"The queerest wedding trip ever
heard Of" said a station-master at the
West Side depot, "took place one day
last week. The couple were from a
little corn and hog station down on
the Burlington, and they came up on
one of the morning trains. They went
into the waiting-room upstairs and
remained there the whole day. AT
noon they brought out bit of lunch
and ate together. Only once or twice
did the groom venture beyond the
station walls, and cries of the hack
man quickly frightened him back.
The bride had a great curiosity to go
over closer to the river so she could
see the shipping, but the groom was
afraid TO leave the station for fear of
getting lost. Notwithstanding the seem
ing monotony of the day they were as
happy as clans all day long sitting a
hold of each others hands, When
evening camo they took the night
train for home, where they were
doubtless, received as a hero and
heroine after their adventures taking
in the wonders of Chicago"

Superior to Anything.

A prominent business man in
Wilmington, Del, in speaking of a
cure of cancer on himself, writes to
the Morning News of that city:
can say further that my case is
not an isolated one. A lady, a Gus
toner Of mine, was suffering from a
cancerous affection of the nose. She
had spent great deal of money and
time running to Philadelphia to con-
suit the best physicians there, but
could get but little are no relief.
About a year ago told her of my
case, and induced her TO try the S. S.
S. remedy. She dId so, and IN few
weeks was much better, She had
several operations performed, and
was disposed to hold on TO her old
treatment as well as the new, but
finally she threw all aside but the S.
5. s., and in two months from that
time was thoroughly cured.
Another lady suffering from an alb
cess on her arm had been doctoring
for long time in this city, Chester
and Philadelphia, but could not get
any relief, apparently. She had fall
ell away TO a mere shadow of her
former self, and could scarcely eat or
sleep. She commenced to take the S.
S. S., medicine, upon the advice of
friends and myself, but was so re-
duced in flesh that she had a little
stomach trouble at first. She per-
sisted, however, and after the third
bottle she declared it had done her
more good than anything else she
had ever tried. / now understand
that she is entirely well, and is loud
in her praise Of S. S. S.

but am not at liberty to speak of them.

medicine known as S. S. S, is supe-
rior to anything of the kind known

recommend it 10 any one suffering

himself by scolding the girls about
Aunt Keziah's bonnet.
After this there were some mystcri-
Gus consultations with Kate, whose
birthday came the same week with his
own, although she was two years old
er. He ceased to complain of girls rs
''such bother" and remarked for
the first time that it was great con-
venIence to have the birthdays about
the same time. He had always before
objected to dumping them," for his
mother greatly preferred celebration
after Kate's wishes to his plans.
Aunt Keziah had been busy all day
in the kitchen making doughnuts and
small cakes in curious shapes for the
double birthday, when the door opened
and Ned and Kate came in very much
excited, and trying to look grave

Ned interrupted her, ito take you to

"And here are the tickets and car

came in Ned again as chorus.
"You dear children" said Aunt

cried for minute.

An Unnatural Mother.


The curious case of the emu is dc.
scribed in letter from Mr. Alfred
Bennett, who had an opportunity Of
watching the habits of this bird,
which was during several seasons sue.
cessfully bred by his father in Surrey.
The hen bird, says Mr.. Bennett, begins
to lay about the end of October or be.
ginning of November, and, as each
brood consists of twenty eggs or more,
laid at intervals of two days, the
process takes about six weeks. Before
it is completed the cock bird begins tc
set. Tho eggs laid subsequently, are
deposited by the hen by the side Of hei
mate, who puts out his foot and draws
them under him. As soon as the eggs
begin to hatch it is necessary to isolate
the hen, as she fights furiously witt
her mate, and would, to all appear
ances, kill the chicks if she were al
lowed to get at them. The whole o
the tending to the young is performed
by the male bird. -Ndiure.

A YOUNG HERO.
The Prompt, Wise Way In Which He
Saved the Life OF n Friend.

The Prompt, Wise Way In which He
Saved the Life OF Friend.
Every now and then we read Of some
act of youthful heroism performed by
one of our American boys, and We
learn what noble and courageous men
we have growing up among us. But
surely the following story is one which,
for undaunted bravery, quickness oil
apprehension and utter rcgardlessness
of self in the desire to help conn ade,
is not often equaled.
1t would be easy to give the names
of the two lads in question, for they
live in town not very far away. They
are modest boys, however, and as il
may be that they do not care to have
the story of their adventure published
too widely, we will simply call them
John and Charlie. Lika all boys, they
are very fond Of rambling in the
woods, hunting, fishing and enjoying
all the pleasures that nature offers so
beautifully to young people.
Thoy were out on such an expedition
and were wandering in the neighbour
hood of q pretty woodland stream
when John suddenly stepped on the
tail of a large and venomous snake.
The adder turned in vengeance and
plunged his fangs deep into the flesh
of the boys leg. Overcome by terror,
John tainted and fell to the ground,
The boys had happened to be in the
act of climbing wall. Charles missed
his companion, and turning TO look
for him saw the snake. BY this time,
however, it had expended its poison
and was gliding rapidly away. In a
moment Charles had sprung to his
friends side. Without an instant's de-
lay he stripped Johns stocking from
his leg, and taking out his handker.
chief tied it tightly around the limb
just above the purple spots left by the
fangs of the snake. Then he applied
his mouth to the wound, and with all
his strength sucked the mingled blood
and poison into his mouth.
Quick as he had been the leg began
to swell and Charles was glad to see q
farmers boy approach. He sent fol
water, and between them they restored
John to consciousness. They Their
made arrangements for getting him
home. AS soon as possible doctor
was procured, and Charles delivered
the case into his hands.
The physician does not hesitate tc
say that John owes his life to the
prompt and intelligent action OF his
friend. There was not the interval Of
a minute between the bite of the snake
and the tightening of Charles hand
kerchief about the leg. This stopped
the flow of the blood while the poison
was sucked from the wound by
Charles eager lips. Was not this
friendship, boys, and courage and in
telligence7 Which of you would have
thought so quickly what to do? Which
of you would have drawn the adder's
deadly poison from your friends
wounded limb into your own MOUTH
All honor to brave Charlie! | wish
we could know what he will be and do
as a man. He can scarcely perform 9
nobler deed than that of his boyhood'
happy days, bur his life will surely b.
one of usefulness and high achieve
ment in whatever he may undertake. =
