Loves Disvuises.

The anxiety of newly married couples
to appear ''lilSe old married folks is pro-
verbal. When eN-Secretary of the Navy
Whitney, then a promising young attor-
ney, was united in marriage to Miss
Flora Payne they started from Cleve-
land on their wedding trip firmly resolv.
ed to appear as if they had been married
for years. "Now if 1 appear q little
cold," said Mr.. Whitney to his bride,
remember l am only acting my part. /"
When the train reached Ashtabula a
verdant couple, showing beyond all
doubt that they had just come from the
altar, came into the Car where Mr.. and
Mrs. Whitney We're seated. "Why, any,
body could tell that that couple had Just
been married, said Mr.. Whitney. "Just
look at the mans bumps, tho wo1nan's
flowers and all that.
"Nobody would doubt that they are
bride and groom. Their dress shows that
to anybody, but don't believe we look
quite SO green" After u few hours the
train stopped at a station, and MI. Whit
ney left the car for Il few moments to
smoke cigar. AS he paced up and
down the platform enjoying his Havana
the Ashtabula groom stepped up and
asked Mr.. Whitney for u light. The
Ashtabula stosie was hardly lighted
when the man who was putting it, show
ing disposition to be friendly, remarked
to Mr. Whitney, "Well, partner, guess
we're i'll the same boat" Mr.. Whitney
was disgusted. He returned to tho car
and explained to Mrs. Whitney, "Flora,
it's no use. Even that greenhorn from
Ashtabula has spotted s."-Clcveland

The Way in the Provinces.

While in Canada recently went into
a candy store to make purchase, and,
as had always done at home. sampled
some of the varieties piled on the counter,
And what do you think found? Cayenne
pepper! AT first 1 supposed it was some
candy made for April FOOLS day, but
when l sampled two other piles which
looked tempting, and from which, had
they pleased me, l should have purchased,
l found that cayenne pepper was in each
piece. "1n order to stop customers eat
ing candy they don't pay for" said my
companion. tell you I was mad; and
when thought of the way in this
country, where one is asked to sample
everything unknown before buying, l
told the clerk didn't want the cara

A Long Race.

Steamship races across the Atlantic are
common enough-more common, per-
haps, than they should be-but n race
merely from New York to Liverpool is a
small affair compared with ono which
took place recently between the French
steamship Salazie and the English steam
ship Orizaba, which had little trial of
speed between Melbourne and Marseilles.
by way of the Suez canal-a total dis
tance of some II 900 miles.
The Salazie did not start from Mel
bourne until three hours after the ORR
zaba had sailed. She arrived at Ade-
laide, South Australia, at about the
same time. After touching at Albany,
Western Australia, together tho two
steamers, though both made the very
best possible time across the Indian
ocean, saw nothing more of each other
until they had entered the Red sea.
Here the French steamer was found to
be some distance in advance of the En-
glish, although they were in plain view
of each other. The Englishman gave
chase, and succeeded in overhauling but
not in passing the Salazie, and the latter
preceded the Orizaba through the canal.
The Orizaba and tho Salazie kept quite
near together throughout the journey
through the Mediterranean. The Grace"
was not really long struggle, covering
the distance of more than ten thousand
miles between Melbourne and Marseilles.
but rather "brush" for precedence in
the Suez canal. The great ocean going
steamers often journey very near to-
gether on long yoyages.-Youth's Com

Getting Ready for the Old Master

A young lady came to a Boston ar
tist to take lessons, and after she had in
formed him that she expected to go
abroad in three months and in that time
wished to learn to copy the old masters
in order to partly pay her expenses in
Europe, sho added:
II suppose pastels will be hard to
pack, won't they?"
"Pastels!" he repeated. care you in
tending to make copies Of the old mas
ters in pastels?'
"Well," she answered, "that's one of
the things wanted to ask you. Pastels
wouldn't have to dry, you know, and l
could wear gloves so that shouldn't get
my fingers slnutted; only did not know
whether they would pack WE'LL"
Tho artist looked at her moment in
silent amazement and decided that she
was not quizzing him, but was in sober
earnest.
81 dare say pastels would by all means
be best for you" he said, "but I do not
give lessons in pastel. You will have to
find somebody else. Boston Courier.

Self Doctorins in Epidemics.

Self doctoring is always dangerous,
except for the simplest ailments. Few
persons understand the significance of
their symptoms; the difficulty of doing
SO is greatly increased by the complex
nature of most diseases, and the modifi-
cation of treatment demanded by indi-
vidual temperament and hereditary ten
dencies. Even if the patient knows what
ails him he is not likely to know the
remedy, tho size and frequency of the
dose, and the proper regulation of the
diet in connection with it.
Howprofound is the general ignorance
upon this subject is shown by the enor-
NOUS consumption of medicines. Multi
tudes of people try one nostrum after
another in utter blindness. If all such
compounds We're thrown into the sea it
would save every year millions of dollars
and thousands of lives.
During the prevalence of widespread
epidemic self doctoring becomes pccul-
iarly perilous. Fear is in the air, and is
more contagious than smallpox itself.
Under its influence men fly to drugs
either to ward off the dreaded attack or
to euro a disease which very likely exists
onlyin the patients excited imagination
The impaired condition of the system
under this i'll advised dosing invites the
very attack which the dosing was in
tended to avert.-Youth's Companion.

Chinese Wit,

A traveller in the far east relates that
Chinese gentlemen Of quality consider it
beneath their dignity to invent their
own jokes. When they go into society
each carries with him collection OF
bon mots and smart repartees, obtained
from various sources, and when he thinks
the time has come for him to make Il
sage remark he turns over the leaves of
his commonplace book till he lights on a
suitable passage, which he gravely points
out to his neighbor. The latter reads the
passage with equal gravity, whereupon
he selects from his own stock an appro-
pirate rejoinder, which he shows the
other with bow. Both then smile sol
emnly, and, after many compliments, re.
sumo their conversational Popolo Ro-

Illuminated.

One by one the mysteries of the animal
world are yielding before the investiga-
tions Of naturalists. Some very curious
information is given in recent issue of
French scientific periodical regarding
microbes that have the faculty of being
self luminous.
One moonlight night spot of greenish
light was noticed on the seashore. On
closer examination the light proved to
come from within crustacean of the
genus talitrus or sand flea. The entire
talitre, including the antennp, was phos-
phorescent. Only the eyes were dark
spots in the luminous figure. He was
proceeding more slowly than is natural
to that species over the sand.
Other similarly illuminated talitres
were sought for, but his seemed to be a
unique distinction. The next day one of
his claws was examined under q micro.
scope. 1t was full of singular kind of
bacteria, luminous microbes. These
luminous microbes appear on the surface
Of the sea, in the sand of the seashore,
sometimes on meat and in salt water
fish. Just what their phosphorescence is
due to is not clearly understood.
Other talitres were inoculated with
the bacteria. In less than three days
they shone with a white light. They re-
lnained in this state from three to six
days, apparently not greatly incouven-
fenced by the presence of the microbes,
Then came motionless state, which
lasted three or four days, when they
died, and few hours later the fatal illu-
mination faded.-Youth's Companion.

Royal Autographs at Washington.
The great departments of Washinptn

The great departments of Washington
have hidden away in their musty records
the rolnances of the greatest men of the
United States There is a tradition that
some very spicy love letters OF George
Washington are hidden away in the
state department.. Others of the records
contain references to the troubles which
existed at the time that Peggy O'Neill,
the handsome daughter of the Washing
ton tavern keeper, married Maj. Eaton,
Jackson's secretary Of war, and set
Washington society by the ears, and
still Others describe tho troubles which
Alexander Hamilton underwent through
the persecution Of the pretty Mrs. Rey-
nolds. BY all odds the most interesting
volumes of love and marriage, however,
found i'll these departments are those
which contain the letters of kings and
queens, describing their marriages and
i'll glowing terms picturing their graft
tude to heaven for the birth Of prince
or II princess.
According to the court etiquette of
Europe whenever q son or daughter is
born to q ruler letter is sent to the
state department. These letters are
carefully filed. They arc bound in great
morocco covered books and they consti-
tute the most valuable autograph collec-
tion of the United States. In them the
handwritings of the kings of the earth
are huddled together and the pens of
queens and princes lie sido by side.
Many of the pages are bordered with
black, announcing the death of ruler,
but such an announcement is always &C.
companied by the proclamation Of the
rise of another to the throne, and the
old rule, "The king is dead, long live
the king" ever holds good.-Washing-
ton Letter.
