A Turkish Wedding.

An artistic mistress of the ceremonies, being congratulated on the success with which she had managed the details of an English wedding, remarked impa- tiently that there had been one blot on the scene--namely, the bridegroom. She only wished it could have been ar ranged for him and his black coat to re- main outside in the brougham till the thing was over,
 Had she received an invitation to a Turkish wedding, as once by good luck did party of English ladies, among whom was the writer of the present sketch, her wish might have been grati- fed, as it is quite possible to attend such function without even catching Q passing glimpse of the crimson fez of the husband elect
 The latter spends the hours of his bridal day ill getting married to him self--that is, he visits the priest and the notary, takes out and signs his mar riage contract, attends religious sery. ice at the mosque, partakes of q stump tuous breakfast with his friends, and as the ceremonies cover considerable DOT. ton of the week l should not be sur prised to hear that during the time he even goes on a wedding tour in solitude and on his own account London Graphic

A New Inrention Which Might Be Used to
 Advantage In Barber shops.
 An Ohio inventor has just patented an effective auxiliary telephone, which is designed to be used in connection with substations The auxiliary consists of a specially constructed chair, The back Of the chair is so made that 1t will act as 8 transmitter, so that 0 conversation may be carried on with perfect ease while the operator is seated in the chair The principle on which this patent oper- ntes is the vibrations produced in tho body of the speaker, which are trans. fnitted to the chair back and thence over the line in the usual manner,
 This chair telephone is so designed that the chair will answer the purpose of an ordinary office chair. Mir. Nickel, vey, the inventor, is now making exper. iments with view of putting this at tRchment to any ordinary chair now in use. In devising this telephone Mir Me. Kelyey has departed from the usual paths followed by inventors and has proceeded along new lines, employing a bipole nonmetallic diaphragm in the re. ceiver, compound induction coil, the tertiary coil of which is connected in se- ries, and an simplifying magnet located immediately behind the diaphragm in the transmitter This telephone has been successfully worked over 1l5 miles of telegraph wire with earth return, and 1t is believed that when further experi. ments are made a distance much greater than this can be successfully worked Electrical World.

To Be Called Elijah.

Children have been admirably drilled in Bible detail They know more about it than three-fourths of their Sunday school teachers They have learned the story of Moses till they can say it as pat as the multiplication table. But I do not find any living interest in Moses. There is one of the grandest life stories in history, and they seem to have no feeling about it. And that need not be so.
 remember one of my Sunday school teachers in Chicago telling me how trou- bled she had been because she was afraid she was not making the stories of the prophets interesting to her boys. But one day she was comforted, for she heard from the mother of one of them that the lad had come home the Sunday before, and after sitting silent awhile suddenly burst out at the dinner table:
 Well, do think Elijah was fine fel- low, and if ever have a kid of my own I mean to call him Elijahg'
 Of course it is only rare teacher who can teach that way.-Brook Hereford in Contemporary Review.

Dainty French people have never dis placed sealing wax with the gummed en- velope, and in the haute mondeof France there is a certain symbolism in the choice of colors. Blue denotes constancy; yellow, jealousy. Pink is appropriately used by young girls, and gray is en. ployed when writing to an intimate friend. Red is confined to business, and engaged lovers find ruby symbolical of the intensity of their emotions. Green is for letters from lovers who live in hope, and dull brown warns the impa- tient lover that his offer is refused. White is chosen for communications re- lating to weddings and black for obitu- aries. Violet expresses sympathy. Choc- olate marks the invitation to dinner Paris Letter.

He rncnrthed Inusuit.

The inquisitiveness of a boy in Allen. town the other day resulted in the find ing of 5000 and will cause alawsuit. The personal estate of Silas Camp, a rich old bachelor, who died month ago, was gold at snetion. Among the goods dis posed of was an old safe, which was knocked down for $36O. The safe had been used by Camp, but after his death it was opened by his relatives, and every thing of value was taken out, as they supposed. Before the purchasers had an opportunity to take it away, however, a small boy worked the combination and opened the door While examining the interior he pulled out private drawer, and out rolled q pile of goldpieces. When counted, they were found to amount to nearly $500 The money was taken in charge by Camps brother un- der the protests of the new owners. who say they will bring suit for the gold Allentown (Pa.)

Buifon rose always with the sun, and he used often to tell by wha means he had accustomed himself to get out of bed so early. In my youth, " said he, T was very fond of sleep. It robbed me of great deal of my time, but my poor Joseph (his domesticl was of great serv- ice in enabling mo to overcome it l promised to give Joseph crown every time that hecould make me get upa 6.
 "The next morning he did not fail to awake and torment mo, but he received only abuse The day after he did the same, with no better success, and I was obliged at noon to confess that had lost my time. l told him that he did not know how to manage his business; that he ought to think of my promise and not to mind my threats. The day follow ing he employed force, and begged for indulgence, bid him begone, Istormed, but Joseph persisted I was therefore obliged to comply, and he was rewarded every day for the abuse which he sui fered at the moment when l awoke by thanks, accompanied with a crown, which he received about an hour after. Yes, am indebted to poor Joseph for ten or dozen of the volumes of my work "--London Judy.

The deep sea thermometer, us invented abroad and improved by officers of the United States navy, is 8 Inarvelously in- genious and effective contlivanca. It is in effect self registering instrument, though not technically so called The thermometer is so arranged that it is au- tomatiealIy turned upside down when the machinery besinsto draw f up from the depth at which the temperature is to be ascertaiued The effect of the inyert- ing process is to break the column of mercury, and a small portion of the col umn remains in the upper end of the tube, exactly enough to measure the tenn perature at the moment of inversion. The tube is graduated so as to read from either end, and the quantity of mercury in the upper part of the tube Is so small that it does not respond to any but great and sudden changes of temperature. It thus happens that the reading, when the thermometer reaches the surface is prac- tically correct for the temperature at the point of inversion. Kansas City Times.

Yes, sir, tell you, he is the straightest man I know. He is white, he is. You need never be afraid of him beating you, for he is honest to the backbone When you buy his vote, you may be sure he will do as he promises.

 "On my overland trip to San Francis co l was treated to the exhibition of | rough ranchman put very much on his good behavior, said New York lady. We had got put at one of the stations in Nevada for dinner have forgotten the name of the place, if ever noted it, but if it wasn't Poverty Flat it was mis- named. Not feeling hungry, l leaned back in my chair, idly looking at the dis tant sand hills through the open window opposite, unmindful of the rattle of knives and plates around me. A rough voice at my very ear startled me from my dream.
 Here, why the hell don't you pass me the butterg
 Tt came from the nearer one of two stalwart, sunburned men, who seemed to be ranchers or miners. They sat beside me in dusty high top boots and rough peajackete, with their broad hrimmed hats on, and were eating as if they had long arrears to make up in the way of square meals
 Imagine my astonishment at such a summons, which made no doubt was addressed to me- But I was too much intlnidated to be indignant and hastily handed him not only the butter, but ev- erything else within my reach. At this be looked round at me for the first time, and his look of amaZement showed that be was worse taken back than l had been. He did not thank me, but took his hat off and put it under his chair, and nudging his companion said in an awestricken stage whisper:
 I say, Jim, take your hat off She's a lady.
 "Ihen, evidently wishing to make fur ther amends for his discourtesy, he again turned to me;
 Say, marm, hey ye ever seen a live wiljca6 Cause ef yer ain't I've got one outside here l catched myself, an I'll take ye out after we get through eatin an show it ter ye.
 "l thanked him and said I would be very glad to see it, as had never seen one. After dinner having still 10 min- utes to spare, we went to see the wild cat. It was in rough wooden box with wooden bars, croucbiug as far back as it could get, with its eyes gleaming like cOals of fire When one of the men of. fered it piece of meat on the end of a stick, it made a spring that seemed as if 1t would break through the bars, but tbe stick had sharp point that made it beat hasty retreat, though uot before it had secured the meat, over which il snarled yiciously.

Glycerin is one of the most useful and misunderstood of everyday drugs. It must not be applied to the skin undilut- ed, or it will cause it to become red and hard, but if rubbed well into the skin while wet it has q softening and whiten- ing effect. It will prevent and cure chapped hands and soothe an irritable cough by moistening the dryness of the throat. Applied to shoes, glycerin is a great preseryative of the leather and ef- fectually keeps out the water and pre- vents wet feet.-New York Advertiser.
