MARRIED ANOTHER MAN.
Advertisement for Wife Does Not Result
as Intended.

An advertisement appeared in the
London Advertiser q short time ago
from man residing at Temby Bay,
named Ibbotson, in which he spoke OF
his desire to secure Christian woman
rs a wife. Among those who read the
advertisement was a widow residing at
Perth, mother oftwo children, who an
swerel it.
The gentleman wrote reply, in
which he described his house and
worldly goods and explained that he
desired some one to take charge of his
household.
The widow, after some correspon-
dencc, purchased ticket to go to her
prospective husband. She did not find
things quite as she expected
The household consisted of the father
and uine children, the youngest Of
whoa was seven years of age. The
cliI,!ren's mother had died insane, and
the charming widow was loath to COM
pl"tc the transaction which she had be-
gu" 81 hravel,. She was stopping at Hill
ton, n | the widower went thither to
ingrr'.ew her, but the lady would not
be seen ut all
a 'onng man of Temby Bay heard of
IL" ady being there, ard that she had
two nttle children, five aud eight years
old. He had nice little talk with her
on Sunday, proposed marriage with her
Monday, WAS accepted and the wedding
took place Tuesday.
The widow says she has not made a
is'ake, even if it was a hastv action,
for tie young man in question is sober,
counts Mr.. Ibbotson was on his way to
meet another lady who had taken pre-.
h:.i'ary steps toward matrimony in re-
sponse to the advertisement.

Florida Moss.

The valuable moss of Florida,
Nhounds in the hummocks and back
lands. 1t is gathered chiefly by ne
Er"cs. In its natural state it hangs in
iaNtonns from the limbs of trees in
rinds from one to five feet in length.
The moss is gathered by pulling it
from the trees with long poles, or by
cutting the trees down and then remov.
inS it, The moss is buried in the earth
for about a month, after which it is dug
up and dried and shaken and sold to
the local moss dealers for one dollar per
one hundred pounds. 1t is then run
through "a machine called a gin, which
l. nothing more than cylinder COW
cred with three-inch spikes revolving
between roll of similar stationary
S'i!e'. The action of these spikes is
TO knock out some OF the dirt and
trash. but it does not complete the
job. 1t is then shaken over a rack
formed of parallel bars, after which it
i, pre- sed into bales of about two
hundred pounds each. Some of tho
moss mills do all of this work by hand,
aAc"pt the ginning. The moss, after
having gone through the above process,
brings from two dollars and fifty cents
to three dollars per hundred pounds.
Ii. instead of allowing it to remain in
IL" earth for one month, it is left there
90 three months, the entire bark of the
moss is pulled off and there remains
j. ,,,;!iful black fiber almost exactly like
h.if. The hair moss brings from five
il seven dollars per hundred pounds.
the treatment of this moss is a good
Gr'l for invention. Might not ma
