Curious Marriage Ceremony.

A curious marriage ceremony took
place the other day in Paris, which ex-
cited much curiosity and interest in
wild-beast circles. The bride was the
daughter of wild-beast tanner, the
groom the son of another gentleman in
the same profession. The guests were
all tanners and menagerie braves On
the table were several stuffed lion cubs;
behind the newly-wedded couple stood
a splendid group of four stuffed tigers,
which Pezon said had cost him IS much
as if they had been made out of mar
ble-about $1,000 francs-and panels
representing the denizens of forest and
desert were hung on the walls. The

Student Walters.

About the sickest thing in the world
is the student waiter" In 999 cases
out OF 1000 the aforesaid 'sstudents"
have not brains enough to compete
with the most stupid darkey that ever
donned white apron. They are usu-
ally farmers sons who have read up in
dime literature of the many men of
mark who obtained their start in life
by working their passage, saving wood,
splitting rails, driving mules, keeping
district school, or attending a fancy
horse during vacation. A bright idea
gets under their skulls that by going
in as waiter they might get a few
tips, some good meals, and have good
time at the expense of somebody, and
so they start in as walters. A hotel
that INDUCES in such walters must be
a curiosity. We had an extended ex-
perience of one dinner, and that was
enough. The waiter was studying for
the ministry. and when asked for a
small bottle of claret nearly had fit,
and finally asked if spring water
wouldn't do just as well. as he was op-
posed to tasting or handling the dam
gerous stuff. That bright fellow may
now be among the heather, and that's

Everything Fair in War.

Jonas H, of Washington. Ind,
toward the close of the late war, was
body-servant to quartermaster, and
after the close, and when tho quarter
master had been mustered out, as Jonas
tells the story, he requested Smith, as
last service before parting, to take
large box on q dray to the freight
depot and ship it. asking Smith At the
same time IF he could read and write"
Jonas answered that he could not
started of with the box, and on the
way to the station removed the ship

quartermaster and that of the place the
box was to be shipped, and substituted
his own name and address, and by that
means obtained box of new army
blankets the quartermaster intended to
capture or steal from Uncle Sam.

The Vine in Bessarabia.

Although both climate and soil in
Besarabia are highly favorable to most
kinds of cultivation, the inhabitants
have hitherto devoted themselves al
most exclusively to cereal farming of
an extremely primitive type, whereby
the land is becoming ruined and ex-
hausted. A total change of method and
means is the sole remedy for this state
of things in agriculture. It is we'll
known that the vine and all orchard
trees will flourish in the province if
cultivated with moderate care and skill,
but these are sadly lacking. An i'm
provement can only be looked for from
a rational development of scientific
methods of cultivation and the intro
duction of better system of making
wine. These measures are the more
desirable since France, which used to
supply the wine markets of the world,
has been obliged by the ravages of the
phylloxera to diminish her expectation
at the same time that she produces an
inferior article fabricated from foreign
grapes. The measures most evidently
necessary to enable Bessarabia to enter
into competition in the wine trade are
the introduction of the cho;cer qualities
of vine and the construction of storage
vaults. This would require capital,
which is either not existent or very
sluggish in the country. AS there is
only super1icies of 10000 acres of
vineyards, which produce from 6,oOO,-
900 to 1000. 600 vedros of wine. Some
of this is sold at rubles the vedro, but
the ordinary quality is sold throughout
the province at ruble the vedro. For
eign fabricators have already discov-
cred its utility for the purposes, and
large purchases were made last year by
wine merchants who supply the London
market. A vedro equals three and a
quarter gallons.-London Times.

Women Who Eat Arsenic

Just take q good look at this woman
coming toward us and tell me what
you think of her." was the low-toned
remark of well-known physician.
The woman to whom he referred was
elegantly dressed in polka dot silk
walking costume. and her plump, we'll
developed figure was displayed with a
true fashionable precision.
$50 you didn't see anything queer
about her, ehP" asked the physician.
'Well, I'll tell you what saw. First,
that woman's eyelids. particularly the
lower ones, were puffy and full, pre-
senting the same appearance that en-
sues when one INDUCES in good fit of
crying. That complexion which you
admired was really and truly of an ala
baster whiteness, but the delicate pink
was produced by paint and the dead
white by arsenic.''
"Arsenic! How do you know she
takes arsenic?"
Because two years ago she came to
me, thin, almost gaunt woman, and
asked me for prescription for her
complexion, which was in a terrible
condition. You see she had been using
face powders and paints in her stage
make up and they had finally brought
on skin disease. Well, an arsenical
solution is the constituent part of any
prescription for the coplexion. gave
her such aprescription, but warned her
that she must use it in small doses, and
after three months she must gradually
increase the intervals between doses
until they finally ceased at the end of
the fourth month. She promised to
obey me, but she didn't. Just as soon
as she found that the arsenic was i'm
proving her compexion knew what
followed as if were there to see it.
She commenced to increase the doses,
in accordance with the popular fallacy
that if little is good more must be
bettor."
''Wcll, If arsenic produces all these
pleasant results, why shouldn't she
use itp''
Because" replied the physician with
savage emphasis, 'the good results
arc only temporary, and she will soon
become physical wreck. Before she
gets back to town from the road next
spring she will commence to notice,
while combing her hair, that it is drop
ping out very freely. I have written
to her, warning her that this and other
symptoms will soon develop. She don t
believe me now, but as soon as the hair
falling commences she will know am
speaking the truth. She will stop her
arsenic doses in a panic, and in two
weeks she will be the worst looking
object that ever wore female clothing,
The cutting off of the arsenic supply
will precipitate the very trouble she
will hope to avert. Her cheeks will
sink in, her finger nails will commence
to crack and split and before week
her complexion will be gone. Out of
sheer desperation she will resume her
arsenic and will be temporarily bene-
fitted. She will have the worst symp-
toms of arscnical poisoning before next
summer is over, and will be so hid
eously ugly that she will have to retire
from the stage, whether she wants to
or not.'
''What are the final results of the
diseasep''
''Palpitation of the heart, deadly
oppression in breathing, itching eyes,
stiffness of the joints and terrible
emaciation. In this condition the
slightest cold will bring on galloping
consumption and death, Yet l know
that arsenic eating is on the increase.
