HONEYMOON JOURNEYS
They Arc Fashionable But Not
Altogether Sensible.
Wedding Trip Might Better he Evaded--
IL Is Only Natural That Even the Hest
OF Lovers When Always Together
Should Weary OF Each other.

The honeymoon idea Is greatly
changed since the days when the
welded lovers stole away to some
secret retreat, usiBg every known de-
vice to conceal their destination from
their most intimate friends as well as
to deceive every one they met on the
way concerning the newncss Of their
wedding vows, says the New York Sun.
Now the fashionable metropolitan
bride usually goes to some city hotel
after her evening wedding to stay un.
Ill the next day, II not longer, before
she starts out on her wedding Journey.
The loyal friend who supports the
husband during the trying ordeal in
the capacity Of best mar" and re-
members oil the things the husband Is
supposed to forget, secures the rooms
at the hotel in advance, and possibly
engages the accommodations ON the
train for the wedding journey.
Usually, however, the bride and her
consort are left undisturbed by their
friends, no matter how long they may
remain in town, nor does anyone APP
pear at the station when they depart,
though neither the time of starting
nor the destination is concealed. One
bride made most original innovation
by remaining at home after noon
wedding to attend the Bachelors ball
In the evening and taking train for
Philadelphia at three o'clock in the
morning. A very fashionable girl
who married an Englishman re-
turned in three days after the wedding
to open her own house and to give out
and receive invitations AS TO the
wedding tour, it is no longer deemed
obligatory, and the English fashion OF
retiring for short time TO some
country place Is growing here in
America. II seems homogeneous with
the American girls ideas of good taste
to read OF the going-away gowns Of
English brides, which are Of pure
white II the lady has royal antece-
dents, or Of all sorts of light and fan
cifnl materials, pale grey with white
trimmings or blue with fur and passe-
menterie. For the American bride Ill
ways chooses for this going-awsy
gown the most quiet and genteol Of
colors, and not infrequently the
clever bride-elect wears the gown lust
enough to take off the look OF painful
aud embarrassing newness But II
must be remembered that the we'd
ding journey of the English bride Is
usually a carriage tourney. or M most

THE TROLLEY FOOT.
\ New Anment Brought by Electric

A New Ailment Brought by Electric
Cara
"He's got the trolley foot" Is the
latest expression. Fifty per cent OF
the motormen on the newly opened
electric lines are afflicted with the new
malady, and can be seen limping and
hobbling about the depot as though
they were suffering from acute rheu-
matism.
II seems, says the Philadelphia In
quirer, that the new-fnnglcd alarm
gong on the trolley cars is responsible
for it all. AS everybody has noticed
by this time, the alarm gongs, instead
of being pulled by a string, as ON the
cable cars, are rung by meansof but.
ton in the floor Of the platform, which
the motorman presses with his right
foot Now il does not take much pres
sure to set the tin pan gong rattling,
but the exertion brings new muscles
into play. and after the first two or
three days on the new cars, many of
the motormen were so afflicted with
stiffness and soreness in the right foot
and ankle that when they came to
leave the cars at the end Of the route
they found some difficulty in walking,
The malady was promptly dubbed "the
trolley foot" by the other employees,
and promises TO become epidemic when
the electric lines are extended all over
the city. OF course the soreness soon
wears OF as the muscles OF the foot
and ankle become Injured 10 the strain
upon them
The conductors on the trolley cars
find great difficulty in keeping their
watches in order, the current seeming
to penetrate to the works and knock
them out OF "lfilter." Many Of them
have had to have their watches demag-
netized to avoid this trouble. 1t is alb
solutely impossible for the motormen
to carry clocks In the front OF the ear
for the same reason. Many riders on
the trolley cars who find their watches
running wild, win probably discover
that the electric current Is the cause
OF II, and when the system becomes
generally introduced, wholesale de-
magnetizstion Of all the pocket time
pieces In the city will be found neces-
sary.

TIL Seigniorage Bill.

WASHINGTON, March 13.-The
Band Seigniorage bill was taken
up at II 80, and Mr.. Stewart Rep,
OF Nevada) addressed the Senate
in advocacy Ct it.
Mr.. Mindsay (Dem., of Ken-
tucky) argued in support OF the
bill. He said that if he belieyed
many of the unfortunate results
which had been predicted by some
Senators would follow the passage
of the bill, be would be slow to
give it his support; but his brief
experience in the Senate had
taught him to make allowance for
the u~nutterable evils predicted in
the discussion of every measure If
he believed that the enactment OF
the pending bill into law would
reduce the country to the single
silver standard, or that it would
stand in-the way OF an interna-
tional conference on the subject of
coinage, he would we slow to give
it his support. Bat it occurred to
BIN that the bill merely proposed
to carry into effect that portion of
TIE Sherman act of 1890 which
Congress had deliberately declined
to repeal when it was repeating the
silver purchasing clauses of that act.
The bill went no farmer than to
provide that the coinage provisions
in the act of 1894 shall be executed
within the next five years.
Mr.. Lindsay declared that as
long as the unrepealed part of the
Sherman act remained on the sta-
tute books, the silver do lar, coin
ed under the act Ct 1878, was the
ultimate money of che country and
would redeem any of the obliga~
tons of the Government Or of pri-
vate citizens unless where there
was an express contract to the COM
trary.
In the further course of bic argus
ment he was asked by Mr.. Wolcott
whether be meant to say that the
law contemplated that for every
dollar of Treasury notes outstand-
ing there should be coined silver
dollars to meet il; but that the law
did not compel tho coinage of two
millions a month beyond.a certain
date. HIS nswer was: GChat ia NV
position. We have outstanding
$3.50, O00,0 900 of these Treasury
notes, and we have only coined
100000 of silver dollars under
the act of 1890. 1t was the duty of
Secretary of the Treasury to con-
tinue the coinage of silver bullion
until it was all coined, and the
necessary amount of silver dollars
should have been set apart and the
gain or seigniorage turned into the
Treasury. to be used by the Cows
eminent tor its own benefit"
Mr.-Lindsay said that there was
going to be, under this bill, no
sudden change. There was going
to be 20 sudden expansion of the
currency. Not more than one and
a half or two millions per month

How Poe Sold .srhe Bells.

Henry Sartain, son of the famous en-
graver, tells this story of how in 1851
Poe's poem of 1.-The Bells" was first
published in Sartain's Magazine:
"Poe came into the Office one day,
and handing father stanza in manu-
script asked him what he thought of it.
Father looked it over and said he
thought it pretty good. Is it worth $5?'
asked Poe. Father said he thought it
was and paid him the money. The poem
was the first stanza of The Bells. A
week or so later Poe again sauntered
into the Office, with the remark, Well,
John, see you haven't printed my poem
yet. Father replied that he had not be-
cause of lack of space. Well, I've got
another stanza here Will you let me
have a five ON it?' The man looked SC
utterly wretched that father paid him
the money and took the stanza. Still

stanzas followed within month, and
then it was that the poem was first
printed. philadelphia Record.
