SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.
A Concise and Useful Statement of FASH
ionable Wedding Customs.

A Concise and Useful Statement of FASH
ionable Wedding Customs.
The season of weddings being again near
at hand, the following concise statement Of
wedding etiquette, by one of New York's
leading social authorities, will be found
useful:
The bridegroom at morning wedding,i.
e., any time before o'clock, should wear a
black frock coat, which is still retained (al-
though there is a strong movement in favor
of the cutaway), light trousers, patent leather
shoes, white gros grain four.in-hand scarf,
pearl or lavender gloves, with broad black
stitching on the back, and silk hat.
The ushers and best man should be SINH
larly attired The bride, bridesmaids and
maid of honor should be in full dress At
the evening wedding the groom and ushers
should wear full evening dress, viz. dress
coat and waistcoat, trousers, patent leather
shoes, plain white shirt with three small gold
or imitation linen studs, self made white
lawn tie and white gloves with black stitch
ing on back. The brides parents pay for
and send out the invitations, supply the car
riages and give the wedding breakfast or
reception. The groom pays the clergyman
his fee and generally gives some trifie in the
A@A'
ushers He also gives the bride her bouquet.
The bride may furnish her bridesmaids
with full costume if she desires to The
best man remains with the groom in the
vestry until the bridal procession enters and
meets the bride in the chancel. The best man
holds the groom's hat during the ceremony
and hands him the ring at the proper mo-
ment. His other duties are to take general
charge of the arrangements, hand the clergy
man his fee, make himself agreeable to the
head bridesmaid or maid of honor and sup
port the groom in every way, especially if he
show signs of backing out. The order of the
bridal procession is ushers, bride on the arm
of her father or of whoever is to give her
away, maid of honor, brideswaids, brides
mother with groom's father, groom's mother
with brides uncle or other near relative and
two of the ushers. At house wedding there
is no formal procession. The bride comes in
on the groom's arm and advances to where
the clergyman is through lane formed by
the ushers and bridesmaids. At the reception
the guests are taken up by the ushers. The
newly married pair remain about an hour
and then leave as quietly as possible.

Building Rabbit Cotes.
Perhaps Of all pet animals-always except

none that are greater favorites than rabbits.

How to Build a Chimney.

To build chimney that will draw for
ever and not fill up with SCOT, says
Scientific American. you must build 1t
large enough-sixteen inches square; use
good brick and clay instead of lime up to
Che comb: plaster it inside with clay mixed
with salt; for chimney tops use the very
best of brick. wet them and lay them in
cement mortar The chimney should not
be built tight to beams and rafters; there
Is where the cracks in your chimneys
come and where most of the fires origi-
nate. as the chimney sometimes gets red
hot. A chimney built from cellar up is
better and less dangerous than one hung

How to Eat a Soft Boiled Egg.

According to Table Talk, the very incest
way of eating soft boiled egg is from the
shell, and it should be done thus: ,
Place the small end of the egg in an egg
cup, or you may stand it'in small napkin
ring The larger or butt end of the egg
should have the shell removed from it; then
if you take away small piece of the white
you have ample room for salt, pepper and
small piece of butter, which may be mixed
with the egg without difficulty. Long.
handled porcelain teaspoons are the incest and
only proper things to serve with boiled eggs
Soft boiled eggs may also be eaten from
heated egg glass; the egg being opened care
fully and turned into the glass. Salt, black
pepper and butter are the proper seasoning

Bows Who Succeed.

It often happens that two boys with the
same advantage and equally good training
make entirely different kind of men. The
one will succeed in life, while the other,
without being bad, never amounts to any
thing. Golden Days thinks that perhaps this
anecdote will explain something of the dis
parity in results:
A nurseryman left home for few days.
It was rainy weather, and not season for
sales. but a customer did arrive from dis
lance, tied up his horse, and went into the
kitchen, where two boys were cracking nuts.
"Is Mr.. Barnes at homer he asked.
"No." said Joe, the eldest, hammering at a
nut.
sWhen will he be back"
dunno. Mebbe not for week"
The youngest boy, Jim, promptly jumped
up and followed the irritated stranger out of
doors. ''The men are not here" he said, in a
bright and courteous manner, "but can
show YOU the stock" The stranger was
conciliated, and followed Jim through the
nursery, examining the trees, and left his
order. ''You have sold the largest bill of the
season, jim" said his father, greatly pleased,
on his return.
A few years afterward, these two boys were
left by their fathers death with but $500
apiece Joe bought an acre or two near
home, and, although he worked hard, he is
still poor, discontinued man. Jim bought
an emigrant's ticket to Colorado, hired out
as cattle driver for couple of years, and
with his wages bought land at sl.25 an acre,
built himself house, and married. Today
his herds are numbered by the thousand, his
land has been cut up in town lots, and he is
one of the wealthy men of the Centennial
state.
II might have done like Jim," said Joe,
resentfully, eff I'd only thought in time.
There's as good stuff in me as him."
Joe was right. He had the same stuff in
him. but it was not developed. The quick.
wide awake energy which causes boy to
act promptly and boldly in an emergency is
partly natural, but it can be inculcated by
parents, and it is worth more than any gift
of nature

FIG. "a CHEAP APIARY.

In summer, by lowering the inner doors
and raising the outer doors and hooking
them up, the bees have free access to the
hives while they can be protected from
heavy driving rains by unlocking the
outer doors and lowering them. In win
ter by closing all the doors and packing
between them with chaff good, warm

Pneumatic Massage.

A curious application Of the air pump,
devised by Dr. Breuillard Of France, which
is intended as substitute for ordinary mas
sage in producing a regular and continuous
traction Of the skin and subjacent tissues, is
described by Science News.
The instruments consist of an elliptical
piece of soft rubber, G, with cavity hol-
lowed out on the under side. This cavity
has two small openings, A and B, the latter
being prolonged into tube which connects
with flexible rubber pipe, T. This is at
tached to an air pump, V, which may be of
any desired pattern, although the water
pumps which can be attached to any water
faucet, and is continuous and automatic in
operation, is to be preferred, from its con-
venience and cheapness
To operate the apparatus the hollow piece
Of rubber-the ventouse, as Dr. Breuillard
calls it's pressed firmly against the body of
the patient and the air pump started. When
the opening (A) is closed by the finger the

Some boys and girls are content with Keep
ing common rabbits, while others, more
chary in their taste and choice, stock their
little rabbitries with the more expensive
fancy breeds, which in point Of beauty OF
color are unquestionably more worthy OF at
tention. Fancy rabbits are little more
delicate and require therefore more care IN
their management than dothe common ones.
The wild rabbit in general appearance
greatly resembles the hare yet the two
species never intermix. The tame rabbit was
originally the wild rabbit, which we have
domesticated and made larger by liberal
feeding and care. Common rabbits vary
greatly with regard to color, some being
black, others white, others mouse color,
others fawn, some brown and some gray
with tawny feet.
A fancy rabbit, in addition to perfect
shape, must have what is termed good
carriage. The correct arrangement OF colors
is a very important point, though the ears
are the most striking popularity OF the fancy
breeds. A rabbit is termed "horn Topped"
when its ears descend obliquely forward
from the side of the head and project out far
beyond the nose Another style of carrying
the ears is that of spreading them out hori-
zontally on each side; the animal possessing
such ears is termed an "oarlop" Then
there is the shat" or ''perfect top" one OF
the most valuable of all the fancy strains;
this carriage of the ears is exactly the re-
verse of the natural position, and rabbits
possessing it, if perfect in other respects, are
highly priced. Tf@

The experiments of DR.. Voelcker, of the
Royal society of England, proves that
manure gradually depreciates by keep
Ing, even under the very best manage
ment. 1t gains in water and loses in
valuable organic matter, which is spent
IN the fermentation.
The report of the Ohio experimental
station is that whole potatoes have invari.
ably given better results than cut ones.
Butter pals and pans should always be
,calded we'll with water in which little
baking soda has been dissolved. to re-
move any odors that may not have been
entirely removed with the first washing,
sor very slight particle will soon destroy
the best butter. Sunshine is very good,
but it don't always find the little seams
md cracks that often cause much trouble.
As soon as any crop is harvested the
rround should be cleared and something
Else planted to keep the soil covered and
exclude weeds that may run to seed and
give trouble next year.

Game Of It?-o9O. 900. 900 Private Fund.
What Napoleon Bonaparte did with the
enormous fortune he left somewhere when
sent to st. Helena, has since remained a mys-
terry. In 1912 he told Marshal Berthin, and
also Bourrienne, his private secretary, that he
had nearly 100, 900 900 francs, or 100000 900
in our money, to his personal fortune That
he did not expend it is certain, for there was
no occasion to do So Then, AS emperor,
tho national exchequer received and honored
his drafts. In 1906 Napoleon. after having
enriched all his family, had SIS, 600 of his
own. The money received from the United
States for the Louisiana purchase he used In
re-equipping that grand army that fought
and won at Austerlitz and Wagram. At
least q, 0O0,O of that money was never 90
counted for by the emperor. Where did hs

richest man in Europe in 1914, and not

Where did you come from. baby dears
Out Of the everywhere into here.
Where did you get your eyes so blue
Out Of the sky as came through.
What makes the light in them sparkle and spins
Some of the starry spikes left In.
Where did you get that little tear?
found it waiting when got here
What makes your forehead so smooth and highs
soft hand stroked it as went by.
What makes your cheek like warm white roseS
saw something better than any one knows.
Whence that three cornered smile Of bliss9
Three angels gave me at once kiss.
Where did you get this peary ear?
God spoke, and it came out to hear
Where did you get those arms and hands
Love made itself into hooks and bands.
Feet, whence did you come, you darling thingSS
From the same box as the cherub's wings.
How did they all come just to be you?
God thought Of me, and so grew.
But how did you come to us, you dear?
God thought Of you and so am here.

LETTERS FROM THE GOVERNORS.

1t is well-known fact that Ponds Ex-
tract is used and recommended by more
distinguished people than any preparation
or remedy extant.
In fact, there are distinguished people
who would not allow their names to be
used for anything else, who make an ex-
ception of Ponds Extract on account of its
standard, unfailing, never-disputed excel
lence of half century's standing.
1t is used in the household of the Presi-
dent as well as that OF the humblest citizen.
Members of the Army and the Navy, the
Bar and the Bench, the Pulpit and the
Press-all ranks and classes of people
have sent their personal experience and
thanks for the last forty years, until their
letters have filled volumes, testifying to the
wonderful cures effected by Ponds Extract.

sent to the present Governors of the differ
