MODES OF MARRIAGE.

From the Washington News.
To eat maize pudding from the
same plate, or to eat in any way to-
gether, is widely distributed mar
riage ceremony. In Brazil a couple
may be married by drinking brandy
together; in Japan, by so many cups
Of wine; in Russia and Scandinavia
1t used to be one cup for both. The
joining OF hands among the Romans
and Hindoos is common to many
parts of the world. In Scotland it is
called "hand- fasting" and couples
lives together after. To sit together
on a seat while receiving friends, or
to have the hands of each tied to-
gether with grass, or to smear with
each others blood, or for the woman
to tic cord OF her own twisting
around the naked waist of the man,
constitutes marriage in one part or
another.
In Australia woman carries fire
to her lovers hut, and makes fire
for him. In America she lays a
bundle of rods at the door of his
tent. A Loango negress cooks two
dishes for him in his own hut. In
Croatia the bridegroom boxes the
BRIDES ears, and in Russia the father
formerly struck his daughter gently
with new whip-for the last time
and then gave the weapon to her
husband. Down to the present 1t is
a custom in Hungaria for the groom
to give the bride kick after the
marriage ceremony, to make her feel

ICED people the servitude Of the bride

HORSE MEAT IN PARIS.

From IA Chemical Detective Bureau, I" by
Ida NJ. Tarbeil, In Mcolure's Magazine.
In the survey Of the butcher shops,
one duty is to make sure that horse,
ass, and mule meats are not mas
querading as beef. Not that their
sale is forbidden. On the contrary,
the municipal laboratory itself has
declared this sort Of nourlshment

demands that the meat be sold as
equine and not bovine, and that the
animals which furnish 1t be not de-
crepit or diseased.
The first point is regulated by
establishing shops especially for the
sale Of horse meat. Or, II 1t is sold
from a cart or In a regularly licensed
butcher shop, by requiring that 1t be
marked plainly. The sale of horse
meat has grown to enormous proper

sen AND SALARY.

From the Boston Globe.
There are reported to be 1876 male
teachers in the public schools of
Boston and 1872 women.
The average salary of the men per
month is $246.06 and the average
salary per month of the women is
$1,000.
To what extent the larger salary
is a pure bonus to the male sex is an
interesting question. Doubtless the
fact that many OF the higher salaried
posts are held by men accounts for
more or less of this disparity, but it
by no means accounts for all.
So far as man receives higher
remuneration than woman can
secure for the same labor, this excess
is pure bonus handed over on
account OF sex.
OF course old (but not venerable)
custom sanctions the payment to
women of less for the same labor and
service than is paid to men, but this
is an age when equal rights are sup
posed to be maintained and fair play
to all is supposed to rule.
Why are women still paid less for
the same work than men receiver
Who knows?

ca RTENTER FINED THE PIANO.

From the Utica tNew York. Observer.
a Utica family changed their
residence from one street to another
few days since. Among the
household effects was a handsome
square piano, the cover of which had
in process of transportation been
slightly cracked. When the tuner
came he noticed the cracked cover,
and told the lady of the house that
he knew of man who could repair
it so that it would not be noticed.
There was a carpenter working about
the house, and as the cost of moving
had been considerable the lady
decided to have the carpenter do the
work, and informed the tuner that
he need not send his expensive
expert. Calling the carpenter he
showed him the damaged cover and
informed him that he could easily fix
it with glue. The carpenter set
about his task, and the lady paid no
further attention to him.
\ day or two she had company and
was requested to play upon the
piano. Acquiescing, she went to the
instrument and attempted to lift the
lid. Ii would not bulge. Thinking
that it was locked, she spent ten
minutes hunting for the key. Having
found it she learned that her surmise
was incorrect. Failing, after repeated
and strenuous efforts, to lift the lid,
she was compelled to forego the
pleasure of entertaining her guests
in this way. When her husband
came home he exercised his muscle,
but to no more avail. After three or
four trials he began an examination
and found that the carpenter had
labOred under the mistaken notion
that the lid ought not to raise, and
had, accordingly. placed thick
coating of glue between it and that
part of the piano upon which it
touched. To make the job undeni
ally complete, he further secured it
by driving ten penny nail through

THE PULLMAN STRIKE.

THE PULLMAN STRIKE.
There is a general tieup of pas
senger traffic from the west. The
members of the American Railway
Union refuse to move trains that con-
tain Pullman sleepers, and the rail-
road companies refuse to move trains
unless the sleepers are attached.
Traffic in all the large cities has
been effected and mail trains have
been interfered with in some places.
1t looks as though the coming strike
was going to be a record breaker.
The gist of the quarrel between
the American Railway Union and the
Pullman Car Company is exception
ally clear. The employees of the
Pullman Company living in the town
of Pullman struck for higher wages.
The company refused to satisfy them
and the American Railway Union, a
railway trade union, decided that all
Pullman cars throughout the coun-
try must thereupon be prevented
from running.
The strike has extended to all the
large cities and much perishable
freight stands ON side tracks. Dis

THE NEW PRESIDENT.

THE NEW PhFblDENT.
Casimir- Perier was Wednesday,
June 81, elected president OF the
French republic, in succession to
M. Sadi Carnot, the late victim
of anarchistic hate.
The election was by the senate
and chamber OF deputies sitting
as the national assembly in the
great hall of the palace of Versailles,
that has been the scene of so
many historic events. The hall was
filed with spectators an hour before
the session began, and among the
assemblage were many members
of the diplomatic corps.
No time was lost in proceeding
to ballot. The voting was more
close than had been anticipated. The
assembly consists Of about 884 mem
bers, of whom the senators number
800. M. Casimir- Perier received
45l votes out of 1853 cast. The
candidate was not present during
the proceedings.
No nominating speeches were
made. The members of the national
assembly deposited their ballots in
the urn and the tellers then took
the urn to the committee room. The
tellers reported the result OF the
vote to the president Of the assem-
bly,, whereupon he said: M. Casimir-
Perier having obtained an absolute
majority. proclaim him president
of the French republic"
In officially notifying M. Casimir-
Perier of his election to the presi-
dency, M. Challamel- Lacour deliv-
cred an eloquent oration, and in
reply the new president said:

emotion I now feel. The national

THE THREE FOOLS.

From Kate Ficld'- Washington.
Once upon time there were three
fools; great big fool, and a middle
sized fool, and tiny little bit of a
fool. These three were women con-
templating marriage with men whose
paths were crooked.
The woman who was a little bit of
fool married a man who drank
Her friends warned her, naturally
and the general public prophesied,
but she risked it. Then began the
official program: cheerful home,
good meals, fragrant coffee, bright
open fires; after that there was Il
gold cure, and in the end he was re
claimed. He was, really. Moreover,
he stayed so.
The middle sized fool married a
man whose taste was not 50 much
for wine as for women and song. lie
liked them best as combined in light
opera. 1t requires a woman of great
sweetness of temper and infinite tact
to manage man of this kind; but
she did it, and in time he, too, re =
formed. The road was weary one
for her, however.
But the great big fool married a
man who was a gambler. lie was a
foreign person, having local habi
tation, deeply mortgaged, and q
name. And the rest of this chapter
is very brief and not especially
cheerful. 1t is this: The genuine
gambler neuer reforms.

CARNOT KILLED.

Sadi Carnot, president of the
French republic, was assassinated
by an Italian anarchist, at Lyons,
June "a.
LYONS, June 24.-President Carnot
was stabbed this evening and died
at forty five minutes past midnight.
His assassin is supposed Italian
anarchist.
The president was visiting Lyons
in connection with the International
Exhibition. Upon his arrival here
he was rendered a reception at
the Prefecture, after which he
visited the exhibition. After spend
ing some time at the exhibition,
he proceeded to the Palais de
Commerce, where banquet was
given in his honor.
At 9:25 O'Clock to might President
Carnot started for the theater, where
gala performance was to be given
because of his presence in the city.
Several carriages were in the pro-
cession, the first one being occupied
by the president. M. Carnot's car
riage was driven slowly along in
front of the Palais de Commerce and
then turned into Rue de la Republi-
que, still following the facade of the
palace. When half way down the
street, which was lined with enthus-
iastic crowds of people, who were
loudly cheering, man rushed out
of the crowd and sprang upon the
step of the presidents landau. Just
at this moment M. Carnot was wav-
ing his right hand and saluting with
his hat in his left hand in response
to the ovation that was being given
him by the crowd. The people close
to the carriage saw that the man
standing on the step had knife
in his hand. By the glare of the
electric lights they saw the bright
blade CLEAN in the air as the would
be assassin's arm descended, and
then President Carnot seemed to
fall back in his seat, his face .deathly
pale. One OF his hands was pressed
over his heart where the steel had
entered the body.
The assassin was Immediately
seized by the police and, despite
frantic attempts at lynching by the
infuriated populace, was securely
jailed. Carnot was taken to hotel
where he died at 12:45 o'clock. He
remained conscious to the last. Just
before death DR.. Poncet leaned over
the bed and said to him, "Your
friends are here, M. le President"
M. Carnot replied: 81 am CRATE
ful for their presence" and n minute
later he gasped for breath. There
was a convulsive shuddering of his
body and all was over.
Marie Francois Sadi Carnot, fourth
president of tine third French repub-
lie, was born at Limoges, France,
August II, 1857. He was elected
president in 1887 and his term of
seven years had almost ended.
The funeral was one of the most
imposing ever seen in France. The
calamity necessitated the immediate
election of a chief executive. Great
excitement prevails and several
riots have occurred in Lyons and
Versailles.
