An Arab Wedding.

among the Arabs a peculiar custom
prevails at all wcddings," said Edward
o. Frazer, Of Worcester, at the I4aclede
last night. "After various ceremonies
the bridegroom Il led in the evening
into large, dimly lighted room. Here,
huddled on the floor ON one side, he
finds the female relatives and friends OF
the bride, all Of the same height and
size, all wearing precisely similar
clothing and closely veiled. One OF
these is the bride, and ii falls upon him
to find out which it is. If he has been
wise he has bribed some of the specta-
tors to give him sign TO guide him,
but if not he attempts to seize the veil
ed figure whom he suspects TO be his
bride. If possible, she slips from his
grasp and runs away, with him in no;
pursuit.
"An exciting chase follows, until he
succeeds in catching her, when he tears
the veil from her face. If il turns out
that me has chosen correctly, aud that
she is the bride, the game Is ended, but
if not, he must try again, after the cap
tuFed girl has had time to arrange hei
disordered dress and take her place
once more among her companions
Again he makes a selection, and aftel
another long chase succeeds i'm unveil-
ing a second maiden, possibly only tC
find he has caught the same girl again.
Many hours are consumed i'm this way
and it is often daylight before the un,
lucky bridegroom secures his bride. y

Home and Abroad.

1t IS the duty of everyone, whether
at home or travelling for pleasure or
business, to equip himself with the
remedy which viii keep up strength
and prevent illness, and cure such ills
as are liable to come upon all in every
day life. For instance, Hoods Sarsa-
parilla as a general tonic, and to keep
the blood pure and less liable to absorb
the germs Of disease, will be well nigh
invaluable. Change of drinking wa
ter often causs-s serious trouble. espae-
ially il one has been used TO spring
water in the country. From a few
drops to teasponful OF Hoods Sarsa-
paTilla in a tumbler of water will pre-
vent the water having any injurious
effect.
Hoods Vegetable Pills, as a eathar
tic, cause no discomfort, no disturb
ance, no loss Of sleep, bat assist the di-
gestive organs, 80 that satisfactory re-
suits are effected in natural and reg

1t Didn't Work.


BY and by came along TO a creek
crossing the highway few yards below
a squatter's shanty, and sitting on a
rock beside the creek was sad-eyed
and forlorn-lOoking man about 10 years
old. As / came up me bowed To me
and used the back OF his hand To wipe
away tear.
'sAre YOU sick >" asked as l stood
before him.
''No, not sick, but weary of life,r he
gasped out in reply.
"Any particular cause ~
'sThe old woman" he answered, as
he pointed toward the shanty- "She
makes life miserable for me and wish
was dead. She'll find me dead some
day, and mebbe she'll regret the way
she used me- I've got heart disease
and am liable to go at any mint"
That statement gave me an idea, and
he fell i'm with it. He stretched out on
the grass behind the rock, and | hall
looed the house. After two or three
minutes hatchet-faced, wild-eyed
woman came TO the door and asked
what was wanted.
''Have YOU husband ~ asked
''Why, I've got a sort of eritter
around we're who mought be called n
husband"
'.Nas he afflicted with heart
disease?r
Reckon he was. He was afflicted
with over one hundred affiicshuns, and
that mought hev bin one of them.
Whar is he?n
"Down here on the grass, and l think
he's dead"
''Shoo. Waal, yo' keep the hogs
away, and I'll be down purity soon"
1t was ten minutes before she came,
and TO my surprise she brought along a
barrel stave in her right hand.
ais it your husband ~ asked as she
came up.
'eYes, my critter Of man for shore. F"
ain the midst oflife we are in death /"
''Yes, reckon we ar"
"He eometh up like flcwer and is
cut down."
''Yes cut right down."
"Tm afraid you'll sadly miss him,
and if YOU have not always been a kind
and loving wife you will now repent
the fact. He looks to me like a man
who has suffered long"
AYES, suffered fur over ten years.
"And died at last of broken heart. "
AYES, drapped right down with a
broken heart, and, dod rot his buttons
I'll wallop his carcass fur maxim me

She lifted the stave and walloped.
The wallop lifted the dead man, and
he got three or four more of them be-
fore he could get out of reach. He flew
up the hill and around the house, and
the woman dropped her weapon and
calmly observed:

cut down, and yo' just thought yo' was

The Mining of Slate.

The manner in which slate Is mined
and cut up for purposes TO which if is
applied j. a process that is known to
only few people, because slate is not
found In many places IN this country,
its principal sources being IN upper
New England and Eastern Pennyiva-
mia. Ii is not taken out of shafts, but
il is quarried out of big holes in the
earth. Some time ago when the writer
was at Bangor, Pa, he was invited to
go down into one of these quarries,
about POO feet deep, and overland on
"A rope, bat he declined the invitation,
as | think most inexperienced persons
would do.
The slate l. blasted out iTf huge
blocks and is hoisted out by steam and
turned over to the men who know how
TO reduce il 10 the proper size. Huge
blocks of il are taken in hand by these
workmen, who cut notch into one
end of each piece. Then they take IA
chisei and mallet, and they are 80
skilfuI in directing their blows that
they can split the blocks Of slate in
almost any way they please. If you
watch the slab on which one of them
is working you will see a little hair
line running through it, and presently
the block will fall apart on either side

die or to either corner, just a he likes.
do not know just how he does it, but
he invariably accomplishes what he
sets out 10 do.
The smaller pieces thus produced are
taken in hand by another set of men,
who split them up into sheets of the
proper thickness for roofing slate. This
they do with a long bladed instrument
about the shape OF putty knife, but
many times larger, and if you saw them
do il you would marvel how they got
the sheets of without breaking them,
aud also how they could split them so
thin. Some of these men can take a
sheet of slate only one inch thick and
split il thirty-twO times The usual
number Of divisions is sixteen. These
sheets are taken and cut into squares
by machinery.
