A Bridal Bouquet.

A German horticultural journal is
responsible for this story about bridal
bouquet: A certain schoolteacher in
the town of Konitz had ordered bou-
quet for his wedding day, stipulating
that it should not cost more than
marks (sD, but not designating what
kind of flowers should be selected. 1t
was in the autumn, when hothouse
flowers were few and dear, so the for
ist composed it of white dahlias, but
the bride and her family declaring that
these flowers were unfit for the purpose
the schoolteacher returned the bouquet
to its maker and refused to pay for it.
The florist then sued him, but the
position of the schoolmaster was sus-
tanned in court, in accordance with the
testimony of experts in matters of taste
whom he had called in and who echoed
the opinion of the bride.
A similar result followed upon an
appeal to a higher court, despite the
testimony of experts now summoned by
the florist, and the florist was ordered
to pay the costs of the suit, amounting
to 500 marks.

When a consignment of rum, which

When a consignment of rum, which
means anything from champagne to
brandy, is landed from foreign vessel,
the government orders it to be sent to
the custom house cellar. IF no owner
appears to claim it, it is kept for a year
and then is sold at auction to pay the
duties and warehousing charges.
If the owner appears, he can pay the
duties and withdraw his liquor for i'm
mediate consumption, or he can give
bonds for the duties and keep his stock
stored in the government vaults until
he wishes to withdraw it. The govern
ment charges him storages according to
the capacity of packages and allows
him to take it away by degrees as he
needs it, paying duty only on the
amount withdrawn.
Very often an importation of wine
and spirits may change hands several
times while it lies in bond deep under
the granite dome. In such cases it is
sold in bond, and the owner, instead of
the importer, pays the duties and makes
the final entry of the merchandise.

CeylOn Tea.

IT appears that some Of the Ceylon
tea planters are making an organized
attempt to obtain a sale for their tea
seed in the London market. a parcel
of seven bags of that article was offered
at the drug sales recently, but no one
seemed to know what to do with it, and
although the broker declared his belief
that the drug was "a favorite medi-
cine in China" the audience remained
unmoved. Nevertheless the teaseed
might have been worth purchasing for
the sake of the bland oil which it con-
tains, to the extent of about 35 per cent
by weight, and which resembles olive
oil in color and somewhat in taste. The
seeds are about the size of a cherry
stone, subglobular in shape and of a
deep brown color. The oil would be
useful for burning or lubrlcating. -

Down With the IordS,.

A New York newspaper man writing
from London says: Havelock Wilson,
NJ. P, leader of the Seamen's Firemen's
union, tells me that he has been testing
public sentiment on the question of the
house of lords at meetings which he ad-
dressed recently through the country.
Contrary TO the feeling in London, he
declares that no topic appeals so strong
ly TO workingmen in the country as the
obstruction of the aristocracy. Every
time he advocated the dissolution Of the
house Of lords the suggestion was re-
ceived with wild enthusiasm. Down
with the lords" would be the best cleo
ton cry of the next campaign, in bis
opinion.

UNCLE SANS WINE CELLAR.

He Doesn't Drink, but III Has Lots of Rare
Wines on Hand.
A ghOstly silence pervades the place.
1t Is like the silence of the tomb. The
outside world seems already centuries
away. The air is cool and soothing,
and three flaring gas jets cast an intri-
cate combination of shadows upon the
massive masonry of the arches, says a
writer in the Boston Herald, in describ-
ing the wine vaults under the Boston
custom house.
After hundreds of years, when Bos-
ton is only hole in the ground like the
ancient cities in the Mediterranean,
some arch8ologist will dig down
through the accumulated dust of GEN.
turies and find those hewn arches stand
ing as they stand now.
And yet the whole substantial struc-
ture is like the foolish mans house,
founded upon the sand and mud of Bos-
ton harbor. Three thousand tall pine
trees. stripped of their limbs, were
driven down close together in the black
ooze TO form foundation for the build
q
short years in the outer air, but sunk
in the harbor mud they are believed TO
be as indestructible as the earth itself.
When it was built, the custom house
was upon the water front, and even now
the cellar is below high water mark,
yet there is no drier cellar on Beacon
hill. The builders seemed to have been
the builders of pyramids and cata-
combs reincarnate, and the work was
done to stand after the builders them
selves were long forgotten. Upon the
Aheads of the piles, in the form Of
Maltese cross, was laid Gaping of
granite in hydraulic cement. Around
it were built the massive walls of solid
granite feet thick, which were to be
a protection against heat and cold, fire
and water and all the elements. With
in these walls rose the puzzling scheme
of sturdy pillars and arches which made
the cellar a maze of low rooted cham
bers, inches, crypts and passages.
When the visitor enters the basement
and storehouse, which is on the street
level. he feels instinctively conscious of
the huge pile of granite over his head.
This floor, within the surrounding row
of offices, is used for the storage of
champagne and bottled wines. The
cases, which hold two dozen bottles, are
piled in rsgular tiers as high as the cell
ing, and under the main entrance they
are packed in solidly. There are usually
between 5000 and 1900 cases, or over
10000 bottles, which if popped all at
once would make the granite dome
tremble and might drown the attend
ants in foamiu9 flood

The Pullman Brothers.

Albert Denton Pullman, George NJ.
Pullman's brother, who died near Chi
cago recently, was the mechanical gen.
ius of the family that have made their
fame in the manufacture of sleeping
cars. Understanding as he did every
part of the art of cabinet making, he
was able to superintend all the details
in the construction department of the
great Pullman industry. There are
four brothers surviving-George NJ.

THE SICllIAN REVOLT.
Due to Che Indignation Of the Poor Over

Due to She Indignation OF the Poor Over
Injustice In Collecting Tax.
The Sicilian trouble began at Mazzara,
town of $4,000 inhabitants. The sys-
tenn of local ta4ation, which is the griev-
ance of the masses throughout Italy, ex-
lists in Sicily. The rich escape through
corruption, and the poor carry the whole
burden. The people met in mass meet
ing and voted to abolish the municipal
taxes. The authorities, after pretending
to yield, sent for troops. The mob was
enraged and burned all the public build
ings. The troops attacked them, but
were overmatched, surrounded and un-
able to return to their barracks. They
tried to bivouac in the square. The mob
renewed the attack, and this battle last
ed all night, and many were killed on
both sides. In the morning the people
went home, and more troops came and
prevented renewal of the hostility.
Then the people of Salemi followed the
example Of Mazzara. The officials had
warning and garrisoned the public build
ings. When the mob attacked them, it
was at first repulsed. The rebels turned

houses. The rich half of the town was
destroyed, and much loss of life occurred
before the troops gained control.
AT CastelvetranO a mob of 1000 at
tackled the jail, freed the prisoners and
then held meeting and voted to lynch
the tax collector and dismiss the munic-
ipal officers. Both resolutions were
duly executed. The president Of the
Workmen's league was installed as
mayor, or sydic.
The inhabitants Of Pietraperzia made
demands upon the local. authorities,
which were refused, and the troops were
called out After a bloody battle, in
which many fell, the troops retreated.
The mob burned all the public buildings
and houses of the wealthy. Only the poor
quarters of the town remain. These
scenes were repeated at Valguarnera,
Marines, Canicatti, Trapani, Santa Mia
and other places.-New York Suns Lon

LAW AGAINST SENTIMENT.
Lord Herschell's Bill Eliminating r,
nance From Breach of Promise Suits.

nance From Breach of Promise Suits.
The lord chancellor. / hear, is cred
ited with the intention of preparing a
bill to do away with sentimental breach
of promise actions and to limit the
right of invoking the law in such mat
tiers to cases where it can be proved that
actual pecuniary loss has been incurred
by reason of the unfulflled promise.
IF Lord Herschell s bill ever becomes
an act, every shred of romance will of
course be eliminated from such actions
as come before the courts after it has
passed. and breach of promise will Jose
the fascination which it has so long ex-
ercised upon the public mind.
On the other hand, jurfes will be
spared the delicate and invldious task
of estimating the value Of lacerated
heart in current coin Of the realm, and
counsel will be relieved of the necessity
of talking a great deal of sentimental
nonsense that must be terribly trying
to their sense of humor.-Lady's Pic

Branding Criminals In China.

Finding that long terms of imprison-
ment and fogging do not check robbery
and piracy and systematic practice of
imposition on strangers in the nature Of
thievery in the Soochow district, the
authorities have resolved to try brand
ing. For the first offense the thief is
to be branded on the right cheek, and
for the second on the left cheek. The
brand is to be the Chinese sign for the
word thief. AS the Chinese have a su-
perstitious horror of all facial disfgure-
ment, the belief is entertained that the
new punishment will check the criminal
element. Record Union.

Mahogany Streets In Paris.

The laying down Of mahogany road
ways sounds almost like dream of ori-
entail magniicence, but it is what the
Paris municipal council are engaged in
at the present moment. A portion of
that almost interminable thoroughfare,
the Rue Lafayette-that portion nearest
to the Eastern Of France railway ter
minus-has been pulled up, and work
men are laying down blocks of real Bra
lillian mahogany of a peculiarly fine tex
ture and color. 1t is confessedly an ex-
pertinent, as the mahogany is dearer
than the woods ordinarily used for the
same purpose. Mahogany, however, is
not as dear as it used to be. The actual
cost of the new roadway will be so francs
a square meter, which is considerably
less than 81 a square yard. 1t is hoped
that the extra outlay incurred will be
more than compensated for by greater
urability.-LOndOn News

ashore east of the Lone Hill life saving
station on the south side of Long Island
in a binding snowstorm about year

from some passing vessel, and while max
ing for the shore must have been carried
into big hole that exists in the side OF

hunters succeeded in rescuing the ami
NAL, and he was taken to cabin on the
beach and fed. He is now in the posses
