DEATH AT a WEDDING.-Yestcrday
morning the nuptial ceremony took
place at St. Stanislaus' Church, between
Miss Mary Kniawa, the pretty young
daughter of Mr.. joseph Kniawa, and
Mr.. Frank Bleska. When the wedding
ceremony was at an end, the entire
party proceeded to the house of the
brides parents, where bountiful feast
had been spread. In all this merry
making Joseph Kniawa, father of the
bride, suddenly, in the midst of the
festivities, flung up his arms and tot
tered forward. Then, uttering a eroan,
he sank to the floor beside his place at
the head of the marriage board, and
when picked up was corpse. The
bride became hysterical, and threw her.
self upon the Body of her father. Sew
eral persons fed in terror from the
house. The festivities were suddenly
euded, and the gathering of jolly friends
was turned into scene of mourning.

TRAGEDY IN A CEAiETERY.-A nor,
riblc tragedy is reported from Mulhau-
sen, in Alsacc. A woman by the name
of Kern, the wife Of baskct-maker,
had been driven to desperation by the
misconduct of her husband. On Satur-
day last there was no food in the house,
and the little ones were crying for
bread. Nine. Kern, driven to distrac-
ton by the suffering Of her children, rs
well as her own, put the four youngest
in a wheelbarrow and told the fifth
child to follow her. She wheeled the
barrow through the town, the people
who saw, wondering, but not suspect
ing that the woman was about to COM
nit terrible crime. She went straight
to the cemetery and wheeled the bar
row to the cemetery chapel. There
she came TO halt and took the little
ones out of the barrow. She knclt
down herself and caused the others to
kneel, and she offered up Il prayer
After praying, the mother arose and
drew sharp knife. Drawing one Of
the children loW:Ih llcI, SHc iulChIA
cut its throat. She just as quickly cut
the Threats Of the three other children,
and reached for the fifth. The latter
tried to get away.
The keeper Of the cemetery heard
the cries of the children, and ran 10 in
terfere. He was in time to seize the
fifth child before the mother had sue
ceeded in inilicting fatal blow upon it,
although it was wounded by a cut from
the knife. The frenzied woman made
no attempt to injure the keeper, but
turned the knife against her own
throat. The keeper ran to grasp the
weapon from her, but too late. She
drew the knife across her throat and
fell. with the life blood gushing out on
the cemetery path. Mother and child
rem will be buried common grave.

American Pie INDICATED.

The American pie has triumphed.
There was time when pie was in dis
grace. 1t was considered an indigesti-
BILE and inexcusable culinary concoction.
In England, where it was almost tanta-
mount to misprision of treason to sug-
gest that plum pudding is too rich to be
healthful, pie-except perhaps mince
pie, which is as rich and dubious as
plum pudding-was tabooed. But, like
the oppressed of all nations, it found
shelter in America. There were New
England housewives who made pies
which were delicious and comforting to
the inner man, and the pumpkin pie be-
came associated with the festival of
Thanksgiving in manner altogether
honorable to those who were responsible
for making and uttering' it.
Then arose the great American philos-
opher, Emerson, the most essentially
classic type of man who has fourished
in this western world, and Emerson ate
pie three times day. DIR. Johnson used
to say that 1.-The man who drinks beer
thinks beer" Ralph Waldo Emerson
ate pie and thought philosophy. The
American rie was indicated -Milwau-
kee Wisconsin.

Students of natural history are mach
interested in the recent discovery in
New Zealand of an extensive deposit of
the remains Of the gigantic extinct birds
called moas.
The discovery was made in blowing
through slight depression in field
whore bog containing several springs
had evidently once existed. Here. buried
in deposit of peat, at depths of three
or four feet. the skeletons of 800 or 900
moas were found packed and inter-
twined together in a remarkable man
ner.
1t was evident that these great birds,
which were much larger than the mod
ern ostrich. varying in height from ten
to fourteen feet, had persisted there by
Wholesale. An enormous quantity Of
smooth quartz pebbles, which they had
carried in their crops, was found with
the skeletons. There were Also found
the remains of extinct species Of other
large birds.
Various explanations have been sug-
gested to account for the destruction Of
such an army of powerful birds. One
theory is that they were overwhelmed
by great storm, and that their remains
were heaped together by the combined
action of wind and water.
What renders the question still more
puzzling is the fact that collections Of
moa skeletons, mingled with those Of
other giant birds, have been found in
similar situations elsewhere in New Zea-
land.
Students of geology are aware that
evidence is sometimes found in the rocks
of the sudden destruction of great num-
bers of animals that formerly existed on
the earth, and the resemblance of such
cases to this of the New Zealand moas
is interesting.-Youth's Companion.

The Pollard Synthetic method OF
teaching reading is now being worked
up in the first primary department and
will be extended as soon as practicable
to the second primary. 1t is the first
school in the county, SO far as we know,
to begin the use of this system, and the
interest awakened on the part of the
pupil, warrants our saying that it is The
system with which all primary teachers
should become acquainted. Some OF
our schools teach "a phonetic system OF
reading, but this IS not the Pollard
system. While the latter includes the
good features of the phonetic system, il
gives particular attention to- the nlaane,
of developing the lesson, thus giving
the pupil a power with words that no
other system can give in the same time

Waiting for the Funeral to Pass,

The passengers on one of the traction
cable cars fumed the other day when
the gripman stopped the car to wait for
the passing of funeral. 1t took ten
minutes for the last carriage to roll by,
for it was an unusually long procession.
AS they slowly rolled past, two of those
in the car gave vent to feelings in some
such manner as this: "Did you ever see
such foolishness?" mo, not foolishness,
but superstitionl" do you think SOP
"Pshaw, can't you see by that gripman's
face that he is superstitiousp What else
can you expect from him?" He does
look superstitious, doesn't he?" At this
point the conductor broke in, "It's not
