years has been reported in the last

therefore, to learn that a consultation

How PractIcal Joker Turned tho Tables

40" - kr1cLhcRt JOkOE turned tho Tables
ON Bevy of Pretty Girls.
San Francisco gentleman came to
this city ashnrt time since, and with
his wife luartered at a fashionable
boarding hause. They were very Jolly
couple, and soon made friends with all
the inmates, among whom were q num-
Der of young ladies. The gentleman
WAS, Us one of the young ladies' said, ian
awful tease" and took great delight in
playing all sorts of harmless Jokes on
the young ladies, telling the young men
that marriage was a failure and in otter
ways endearoring to keep them out of
the tolls of matrimony, and, in short,
keeping up an everlasting "joshing."
The young ladies determined to get
even on him when he went away on the
steamer, SO all went down to see him
and his wife off, Now, although he had
been married to his second wife some
two years, they were fine-looking
couple, and might easily be taken for L.
ncwly-wedded pair. To give all the
people on the steamer the idea that they
we're just married and starting out OH
their bridal tour was the way the young
ladies' planned to get even. They pro-
cured a lot of rice and poured it in
every crevice about the baggage of the
couple, and i'll their pockets and among
their wraps, SO that rice dropped from
them at every step.
One of the young ladies, who was ac-
qnainted with the officers of the steam
et, explained the situation TO them and
secured their aid in carrying out the
plot, and also promise that the delu-
sion should be kept up oil the way to
San Francisco. They then scattered
rice about the stateroom of the "bride
and groom" and all over the deck in
front. and when the go-ashorc gong
sounded they just elnptied their vials
ni rice on the ;.ntGItunates and started
ashore.
The man was paralyzed for a moment,
but. catching on" he said: "Wen. if
this is a bridal party it is my duty to
kiss all the ladies'" and he went for
them then and there, and he kissed
them right and left, not hap-hazard,

uproar had not been heard at the steam
or dock since the prcrailroad days. -
The last TO be saluted had escaped
half way down the gaDgway, but the

nearly knocking overheard "thc last
man." who was just coming up, and he
kissed her the hardest of all. "They
sailed away with the fair young bride"
and The young ladies returned to their
boarding house and have ever since
been trying 10 decide who the joke was
on.-Portland Orcponian.

Would Cost tho British Government ST.
100000 to Change Their Pitch.
The British army bands use the high
pitch, the queens regulations running
as follows: "In order to insure uni
formity throughout the reg.mental
bands of the service the instruments
are to be of the same pitch as that
adopted by the Philharmonic society.
The Philharmonic society has recently
decided to adopt the lower pitch, and.
accordingly, the queens regulations
will doubtless have to be amended. 1t
is estimated by competent authority
that the cost of altering the ,instIu-
ments of the army bands to the lower
pitch would amoun6to between e2OO,-
900 and 6 100000; but it is more than
doubtful if any chancellor of the ex-
chequer would spend so large sum for
such a purpose.
