MIXED MARRIAGES.
Cases In Which Matrimony Brought
About Complications.

Cases In Which Matrimony Brought
About Complications.
The two following cases would be diff
ficult to surpass. One was in England,
the other in Australia. Some time ago
a marriage took place in birmingham,
which brought about very compli-
Gated state of family relations. The
woman had been married three times
before, and each time had taken for her
husband a widower with children.
Her fourth husband was widower,
and, as he had children by his first
wife, who was herself a widow with
children when he married her, the new
ly married couple started their matri-
monial companionship with a family
composed of the progeny of eight
previous marriages.
Another CURIOUS case was that of DR..
King, of Adelaide, a widower, who
married "A Miss Norris. Shortly after
the doctors honeymoon the doctors son
married sister of the doctors wife.
Then a brother of the doctors wife
married the doctors daughter. In 9th
er words, the doctors son became his
stepmother's brother-in-law, and the
doctors daughter became her step
mothers sister-in-law. The doctor, by
the marriage of his son to the sister of
the doctors wife, became father-in-law
to his sister-in-law, and the doctors
wife, by the marriage of her sister to
her stepson, became stepmother-in-
law to her own sister by the marriage
of the brother of the doctors wife to
the doctors daughter, the doctor be-
came father-in-law to his brother-in-
law, and the doctors wife became step
mother-in-law to her own brother. 1t is
an unsolved problem as to what rela-
tionship the children of the contracting
parties are to each other.

lance is indeed fortunate. and cannot
afford to overlook or neglect To appro'
pirate aud utilize them.
Heretofore their availability has
been confined within very restricted
limitations, which have caused them To
become less aud less desirable, until
| they have largely given away To steam
power. Practically the mill or factory
using them heretofore had to be located
in close proximity To the waterfall but
under the new order of things that linn
itation has been entirely done away.
Thanks To the new aud successful
combination and use of the water wheel
and electric generator at the waterfall,
the power can now be transmitted over
/ a cheap line To "A motor which will eco
nomically utilize it in any desirable To-
cation within a radius of several miles
distance.
The success of the cataract company
at Niagara Falls has given new impe-
tuS and life To the water power meth
cd of driving machinery, and already the
entire country is awake to new schemes
of various kinds to secure and control all
the waterfalls which can be improved
and made valuable in this simple and
sure way. The experimental stage of
the new method is passed, and capital
no longer hesitates to embark in water
power developments along this line,
and already light and power are being
supplied to many cities in this improved
and economical manner.
Michigan possesses many rapid and
permanent streams of water which arc
but partially utilized by old methods,
and new source of wealth Is opened to
companies or individuals that appropri-
ate and develop these now unused but
natural sources of power.
The Kalamazoo river from Battle
Creek to Lake Michigan would undoubt-
edly develop sufficient power, in addi-
ton To that already utilized, to light
every town and drive nearly all the
machinery located in the valley or ter
ritOry contiguous to it.
The cost of lines for transmitting
and distributing the power would be
so small, the dam and generating ma
chienery could be located at any point
along the river where the fall was great
est and the improvements could be made
and maintained at minimum cost, and
provided the claims of Tesla, the genius
in electrical discoveries, proved true,
the distance would not be so great as to
be seriously taken into account.
''The NcCS observes there is much
similar planning going on all over
the country, aud it throws out these
hints AS to what might be within the
possibilities nf success at our very doors,
and would further suggest that "a delay
too long INDUCED in may find a grand
opportunity lost beyond recovery

A BIRD THAT DANCES.
Strange Habits of an African Relative OF
the Stork.

1t is something like heron or stork,
has a melancholy gait, lives on fish and
frogs, and is considered in Africa bird
of evil omen. 1t is found in Cape Col
ony, some other parts of Africa and in
Madagascar. Under it's quiet appear
ance, says Chambers Journal, it nour-
ishes esthetic tastes. When it casts off
its sober demeanor it INDUCES in fam
tastic dance. In state of nature, two
or three join in the dance, skipping
around each other, opening and closing
their wings. They breed on trees or
on rocky lodges, forming a huge struc-
ture of sticks.
These nests are so solid that they will
bear the weight of a heavy man on the
domed roof without collapsing. The
entrance is a small hole, placed in the
least accessible side. In lonely rocky
glen Mr.. Layard once counted half a
dozen of their nests, some almost mac
cessibly placed on lodges of rock. One
nest contained at least a large car load
of sticks. They occupy the same nest
year after year, repairing it as required.
The female is credited with the joiner
work and the male is the decorator
On the platform outside the inner por-
ton he spreads out all kinds of objects
of vertu, brass and bone buttons, bits
of crockery and bleached bones.
II a knife, pin or finder box were lost
within some miles, the loser made a
point of examining the hammerkops'
nests. Indeed, were it not that hyenas,
leopards and jackals ranged in their
vicinity, it is highly probable mans
curiosity or resentment would have
often extirpated these interesting
artists, or at least destroyed habits
founded on leisure and immunity from
nerSecution

Critical Logic Failed.

The late Sherlock Holmes had a
favorite dictum: Eliminate the i'm
possible, and what is left, however inn
probable, must be the truth" This
was not at all in accordance with the
saying of Victor Hugo: Nothing is so
imminent as the impossible. What
must be always foreseen is the unfore-
seen" Most of us will agree, from ex-
perience, with Hugo rather than with
Holmes The impossible does not hap
pen. When Mercy Philbrick's Choice"
was published in the mo Name" series,
the critics were agreed that IL seemed
TO be written by Helen Hunt Jackson.
But, as those who knew her love for
flowers and acquaintance with nature
also pointed out, she could not be the
author, for there were several glaring
mistakes in the naming and placing of
blossoms in the story. Yet, as was
aftcrward disclosed, she did write il; so
all the theorizing went for nothing.

NOT MADE BY HUMAN HANDS.
Pretty Fable Regarding Drinking Cup
of Marvellous Workmanship.

A drinking horn of marvellous work
manship is one of the relics kept in the
church at Oldenburg, Germany, says
the New York Commercial Advertiser.
1t is known throughout Europe as 1.-The
horn of Oldenburg," and has a most
wonderful history. According to the
story, the great Ohio of Oldenburg was
out hunting, and, becoming exhausted
from thirst and fatigue, sank upon the
earth with the exclamation: 'Oh, God,
would had cool drink" The sound
of his voice had scarcely died away
among the trees of the forest when sud-
denly beautiful maiden appeared be-
fore him bearing richly-carved drink
ing horn, filled to OVERLOOKING with
cool, sparkling water. Ohio was more
captivated with the beauty of the horn
than he was with that of his fair bene-
factress, and without even staying to
say Thanks" turned and ran at the
top of his speed, carrying the vessel
with him. To save himself from the
consequences of such a peculiar theft,
Ohio bestowed the horn upon the
church, and TO this day the story, as
given above, is told by the guides, who
display the relic to the gaze of curious
visitors

Electricity and Water Power.

The Paw Paw river already furnishes
several excellent water powers, but it
has never been improved to- anything
like the full extent that is possible.
Paw Paw could, by the expenditure of
few thousand dollars below the old
Mason mill property, have one of the
finest water powers in the state For
years past, water powers have been of
comparatively little value in industrial
development, but in view of the pro.
gress being made in electrical trans
mission, water powers may come to be
of the utmost importance The following
from an article in the kalamazoo NeUS
will be of interest in this connections:
The recent improvements i'm meth
DDS of generating electric currents and
transmitting them long distances has
created anew and increased demand for
water powers, and consequently added
immensely to their value. Any city
possessing them within reasonable dis

Wouldn't Trust Rossbery.

Lord Rosebery, Willing away some
hours at Aberdeen on his way to Bal
moral recently, occupied himself in
looking at the shop windows in Union
street. A set of quaint thistle cups in
silver attracted his attention and finally
he walked into the shop and purchased
them. Not having a large sum of
money with him, he suggested giving a
check. This offer was but coldly re-
ceived and he was somewhat rudely in
formed by the shopman that he could
not take the articles with him nor could
they be sent until the check was duly
cashed. Even when Lord Rosebery
gave his name it was received with evil
dent doubt

EARTHQUAKE INCIDENTS.


49, >~~-s
capes of Turks.
A Constantinople correspondent of
the New York Tribune says that it will
probably never be known how many
persons were killed in that city by the
earthquake of last summer. The Turk
ish government has a chronic hatred of
facts, and the newspapers were forbid
den TO publish statistics of the earth
quake. What are believed 10 be mod
crate estimates place the number of
deaths at about one hundred and fifty,
and the number of the wounded at
about six hundred.
The correspondent cannot help prais-
ing the courage of the firemen stationed
on watch at the top of a tower more
than two hundred feet high. They
stuck to their post, although the tower
swayed like flagstaff, and when the
fires broke out after the overthrow of
dwellings, they gave the signals as
usual.
Another case of a similar sort was
that of minaret builder who had gone
up TO the top of minaret TO remove a
conical cap which the first shocks had
thrown askew. While he was there an
other shock occurred, and there was
another panic in the streets.
His assistants, who were in one of
the galleries of the minaret, began to
run downstairs, and the mosque serv-
ants below shouted TO him TO come
down, but he stayed where he was.
IF this is going to fall, he said, lit
will fall before can get out of it," and
ne proceeded with his work.
Many wonderful escapes occurred.
Two men were walking together. A
Turk met them, and, as is not unu Usual
when a Turk meets foreigners, he
pushed in between them, instead of
turning TO one side. At that instant a
stone fell from the building above them,
and hit the Turk, who fell dead between
the two Mortified foreigners.
But the most marvellous escape was
that of boy three years old. He was
running along the street at the base of
the city wall just as one of the ancient
towers was overthrown. When the
dust cleared away he was discovered
pinned TO the ground by great stones
lying on his skirts on each side of him,
but himself quite unhurt.
