A Bridal Bouquet,

A German horticultural journal is
responsible for this story about bridal
bouquet: A certain schoolteacher in
the town of Konitz had ordered bou-
quet for his wedding day, STIMULATING
that it should not cost more than
marks SD, but not designating what
kind OF flowers should be selected. It
was in the autumn, when dollhouse
flowers were few and dear, SO the flor
lst composed it of white dahlias, but
the bride and her family declaring that
these flowers were unfit for the purpose
the schoolteacher returned the bouquet
to Its maker and refused to pay for it.
The florist then sued him, but the
position OF thefschoolmaster was sus-
tanned in court, in accordance with the
testimony of experts in matters of taste
whom he had called in and who echoed
the opinion of the bride.
A similar result followed upon an
appeal to a higher court, despite the
testimony Of experts now summoned by
the florist, and the florist was ord cred
to pay the costs of the suit, amounting
to 800 marks.

Peg Tankards.

The pegging or marking of drinking
cups was introduced by st. Dunstan to
check the Incorporate habits Of the
times by preventing one man from tax
ing a larger draft than his companions.
But the device proved the means of in
creasing the evil it was intended to
remedy, for, refining upon St. Dunstan s
plan, the most abstemious were required
to drink precisely to a peg or pin,
whether they could soberly take such
quantity of liquor or not. To the use
of such cups may be traced the origin
of many of our popular phrases. When
person is much elated, we will say.
He is in merry pin,' and He is a
peg too low" when he is not in good
spirits. On the same principle we talk
of taking man down peg when
we would check forwardness.

The Child in Art.

beautiful and healthful child is
perhaps the most beautiful thing in the
world. The child as a type Of innocence
and symbol of love with all the attri-
butes of happy and healthful infancy,
with all the tender. holy associations
of maternity and home, touches the
heart more nearly than all else on
earth. Such an ideal did Perrault con-
ceive and reproduce in his famous Salon
picture for 1891, entitled "The Awaken
ing"
After it's exhibition at the Salon, this
painting was purchased by that art
loving American, Mr.. Thomas Doliber,
senior mem Der of The, Doliber-Goodale
Company of Boston, better known to
the public as the Proprietors of Mellin's
Food. At Fthe time of. purchasing the
picture Mr.. Doliber's sole intention was
to place it in his private gallery, but
American progressiveness asserted itself,
and, as result Perrault's picture was
sent to the Colum bian Exposition to
constitute the exhibition of Mellin's
Food instead of the customary lars, bot
ties, labels and placards.
In addition to this the picture was
reproduced simultaneously with the
opening of the Exposition in.the Youths
Companion of Boston. Perfect reproduce
tions of the same picture OH a small scale
quickly followed in all the leading maya
zines, Century puollshlng long article
descriptive OF the picture and its author.
Such wide publicity soon brought hun
dreds of letters from 3all parts of the
country, and even from abroad, request
ing copies of the picture. No steps had
been taken at that time to meet this de-
mand, but now Mellin's Food Company
have added the crowning feature to this
great advertising enterprise by having
the picture printed on heavy plate paper
for framing, a copy of which they offer
to send absolutely free to any mother
sending them label taken from jar of
Mellin's Food. To those who are not
now users of Mellin's Food the picture
will be sent for six cents in stamps to
cover the cost of mailing

Deep as even your sun bright eyes
Fair as even the Weakening Skies

Now that you give thanks to see?
May you not rejoice as I,
Seeing the sky
Change to heaven revealed, and bid
Earth reveal the heaven it hid
All night long from stars and moon,
Now the sun sets all in tune?

Friends who like each other we'll,
What might happily, if we might,
Bid us read our lives Alright.
