IPretty children at a New York wedding.


+ At one of the New York weddings of
the past week four children assisted.
Two flower girls, each about 10 years
old, in empire frocks Of white india silk
and carrying large white enamel baskets
of daisies and orange blossoms, led the
train of six bridesmaids down the aisle
to meet the bride, whose maid of honor
was another young miss of 10, as pretty

white crepon and big hat with dropping
plumes as was the bride herself. AT the
altar the groom and best man were wait

When the ceremony was over, the flow
er girls preceded the bride again, scat
tering blossoms before her as they
walked, and the small page, still holding
his tray, marched alone in solemn state
directly behind her. 1t was amusing to
watch the little fellow, who had evident
" been instructed on no account to step
upon the brides train, but as evidently
had not been told about the flowers that
lay upon thefoor in his path. These he
decided were to be equally respected,
and with careworn expression of re-
gponsibility on his face he made his way
down the aisle, taking funny little skips

To Keen Ont the Flies.

Since wire windows and door screens
are comparatively expensive, what can
the housewife who cannot compass these
do? Must she meekly submit and ''nev-
er mind it?" No, indeed, not when mos
quito netting costs only few cents
yard, and though not as well looking and
durable can be made as effectual as wire
screens.
To accomplish this, make plain pine
frame that, when the lower sash is raised,
will fit closely under it and into the win
dow casing. If you cannot get black
mosquito netting, do not upon any con-
sideration use the crude, ugly blue, green
or red colors in which this fabric comes,
but get white and dye it black or leave
it white if preferred. The former, how
ever, closely resembles WIRE screens and
is less conspicuous. Stain the screens
with raw sienna or paint them to har-
monize with the color of the house. Cut
the netting to fit the frames, allowing
for a half inch hem on all sides, and after
basting on the latter tack the squares
securely to the frames with small tacks.
Give a thorough sizing on both sides with
biZc ll1eOO Wy oOahAi4so ilel4i ~ POOAO Va
glue in one pint of cold water over night
and adding four quarts of boiling water
the next morning, and when this is dry
give both the frames and netting two
coats of elastic or other waterproof var
nish
If well made-and a woman who can
use saw and hammer can easily do it
housed during the winter and given a
coat of varnish every spring, such screens
will Last u surprising length of time.
! For the upper half of the window a
frame is not desirable. Cut the netting
to fit the window casing outside the sash
and deep enough to reach two inches be-
low the center joining of the two sashes,
allowing fora double half inch wide hem
all around. When the latter has been
basted in, tack the sides and top to posi-
ton, leaving the bottom free, but taut,
and the upper sash can then be lowered to
any point desired.-New York Times.

payers in the city, as is often asserted.
This year they will pay taxes on $21,.

ment is largely increased by the New

against a Massachusetts, Ruling.

The officers of the Illinois Humane SO.
ciety detailed to prosecute the partici-
pators III the tame fox hunt at Fairland
legal procedure in Douglas county. The
action against the fox hunters was called
before Justice Lamb at Tuscola. Wit
nesses testified before jury that tame
fox had been chased by the defendants
and their hounds and had been caught
and torn to pieces by the latter. Attor-
ney A. w. Thomas Of Chicago, cited a
Massachusetts decision sustaining tho
position of the Humane society, which,
while not denying the right of men to
hunt and kill wild foxes, held that q
tame fox, cared for in captivity by man
from tho time it was only few days
old, is d domestic animal.
q. W. Wolverton, of Tuscola, attor-
ney for the defendants, then addressed
the jury. He troubled himself but little
about replying to arguments of the Chi
cagO lawyer but the fact that Massa-
chusetts decision had been cited Sc
verely wounded his local pride.
"Gentleman of the jury" ho said,
I'VE are residents Of the state of Illinois
in the glorious west-wild and woody, if
you will-where each man is an indie
pendent American citizen. What is
Massachusetts,? An alien common
wealth. 1t is Massachusetts. Why,
gentlemen of the jury, on Boston COM
mon today witches are burned at the
stake. and if man is found outside of
a church Sunday he is placed in lock-
up. What has Massachusetts to do with
us? We are American citizens and
we want to chase foxes and we chase
foxes.
After hearing which the twelve good
men and true of Tuscola rendered a ver-
dict for the defendants. The Humane
society had hoped to make this a test
case under the state laws, which pro-
vide that any person guilty of "tortur-
ing any animal" shall be subject TO q
fine of not more than 5000. The Mas
sachusetts decision was directly in point,
and although the justice before whom
the action was brought was manifestly
impartial, the jury, which was composed
largely of friends of the defendants
rendered a favorable decision on the
question of law impossible.-Chicago

According to an eye witness peculiar
incident happened one evening recently
in tho billiard room of q hotel at Tacoma,
Wash. The room was crowded and all
Of the billiard and pool tables were oc-
cupied but one Two gentlemen en-
tered the room attired in full evening
dress. Engaging n billiard table the
boy brought the balls, but the players,
to his utter astonishmcnt, told him they
did not need them. Removing their
topcoats. coats and hats, they took cues
and commenced mimic game.
They made the customary moves
around the table. studied apparent
plays, made the usual grimaces at
misplays. and regularly counted their
strings. A wondering crowd gathered
about them. They thought the men
were crazy. A funny part of it was
that they never smiled, took the guy
ing" of the crowd serenely and, when
the points were marked up, paid for the
game and unconcernedly walked out.
The solution of the mystery was that
the imitation game was played on a
ger.-Chicago Times.

Cnro for Cold I'm The mcnh.

About all that medicine has been able
to do for cold in the head is 10 give it
a Greek name, Coryza, which comes
from Two words, signitying "the head
and 'fo boil" This is not very much,
for in spite Of the Greek name most of
us call it by it's common name, "a cold
in the head. DR.. Weber thinks he has,
however. found a way to cut it short,
and it is simple, harmless one. His
treatment consists in touching the entire
mucous membrane of the nose from the
very beginning Of the cold with brush
dipped in glycerin.
The insertion Of the brush and the
application Of tho glyccrm are disa
grceablc, but there can bc no question.
Of the fact that cold is relieved in n
most rapid and effective manner. For
this reason we should try TO find some
way of avoiding the disagrecable sensa
tion caused by the passage Of the brush.
The best way would DO 10 uso absorbent

A Painful Operation.

A farmer shaving is one of the most
painful sights ever witnessed outside
downright butchery. For some reason
beyond the present depth of knowledge
the man who "beards" in the country
always has a beard like a new hair
brush, and he can never learn how to
sharpen razor He gets on the back
porch with his shaving utensils, and
after rubbing the razor over the strop in
an awkward fashion until whatever
trace of edge it may have had has been
destroyed he hangs up his broken glass,
and takes position alongside the
kitchen door, where the old lady will be
sure to jostle his arm when she goes ont
to empty her dishwatcr.
With brush that has but little handle
remaining he manages to stir up lot of
lather from soap that would raise bis
ter on the bottom of a boys foot, and
with this he coats his face till nothing
but his eyes and the back of his head are
visible. With his thumb dipped in
warm water he goes over the stubble
again with vigor that makes his flesh
creep, until he feels at all reasonable
precautions for comfort in the subse-
quent operations have been taken.
Taking the razor and looking at it sus>
piciously over the top of his glasses, he
runs his thumb along the edge, fails to
draw blood as he had hoped, and then
with sigh grabs himself by the nose,
shuts his eyes and gives a scrape that
makes his hair stand on end, as a bunch
of bristles seems to come ont by the roots.
But, once at it, terrible desperation
seems to nerve him, and, with his teeth
set, he goes right on with determine
tion to get the agony over as soon as
possible.
Howls of woe break from him now
and then as an expression that poisons
life steals over his face and stops there
till the last nerve has been pulled out
of the socket by that terrible razor and
the last bit of stubble has been laid
low.
Then, and only then, with a sigh OF
relief, he strikes mp hymn of thanks.
