.HUMORs OF BANN PUBLISHING.

Announcements Of Marriages That Have
been Unceremoniously Interrupted.
a few years ago a ludicrous, albeit
vexatious, incident occurred at a church
in Larkhall. a rustic couple, after hav.
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 a
hitch until the officiating clergyman ar
rived at that part where he asked, Evil
liam Wisher, wilt thou have this woman
to be thy welded wife?'' when the bride
Groom replied with some establishment
Mat 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, $50 no more from your
we'll 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 were compelled
to await the publication of the banns in
their proper names.
The precentor of country Parrish
church near Arbroath one Sunday an
nounced from his place that ''there was
solemn purpose of marriage between
Alexander Sphinx of Fishers loan and
Elspeth Hackett. of Burn wynd," when
the parish beadle, who was something
Of character, suddenly arose and I'M
tremendously interrupted the proceed
ings by exclaiming: THAT'S wrang!
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 middle aged agricul-
tural laborer' called upon the session
clerk of Alloa and asked him what the
charge was for publishing the ':cries"
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. IAN what dye charge when ye
taxi three Sundays to't?" was the rus
tics next query. ''Seven and SIX" an
swered the clerk, with an amused air.
"Aye, man." rejoined the querist, Il
see; the LANCER ye TAX to daet the cheap
er it gets. just cry ava till ye pay yer
sel!''
And he took his departure without more
ado.-London Tit-Bits, -.

Milford, Miss and the Dog.

A travellers tale of British phlegm i:
told in the following terms: A French
man was seated in smoking carriage
and had for his companion a s:milord
Anglais." Enter British miss-of
course with plaid and protruding teeth
and Skye terrier. She sat opposite the
Milford. He politely informed her that
she had by mistake got into a smoking
carriage. She made not the slightest an
swer, but sat grimly on.
The MILFORD threw away his cigar. much
to the establishment of the Frenchman,
who, according to the story, sat watch
ing what would happen. When they
reached the next station, the MILFORD said,
with the cold dignity of his race and
cast: MADAM can now change into a
nonsmoking carriage, If she does not, L
shall assume that she does not mind
smoke and shall light another cigar"
Madam said not a word, but stared in
front Of her. The train went on again,
and the MILFORD lighted up. When his
cigar was we'll alight and the train in
motion, the lady bent forward, took the
cigar out of the milord's mouth and
threw it out Of the window. The Milford
not only did not make any remark, but
he did not even seem disturbed. All he
did was to wait a minute, and then to
bend over the lady, seize the Skye ter
rier, which was lying in her lap, and
fling it out of the window.
OF this act the lady, to the complete
establishment Of the French spectator,
took no notice whatever. At the next
station both the lady and the MILFORD got
out, but without exchanging word in
regard to the cigar and dog incident,
while the Frenchman turned over in his
head an etude on the subject of Lies
Anglais taciturnes." -London Spectator.

A Metal That Hardens Steel.

The reason that the mixture of tunp-
stem with steel gives the latter so great q
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 it's combination with iron,
in the proportion of one atom of iron to
two of tungsten, are silver gray and very
brilliant. It 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 album
dance, was practically useless and with
out value. New York Times.
