wedding Dresses For Hire,

Brides on the east side like to look well
just the same as brides do the world over.
But with them money is not to be squan-
dered. So they hire the dress-hire it at
the same place where CHIMNEY hired his
dress suit and Name her costume when
she went to the jolly Seven's masquerade
ball as Mary, queen of Scots.
You can find such places in Second
street. There are about dozen wedding
dresses in each shop. Sometimes they are
used in stage wedding, but oftener in
real one. The rent runs from So to $40,
according to the magnificence of the gown.
They are beautiful creations-at least they
seem so to mere man-and are hand en-
broidered, with pearl fringes and lots of
lace.
They must be looked after and mended
every time they come back, just the same
as the masquerade costumes. The skirt
of a wedding frock and the train stays
good quite awhile, but the bodice has to
be changed, not because it is shabby, but
because it is out of date.
Costumers expect to make dress pay
for itself in about four usings, but Of
course they make poor mouth and say
wedding frocks lose money for them.-

The Abuse of Slang.

1t Is not the use of slang which is to be
deprecated; it is the abuse of it. The girl
who every time she opens her mouth pro-
jects from it some such word as lawfully,
lawfully nice," lawfully horrid, "
lawfully square, +" lawfully round" and
so on until you wish that she would, at
any rate, advance into the alphabet as far
as the b's-is not only a slangy person ;
she is also in all human probability fool,
The same civil observation applies to
the man who has become indissolubly
Joined to some slangy catch phrase as, for
instance, "Don't you know, Hes a
nice fellow, don't you know, " at seems
to me to be queer start, don't you know, +"
II can't stand clever people, don't you
know"
We quite realize the truth of his last
statement without his putting himself to
the trouble of giving it audible utterance
Just as clearly as we surmise that it is Just
possible that clever people can't stand
him.-All the Year Around.

Steamship Shaft Indicators.

One of the most notable marine de-
vices in the engine room of first class
steamships is an arrangement by which
the engineers are enabled to know wheth-
er that part of the shaft which extends
outside the ships hold is working smooth
ly or not. In all twin screw ships this
runs through sort of tunnel fastened
to the ship with big brackets. OF course
it is impossible to get at this shaft dur
ing voyage. On the Paris, for in
stance, this is said to be 40 feet long. To
meet the objection in question little,
fine tube is made to pass along the top
of the shaft which runs inside the ship.
just over the shaft. and water is con-
stantly running through this tube in Q
fine stream. The engineer on watch fire.
quently tries the temperature of this
water with his hand, so that if the water
were warm he would know at once that
something was wrong with the working
of the shaft and it would be slowed down,
or this not remedying the trouble the
engines ON that side would be stopped

spokane,s Elastic Social Function.

Spokane society dotes on receptions.
A reception is the most elastic, conven-
lent social affair imaginable. Just Q
little stretching of the rules will make
it grand ball, a concert, banquet or
a prayer meeting. 1t can be adjusted to
the crowd, the weather, the political sit
uation or anything else. The only trou-
BILE with these receptions is that guest

The Easy Going Long Islander

Whether it be due to salt or to Unborn
laziness, the fact cannot be disputed that
the native Long Islander is the most SOM
nolent. slow going human being this side
OF Philadelphia. We suppose that theirs
are hundreds of people between Brooklyn
and Montauk Point who have never tray-
eled on railroad, never seen a glimpse of
city life and never wanted to do anything
but eat, drink and sleep. For enterprise
that is positively elamlike the stretch of

Hunted with . pecoy Parrot.

One Of the most remarkable characters
Of the lower river in the olden days was
hunter boatman named Nathan Lask.
For some reason he gave up boating and
took to hunting, living In q snug cabin on
the Arkansas river Just where a large
stream, the Big Mammelle creek, empties
into it. His sole companion was a large
green parrot, to whose education he devot-
came wonder, He taught the bird to
initiate the gobbling of turkeys and the
quacking of ducks, and thus the parrot
acted as his deeoy. The bird seemed to
take delight in the sport too. 1t never
made a mistake and quacked when 1t
ought to have gobbled, but seemed to un-
derstand the kind Of game it's master was
after and called accordingly.

The MARQUIS Paid.

The famous surgeon Velpeau was Wis
tied one day at his house during the con-
sultation hour by marquis renowned for
his closeness. Velpeau informed the mar
quis that an operation was urgent, and
that the fee would amount to 900 francs.
At this the marquis made wry face and
left A fortnight later DR.. Velpeau, while
making his rounds in the Hospital de la
Charlie, had his attention ATTRACTED by a
face that seemed familiar to him. In an
swer to his inquiry it was stated that the
patent was footman of nobleman in the
Fauhourg Saint German. The surgeon
found that his case resemb led in every par
ticular the somewhat unusual one for
which the marquis had consulted him a
fortnight previously, He refrained, how
ever, from making any comments.
Three weeks after the operation, when
the patient was about to be discharged,
DR.. Nelpeau called him aside and ex-
claimed: "Monsieur, ] am extremely fat
tered and pleased to have been able to cure
you. There is, however, a small formal
ity with which you will have to comply

will have to sign check for 1000 francs
In behalf of the public charity bureau of
your metropolitan district" The patients

like about it., continued the doctor, "but
If you refuse all Paris will know tomorrow
that the Marquis de D. adopted the
disguise of footman In order to secure
free treatment at this hospital and to
usurp the place which belongs by right to
a pauper." OF course the marquis paid.

1ep3 ~ ho old Church Of st. Fides in
11aI <55It, In Alsace, found this bust in
<d <bder the choir. This part of the
IShzI1efw was built in 1904 by the grand
mother of the great Emperor Frederick
Barbarossa. 1t is known that these tombs
contain the remains of members of the
great families of the neighborhood, whose
descendants kept these resting places of
their ancestors in repair down to the mid
die of the seventeenth century and some
until now. This tomb that the workmen
opened had been rebuilt in the seventeenth
century and was supposed to date from
that time. When it was opened, the re-
mains of a wooden coffin were found, and
this wonderful petrifaction of bust and
head, with the features clear cut and I'M
wasted. About the head Ore two braids of
hair, the right arm lies across the breast,
and the left hand is perfectly preserved.
The clothing is of the finest quality, a long
linen chemise, linen Undertaking and
wooden jacket, with costly mantle, such
as might have been worn by the lady abb
bess of convent.
The clothing and the way the hair is
worn prove that this woman lived in the
eleventh or twelfth century She was
evidently woman of quality, about 40
years old, may be the Duchess Adelheid, the
aunt of Barbarossa and daughter of Hill
dergarde Won Schwaben, who built the
church. Tradition has it that Adelheid died
of the plague and was buried at Schlett-
stadt. This woman undoubtedly died of
contagious disease, and it is to this fact
that her preservation is ascribed. When
she was buried, mortar of some kind, or
some preparation of lime, was poured over
her, which, as it hardened, preserved the
face and bust. The face is of great beau
ty, the features clear cut and refined and
the expression noble. 1t might well be the
face of woman who died as Adelheid is
said to have died-while nursing the
plague stricken peasants of her neighbor-
hood.-Springfield (Mass.) Republican,

X4W&X very Solemn Affairs, Accord

Wazhington's state dinners must have
been exceedingly solemn affairs il they
were all like tho description of the fol-
lowing, which is found in the ancient
diary Of Senator Maclay, one Of the first
two representatives of the state of Penn
sylvania in the United States senate:
Thursday, Aug. 81, 17s9-A little
after o'clock called upon Mr.. Bassett
Of Delaware state, and we went to the
presidents for dinner.

Mrs. Washington, Vice President and
Mrs. Adams, Governor Mifflin and his
wife, Mr.. Jay and wife, Mr.. Langdon
and wife, Mr.. Dalton and a lady per-
haps his wife), Bassett, myself, Lee Lew
is and the presidents two secretaries.
THE president and his wife sat oppo-
site each other in the middle of the table;
the two secretaries, one at each end. 1t
was great dinner and the best of the
kind ever was at. The room, however,
was disagreeably warm.
First were soup, fish, roasted and
\
was the dinner. The middle of the table
was garnished in the usual tasty way,
with small images, artificial flow ars, etc.
The dessert was fruit. apple pies, pud-
ding, etc., then ice cream, jelly, etc.,
then watermelons, muskmelons, apples,
peaches and nuts.
sit was the most solemn dinner was
ever at. Not health drank, scarce q
word said until the cloth was taken
away. Then the president, filling glass
of wine, with great formality drank the
health of every individual around the
table. Everybody initiated him, changed
glasses, and such buzz of Health, sir,
Health, madame Thank you, sir and
THANK you, madame had never heard
before.
1.-THE ladies sat good while, and the
bottle passed about, but there was dead
silence almost. Mrs. Washington at last
withdrew with the ladies. expected
the men would now begin, but the same
silence remained. The president told Of
q New England clergyman who had lost
his hat and wig in passing a river called
the Bronx, and he smiled, and everybody
else laughed.
He now and then said a sentence OF
two on some common subject, and what
hessaid was not amiss. Mr.. Jay tried to
make laugh by mentioning the carica-
ture OF the Duchess of Devonshire as
sisting in carrying ON Fox's election.

He ate none, but played with the fork,

did not sit long after the ladies retired.

to drink coffee. The company followed.

II recall an instance of woman who
was employed by me to assist in locating
some counterfeiters. She became acquaint-
ed with a woman who was in with the
gang and by cautious work got hold of
many important facts which helped us.
The arrest caused a big sensation, and
there was much talk about it in the news
papers. Now, this woman, when it was
all over, simply ached because no one but
ourselves knew what clever work she had
done. She wanted to get into the papers
and be talked about Ii her name had ever

would have been no use to us any more.
