HumOrs of Bann Publishing.

A few years ago ludicrous, albeit
vexatious, incident occurred at church
IN Larkhall. A rustic couple, after hay
ing had the banns published the pre-
scribed number of times, proceeded to
the church to be joined in holy wedlock.
The service was conducted without
hitch until the officiating clergyman ar
rived at that part where he asked, "Wil-
liam Wisher, wilt thou have this woman
to be thy welded wife?' when the bride
groom replied with some establishment
that his name was not William Wisher
The ceremony was of course suspend
ed, and on investigation being made as
to the cause of the mistake it transpired
that the bridegroom had written to the
sexton Of the church requesting him to
have the banns published, and concluded
his letter thus, 80 no more from your
well wisher and Mary Williams" The
sexton, supposing that William Wisher
was the name of the intending Benedict,
published the banns accordingly, and
the disappointed couple We're compelled
to await the publication of the banns in
their proper names.
The precentor OF u country parish
church near Arbroath one Sunday an
nounced from his place that "there was
a solemn purpose of marriage between
Alexander Sphinx of Fishers loan and
Elspeth Hackett Of Burn wynd," when
the parish beadle, who was something
of q character, suddenly arose and I'M
tremendously interrupted the proceed
ings by exclaimng: That's wrangl
That's wrang! It's no Sanders Sphinx o
Fishers loan that's gaun to marry Els
peth Hackett, but Lang Sanders Sphinx
O. Smiddy croft" The name of one Of
the parties had been wrongly stated in
the proclamation paper, and this was
the way the beadle took to correct it.
Some years ago Il middle aged agricul-
tural laborer called upon the session
clerk of Alloa and asked him what the
charge was for publishing the "cries"-i
e., banns of marriage-three times on
the same Sunday. "a pound" replied
the clerk Aye said the other, IAN
what dye TAX when ye TAX two Sun
days to do't?" Half a guinea" was the
reply. "An what dye charge when ye
talk three Sundays to'tY" was the rus
tics next query. "Seven and six" an
swered the clerk, with an amused air.
"Aye, man." rejoined the querist, II

A Metal That Hardens Steel.

The reason that the mixture Of tung-
stem with steel gives the latter so great a
degree of hardness that it readily
scratches glass and quartz seems to be
revealed by discovery recently made
in Germany. A definitely crystallized
compound of iron and tungsten has been
discovered, the crystals being so hard as
to scratch topaz. Tungsten is brittle
white metal, almost as heavy as gold.
The crystals, remarks The Paper Trade,
as formed by its combination with iron,
In the proportion of one atom of iron to
two of tungsten, are silv er gray and very
brilliant. 1t is thought that when tung-
stem is alleged with steel some of the
compound just described is formed in
the mass, thereby producing the remark
able increase in the hardness of the steel.
This is an interesting example of the
value that one metal may lend to the 9TH
er, for, until the discovery that it could
be used in hardening steel, tungsten, al
though it occurs in considerable abun-
dance, was practically useless and with
out value. --NeU York TINES.

 sider The Various Bills Introduced for
 the Repeal of the Federal Election
 Laws-EarIy Action May be Brought
 About the Result of the Committees
 Deliberations.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. l2-Acting Chair man Tucker has called meeting of the committee on election of presi- dent and vice-presidenta and representa- lives in congress for this morning to consider the various bills introduced for the repeal of the federal election laws. It is hoped by the leaders of the house that report will be made from the committee to the house at it's ses- son to-day, so that the consideration of the subject may be proceeded with ct the earliest possible date.
 The bill that meets with favor is the one introduced by Mir. Tucker, which is somewhat more comprehensive than the others. It provides for the repeal of the following sections, under the title "Election Franchise" of the Re- vised Statutes: 220a and 2205 to 2220 in- elusive, relating to the appointment,  Gualifica tion, power, duties and cSm- pensation of supervisors of elections; also sections 22al to to 223l inclusive, of the same title. relating to the appointment, qualification, power, duties and compensation of special deputies; also sections 5506, 5511 to 55l5 inclusive and 5520 10 5523 in- elusive of the title of Crimes" also the following portion of section GAS: "Or is commenced against any officer of the United States or other person on account of any act done under the pro- visions of title 26, the elective fran chise, or on account of any right, title CT authority claimed by any officer or other person under any of said pro- visions"
 To cover any clause that may possi- bly, arise. the bill also provides for the repeal of ',all other statutes and parts of statutes, relating in any manner to supervisors of election and special dep lty marshals-"

A Rattler Poisons a Bicycle.

Mir. Smith Lee, of Millen, Ga, tells the following story:
 ''I took ride my bicycle on m embank- ment near Augusta. The sun was blazing down. and after good long spin my attention was suddenly drawn to an object in.the distance. Coming nearer, 1 saw it was D large rattle snake, l could not return. and supposed that by this time the snake had discovered me. for it lay sullenly in my path. As 1 approached nearer il coiled tighter for battle. Quick as lightning rode rapidly over the rattler. His snakeship retounded as if it were made of rubber. I glanced hastily oyer my shoul- der and saw disjonted mass. I knew then that had killed the reptile. On arriving home put my safety in its usual place. Next morn ing on bringing ittbefore the light found the luSter of the tubing faded away, and in it's place there was a dark, dull tlue color ovcrspread- ing my once shining wheel. Since then the pneumatic tire has become decayed so that had to have 1t completely overhaulel. The cause of this complete dilapidation is that the snake in it's rage sank its poisonous fangs into the tire, thus causing the poison to spread all
 yer the cycle. On going back to the scene of combat few days later foun l tho dried bones of my antagonist and twenty-four large rattles. The snake measured exactly feet 6a inches.
