Each young couple was the center of an
eager throng of rice pelting friends and they
eviiently longed for the arrival of Condue-
tor Sanborn and hi. train. On the baggage
trucks the most prominent articles were the
various bridsl trunks profusely decorated
"a ith white ribbons. old shoes and dowers-
When the train did arrive much amuse-

How He Gauged 1t.

A Devonshire farmer went to London
to see the sights While walking down
the Strand he saw card in a tavern
window bearing the inscription: "Dev-
onshire cider sold here" The old mans
heart warming towards his native bev-
erage, he entered the public house and
called for "a pint O. zider." The liquor
being drawn, he placed it to his lips and
half-emptied the measure, putting it on
the counter with the remark that it was
very poor stuff"
A cockney standing by, thinking he
could raise joke at the farmers ex-
pense, said; ~ say. mister, do you
know how that cider was made9"
"No," said the farmer.
well, I'll tell you. They stuck up
barrel of water at one end of shed,
and stood back at the other end and
threw apples at it."
Ibid they?" said the farmer, slowly
slipping the cider. ''Then they didn't
hit that barrel morn oncc."-Tit-Bits.

HoMEspuN FOR CLOTHING.
Material from Canada in Great Demand
Among Men of Fashion.

Among Men oil taShiOn.
Rough, picturesque material of a
light gray or creamy color and coarse
as towel is occasionally seen in the
streets of New York, worn by men of
fashion during the hot weather, and
usually all three pieces of the suit are
worn together Many people wonder
where this cloth comes from, says the
of the tailor shops and is never seen in
ready-made clothing
The material is Canadian homespun
1t is not the homespun which is made
in the steam mills, but is the real arti-
Gle, and it is made on hand looms by
the inhabitants of Canada during the
long winter here. No two pieces are
ever alike, and it is impossible to
''match it" This cloth is admirably
suited for hot weather. Its rough coat
makes it look thick and heavy, but it
is loosely woven and the wind blows
through it. Then. again, it can be
thrown into tub and washed. This
cloth comes in all varieties of gray and
contains no dye.
The habitant saves the feeces of his
sheep, one or two of which are likely
to be black. He mixes the black with
the white wool, and if he has no black
sheep his homespun will be all white.
The French Canadian farmer wears
this homespun himself. 1t is so cheap
in Canada and so universally worn by
the poorer classes there that gentle
man from Three Rivers says: Nobody
making any pretension of fashion or
style in Canada would wear the home
spun of the country, which, like blue
jeans in some parts of the west is re-
garded as the mark of the country
man. Yet it is an excellent, honest,
serviceable and handsome material. l
have seen it in fashionable tailor
shops of London, where it is sold for
a high price on it's merits. 1t has an
air of picturesque distinction pos
sessed by no other material for mems
clothes"
Who has ever seen American home
spun? That, too, never gets into the
New York market. The homespun
made by the farmers and farmers
wives of Maine is handsome, closely
woven brown material, stained with
butternut juice. In the mountains of
West Virginia also strong, serviceable
material is made and worn by the
poor whites" Most of the Scotch
homespuns are make in steam mills, as
are many of the Irish. From CONNER
cial standpoint they are better cloths
than those made by hand, but they lack
the individuality of the latter, and are
not SO artistic.

BIG MAILS FROM THE WEST.

Members of Congress from Beyond the
Mississippi Get the Most Letters.
1t is interesting to note the striking
differences in amount and degree that
characterize the correspondence of
representatives from different sections
of the country, says the Washington
Star. The mail of representatives
from the New England and South At
lantic states is comparatively light,
that of representatives from the middle
states is moderate, or from fair to
middling," and that of the western,
northwestern and southwestern states
is exceedingly heavy. In other words,
1t seems that the people of the older
states, particularly of the thirteen
original states, which had their exist
ence before the union was established,
lean but lightly upon the federal gov
ernment and have but few wants to
express in correspondence to their
representatives at Washin gton, while
residents of the newer states, whose
state governments were erected
simultaneously with their admission
into the union, are apt to look to
Washington for nearly everything
they want. In the old states along the
Atlantic seaboard the people by in
stinct and tradition rely upon them
selves and upon their state govern
ments, while in the later admitted
states, especially those beyond Illinois
to the north, south and west, as fer ex-
ample Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and
Missouri, the people appear by custom
to be more dependent upon the general
government. Particularly is this the
case in states where conditions of
acute unrest and dissatisfaction pre-
vail from industrial or financial
causes. There the people have become
habitually clamorous in their demands
upon congressman to procure them
pensions, sustenance and situations, to
remedy and redress their wrongs, real
or imagined, to tighten their burdens,
to mitigate their woes and to do other
things by legislation and influence at
Washington which can only be done
by the exertion of individual affort and
independence. Again, on the other
hand, the southern people in the main
bother their congressman very little by
writing letters.

MOURNING Dress In England.

In England the period of mourning
for father-In-law is twelve months
ten months black. two months half
mourning. Grape Is seldom WON, al
thaugh she grape period was formerly
six months. For a parent the period
is the same as above. The longest Pc
riodufor a brother is six months-five
months black, one month half mourn
ing. The Grape period was formerly
three months. 1t is now almost dis
carded. The shortest period is four
months black, no half mourning. The
Period of mourning for a father-in-law
Is often shortened to six months when
velatives reside at considerable dis
tance from each other.

NEW ENGLAND BRIDAL FEASTs.

Marriage Celebrations of the Old Coun-
try Reproduced in the New World.
Marriage celebrations and marriage
customs followed in the new world
many of the customs of the old world.
Sackposset, the drink of Shakespeare's
time, rich, thick concoction of boiled
ale, eggs and spices, was drunk at
New England weddings, as we learn
from the pages of Judge Sewall's
diary; but it did not furnish very gay
wassail, for the Puritan posset-drink-
ing was preceded and followed by the
singing of psalm-and such psalm!
long, tedious drawing performance
from the Bay Psalm Book.
The bride and groom and bridal
party walked in a little procession to
the Westinghouse on the Sabbath fol-
lowing the marriage. We read in the
Sewall diary of a Sewall bride thus
coming OUT or ''walking-out bride"
as it was called in Newburyport, Cot
ton Mather thought 1t expedient to
thus make public with due dignity the
marriage. In some communities the
attention of the interested public was
couple in what seems to us very
comic fashion. On the Sabbath fol-
lowing the wedding a gayly dressed
bride and groom occupied prominent
seat in the gallery of the meeting
house and in the middle of the sermon
they rose and slowly turned round to
display complacently on every side
their wedding finery.
In Larned's History of Windham
County, Conn.," we read description
of such scene in Brooklyn, Conn.
Further attention was paid to the
bride by allowing her to choose the
text for the sermon preached the first
Sunday of the coming-out of the newly.
married couple. Much ingenuity was
exercised in hRding appropriate and
unusual Bible texts for these we'd
ding sermons. The instances are well
known of the marriage of Parson
Smiths two daughters, one of whom
selected the text: ''hfarY has chosen
that good partl'' while the daughter
Abby, who married John Adams, de-
cided upon the text: John came neither
eating bread nor drinking wine, and
ye say he hath DEVIL
This latter ingenious and curious
choice has givan rise to an incorrect
nation that the marriage of Abigail
Smith with John Adams was distaste-
full to her family. Mr. Charles Francis
Adams says thai this supposition is en-
tiFely unfounded, and that old Presi-
dent Adams would fairly rise in his
grave and denounce any such slander

Death Stole His Prize.

The birmingham Post tells strik-
ing story of the recent death of the
venerable Italian poet, Ghislandoni.
To determine how many Italian men
of letters knew English well enough
to translate Tennyson, the Corriere
della Sera of Milan offered a pair of
beautiful japanese vases for the best
rendition of four lines from THE
Princess" Ghislandoni, the writer of
Verdi's librettos, won the prize from
seven hundred and nineteen competi-
tors. A fete was prepared in his
honor, but on the very day of the
award he sank under the excitement
of his long retarded frame. and died,
gazing happily at the vases.

FINE SPANISH ONIONS.
Coming to America In Increasing Quan.
titles from Valencia

Coming to America In Increasing Guam
titles from Valencia.
The large and handsome Spanish
onions, which have been coming to
this country in increasing quantities
for the lost half dozen years, are now
cheaper than they have ever been
known here. According to the Gar
denars Magazine, these vegetables are
grown mainly near Valencia, in Spain,
and the first shipments this year,
which came by the way of England,
were harvested too early, and were
therefore watery. Being liable to
quick decay, they were hurried upon
the market and sold for low prices.
The first direct importation was also
off grade in quality, and this set the
price for the season very low, so that
in many auction sales the price has
barely covered the freight and duty,
to say nothing of the commissions and
cost of packing. The duty of 40 cents
on a bushel of fifty-six pounds, to-
gether with the freight, commission
and cost abroad, brings the actual
value to the importer about so cents
crate laid down, and, therefore, when
prices range from 55 cents to 81 crate
the trade has been disastrous one.
Together with what has already ar
rived and what is expected, the imports
this year will amount to 900 crates,
or about 1900 bushels.
Attempts to raise this Spanish orion
in California and other parts of the
country from seed purchased in Spain
have generally proved unsuccessful, as
the vegetables when grown here do
not differ much from the ordinary do
mestic onion. 1t seems that a Castil-
ian climate and soil is necessary for
the production of this delightful
product,

THE GORILLA AT HOME.
What a Scientific Traveller Discovered In
the African Jungle.

What Scientific Traveller Discovered In
the African Jungle.
The usual pictures of the gorilla do
not represent him as 1 have seen him,
writes R. L. Garner in McClure's Mag
azine. He has not only crouching
habit, but he walks on all four of his
legs, and has the motion of most quad
rupeds, using his right arm and left leg
at the same time, and alterpates with
the left arm and right leg. 1t is not
exactly a walk or trot, but kind of
ambling gait, while the chimpanzee
uses his arms as crutches, but lifts
one foot from the ground little in ad-
vance of the other. They do not place
the palm of the hand on the ground,
but use the back of the fingers from
the second joint, and at times the one
1 have described above seemed to
touch only the back of the nails, but
this was when she was scarcely NOV
ing at all.
On reaching Ste. Anne 1 selected a
site for my cage and erected it at once.
1t is located in the Jungle, trifie more
than mile from any human habita-
ton, and named it Fort Gorilla. 1t
is in spot where nothing but the
denizen of the bush has any cause to
come. 1t is near a grove of plan
tains on which the gorilla feasts with
a gusto of a charter member of the
Gourmand club. He does not care so
much for the fruit, but takes out the
tender heart of the young stalk, which
is quite succulent, and eats it with
an appetite peculiar to his race.
Before my cage was quite in order to
receive l had my first call from a
young gorilla, who came within about
ten yards, as if to see what was going
on. had my rifle in my hand but did
not fire at him, as desired him to call
again and bring friends. He didn't
tarry long, but hurried off into the
bush as though he had something to
tell.
The third day after my cage was
completed a family of ten gorillas
crossed the rear of the open grounds
belonging to the mission and not more
than two hundred yards from the
house. A small native boy was within
some twenty yards of them when they
crossed the path in front of him.
Within few minutes 1 was notified of
the fact and took my rifle and followed
them into the bush until 1 lost their
trail. A few hours later they were
seen again by some natives not far
away from the cage, but they did not
call on me. The next day, however, 1
had visit from group who came
within some thirty yards of the cage.
The bush was so dense that l could
not see them, but could easily distin-
guish four or five voices, which seemed
to be engaged in a family broil of some
kind. I suppose that they were the
same family that had been seen the day
