An Unusual Wedding.

"The funniest church wedding /
ever saw" said confirmed victim to
the wedding habit, twas one in a
Protestant Episcopal church in this
city the other day. The brides father
was rector of the church; her brother
was also clergyman. The bride
wanted her father to marry her. When
the bridal party started up the aisle
two flower girls came first; then tho
bride, walking alone; few feet back
of her the maid of honor, next two
bridesmaids, then the mother of the
bride unattended, and lastly two more
bridesmaids and the ushers. The
mother gave her daughter away, the
father married them, the brides
brother assisted in the ceremony. AL
together it was entirely different from
any wedding ] had seen before, though
very decorous for all. "-Philadelphia

They Wear Medals of Honor.

There have been but three gold
medals awarded by Congress to per =
sons in the United States for herois IN
in saving life. One of these is in the
possession of Captain Alfred Sorensen
of the steamer Charles l.. Mather, of
Soston; another is owned by man
named DAILY, of San Francisco, who
was presented the medal in 1884, for
plunging boldly into the surf and saw
ing life, and the third by Gay
Head Indian, who saved the life of a
passenger in the City of Columbu $
wreck, Vineyard Sound, in 1884. A
day or two ago Captain Sorensen and
Mr.. DAILY met on Washington street,
in this city. The Californian had his
medal pinned to his coat lapel, and
for moment the captain thought his
own treasure had been lost, but on
finding it in pocket he accosted
the stranger, and the two heroes be-
came acquainted and fast friends at
once. Boston Transcript.

The number of telephone stations

Pasteur, the French scientist, has
shown that all fruits and vegetables
when undergoing even partial decay
contain bacteria, which, if taken into
the stomach, may cause disease. Fruit
grown near to the ground may contain
the bacteria of typhoid fever, tetanus,
diphtheria or cholera, which may have
found their way into the material
used for fertilizing, or may have be-
come incorporated with the dried
dust Hence one should never neglect
to cleanse fruit. Especial care should
be taken with imported or shipped

districts where there are infectious
diseases.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best proG2cts to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
It's excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispclling colds, headaches and feyers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup Of Figs is for sale by all drug

And makes my soul rejoice

That in my heart love will reign
Which | may call mine own.

And changed my locks ofbrown,
That yet within thine eyes
Mine own may fondly gaze,
And see that still within them shines
The light of other days.
Tell me, oh tell me once as1in.
Tell me once again,
If on my dying couch
You would be there to soothe my pain
With loves caressing touch,
And kneeling by me then
Would breathe iervent prayer
That He who watches over men
Would take me to His care.
Tell me, oh ! tell mo once again.
Tell me once again,
If deaths unyielding grasp
Should gather me into his fold
And to his bosom clasp.
That you would on my tomb
A loving tribute lay,
And memory's urn implant thereon
To mark my dying day.
Tell me, oh tell me once again.
