THE WEDDING JOURNEY.
There Was n Great Deal Of Publicity
in Starting on.

From the New York Tribune.
An amusing incident occurred the
Richard Peck OH a recent night. little
before the sailing time of that steamer
from New Haven. At about II 30 o'clock
gay party trooped over the gangplank and
into the boat the girls decked out with
smilax and flowers. They seemed to be
in search of somebody, and scurried up
stairs to the main deck, but soon returned
unsuccessful. In few minutes, however,
carriage was driven upon the wharf and
young couple alighted and made their way
aboard the Peck They proved to be the
objects of the search, and as they crossed
the plank they were showered with rice
and pleasantries oy the friends who had
assisted at their wedding earlier in the
evening. ard whom they had hoped to
elude by the announcement of their IN
tention to come to New York by train.
Once aboard the boat, the whole party
gathered in the glass-inclosed space at the
foot of the main stairway. Everybody
talked at once and each girl was intent
upon kissing the bride every two minutes.
The chatter quickly drew a crowd Of SYM
pathetic, if curious. spectators, who lined
up all along the railing which surrounds
the stairway well" Every now and then
the bride would roll her eyes up iE that
direction, with look of slight embarrass-
mcnt but not annoyance-for she was too
happy to be annoyed at anything. The
bridegroom had retreated to the shadow of
the stairway. Nobody kissed him, but the
crowd of well-wishers looking down from
the upper deck soon made out his identity
from noting how many people shook hands
with him.
Suddenly an electric bell from a state
room sounded. The young men ana young
women, who had just finished singing Hap
py is the Bride that the Sun Shines On"
thought that the morrow's sun would shine
on themselves in New York city if they
didn't escape instantly to dry land 4
storm of hasty kisses and congratulations,
and they were gone. The young couple
stood alone for a moment at the foot of
the stairway, at last keenly conscious of
the forty pairs of eyes gazing down upon
them. Then, literally facing the first re-
sponsibility of their married life, they
walked bravely up the staircase, the young
husband paused when half way up to take
off his hat in a profound bow to his inter-
ested fellow-passengers, who returned the
courtesy with good will.

A Bicycle Spin to Rockville and
Return.
THREE ROUTES AVAILABLE
Condition Of the Various Roads and
the Distances.
A WIFE Ell NJ A Ms G q I'D E

A pleasant all-day bicycle run which can
be taken by any average rider Is to Rock
yille the county seat of Montgomery coun-
ty, which is situated almost due north of
Georgetown, and in an air line less than
ten miles. There are not very many at
fractions at the place, only the usual sights
characteristic of a quaint Maryland town,
which is being gradually changed by the
Introduction of modern architecture. The
houses of the town are about evenly divid-
ed between pretty modern residences and
houses erected in ante-belium days. One
OF the greatest attractions of the place to
the general wheelman is the good dinner
which can be obtained at several hotels in
the county seat, which are open ell the
time. The ride can be made in a few hours
of easy pedalirg, while the return can be
made in somewhat faster time. owing to
the fact that the way back is somewhat
down grade.
The Three Routes.
There are three separate ways of reach
ing this place, with two auxiliary routes,
orly one of which is worth trying. The
shortest way is through Georgetown, up
35th street to the Te9leytown road. and
following up the track of the electric line
past Bethesda and up to the end of the
read when turn to the right is made, and
after few hundred yards the old original
Rockville pike is reached This is called
route A, being the shortest, and a yaria
tion Of this route would be to leave the
Bethesda pike. near the post office by that
name, and strike the beginning of the
Rockville pike. This We will term auxiliary
to route A.
Route B is by way of the-7th street road,
passii g on to the small village of Norbeck.
From this place a cut is made in a west
erly and southerly direction. which leads
into the town. A variation of this route,
called auxiliary b, is to leave the road to
Norbeck at the small village of Wheaton,
and ride in a ntrthwesterly direction, en-
tering the town near the-same point as
reached over route Ii.
A third route Is up the Conduit road to
the Seven Locks, or what is popularity known
as the Persmmon Tee road, ande thence
into Rockville by way of Potomac. the VIII
lage located at Ofutt's cross roads. This
Is route c. suggestion of a variation to
this route is by means of River road, as 1t
Is termed. which branches off to the left at
Tenleytown, and which leads direct to Po-
tomac.
A brief description of the various rouoes
will be of interest and possibly of advan-
tage to those who nay want to take the
trip. The town., as before stated, is con-
Eiderably higher than Washington, and in
all there are only four ridable roads lead
ing into Roc kville from this city.

An Estimate of Eugene Field

From the Boston Transcript.
In his own degree Field made himself
loved in his profession of journalism and
Of letters in such fashion as Robert Louis
Stevenson was beloved. His talents were
of the abounding sham-hating, humanity
loving, fearless kind, and his humor was
unfailing and courageous as Stevenson's
in the face of a great deal of suffering.
His pres in his books or in the PERSONAL
tiles of his daily newspaper work is all IN
fused with warm feeling for English and
with a wit that was never barbed to wound
He certainly made the world laugh wisely
Field was a man of fine scholarship and
refinement of taste. Probably the poet
Horace has made no heartier lover in
America than he.

From Pears0n's Weekly.
1t is hard to tell whether animals blush,
for their faces are covered SO thickly with
fur or hair or feathers that we do not
know what may be going on beneath.
Were they as barefaced as man, it is
more than likely we should see them blush
especially the more bashful sort, and those
with some sense of shame.
1t Is fact that the faces of vultures
flush, and several of the monkeys become
purple with rage, which may be considered
as kind of blushing
This may be proved any day in the mon
key house in the London geological gar
dens, where the balloons seem to fly into
a passion on the smallest provocation.

Not Drinking Water, but Household
Pets, the Agency of Disease.

Pets, the Agency of Disease.
From the Chicago Times Herald.
An old-time physician of Chicago, now
retired, finds that the ordinary house cat
may be the means of spreading diphtheria
far and wide. This man of medicine con-
tennis the idea that drinking water can be
an agent in carrying germs
This is the way the scientist states his
case: Instead of trying to make a scape-
goat of Chicago drinking water, as many
people are trying to do in connection with
the large number Of cases of diphtheria
row in Chicago, families containing small
children would do well to look after their
own cats, as well as any stray cats that
may be found their premises AS
means Of communicating diphtheria and Of
carrying the disease from one household to
another, the common house cat is prob
ably more dangerous even than children
suffering with the disease, for, as a rule,
the latter are watched carefully and quar-
entined in most cases. ~
"The medical evidence showing that cats
not only contract and suffer from dipth-
iberia, but convey the poison even when
they themselves remain well, is abundant.
In addition to the evidence from foreign
countries and from other parts of the
United States, two small epidemics in llli-
nois have been traced directly to cats that
had diphtheria. The more interesting Of
these cases occurred at the little village of
Worden, in Madison county, in August,
1891. A few miles out OF Worden was
family with some children who had throat
trouble, that was found to be diph:haria.
Several kittens in the household were the
pets of the children. The kittens were
taken sick, showing the usual symptoms OF
diphtheria in cats. Two Of these kittens,
just at the beginning of their illness, were
given to men living in Worden. who took
them home as pets for their children. Both
of these kittens died within a few days.
One of the children took diphtheria, and
thus was begun localized epidemic which
infected about one dozen children and killed
about half of those affected

Rockville is a cross country ride over a clay

the trip. containing one good HILL For the
