DANGER IN THE BRIDAL TOURS.
Tho Medical Aspects of the Case Presented
to Those About to NARY

Tho Medical Aspects of the Case Presented
to Those About to Marry.
The custom which obtains SO general
y of taking fatiguing journey as q
part of the nnptials is regarded by high
authority as one of the barbarisms OF
civilization. Let Us illustrate the inju-
rious physical tendencies by typical
case. During extremely cold weather
there occurs wedding, which, from
the standing of the parties, attracts
some attention. The happy couple, we
are told, are off for their wedding trip
to a still more higid section of country.
Though conscious Of danger and dis
comfort, to some extent, which is great
ly increased by their inexperience In
travelling, they cheerfully assume the
risk and responsibility, as to all mar
ried couples bridal tour seems to be
considered as absolutely essential to give
the marital union an Importance with
out which it would, in their opinion, be
unromantic and but partial marriage.
The tour causes fatigue, exposure and
excitement, making regularity Of life
impossible-in fact, the act involves the
reverse Of all that the rules Of health
and physiology require.
Again, it constantly happens in the
case of both sexes that a slight indispo-
sition, which passed unnoticed in the
hurry Of preparation, is aggravated to a
serious and even fatal extent by the ex-
element, exposure and neglect on a
wedding tour. No man, for instance,
would think of postponing his marriage
on account Of slight cold If he staid
at home afterward and took care of him
self, it would pass away like other slight
colds, but often on the bridal tour the
malady develops into chronic disease
A prominent physician recently said:
Many cases Of brides and bridegrooms
in my professional experience came I'M
der my observation dying Of typhoid fe-
yer just after a wedding trip, which
had caused the early symptoms to be
misunderstood and neglected. In one
instance that came under my observa-
ton healthy and vigorous young man,
just returned from bridal tour, died Of
typhoid fever in Troy, his sickness be-
ing superinduced presumably by the ia
tigue and exposure incident to the jour
ney. It will thus be seen that the med
ical aspect Of bridal tour is sufficient
ly important and the risk incurred sufi-
GENTLY great to cause the welded pair,
if they wish to be actuated by impulses
Of reason and prudence rather than by
the dictates of custom, to pause before
they undergo the trials of a wedding
journey. "-Troy Times.

A Motto at q Funeral.

There are women who, if offered the
choice between matinee and funeral,
will poll tremendous vote in favor OF
the funeral. The dramatic opportunity
is only a negative pleasure trap
pings Of woe are a positive sensation.
There is story told that good though
eccentric dame long since gathered to
her accounting, in whom this passion
was abnormally developed, arrived in
town from her country place one day on
a shopping expedition. This lady heard
of the death of a mere acquaintance and
learned that if she hurried to the house
she would be just in time for the funeral
services Shopping, as compared with
mourning, had no charms, and the lady
fastened to the house of sorrow. Now
the constant travelling companion of this
good woman was brown linen atrocity
in the nature of handbag or roll. Upon
this bag, embroidered in large letters by
the misguided person from whom it was
a gift, was motto. Arrived at the
house, our friend insisted upon having
seat as near the casket as was possible,
and that achieved she placed the brown
linen structure across her lap, then set
tied herself with sigh Of satisfaction.
The letters upon the bag, held within
few feet Of the deceased lady and visible
to all the mourners, spelled the words,
"Bon voyage. New York Recorder.

HE Many Absurdities inst Chung Round
the Ceremony Of Baptism.

the Ceremony of Baptism.
Thus on the birth of child-to be-
gin at the beginning was impera-
tive that both the mother and babe
should be 1sained" that is, fir cam
die was carried thrice round the bed,
and Bible, with a hammock or some
brea1 and cheese, was placed under the
pillow and kind Of blessing muttered
Ito propitiate the ttgood people. =
Sometimes fir candle was set on the
bed to keep them off. If the newborn
showed any symptom of Righteousness,
it was supposed to be a changeling, and
to test the truth of this supposihon the
child was placed suddenly before a peat
fire, when, if really a taangeling, it
made its escape by the lem, /" or chin
ney, throwing back words Of scorn as it
disappeared There was much eagerness
to get the babe baptized lest it should
be stolen by the fairies. If it died un-
christened, it wandered in woods and
solitary places, lanenting it's melan-
choly fate, and was often to be seen.
Such children were called s'tarans.
Allan Ramsay, in his Gentle Shop
herd, - describing Mause, the witch,
says Of her:
At midnight hours DER the kirkyard she raves
And houks unchristened weans out of their
graves. <. -.
It was considered a sure sign of ill
fortune to mention the name of all ''un-
christened wean, - and even at baptism
the name was usually written on slip
Of paper, which was handed to the Off
ciating minister, that he might be the
first to pronounce it. Great care was
taken that the baptismal water should
not enter the infants eyes, not because
such a mishap might result in wsilings
loud and long, but because the sufferers
future life, wherever he went and what
ever he did, would constantly be vexed
by the presence Of wraiths and specters.
IF the babe kept quiet during the cere-
mony, the gossips mourned over it as
destined to a short life and perhaps not
a merry one; hence, to extort cry, the
woman who received it from the father
would handle it roughly OR even pinch
it.
IF male child and female child
were baptized together, it was held to
be most important that the former
should have precedence And why? In
the ''Statistical Account Of Scotland"
the minister Of an Orcandian parish ex-
plains: ''Within the last seven years he
had been twice interrupted in admins
tering baptism to female child before
male child, who was baptized imme-
diately after. When the service was
over, he was gravely told he had done
very wrong, for, if the female child was
first baptized, she would, on coming to
the years Of discretion, most certainly
have a strong beard, and the boy would
have none. All the Year Round.

The rose Of Jericho, a plant with
which many superstitions are connected,
is called Rosa Mari@, or Mary's flower.
It is a small, bushy, herbaceous plant
shout six inches high, of the nat
ural order cruciferm@, which grows in
the sandy deserts Of Arabia and Pales-
tine and bears small white flower on
many branches. When its leaves fall,
the branches contract toward the center
and coil themselves inward and inter
lace like ball Of wickerwork, which is
blown about from place to place. When
it happens to fall into water, it uncoils,
and its pods open and let out the seed.

in moisture for years. Its generic name

The kind of so-called insanity devel-
oped more in the course of a murder
er's trial than in the course of his life,
is the sort THAT needs heroic treat
ment. A mania for murder is danger
Gus to society. Self preservation is
said to be The first law of nature. As
sasstns ought to be killed for the pro-
lection of society. When there is no
doubt of honicides insanity he
should. of course, be treated as insane.
But when that alleged malady is ex-
Inhibited merely in the crime commit
ted, the law against murder should take
its course, and the Prendergast type
of murderous wretch should not be
permitted to live. The tenderness ex-
Inhibited towards such malefactors IS
itself a species of inaipient insanity.

or two voted for that measure, it has
been proven from Republican evidence
that they were deceived by the scheme
devised for that purpose. The act of
1893 was no crime, or offense, or blow
at silver, as money. The killing was
done in 1878. The repeal of the purchas-
ing clause simply stopped the buying

PROTECTING AMERICAN woRkMEN

The monopolists and capitalists
who have falttened on the protection
afforded them by Republicanism at me
expense of the masses, have urged The
continuance. of that protection as nee
essary to keep up the wages of the
American workman. Some of the la
boring people have been hoodwinked
by this and have imagined that high
tariff was imposed to give them high
wages.
But latterly they have thrown away
the impudent deception AS the tariff
went up their wages went down. When
they rebelled against the reduction
hordes of Huns and Slavs, Poles and
Italians were imported to take their
places. Foreign products were shut
out by high duties but there was no du-
ty on imported foreign labor The
American workman was terrorized with
the bugaboo of the ''pauper labor of
Europe" which he was told he would
have to compete with under free trade
But he found he was brought into ac-
tual competition with that kind of la
Dor brought into he mines, and mills,
and factories, and workshops, to take
the bread from his childrens mouths
unless he would come down ito "starv-
alton wages"
Oh! Those lovers of American work.
men feel for him as the leech feels for
the blood OF its victim! But they have
in many cases reaped the fruits of
their own sowing. The imported la
borers soon find out what American
prices and hours of labor should be
and when they Strike" it is with axe
and knife, with bludgeon and dyna-
mite.
This kind of striking must, of course,
be put down by the strong arm of the
law. But there can be but small pity
for the protectionists who have hum
brgged the Congress and the country
by their tender regard for the poor
workingman, and are finding out the
cost of the ''pauper labor of Europe"
brought to our shores to compete with
American working people.
In Illinois, it appears, a new move
ment is made to cut under even the
roughs from continental Europe. Ne
groes are being imported from the
South to work in the mines, and to
whom $6.37 per week seems to be good

tected plutocrats to keep up high

HoMICIDAb "INsANITY.,


The Chicago Imter-ocean Rep.) has
this to say regarding the Prendergast
case and the allegations of his coun-
sci that he is insane:
The protection of society against
mental freaks and the victims of a
mind diseased is one of Those problems
which still remain to be solved. The
whole field of insanity and crankery
is only just beginning to be Intelligent
ly surveyed. In old times these unfor-
Inmates We're supposed to be possessed
by devils, or, later, TO be witches or to
be bewitched. Ignorance has put to
death vast numbers of such unfortu-
mates who ought to have been put in
asyiums for the insane, where if they
could not be cured could be restrained
from doing harm.
Prendergast may or may not be in
same, but there is a maudlin sentiment
tality abroad that says that all men
who commit crimes must be insane
The truth is that a wicked and venge-
full heart prompts and controls their
actions It is very strange that there
is rarely, if ever, any suggestion of in
sanity in the case Of these murderers

TRYING TO CRAWL OUT.


A Republican dodger who has not
wit enough to be even an "artful dodg-
err" says:
Silver demonstration came first and
has been sore; but it is wholly false
to say that the Republican party is to
blame for it, because that crime was
participated in equally by both sides. I"
without stopping to show that it is
wholly false to say the crime of
1873 was participated in equally by
both Sides" for every well Informed
person knows it is false, let US quote
another sentence from the same article
in the same paper. 1t is this:
Accordingly it is with a clear con-
science that it feels free to hold the
Democratic party responsible, as a par
ty, for the closing crime of 1888, where
by silver was put wholly under the BAN.
etc.
Now, observe the fine reasoning and
lovely logic in those two sentences
from the same source. Suppose it was
true. which it is not, that both the po-
EticaI parties equally participated in
the demonstration of silver in 1873. 1t
is then argued that 1T is wholly false
to say that the Republican party can
be to blame for it, But the fact is
that far greater proportion Of the Re-
publicans in Congress than of the Dem
ocrats voted for the repeal of the sher-
man lnakeshift And yet it is claimed
with an alleged clear conscience that
the Democratic party must be held re-
sponsible for that, in which both par
