NEW York, Jan. 2.-Mr. Blaine suf-
fered another relapse yesterday. 1t is
said that the relapse was in every way
similar to those which have occurred in
the last few weeks. While the attack
was alarming TO the family it was by nc
means as severe as the attack which
occurred two weeks ago. But the
frequency of these sinking spells is
what causes the great alarm to the
family and the attending physicians
From each attack Mr.. Blaine evidently
rallies more slowly than before. The
attack yesterday appeared to leave bin
utterly helpless and unable to raise his
hand. Later Ia the evening he recovered
somewhat and is now apparently out OF
immediate danger.

red rose and in Portugal the carnation
have supplanted it. In many parts of
Germany there are several distinct
customs to be observed. The sprigs
from which the wreath shall be twined
must in some places be taken at fixed
hour of the night between certain holy
days. In some countries or districts
the veil is used without the wreath.
In the province of Dalarne, in Sweden,
the bride wears white cloth round
her head, and in several countries the
bridal wreath has, in the course of
time, taken the shape of a more or less
elaborate headgear or wedding crown.
This is the case in Norway and in
several places in Germany. In Alien
burg it takes the shape of a red velvet
cap, round which run thirteen silver
rings, from which are suspended a
number of silver and gold plates and
coins. A veil and a profusion of float
ing silk ribbons in gay colors complete
the bridal crown. In Denmark the
myrtle is universally used for bridal
wreaths, together with long white
veil. Many families possess myrtle
trees, which have for quite genera
ton or more furnished the myrtle
wreaths for the brides of the family.

STRANGE PEOPLE.
A Tribe in India Which Has Some Pc

A Tribe in India Which Has Some Pc
culiar Beliefs.
Scattered over the breezy downs of
the Nilgherries, in the little villages
of wicker houses that look at little
distance like nothing in the world so
much as colony of beehives, lives a
community of six or seven hundred
people, who are variously believed to
be the descendants of one of the lost
tribes of Israel, the aborigines Of
southern India and community of
Manichasens.
They believe in a strange trinity and
and this they must cross by means of a
single thread. The soul, burdened
with sin, is too heavy for this slender
support and the sinner falls into the
stream, but the thread sustains easily
the souls of the good. The funeral of
a Toda, for that is the name of the sin
gular tribe, is as odd in it's way as it's
religious belief. His body is wrapped
in new cloth and his toes tied to-
gether with red thread Grain, sugar,
tobacco and money are wrapped in his
funeral toga to provide him for his
journey across the Styx and the dark
plain beyond.
Two buffaloes are slain beside the
corpse and the dead mans hands are
placed upon their horns. A piece of his
skull, his hair and his finger nails are
removed to be used later on at the
great celebration of the death of all
those who during the twelve months
have taken the leap over the precipice
into the bottomless abyss" When
these tokens are removed clarified but
ter is smeared on the fragrant wood of
the funeral pyre and the body is burned
to ashes and the ashes scattered to the

SWARMS OF WILD GEESE.
One of the Terrors Which Beset the Wheat
Grower in California.

in California, and it is SO big that few,
except those who are familiar with
them, can readily believe it," said
State Senator Dare to San Francisco
Examiner reporter. 81 own a ranch
of fourteen thousand acres at Knights
Landing, on the Sacramento-the Yolo
ranch. raise great deal of wheat,
and every year as soon as the wheat
comes up the country is overrun with
geese. have seen droves of them two
or three miles long, and so thick that
when you shoot into them with rifle
you are bound to hit some of them.
They are so plentiful that am obliged
to hire herders to keep them off. They
settle in great bands. A band will set
tie down on five acres, say, and you
won't hear quack nor a squawk, but
the geese are there and very industri-
Gus, and before you know it they have
pulled up and eaten every bit of the
grain. They have a skillful way of
grasping the tender shoots in their
mouths and pulling and relaxing
and pulling again till they get
the swollen grains with the blades
and then eat the whole. A
storm is almost sure to bring
them in large numbers, but they often
come in entirely fair weather I keep
many herders to drive them away. If
it were not for this I wouln't have any
wheat. The men are armed with loud
sounding Winchesters and they keep
shooting among them all the time. At
night the geese don't bother, but early
in the morning and all through the
day they literally swarm. The herd
ers go out very early in the morning
Ind stay all day. 1t is a continual bat
lie. The geese must be kept going all
;he time or the wheat is gone. When
the men are blowing they get very
close to the geese. Take fourteen OF
sixteen teams, each with big pillow
that turns four burrows. They come
along in a tring. The first one is a
good way off. The next is little
closer, and SO on till the last one is
fifty feet or more nearer than the first
one was. The geese don't notice this
and man cab knock them over as he
goes by. l saw one man take monkey
wrench and bowl away and kill one.
In fact, if anyone wants geese he may
easily kill them by thousands, and ]
was almost going to say millions, UP
there. l have killed them myself
many time. The annual visitation
of the geese at Knights Landing is
not joke. 1t is the sternest kind Of
reality and means heavy loss if war.

Materials of Which the Emblem Is Gen

No wreath has been SO sung by poets
and rhymesters as that which graces

among those who have sung its praises.
In the time of the Old Testament the
Jews saw in the myrtle a sign of what,
for them, was most beautiful and
precious-the promised land for which
they were always longing. Later on,
among the Greeks, the myrtle and the
rose were considered the favorite flow
ers of Venus, the goddess of love, and
gardens of myrtle were planted in her
honor, with beds of roses, the red rose
and the green myrtle representing the
union of love and virtue. Nowadays

MARRIAGE m MASSACHUSETTS
Some Reasons Why Yankee Women Have
Long Outnumbered the Men.

Some Reasons Why Yankee Women Have
Long Outnumbered the Mem.
The excess of women over men has
long been a feature of the population
statistics of Massachusetts,, and since
Mormonism is not permitted to flour
ish in that progressive state the natu-
raj effect of this feminine surplus has
been an unusual number of old maids.
The cause, says the New York Press,
is probably Horace GreeIeys advice to
young men on the subject of going
west. The Massachusetts young man
has been going west ever since, but we
decline to believe that it is his fault
that the Massachusetts, young woman
has not gone west with him. She
stayed behind, not that she loved the
Massachusetts young man less, but
that she loved Massachusetts, more,
especially Boston. But as the Massa-
chusetts young woman who did not
go west with the young man of Horace
Greeley's day became an old maid she
missed the young man. She was left
to lavish the wealth of affection upon
cats, birds and other pets And thus
it happened that Massachusetts, old
maid, having nobody else to leave her
fortune to, recently left it to her pet
cat.
There are those who think the ten
dency of our time is toward a reduction
in the ratio of marriages to the popu-
lation of the manageable. In one
sense this is result of the continual
Improvement in the independence and
general social condition of women.
Not only are they no longer the slaves
of men, but they are not obliged to tie
themselves to men in order to get a
living. AS civilization increases the
number Of occupations in which skill
and tact and passive endurance make
success, women, being often superior
in these respects, take possession of a
greater number of places and crowd
men out. The tables seem to be turned
against the inquiry of Miss Mona
Card: SIS Marriage a Failure?" This
question caused great deal of discus
sion in print few years ago. If it is
to be answered in the affirmative
which heaven forfend-then it must
also be declared, on the strength OF
the latest returns from Massachusetts,,
that singleness is a failure too. This
leaves the relative merits of marriage
and of singleness just where they were
before Miss Mona Card dared to prick
the alleged bubble of matrimony with
her pen. If an old maid who died rich
was, nevertheless, so circumscribed in
the wealth of affection and home life
as to be obliged to endow cat, what
can be said of the success of old maids
who never get rich, even in money?

True and Appropriate.

A story is told of certain Parson
Black who had a hymn of which he
was especially fond, and which so &C
curately expressed his sentiments that
he made use of it on all possible occa-
sions. One of these was the funeral
OF his most prominent deacon, who,
though active in the affairs of the
church, had, in the business world, a
reputation for sharpness and closeness
that was not wholly enviable. The
services were drawing to a close. Par
son Black rose slowly from his chair
and, in voice of sepulchral sadness,
said
Friends: Before removing the
remains of our dearly beloved
brother from this house to the
house appointed for all the Twin, let us
join in singin' the two hundred and
seventy-fourth hymn
"'Believin' we rejoice
To see the curse removed"
