An Unwilling Bride.
From the london Daily News

From the London Daily News.
An illustrative case of THE Woman
Who Wouldn't" is reported from Khar-
koff. A pretty peasant maiden in one of
the suburbs of that Russian city was
recently coerced by her relatives into
consenting to marry a small proprietor
of the neighborhood for whom she had
entertained a special dislike. The we'd
ding party appeared few days ago, be-
fore the altar of one of the city's churches.
The service went on until the officiating
priest put the usual question, "Wilt thou
take this MANI" etc. The girl to this
replied with an emphatic negative, and
all the persuasions of her friends failed
to change her resolution. The wedding
party returned to the house of the brides
parents. who again vainly endeavored to
shake the girls obduracy. The unfortu-
nate and unwilling girl was then soundly
beaten, not only by her parents, but also
by the friends of the bridegroom She
was carried back weeping to church by
the wedding party, and the marriage SER
vice was recommended. Again came the
crucial question to the bride, and once
more the unhappy girl, with tears and
bushes, resolutely exclaimed: NO; a
thousand times, MOI" and appealed to the
protection of the priest, which was read
lily granted.

From the Philadelphia Telegraph.
Two men matched coins for the fare or
a street car and the man who won said;
Il have paid very few fares this sum

tenn IS correct bat many experiments have
satisfied me that h is. l always ask the
other man 10 match me. and siXty-fve

the ODDS are even. In reality they are
against the man who matches and In
favor of the man who is matched. This
doesn't hold when the coins are spun on
table. Ii is good only when each man
holds mis- coin In his hand Calling coins
IS also an easy game TO win. Three men
out OF five will call heads / always hold

"A new way to return change to Gus

"A new way to return change to GUS
toners has been patented recently. The
principle is simple A plate of white
porcelain is pivoted in a round bowl of
a slightly larger diameter than the plate
The bowl, as well as the feet, and the
two cups, are made of nickel. After the
cashier has deposited the change on the
white porcelain plate all the receiver has
to do is to slightly raise the cup nearest
to him, when the white porcelain dish will
incline toward him, and the coins thereon
fall through a slot provided for the pur-
pose. and through the cup, which the re-
ceiver of the coin raises, into the palm.
