An Umbrella.

"Show me an umbrella, says manu-
facturer, that has holes worn in the silk
about the ring at the top, while the body
of the material is still intact throughout,
and / will show you the owner of an UNI
brella who doesn't deserve to own one,
if it is a good one. And show me an UNI
brella that has holes in along the ribs be-
fore natural use of it should make them
come there, and will show you an own
er who carries his umbrella more for the
sake of appearance than for utility"
A wet umbrella placed handle down
drips the moisture from it at the edges
of the frame, and the material with which
it is covered dries evenly and leaves no
spot still soaked with water. If the
handle is upward, the water runs down
to one spot at the top, where the strong
cloth lining about the ring holds good
deal of it and in a comparatively short
time rots the material, and it breaks
easily.
The man who carries his umbrella
swathed in it's case when it is not called
into use by rain will soon find it wearing
out from top to bottom.
This is because of constant friction be-
tween the case and the silk, and no mat
ter of how good quality it may be the
holes will appear in it long before they
should, and the provider of the umbrella
will of course be blamed for selling in
ferior or damaged goods. There are
many people so ignorant of the proper
treatment of an umbrella that they will
actually roll it up when wet and leave
it to rot and mold until the next time
they want it fer use.-New York World.

TATTOO THE WEDDING RING.
A British Social Reformer Suggests Brand.
ing Both Bride and Groom.

DEAR SIR wish in all earnestness to
make known "a suggestion that woslld
save many q broken heart among the
sensitive and many breach Of promise
case among the mercantile, and would
considerably tighten the labors of the
police courts and law courts. Ny sug-
festion is that every married man and
every married woman should have cir
Gle tattooed around the third finger Of
the left hand in place of or as well as
the wedding ring. This would be sign
that could never be taken off or effaced
and would therefore leave lesser mar
gin for the treacheries and tricks of biga-
mists and other great and small offenses
against law, society and individuals.
To make this proposition practical and
distinctive, of course certain rules would
have to be made. For instance, any I'M
married man or woman tattooing their
third finger to be heavily fined. Every
widow and widower to add a distin-
gushing ozark to their ring. Every
married man or woman disunited by
law to have bar of erasure across their
wedding ring, and those who marry two
or three times to add the extra circles
accordingly.
The operation of tattooing could with
all reverence be performed by an ex-
pert in the vestry after the church serv-
ice, or at the registrars Office for those
who only go through the civil ceremony
This tattooing may seem return to
barbarism, but our much vaunted civ
ilization has introduced such numerous
aids to deceit that a safeguard and a
warning, such as O tattooed wedding
ring, would become practical prevent
i've of much sham, folly and wrong.
Only those who have sympathy for un-
lawful liberty will demur against the
idea being realized. shall be pleased
to hear from all who approve of my
scheme and are willing to assist in form
ing a society TO influence others in bring
ing about a custom that would hep to
insure peace, respect and happiness to
many homes and hearts. Yours faith
fully, B. t. KNoLLYs.

The Mna Gushed Over the Ticker, but Wa
Disseminated on Sight.

Disseminated on Sight.
A telegraph operator in Boston office
once met with bitter disappointment
early in his career by falling in love with
young woman at the other end of one
of the old Western Union wires. She
used to say sweet little nothings when a
lull in the business gave her an oppor-
tunity to use the wire. The young man
worked in the Boston Office and had the
reputation of being "fly" sender and
able to receive what he could send, an all
importan. factor in the ''sizing up" of an
operator. The woman was proud to have
him say even "Gm" or "Ge" good morn.
ing or good EVENING" to her, and the other
girls on the wire, with whom he never
condescended to exchange even these or.
binary salutations, were jealous. AS time
wore on their conversations over the wire
became longer and more frequent. Fl.
nally an invitation to come to Boston and
visit one of the theaters was given and
accepted. The Lothario of the wire was
to wear red, red rose in his buttonhole,
white straw hat, with blue band; she
was to carry small satchel of peculiar
shape in one hand and a fluffy lace hand
kerchief in the other.
The train arrived at the eastern sta
ton on time, and the satchel Of peculiar
design was sighted. 1t was indeed pc
culiar design. It was an old fashioned
carpetbaS of q grayish green color and
considerably older than tho Morse alpha
bet. The girl was a sight that would
have made Neil Burgess in the County
Fair" go and hide. She was fully 4S
years old. Long corkscrew curls of q
past era hung down over her shoulders
like twists of molasses candy, and smile
doomed up under the caves Of her sum
bonnet that would have done credit to q
assure in the side of Vesuvius.
She was extremely glad to see him,
and he, with the instinct of true gen.
tleman, tried to appear that he was just
as glad to see her. He took her carpet.
bag, and they boarded car for the
house where he was staying. There
were sly nudges and covert laughs at
the tea table, all the girls and young
men thinking the young operator was
entertaining his aunt from the country.
For the evening performance at the the.
alter the giddy maiden fshed out all aw-
full bonnet from the depths of her car
petbag and slicked up her curls in the
most approved fashion. The bonnet was
flower garden in itself, and the writer
has the young mans own word for ii
that she and the bonnet attracted more
attention than the play.
The next day he sent her home, but
ever after he was careful not to allow
himself to converse with any one on tn
wire except on business. -Donahoe'
