Getting Engaged in Germany.

When a maiden is betrothed in
Germany she is called bride" by
her sweetheart, who addresses her
thus until it becomes time to call
her "wife." Immediately upon be-
trothal the lovers exchange rings,
which, if the course of true love
runs smooth, are to be worn ever
after until death parts them. The
woman wears her betrothal ring
on the third finger of her left hand
until she is married, and then it is
transferred to the third finger of
her right hand. The husband con-
tinues to wear the ring, just as
the wife wore hers when she was
"bride," so that one can easily tell
at glance if a man be or be
not mortgaged as to his affections.
A young German matron on be-
ing told of the careless American
custom of allowing the man to go
unfettered, exclaimed:
"Oh, how dreadful! How unjust
to the young wives. How could 1
expose my Wilhelm-so young
only 25-to the temptations Of the
world if he we're not to wear a mar
riage ring. The girls would make
love to him. I would not live in
America for the world.-St. Louis

A Chance for Investors.

The Government of India is Of
fering a number valuable prizes for
the best designs or models of a
cart suitable for military require
ments, to wit: a mule cart for the
transport use of the British army
in India. The prizes offered are
FIVE in number, and are respectively
$3.50, $500, $1875, $3.50, $625, or
$4,000 in all. Industries says:
The award will be entrusted to a
jury consisting of three technical
experts. The question of cost be-
ing of the highest Importance, the
designs should give the estimated
price in pounds sterling or rupies
of single cart delivered free on
board in London or at Bombay,
Calcutta, or Allahabad. AS a guar
antee of good faith on the part of
the competitor as regards the esti-
mated cost, he will, RECOMMENDED
for a premium, receive in the first
instance, only one half of such pre-
MUM Immediately on its award.
He will, however, only receive the
the same proportion of the other
half as represent the proportion by
which he may have underestimated
the actual cost of the cart. It is
left to the jury to ascertain by ten
der in the open market, or by such
other means as it considers suita-
BILE, the cost of the cart to Govern
ment, and to make its award accor-
dingly. The object desired to be
attained by this competition is the
production of a design, accompan-
led in all cases by a working mod
ell, for military transport cart
adapted to conditions which make
the use of interchangeable metal
parts for all important portions of
the cart asolutely indispensable.
The design and the models should
reach the Secretary to the Gov
ernment of India, Military Depart
ment, Calcutta, not later than June
30. 1S93.-Scientific Press.

AS an illustration of the peculiar
character of some of the claims
which are presented for the consid-
Grafton of Congress, the following
is an extract from one of the print
ed reports on the claim of Mary

the war:

London Pickpockets.

"There are 100000 pickpocket {
in London, and each one of them
knows an american almost the mo.
ment he sees him." said Barret,
Seaton, a police sergeant attached
to the famous Scotland Yard de-
tective headquarters, when at the
Morton House the other day. He
is travelling for pleasure on a leave
of absence, visiting places of inter
est with his friend, Captain John
c. Fitzpatrick of the Chicago po-
lice department.
Call the most expert continental
pickpockets have been trained in
London. Boys are picked up in
the streets after they have had an
opportunity to became world-hard-
ened and are trained by Fagins. The
novices, besides being instructed in
the art of thieving, are taught to
recognize at sight the nationalties
of the people who flock to London.
They can spot an America, es-
pecially, the moment they see him.
A traveller from this side of the
water is generally recognized by the
good cut of his clothes, the manner
of carrying jewelry and the general
energetic appearance or manner.

German and Austrian Cooks.

Thre are probably one hundred
and fifty schools for cooking in
Germany and Austria, the best of
which are at Vienna, Berlin and
Leipsic. A maa whe wishes to be-
come chef must begin at the very
bottom of the ladder-at peeling
potatoes-and work up round by
round to the top. A course of
schooling as strict as that of any
polytechnic school in this country
must be followed for four years be-
fore the student can get a diploma.
Every year competitive exhibitions
are given in which as many as two
hundred chefs take part. The chef
who was employed at the White
House by Grover Cleveland, and
who, it is rumored, may be again,
has a gold medal which was pre-
sented to him by the Empress Erred
erick for excellence in cooking,
silver medal given by the King of
Saxony, a diploma from the Queen
of Austria and numerous other
marks of appreciation and honor
won in competitive contests in
cooking. It is not to be wondered
at that European cooks command
extraordinary salaries in this coun.
try.-New York World.

Astonished the Britlshers.

Anent the recent Qeatn OF Fnll-
lips Brooks, the great Boston
divine, an amusing story is told
of the European trip of DR., Nc
Vickar, of Philadelphia, Phillips
Brooks and Mr.. Robinson the bull
der of Boston's Trinity Church.
Robinson Stands 6 feet 2 inches in
his stockings, DR.. McVickar meas
ured 6 feet 4 inches and Brooks
exceeds 6 feet in height. Robinson
suggested that in order to avoid
comment the three tall men avoid
being seen together. They humor-
ously called themselves Brown,
Jones and Robinson" Arriving in
England, they went direct to Leeds,
where they learned that lecturer
would address the working classes
on "America and Americans"
Anxious to hear what English
men thought of the great Republic,
they went to the hall. They entered
separately and took seats as far
apart as possible. The lecturer,
after some uninteresting remarks,
said that Americans. were, as rule,
short, and seldom ever rose to the
height of 5 feet 10 inches. In fact,
they were race of pygmies. He
did not know to what cause he
could attribute this fact, but he
wished he could present examples.
Phillips Brooks rose to his feet and
stretched his 6-foot frame to the
uttermost as he said: II am an
American, and am, as you see,
about 6 feet in height. / do not ex-
ceed the average American in stat
ure or in weight, though | turn the
scales at 200 pounds, and sincere
ly hope that if there be other rep
resentatives of my country present
he will vouch for the truthfulness
of my remarks"
After moments interval Mr..
Robinson rose and in a stentorian
voice cried; II am from America,
in which country my diminutive
height-six feet two-is the sub
ject of no remark, as l am just a
little below the average. If there
be any other American here, l
hope he will coroborate my testi-
mony." The house was in a jolly
humor. Waiting until the excite
ment could abate in some degree
and the poor lecturer regain con-
troll of his shattered nerves, DR..
McVickar slowly drew his majestic
form to his full height and ex-
claimed, II am an" But he
got no further. The audience
roared. The lecturer ran down the
aisle into the street and the people
crowded about the three giants.

How Tombstone Came by Its Name.

Richard Schiefnin of Los Angles
was at the Palmer yesterday and
attracted considerable attention by
his peculiar Western attire and long
flowing hair. Mr.. Schieffiin was
famous few years ago as the dis
coverer of Tombstone in Arizona.
He was a poor prospector on the
Arizona desert in search of gold,
which he believed was located in
the southern part of the Territory.
After getting GRUB stake" at a
store in Yuma he started out alone
acrost the arid waste lying west of
Yuma. As he left the town he was
told that instead of finding gold he
would find his tombstone. For
weeks the daring prospector strug-
gled on until his provisions were
nearly exhausted. One night while
camping beside a small dry stream
he was obliged to dig in the sand
of the river bed to get water, and
while thus employed unearthed
several nuggets of gold. The
next day he staked his claim and
started back to Yuma, where he re-
ported that he had found his tomb
stone, but that it was lined with
golden nuggets. From this the pres
ent city of Tombstone sprung, and
to-day Dick" Schiefflin is one Of the
wealthiest men in Los Angeles

that it would hardly be policy to send
out any more until the ability to move
them from Sayre was manifested.
