Not So Easily Deceived.

1t is ughable-and sometimes sad,
TOTO see the devices adopted by the
people who take a pitcher or can to
the saloon for beer.
A man has no way TO hide it, and he
is generally the most sensitive on tho
subject. Sometimes he will put it in a
paper. Often he will take out a large
bottle and stuff it in his pocket, and
saw one man hide a pitcher with his
broad brimmed hat and saunter away
from a saloon bareheaded.
Women use their aprons as covers.

didn't make her eIrand all the more
conspicuous by this means.

a Bad Beginning.

Here is a story told by city curate,
TO whom the experience happened on
the occasion of his first wedding. The
rector had told him to be careful to fill
up tho register with the correct ages OF
the bride and bridegroom. The cere-
mony having been gone through, the
happy couple, who were of mature age,
adjourned to the vestry TO sign the reg
lister.
The bridegroom, when asked his age,
gave it at once as 90, but the bride,
with the modesty natural TO the sex
merely said she was Of full age, while
when demonstrated with she pertly told
tho curate that il was not the first time
she had gone through the ceremony, and
she meant TO insist upon her rights.
Finally, rs the bride remained OBJ
durate the bridegroom, thinking to put
matters straight, told the curate the age.
Far from serving as the oil on the wa.
tiers, this only made matters worse, fol
the bride flew into passion and insist
ed upon the bridegroom telling her how
he knew her age.

dear, was the quiet rejoinder
And what right had you, pray, &c
take such n liberty before we were mar
ried?" And the two, who had come t
church as affectionate as n pair of turtle
doves, left in pet The curate whC
was responsible is still wondering what
was the final upshot of this unfortunate

MARRIAGE CUSTOMS.
Radical Changes That Have Taken Place
In England.

Marriage customs have changed ev-
erywhere with the advance of civiliza-
ton. Angla SaXons in ancient times, it
Is said, used to capture their wives by
force from their fathers or their hus-
bands, it did not matter which.
This was before Augustine came to
preach Christianity Then purchase was
more common than capture, although
the latter seems to have been frequent
enough to the reign of Ethelbert to need
regulation by law BY this law man
might rvn away with woman. provid-
ed he G:terWard paid her previous own
err. be he father or husband. 90 shillings.
If il was husband who had thus been
deprived of his wife, the woman's cap
tor had not only to pay him the fine,
but also to buy him another wife. In
any case the stolen woman belonged to
her captor.
If a man had purchased his bride in
the days of Ethelbert and afterward
concluded he had paid too much for her,
it was lawful for him to return her 20
her former owner and claim again the
purchase price, provided that he had
not previously expressed satisfaction by
making the bride present on the morn
ing after the wedding.
The next step was the foster lien, .
when the bride price was paid on the
day of espousal and was supposed &c
compensate the parent for the cost OF
bringing up his daughter. 1t seems,
however, that this soon fell into disre'
pute, as there was no law against the
fathers engaging his daughter to nu'
merous suitors, taking from each the
foster lien," and, of course, cheating
all but one on the wedding day, which,
at that time, was only the day Of be-
trothal, when the suitor gave WED
or pledge for the future performance OF
his contract. If the sutton did not claim
his bride within two years after the
wedding day, he forfeited all right Il
her and to whatever money or goods ht
had paid for her. If the woman or bel
father broke their promises, the father
had to give the sutton four times al
much as the sutton had already paiC
him.
AS civilization advanced the bride
price was given to the woman hersel
and became her dowry, while nova
days tho tables are frequently turned
and the bride settles the money on he
| husband. kate Fields Washington.

writing on shells the name of the too

against him, he was sent into exile, not
because he had done anything, but for
fear he might do something. He staid
away from five to ten years, then re-
turned and resumed his standing as u
citizen without loss of property or rep

and went into exile. where he was soon
accused of reasonable correspondence

"As hold-over member and the pro-
poser of a plan for adding a new
committee to the number now pro-
vided for in the House rules, DR..
Avery will have a good show for Sc
curing an important Craftsmanship
in the next House. When the fifty
third congress was organized, the
doctor offered an amendment provid-
inc for the creation of a committee
on public health. The proposition,
while generally favored by republi-
can members, was defeated by the
opposition Of the democratic major
ity, but Mr.. Avery proposes to offer
it again when the fiftyfourth con
gress organizes next December.
If it is adopted, as he is hopeful
it will be, DIR. Avery himself is
liable to be named as chairman OF
the new committee, position which
will probably entitle him to clerk
and messenger at liberal salary
and commodious committee room
His status as physician with a ser
vice of II years on the Michigan
State board of health, during eight

nexed to Arcadia. MIR. Delavan living
in the territory set out lost his position.
1t was the intention of his friends to
tender him the nomination at the next
annual meeting, but at that time a
labor organization had sprung up and
in order TO be successful they came In
to the republican caucus and noml'
mated their man leaving the republl-
cans aud Mr.. Delavan's friends out IN
the cold. Since that time, Mr.. Dela-
vans name has not been brought uI
until this spring. | would like my
friends to give him their support as he
has made good officer, been success
flu candidate and is a stalwart repub
lican. Hoping my friends will agree
with me that he has better Claim
