Getting Married in Louisiana.

GettinS Married In Louisiana.
Philadelphia Times: 1t is not such an
easy thing for a stranger to get married
in Louisiana. In the first place, a IL
cense costs $3.50, and before the cere-
mony can be performed a prospective
bridegroom has to give a bond and Sc
curity to the sum of 50, 500 for the proper
maintenance of his bride through mar
ried life. Imagine the dilemma of a
man who arrives in the night, knows
nobody except his girl, and wants to get
married at early ~candle-light and take
the next train. He has got to go out
among strangers, who very probably
have been .apprised beforehand of the
nature of his mission, and are more or
less Jealous of him, and make n 50 800
bond before the ceremony u proceed.
Earned the Marriage License.
Some time ago County Clerk King an
nounced, says the Saginaw Mich Cour-
Ter, that ne would give the first young
lady who stated that she had asked "a
young man to marry her a marriage Ii
cense free. Yesterday a young woman
entered the clerks Office and inquired
If the above offer still remained good,
and upon m affirmative answer being
given, said she was entitled to the GER
tificate. She gave her name as Eliza
Willett, ner age as twenty-one and her
residence in East Saginaw, and stated
that she had popped the question" to
Joseph S. Griffin, aged t~wenty-nine, of
East Saginaw, and he had answered in
the affirmative, The clerk kept his
promise and the license was issued free.

There was no question they were

aid, the lady was young, not pretty, but
with a pleasant face, the color and
freshness of which indicated country.
Her escort was a stout, manly looking
chap, who would have shown to better
advantage in different clothes, for his
p~antaloops were much wrinkled at the
knees, and each leg seemed to vie with
the other as TO which could climb the
highest. But George was. all uncon-
scious of their efforts, and was wholly
engrossed in keeping close TO the lady's

herself, for, as the head waiter pulled
back the two corner chairs at the table

Darling George; l want you right by my

them seats together and stood mute

ANCESTORS FOR SALE.

Auction in London.

A Complete Set of Forefathers Put Up at
Auction in London.
81 went one day into the store of Ag-
new, the famous picture dealer, and
found there the whole portrait gallery
of one OF the oldest families in England.
| The founder was ennobled centuries
ago for distinguished services as a SOL
der, and there was his portrait and
| those of the Earls and Countesses and
Lords, and ladies, many of the former
! famous in arms and craftsmanship, and
the latter as beauties in their time,
down to the present holder of the title.
1t was the most brilliant opportunity
ever offered for a suddenly-made rich
man, who was in doubt as to the iden-
tity of his grandfather, to buy a ready
made ancestry of the purest blood.
The most curious development of this
unique exhibition was that the por-
traits of the ladies were valued at from
ten to twenty times more than those of
the men. While the Cabinet Minister
of Lord High Admiral was priced at
say 81, 1000, his wife, if by Sir Joshua
Reynolds or Gainsborough, might be
valued at $4,000.
Some of these ancestors had served
as Admiral against the Spanish Ar
NADIA, as Generals under Marlborough,
and as gallant officers at Waterloo,
and the ladies had stood high in the
favor of Queen Elizabeth, and been
famous favorites at the court of Queen
Anne. They were all arrayed in the
costumes of their several periods,
which best showed their rank and i'm
portance, and died in the belief that
they would forever hold their places
in the family gallery which would be
continued until the end of time. 1t
wildly recalled that incident in one of
Gilbert d Sullivan's operas where the
recent purchaser of an estate, pointing
to collection of old tombstones and
monuments, says: These are my an
cestors, | paid for them The one
subject which an American, if he is
wise, never starts on the other side is
the question of ancestry. The nobility
of all the countries of Europe reckons
any family parvenu which had not
worn spurs, crests and title before our
American revolution, and whether we
are of yesterday or earlier does not in
terest them. This sentiment has its
compensations, because an American
man or woman is valued at his CT her
own merit, and not on account CT the
distinction of some remote ancestors.

tiated for, after the Chinese fashion,
by an agent of the bridegroom. She
cost over $4,000, and he means to
keep her to himself. Even at the mar
riage ceremony in the jost house she
was made to hide her face behind fan,
although the only witnesses present
were a few carefully-chosen Cinnamon.
At her own reception, subsequently,
only Chinese women were present.
This was the affair to which party
of Fifth avenue swells desired earnestly
to go, but from which they were ex-
cluded as unworthy, just as they them
selves shut out other people. In a
conversation on the subject Mrs. Will
lam X. Vanderbilt remarked that she
had an ardent desire to see some Chi.
nese women.
THAT would be difficult" replied
clergyman familiar with the subject,
"because the Chinese women in this
city are kept sedulously secluded.
There are something like 10000 Chi
nese in New York and its immediate
neighborhood. Probably 200 of them
are females. By great effort several
hundred of the men have been gathered
into Sunday-schools, but never
single woman or girl. To subject a
woman to the slightest publicity is to
degrade her, according to the time
honored belief of the Chinese, and no.
body here has yet been able to contro-
vert that doctrine successfully
1t is a further fact that the China
men who go to Sunday-schocls do not
in the least abate their conviction that
women who mingle with men are nee
essarily blameworthy to that extent.
These fellows may treat their Sunday
school teachers-who are not only all
ladies, but are proportional at the
rate of one to each and every pupil
with polite show of respect, but
they can not be brought to regard
them as good women in the sense that
secluded Chinese women are good
This notion crops out repeatedly in
the Sunday-schools, and nothing can
eradicate it from the Chinese mind

Something About Anti-Pyrine and Similar
Seductive Remedies.
At late meeting of the doctors of
France at Marseilles part of the pro-
gramme was an excursion to Algiers;
and before they sailed one among them
announced the preventive virtues of
anti-pyrine in sea-sickness. Now, :"
said he, ''there is an opportunity to
test its value in way rarely occur

doctors of us going to sea, not one of
whom is sailor Let us all take the
drug, sail across the middle sea like
veterans and enjoy our little trip like
old salts"
Adopted. So every doctor armed
himself with capsules of anti-pyrine
and began to take them as the ship
swung out of the dock and headed for
Africa; and in half an hour after
ward that society, without ex-
ception, was laid out. They stuck
manfully to the remedy, determined to
give it fair play; but when they landed
in the morning, a dragged-out, dilapi
dated-looElng set, the vote that anti
pyrine was a miserable delusiOn in
sea-sickness, passed by large vote-a
strictly unanimous one.
AS temporary relief for headache
it has considerable value; but it is as
insidiOus as choral and even more
seductive. All these drugs have about
the same biography. They come in
with trumpet blast and beat of drum,

themselves among the people like a
pestilence, are eagerly seized by youth

gradually subside out of public sight,
leaving behind some victims to their

ITALIAN MACARONI.
The Process by Which This Wholesome
Food Is Made.

The Process by Which This Wholesome
Food Is Made.
Macaroni is an Italian invention, and
though the process of its manufacture
is very simple, it has never been pro-
duced so successfully in any other
country. This is said to be because
Italian macaroni is made from a pecul-
lar kind of wheat named grano duro,
or hard grain. At first it was import
ed at considerable expense from the
Russian territories on the Black sea.
This grain which is now extensively
grown by the farmers of Southern
Italy is said to possess a much greater
amount of gluten than other varieties
of wheat. and to be therefore better
adapted for the macaroni manufacture.
Its kernel is very small. After the
wheat has been washed it is hulled and
ground and passed through several
sleeves to separate the finer from the
coarser flour. Five qualities are
obtained by as many siftings,
the last the finest that can
be made. The flour is mixed with hot
water to the consistency of stiff
dough, and is then kneaded by means
of wooden pole fastened to a post and
worked up and down upon the paste;
or the cheaDer grades are often made
by treading the dough with the feet.
When the paste has been kneaded for
a long time it is put into a trough or
iron vessel containing a large number
of small holes of two sizes, the paste
passing through the smallest becoming
vermicell. Over the larger holes are
little copper bridges, from which cop
per wire passes through each hole, and
this makes the hollow tubes of the
macaroni. When this vessel is filled
with the dough a press is driven in
upon 1t, and as fast as it is forced
through the holes workman takes up
the macaroni or vermicelli, as the case
may be, and lays it across a line to dry
in lengths of two or three yards, after
which it is ready for market. A cur
rent of hot air passing through the
tubes and strings as they are being
formed partially cooks them, and they
are dried by hot-air currents, sc that
in preparation for the table no long
cooking process is necessary for this
food. Chicago Inter Ocean.

CHEAP ALUMINIUM.
Secret of Remarkable Value to Iron
and Steel Industries.

| A Secret of Remarkable Value to Iron
and Steel Industries.
The United States Secret-Service
officers at Cincinnati, O., have I'M
earthed a great invention. For three
years past people of Newport, Ky,
have been greatly exercised over
some mysterious doings in an old
building on the outskirts of town near
the mills. Any one approaching the
premises was at once ordered off. 1t
soon get rumored around that it was a
den of counterfeiters; that at night
thieves and highwaymen remelted
stolen jewelry, and suspicious
looking experts were noticed to enter
the old works. Stag, containing
traces of some brilliant metal was
found as evidence. This reaching the
ears of the United States authorities,
Thomas Coyne, of the Newport De-
tective Agency stationed there, was
put on the case.
He visited the old works, demanded
admission, which was granted to the
officer, and when he came away re-
ported the mysterious works only
chemical decomposition and analytical
study. His visit, however, brought to
light the fact that in the old smelling
works a chemical process had been
perfected, that the brilliant particles
of metal gathered off the Stag dump
being nothing less than pure aluminium,
which had been smelted in water
jacketed steel retorts distilled from
clay-cryolite, carbon, fuoride fuxe
and other ingredients, crucibles being
useless to resist the strong basic fiuxes

the substance of the pot, becoming it.
self dark gray and brittle in con-
sequence. Mr.. Charles L. Harris
field, of Newport, KY, the ex-
perimenter in question, was seen by
your correspondent and acknowledged
that he had made the discovery, based
upon the theory of substitution without
the use of sodium, obviating the neces-
sity of the usual costly intermediary
elements. The Importance of such a
process can be judged, aluminium being
the most generally diffused metal upon
earth; it has all the beauty of silver,
merchandising, nOn-corrosive, stronger
and more lasting than silver, with only
one-fourth its weight, while for electro
plating purposes is superior to either
silver or gold. When alleged, one
tenth of one per cent. of aluminium to
iron, steel or copper, increases the
homogeneous and tensile strength of
the metal nearly one-half. The value
of this metal is inestimable, owing to
its alloying tenacity with any metal. -

REPAIRING BARNS.
Few Suggestions Which May Prove VAL
liable to Many Farmers.

liable to Many Farmers.
A barn improperly repaired is often
better left alone. Too little attention is
generally given to light and ventila-
ton. All know the consequences of
improper ventilation, but the necessity
of light is not so generally understood,
or if known is not appreciated. Grass,
for an apparent illustration, does not
do well in shady places; it has sickly
look and is unhealthy. A close OBJ
server can notice the same general APP
pearance in animals, especially in
calves and colts deprived of light.
Plenty of light is necessary for
the most perfect development of
almost all animals. To say that
too little light in a barn is the
cause of considerable lameness among
horses is putting itrather mildly. Take
an animal from dark stall, lead him
to the door upon a bright sunshiny
day when the ground is covered with
snow. Immediately hitch him up.
Take a drive of several miles, and dur
the animal closely. If he does not
make some misstep, stumble over or
hit his foot against something, e5-
pecially if he is refined up tight, it will
be miracle. If you would know the
full effects or the exact feelings, try it
on yourself. Stay in dark room for
several hours, then go out into the
bright sunlight when the ground is
covered with snow, but do not shade
your eyes. A person once having
tried the experiment will thereafter
see that his driving horse, at any rate,
will have suffi cient amount of light.
The stables can be very easily ar
ranged so that each animal will get at
least part of the light of one window.
But better still, the light should be
such as to make the whole stable equal
ly bright The alterations WILL of
course, depend upon the building. An
other essential point is the subject of
drainage, which too often is the cause
of impure air and many diseases of the
feet, as well as of the system generally.
1t must be further remembered that a
healthy colt is naturally full of mis-
chief, and if he gets half a chance is
very liable to get tangled up in the
managers or divisions between stalls ii
these are not properly adjusted. Even
the old reliable animals, when not at
work, will get into trouble sometimes
if the stables are not properly repaired.
A little foresight in the planning and
repairing of barns may do much in
preventing serious accidents -Oy qnae
