The Way They Do It In India.

The newspapers commented on the ST.
600, 900 wedding of granddaughter of
William H. Vanderbilt recently held in
Connecticut as an example of costly we'd
ding ceremonies. In fact, 1t was an un-
usually costly affair for enlightened Amer
lea. But imagine, IL you can, a constrast
between that and recent one in India
told of in letter written to the franklin
vile IN. " Chronicle by Mrs. Clara
Swain, cousin of William Smith Of that
village, who is now residing in Rajputa-
ma, one of the states in northern India.
The bride was 12-year-old daughter of
the king, or rather the governor of that
state, the capital city being Khetri. Her
bridal party consisted of $500 persons, 800
camels, s elephants, 500 horses and 80
pairs of bullocks as teams. The father of
the bride invited few of his immediate
friends, who came to the number of 1907.
The groom was 19 years of age. He was
accompanied to the ceremony by party
comprising 1,071 horses, 1894 camels, 10
elephants and rs teams of bullocks, and
friends innumerable.
All Of these people and animals were
kept for more than a week at the expense

Was Noah q Carpenter

"'Twas q bright, warm morning In
early spring few years before the compile
tion of the ark All was peace and quiet.
The sunny silence was broken only by the
tap of Noah's hammer and tho occasional
ribald remarks of some young toughs who
had strollcd over to josh him about his
proposed voyage.
But suddenly the calm was Jared to
fragments by n prolonged shrek of agony,
which caused Mrs. Noah's hair to creep
and startled her into dropping a porter
house steak into the coal vase. Hurrying
out to the ark, she beheld her spouse with
his head bowed on his breast rocking to
and fro in speechless pain.
"What troubles thee, my soul?" she in
quired in trembling tones.
Noah raised to hers two eyes full of sup

beside bloody hammer and observed in u

women,s Keener Color Perception.

Statistics have been accumulated which
reveal that in respect to color blindness
there is remarkable difference between
the two sexes. About 81 per cent of men
are color blind to marked extent, while
not more than four -tenths of per cent of
women are thus afflicted. This difference
in color perception will strike most hus-
bands who have been sent by their wives
upon shopping embassies to match ribbons

If there are any particularly dirty places
on the carpet, it seems wise to take the
small whisk broom and dustpan and sweep
up those places first before beginning the
general sweeping. Then we shall not have
to sweep this additional dirt all over the
carpet. After the sweeping is done and
the dust allowed to settle little, If abe
broom Is dipped in clean, cold water, all
shaken out that can be, and the carpet
then lightly brushed, the broom being dip
ped into fresh water every few moments,

Xoman,s Greatest Charm.

am quite sure that men regard "sweet
simplicity" as the greatest charm in wom-
en- and especially in girls, writes Ethel In
gals in The Ladies' Home Journal. This
does not mean simplicity in the simpering
sense, but an absence of that affected air
of boldness and mannishness which has
lately been assumed by too many really
lovable girls. Then, too, sincerity In ex-
preston is one of the characteristics that
charm men. To be sincere and candid the
girl in society need never be abrupt or

q Dangerous Paper.

4 German genius was very LAch dis
appointed lately when he applied for a
patent on an invention Of his to have
the patent refused, and the manufac-
ture and sale Of his invention forbid
den. It is a paper SO prepared that
any writing on it, made with any known
sort of ink, can be easily and quickly
erased by the simple application OF a
moist sponge. The paper was made OF
the ordinary ingredients, with the ad-
dition of asbestos and parchment glue.
The paper pulp, after rolling. was i'm
mersed for a short time (from six to
twenty-five seconds, according to the
thickness of the paper to be prepared
from it, in concentrated sulphuric acid
at twenty degrees, diluted with ten to
fifteen per cent of water. 1t was then
pressed between glass rollers, passed
successfully through water, ammonia
solution and second time through
water, strongly pressed between rollers
and dried on felt rollers, and finally on
polished and heated metal rollers. The
finished article is said to be precisely
like ordinary paper. Its sale has been
prohibited on account Of the misuse to
which it can be put.

live long unless the throat spasms ceased.

when the hiccough returned. Mr.. Hochkin

wife, who accompanied him from West Haven,
that he proposed to settle up his earthly af-
fairs.

selves, and joined the few other board
ers at breakfast next morning. And
after-when she sent short note IN
response to Mr.. Dillson's card, beg
ging to be excused from receiving him
in. the hotel parlor.
Dillson's chagrin was deep. AS vel
as the egotism of his nature allowed,
be loved the orphan girl whose beauty

to hold in allegiance for him. He had
lost-how, he never exactly knew.
