BRIpAL ETIQUETTE.

"a Few Suggestions for tho Benefit of
Young Married People.
There are many little things about
weddings that people inquire about,
says the Ladies' Home Journal. The
bride writes a personal note Of thanks
for every gift received, whether it be a
great one or a little one, and, II she
cannot do this before the ceremony, she
does it after the bridal trip. In the
church the bridegroom's family and
friends sit at the right Of the altar, be-
ing on the bridegroom's right hand,
while those Of the bride are placed on
the left at the brides left.
The bridegroom does not pay for any.
thing connected with the wedding, In
less he should choose to send bouquets
To the bridemaids, and, of course, to the
bride, and presents and boutonnieres
20 his best man and the ushers.
The widow removes her first wedding
ging at her second marriage, and does
not assume it again. The engagement
ring is taken from the third finger of
the left hand and worn aftcrward as a
guard TO the wedding ring. 1t Is not
considered good taste to cut the finger
out of the glove for assuming the ring.

FOR AND AGAINST The DOG.


How the Canine Species Were Regarded
by the Ancients.
A curious fact, and one that has pro-
voked much discussion, is that in the
Iiad the dog is despised and his name
is used to express every form of con-
tempt, while in the Odyssey his virtues
are recognized and the epithets applied
to him are creditable. This marked
contrast in the treatment of the dog
has been one Of the strong arguments
brought forward by those who claim
that the Had and Odyssey were not
written by the same person, says a
writer in the Chicago Evening Post. In
the Iliad the dog is regarded chiefly as
a scavenger, or If spoken Of otherwise
1t is for the purpose OF degrading some
human being by comparison, as when
Achilles in his wrath calls Agamemnon
y wine bibber with the forehead of a
dog"
On the other hand, the Odyssey repre-
sents favorite dogs as following their
master to the council, guarding the
honse, barking at strangers only, and.
in various other ways indicative Of ap
probation.
One Of the most pathetic incidents In
the great epic Is that Of Ulysses dog
Argus. He had been trained for the
chuse, but during his masters long abb
n he was neglected. and after
awhile became helpless. On Ulysses
return his own kindred fail to recop
nize him, but the dog lifts his head,
pricks up his ears, and, seeing Ulyssis
draw near, ways his tail and drops his
cars, but has not strength to go to his
master. His Joy Is more than he can
bear, and he dies Immediately.
Over Argus the blsah night of death
Came suddenly as soon as he had seen
Ulysses absent now for twenty years.

Issuance OF patents.

The average number of American
patents Issued yearly is about 10000.
Compared with the number issued In
any other country, this is very large.
England, which comes nearest to US,
only issues about 1900 to 5000 a year,
and its system is very much more lax
than ours. Patents are issued without
any conditions as to novelty or merits,
and not two applications in 100 are re-
iected. In Prussia the num- per granted
annually Is less than 100, In Belgium
1900 TO 2 600.

CITIES OF


Their Advantages and DanEers-Tbe Med
Of an Agricultural Population.
The prevailing state socialism is all
ing the larger towns with good things
excellent museums, splendid libraries,
frec reading rooms. parks, botanical
gardens, manifold places Of interest or
amusement These are for the multi
tude, and the multitude in Australia Is
unquestionably becoming southern In
Its taste for excitement and amuse-
ments, says . writer in Century.
For the rich r music, the theater and
clubs as expensive and almost as luxuri-
Gus as those Of Pail Mall or Piccadilly.
For the children Of all. excellent schools
and universities. So rich and poor alike
crowd into the towns, which become
large without becoming crowded, so
wide is the room for expansion, SO per.
feet the appliances Of tram rail and
boat for the suburban residence. Thus
the cities have acquired not only an ex-
cess Of population, but also a social and
political dominance which is neither
British nor American, and for which
only q continental parallel can DO
found To an outside observer the re.
sulting condition OF things seems arti-
fetal and not without grave dangers,
but c~uriously interesting, as illustrating
new forms of national growth, possibly
Incidental to extreme democratic devel-
opment- The concentration Of popula-
ton has enabled the artisan class TO Sc

but there is justification for the view
entertained by many Australians that

nent prosperity, unless a check can be
found The grayest problem before
Australia Is apparently how to get q
sufficient agricultural population to
stay upon the land. The temper Of the
country is not favorable to the patient
industry Of the farm, with its remote
results and slow accumulation. Within
the last few years the curious phenom-
enon has occasionally presented itself
OF a serious dearth of labor in country
places, while in the towns masses of un-
employed were besieging the govern
nnent Offices with demands for relief
works. Sent, sometimes at government
expense, to the rural districts, the ssun-

The Gbost Train.

''The ghost train" Is the unique name
OF the latest railroad novelty. 1t is a
train, says the New York Sun, Of snow
white cars running between New York
and Boston. The managers ~endeavored
to have it called the white line, but the
quick public gave 1t the better name,
which will stick. White has often been
tried as a color for cars and, except in
the case Of the railway mail service, has
always been abandoned, because the
cars SO quickly turn smoky and dingy.
But this new service is made up Of
coaches co heavily vanished that they
have u covering almost like lacquer.
Men swab them Off after every trip and
easily keep them white.

lana Post ONCE Appointments.

WAoArNGroN. April -. Senator John
Sherman Of Ohio is in towering passion
over ~" appointment Of i postmaster at

mar appointed postmaster was Emil
Weber. To those whose memory runs
back q dozen years the nam" oi Weber

Weber and the other supervisors OF cleo
ton if they would 50 fix the returns that
an apparent majority would be made ont

Al the time Emil Weber testified be
fore the committee To having read and
DESTROYED this letter Sherman denounced
him as a pcrjurer and has kept relterat-
ing it since. \ few days before Harrison
departed on his swing around the circle
a vacancy occurred in the postotficc at
Donaldsonville. and Yarmouth, the col
lector Of the port at New Orleans, tele-
graphcd Harrison asking him to appoint
Emil Weber. John Sherman happened
To hear of the telegram a day or two ago
and went to the ~postotfice department,
at present presided over by an ONO man
named Whitfield. in the absence Of John
Wanamaker. Sherman made things very
| hot for Whitfield and for Chief Inspector
| Rathbone because of Weber's appoint
ment, and demanded that he be sus.
pended immediately. This Whitfield and

There the matter stands. Sherman is
in a towering passion. and threatens To

all his might to secure a delegation from
Louisiana to the next national conven-
ton. and he will have to do everything
possible in his own interest between nov

Weber is a very influential politician and
is backed by a still more influential poll

Valley of Stones Through the
WindOws

DETROIT, April -. The employees Of
the Michigan car works, about 300,
went out on a strike this afternoon. The
trouble was undoubtedly precipitatcd by
the success attending the strike of the
street car employees. The strikers de
mand nine hours IA day work and ten
hour pay. They gave the company no
notice Of their intentions. AS they
passed out Of the works a volley of stones
was thrown and nearly every window in
the building was broken. The strikers
proceeded to Works spring company
and called upon the men to strike. Be
fore anything was accomplished
II special police of the concern drove the
strikers out. \ shower of bricks and
stones shortly after crashed through the
windows of the moulding department Of
the works, injuring an old man in charge
and driving others away. Two patrol
wagons arrived at this i%uucture and tn"
strikers dispersed.
The officers insist the trouble is only
the result of the freshness of some of tn"
younger men who wanted a half holiday
and that all hands will resume
work Monday morning. Some
of the men. however. declare this is but
the prelude to a big strike involving all
the departments of the Michigan Car
works. and possibly some Of the other
large establishments in the n~eighbor-
hood. They say the men may come
back to work next Monday. but If they

An IMPORTANT DECISION
Secretary Noble Decides some Points Of
Interest tn land Claimants.

WASHINGTON. April p. Secretary No
BILE today communicated to Commissioner
Carter his views as to the proper con
struction to be placed upon the proviso
in section seven of the act entitled AN
act tn repeal the timber culture laws and
for other purposes" approved March 3,
1891. This opinion is Of great import
ance to the public land states inasmuch
as it determines the question ay to what
point of time the words "Wlhen there
shall be no pending contest OF protest
against the validity of such entry" apply.
Whether the contest or protest to pre-
rent the issuance of a patent until dis
posed of must have been pending before
the lapse of two years from the date of
the issuance of the receivers receipt upon
final entry in cases existing and where
two years had elapsed before the act of
March 3 took effect as well as in those
afterwards. Many thousand homestead,
desert land, precmption and timber cul
ture entries are involved in this opinion.
The proviso in question is as
follows: provided, that after the lapse
of two years from date of issuance OF
receivers receipt upon the final entry OF
any tract Of land under the homestead.
timber culture, desert land or pre-emp-
ton laws, or under this act and when
there shall be no pending contest or pro
test against the validity of such entry.
the entryman shall be entitled to a pat
ent conveying the land by him entered,
and the same shall be issued to him; but
this proviso shall not be construed to re
quire "A delay Of two years from date Of
said entry before the issuing of the pat
ent therefor"
After making reference to the law of en-
try existing at the time the present act
was passed, and after quoting section .
Of that act, approved May II, 1880, the
secretary says: ut thus appears that if
the statute of March 3 were to be con
strued to invalidatc all contests or pro
tests not filed within two years after
date of first receipt and before this
statute took effect the result
would be that many thousands of fraud
ulent claims would go to patent without
further question being possible, although
contests or protests were legally pending
at the date of this act with great loss to
many citizens who, relying upon the
statute of May II. 1880, have invested
their money and spent their time in the
honorable purpose to obtain a home
against those who had fraudulcntly
seized upOn the land.
