Mr.. Starkweather now lives IN his pretty

ed to them. II bore the name Of
well-known florist on the cover and
was daintily tied up with white satin

not feared to hurt the feelings Of some
tactless friend by refusing the gift they
would not have taken the box into the

emily the bride decided that it would
be better to take the flowers from the
box and wear them. Then the pretty
little bride, trying hard not to look
conscious, held the big box in her lap
and united the silken fastenings. As
she undid the last bow the cover
jumped OF with a report loud enough
to attract the attention OF the whole
Pullman, and out from bed Of flowers
sprang a rosy-cheeked cupid, stretch

a species of jumping jack. To the pas
sengers on the car the joke seemed
funny, but the poor little bride broke
down In a storm of hysterical tears--

Nrhs strides which the movement

following figures. which have references
to the number Of women in the United
States In each profession in 1880, the
figures in parentheses being the cor
responding figures for 1870. In 1880
there were Ass female doctors 6zOI

city, and some screens, made OF this
glass have recently been placed on
sale at one of the local stores. They
are probably the first to be viewed In
this city. The coating is placed on one
side OF the glass Just the same as the
silyering on the mirror and has the
same properties Of rejecting the rays Of
light and color. The difference. how
ever, is that when looked at from the
back the coating is entirely transpar-
ent. To one sitting indoors the view
without is not obstructed in the least,
but a pedestrian peering into she win
dow or doorway is greeted by bis own
reflection. The glass is used largely in
lieu Of screens where privacy Is de-
sired without obstruction Of light from
the outside or barring the vision Of
those inside. II was introduced with
effect first in a New York club window.
Behind It the chappies could sit and
ogle the girls and view the passing
throng without being themselves OBJ
served. Its use was also resorted to In
cafes, where II offered privacy to those
lounging inside, while the latter had

doubtedly more prosaic than dying for

It's possible that one reason for the
animals extraordinary growth lies In
the fact that it has never left the farm
On which 1t was raised, and has fed
always on the rich grass for which the
west is noted.
This, too, may account for the fact
that the animal is still increasing In
size and weight.

grown over two feet and q half In
height and is considerable broader and
longer.
