II Margte was in despair, for there
was no awning nor carpet provided at
the church. But she had to make the
pest OF her way under an umbrella
through the gaping tittering crowd that
lined the walk, her long train slipping
from the grasp Of the small sister
who acted as bridesmaid The slow
march to the chancel, where her future
husband awaited her, seemed like an
endless journey. Her father, on whose
arm she leaned, was more ut home at
his carpenters bench than at fashion,
able wedding, and his coarse, ill-fitting
Sunday clothes were very noticeable be-
side the tulle and satin of the bride.
Margie had difficulty to keep step with
him. She did not hear the music
she had thought would be so inspiring.
She felt no citation, but rather a
terrible apprehension that some
one would blunder. The church looked
dim. She noticed that the ladies were
mostly in street attire. The rainbow
tints and flashing jewels of her imagin-
alton had no real existence. The gate
OF smilax before the altar. for which
she had sacrificed pair of shoes and q
dozen handkerchiefs, appeared pitifully
scant and small. She caught a glimpse
OF Celia's face, and hated her for a
minute for the look of mingled sym
pathy and annoyance that she saw
there. She was thankful to get to the
chancel, the minister and 10 Norris.
But 10 was pale and trembling. o.,
what misery! Would it never end!
Her father stepped on her train and
stumbled, when he gave her away. 10
| searched three pockets for the ring.
Something was whispered after the
minister, there was a prayer, a peal
| OF organ-music. a sea of curious, half
amused faces, and another long
journey. She did not think of her
train as she went out to the carriage,
and, of course, 10 did not. The snowy
satin trailed over the grimy stones, for
the small bridesmaid had begun to CRY
during the ceremony, and had taken
refuge with her mother. The carriage
door opened, the bride sank back in a
crushed and crumpled heap of satin
and lace, the groom took his place
opposite with both feet planted firmly
on the white gown, the horses turned
down the street, and Margie's dream
was done for.
A few days afterward Mr. and sMrs.
Norris were installed in the second-rate
boarding house near the pretty home OF
Celia Winthrop One evening the latter
| invited them to supper.
| "Celia," said Margie, what do you
think? Uncle Frost has sent us a check
for twenty-five dollars!''
| ''He is very generous" replied Celia,
with happy glance at her husband.
''We were remembered, Also"
She did not tell how a deed had come
in her name to the house and lot that
| Nelson Winthrop had rented as a tenn
| porary home.
II was glad to get that money" said
Margie, soto coce, in her cousins ear.
THAT Leslie girl who gave me cake
basket has sent cards to her wedding,
and l must give her decent present.
Then, too l had no winter fannels, and
did not like to ask 10 so soon.''
1t was on Celia:s lips to say: "But
you had wedding, dear!''
But her kind heart conquered, and
she held her peace.-Madeline Gilbert,

Wages or Farm Helm.

The statistician of the U. s. depart

port, which is now in press, on the
wages of farm labor, the result of nine
Investigations from 1866 to 1892, with
prior records of wages as far back as
1910. The report shows the monthly
rates both with and without board for
the season or year and also by the day

Carried Fully . Mile in Terrible Wind
Storm.
I'm the year 1882, about the latter
part of March, I, with some friends who
were on visit to me, went out to an
old edifice about two hundred yards
from the house one evening to enjoy
ourselves over game of seven-up.
''When we left the house not one OF
us had the least idea that the bright
rays of the sun would be followed by
the black wings of destruction.
II remember we'll, we had been play
ing about two or three hours. had tho
ace, deuce, queen and jack of trumps
My opponent had just thrown down the
ten spot of clubs, and was just in the
act of taking it with my jack when I
was arrested by loud, numbering
noise that sounded like the roaring of a
train, but hundred times louder.
81 jumped to my feet and ran to the
door. What l saw as put my head
through the opening will remain with
me to my dying day.
1.-The space above me was as dark as
pitch except when the flash of light.
ming made little light, and by one OF
these flashes l could see old timbers,
shingles, tree tops and everything i'm
aginable flying in every direction.
II sprang to the middle of the room,
clasped my friend to my breast. and
cried: we are lost! o God, save u.s.!
The words had scarcely left my lips
when, oh, horrors! l saw the top of the
old barn torn from its bed and hurled to
destruction, folded in the arms of the
mighty destroyer.
THE old logs were being scattered
around me. felt the floor moving un-
der my feet, everything turned dark,
and l knew no more till opened my
eyes and found the kindly face of the
doctor bending over me.
81 had been hurled over mile from
the old barn. and how I got there with
out being killed the reader can best
imagine. Three teeth knocked out, nv
left arm and two ribs broken were al
the injuries received.
ION inquiring afterward found out
that my friends never received a scratch.
When the top of the old barn was torn
off they ran out in the yard and lay fiat
on the ground, hugging the roots of a
large stump.
ut has been nearly ten years since
that terrible night, and l never see a
cloud rise but can almost feel myself
being hurled through the air. Atlanta

PARADISE FISH OF CHINA.


1t Has Chameleon Power, Many Of Its
Colors Being Brilliant.
The oldest of all piscatorial rarities
is the paradise fish of China. Like the
German canary and one or two other
species of bird and fish, this little finny
beauty is the product Of cultivation
only, there being no place in the world
where it is found in wild state. In
the land of the dragon they are kept
and cultivated in ornamental aquari-
ums, each succeeding generation of the
little oddities exhibiting more diversi-
fed colors. The male is the larger of
the two sexes, measuring, when full
grown, three and one-half inches. The
body is shaped very much like that of a
common pumpkin-seed sun fish, its
color surprising in brilliancy any fish
heretofore cultivated for the aquarium.
The head of the macropodus THAT is his
generic name) is ashy gray, notified
with irregular dark spots. The gills
are azurine blue, bordered with bril-
liant crimson. The eyes are yellow and
red, with black pupil. The sides of
the body and the crescent-shaped
caudal fin are deep crimson, the former
having from ten to twelve vertical blue
stripes, while, the latter is bordered
with blue. The upper surface of the
body is continually changing color
sometimes it Is white, at others gray,
black or blue The dorsal and anal
fms are remarkably large, hence it's
generic name; Macro, large; podus, fin
or foot. Both fins are shaped alike,
and are striped with brown and bor-
dered with bright blue. The dull
colored ventral fins are protected by
brilliant scarlet-colored spine, extend
ing three-fourths of an inch behind the
body of the fin. The rec.oral fins are
we'll shaped, but transparent and color
less.-ChicaQo Herald. = ,~

GOLD FEET,

When Hsbitual They Indicate an Enfeo-
bled Circulation.
The amount Of dangerous disease that
may arise from chilled feet can hardly
be estimated. It is great mistake to
clothe the feet of children or Of old peo-
pie in anything but wooden stockings.
Persons in the prime of health and
strength can endure lighter foot coy
ering, but invalids and all delicate per.
sons should be carefully protected in
this matter The majority of pneu.
monias may probably be traced to
chilled or damp feet. Where the feet
are habitually cold, it indicates poor
circulation of the blood, and is itself
cause enough to require a tonic for the
system. Such a weakness in the circu-
lation indicates the need of nutritious
food and a rich, stimulating diet. Ex-
ternal treatment is of very little value.
In these days, there is no excuse for q
woman adopting light footwear.
A great many people who wear thin
shoes have damp feet, and go about In
this way for considerable time with
out realizing the danger they run by
such a course. Children who 20 to

tally in the country, where they are

to put on in place of their damp ones
before school begins. 1t is very un-
wholesome thing for a child to sit in
shoes of snow-soaked leather for any
length of time, even though their stock
ings should be perfectly dry, and many
dangerous colds and throat diseases re-

It's flying II, the face

HOW AFUGILb Was SOLVED,

When you want certain article, you want
the best make of that article, don't you?
But how to determine which make is best
is what puzzles you, isn't it?
And when the puzzle is solved for yo,l,
by authority which cannot be questioned,
you are pleased, aren't you?
And you would like to hear Of one puz.
zlc thst has been solved for the people Of
the whole world, wouldn't you?
Well, we will tell you about that very
puzzle and its solution.
At the Universal Exposition of 1889 at
Paris, France, the best sewing machines of
the world. including those Of America, were
in competition. They were passed upon by a
jury composed of the best foreign mechan-
ical experts, two of whom were the leading
sewing machine manufacturers of France
This jury, after exhaustive examination
and tests, adjudged that the Wheeler &
Wilson machines were the best of all, and
awarded that company the highest prize Of
fered, the GRAND PRIZE, giving other
companies only gold, silver and bronze
| medals.
The French Government, as further
recognition OF superiority, decorated Mr..
Nathaniel Wheeler, president of the COM
pany, with the Cross of the Legion of
Honor, the most priced honor of France.
That is how the puzzle of the best sewing
machine in the world was fully solved by the
most competent authority in the world in
favor OF the No. 8 and No. IL Wheeler &
Wilson machines.
The Noe, for family use, and the No. 10,
for manufacturing uses, are the best in the
world to-day.
And now, when You want sewing ma
chine, il you do not get the best, it will be
your own fault
