Then Detectives McVey and Witsil

they informed the prisoners that Mayor

SymboIicaI Marriages,

DIR. A. II. Post, the well known an
thropologist. describing various mar
riage customs. refers to a strange
sort of symbolical marriage which is
supposed to have originated in In
dia. It Is a marriage with trees
plants, animals or inanimate objects
II any one proposes to enter upon a
union which is not in accordance
with traditional ideas, it is believed
that the i'll luck which is sure to fol
low may be averted by n marriage
of this kind, the evil consequences
being borne by the object chosen.
In various regions girl must not
marry before her elder sisters. but in
some parts of southern India the
difficulty is overcome by the eldest
daughter marrying the branch of a
tree. Then the wedding of the sec.
ond daughter may safely be cele-
brated. DIR. Post gives several other
instances. which are likely to be new

Simple Cape Breton Boys Try an Expert

OF late faraway Cape Breton is
land, with its quaint manners and
customs and the simplicity of its
habitant. has attracted much atten-
ton among the people of the states.
This is largely due To the fact that
the continuation of the Intercolonial
railroad across the island has made it
accessible, and it is now visited an
nually by people.
As might well be imagined the first
traiE of cars that ran on the island
attracted great attention. The Gaelic
people collected from miles around
and waited for hours to see the puff

pass on their way either To Sydney
or down to the Gut of Canso. Some

John Bright's First Salmon.

An interesting story of Mr.. John
Bright's early angling experiences is
told by Mr.. Corballis. Mr.. Bright
was receiving his first lesson in sal
mon fishing from the grandfather of
the present Lord Lovat at the Groam
Pool, on the Beauty. He was told to
cast over spot not more than three
yards from him, and, thinking to
steady the line. turned it around his
foreiinger.
The result was that when Mr..
Bright hooked fish. as he did at the
very first cast. he gave an agonized
yell, and forthwith tumbled straight
into the river. The line had cut bis
finger nearly to the bone. and he
threw the ROD away 10 free himself.
Lord Lovat, who had a gaff in Lis
hand. quietly slipped it into Mr..
Bright's neither garments and held
him until he was pulled on. by some
friends who We're near. Pail Mall

Catherine Leighton, alias Cassie Hill,
died in Amy Clayton's house in this

shot wound inflicted early Monday

IL. g. Spencer, u physician of rromi-
hence in this state and wealthy man
connected with the best society Of the
city, was her lover.
DIR. Gordon Spencer was in the Clay
ton woman's house Sunday night.
Spencer says that Miss Hill secured a
pistol which he had purchased for her,
and standing few feet from him, ac.
cused him Of not loving her and asked
him if she should shoot herself. He
says he told her she should and she fired.
The bullet entered the left breast near
the heart. Spencer attended her until
she died.
The inmates of the house were eau
toned to say nothing Of the shooting
and they were faithful. The authorities
have endeavored to keep the matter
quiet, but Spencer told the whole story

High Prices Prevaiiing--An Increased
supply of Hogs--Conservative Course
of pnrlfars

CHICAGO, Dec. 5.-The close of the past
week in the provision trade witnessed
some abatement of high prices which has
characterized that market for some weeks
past, and there was evidence of consider
able liquidation Of holdings by the Wright
Cudas clique.
The high prices prevailing in this mar
ket have tended to increase the supply of
hogs somewhat and the quality of animals
received is improving. The packers have
pursued very conservative course for
some time past selling product only MS
against the quantity Of hogs packed.
The actual receipts throughout the week
have generally exceeded the estimated re-
ceipts very considerable and the receipts at
other points also indicate a more liberal
marketing of hogs, The advance OF price
OF hogs for the week showed n gain of
from to 10 cents for the lighter grades
and 10 TO q cents for the heavier grades.
The feeling 1T the close Saturday, how
ever. gave indication uf u weak underline
pointing to a less firm market for the
present week The packers report that tile
export demand for hog products has prac-
tically ceased on account If the abnornially
high prices prevailing being preferred on
account OF the comparatively lower range
of prices.

NOME DREssMAKISG.
About tho Quantity of STUFF Needed for
Various Articles of Attire.


Cassell's Family Magazine.
To facilitate home dressmaking, | am
going to tell you little as to the guam
tity Of stuff needed for various articles
of attire. Five yards of double-width
material will make an ordinary dress
ing gown. Five yards are needed for q
petticoat with two narrow frills and
two and a half of wide woollen stuff, if a
foot frill is needed. A dozen yards OF
calico must be reckoned for half Il dozen
chemses, and nine yards for the same
quantity Of knickerbockers. | do not
recommend the following plan, ! simply
tell you that it is much adopted. Many
women wear no underlinen save wollen
combinations, and over these, in cold
weather, full flannel drawers and woven
woollen petticuat bodices. They reduce
the washing bill in this manner con
siderably, for with several OF the new
preparations, woollens can be cleansed
at home most speedily.
Dressing jackets take two and a half
yards. Six yards of serge, double width,
are required for winter dress; three
and half yards OF silk are needed for
a satisfactory blouse. Some of the
blnuses imported from Paris fastch in
visibly at the back beneath small box
pleat, which allows the trimming of
lace and baby ribbon to fall undisturbed
in the front. Wide cuffs of lace giving
q dressy appearance, enhanced by gold
embroidered senorita jackets, which are
to be recommended because they are
not likely TO go out of fashion. and the
untarnishahlc gold is SO well worked it
can be adapted to other decorative pur-
poses when the original object is of no
further use. The empire style is the
prevailing one for eyening-scanty
skirts and extremely short waists. It
will have its following, but will be worn
by some and ignored by others, for it is
trying and requires the best of good
dress. makinu
