WOES OF MEXICAN BRlDEeRooMs
Resulting from One of the Peculiar Gus
toms That Prevail There,

toms That Prevail There.
The peculiar custom of an engaged young
man buying his futrre wife's wedding out
fit is not likely TO be transplanted to the
United States. 1t would certainly be IN
popular there, and would tend to make
marriages exceedingly infrequent. 1t pre-
walls here, however, to the distress of many
worthy but impecunious young men.
Young men come up to the City of Mexico
from interior towns and lay in stock OF
tinery for their prospective wives.
1t is touching sight to see ayoung man,
armed with all the measurements of his
inamorata, going about from shop to shop,
sometimes assisted by obliging lady
friends, purchasing the wedding toggery.
A man a-shopping is always a pitiful
sight, but a young fellow with no ex.
perience in shopping trying to do his pref
test for a momentous occasion is enough
to make the gods on Olympus weep.
Sometimes the parents will not allow the
young man to buy more than a few ar
ticles, such as the wedding dress and slip
pers. But then such is the swain's ardol
and superheated generosity that he almost
ruins himself in an endeavor to display
even in these restricted gifts his taste and
iberality.
A case 1 have heard of occurred here
some time ago. A young man from the
United States had fallen desperately in
love with a most charming and estimable
young lady resident in large interior city.
He learned of the custom of purchasing
the brides outfit from q sympathizing
friend. Yankeelike, he determined to
have everything go off in the finest posi-
bic shape. So he purchased couple OF
thousand dollars worth of dresses, ETC.,
all according to the fascinating dimensions
of his beloved.
He secured the promise of very swell
wedding in the fashionable church, engag-
ing the most expensive musicians, order
ing rare flowers in prefusion, etc. The
wedding went off like a charm, and capti
waited the fancy of the elite portion of the
female population of the city. Nothing so
regally splendid had ever been seen before,
and the Yankee caballero was voted per-
feet gentleman, and a man of taste and
wealth.
The enthusiastic young bridegroom, in
order to put the finishing touch on his dis
play, bought a barouche and four fine
horses, engaged coachmen and outriders,
and, amid the enthusiastic acclamations of
his acquaintance started off with his wife
for city $50 miles away, where they were
20 live. The pretty bride was enchanted
A young prince had descended from some
unknown height to be her lover and hus-
band, and she departed in blaze of glory
On the wedding journey sad misad
venture befell the loving pair; the barouche
broke down at point where it could not
be repaired, for the road led through
deselate country, and so, improvising sad
dies, the young couple rode on the backs OF
their horses some fifty miles to their future
home. am glad to say that this mishap
was no evil augury, and that the welded
pair lived happy ever after.-Mexico Cor. |

THE RAILWAYS.

CHICAGO, Oct. 16-The board of rulings
of the Trunk Line and Central Traffic as
sociations has addressed circular to the
roads west Of Chicago. which the latter
regard as an unwarranted exhibition of
''nerve." The western lines, while living
up to the agreement to pay no commits
sions to agents of eastern lines, are still
paying commissions TO agents of western
roads stationed in the east. The circular
of the board of rulings informs them that
in so doing they are violating the agree
ment as much as if the commissions were
paid to employees of the trunk lines. The
officials of some of the western lines do
not hesitate to say that this is an assump-
tion of dictatorship on the part of the
eastern connections which they will not
tolerate.

Take Rest.

There is no better preventive or guard
against nervous exhaustion, nervous pros
tration, brain flag, than regular, pleasant
unhurried muscular exercise-exercise in
which we do not feel hurried; if we could
control our hurry, lessen our worry and
increase our open air exercise, very large
percentage of our nervous diseases would
be abolished; change of occupation, though
still be labor, often brings with it rest,
from the fact that the change brings into
use parts of the body or brain which before
were not in use, thus resting the parts
Overtaxed and developing the parts unused.
