Grudging Gifts.

Instances where legators have
thoroughly despised their legatees
and limited accordingly in their wills
are quite numerous. Aylett Stow. a
gentleman who died in London dur
ing the Revolutionary war, made
the following odd provisions:
"And lastly, be you sure to lay
out five guineas for the purchase of
a picture of the viper biting; the be-
nevolent hand of the person who
saved him from perishing in the
snow, if the same can be bought for
that money; and that you do, in
memory ofme, presentit to Esq,
a kings counsel, so that he may
have frequent opportunities of con-
templating it, "This is in lieu Of a
legacy of So, 900, which l had by a
former will, now revoked and burnt,
left to him."

..ther Bright, Wasn't It?

Not a thousand miles from Boston
dwells a man who has recently we'd a
third spouse. It was the somewhat
eccentric whim of the second wife to
to have picture painted wherein she
and the first wife were represented
as standing together with their arms
entwined about each others waists.
When the third wife came into power
she was at first somewhat puzzled to
know what to do with this extraordi-
nary production of combined affection
and art. With genuine woman's wit,
however, she hit upon the idea of
having the piece worked over, and
with what result may be judged from
a conversation in regard to the
picture which took place between the
bride and one of her wedding callers.
The visitor inquired if the picture rep
resented relatives of the family.
ssNo, not relatives, y the wife replied.
81 believe the originals were distant
connection of my husband, but the pic
ture represents Faith and Resignation.
It is thought that the figure of Faith
resembles former friend of Mr.
Smith, but cannot tell, as I never
saw her. Boston Transcript

En- glishmen as Husbands.

I wish a few American women could
have English hus bands for about one
month. They would then realize
what it means to take all the money
that Charles has got, while Charlie
laughs at your cuteness and then
laughs still more when at midday you
call him up on the telephone, ask
him if he loves you, tell him you have
seen bonnet that will make him
think you are Is years old, and repeat
that delicious day when you first met
him, and won't he please send you a
check for it?
The English husband is not built
this way. His creed is that women
should have as little money as posi-
BILE, as few desires, and then look as
well as women who have more money
and crafty all their wishes. The
Englishman as a man is most interest
ing-as husband he is a failure

a monstrous supposition not to be ac-

ment stunned, but amid roars of laugh
ter purse of nearly a dollar was col
lected and given to the guardian Of

A Hint for Dramatic Authors,

- 11luL lOI DId1udClC AuCAOTS.
The late Miss Mary Booth, the edit
ress of Harper's Bazaar, was not given
to jesting, because she was a woman of
serious mind, but she had dry humor
that was irresistible. I remember a
young western lady came on to New
York one winter, bringing nve-act
drama which she hoped to sell for UNI
told thousands. After bounding man
sgers for months and getting only po-
lite refusals, she said to Miss Booth one
day:
s'Don't you think there is some way
in which could have my play put on
the stage?''
s'Oh, yes" said Miss Booth with a
twinkle in her eye.
'sDo tell me how" cried the aspirant
for the laurels of Sardou.
''Why, ground up. It could be used
as snow storms"
What the young dramatist said after
that ] am not informed, but it must
have been dreadful remark. Town

The Speech Was Not Made.

A man who gets the reputation as a
good after dinner speaker is usually
one who has power to tell a story
we'll. 1t may not always be very new
story or a very witty one, but if it is
well told it is almost certain to be sue
cessful at a dinner party. One thing
is fatal in such an attempt
Sometimes, however, a success is won
in not telling story when it is ex-
pccted, in not making a speech when
people suppose that one is coming. A
certain famous and witty Englishman
visiting America, was asked to make
an after dinner speech at the ladies'
night of Boston club. It was lit
erary man, SO it was expected very
naturally that he would glorify his
profession and that of his hearers. In
stead of doing SO he rose gravely and,
with a serious glance at the f.uits of
the desserts still on the table before
him, began: Ladies and gentle
men, he repeated, Il come not-here
to talk
Ali eyes were turned toward him.
Ladies and gentlemen" he repeat
cd, 81 come not here to talk
People began to laugh. seeing that
brevity was really the ssul of his wit.
81 come not here to talk, said he,

another glance at the fruit and a
modest gesture of depreciation, come
not here to talk!''

laughed and applauded. Youths Com

Eastern Bridals.

All the nations originally captured
their brides, and anent this an article
in Blackwood's Magazine gives us some
interesting particulars. Traces OF this
primitive practice survive even IN
our civilized and complex marriage
service. The bridegroom takes
his best man. the youngest and most
daring among his associates, and goes
to carry off his bride in defiance of her
protecting bridesmaids, who in their
degenerate days exhaust their energies
by hurting satin shoes, rice, ETC., at
the retreating, but triumphant, BRIDE
groom.
Lo how the woman once was wooed!
Forth leaped the savage from his lair,
He felled her, and to nuptials rude
He dragged her bleeding by the hair.
Among the tribes of Western China
the brutal savagery Of the first assault
has disappeared. Among the Lolos in
Western China the bride on her we'd
ding morn, perches herself on the top
most branch of a large tree, while the
elder female members cluster on the
lower limbs, armed with sticks. The
bridegroom then Chambers up the tree,
assailed on all sides by blows, pushes
and punches from the dowagers, and it
is not until he has broken through the
defense, and captured the prize, that
he is allowed to carry off his bride.
For several days before the wedding
the Chinese bride and her companions
utter doleful cries and lamentations, in
ing her, but
What she thinks, from what she'll say,
Lies far as Scotland from Cathay.
On the marriage morn no traces of
grief disfgure the fair bride; and as
soon as the best man is announce
ed a large, red silk wrapper is
thrown over the brides head and face;
thus vailed, she is conducted by the
best man to the sedan chair in wait
ing. Accompanied by music, forerun-
ners and flowers, she is carried to the
door of her new home. As the chair
stops the bridegroom comes out and
taps on the door with his fan, upon
which it is opened up by the brides
maids, who help the bride to alight.
She is not, however, allowed to enter
the house in the ordinary way, but is
borne across the threshold on the back
of a servant and over a charcoal fire.
What may be the meaning of lifting
the bride over charcoal fire would be
hard to determine. It has been sug-
gested that it may be either an act of
publication or the fire may have been
originally intended to serve as bar
against the rescuing force, and to pre-
vent the possibility of escape on the
part of the bride. Having once been
safely deposited in the reception hall,
the lady prostrates herself before her
husband, and submits to have the red
vail lifted by her lord with a fan.

heather gods in my ears when I was

case SO long as she forgets that life is
a struggle anywhere, and feels that
she should be excused from helping to
carry the burdens of those by whom
she may be surrounded.
The mutual bearance and forbear-
ance Of life is as greatly the secret OF
happiness in marriage as in anything
else. We have to tolerate unpleasant
things in our companions in any rela-
tons of life, and why try to build up a
law of marriage in any other way?

A Chicken Eating Cater.

It is the custom of alligatOrs to move
across the country from one river to
another. The purpose of this migra-
ton is not learned. They go alone
and not in couples or droves as has
sometimes been reported. A short
time ago a monster alligator started
from the Hillsboro River to lake
back of Tampa, Fla. He passed
through the Central part of the town
and finally reached the back yard of
T. A. Wilson. The reptile found him
self in a flock Of chickens and began
at once to make a meal of them. This
raised such commotion in the poul-
try yard that Mr.. Wilson's attention
was attracted to it and he went out to
investigate. He discovered the sau-
rian, and with a we'll directed shot hit
him in the eye and killed him. The
big saurian was then cut open aud
skinned In his back which is more
like a piece of white leather than
anything else, except an ALI
gators back, were found a large
number of bullets which had passed
through the scales and embedded
themselves in the backbone. where
they had become fattened out and evil
IDENTIFY caused the reptile no uneasi-
ness. When opened, the stomach Of
the alligator was curiosity. A num-
Der of pieces of tin showed that he had
enjoyed a tin can lunch, while from
the fact that he had swallowed beer
bottle, it appeared that he was not a
prohibitionist. There were two small
fish, nearly whole, and a pair OF baby's
shoes. Il was not known whether he
had swallowed the child or whether
he had found the shoes where the
child had placed them and made a
meal of them, but every mother who
saw the tiny shoes shuddered and
clasped her own child tightly to her.
It will probably be never known how
the shoes came there; but it may be
that some mothers heart is sad over
the loss of the little one who wore the
tiny shoes. The alligator was skinned
and the skin sent to the tannery. The
reptile measured nine feet and seven
inches in length. st. Louis Globe

The science of good housekeeping
in these days, when we can buy so

superiority in any one thing as gem

do not need cooking schools for girls
so much as schools where all branches
Of home-making are taught, in order
to preserve the balance of usefulness
in the girls mind. A man does not
want to marry a chef de cuisine, and
it is no wonder the papers make fun OF
cooking schools. To learn one de-
partment of housekeeping to the neg.
lect OF every thing else is ruinous.
