Engagements in FRANCE.

Engagements in France do not gener-
ally last very long, three or four months
being often the limit, and this time Is
hardly sufficient to prepare the extensive
trousseau required. The corbeille de
marriage is an unheard of thing in our
country, but it is essential in France. It
is the gift Of the future husband and his
family, and must be furnished with all
that IS beautiful and costly. The CASH
mere shawls, the velvet dresses, diamonds
and pearls are the first gifts, and then
come the priceless laces, sets of precious
stones and the family jewels.-The Argo-

Much has been written about the ter
rible loss of life in the northwest during
the blizzard being due to the scarcity OF
buffalo robes, which contribute the only
defense against the rigors of that country.
1t is true that buffalo robe or coat is
now beyond the reach of those with
slender purses, and it is true that for GER
tain purposes the buffalo hide and fur are
superior to any others. This leads me to
the suggestion that if some Of the great
cattle kings of the west would give up
raising cattle and go into buffalo farming
they would find it an immensely
profitable business. Not only would
every hide obtainable find a ready sale,
but the meat would find a market in the
cities, and the refuse of the carcass could
be made into the dozen articles of profit
able commerce that the steer now affords.

whom Life Has Di.c,n,,ned

The middle aged, who have lived
through their strongest emotions, but are
yet in the time when memory is still half
passionate and not merely contemnlative,
should surely be a sort of natural priest

secrated to be the refuge and rescue Of

despair r-George Eliot.

Concerning Color Blindness.

Professor w. Ramsay suggests that
color blindness is probably defect of tho

to the dullness which prevents person
from distinguishing an octave's differ

both notes are heard, there being no deaf
ness.-Pittsburg Bulletin.

An English historian while writing, it

new cigar holder. This has the ordinary

are holes in these branches, into which the
cigars are placed, as many as four at a

editor of the GAINESVILLE wis., Argus,
whose wife's sensational elopement with
Rev. David Seymour excited so much
interest all over the country. Mr..
Henry was asked if the rumor was true
that he aud his divorced wife were on
the point of a second marriage, and re-
piled: Yes, Don in a few weeks.
Some people may think it strange that
| should marry the wOman again, but if
they could only see how delighted my
children are when they see me in COM
pany with their mother they would not
blame me. My children are dearer to
me than my life, and | m will to do
anything that will promote their happi-
ness.".
Mr.. Henry intends to remain in
GAINESVILLE and expects hat time will
bury from sight and hearing the much
to-be-regretted episode that struck a
blow at the happiness of so many peo-
pie.
AS the matter has gained national
nOtoriety Mr.. Henry is perfectly will
ing that everybody shauld know that
he is about again to clasp the erring
woman to his bosom.
After Henry had caught the couple
and brought his wife back, Seymour
came west again. His long-sutfering
and patient wife had forgiven him. He
went to a little own in Michigan and
began life over again as a laborer. The
man whom he had wronged was his
Nemesis. Mr.. Henry, learning where
Seymour was located, had some circu-
lars printed giving a complete record
OF the reverend scOundrel's wicked
ness. These he caused to be distribu-
ted broadcast in the town where Sey-
mour was living, and the disgraced
preacher had to leave town.
