QUAKER MARRIAGES.

A Glass of People Among Whom Divorces
Are Virtually Unknown.
Divorces are actually unknown among
the Quakers, and this absence is &C.
counted for by the extraordinary pre-
caution employed when two young per-
sons desire to be united in marriage.
The parties place their proposals of
marriage in written form, which is
referred to the society of which they
are members, and is acted upon at
preparation meeting" thereof. If all
the attendant circumstances are in
every respect in accordance with the
views of those present the proposal is
approved, and is then introduced at
the "monthly meeting" when it is
again passed upon a committee of in
vestigation into the characters, habits
and circumstances of the engaged
twain is appointed. These committees
always consist OF two members of each
sex The committee, after most thor
ough examination and investigation,
make it's reports generally at the sue
ceeding ''monthly' meeting. This
ends the preliminary arrangements,
and the twain are at liberty to proceed
in the accomplishment of their marriage,
a committee of two of each sex being
appointed by the meeting to see it or
derby conducted and the marriage GER
tifcate delivered to the recorder AS
rule the impressive ceremonies are
generally conducted at the home of the
bride, and occasionally in the meet
ing-house. At the nuptial ceremonies
the certificate is given to the couple,
which, after receiving their own sigma
lures, is in turn signed by every person
present, and frequently contains hun
dred names. Engagement or wedding
rings are rarely given. Interior.

Cutting a Fork Out Of a Stomach.

A novel and dangerous operation has
just been performed in Paris by DR.. Pol
ailion The patient was mountcbank
named Luchon, who, in the pursuit of
his call nr, swallowed large fork,
which stuck fast in his stomach. 1t was
in vain that he tried to get his fingers
down to the tips of the fox, so no had
to leave it there, in the hope that no
harm would ensue. In few days, how
ever, lie felt acute pains particularly when
Lis stomach was without food. DR..
Poaillon was unable to find the position
of the fork by means of the ordinary
sounding instrument, so he employed
another, with which he contrived to
touch the prongs. He then made an in
cision in the mans abdomen and cx-
tracted the fork. In his report to the
Academy on the subject, DR.. Polaillon
enumeratcs fourteen cases of similar
kind, in seven of which the fork on y
formed an abcess in the stomach. Lon,

Poisonous Honey.

A friend tells US that the honey made
by bees from the Towering shrub,
Andromenda Melissa, popularity called
kiil-calf," is very poisonous. This
plant is common in the sandy soil of
Long Island, and also from New Jeasey
to Florida. 1t grows from two to three
feet high, resembles the upland buckle
berry in appearance and fruit, and is
often mistaken for it. A spoonful Of
the honey produces burning sensation
in the mouth, throat and stomach, and
produces vomiting and paralysis if much
be taken. Although this plant is COM
mon over much of the country, it is
likely that in most places it is not SO
abundant as to furnish much food for
bees; but in Long Island, in the neigh
borhood CT our friends home, it grows
extensively over several miles of land,
and other flowers that produce honey
are so scarce that the bees may make q
a greater use of the "kill-calf" here thar
elsewhere. --ILera'd of Health.

Treatment OF Il Drg-bi'c.

Persons who have been bitten by dogs
whether mad Or otherwise, should at once
cleanse the wound very thoroughly with
warm water. If the dog is believed to
be mad, after cleansing the wound suck
it with the mouth, so as to draw oat as
much blood and fluid from the part as
possible; continue this for some time. II
this cannot be done by the sufferer, then
some friend should do it for him. There
is not the slightest danger in this ope-
ration unless there is some abrasion on
the lips or in the mouth. After this has
been done, cautcrzation may be rcsorted
to, but it is hardly necessary. To be
doubly sure, let the bitten person take, il
possible, Turkish baths two or three times
week for six or eight weeks. This OF
itselfis very excellent preventative from
its cleansing effects. -Herald Of Health.

A MORTIFIED LAWYER.
He Attempts to Isribe IL Treasury Clerk

He Attempts to Hrtbe II treasury Clerk,
who Exposes Him.
A young New York lawyer, belonging to
q rich and prominent New York family,
went to Washington to get an award Of
Sll, 900 made by the court of Alabama claims
in favor of one of his clients through the
treasury department. He was anxious TO
get the draft for thu amount, and, sharing
the opinion held by so many misnlormcd
people outside Of Washington, that corrup-
ton wins more than honesty in The depart
ment, he undertook to bride q clerk hav-
ing charge of the Alabama awards, with a
view to facilitate the consideration OF h s
particular case As the clerk was passing
him in the corridor he said, eau iously 10
III: 'Have a cigarT" The clerk, turning,
sad NO. and MS he did SO saw that the law
yer held II roll of greanbacks and not a cigar
in his hand. The c.erll said nothing more to
the awyer, but promptly reported tn facts
to the first comptro Ter. The latter laid them
efore the acting secretary of the treasury.
The result will probably be that the lawyer
will be excluded from practice before the de-
partment. The friends Of tn, lawyer say
that he was mis- cd by his theory that he was
simply following The customary course. He
is sad to be heal thy sorry and ashamed. He
is man of cultivation, and has some repu-
talon as Shakespea ian critic. His nano
is Withheld at the request of h s friends.
