Hardly week goes by" said par
ior-car porter to on Echo reporter, "that
don't see brids. couple just starting
on their honeymoon. don't exacsly
know how can tell them, but they are
as plainly marked TO my eyes as II they
had the words bride and 'brideT, oom
stamped In big lottS7tr on their fore
heads. There is something about them
that gives the whole situation away--a
kind OF cling g-next-to-me-darling air. OF
course, have made mistake now and
then, but it's very seldom do, and I've
often found out, aftor changing my mind
two or three times, that ] was right
after all. though certain appearances
we're against it, We have one test
which never fails, and when doubtful
party comes VIC try it on them. just to
be sure, you know"
"What is the test?"
swell, I'll tell you. Not many weeks
ago a couple got into car and sat down
very quietly, as II they had been used
to 1t oil their lives These didn't seem
to have the bride and bridegroom air
about thcm at all, and from external APP
pearances they might have been brother
and sister, or married for years. but still
there was something there that made
me suspicious; so when | saw them TO-
gether | went TO the newsboy, and
says: Bill, here's double party; Gel
out the sample copies
$50 Bill got his tests and walket
through tho car. He offered books o
newspapers to everybody and when b,
came to the suspected party he took ou
OF his pile two little books and said, s.
that nearly everybody could hear him
Very useful books, sir; hints on house
keeping and hints to newly-married pee
: pie. Only twenty-five cents"
"That did it. The girl got as red as
rose, and the man blushed and said
weak sort OF 'N-n-n-no.' Then the
looked at each other and sort OF sniG
gered, and | caught him full In the ey
and smiled sweet smile, giving him
respectful wink at the same time.
8 was all settled in minute; there wa
. no doubt about II.
"There arc plenty Of other ways b
= which can spot . bride and brid
Groom, and they are as safe generally
the test.
"The custom Of throwing rice after
bridal couple always makes 1t unplea
ant for the party, as lots OF rice is
most sure to stick to their clothes, hal
m and in their hair"
- "Why do you take such pains to fl
out whether they are newly married
- not?"
"oh, when they see me tumble to

SATIRE IN WILLS.
Queer Documents Left Behind Them by
Eccentric Old Fellows.

Queer Docum ents Left Behind Them by
Eccentric Old Fellows.
One might suppose that will-making
was any thing buta merry occupation,
and yet the drollery OF the Wills that
some eccentric old fellows have left
behind them could hardly be surpassed.
says the New York Ledger. Dean
Swift could not have concocted more
bitter Joke than that OF the testator
who, after reciting the obligations he
was under TO q particular friend, be-
aueathed to him, at the bottom OF the
first page OF his will ten thousand =
dollars, OF course, thought the delight
cd legatee; but, on turning the leaf, the
beouest was discovered TO be ten thou
sand thanks. What a wet blanket for
great expectations"
Just as odd was the codicil Of the
death-stricken humorist who left TO GER
tain OF his dear relatives las many
acres OF land as shall be found equal tc
the area inclosed by the track OF the
center OF tho oscillation OF the eartf
in revolution round the sun, supposint
the mean distance OF tho sun to b'
twenty-one thousand six hundred semi
diameters OF the earth from It." Thii
was century ago; and as the prob
lem could not be satisfactorily WORKED
out, the legatees were kept At q paed'
distance from the property all thei
lives.
A very neat reproach was conveyed
in the will OF an uncle who bequeathe'
eleven silver spoons to his nephew
with the remark: "If have not left hir
the dozen ho knows the reasonI' tn
