Passes.

Speaking Of passes, there are hundreds
Of men about town who have the very use
ful little bits Of pasteboard that permit
them to ride free on railroads and street
railways, but there are some other passes
or franks that are by no means so common.
One of these is the frank Of the Western
Union and other telegraph companies, that
allows its possessor TO send his messages
without cost to him. A decidedly unique
pass is that Of the Adams Express COM
pany, comparatively few OF which are IS
sued, and by means Of which one can send
packages free all over the country. 1t
bears on celluloid Mce a representation
Of a skull and crossbones, with the wordH
Dead Head" on either side. 1t seems Ia
have been conceived in rather a humorous
spirit The few who carry these passes say
they are very handy az times.-New York

Helping the Maids.

During the War of the Revolution,
were contending in Pennsylvania, Cen
eral Washington was in the neighbor-
hood of Marietta, Lancaster county.
General Lee, with two or three aides
de-camp, rode in advance, and stopping
at wayside inn, informed the landlord
that General Washington and his staff
officers would quarter at his house for
the night.
This news, of course, caused great con-
fusion among the inmates of the estab
ishment. They wanted to do honor to
the beloved commander, and hustled
about to have all things in readiness
upon his arrival
"Eere, you" said the genius who
presided in the kitchen to General Lee,
ignorant of his rank in the army, ''just
go out to that woodpile and split an
armful for me. | must hurry up this
fire, or | cannot get good supper for
General Washington.
The officer, enjoying the joke, obedi-
entity took up the ak, and soon the chips
were flying in all directions. He was
busily working away when Washington
and his staff rode up to the tavern.
"Why, General Lee,' said the COM
mander-in-chief, "what in the world are
you doing?"
"Oh," replied Lee, lifting his head,
81 am helping the maids in the kitchen.
General Washington and his officers are
coming here for supper tonight. )"
Both generals burst into hearty
laugh, in which their companions Joined;
and even the landlady, who had set the
general at work, enjoyed the joke after
she had recovered somewhat from her
Observation-Disclosures Companion.

Another smoke Consumer.

Mr.. Edison J. Hadlock, of Big Springs,
Tex, has just patented an invention for
arresting all sparks on locomotives and
consuming all smoke that well informed
railroad men say must undoubtedly soon
come into general use. 1t entirely does
away with the ordinary smokestack Of
the locomotive. The smoke and sparks,
after arising in a pipe few feet above
the boiler, curve downward through
double pipes and pass back into the fur
mace, where everything is reconsumed
There can be no danger of fire from a
locomotive thus arranged, and it is
claimed that this reconsumption makes
great saving of fuel. 1t also largely
improves the draft on the furnace

Young Talleyrand's Engagement.

The engagement of the youthful Comte
de Talleyrand Perigord to Mile. de Ro-
han Chabot, daughter of the Prince and
Princess de Leon, has raised the ques-
ton in aristocratic Paris as to the most
fitting age at which young men and
maidens should enter the holy state of
matrimony. The French aristocracy, it
appears, is divided on the matter.
The Due de Broglie was twenty-four
when he married, the Due de Fezensac
only twenty-five, but Prince Alphonse
was thirty-seven and Prince Ludovic
forty-seven when they quilted the ranks
of the bachelors. On the whole, how
ever, it see2ns that the average age at
which the inhabitants of the Faubourg
Saint German marry is twentysix:
that of the ladies Of the same quarter is
not given, probably on the principle that
ga woman on her wedding is exactly the
age she looks. Pail Mall Gazette.

Ramadan, the Mussulman's terrible
month of daily fasting, is like the China
mans New Year, governed by the moon.
This year, precisely at the moment the
new moon became visible ON the morn
ing of April 8, Ramadan began and con-
tinued throughout the lunar month.
The origin of this long fast seems shroud-
ed in mystery, as it is said to have been OBJ
served by the fire worshipers long before
before the the time of Mahomet Ali, who
thought the command to all true believ-
ers to fast for eleven months in the year
was too much to require of mortal flesh.
Through the angel Gabriel he therefore
besought the Great Spirit TO reduce the
time one-half. Finding this still q
heavy trial, he again interceded and got
the time fixed at one lunar month, where
it still remains. During this awful
month nothing in the way of food passes
the true Mohammedan's mouth between
dawn and sunset. In the morning, as
soon as white thread can be distin-
guished from black one, the fast be-
gins.-St. Louis Republic.

The Bridegroom Had a Dog License.

The Bridegroom Had Dog License.
People who have lived in cities where
marriage licenses are required often
have great difficulty in understanding
the system in vogue here. They cannot
realize that the services of minister or
alderman are all that is necessary when
the parties have reached the proper age
A German whose knowledge of the Eng
fish language is limited wished to get
married not long ago, and being under
the impression that license was neces-
sary he started out to secure one. He
wandered around the postoffice and the
various municipal and county buildings
for an hour or two, unable to find the
place where licenses were to be had.
Finally he managed to explain to a
policeman that he wanted a license, al
though he was unable to make it clear
what kind of a one he was after. The
officer directed him to the place where
dog licenses are issued, and the happy
sutton paid his fee and received the
precious paper
That evening the German and his
blushing afianced went TO the house of
a minister to have the Gordian knot tied.
When the bridegroom proudly handed
over his dog license the worthy pastor
could hardly perform the ceremony for
suppressed laughter. The couple, how
ever, were none the less firmly married
because the paper allowed the husband
to keep dog instead of to wed a WIFE

coats to cover up her plants. Several
days later he inquired for his coat, and
when told the purpose for which it had
been used and that probably it was left
in the flower garden, said he guessed it
had better be brought in, as there was a
$500 roll of bills in the inside pocket,
which he had carried there for some
time.-Lewiston Journal.

Precocious Infants.

Professor Henry L. Chapman's speech
at the Bowdoin commencement dinner
was a model for after dinner orators. In
telling of the deeds of the class of '66
he spoke of the remarkable precocity of
one member, George William Kelley, Of
Portland, of whom the following is re-
corded in Cleveland and Packard's His
tory of Bowdoin college: George Will
liam Kelley was born in Portland, No
vember, 1874. He at once entered on a
theological course of study in Bangor
seminary" etc. The only case of pre-
cocity approaching this, he said, was in
the class of '53, one member of which
was Ephraim G. Cummings, of whom
the same history records: "Ephraim
Chamberlain Cummings was born in
Albany, 1926. His first year was spent
in teaching in the academy at Bucks
port" etc. Of the two cases Professor
Chapman held that the class Of '66 led,
as it was evidently a more precocious
thing to study theology in Bangor than
to teach in BucksporT.-Lewiston Jour-
