A Electrical Wedding.


At wedding reported in Baltimore, a
few day ago, no sooner had the company
been comfortably seated than the room
burst into flood of light from numerous
varicoored incandescent electric lamps hid
den among the decorations. The entrance
of the bride and bridegroom was welcomed
by the automatic ringing of electric bells
and the playing of electrical musical instru-
ments. After the first course, the room
was plunged into semi darkness, when sud.
denly, from the floral decorations upon the
table, there glOwed tiny electric lamps.
Not only the flowers. but the interior of the
translucent vases in which some of them
were gathered, scintillated with flashes of
light. After a while miniature electric
lamp, which in some unexplained manner
had attached itself to the brides hair, was
seen to glow with dazzling brightness. A
toast having been given, two serpents
slowly uncOiled themselves and issued from
the wine bottle that stood beside the bridal
couple. Cigars and coffee were served, and
the cigars were lighted by an electric
lighter, while coffee was prepared in full
view of the company by an electrical
heater. The speeches that were made were
literally applauded by an electrical kettle
drum placed under the table. AS the com.
pany dispersed. the electric current set off a
novel pyrotechnic display. amid the crimson
glare of which the festivities ended

Scientific and Practical Knowledge.
Some one has truthfully said that all
knowledge is comprised in two classes. The
first is that effect Of mind which is the re-.
suit of curiosity, that species of human in.
stinct that prompts us to inquire the reason
for everything we see, every action which
takes place among others. among all living
beings among the elements and among the
celestial bodies. Mankind being endowed
with reason. the next impulse is to apply
the knowledge so gained to some useful
purpose. to produce some benefit to our
selves. The first of these two classes is
called scientific investigation" the second
we notice for the first time light from
which smoke arises. we investigate. we
perceive heat, and that it produces dis
agreeable sensation. These are sthe first
scientific facts. We apply the knowledge
so gained by resolving never to touch fire.
This is applied science. We have employed
curiosity to find out the facts. We now
employ caution to guard ourselves against
damage. and we determine never TO touch
fire. All knowledge so gained is by this
process. We may be told thousand times
that fire will burn, but we feel that that is
only theory. We want facts. and we oh.
tain them by course of scientific investiga-
ton. We use these facts and thus gain ex-
perience. knowledge. at first scientific, next
practical; and these two conditions make
up the sum of all knowledge. Science is
the foundation, practice the superstructure.

FoRcEPs FOR EAST INDIA

The Belief That Evil Spirits Cause the
Toothache Has Died Out.
East India has a dearth of dentists.
She no longer believes that the tooth
ache is an evil spirit, SO she has sent
some of her sons to this country to learn
dentistry. The ''good" and sevil'' spir-
its so much believed in years ago are
losing their hold. A toothache years
ago would be accepted with resignation
by the average East Indian, but the
contact with travellers has been the
means of completely reversing this be-
lief, and we now look for toothache
drops and hot applications as a relief for
toothache as eagerly as the more en-
lightened.
''This diversion from time-honored
custom is naturally followed by other
diversions, and now the dentist, with
his forceps and rubber plates and gold
filings, has become a much desired adj
junct to the East Indians life. There
is demand for dentists in my country,
and that's why am going to Philadel-
phia to study"
