Nervous Bride Dies.

VIENNA, Dec. transportation
in Bohemia has claimed another
victim. In the church OF Chras.
tian at Pisek, in Bohemia, mar
riage was about to be solemnized
between Annie Roslin,ag 10, and
a youth of her choice. Bride and
bridegroom stood already before
the altar, where were lighted tap
ers. Before the priest could unite
the bridal pair one OF the tapers
became suddenly extinguished
A loud shrek came from the
bride, and she gasped, "Meine
Kerze list erloschen J" (my taper is
extinguished). She sank uncon-
scious into the arms of the BRIDE
groom, and in her chaplet and veil
died at the raltar rail. The super
stition of the villages of the Plain
is that IL a lighted taper becomes
extlnguished on either side OF the
altar, the person standing on that
side the altar where the light went
out will suffer dire calamity.

ONE SKIRT FOR A WINTER.
1t May Form the Foundation of Many
Costumes.

1t May Form the Foundation of Many
Costumes.
There is nothing like a black satin
skirt to help out deficient wardrobe.
1t may be made, with careful planning,
to take the principal part in as many
as six different costumes. Worn with
a Louis Quinze coat of black satin,
trimmed with jet and cream lace, it
will make an effective church costume.
When an evening gown is desired the
black satin should have the cores out
lined by narrow jeweled trimming.
Then it may be worn with frivolous
chiffon waist spangled with jewels.
AS theater costume the black satin
skirt may appear again in connection
with a bodice of scarlet satin. If this
seems too gay for ordinary theater
wear the bodice may be toned down
with black chiffon frills.
For ones afternoon "at home" the
black satin skirt may be worn with
any stylishly made silk waist. Persian
silk waists are much the vogue this
year, and waists of lowered taffeta
are always charming. As dinner
dress the black satin skirt may also be
utilized It would look well for this
occasion worn with bodice of black
satin, trimmed gorgeously with gold
galloon and lace.
Even for an afternoons shopping
expedition the black satin skirt will
not come in amiss if worn with walk
ing coat of light tan box cloth. And
after il has served a wear in all these
various capacities, then it will do
nicely for black satin sleeves in next
years rown.-N. Y. World.

MISCELLANEOUS.
GENERAL GRANT.
How Near His Personal Memoirs
Came to be Lost.

valuable History Written by Dying
Man, Proper Nourishment Enabled
the Author to Live Until the Compile
ton of His Book.
The fortitude shown by General Grant
in writing the second volume OF his per-
sonal memoirs while he was literally on
his deathbed, excels even the remarkable
courage exhibited by this famous soldier
in his many achievements on the field of
battle.
Col. Fred Grant, speaking of his fathers
last illness, says:-
"During the last four months of his
sickness, the principal food of my father,
Gen. Grant, was Bovinine and milk; and
it was the use of this Incompatible food
alone that enabled him to finish the second
volume of his personal memoirs"
DIR. T. H. Douglas, Gen. Grants physi-
clan and friend, cordially Endorsed the
above statement
What Bovinine did for Gen. Grant it
has done. and is now doing, for thousands
every day. 1t is the most wonderful con-
centration into small bulk of all the
life-giying, muscle, flesh, and blood-mak-
ing elements Of lean, raw meat ever pro-
duced.
1t is in no way medicine, simply
food invigorant, that by its strengthening
qualities gives the worn-out or disordered
vital centres of the body an impetus that
again starts them performing their natu-
raj functions.
1t is Endorsed by eminent physicians
everywhere, and blessed by thousands
whose lives it has actually saved.
To neglect, to use this wonderful food
in all cases of debility, wasting diseases,
overwork, stomach and nerve diseases, or
for weak infants, chronic invalids, loss of
vitality in old age, is to throw away one
of the greatest chances of saving life.
