4 soupIo Who Were Married When
They Had no Need to DO so.
A good story is being told of Penn
sytvania preacher. One Sunday after
noon couple called ct the parsonage
and in broken English inquired, SO the
reverend gentleman understood, if the
preacher man" lived there. Ana, on
being invited in they commenced pre-
pairing their toilet OF course it was
supposed they had come to be married
and every assistance was given by the
preacher and good wife in getting
ready for the ceremony. The bridal
veil and wreath were carefully ad-
iusted by the lady, and the gentleman
carefully combed his hair. Then their
nands were joined and the solema
words were spoken which bind
humans together IN wedloclI.'
The ceremony over, of course 1t was
supposed the newly married couple
would be in haste to depart. Bat it
was not so with them, and by theiI
actions they betrayed. that they ex-
pected something else before leaving.
Finally the reverend gentleman re-
marked, "Well, now you are married. I"
and tho answer came. "Oh, YEA, we
bin married last February, and NOW
want unser Sigture daken-" A feather
would have knocked down the preacher
upon the revelation. It was the
picture man" they were looking for,
and not Che preacher man" How
ever, there can now be no mistalEs
about their being married. and &hma

An Indian Adept and Fortune Teller.

Delhi rejoices in the possession of a
remarkable fortune teller, whose ex-
PLOTS, according to correspondent, are
causing much excitement, and it is
strange to have to record that the man
appears to have the power of second
sight or rather to be able to anticipate
the questions he is to be asked.
He is either very clever impostor
or a wonderful phenomenon, for he
places no restriction on the questions he
should be asked, so that from the most
important to the most trivial queries
are put to him and answered correctly
He discloses the past and reveals the
future with equal facility. A native
gentleman, well known and respected in
Delhi, visited the "Joshti" with the ex-
press object of testing his capabilities
for thought reading, and on being ad-
mitted into the "Joshti's" presence the
latter at once said:
81 know what you have come to ask.
You wish me to tell you the date and
hour of your BIRTH" and, mirabile dictu,
the "Joshti" furnished the gentleman
with every particular of his birth, Civ
ing the correct date and even specifying
the hour of the occurrence. To say the
least of it, the man does most extraor-
binary things.-London Globe.

Eating Alligator.

There is reason to believe that the
flesh Of young boiled alligator is bare
ly distnguishable from veal. 1t is prob
ably cleaner and more tender than much
of the meat of the animals that are
usually consumed as food ON the CONT
nent Or in the east end of London. 1
have never desired to taste the flesh of
alligators, cooked or uncooked. But in
India have seen the Sontals and other
casteless natives greedily devour the
flesh Of an alligator without waiting to
cook it The flesh was very pale in color,
and pubably was much superior to the
flesh q snakes and rats and such like
creatures which form the ordinary food
Of thepredatory Sontal when hunting in
his native woods 1t does not fall to his
lot very often to be able to circumvent
and shy and eat a large alligator. He
more frequently comes upon small ALI
gators and they go to swell the con-
tents q his cooking pots. If, however,
he is 50 lucky as to meet sahib who
has shot large alligator, say about 8
feet log, he eagerly falls upon the un-
wontei delicacy without waiting to
cook livery much as we read in books
of African adventure that the natives
devon the carcasses of the large game

not wSnt for their own followers

Live Pigeon Shooting.

Live pigeon shooting from traps will
never become generally popular i'll this
country. because it is doubtful if there
is any form of so called sport which
offers so little amusement for so large a
price. 1t is cheaper to keep saddle
horse and pair of trotters the year
round than to indulge in pigeon shoot
ing to any great extent. The well known
pigeon clubs in the vicinity of New
York sell birds to their members for 50
cents apiece, and besides this cost the
sportsmen must pay for his cartridges,
fee the men who manipulate the traps
and provide himself with refreshments.
If bets are made-and there are many
who seek to recOup themselves in this
way-the expense is likely to be much
greater. In England and ON the CONT
nent there are a great many men who are
said to make a good living out of pigeon
shooting by means of bets made ON the
matches in which they take part them
selves, but here such a means of exist
ence would be looked upon as preca-
rious to say the least.
The birds are supplied to the club
members at about their original cost,
but certain profit is made through
their natural increase as well as by the
sale Of the dead birds at $1.20 a dozen
and BY the returning of those pigeons
which escape unhurt to the barn from
which they came. The number of pi-
geons killed duringa brisk season at the
different clubs in the vicinity of New
York is very large. New York Sun.

Cerium Salts In Photography.

The Photographic properties of cerium
salts are beginning to be appreciated
and practically applied-that is, it is
found that light, under certain circum-
stances, rapidly reduces the persalts of
cerium to the Serious condition, and the
reaction may form the basis of interest
ing Photographic processes, it is thought.
Gelatinized or highly sized paper is SEN
sitized by a solution of ceric sulphate or
nitrate, which colors the paper strongly
yellow, and The paper being then exposed
under atrarsparent positive the exposed
parts become bleached by reduction to
The Serious condition. On now being
treated with organic matters which the
ceric compounds can oxidize into color
ing compounds a positive image is de-
veloped on the paper. Thus an acid
solution of rhenol gives a gray print,
aniline salts give green, alpha naphthyls-
mine blue, anido benzoic acid brown.
Cerium papers are more sensitive than
iron or manganese papers.-New York

DR.. Carnegie, the missionary, says LO-
bengula wished to enjoy some fruits of
civilization while rejecting many others,
He tolerated the presence of a few mis-
siOnaries because they brought him good
things from Europe that he coveted, but
he would do absolutely nothing to help
them. A word from him would have
filed their schools with children, but he
would not give it. The people believed
he was all powerful. 1t was he who
brought the rain and abundant harvests
Their teeming gardens and abundance
of beer and cattle exhibited the mighty
power Of the king and his mindfulness
of their wants An encouraging word
from him would have done wonders for
the missionaries, yet when they asked
him to send them children to teach he
would not lift finger to help them.
When Carnegie was about to go home,
he asked the king what he should tell
the white people about him, seeing that
he had been so Indifferent to the prog
ress Of missionary work The king re-
piled, "You will tell them what you
have seen"
1t was probably as well for Loben-
gula that he died when he did. His peo-
pie forced him into the war, believing
that he was invincible. His overwhelm-
ing defeat destroyed all confidence in
him as the great wonder worker of the
tribe, father who by his supernatural
power could always protect his people.
He could never have been king again

Pen Picture of MeIilla.

Upon an irregular square peninsula OF
ragged limestone rock, less than 10 acres
in area, the fort of Melilla stands From
a height of 60 feet to 100 feet and more
its grim, gray walls frown upon the dark
blue waters. 1t is a stronghold of APP
proved medieval and romancist type;
mighty walls, strengthened by many
high, round towers, draw bridges, port
cullis, profound gateways, dark case
ments and rock hewn 1abyrinthian pas
sages and dungeons. Within the devious
lines of the forts walls is built the true
Melilla, town of ups and downs, whose
streets are lanes barely wide enough to
let a panier laden donkey pass. With
out, on still more irregular and uneven
ground, an outer and inferior wall in
closes probably 20 acres of land given
over to kind of market place by the
waters edge and a few shanties and
places of business.
The outmost girdle consists of six de-
tached stonebuilt forts. Three are like
those at Spithead, and the others are
larger works of rectangular shape akin to
those on Chatham and Potsdown heights,
but of course without the big bitches.
The Spaniards have evidently bestowed
care upon all of them, as they are far SUI
perior to anything our military authori-
ties thought fit to erect at Suakin. At
this moment it is town crowded beyond
all English notions of dangerous over
packing. Telegraph.

PATENTS.
NOTICE TO INVENTORS.

There was never a time in the history OF
our country when the demand for inven-
tons and Improvements in the arts and sci
enceS generally was so great as now. The
cOnvenienceS of mankind in the factory
and workshop, the household, on the farm,
and in official life, require continual aces
sions to the appurtenances and implements
of each in order to save labor, time aud eX
pense. The pc. itical change in the admin
istratiOn of government does not affect the
progress of the American inventor, who be-
ing on the alert, and ready to perceive the
existing deficiencies, does not permit the at-
fairs of government to deter HIM from
quickly cOnceiving the remedy to overcome
existing discrepancies. Too great care can
not be exercised in choosing a competent
and skillful attorney to prepare and prose
cute an application for patent; Valuable
interests have been lost and destroyed In
innum1rable instances by the employment
of incompetent counsel. and especially is
this advice applicable to those who adopt
the IN o patent, no pay" system. Invent
ors who entrust their business TO this class
of attorneys do so at imminent risk, as the
breadth and strength of the patent is never
considered in view of quick endeavor TO
get an allowance and obtain the fee then
due. THE PRESS CLAIMS COMPANY,
