Marriage by Surprise.

An extraordinary occurrence has
taken place in one of the principal
churches of Madrid. in the parish OF
Santa Cruz. A priest had nearly
finished his mass and was in the act oil
pronouncing the sacramento words:
lite, missa est" when a young man,
aged .twenty-One, and a beautiful girl
of twenty suddenly approached the
altar railing with three middIe-aged
men. and the young couple cried
aloud: I'VE wish to be husband and
wife Here are our three witnesses. -
Now, it seems that under the canon
ical laws still regulating marriages In
Spain, Roman Catholics can thus
claim to be considered married by
surprise If they are skillful enough to
do so Just after the priest has uttered
the benediction at the close of mass
Formerly this stratagem was. as in the
present case. resorted to by young
people whose parents opposed their
union. When this occurred in the
church Of Santa Cruz scene Of con-
fusion ensued The priest retired to
the sacristy and sent for the police.

NOT FlRE.MAKERS.

Savages Who Are Ignorant OF All the
Methods Of Producing Fire.
It is not often that explorers dis
cover savage people who are ignorant
of the art of producing fire. As
far as is known, fire has been a
necessity even among the rudest saw
ages for many centuries, and it always
excites wonder when we hear at inter-
walls of people who. while enjoying the
blessings of fire, express themselves as
wholly ignorant of the methods of pro-
ducing it, and who imagine that if by
some calamity all their fires were ex-
tinguished they could never kindle
them.
Such a tribe has recently been met
by DIR. Finsch during his travels in
New Guinea He says the people in
the large villages that are buried in
the forests along the shores of As
trolabe bay know of no means by which
they can produce fire. 1t is therefore
a duty devolving upon every member
of the community to aid in preserving
fire. All their cooking is done outside
their huts in the open air, but in the
center of each hut is a fireplace, and ii
is q crime to permit the fire to go out
They use a hard wood that burns very
slowly, and their aim is TO keep a good
bed of Goals on which the wood burns
without bursting into fame.
DR.. Einsch asked the natives If they
never lost their fire. He.was told that
such q calamity had occurred, and
that they would never have had fire
again if it had not been for very
fortunate circumstance. They know
a tribe in the mountains away from
the sea who possess the art OF making
fire, which they guard as q secret.
One time the people were compelled to
90 to those fire-makers for the spark
that would rekindle the dead embers
in their huts. They carried the FIRE
for many miles. They were deter
mined never again to be reduced to
this necessity, though it mace them
feel very comfortable to think that
they could get fresh fire II they lost
their own.
It is to be presumed that these sim
ple-minded natives have now ceased
to guard the smoldering embers In
their huts with such jealous care. A

THE JUNIOR PARTNER.
A Modern Application Of the Hare
and Tortoise Fable.

Five strokes from the Office clock,
and Dick Perchmont shut his ledger as
If they marked an epoch. They did.
The probability was that he would
never place in it another figure, for
five more years were ended. and, ac-
cording to the policy of Deaker & Co.,
publishers, the senior of four partners
would retire on the morrow and a
trusted employee would become the
junior.
Having risen from office-boy to chief
book-keeper. Dick felt quite certain of
this promotion, and was. in conse-
quence. nightly impressed with his
importance. For it was an exalted
distinction to be Deaker. The firm
was power in financial circles; but
what served most to lift Dick skyward
was that to the highest society of the
great city its name was a passport

He slid off the high stool and began
preparations for going home. while
Tom Wilgus, with pen behind his ear,
turned around and seriously asked:

I'm not to become partner. I've too

With which impressive advice the
future .Deaker strutted forth to a car.
Dick Perchmont as book-keeper
had wooed Annie Jermyn. q young

Then Tom slowly told how he had
watched Emmert's extravagance, and.
knowing tAat he had Lost heavily in q

hide his face. but Isaw 1t was pale and

found his check-book. Three checks
were just torn out, leaving the stubs

"Well. wellr' they all cried. as Tom
paused.
Cant you guess. gentlemen? To
meet the heavy expenses of our new
building, Emmert has collected all
the available funds in three banks"
"But he couldn't use the checks, /"
said Edward. confidently. The banks
all know that our checks must be
signed by two members of the firm. "
From the sofa came groan: Rich
ard had sunk upon it, wringing his
hands.
II have reason to know, gentlemen.

by Emmert and-and Perchmont.
I'VE are lost, then. Father, have

II tied up the last available funds

Tom. II followed Emmert to his
home and forced an entrance. He
was packing sachel. There was a
struggles; but here are the checks"
He produced them, and sank ex-
hausted into a chair.
An explanation from Dick was de-
manded, which was that Emmert,
working upon his infatuation for So
phia. had induced him to sign the
checks, but he earnestly asserted that
he was entirely innocent as to their
intended purpose.
'In fact" said old Sydney, ''your
head has been turned. I've been
watching you. You must remember,
Richard, that dash and style don't
make business, nor fine clothes and
gay acquaintances and empty womanly
beauty. make life. We must recon-
struct the firm. For your worthy
mothers sake. we won't dismiss you;
but l think another term of five years
as book-keeper will condense your
giddiness into business, and propose
that Tom Wilgus be junior partner.
And as Tom Wilgus rode home with
Annie Jermyn, he asked, in his plod-
ding way:
'Annie, will you be the wife of the
junior partner?"
'Oh, Tom-Tom!'
Which meant '.yes," of course. And
as Dick Perchmont sees the slow but
telling methods of the new junior he
believes there may be, after all. mod

remembers the vanished Emmerts as
