a Curious Marriage Custom.

The marriage customs in some parts
of Brittany are very curious. In Cor,
nuille the-village tailor is the important
parsonage to whom the candidate for
matrimony applies for n list of eligi-
BILE girls. Having selected one the
tailor at once proceeds to the maiden's
father. carrying a wand of broom. He
is dressed for the occasion in official
stockings. one of which is OF violet color
and the other red. and with him is the
sutton and his nearest relative. While
the family chiefs are making their ar
rangements the lovers retire to the
other end of the house and discourse
their own sweet music" If is neces-
sary that the engaged pair should put
an end themselves to the term of nego-
tiation. They approach, holding each
other by the hand, to the table where
their parents or relatives are seated,
when bread. wine and brandy are
brought in. The yonng man and the
maiden eat with the same knife and
fork and drink out of the same cup, and
the day for the union is then agreed

A Time For Everything.

An old French shoemaker who boosted
that nothing could frighten him was put
to the test by two young men. One of
them pretended to be dead, and the other,
going to the shoemaker, induced him to
sit up with the supposed corpse. The
shoemaker was in a hurry with some
work he had promised to have completed
the next morning, so he took his tools and
leather and began working beside the
corpse About 12 O'Clock at night cup
of black coffee was brought him to keep
him awake. He drank it and resumed
his work About O'Clock, the coffee hav-
ing exhilarated him, and forgetting that
he was in the presence of death, he COM
meneed singing lively tune, keeping
time with his hammer Suddenly the
corpse arose and exclaimed in hollow
voice, 'When . man is in the presence of
death, he should not sing" The shoe
maker started, then suddenly dealt the
corpse blow on the head with his ham
mer, saying, "When a mans corpse, he
should never speak. Washington Post

TOSSED 81 A BULL.
A New York Farmer Nearly Killed-The
Bull VIII Be Shot.

New York, November 29.-John Belts
of Hackensack, had a painful expert
ence ON Tuesday that may result in
death. Belts is farmer and owns,
among other blooded stock, a bull. The
disposition of the animal has been vici-
Gus, and few dared approach near the
animal except when it was tied. Mr..
Belts was one of the few who were able
TO go near him. On Tuesday he went to
the boxsstall..where the bull was confined
and opened the door. The bull is
usually tied with rope, but this had
become loosened, and when Mr.. Belts
stepped into the stall the animal rushed
at him, Mr.. Belts jumped back and
slammed the door shut 1t did not fas-
ten, however, and the animal followed
him out. Mr.. Belts started to run. The
bull followed and caught him. He
threw the man into the air, but fortu-
nately the animals horns had been cut
OFT. When Mr.. Belts strucks.the ground
the bull was close upon him and paved
him with his sharp paws. Belts became
unconscious and would have been killed
had not farm hand attracted by the
believing of the bull, rushed into the
farmyard with a pitchfork. With this
he kept the bull back until other help
arrived with forks and clubs. The bull
was driven back to the barn and ply
stefan summoned to attend to Mr.. Belts.
The medical examination showed that
Mr.. Betts's arm had been broken in two
places and the flesh ripped from the
was torn open and the left leg was strip
ped of flesh from the knee to the foot
One of the brute's horns caught Belts
in the face and ripped the flesh open
from the right eye to the lower jaw
bone. Since the encounter with Mr..
Belts the bull has been in frenzied
state and will be shot.

COLOR PHOTOGRAPHY.
The Dream Of Years May Finally Be Clio
riously Realized.

The Dream Of Years May Finally Be Clio
riously Realized.
We have constantly deplored the want
Of reliable information regarding Lipp-
mann's process Of obtaining color photo
graphs and the recent notifications and
improvements of Valenta, Lumiere and
others. The process has been given and
the results shown before the recent con-
gress of the Photographic society of Great
Britain. Mr., Warneke describes the proc
ess as follows;
Two years ago Mr,A ippmann succeed
ed in producing an image Of the solar
spectrum in it's true colors. This was done
by gelatino- bromide plate, SO weak in
its composition as to be almost transpar-
emit. The sensitiveness of the plate was
increased by immersion in bath of sill
yer nitrate and drying The plate was in
serted in th6eamera, glass side toward tbs
lens, and the film in contact with mer-
curry. The projected rays Of light were
thus met by the rays reflected from the
mercury, and the phenomena of interfer-
ence-upon which the whole process is
based--was produced.
Six examples were shown from nature,
and one from q chrome Autograph, reflect
ed on screen by means of beam of cleo
trio light, and caused considerable sensa-
ton. Although the red was defective,
the colors were, without doubt, very sim
liar to the natural ones.
Taken as a discovery, this is one of the
most important of the nineteenth century,
but there must be many improvements
made before it can be of any practical
utility. The exposure, although now re-
duced to four hours, is so long as to make
it impossible to photograph but few sub
jects. Then, again, if we desire to hang
such pictures in our room, it would be
necessary to have special lighting ar
rangement to see them by.
Now that the process has been made
public, improvements should follow rapid
~, and it is not utterly impossible that
the wild dream of the photographer, since
the days Of Niepce, will be realized, and
we shall be able to photograph, with all
the transcendent beauties Of color effect,
the glorious sunset, the rainbow and hars
monious nature herself. Photographic
