The Rustics.

This was the name under which Mr..
and Mrs. E. A. Wildey, Mr.. and Mrs.
+. w. Rhodes, Mr.. and Mrs. W. C.
Wildey, and Mr.. K. G.. Thayer issued
their unique invitations for a host of
friends to "trip the light fantastic until
the wee sma' hours, at the Peninsular,
Lake Cora, Tuesday evening, March
8, 1892"
The card of invitation also announced
that a train would be in waiting at the
foot of Kalamazoo st. until 7:15 p. m,
and at the appointed hour "merrie
companie" was on hand ready to forget
dull care and make the most of present
opportunities. Those who have par
taken of the hospitality of this popular
rural coterie, know that no pains was
spared to make the occasion one of un-
alloyed pleasure, and the sixty guests
who were present unanimously voted
this the finest party of the season. r..
Upon boarding the train, they were
greeted by the smiling countenance of
Ed. Thayer, who acted as conductor,
but forgot to collect the fare. Arrived
at the hotel, the party was made trebly
welcome by the other three gentlemen
and their charming wives.
The dining-room of the Peninsular
had been cleared for dancing, and
fine orchestra provided, so that the
merry strains of music and sound of
dancing feet soon announced that the
light fantastic" had begun. Nearly
all the ladies wore hot-house flowers
and many were in full dress, making
the impromptu ballroom brilliant
scene.
The more quietly disposed gathered
in the adjoining rooms for social chat,
or indulged i'm card-playing. as choice
might dictate, though nearly every one
threaded the mazy dance before the
evening ended, the Virginia Reel" and
other old-fashioned figures being in
great demand.
Fine refreshments were served which
infused such new vigor into some of our
more staid business men, that the dane
ing was resumed and continued until
the "wee sma' hours" prescribed in the
invitation, when the company reluct-
antly babe farewell to the genial hosts
and entered the train that really did
"come back" according to promise.

A new ordinance with a whistle at
tachment has recently gone into effect
at Cadillac, Michigan, the prime object
of which is to keep children away from
the temptation and sin that turks under
the cover of night. Promptly at p. m.
the big whistle sounds and is the signal
for all children to hurry homeward, if
they do not desire the escort of the
marshal. Though this smacks some
what of the old curfew bell. it surely is
wise measure of prevention and wor-
thy of wide adoption.
Chas. E. Stevens, our young expert
mentor, is now turning his attention to
electrical apparatus and has applied
for patent on an Automatic Fuse for
the protection of electric lights i'm case
of an overcharge of electricity. At such
times, as every one knows, the wire is
burnt off and the light extinguished,
often causing delay of several hours
for repairs. Charities Automatic Fuse
supplies new wire almost instantane-
ously and, if it conflicts with no other
patent, seems promising venture.

A quantity of grain for the famine
