ing dog. Shooting was good, and from
each of the six couples the sound Of
guns being fired notified their friend,
of their success, for they were only G

Train NOihea.

A method of preventing the noise
made by trains when passing over iron
bridges has been devised by German
engineer named Boedecker, locality not
stated. He puts decking of IA inch
planks between the cross girders, resting
on three inch timbers laid ON the bottom
f1anges, while on the planks double
layer of felt is placed, fixed to the YER
teal web of the cross girder. At the
connections with the girder timber
cover joint is put OH felt, and two hook
ed bolts connect the whole firmly to the
bottom fiange. Four inches of Stag gravel
cover the decking, which is inclined to-
ward the center of the bridge for drain
age purposes, and layer Of felt is laid
between the planks and the timbers upon
which they rest, and the ironwork in
contact with decking and ballast is as
phalted. The decking weighs 600 pounds

CURIOUS MARRIAGE CUSTOMS.
Among Dwarfs of Andaman Island Cor
tracing Parties Climb q Tree.

Among DWorIn OF An0Rman Island Gone
tracing Parties Climb Tree.
Some Of the customs peculiar to
courtship and marriage among the race
Of dwarfs who inhabit the Andaman is
land are, according to NJ de Quatre-
FACES, who recently published book
called 1.-The Pygmies" about these
people, very peculiar. Not the least re-
markable of them is the procedure of
courtship. The young man who has
made his choice addresses himself to the
parents, who never refuse, but send the
girl into the forest, where, before day,
she conceals herself. The young man
must find her.
If he does not succeed, he must re-
nounce all claim to her. The wedding
ceremony Of these people is equally
curious. NJ. Quatrefages thus describes
1t: 1.-The two parties climb two flexible
trees growing near each other, which
an old man then makes to bend toward
each other. When the head of the man
touches the head of the girl, they are
legally married. "
Turning from Asia to Europe, we
find very curious custom prevailing
in Roumania. Among the peasantry of
this country, when girl attains q mar
riageable age her trousseau, which has
in the meanwhile been carefully woven.
spun and embroidered by her mother
and herself. is placed in painted
wooden box.
When young man thinks of asking
to be allowed to pay his attentions to
the girl he is at liberty first to open the
box, which is always placed i'll con-
venient position. and examine the trous-
seau. If he is satisfied with the quantity
and quality of the dowry. he makes
formal application for the girls hand,
but if not he is quite at liberty to retire.

Cycling and Baseball.

An exchange says some very true things
with reference to the alleged rivalry of
cycling and baseball. The substance of
the article is that there is plenty of room
for both of these popular pastimes. "There
is no reason" it says, why tho sudden
rise in popularity of cycling should injure
baseball. The majority of riders are re-
cruited from those who did not play ball.
Ball players who have learned to ride will
use their wheels to go to and from their
ball grounds and that is about all 1t will
amount to. Tho wheel will help baseball

AT the Roeiler building, 213 215, PIT
Third street south, all day yesterday
there was the greatest activity and in

neapolis bicycle show, in which nearly
everything pertaining to wheels Of all
kinds and descriptions and grades,
could be seen and heard eXtolled to the
skies. There were thirty exhibitors
and about forty-five different makes
OF wheels on exhibition. Bicycle trunks,
bicycle accident insurance and bicycle
everything including clothes, were
there to be learned of. One man was
exhibiting an umbrella holder for BIZ
cycle dudes. He also had a saddle that
looked like the handle of an ld-fash-
ioned spade.
The exhibits were very tastefully ar
ranged, and attracted many visitors
Perhaps at no other place in the North
west could would-be purchaser see
the different makes of wheels and COM
pare them so easily as at the Roeller
building. Every feature of wheeldom
IS there fully exploited and a liberal
education in that line is to be had for
the patience to wait and listen.
The exhibition contains what, to
many people. will be a novel sight 1t
is the only sextette ever built in this
country. 1t will be run on Nicollet

beginning today. The machine will of
necessity run a little faster than the
ordinary machines on the street, and in
