FADED ORANGE BLOSSOMS.

William Tulliver and Minnie Stach-
house, of Paoli, Ind, were married on
horseback in the rain. The preacher
stood on the doorstep. The couple
said they were rain soaked and had too
far to so to lose time.
Orange blossoms for weddings are of
comparatively modern adoption. The
Saracen brides used to wear them as
emblems, and the custom was prob
ably introduced by the Crusaders on
their return from the Holy Land.
After young woman of Danbury,
Conn, had purchased her wedding
trousseau, fixed the day for the cere-
mony, invited the guests and allowed
her betrothed to purchase the mar
rage license, she suddenly changed
her mind and said she guessed she
didn't want to get married just yet"
In the cheese regions OF Switzerland
custom prevails for the friends of
the bride and groom to join in the pre-
sentation to them on their wedding
day of an elaborate cheese. The
cheese Is used as family register and
heirloom, on which the births, deaths
and marriages of its various members
are recorded. Some of these old
cleeSeS date back to 1860.

Deafness Can't be cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inhamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when It Is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken ont and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.

A RUSSIAN STORY,
How Human, Governor R,leased an
Imprisoned Ssrr.

How q Human, Governor R,leased an
Imprisoned Ssrr.
MIR. Barry In his work Russia in
1870, tells story OF time when
slavery was an Institution in that
country. A CERTAIN ironmaster caused
a man who had offended him to be
locked up in an iron cage, and kept
him confined in it for length Of
time. At last while he was absent on
journey the case OF the wretched
prisoner came TO the notice of the
governor OF the provence. The gov
ernor caused the man. cage and all to
be brought to the government torn,
and invited the tyrannical ironmaster
to dinner. After the dinner was over
the governor sent for quail in a
wooden cage, and offered to sell it for
ten thousand roub!es. The orer be-
ing treated us joke. the governor
said he had more valuable bird to
sell. and told his servants 10 bring it
in. Folding doors flew open. and the
iron cage with its miserable captive
was set down before the astonished
guest Now" said the governor.
what do you think Of that for quailp
But this is very expensive bird; I
want twenty thousand roub,es for
him" "All right said the alarmed
proprietor-'I will buy this one; send
him down to my works without the
cage. and your messenger shall bring
you the amount" The matter was
thus pleasantly settled. and the com,
pany adjourned in uEdisturbed har,
mony to their coffee.

Current Notes of the Modes.

Among the new silks are those fig
ured in broche design in several tones
of color in what is called cameo effects.
A recent fancy is the trimming of
light silk and brocade dinner dresses
with black tulle ruches. These ruches
have the softening effect of feather
bands, which they somewhat resemble.
Plain tulle of very light texture is used
1t is very thickly plated and very
prodigally applied
Fur as trimming. which in the nat
ural order of things would now be re-
tired, seems to have taken a new lease
of life. 1t is much used on mirror"
or changeable silk and velvet For
instance, gray and pink or gray and
mauve changeable velvet is trimmed
with chinchilla and blue fox is used on
glycine and gol1 velvets and silks
Roman red capes and coats are being
made up for mountain wear, for the
beach and for driving. There is al
ways an admixture of black in these
gay garments. AS, for instance. the
capes have black velvet Jokes and the
Moorish driving Jackets black velvet
collars and full sleeves with black
leviathan braiding about the edge.
Gilt trimmings of all sorts, gimps,
braids, pins, laces and nets are among
the spring novelties that are certain to
speedily become vulgarized. They are
cheap ana pretentious and are on par
with cotton velvet, cotton warp silk
and "pinchback" jewelry. Fine Cairo
gold ornamentation is effective on a
costly costume, but with this exception
gilt is trimming TO be avoided
The lego mutton sleeve appears TO
be as popular as ever with ladies' tail
ors and modistes, whether correspond
ing with the corsagc or made of some
other fabric. The bishop-sleeve also
continues in favor, and though it does
not stand as high on the shoulders as
formerly, it is even wider, and its full
ness is allowed to droop over the close,
handsome cuff in which it invariably
terminates.

The Eleventh Lesson.

/ In every respect it will be observed
that the pen and pencil differ from each
other. The question as to the merits of
each for reporting purposes has been dis.
cussed to considerable extent by men,
bcrs of the profession. Those reporters
who employed o pencil while learning,
never afterwards giving the pen fair
trial, OF course regard the pencil with
the greater favor. OF those who have
fairly tested both, the majority prefer the
pen. The advantages of each may be
seen from the following comparison.
!. Pen work is permanent; pencil
writing fades out in few years.
2. Notes taken with q pen are black
and easy to read; pencil writing is hard
on the eyes, and for this one important
reason pencil should be used as little
IS possible.
8. Writing with gold pen, which is
q yielding, sensitive instrument, is much
less fatiguing than manipulating O PEN
Gil, which Is stiE and innexible.
Proper names are SO numerous that a
vocabulary of them could not well be men,
orizcd; aud this would be unnecessary,
since the practical writer may readily
invent sufficiently ineligible outlines for
the most difficult of them. The halying
principle, circles, loops and other adj
junctive signs should be employed more
splringly than when writing common
words.
The learner who always cultivates a
compact style of writing will in the end
be both more rapid and accurate. BY
compactness of style is meant that the
Characters be written not only small, but
closely together. The handwriting of
most all beginners is too large and sprawl.
