minister looked embarrassed, but the
bride was as cool as could be. Then
suddenly the bridegroom said:
"That settles it. Ihad hat once"
and placing one knee on the lounge
he reached behind for it.
Five minutes jammed full of embar-
rasment passed with not a word, when
the moth er of the girl granted relief
by saying: "Come in to dinner"
Miss Moore sat beside the preacher
at the table and seemed to enjoy the
repast but she was obdurato when
urged to change her name, saying
that if he had no respect for her
before her marriage he would have
none after.
The disappointed man came to
town and filled himself with bad
whisky, and when the girl came with
her fathers family to have her picture
taken, she caught sight of the poor
fellow hugging lamp-post. That
night, unable longer to stand his dis
appointment, the forsaken lover at
tempted to take his life with laudanum.

Why She Gilted Him,

John S. Lightner, Of Cotton, Shas-
ia county,. CAL, became thoroughly
infatuated with Miss Amanda Moore,
San Francisco, and finally concluded
that he would pop the question. Up
on doing so he was readily accepted.
John visited his sweetheart often and
almost considered himself one of the
family. On Wednesday County
Clerk Seawill issued license and
John sought Rev. J. Simmons. He
proceeded to the house, where every.
body gave tokens of full preparati on
for the happy event. All the family
were present, with few friends, when
the couple marched in and took their
stand before the dominic,
The bride was beautifully dressed
in snowy white, and looked the picture
Of happiness and goodwill. The
bridegroom was attired in heavy
clothes he had worn all winter and
which were a little the worse for wear.
Nevertheless, above his unseemly at
tire he wore smiling face. It fairly
beamcd with satisfaction as the lovely
girl leaned upon his arm. The
preacher conducted the ceremony in
his usually impressive style, and
when he reached the declaration,
IF any can show just cause why they
may not be lawfully joined together
let them now speak or forever hold
their peace the bride stepped back
to sofa, seated herself and said, in a
clear, distinct voice
III have. Look at those clothes, ="
waving her hand toward the startled
bridegroom, and continued: "That
tells the tale, and shows what sort of
a husband he will make"
This was like clap of thunder ouu
of a clear sky. For a moment the
astonished man stood dazed. Friends
and relatives became nervous. The

He Was Excused.

A tramp who was making his way
around to the back door Of house
on Third avenue, says the Detroit
Free Press, found a man saving wood
in the rear yard, and after gazing at
him for a moment called out:
Are you workin' for old clothes p
"No, sir" was the reply.
"Hain't sawin' for your dinner Q"
"No, SIR"

"No, sir"

A Remarkable Table.

Inc NOrLnWeSteru Lancet gives
space to remarkable story taken
from l. Universe, relating to an at
tempt made to secure for the exhibit
ton of the Franklin Institute of Phila-
delphia most remarkable table at
present in the Patti palace in Florence.
OFT table l. Universe says: cit
was made by Giuseppe Sagatti, who
spent many years in finishing it. So
so far as one can see, it appears to be
curious work of marble of various
hues, for it looks like polished stone,
and yet it is composed only of the
muscles, hearts and intestines Of
human bodies. One hundred cadav-
ers were required to make it.
"The table is round, one meter in
diameter, with pedestal and four
clawed feet. the whole made Of petri-
fed human flesh. The author of this
work died fifty years ago. After
having passed through the hands of
three owners, the last of whom COM
mitted suicide. and sprinkled the
table with his blood, it reached the
Patti palace.
"Sagatti succeeded d in solidifying
the bodies by plunging them into
many mineral baths. He obtained
the cadavers from hospital. The
intestines serve for ornaments of the
pedestal the claws are made of
hearts, livers, and lungs, and preserve
the color of these tissues. The table
is made of muscles artistically arrang-
ed around it are a hundred eyes and
ears. which produce the most strange
effect. The eyes, it is said, seem to
be alive, and they look ut you at
whatever point you place yourself.
This was the most difficult work of
the artist. He was satisfied with his
achievements and communicated his
methods to scientists.
"The last owner of this table, Gil
acomo Rittaboca, had placed it in the
center of his saloon, and took pleasure
in showing it to guests, saying that it
was the work of an original sculptor
then in the evening he would explain
its real origin. One Christmas night
he had gathered together some friends
and they were playing cards on this
table. Rittaboca lost, and the eyes
of the table fascinated him he be-
came pale, agitated at last he rose
and walked about with hurried steps,
then came and sat down again and
lost still, disconnected by the fixity of
the looks which followed him. 1t
was proposed to change their places
and the importunate eyes were cover
ed over. 1T is useless, said he, and
he told his friend the whole story of
the table being made up of parts of
human bodies. 1t is not MARBLE
said he, 'it is flesh, real eyes, real
muscles, real hearts. See! they are
all alive. The eyes speak to you. /
can not endure them, they make me
mad Then suddenly he seized a
dagger, and before any one had time
to stop his arm, he had stabbed him
to the heart, exclaiming to his friends
Il am rid of them His blood poured
over the table and his corpse rolled
upon the floor. His heirs were glad
to sell the piece of furniture to the
Government, and if the guardian of
the Pitt palace is willing to lend it
to the exposition, Americans who are
fond of strong emotions may be salts
fed. u Union Medicale.

How Many Words in English

An interesting question suggested
by an ancient waif of book is the
number OF English words now exist
ing. Considerable difference of opin-
ion exists on this point. Mr. George
L. Marsh, an American author Of re-
pute, in his Lectures on the English
Language. estimates that the num-
her Tin 1861 probably does not
fall short of 100000" and large ad-
ditions, especially in art and science,
have come into use since that date.
Other writer's, however, come to a
di fIerent conclusion, and think that
40, 900 would include the whole. 1t
depends a good deal on how calcula-
tions are made. If all the subsidiary
words-participles and the Theatre
to be taken into account, it will
swell the sum total very considera-
bly,.
Taking the first three words that
occurred at random, we find that
/ from demonstrate" in one of our
modern dictionaries, there are thir-
teen derivatives, from the word
bright" there are twelve. and from
"deplore" there are ten. There is
also redundance in other forms. In
one OF Todds editions ofDr. johnson
there are upwards of eighty words
with the prefix ''all''-all-complying,
all divining, all.drowsy, and so on
a very notable instance ofdictionary
padding. In ways like these the vo.
cabularly may beindetinitely increas'
ed. Probably il we take leading
words and all their derivatives, the
number at the present time will ex'
coed Mr.. Marsh's estimate. An ap
proximate verification of this may bf
found by multiplying the number O
pages in any good modern dictiona'
~ by the average number of word:
in page,
Shakspeare's works, it is believed
include about l 3, 900 separate words
and Millions about 5000; but from
these figures we have no criterion o
the extent of the actual English vo
cabulary. 1t may he mentioned her
that while Cockeram has only abou
1000 or 5000 there are in Bailey
Dictionary approximately abou
SO, 900. and in Johnson's not NOR
than that. In some of the large
modern works, again, the figures, n
has been said, reach to upward G
I 100000 words.
