a little ready
money. If a plantation is to be made,
it may be done this spring, as soon after
the ground can be worked as possible.
Good, strong, rich, moist soil is best;
if planted in poor soil, let it be well
MANFRED. Procure plants from the nur-
series, and set them in rows four or five
feet apart, and the same distances apart
in the rows. Plants may be had a year
old, which will give some fruit the next
year. Do not expect fruit the same year
the bushes are planted, and if any bios
SONS appear, pick them off. The varie-
ties are numerous. For currants we
should select Versailles and white grape.
Fay's prolific is true to its name, but
being new may cost a little more. For
gooseberries, only the American varie-
ties should be planted. Houghton is one
of the most reliable; Downing's Seeding
and Smiths improved are good. When
hot weather approaches, it will pay to
mulch the earth over the roots with hay

growth is greatest, and this is in mid
summer or after the trees get into full
leaf in the spring. On the other hand,
if it is desirable, as it generally is, to
cultivate in orchards with the least in
jury to the trees, it should be early in the
spring. New roots put out, and the tree
is rather more vigorous than before, es-
pccially when it had previously been in
sod.
The Now England Farmer gives the
following recipe for grating wax. -Four
parts resin, two parts beeswaX, and one
part tallow. Melt all together in a ket-
tie, over a moderate fire, and when we'll
mixed, pour into a cold vessel to harden.
When stiff enough to handle, grease the
hands, and then pull and work the wax
until it is white, or amber colored, and
even quality throughout. In cold weather
the wax may need warming by working
it with the hands, or it may be melted
and applied with a brush.
Tagging sheep is removing the locks
of soiled wool around the hinder parts.
1t should always be done to ewes before
they drop their young, as the lambs may
otherwise not be able to find the teats.
By removing the tags before turning out
to green feed some good wool may be
saved mat would certainly be rendered
worthless by soiling so soon as the sheep
droppings became watery, as they will on
grass. The wool tags are, however,
worth more for the manure heap than to
sell at rates which wool dealers can now
offer. Tagging should not be neglected,
as the removal of dirty wool is essential
to the comfort Of the sheep.

One of Franklin's Dinners.

Mrs. Mary Ruston was one of the no.
table ladies in Philadelphia society q
century ago. Her receipt book is now
owned by Mr.. Charles Pennypacker, one
of her descendants. In it she recorded
particulars of the elaborate dinners at
which she was present. Thus it appears
that on one occasion DR.. Franklin re-
called his guests with clam soup, breast
of veal ragouted, ~fore-quarter of roast
lamb, four small chickens, pigs feet, q
pair of roast ducks, and a roast leg of
mutton, with numerous vegetables served
from the side board, and filled up the
c~revices with a dessert of green currant
tarts, j%ellies, blanc mango, cranberry
tarts, English and Swiss cheeses, and
cheese cakes.

In abiding to a few incidents in the
lives of the princes of Wales, it may be
interesting to note, respecting the birth
of the first one, that, when the mes
senger arrived at Rhudlan castle, where
King Edward l. was residing on politi-
cal business, and announced to him that
his queen had given birth to a boy on
the preceding day, the 25th of April,
1894, at Carnarvon, Edward in his Joy,
made a knight of the messenger, stuffed
his pouches with gold pieces, and gave
him house and lands to enable him to
support his dignity becomingly" Then
follows the story, which every ~schoolboy
and girl knows, of the baby's presenta-
ton to the Welsh chieftains, who vowed
allegiance to him and accepted him as
their prince. Some historians assert
this to have been the occasion upon
which Edward was created prince of
Wales. On the other hand, it is stated
that 1.-THE original letters patent by
which he was raised to the dignity of
Prince of Wales" bear the date of 1901.
Be that as it may, Speed says, "his Gre
alton SO contented the Welsh, because of
his birthplace, they held him as one of
theirs, that when all friends afterward
forsake him, they always stuck most 10y
ally unto him, expressing wonderful love
and affection, and bewailing his heavy
fortunes in woeful songs, which neither
the dread of his enemies nor length of
time could ever make them forget"
"Heavy fortunes indeed for the first
English Prince of Wales was the first of
our kings to be deposed and murdered.
Although Edward III. is generally con-
sidered the second prince of the illus
trious line, he was never created such,
but he invested his son, Edward the
black prince, with the principality in
1913; after whom came Richard
of Bordeaux, making the third
of the house of P~lantagenet. Two Lam
castrians followed, viz, Henry of Mon
mouth and his grandson Edward of
Westminster. (Henry VI. being but a
few months old at the death of his
father never received the title.) Then

sores on the arms, legs, or feet. Bunches in the

other symptoms. Hoods Sarsaparilla has had
wonderful success in curing %scrofula. 1t thoroughly

Afternoon Session.

Mr.. Smiths (of Jenningsl delinquent tax sale
redemption bill Is. 143l, on it's second reading.
came up as special order, with a majority report
recommending that it lie on the table, and a mi
nor1ty report that the bill do pass.
Mr.. Smith continued his speech, interrupted
by adjournment on the previous afternoon.
What good reason is there why a man who in
vests his money in the purchase of delinquent
t~ax-tlties should have any more interest upon
that investment than the man who loans his
money? 1t rs against the policy of law that there
should be class legislation upon any subject.
But the greatest evil under our present tax law
is that it cuts off the right of redemption. This
bill seeks to raze the black flag the law has
placed over the poor mans home-the protection
of the nation in time of war and the glory Of the
State In time of peace. l insist upon a fair, full,
deliberate and honest consideration of the report.
Mr.. Foulke-It was from no spirit of antag-
onlsm to the poor man whose land is sold for
taxes that the judiciary reported
against this bill, nor from a spirit of friendlinesS
to the man who might purchase for a nominal
consideration land worth indefinitely more than
the price bid. This bill provides that an addi-
tional year shall be allowed to persons whose
lands have been foreclosed under tax deeds, and
the author desires to make that retroactive.
Under the Constitution of the State if VIC pass
such a law it will not do the senator nor those
he represents any good. There is a policy we
cannot ignore and that is that every man must
pay his taxes. Every man who does not pay
his taxes imposes an additional burden upon his
neighbor. Taxes must be collected. The law
now allows considerable time to elapse after de-
linqueHey before a sale, and two years after that
before a deed. If three, four or five years were
allowed there would be still SOME who would not
pay. AS long as money can be invested so as to-
bring a return of something near 10 per cent,
men are not going to buy tax titles and take the
risk of litigation. Bidders will not attend the
tax sales, and taxes will be returned delinquent
year after year.
Tlssaiaority report vas rejected by yeas %.
nays "a. The majority report was also rejected
by yeas %, nays %.
Mr.. Willard moved that the bill be recon-
mitted to the judiciary committee, that it may
be perfected. There were several defects in it.
The motion was agreed to.
