Quaint Marriage Customs.

In the Tyrol when young girl is aboui
% be married her mother brings her
handkerchief OF newly spun linen called
tear handkerchief. This the bride uses
o dry her eyes at the altar and when she
caves her home. Afterward the web is
out away unwashed among her treasures.
When she dies it is taken out and laid
over her face. The Italian peasant girl,
as soon as she has learned to spin anc
sew, begins to make her wedding trous-
seau. Thence, piece by piece, 1t grows,
and she has put into it all her finest
s;itchery and sweetest thoughts. Al
soon as she is a bride she makes bag OF
iine muslin. This she begins to fill with
rose leaves. Each year adds its share.
When she dies, perhaps an old woman
tull Of years, it is this rose pillow that
her head rests on. In this calm accep-
lance of and preparation for the great
events OF life, such as marriage and death,
there are time and soil for the blossom
ing OF fancy which we, stumbling, hit
and miss, through life, do not furnish

the malady. Perhaps the term "stage
fright" could hardly be applied to their
cases, but its effects were practically the

informed of the designs Of Appius Clau-

trouble, and he said that his lines " went
from him that although he knew them
as we'll as he knew his own name he could
not'recall a word Of them. He triedt h1
his thoughts upon Virginia, hoping thai
would enable him to get his bearings, but

with more vigor than he had ever before

It is Claimed that Crisp's Re-elec-
tlon Is Almost Certain.
Mr.. BLAINE is VERY CHEERFUL.
Secretary OF state Foster To Resign and
Become United States Counsel Before
the Beh ring Sea Arbitration Commit
teo-Dr. McGlynn's Case Settled.

.wAsHiNGToN, Dec. PA number OF
the friends OF Speaker Crisp, among them
Chairman Springer OF the ways ana
means, Holman Of the appropriations,
and Outhwaite of the military affairs
committees, had a conference for the pur-
pose OF comparing notes concerning the
speakership contest.
A careful canvass OF those selected 10
the present House and OF the members
elected TO the Fifty-third Congress shows
that Crisp has now one hundred and nifty
out OF the two hundred and seventeen
Democratic members In the next House.
Crisp's friends therefore feel very conh-
dent OF bis reelection.
The speakers opponents, however, VINO
include some OF the ablest men in Con-
gress, are quietly at work and are deter
mined to defeat him IL possible. Crisp
and his friends desire an extra session oil
Congress. They fear that IL 1t was de-
ferred until October or to the regular time
OF meeting 1t would give his opponents
some advantage, as they would have full
time to organize their forces against him.
The speaker and his friends, therefore
favor calling a session simply TO organize
the House, appoint a few committees and
then take recess until fall.
Speaker Crisp says that President-elec'
Cleveland does not object to this.

The well known scientific photographer,
hnschetz, OF Lissa, has for some years
been experimenting in making photo
graphs of the flight OF cannon balls from
the instant they leave the muzzle OF the
gun TO the time OF their striking the OBJ
ject aimed at. After many attempts and
failures he finally succeeded in obtaining
highly interesting results, not reaching
what he called the acme OF perfection,
however, until 1890. The plates o. this
last mentioned experiment were submit
ted to DIR. Koenig Of the Berlin Univer-
sity, who was able to make therefrom the
long sought practical calculations. From
figures thus deduced DIR. Koenig estab-
lished the fact that the projectile photo
graphed has been passing through the
air with velocity OF 400 meters per
second, and that the duration OF the
light thrown on the Photographic plates
had not exceeded the tcn-thousandth
part OF o second. Philadelphia Press.

The Famous Father McGivnn Case.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2i.-The famous case
OF Father McGlynn, of st. Stephens
church, New York City, has finally been
decided by the restoration to him OF au-
thority to perform his priestly functions
The settlement of the case came within
the scope OF the general power vested in
Monsignor Satolli, the papal legate, and
the decision was promulgated by him last
night at the Catholic University, where
he is stopping. This decision by Mgr.
6atolli enables Father McGlynn to serve
as priest in any parish to which he may
be assigned. The question OF his return
to st. Stephens must be settled, the au-
thorities here say, by Archbishop Corri-
gEh OF New York.

WARRINGTON, Dec. 24.-The secretary
OF war has isssed q general order an
nouncing renewal of the agreement en-
tered Into by the United States and Mexico
whereby the federal troops OF the two
countries may cross over the territory OF
the other in pursuit OF savage hostile In
dians. The agreement Is renewed because
OF the recent raids of Apaches under
"Kid" along the dividing line between
Arizona and New Mexico and the fear
that these tribes will seek to evade the
pursuit of United States troops by cross
ing the frontier into Mexico. The
agreement runs for one year from Nov.
