THE WOES OF BRIDES.
They Are Known Wherever They Appear or
in Whatever Garh.

in Whatever Garb.
There is no hope for her short of the
wilds of Africa. Such a thing as
bride travelling incognito is I'M
known. The railroad porters and
other officials are familiar with all the
varieties and are never deceived. 1t is
the same with hotel functionaries and
even the street gamins follow her car
riage for 4 chance to earn Il dime from
the generous groom. The attention
which she receives Immediately gives
the cue to those not so we'll versed in
the detection of brides, and they at
once begin to watch her every move
ment.
She enters n hotel dining-room and
there is a subdued buzz of: Here
comes the bride!" from every table.
People usually remember their man.
hers sufficiently to abstain from COM
ment while she is present, but the mo-
ment she leaves the room they begin to
criticize.
If she is dressed as bride should be
dressed you will hear them say: well,
if ever / am married I shall not put on
a matrimonial uniform to advertise the
fact" or ''Why is it that brides never
can act sensible?'
But if she has endeavored to dress
with as little ostentation as possible,
they are no better pleased and eXclaim:
Isn't she too dowdy for anything?"
On the whole, the brides pathway is
not all fiowery, SO do not neglect her.

UNCLE REUeEN.s ADVICE.

Suggestions for Young Men Contemplating
College Course.
Before entering upon q college course
Uncle Reuben would advise all young
men to carefully observe the following
suggestions:
Spend one season at natatorium, SO
that when yachting, and an accident
occurs, you can save yourself by swim
ming.
Have at least one hand-to-hand en-.
counter with a bear, or convert your
self into a sheaf of grain and pass
through thrashing machine in order
toharden yourself for a game Of foot
ball.
Take one seasons training as prize
fghter-and be prepared for hazing.
Be sure and have the mumps before
leaving home, and don't forget to be
vaccinated. 1t may save q great deal
of bother.
Be sure to learn to play some position
in q baseball nine, and have all your
fingers put out of joint while they are
young and tender.
Steal away with your fathers rank.
est pipe and learn to smoke. It's bet
ter to be sick at home with mother to
comfort you, and then the extras for
doctors bills will not be so large. Fa-
Their sometimes kicks about those ex-
tras.
It might be well for you to learn to
play the guitar, mandolin, violin, bass
viol, flute, cornet-in fact make a brass
band out of yourself before entering
college, so that you would have more
70 70 To cf,
You might take course in some
newspaper Office, as you may be called
upon to contribute to the college
monthly, and, of course, you could not
spare any time from your studies to
devote to society news, etc.
This is vast field, and might men,
ton many other things, but take this
for starter, and perhaps the other
things will suggest themselves to you

King of All Racing sIascots.

A peculiar instance of the hold which
superstitious belief has on all classes
of racing men is furnished in the Ion
lines of bli I'D beggars who line the en-
frances to each OF the big local rae
tracks. Many racing men hold that as
a gilt-edged mascot the blind man has
no peer on earth. Those among them
who would not give a cent to save their
own fathers from starvation cannot
leave the blind beggar empty-handed.
The beggars who have sufficient inter
est with the race track owners to get a
stand outside the gates reap handsome
returns, and iii one season can realize
enough to keep them in comfort through
the winter.-N. Y. World.
