Troublesome Brides,

Young married people are the most
troublesome customers except babies
that a photographer has. and few pho.
tographers like to see couple in their
wedding tinery enter a gallery The
man never makes any objection, he gen
orally has trouble enough to keep his
hands out of his pockets, but the bride
seems to consider it part of her duty
to find fault with everything She will
object to the accessories, to the way the
folds of her dress fall, to the groom
pose, to the size of her feet and hands
in the negative, to everything and every
body, apparently just to find fault
Pleasing her is out of the question so
the photographer generally does the best
he can and lets her grumble. Interview

A BOttomless Pot.

An East Side dealer in New York was
lately made the object of swindle that
was rather novel and original A mid
die aged woman came into his store one
day carrying on her arm large basket
in which was pot with lid. She
placed the basket on the floor, made
numerous purchases, had her bill count
ed up, and then carefully put all her
articles into the pot and replaced the
lid with the greatest caution. She next
asked permission of the store keeper to
leave the articles in his care, as she
wished to do little more shopping in
the neighborhood, promising to return
in the course of an hour.
This request was willingly acceded to,
and lifting the pot out of the basket she
carried it carefully to a corner, where
it would be out of the way, set it down,
and again slipping the basket under her
arm, left the store, after profusely
thanking the man for his kindness.
Hours went by, but the woman failed
to call for her precious pot. At last
when closing time came, salesman
went over to the corner for the purpose
of placing the earthen ware in a safer
place, and quickly discovered that, like
a certain locality to which sinners are
supposed to be consigned after death it
was bottomless. The mere mention Of
a pot is now sufficient reason to cause
the victimized dealer to go into convul.

why tho Eggs Did Not Hatch.

Since he visited the last poultry show
in New York, Andrew Meredith of
Cornwall ll-on-the- Hudson, has been i'm.
pressed with the idea that his hens have
been wasting their time in Matching out
ordinary farmyard eggs. He wanted to
improve his breed of fowl; so about a
month ago he purchased a setting of
Langshans for four dollars from u Buf.
falo dealer, and placed them under an
"old reliable" Plymouth Rock hen. He
set her in room over his barn and al.
lowed nobody to disturb her. After the
hen had sat for nearly a month with the
dogged perseverance of her kind, with
out any results, Mr. Meredith began to
entertain dark suspicious about the pro
bity of the Buffalo man, and yesterday
he lifted then hen from her nest to ex-
anime the eggs.
He was shocked to find large black
snake coiled among lot of broken shells.
The reptile was half torpid. 1t had
eaten all the eggs, and the hen had sat
upon it, probably, for at least fort
night, and kept it warm and comfort
able while it digested its food. After
Mr.. Meredith had killed it she wanted
to sit on its dead body. Exchange.

That extraordinary fish, the
pouched lamprey of the Murray
river, in Australia, affords striking
contrast to the English species.
Somewhat larger than a sea lamprey
and having all the same generic dis
tinctions as the European relatives,
this strange creature has acquired
one special characteristic in the
pouch, which can be distended at
will or according to circumstances,
to assist the animal in the storage Of
water in times OF excessive drought
Those who are familiar with the
great Murray and Darling rivers
know how variable the water supply
is. At times an ample volume ac-
cumulates from the watersheds, and
the adjacent plains are liable to rapid
and disastrous foods. But too often
the stream sinks to insignificant di-
mensionS; in certain parts the river
absolutely fails, leaving pools of wa
ter surrounded by hard clay, which
is caked at the surface under the in
fuence of the vertical suns rays

"Tbe best paying church l:hOw of Is
probably a little country church in
Washington county, Pa" said A. l..
Rutledge, of Pittsburg "lt's Presby-
terian church and is near Mcdonald.
Two years ago Mcdonald was a milk
station. Passing by there on a train all
one could see were a few hundred milk
cans on the station platform and the lit
tie church on the hillside, with its little
parsonage alongside. Well, oil and coal
and natural gas were discovered around
Mcdonald, and today there is an ideal
oil town there. with miners camps scat
tered about.
Productive? Why. oil wells were
struck that flowed $4,000 barrels a day.
There was no tankage big enough to
hold the supply and the oil was allowed
to run down the hillside and into the
streams. Outsiders banked up the creeks
and scooped enough oil out Of the dams
they made to net them 800 day, car
rying the oil away by the bucketful.
Natural gasp Why, the pressure was so
strong that the greatest difficulty was
in boring the oil wells. The
gas formed cushion that it was abso-
lutely impossible in some cases to drive
the augers through.
"Derricks were put up all about the
little church. The pastor did not enjoy
any increase of salary and the church
income did not grow until some of the
elders conceived n brilliant
idea and carried it out. They bored for
oil on the church lot and they struck
it-struck it rich. At first the oil pour
ed out at the rate of 1000 barrels day.
The society grew rich, of course, and
the income is still flowing in smooth as
oil, and the little church on the hillside
is one of the wealthiest religious organi-
zations in the state. Chicago Tribune.

A whirlwind in Kensington Gardens.

On recent Sunday afternoon curl
GUS phenomenon was witnessed by those
persons who we're walking in Kensing-
ton Gardens. A rough, grating sound
suddenly filled the air. 1t appeared to
come from the north side of the park
and those who looked in that direction
in order to discover its cause saw an
immense column, dozen feet or more
in diameter and nearly a hundred feet
in height, rapidly approaching them.
It was genuine whirlwind on a small
scale. The column appeared to consist
of sand, gravel, dust, leaves Of trees and
twigs of wood and it approached with
IA centrifugal motion. AS it swept on
ward it was seen to be quite Opaque.
any object which it passed being hidden
from view.
An unfortunate lady who was in the
Broad Walk in Kensington gardens sud-
denly found herself caught in the grasp
Of the strange monster People at
short distance from her lost sight of her
for moment, and then she became Wis
ible again, but it was seen that her dress
was flying wildly in the air, and that
she herself was positively revolving just
as the column itself had done. Fortu-
nately no damage was done.-London

Bears Gall Is Worth Money,

A bears gall was recently sent to a
gentleman in this city as slight token
of esteem from an intimate and dear
friend in the country, with the sugges
ton that it might possess IA pecunary
value in the Chinese language Think
ing that it was intended to imply that
he lacked gall, our city gentleman
threw it in the street. Soon afterward
a Chinaman came in, and, on being IN
terrogated, offered one dollar for it.
The work of redeeming it by side
door occupied one minute, and the price
obtained was two dollars. They are
considered very valuable by Chinese
physicians, and are much sought after
We now quote bears gall IN fair de
mand, with limited supply political

about s in the morning and a good
dinner at 5 is a good one, but we
should never neglect to give some
mashed greens twice or thrice a

good. An occasional dinner of well
boiled tripe is great treat to almost
