Erect of Lord DufYcriu,s speeob.

Lord Dufferin's speech on the peace OF
Europe, in Paris, has had remarkably
good effect throughout Europe. In
France itself tho words have been re-
ceived in excellent spirit, and public
sentiment has quite taken the sting from
the vulgar insults to the British embas-
sador which, by a few days, preceded
the address. The French governments
bold declaration of a policy of religious
federation also has been received as o
distinct mark of progress. Even some
OF the French Radicals show signs OF
having made the discovery that denun-
citation of all religion is not an evidence
of true democracy. Paris Letter.

THE MAN IN A HURRY.
How He May Make Himself n Decidedly
Unpleasant Person.


How He May Make Himself Decidedly
Unpleasant Person.
A stout and determined looking man
with white chin whiskers, gray hair
brushed severely back from his forehead
and gold spectacles on his prominent
nose entered restaurant in Fourteen
street at the 'rush" hour and strobe
rapidly to one of the tables at which
there was a vacant scat. He hung a
stout cane On the hatrack far up on the
wall near the end Of the table and was
1ivesting himself of his overcoat when
ho happened to notice that the waiter
was about leaving the table with orders
for tho other men.
"Hold on a minute, young feller. and
me some hash, with poached eggs on it,
and couple of sinkers and some coffee
in hurry"
Then he finished taking off his over
coat and tried to hang it ON what he
probably thought was peg of the hat
rack, but he hit on the end of his cane
instead, and the coat Topped down on

ing several hats off the rack, fell on the
head of man near the wall aud then
bounded on the table with force enough
to break several dishes and scatter coffee
and gravy about promiscuously. The
men at the table picked up their hats
and began to say unpleasant things, but
they were quickly awed to silence by

horn voice:
Its an internal outrage for a man ia
keep such a rack as that in his place. Il
was running this house, I'd see that
there'd bo decent arrangements for folks
who patronized it."
Then he slammed his cane back on
the rack, hung his overcoat ON a peg
and sat down to glare at the waiter, who
cleared away the broken dishes and
wiped up the spilled coffee and gravy
with fresh napkins. Two minutes after
the waiter had left the table the stout
man began to grumble.

Then the waiter came with the hash,
sinkers and coffee, and the stout man
made them disappear in way that
showed he was hustler" When his
jaws had ceased to work, he yelled for
his check and made a grab at his over
coat and cane. There was another show
er of hats from the rack, but the man
in hurry did not stop TO pick them up.
He evidently was too angry to say more.
The other men did not try to detain him,
but one of them said:
That man must have been born be-
fore daylight.
There were somo expressions of assent
to the remark, and then another man
rounded it off with the declaration,
"And he is trying the best he knows
how to mako other men wish he never
had been born at all. - New York

A GouD LITTLE INDIAN.

His Wicked Companions chucked Him
Out OF a window.
GUTHRIE, 0. T., April News reached
here today OF tragedy enacted at the
Baptist mission college at Wewaka, the
capital city OF the Seminole Indian ma
tion. There are large number OF In
dian boys and some white boys in the
institute ranging in age from 10 to 20.
For some time there has been
bitter feeling against an In
dian boy named Frank Short
by number of the students, which was
intensified during the past week by
Short resenting several misdeedF. On
Thursday night, after all had retired in
the dormitory on the third floor, three
boys stole to Shorts bed, picked him up
and threw him from the window to the
ground. The fall resulted in injuries
from which he finally died. The three
guilty boys escaped and have not been

EARLY Efrorts at Making cools Stoves.

Doubtless some form of cooking stove
has been used from very early period.
Previous to 1745 the stoves of all kinds
used in America were imported from
Holland or Germany, but in that year
a stove was invented by Benjamin
Franklin that was a great improvement
on all that had preceded it. In 1771 he
continued his inventions in this line and
produced stove for burning bitumi-
nous coal which consumed its own smoke
and another which, after being filled at
the top, could be inverted and made to
burn from the base. Between 1885 and
1895 several improvements in stoves,
ovens, heating and cooking apparatus
were made by Count Rumford, and as
early as 1898 his soapstone lined ranges
had been introduced in New York and
were coming gradually into general use.

IMPORTANT NOTIFICATION.

American Hcirosses Arc Warned to Look
Out For q PTInce with "A Record.
A young Belgian prince Of undoubted-
ly high birth and unquestioned impecu-
mostly has just abandoned Paris and a
swarm of mourning creditors, and, it is
said, we do not know how truly, is to set
sail for the United States. His proper
title is his serene highness the Prince de
Looz Cos Warren, and it may be of in
terest to American heiresses to learn that
this new importation is at present un-
married.
About three years ago he was engaged
to a young South American girl. Tho
wedding was to be sumptuous and to take
place in one of theswell churches of Par
is. AS is usual for stylish gatherings,
the crowds of lockers on nearly excluded
the personal friends of the contracting
couple. The bride hoated up the aisle,
and the priest prepared to begin the cere-
mony, when it was observed that one i'm.
portant adjunct was missing g-namely,
the bridegroom. He had quietly gone
off on q honeymoon tour all by himself
after a stormy discussion respecting
uuuuCeS Will JuO lduucA VI blio pIlu6s
The young lady tainted, the guests were
greatly amused, and the wedding party
went sadly home.
The odd part of the whole affair was
the fact that the couple having been
married by the mayor, and the absence
of religious ceremonial having no legal
significance, the forsaken bride had to
get divorce in due form from her re-
calcitrant spouse, who continued to
travel.
However, the French courts dissolved
the marriage some time ago, SO the vola-
tile gentleman is at liberty to try matri-
mony all over again. Whether that be
his design in seeking your hospitahle
shores time alone will reveal.-Paris

Some Curious Marriage Customs That Stili
Exist Among the Peasantry.
Some quaint customs still survive
among the peasantry of south Wales
at least in the remote villages. One of
the oldest is the bidding" When a
young man and woman are engaged, a
circular is printed-known as bid
ding lettor''-and distributed at market
and outside the chapels on Sunday, so
that all may know of the event. The
form 10 always the same and runs as fol-
lows:
AS VIC intend to enter the matrimonial state,
We are encouraged by our friends to make a
bidding on the occasion at the young mans fa-
theirs house (here follow the address and date
Of the entertainmcnt), when and where the fa-
vor of your good and agreeable company is
most humbly solicited, and whatever donation
you may be pleased to bestow on us will bo
thankfully received, warmly acknowledged
and cheerfully repaid whenever called for on
q similar occasion by your obedient servants,

All being rUady on tho day, a party
goes to fetch the bride to the bidding.
Sho hides and has to be sought for in all
directions, but being at last found is
escorted in triumph. Her procession is
met by that Of the bridegroom, and they
all repair to the church, where the we'd
ding ceremony takes place, after which
all return to the groom's house to make
merry and to count the gifts. These are
generally in money and vary from a
shilling up to half sovereign.
Each item is carefully entered in a
book by the bidding clerk" together
with the donors name, so that it may
be repaid when he or she marries. AS
all the money will probably not be
called in for many years-some not at
all, if the givers remain single-the
young couple receive tolerable start in
life. Oddly enough, the bridegroom is
expected to provide the kitchen clock
and table, the glass cupboard and the
kitchen dresser, also the bedstead. Each
of the young people is supposed to bring
half dozen chairs, the brides especial
contribution being the bedding, the
crockery ware, the parlor table and 9
