WEDDING RECEPTIONS.

white Weddings and the Old Fash
ioned wedding Cake Revived.
white weddings are now quite in
vogue, and wedding reception" follows
the ceremony, though IL may not be SC
styled in the notes of invitation. An Eng
lish fad which is considered somewhat
smarter than a reception only, when q
wedding takes place early in the day, is q
luncheon preceding the reception Nat
urally this entails considerable trouble and
expense. The wedding reception appeals
to the majority of people on account OF its
costing far less and the opportunity il
offers Of inviting double the number OF
guests, but even at wedding receptions the
refreshments are of a more extensive order
than Mt afternoon ''at homes" for instance
a variety of smart sweets are given in ad
dition to the regulation afternoon tea
menu, and champagne or punch, and oi
course wedding cake 1t may not be amiss
10 add that by the latter is meant the huge
old fashioned wedding cake, which is again
coming in favor.
When luncheon is given the guests re
main but short time in the drawing room
just a glance round at the presents, and
then in to luncheon, the bride and bride
groom leading the way, followed by the
bridesmaids, with the groomsmen, nearest
relatives, principal guests and less impor-
tant ones. But luncheon is not long af
fair. no speechmaking, snd quick return
to the drawing room. After short stay
and ''goodby" to the bride and bride
groom-who leave by an early train-manS
of the guests take their departure; other,
remain during tie whole Of the reception
up to 5:4.
Invitations are is led in the names OF
both parents, Mr.. and Mrs. A, or in the
name of the one parent living, father oil
mother, as the case may be. When, how
ever, bride has no parents and resides
with a sister, the invitations should b.
issued in her sisters name. When she re
sides with brother and sister, both names
should be on the note of invitation. The
nearest relative, whether father, mother
brother or uncle, should give the bride
away. The one who is to receive the guests
whether mother or sister, should leave the
church Immediately after the bride and
bridegroom to be in readiness to welcome
them ON their arrival, the bride and bride
groom also taking their part in receiving
the guests. There is Ro precedence as re-
CARDS leaving the church; the rule is TO get
away as quickly as possible.

InsensibiIity to Pain without Entire Los
Of Consciousness.
\ French physician who has given mucl
attention to the subject of administering
chloroGorm and ether is quoted as stating
first, that any one who is anRsthetized by
chloroform or by ether risks his life, and
second that the risk is five times less witt
ether than with chlorcform. At the sam,
time he found many disadvantages con
nected with the use of ether alone, and il
all operations of long duration be gives o.
subeutaneous injection of one-sixth to one
third Of a grain of morphine. He finds
that this calns the patient notably dimin
ishes the quantity of ether necessary, and
sometimes produces, after n few whiffs OF
ether, remarkable condition of analgesia
or insensibility to pain, without loss of con
sciousnesS.
The latter condition is undoubtedly the
ideal an@sthetiC state. the injection il.
given to the patient in quiet room, anc
he is encouraged To close his eyes and tC
sleep, In about twenty minutes he is car

algesia with ether and one case witt

MAINE FOOTBALL.
Bowdoin Wiped Up the Earth"
with the CoIbys.
Score Stood AZ to 4, but the Game
Was Very Exciting.


BRUNSWICK, Oct. Especial. The
first football game of the season on the
home grounds was played this afternoon,
and the Bowdoin boys merrily wiped up the
ground with the Colby athletes to the tune
of ~ to 4. Last year Bowdoin beat Colby
56 to o and 22 to 4, and there was no doubt
today as to the result of the game, the only
question being as to the size of the score.
Though the Bowdoin team is regarded as
considerably weaker that last year it was
not thought by either side that Colby would
be able to score. This she did. however,
two minutes after the game opened on a
very long run by Capt. Robinson, who clev-
erly lodged the Bow doin right end and full
back. II was bad .'huke," to speak in
football pariance, and the Colby men found
no such opportunity given them again dur
ing the game. Once they pushed the ball
quite near the goal, but their opponents
held them we'll and they could not score
The Bowdoin men played a quicker,
stronger game at all points and never
failed to gain around Colbys end or
through her center. Its rush line men,
especially Dewey, Kimball and Stevens,
got in some effective work. Its line looked
as if it woald average little more in
weight than Colby. Its interference was
far better than that of Colby, the latter
team gaining most of its ground, when ii
gained at all, by the quick lodgings of its
backs. 49,. ..sss
Bowdoin felt keenly the loss. of Capt.
Fairbanks, whose injured hand kept him
from playing. The Colby captain hurt his
thumb during the game and dropped out,
bis place at full being well taken by Jor-
dan, who put up the star game for bis
team. The halfback work OF Stubbs and
Mitchell was the feature of the game, their
long runs, backed by good blocking, being
pretty to see. Sykes at quarter, acting as
captain, and Quinby at full were active in
every play and did their work finely.
The teams lined up as follows:
