THE NUPTIAL KNOT.
Seven Separate and Distinct Ways in Which
1t Can BE Tied.

seven separate anu "hiCh
1t Can he Tied.
There are seven separate and distinct
ways in which the nuptial knot may be
tied, the attending expense of the diff
ferent modes varying from one dollar to
one thousand dollars. The least expen-
sive-and tho one seldom adopted, ex-
cept in cases of elopement-is that af-
forded by tho Justices office. There a
couple can be firmly united in the space
of minute for a small sum. 1t is GUS
tomary for groom to dress as he may
please when the marriage is to be per-
formed by a justice, and a dress suit
would be sadly out of place in the musty
law-otfice. The one great advantage of
the justice-shop marriage is its cheap
ness.
AS some people object to being mar
ried by justice of the peace, preferring
the sanction of the church in addition
to that of the law, the young people
may visit q parsonage instead OF JUS
tees Office with the same preparation.
The ceremony may be fully as informal
when performed at the minister's home,
the only difference being that not less
than three dollars, and, better still, five
or ten dollars, should be paid for the
service, although there is no fixed sum
charged. The most popular ceremony
among people who do not class them
selves as in society" and also
among many who do. is quiet
home wedding, where the bride is
attired in a suit of plain white or a
travelling Dress and the groom in plain
black or brown business suit, where only
few friends and relatives are present
The affair is informal. perhaps modest
supper or lunch being served after the
ceremony is performed, and the entiro
expense to the groom being covered by
twenty dollars, or even less. This is
the most popular ceremony and this is
the way in which fully twenty-five per
cent of young people are married.
Next in point of favor and ineXpen-
siveness is the informal church wedding,
being similar in all things, except that
the service is performed within the
portals of the church. If the affair is
strictly private, the bride and groom
may be unsupported, or have brides
maids and groomsmen, as they please.
In the latter case, full-dress suits should
be worn, increasing the expense. The
''full-dress wedding" as it may be
called when the ceremony is performed
at home, is next in favor, Elaborate
trcusseau, full-dress suits, bridesmaids
and groomsmen, flowers in abundance,
and host of invited guests are the
requisites, followed by reception, feast
or lunch, as the contracting parties may
desire.
The seventh, and last and most popu-
lar, is the full-dress affair performed in
the church. Among people who desire
to create stir in society this is the
favorite. 1t is expensive, and in many
cases unsatisfactory. Ladies' Homo

purpose. The two stone-cutters backed
I'D against one of the willows, and
then proceeded to bind him to tt-s trunk
of a tree. They dashed his hands be-
hind him, then dashed his ankles TO-
gether, and then they bound him to the
tree at the shoulders, wrists, knees and
feet, and they did itsecurely, too, After
this they took the fireboard and placed
it against the tree above his head, Sc
curing it by nails which they had brought
for that purpose.

came near frightening her. Mind you,
Sam, we only mean this for joke"
And with this the two men went
away, taking no heed of the joker's cries
and protestations. But they did not go
far away until they were sure that there
would be no more passing on that road
for the night.
On the following morning Jerry set
the news a-going of Sans present stu
alton, and in half an hour after sunrise
a hundred people were collected around
the willow tree. There stood Sam, just
as he had been left the night before,
shaking and shivering with cold. The
ox-skin had been fixed so as to fit him
nicely, and he did really look like an
OK fastened up there. He had sewed up
the hide SO that his legs and arms fitted
into the skin of the oX's legs, and his
own head was whore the original caput
had been, while the horns arose majes-
tically above the whole. just above him
appeared the broad fire-board, and 1T
bore the following announcement in
characters which could be read with
ease, even at great distance:
This is Sam Peabody, the great
joker. And this is one of his own jokes
in which he got trapped himself"

Sam read it, and then put it up again.

Hints and Suggestions of Interest to Every

Paint spots on glass can be removed
by rubbing with a cloth dipped in alco-
hol or saleratus water.
The luster of morocco is restored by
vanishing it with the white of an egg.
Apply with sponge.
Kerosene will soften boots and shoes
that have been hardened by water, and
render them pliable as new.
If dish gets burnt in using, do not
scrape it; put a little water and ashes in
it and let it get warm. 1t will como off
nicely.
a sure and safe way to remove grease
spot from silk is to rub the spot quickly
with brown paper; the friction will soon
draw out the grease.
Spotted Furniture. Spots on vanished
furniture are readily removed by rub
bling them with the essence of pepper
mint or spirits of camphor, and after
wards with furniture polish" or oil.
To prevent tin from rusting, rub
fresh lard over every part of the dish,
and then put it in hot oven. heat it
thoroughly. Thus treated, any tin ware
may be used in water constantly, and it
will remain bright and free from dust
indefinitely.
Mending China.-Into a solution Of
gum arabic stir plaster of Paris until
the mixture assumes the consistency Of
cream. Apply with brush to the
broken edges of china, and join to-
gether. In three days the article can
not be brokon in the same place. The
whiteness Of the cement adds to it's
value.
The following is a good receipt for
cologne water: Take pint of alcohol
and put in thirty drops of oil of lemon,
thirty of bergamont and half gill of
water. If musk or lavendar is desired,
add the same quantity of each. The oils
should be put in the alchol and shaken
well before the water is added. Bottle
it for use.
Mending Rubber Boots.-Cut native
India rubber with a wet knife into thin
slices, and with shears divide these into
threa Is as fine as fine yarn. Put
small quantity of the shreds (say one
tenth or less of the capacity of the
bottle) into wide mouthed bottle, and
fill it three-quarters full of benzine OF
good quality, perfectly free from oil.
The rubber will swell up almost immedi-
ately, and in few days especially if
shaken often, assumes the consistency
of honey. A piece of solid rubber the
size of a walnut will make pint of
cement. The cement dries in few
minutes and by using three coats, will
unite leather straps, backs of books,
etc, with exceeding firmness.
To Clean Kid Gloves.-Get of drug
gist two ounces of benzine and a small
quantity of powdered soap-stone, or, as
it is called at glove stores paris glove
powder" With a sponge or flannel
cloth apply the benzine to the glove
(while on the hand) lightly and evenly,
and let the glove remain on the hand
till dry -four or five minutes). Pin it
up where the sun will shine upon it;
and in about half an hour take the glove
down, pull it out by taking each finger
separately, holding the wrist in one
hand. Then apply the glove powder
inside and outside, rubbing very hard
on the outside. If this be done accord
ing to directions, the glove will look as
we'll as new.-Boston Commonwealth.
