Marking Their Lovers.

While visiting in a Norway village,
a traveller, who we will call Mr.. L.,
took lessons in Morse from a lady.
One evening there CHANGED to be
present a certain Norwegian gentle
man. When the lady rose to go to
her lodging in an adjoining house,
Mr.. L. offered to escort her; but she
declined the offer abruptly.
Rather surprised at her manner,
Mr.. L. asked the Norwegian if the
young lady was engaged or married,
and, if not, what was the meaning OF
the ring she wore?
Il am ignorant, he continued, cot
the difference of your rings between
married, going to be married, and
never going to be married"
ooh, you will never tell that" said
the Norwegian, laughing loudly. eve
cannot mark the women in thisscoun-
try as you do, but they mark the
men. Amongst us it is the man that
wears the ring"
ooh, [ see! That is a new light"
said the traveller, taking the mans
left hand, on the fourth finger of
which was plain gold ring. THAT
is your wedding ring, them"
mai, nail" he replied blushing.
"That means I have got to be mar
ried!"
"And then what becomes of it?"
ave put, it on the right hand in
stead Of the left" replied the Nor
wegian, holding out his hand to say
goodnight.
Then as he was closing the door
behind him, he said, in confidential
tones:
yes; that young lady who was
talking to you is going to marry me
next MONTH"

the Land.
The result of the election has
again brought Mrs. Cleveland promi-
nently before the people. During
the two years she was mistress of the
White House she presented to the
American people model of the true
American woman. Frances Folsom's
father was law partner of Grover
Cleveland, and the future President
was her friend and patron before he
Became her lover and husband. While
she was student at Wells College,
Aurora, n. Y, Mr.. Cleveland was
Governor of the State, and every
week great hampers of roses and
other choice flowers arrived at the lit
tie lakeside village from Albany.
During her Junior year he became
President, but the flowers continued
to arrive, and when she was gradu-
ated, in June, 1885, and a houseful
of exotics and roses came to her, it
was generally known that she had
surrendered her heart. The class ivy
of 1885, which still coils around and
creeps up the walls of Morgan Hall,
was sent by the President to his aft
anced bride, and she and her class
mates planted it during gentle June
shower. The marriage, which took
place in 1886, is well remembered,
and when little Ruth came to the
happy couple the whole country was
pleased. The child, by the way, was

The Food of Different Peoples.

Many nations, many dishes! Some
articles that are esteemed as delica-
cies by certain nations are regarded
with disgust by others. According
to the Pacific Record the Turk is
seized with violent trembling at the
very idea of eating oysters. The
American Indians look upon an inva-
sion of grasshoppers as mark of es-
pecial favor from the Great Spirit,
and make the best of such time to
lay up a store Of provisions for the
future. auckland states that among
certain people a mixture of fish,
nearly putrefied, and soap suds is
preferred to the best butter. In
Canton and other Chinese cities rats
are sold at ten cents dozen, land a
hind, quarter of a dog is more expen-
sive than mutton or beef. Some of
the East Indians eat serpents dried
in the oven, but despise the flesh Of
rabbits. Lizard eggs are delicacy
in the islands of the Pacific, and
many people besides the aborigines of
the Argentine Republic esteem the
flesh of the skunk. Ants are eaten
by many peoples, and in Siam curry
of ants eggs often tickles the palates
of the wealthy. The silkworm is
eaten with relish by the Chinese, and
a dessert of roast snails is considered
a fitting termination Of feast in

paints pictures, makes statues and
builds churches.
But there is a fearful penalty which
all these artists must pay. Blindness
comes upon them at middle age. The
glare of the furnace, the fierce radi-
ance of the molten glass, burns the
eyes, and at 40 or Whereabouts they
become blind. Benvenito Barovier,
though he scarcely looks more than
80. cannot even now see to read. 1t
is fate these glassworkers cheerful
ly face. They love their craft. Dur
ing the years of youth and early man
hood they devote their lives to art,
to the production of fragile dreams
of beauty in glass which touch will
pulverize, and then they are content
to 60 into the night and spend their
old age in darkness. For they are
rich and honored.

An Unhappy Bridegroom.

"There are discomforts connected
with getting married that very few
people know anything about, except
the bridegrOoms. remarked a young
man, who had recently gone through
the experience.
Il did not suppose the honeymoon
period had any drawbacks, Jack, J"
ventured the bachelor reporter.
"Well, it has some curious Incl
dentals that | never dreamed of.
After the public announcements of
the date of my wedding-they ap-
peared in most of the city papers,
began to receive a steady stream Of
circulars There were circulars from
haberdashers, shoe stores and florists,
and two applications from real estate
agents to show flats, and three days
before my wedding arrived a printed
slip, ostensibly a cutting from a
newspaper.
"This was truly a curiosity. It was
headed, g. to Marry, although all
New York were agog at my approach
irg ceremony, and then under the
important line by telegraph followed
a fulsome account of myself. My
brief and uneventful career was pad
ded up to heroic size; every phase of
it that could appeal to vanity was
dwelt upon, and just as some agree
able remarks were being made about
my personal appearance the article
had been clipped, and / was informed
by an accompanying circular that l
could obtain copies of the paper, one,
or any number, by sending two dol
lars to certain box at the New York
Postoffice.
"Of course | ignored this tricky
scheme, though as device for bleed
ing the vain it was most interesting;
but on my return to New York, after
the affair was all over, my real woes
began. The legitimate press associa-
tions kindly informed me thai there
were fourteen notices of my marriage,

Il devoted my first hour after re-
turning to business to this class of
applicants, when a visitor was an
nounced. He turned out to be an
insurance agent, and for five days l
talked insurance, read insurance,

brought the agents in person, the
mail brought their letters. [ even

ject From one company alone came
four different canvassers. My bust
ness was interrupted and my patience
was exhausted. Late on the sixth
day of this plague, when | was in no
mood for trifing, the door Of my out
office opened, and a small man, with
red whiskers and spectacles, came
slowly in.
"'It's no use to come any further,
I called to him. 4 know your COM
pany. There have been four other
men ahead of you, SO it's, no use.
There's an elevator in the hall. You
can ride down in it free, my friend;
I'll give you chance to go down the
stairs free-ride down, too
Il stopped here to draw breath, and
the red-headed man said:
"'You were married last month";
"'I was. Now, ask my age, | sug-
gested, and compute my chances of
life.'
"'Well, you married my niece, con-
tinued the man. i have just been
calling at your house, and she sent
me down to surprise you. [ reckon
it's the other way: and now I'll go
out and take that free elevator.

sadly, "but it was no use; he went"
A Queer Tribute.
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1892-12-01
A Queer Tribute.

In many instances, particularly in
olden times, large and powerful ma
tions have demanded tribute from
smaller and weaker states. This de-
mand was generally complied with by
the petty ruler, who fancied that
such step would render his throne
secure. When a tribute-paying king
thought he could whip the other he
generally stopped making any pay
ment, and then there was fight
about it. AS rule the tribute con-
sisted of SO much gold or some rich
product of the country. A queer
tribute, however, was exacted by
King Edgar the Peaceable, who ruled
over a part of Britain about 900 years
ago. Then there were several petty
kings scattered here and there, and a
much larger number of fierce wolves
ran wild. So in 961 King Edgar
commanded that all who paid him
tribute should pay it in wolves heads,
and from Wales he demanded 800 an
nually. AS there were plenty of
wolves this tribute was easily paid at
first. and people in those days did not
regard the selection of wolves heads
as at all queer. for the payment Of
tribute was merely an acknowledge
ment of the other nations strength.
So the wolves head tribute was regu-
tarly paid until wolves began to get
pretty we'll thinned out, and parts of
England were entirely Invested Of the
animals, which, perhaps, was just
what the king wanted. = Harper's

latter gave him a thrashing, and
then went about his accustomed duty
of preserving the peace. The infer

ly be avoided, and the chief when his
closed eye shall open may be expected
to look into the matter.

many other secret things to give the
exquisite tinges of amber, sea green
and pink, which are one of the chief
beauties of the Salyiati glass.
Through the sketches of Mr.. W.
F. Britten in Black and White the
reader will be able to get good idea
of the process. In front of the fur
naces are three or four rough seats,
each furnished with horizontal pro-
jecting arms covered with iron. At
these seats work the brothers Baro-
vier-Benvenuto, Vittorio, and PieIro
three of DR.. Salviati's most skillful
workmen. They asked much to come
to England, and it is said that each
may make from e12 to 915 per day,
in addition to share in the profits
upon the sale of the articles which
they produce.
Benvenuto is going to make piece
of glass-a flower vase supported on a
sea-dragon. He has no pattern, no
gauge, and his only tools are some
pincers and scissors. He takes long
blowpipe of iron, dips it into one of
the pots, and withdraws it with a

ing the rod deity in his hand, he is at
his seat in moment. and constantly
rolling the rod backwards and for
wards on the arms of his seat, he be-
gins to fashion the bottom of the
stand with pair of pincers. The
glass soon cools and has to be plunged
again into the furnace. Again it is
withdrawn and manipulated with ex-
traordinary dexterity. 1t takes shape
as if by magic under the hand OF the
artist, and becomes a round stand
with a stem to support the dragon.
Then an assistant takes it away to

tered. but there was no loss OF life.
Palacio was unhurt, but pretty badly
frightened.
The withdrawal from all other parts
Of the city, both Of the police and mill

reyolutionists concerned in the plot
every chance to escape. When search
was made for them not trace could be

Numerous partisans of Crespo took
advantage of the fact that the police and
army guards were summoned to leave
the city with the in tention of joining the
rebels. Until then all the roads leading
from the capital had been too closely
guarded to permit Of any enemies OF the
government getting out Of Caracas.
All the members of the federal coun-
Gil are in Jail. Everybody of any prom
inence is in constant fear of his personal
safety. The slightest suspicion Is enough
to cause the arrest of the most prominent
