Tied Hard and Fast,

From the indianapolis Journal.
An ld.time resident of the pleasant
city OF Madison relates q story that
has flavor of originality. One OF the
early judges OF Madison, Dawson
Blackmore, was called upon shortly
after his election to perform a mar.
riage ceremony at a private residence.
The notice was brief, and the Judge
prepared for the event by studying the
marriage ceremony in the Methodist
book of discipline. Fearing to TRUST
his memory he placed the book in his
pocket to refer to if necessary. When
the bridal party appeared before him
he had forgotten every word of the
ceremony, and feeling in his coat peck
ct for the book found it was gone, a
local wag had removed it, but the
Judge was equal to the occasion. AS
Stunning an unusual degree of judicial
dignity he said: "Hold up your right
hands! You, and each of you, do
so'emnly swear you will perform the
duties Of husband and wife to the best
ofyour abilities, so help you God? !
pronounce you man and wife,"

The Origin Of Lawn Tennis.
From the London Truth.

From the London Truth.
How few lawn tennis players know
who originated the game and where
the first game was played? This ex-
cellent pastime has now been in exist
ence for ten years, and it has prob
ably been q greater source of amuse-
ment than anything of the kind ever
invented. The originator and in.
ventor was Maj. Walter Wingfeld, of
Her Majesty's Body Guard, who in
1874 wrote little book, compiled
set of rules, and coined the outlandish
name "Sphairistike." The first game
ever played was in 1874, at Col. Nay
lor Leyland's house in Denbighshire.
The first public game ever played in
this country was at Princes Ground,
in the summer of 1875, the players
being Maj. Wingfeld, Mr.. Clement
Scott, Capt. Alfred Thompson and Mr..
Albany Erskine. 1t was openly jeered
at by a.crowd of racket and cricket
celebrities, who did their utmost to
ridicule the game in every way. But
in less than one month two courts
were taken at Princes for every hour
in the day. and the racket players and
ericketers had to "sipg small"

Disorders of Digestion.
DR.. T. Lander Brunton.

LIZ. IL AbLOeE OEuuUOu.
All the vital functions are more or
less processes of combustion, and
they are subject to laws similar to
those which regulate the burning of
coal in our fire-places. The reason
why we allow our fires to burn low, or
60 out altogether, is that we put on
too much coal, or that we allow them
to be smothered in ashes. 1t is the
child who pokes the fire from the top
to break the coal and make it burn
faster; the wise man pokes it from be-
low, so as to rake out the ashes and
allow free access of oxygen.
And 50 it is with the functions OF

Make Your Will.
BY Lucy Stone.


A great deal Of physical suffering
and mental misery might be prevent
ed if those who haveproperty to leave
would secure it by will to those who
are entitled to it, and for whom it is
intended. This is especially true in
the case OF husbands, the law for wild.
ows being neither generous nor just.
An Iowa woman moved to that state,
when it was new, with her husband.
They were both young. Together
they worked to clear the land to build
the log house; and when a'storm over.
took them before the rude shelter was
finished, they knelt together with
clasped hands under the quilt they
had spread to keep of the rain, and
thanked God for health and strength
and for each other.
Children came. The wife took care
OF the family, rode on the reaper and
the corn.planter; and cheerfully did
the housework. By-and.by the farm
was paid for. A new, handsome, con-
venient house vas built, but the Old log.
house left standing for the memories
it held. Everything was prosperous
and we'll to do. The years went by.
Suddenly the husband died without O.
will. The sons-in-law and daughters
in-law wanted to have the property
divided so that they could have their
share, and it was done. The woman,
whose lifetime of toll had 50 largely
contributed to make the property,
was left with the use of one.third.

home," she said. II thought had all
the rights needed. Now I know that
women need to help to make the laws

Cases like the above are very nu-
merous. They make their own appeal
for the ballot for women. In the
meantime, every man who wishes his
wife to be protected should protect
her by at once making q will.

From the San Francisco Alta.
A remarkably strange scene was en-.
acted at the depot opposite the
broadeuaRe ticket window recently.
A party Of Italians, consisting of four
women, one of whom was a pretty
young woman OF 20 years. had come
of the boat. 1t was a wedding party,
or rather the damsel had came from
tho country to meet her lover and be
married. Dusty and travel stained
as she was she could not possibly
meet her intended husband. Accord.
ingly the party slipped out of the
stream pouring from the ferry, and
gathered against the bull-head the
young lady commenced to divest her.
self OF her clothing. Regardless OF the
crowd which soon collected she pro.
ceeded' to strip herself until she was
standing in state of Eve.like SIMPLE
ity. Then she commenced to don her
wedding trousseau. This was soon
accomplished, and when the young
woman found herself completely ar
rayed for the nuptials she walked off
with her party through the laughing
crowd, unmindfIl both of the laughter
she excited or that she had done any
thing immodest or indescent. She
was, indeed. an exempli6cation of the
saying, .'Where ignorence is bliss tits
folly to be wise.'

New York Sun.
"Have you noticed the growing use
of quinine?' a druggist in the vicinity
of the Fifth Avenue Hotel asked re-
Gently. At the same moment he bowed
and smiled to q tall, -whiskered man
who strolled in.
"Just watch this customer" he said.
The man was very thin and cadav-
erous looking. Without saying word
he walked up to the soda fountain, and
the boy drew out a pill-box, poured
three pills into the palm of the Gus
toner hand, set glass of mineral
water in front of him, and turned to
the next customer. The tall man
swallowed the pills, drank the water,
turned on his heel, and stalked away
with another pleasant nod to the pro-
prietor.
''That costs him 81 40 week." said
the proprietor, land before long it
will kill him. He started to take one
five grain pill every night about six
months ago; he now takes fifteen grains
a night before he goes home, so that it
will brace him up for his dinner. With
in month he will be taking twenty
grains q night. Ofcourse he takes it
at home besides what he gets here.

three men who come in every day and

tation to weakly organized and frail
people. All they have to do is to swal-
low a pill or two, and they feel robust,
wide awake, and cheerful. The practice
grows on them continually, and it
seems to be spreading, for our sales Of
quinine are constantly growing. A
good proportion of the custom comes
from women who grow fatigued or

There was good luck. After each was
