Wedding Etiquette.

From the Philadelphia Times
A wedding breakfast is the correct form
Of entertaining nowadays. This is in every
way as formal as a dinner. though the la
dies do not remove their bonnets. BOuiilon,
salads, birds, oysters and other hot and
cold dishes are served, together with cham
payne and other wines. When the health
of the bride and groom is proposed the
groom responds. and in turn proposes that
of the bridesmaids, the best man returning
thanks for them. Breakfasts en- buffet are
quite as much in vogue as the sit-down
functions, and many more guests may in
this way be served comfortably and far
more quickly.
Wedding presents are sent any time
within two months of the wedding. and are
arranged artistically for exhibition If the
brides family desire them To be shown.
thanks TO each donor.
After giving about an hour AMI an half
to her guests the bri returns to change
her dress. Upon coming down stairs In
travelling attire she Is met by the groom
and after a farewell TO the family they
drive off in a shower Of rice, old slippers
and good wishes. During the reception the
guests offer their k.nl words. usually wish
ing the bride much happiness and cOngrat-
ulatins the groom. Wedding cake is
packed neatly in pretty boxes, each guest
ding favors-anOther English idel-are of
white ribbon and artificial flowers, and are
used to decorate the horses ears and the
servants coats.
No reply to 4 wedding invitation IS re-
qured, but al invited guests must call
upon the young couple upon their return
from the welding journey.

LITTLE DIVING BOYS.
A Pretty Scene in the Harbor of St.
Thomas.

Thomas.
From st. Nicholas.
We were nearing st. Thomas; all the pas
sengers were on deck looking with interest
at the pretty little city. with the hills at its
back, and a fringe of palm trees at its feet
When within short distance of the shore
the captain signaled, down plunged the an
Choir, and before the water had ceased from
troubling We were surrounded by a fleet
First came the fine longboat Of the health
officer. with its gaudily striped awning, flag
flying at the stern, and half a dozen dusky
oarsmen, who rowed with great style and
precision. Then there were the passenger
boats, the stern seats neatly cushioned, to
which fact the owner called your attention
while inviting your patronage. One Of these
men rejoiced in the possession OF a tall hat
which raised him far above his fellows,
while he was further distinguished by the
name Champagne Charlie"
But, bark! bark! the dogs do bark-the
rag-tag and bobtail are putting out to sea
Boys, boys. boys and bOys-all ready and
eager for a dive,
Some one started the exhibition by throw
ing dime overheard. Instantly there were
dozen pair of heels in the air-one splash
and a train of shining bubbles rising to the
surface showed us that the little divers were
on their way down in search Of fortune. The
water was so clear We could see the coin
slowly sinking. and see the little brown
body dart after and seize it.
On coming to the surface the one who
made the capture would display the coin in
his hand and then shrewdly pop it into his
mouth. The cheeks of the lucky boys were
round and hard as apples 1t was SO pretty
to see the ease and grace with which they
moved through the water; and they en-
treated for more so pleasantly with eyes
glistening and teeth shining. that the rain
Of silver and copper continued TO fall over
the rail until the ships stock of small
change was depleted.

reason why the average Congressman does

The name of Donohoe's Magazine, founded by
Mr. Patrick Donohoe OF Boston in 1879, is known
and respected throughout the English-speaking
world.
Within the past year It has achieved almost
marvellous success, and stands today peerless
In Its field, doing splendid work for greater re-
hgious tolerance and better economic conditions.
This success has been under the direction
OF Its new publisher, Hon. Daniel p. Toomey, who,
in addition, is at the head of one of Boston s
book publishing companies and is a representative
from that city in the legislature of Massachu-
sets.
Mr.. Toomey writes as follows in a candid and

In writing story, girls, don't say
your heroine has coral lips That is
cheap And don t put any Swiss clocks
on the mantel, and don't have the fire
burning low in the crate, with an occa-
sional coal falling to break the oppress-
i've silence of the room. It is also bad
taste to have tho heroine wear white
morning dresses. 1t makes more wash,
and she can't do homework so well.
Neither should she be tall and thin, with
limp. short skirts Tapping her heels
and small faded shawl pinned tightly
around her spare shoulders. If you can Z
think of any other heroine to describe
picture your mother, She is probably
the only heroine in your family any

that if the heroine was as she Is de-
scribed the people would run from her

ROBBED BY THEIR GUESTS.

Hotel Keepers Complain of tho Continual
Theft OF Small Articles.
It is fact we'll known to every hotel
and restaurant keeper in the city that
people will steal. Why they resort to
peculation is a mystery, but far great
er mystery seems to be wrapped up in
the class of articles that are stolen.
Guests who stop at first class hotels
and pay their bills In departing have
been known scores Of times to take with
them toilet soap and towels from their
rooms Blankets, sheets, clocks and or
naments likewise disappear with the
departing transients.
Nor does the peoulation stop at thas.
Cheap plated trays, cutlery, forks and
spoons plainly marked with the names
of the hotels are stolen again and again.
This seems strange, for If the articles
are used by the thief they bear, of
course, the indelible evidence Of the
guilt of the peculators-
Sometimes the stolen articles are re-
covered, and sometimes they ars not
Only recently the proprietor of a local
hotel advertised repeatedly and offered
a large reward for the return of valu-
able clock of large size, which had been
taken from the hotel and in a manner
never discovered. All the advertising
was in vain.
The late John Hoey once succeeded
by shrewdly worded letter in recover
ing valuable rug which well known
New York woman had taken with her.
AS soon as its absence was noted from
the Hollywood Mr.. Hoey caused to be
written to the woman letter which
read Substantially as follows;
DEAR MADAM - In packing your
clothing your maid by mistake included
the Turkish rug which was In your
room. Kindly have it returned.
The woman had no maid, which fact
was well known to herself and TO Mr..
Hoey. The assumption that the theft
was not hers accorded her an opportuni-
ty to return the stolen article, which
she did at the earliest possible moment,

There are certainly three instances on
record of siege or battle having been
decided by single shot. First in order
of Importance was the shot-balieved to
have been fired by one of his own men
which killed Charles XII in the
trenches of the fortress of Friedrichstein,
which Immediately led to the raising of
the second siege Of Friedrichshall This
is perhaps the most important muskeS
shot ever fired in the history of the
world. Next comes the discharge of the
mortar fired by Lord Coehrane during
the defense of Port Trinidad in 1908,
This shot foiled French surprise and
saved the fortress. Lastly, there was
the single discharge Of grapeshot which
saved the fortress and town of Hadding-
ton in 1913 Tho French invaders had
actually forced their way into the out
works of the castle whom the one well
directed shot created such havoc in their
densely packed ranks that there ensued
an Immediate panic, which ended in
fight. Popular Journal.

Its Results as Compared with Those
Through the Use of Melting Ice.
The superiority of refrigeration OBJ
tanned by mechanical processes. as COM
pared with that obtained by melting ice
appears In the facts that by IL more in
tense cold may be secured; that any de-
sired degree Of cold may be maintained
with perfect uniformity; that drier
atmosphere is secured In the refrigerat-
Ing box or room; that the inconvenience
Of frequently replenishing the ice bun
kers and the slop and dirt attendant upon
this work are avoided; that the annoy
ing uncertainty Of ice supply and varia-
bility in its price are avoided; that
space in the rooms or boxes to be cooled
is economical by substitution of coil
of pipe ON walls of ceiling for the bulky
ice bunker, and that this refrigeration
can be employed for many purposes and
places where ice cannot be used at all.
Added 60 all this is the fact, of para
mount Importance, that where much
refrigeration is required the cost of a
machine and its operation Is far less
than the cost Of ice sufficient to do an
equal amount Of work
These advantages have proved so great
in practice that every brewery, packing
house, cold storage warehouse or other
establishment requiring a large amount
of refrigeration contains its individual
refrigerating plant Where consumption
amounts to ten tons or more Of ice daily
the question of economy will be almost
invariably decided in favor of the ma

Have you any idea of the enormous
pressure sustained by submarine divers
while plying their dangerous vacations?
We will take 100 feet as the average
dep that which such tradesmen work and
use that as basis of calculation. At a
depth of 100 feet, which does not seem
excessive when we consider the fact that
there are spots In the oceans which are
approximately five miles deep the pres
sure on the divers body is Al pounds
for each square inch of surface, Let us
see what this means. The average man
Of 1856 pounds has body of sufficient
proportions to present 10 square feet of
surface to the pressure of the waters
This means that the ordinary diver must
work in q place where his body is sub
jected TO pressure Of 80 tons Nor is
this all. For every 81 IA inches of depth
descended below the 100 foot line which
we have adopted as a basis Of calcula-
tion there must be added one pound
pressure to each square inch Of the d.
yer's bodily surface. Persons who think
that divers regularly descend to the bot
tom of the oceans In the deepest places
will probably be surprised to learn that
the greatest depth TO which man has as
yet attained Is only $40 feet. SIT. Louis

WHERE THE CATTLE CONE TO DRINK.

At evening, where the cattle come TO drink,
Cool are the long marsh grasses, dewy cool
The alder thickets and the shallow pool,
And the brown clay about the trodden brink.
The Densive afterthoughts of shutdown sink
Over the patient acres given TO peace.
The homely cries and farmstead noises cease,
And the worn day relaxes, link by link.
A lesson that the open heart may read
Breathes In this mild benignity of air,
These dear. familiar savors Of the soil
A lesson of the calm of humble creed,
The simple dignity of common toll
And the plain wisdom of unspoken prayer.
Charles G.. d. Roberts.
