HOW THEY DO 1t.
Subtle Advertising That Beats the Gar
ruious Advance Agent Hollow.

SuDtAe advertising lnaG the Oar-
ruious Advance Agent Hollow.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.
In the fine art Of advertising, the men
and women of the stage have obtained
an efficiency that sometimes puts to
shame their merely dramatic achieve
ments, and that excites the bitterest en-
Wy among those steady-going people
who pay for what is said about them
and their goods at the usual rates per
column. To keep thus constantly in
view, to leave no false impression on the
popular mind as to the clothes, food,
furniture, books, papers, beverages, CT
CARS, cheWing-gum, sports and hobbies,
most effected by the hero of the stage
argues the possession of something akin
to genius, and he is an absolute sort of
manager who cannot furnish new and
frequent excitements respecting the
star that he works TOR.
The agent who staggered into the Of
fees of provincial newspapers and by
gifts of injurious cigars and fitting dis
persal Of free tickets secured the publ
cation Of items avouching that he did
$50 more business in Kalamazoo, than
"Humpty Dumpty" did on the previous
week, that his advance sale in Patter-
son, n. J., was $l4 larger than it was last
year, that the Foquannock Putty blower
spoke of his show in higher terms than
it did of Booth-this growsome and IA
tiguing person is fading from view, and
his place is taken by unseen agents who
from unseen places set agoing rumors
that require much more inventiveness

memory than the perfunctorv advance

CuriOSities of Marriage.

Goethe said he married to obtain re-
spectability.
Wycherly, in his old age, married his
servant girl to spite her relations
The joining of right hands in ancient
times had the solemnity and validity of
an oath.
There is story of man who got
married because he inherited a four
post bedstead.
Giving ring is supposed to indicate
the eternity of the union, seeing that a
circle is endless.
A man got married because he had
bought piece Of silk cheap at a sale and
wanted wife to give it to.
Under the Roman empire marriage
was simply civil contract; hence we
read OF men putting away" their
wives.
Among the Jews the rule was for a
maiden to marry on the fourth and a
widow on the fifth day of the week-not
earlier.
In Jewish marriages the woman is
set on the right. but throughout Chris
tendon her place in the ceremony is on
the left.
In Roman marriage the bride was
purchased 10y the bridegroom's payment
of three pieces Of copper money to her
parents.
The Russians have story of widow
who was SO inconsolable tor the loss of
her husband that she took another to
keep her from fretting herself to death.
The custom of putting veil upon the
maid before the betrothal was done to
conceal her bushes at the first touch of
the mans hand and at the closing kiss
kissing the bride the moment the
marriage ceremonial ended. though not
now prescribed by the rubric Of the
Western churches, formerly was an i'm
perative act on the part of the bride
groom.
The early marriage ceremony among
the Anglo-Saxons consisted merely OF
Misunderstanding, or taking each other by
the hand, and pledging each other love
and affection in the presence of friends
and relatives.
An old adage thus lays down the
proper days for wedlock:

Bears and Wild Cats,
From q Port Jeryis Letter.


The hunters have been remarkably
successful in killing big bears in this
section lately. The other morning the
tracks of two of unusual size were dis
covered in the snow near West Brook
vile by Nathan Skinner. The nimals
had crosse d the Shawangunk Mountain
at this point, and were heading toward
the big forest track west of Oakland.
Skinner followed in pursuit, and after a
long chase be managed to shoot the big
ger bear, while the other escaped. The
carcass weighed 253 pounds.
Another bear, the biggest one seen
hereabouts in many years, has been
killed in New Jersey, tive miles below
here. The animal had been driven by
Pennsylvania hunters across the Della
ware River, and had taken refuge in a
barn on the farm of Oliver Cole, near
Flatbrookville, where its presence ter
rorized the country roundabout. The
Bensley brothers, famous hunters, were
sent for, and they came with Large
pack of dogs and invaded bruin in his
retreat. The dogs were sent into the
barn to drive the bear forth. but bruiu
speedily tore two or three of them to
pieces and put the rest to flight. About
this time Joe Benslev got a shot at the
bear through crack in the siding of
ire Darn ana broke the an1malS spine.
Even when thus disabled, he killed an
other dog which came within reach Of
his powerful paws. The brute's carcass
weighed $50 pounds. The skin, which
is jet black, was secured by Andrew
Yetter, the Blairstown lumber dealer.
Near the same locality, and on Shaw
angunk Range, Barney Mooney killed
the other day. after a savage hight with
his dogs, large Canadian lynx, an ami
NAL rarely seen in this region. The
lynx weighed twenty-three pounds,
and was three and half feet in length.

Prehistoric Bones.

A curious discovery has just been
made at Vimoutiers, France, by peas
ant living in the village of Cuttesson.
He was digging in his field when the
ground suddenly gave way, and he fell
into a hole ten feet in depth. The
peasant had accidentally lighted upon
a subterranean chamber, the existence
of which was not even suspected by the
country people. On examination a
number of human bones partially pet
rified We're found in an adjoining vault
constructed in the form of circle. The
bones are OF exceptionally large dimen-
slons, and appear to have belonged to
race Of gigantic stature and great breadth

studied the case on the spot are of
opinion that the bodies must have been

India it would seem, IS practically

ars in schools and colleges of all sorts is
only three and quarter millions, or
19per cent. Of the entire population.
These are mainly confined to the cities
and towns; and out of $50, 00O, 900 in all
India, less than IL 100000 can read and
write. A census OF the illiterates in the
various countries of the world, recently
published in Germany, places the three
Slavic States Roumania, Servia and Rus
STA at the head Of the list, with about
81 per cent. of the population unable to
read and write. OF the Latin speaking
races, Spain heads the list with So per

number 43 per cent; in Austria, 39; and

Queer Things About Cello.
From the Philadelphia INQUIRER.


Queen Marguerite, of Italy is one of
the best violincello players of the day.
This noble instrument has an increas-
ing fascination for the fair lady musl-
Clans, and the reason is not far off.
The cello is the most nearly human in
strument, because its range of tones
comedies with the human voice. Its
tones stir the bosom more easily to
sympathetic romances. Its size and
tension are nearly the same as the size
and tension of the human bosom, and
the vibration of one body is most apt to
thrill the other, just as the harpstrIng
which is most nearly in accord with an
other will vlbrate more easily with the
air waves. 1t is a curio s fact that
cello players more frequently observe
than any others that the strings of the
instrument will speak out quite loudly
when the voice strikes the tone of one
of its strings. Sitting alone in it's cor
ner, or hanging in it's closet, the instru-
ment often startles its masters guests
by suddenly adding loud note to
hearty laugh of some one of them.
And more laughable still, if one gives
his nose resonant blow land the hum
or Of the actual fact will excuse the
mention Of a disagreeable operation)
the cello will often take a spasmodic
snort itself, as if in sarcastic instruction
to its masters to learn to perform that
nasal cavatina in pianissimo tones.

Asland, the driven rain 1ncessant streams:

The wind blown poplar shifts from green to

And white to green as ai1nlessly as dreams.
Down leaps the torrent from the gurgling spout
And plunges, loan white, in the cask. The roof
Ike sounds with hasty droops. like hoof on hoof
or elfn horsemen-a wild, cantering rout
The windows stream and blur the world with
mist.

That broods upon its little wrongs and ills.
