A Proud Little Gotham Bride.

Guests invited to one of the prettiest
weddings Of the week were surprised TO
read in one corner of the dainty wedding
cards: mo gifts engraved in q quaint
arabesque scroll, which perforce attracted
attention. 1t requires some independence
of character and some self denial to go
counter to established custom in such q
matter, br' the dimpled little bride, who
looks more like a sweet, plump, pink and
white, grown up baby than a person OF
strong minded proclivities, announced to
her friends when they questioned her de-
cision: Il won't make my marriage to
Archie q donation party where all the

of three or four hundred Friends, and
everybody knows that a great many OF
them would buy presents for us not at
all because they love US, but because it is
the proper thing, and even if they can't
afford the outlay they mustn't be outdone
by rich Mrs. A. or Airs. B."-New York

The Fancy for whitc ret,.

There is something curious in n lady's
fancy for white pets. One tender crea.
ture, who would shrek in terror if q
sleek gray nous ran across the floor,
owns a pair Of white mice with pink
eyes, and often carries them in her mut'
when she is going 10 call OF a friend.
They are very tame, go 10 sleep in her
pocket, cuddle upon her shoulder and
nibble bits of cheese between her lips.
They have a little nest of pink cotton and
IA about the room "a they please.
White rats often find a fair owner and
seem 20 lose their responsiveness with
their change Of color. That is, a white
rat seems 10 create quite a different feel
ing from one of another color. They are
said % be more gentle, in q like manner
TO white horses. Keepersof livery stables
will tell you that timid women always
choose a white horse TO drive If there is
one in the stalls. Whether it Is a super
stition or not. there il always something
about white creatures that appeals 70 q
woman and seems 10 be fitting for the
tenderness, gentleness and purity OF her
sex.
II the old poets wished TO convey the
picture Of a pure, lovely woman, they
portrayed her accompanied by some
white bird or beast. Spencer's Una, the
heroine Of the Fiery Queen and the type
of truth, rode upon n "lowly ass more
white than snow, and 'by her in a line

sings OF the wedding Of two lovely
women, s~ymbolizing them as two white

At meeting Of the last congress OF
German scientists this subject was dis
cussed, and DR. II. Frank mentioned that
there are but two ways to stimulate the
heart-electricity and mechanical concus-
sion Of the heart. The first is considered
dangerous by him as it may easily destroy
the last power Of contraction remaining
in the organ. But what is termed pee
toral conclusion" is decidedly preferable.
DIR. Franks method is as follows: He
aexes the hands on the wrist to on obtuse
angle, places them both near each other
in the ileocecal region, and makes vigor-
Gus strokes in the direction Of the heart
and Of the diaphragm. These strokes are
repeated from fifteen TO twenty times, and
are succeeded By pause, during which
he strikes the chest over the heart re-
pea.edly with the palm Of his hand. In
favorable cases this method IS early sue
cessful and sometimes twitching OF the
lids or the angles of the mouth appears
with surprising rapidity as the first sign
of returning life. As soon as these symp-
toms are noted, the simple manipulatlons
above described must be earnestly con-
tinned ard perseyered in from half to
one hour, for, with their cessation, the
phenomena indicating beginning Of return
of life also cease. Generally, the face as
sumes a slight reddish tint. and at the
same time faint pulsation may be felt in
the carotids BY this method DIR Frank
has seen life return in fourteen cases,
among whom were such as had hung them
selves, drowned and ssphyxiated by car
bonic oxide. and in one case by Group
