Poisonous Earth.

Some curious facts have been
brought to light by NJ. Danteo in his
investigations and experiments re-
lating 10 the arrow poison employed
by the natives of the New Hebrides.
The most remarkable, it would
seem, of these facts is that the sub
stance contains neither vegetable
poison nor serpent virus, bat con-
sists of peculiar kind of earth i'm
pregnated with vegetable matter
taken from certain marshy places
and containing Pasteur's vibrion
septique, or bacillus of malignant
9dema and also the bacillus of tet-
anus. IT the arrows have been kept
q long time or have been much ex-
posed to the sun, the vibrion sep
tiQue may have been destroyed, the
danger being then from tetanus. M.
Dantec states that when the arrows
have been freshly prepared and the
Vibrion septique is still active a
wound from them causes death in a
guinea pig from septicemia in from
~ to Is hours. Tetanus, which
takes longer than that period to de-
velop, does not under the circum.
stances named show itself. -New

PECULIAR WELSH WEDDINGS.
Tho Bridegroom Had to Work For a
Bride After Winning Fer.

| The Bridegroom Had to Work For q
Bride After Winning Fer.
a wedding as it was customarily
arranged in Wales some 40 years
ago was an interesting affair.
In those days, as soon as the young
people had n2Go up their own
minds, before they could speak of
wedding the consent of the brides
parents had to be obtained. This ar
rangement or rather consent, was
called the Gofyn-y-ferch and could
by no means be done by letter, a
written document being considered
very bad taste.
A good deal Of formality surround
ed the Gofyn.y-ferch. and it was not
to be omitted even when the parents
were known to be willing. The &C
copied lover had many anxiet1es,
and among them, the necessity of
which will be seen by and by, was
the pace of his best horse and the
pace and mettle of his friends
horses.
AT last the wedding day dawned.
The bride was dressed early, but
over her fnery she wore q long
cloak, bpttoned all the way down to
the ground, while g hood entirely
covered her head and face. In the
course of the morning the bride
groom sent some OF his friends to
seek cut the bride Arrived at her
fathers house, they found the door
locked, and before they could be ad-
mitted they had to recite some poet
ry. Sometimes the fair lady's whir,s
and caprices made the delay in un-
locking the door very long. When
the door was open, the bride was
still to be found.
She had taken refuge in some OBJ
scure corner of the house, where she
was crouching out of sight, com
pletely covered with her long cloak.
This game of hide and seek was
sometimes so prolonged that when
the bride was found it was too late
to be married that day, bnt this did
not happen often. When the bride
was really found, there was a great
mounting of horses. She, in her
modest cloak, was seated behind her
father, and all the company set off
as fast as their steeds could go-all
except the brides mother, who sell
dom, if ever, attended her daugh-
ter's wedding.
Up hill and down dale, over
smooth and rough ground, the
mountain ponies galloped, and shame
on the bridegroom if he and his
friends did not reach the church be-
fore the bride. Service over, the
bridegroom had still to keep guard
over his wife, for in one country
parish, if not in many, it was the
custom for friends of the young
man to wait outside the church un-
til the service was over. When the
happy couple appeared, the bride
was seized and placed behind one
of the men, who galloped off with
her.
Naturally she was hotly pursued
by the bridegroom, who, of course,
after an exciting chase, eventually
captured her. When at last the wife
was secured, she took her seat be-
hind her husband and on his own
horse, and tho company rode off
again to the brides old home. Ar
rived at the house, all the party
drank the health of bride and bride
groom out of the same pewter.

Which is Of Interest to the Maccabees
On Saturday last the executive com
mittee of the Maccabees, consisting o.

Port Huron, were in the city consider
ing the claim of Mrs. Catherine Fill

The Order. but who forfeited his right
TO membership therein few month:
before his death, by becoming stock
holder in brewery.
The case has been to the Suprem'
Court several times, and has been sent
back to the officers each time; the cour
claiming that all resources within thu
Order itself must be first exhausted foI
settlement.
What the officers want is for the cour
to rule on the proposition whether th'
fact of persons owning stock in i.
corporation makes him principal IL
the business. 1t is farreaching
question. and the supreme court hes
tates about deciding il, and takes tn

The officers say they stand ready t.
pay over the money, in fact would rath
er do it than not, but they must obey
the law of the Order unless the Court
shall construe it to be wrong. The.

Presidents and Humor.

Washington was the gravest man of the whole
nation. The tradition OF him IL that he was
never known TO laugh and seldom seen 70 smile.
Boston Herald.
If there is such a tradition in Boston,
it is at variance with lots Of history, and
also with "reminiscences which men who
knew George Washington left behind
them. The Father of His Country was
not devoid Of humor, and there were &C.
casions when he INDUCED in fun. The
Bos Herald describes him rs gravity
emb"'!.ed," a description which is in
complete, and which can not be applied
10 all the hours Of his life. He was
among the noblest of mankind, and he
had "a good share Of virtuOus enjoyment.
In running down the line of presidents
from Washington To his more recent sue
cessors, the Boston Herald says:
ANDREW Johnson could not recognize
humor when he saw It, "
We need only remark that our Boston
contemporary could not have been ac-
quainted with the North Carolina and
Tennessee tailor who became president
Of the United States.
The Boston Herald remarks further
that President Garfield was a man who
'had no. taste for fun. 1t Is certain
that our Boston contemporary never
