Funny Incidents at Marriage Services

Funny Incidents at Marriage Services.
Some funny stories are told about the
marriage service in the Isle of Man.
One Of them relates how an old man.
brought rather unwillingly to the altar.
could not be induced TO repeat the re-
sponses. my good man." at length ex-
claimed the clergyman. II really cannot
marry you unless you do as you are told"
But the man remained silent. At this
unexpected hitch the bride lost all pa
tience with her future spouse and burst
out with. "Go on. Say it after him just
the same as If you was mockin him. "
The same difficulty occurred in another
case The clergyman, after explaining
what was necessary and going over the
responses several times, without the
smallest effect, stopped in dismay,
whereupon the bridegroom encouraged
him with, "Go ahead, pass'n, go ahead!
thou'rt doin bravely." Upon another &C.
casion it was, strangely enough, the
woman who could not he prevailed upon
to speak. When the clergyman remon-
strated with her, she Indignantly replied:
"Your father married me twice befoor.
and he wasn't akin ME any Of them inn

ger That He Paid Double.

ger That He Paid Double.
A pretty Young woman, dressed in tho
height of fashion, got into one Of the
Fifth avenue "busses" the other day to
drive up to Central park. Some of these
buses still run on the old "bobtail" sys-
TEN, that is. they have ID conductors to
collect the fare, and passengers must
themselves drop their nickels into box
at the end of the conveyance. The
driver is supplied with a quantity of
small coin to make change for passen-
gers who have not the exact fare. AS
this handsome young woman took out
her purse, several men bent forward ex-
pectantly for the privilege of passing
her coin up to the box for her. Ignoria:;
their readiness, she made her way up to
the box herself and dropped dime i'll
to it.
Then she waited for her change. No
change came, however. She looked at
the box anxiously, evidently thinking
that perhaps she needed to pull out il
handle or press a button somewhere in
order to see her change fall out, but all
she saw was a little sign, "Put the exact
fare in the box" The men whom she
had overlooked only grinned. She APP
pealed to the driver for change. He told
her he could not open the box, but that
if she would wait until another passen-
ger got aboard she could have his nickel
instead of his dropping it in the box.
Pretty soon typical ''chappie," with
monocle and English covert coat much
too large for him, stepped into the bus
and offered the driver ten cents to be
changed into two nickels. The driver
explained to him the predicament the
young lady was in and asked him to give
her one of the nickels.
Certainly, with all the pleasure in
the world" said the young fellow. as
with "ain't-I-just-in-it" smile he raised
his hat, bowed profusely to the young
woman and dropped nickel into her
little gloved hand. He beamed into her
eyes as he did SO in way that evident
ly embarrassed her, but he grinned
wider at her blush and looked around at
the others as if to say, Watch me mash
her the first time" Then with jaunty
air he dropped the other nickel in the
box.
Then several men snorted and the
young fellow looked up surprised to see
what they were laughing at. He could
not help seeing that he was the object Of
their mirth. He could not understand it
at first, but pretty soon it struck him
that he had got rid of two nickels fer
one ride. Then he blushed up to TIC
roots Of his hair, got very hot indeed
and went out on the roof to cool Off

An African River.

The Webbe Shebeyli, ana frican river,
is one of the wonders of the Dark Con-
tinent. Although it is a large, rapid
flowing river, almost as large as the
Missouri, and flows for hundreds Of
miles through fertile country, it never
reaches the sea. About thirty miles be-
fore it's waters get to the point where
they should mingle with those of the In

Serving things hot, tOo, goes Q long
way; IL cooks could only b made to
realize that hot food h very rarely crit
eised they would be more careful in this
respect. An experienced housekeeper
said tho other day, "The real reason that
my things are so much liked is not that
they are one bit nicer than any one
else's, but always see that each dish is
served sc pining hot that there is no
chance for m lch criticism of the flavor. :"

Silk Manufacture.

France exports silk goods to the value
of e10, 900, 600, two-thirds of which arr

Advice from Confucius.

That the use of tea was universal very
early in Chinese history is borne out by
one of the maxims of Confucius, the

good and courteous to all, even to the
stranger from other lands. IF he say
unto thee that he thirsteth give unto him

without price. "-Philadelphia Times.
