clergyman of this city. "The bridegroom
was decent young farmland and hap

point where / asked him, wilt thou
have this woman?' ETC., he made no re-

him and then he stammered: Mister.
will you say them words over again? I'm
a leetle deaf.
81 repeated the question in stentorian
tones, while was conscious Of the poor
ly suppressed merriment Of the bystand-
ers. When the man caught the import
of the words. he looked at me in sur
prise and then blurted out: You bet
will! That what I'm here for. Under
such circumstances it was hard TO pre-
serve my dignity, but l did the best
could and pronounced them man and

Then the groom gave me a genuine

Mister, what's the damage?' Nothing,

One on Amos j. Cummings.

A gossiper in the Washington Post
tells this ctcry on Amos j. Cummings,
which he says was told to him by Amos
himself: During the last campaign Mr..
Cummings tried to say as little about
free silver as possible, though he was
running for congress as free silver
man. Secure in the friendship Of every
policeman and letter carrier in his dis.
trict, he got on swimmingly till al
most the very last speech he made. 1t
was in great hall and he had large
audience. He talked about national
honor, and the flag, and the equality Of
man, and the rights Of the masses, with
a twist or two Of the British lions tail
by way of variety 1t was great speech.
Suddenly it was interrupted by man
down in the front row. "Tell us about
the ratio!' he cried, and he pronounced
the first syllable TO rhyme with hash.
Mr.. Cummings paused, perplexed. Just
then his eye caught the eye of an espe.
cially friendly policeman. No words
were exchanged, but an instant later the
strong hand of the law descended OH the
collar of the inquiring man. He was
yanked clear out Of his seat and hustled
to the door. "I'll have you understand"
said the policeman as he jerked him
down the aisle, that we'll have no such
language used here.

Poisoning by Phosphorus.

The attention Of scientists has been
called to the rapid increase in the num-
Der OF cases of PHOSPHORUS poisoning
among workers in match factories. I'm.
less the ventilation and general condi-
lions are of the best the workmen inhale
large quantities of crude phosphorus and
after certain stage rapidly develop dis
ease traceable directly to this deleterious
substance. The action Of the poison is
rather slow at first, but once it becomes
dlffused through the system it is very
difficult TO eradicate. In fact, it is be-
lieved that when phosphorus has once
taken firm hold of the physical forces
1T is impossible TO eliminate it and that
the conditions of decay have begun.
Among other notable peculiarities it has
been remarked that the bones of persons
saturated with phosphorus are much
more easily fractured than those of other
people. Efforts are to be made to i'm.
prove the sanitary condition and venti.
lation of the factories and also to forbid
the use of white phosphorus in the prep.

Loie Fuller has never worn a corset

beautiful, firm. Her gowns are fashion.

Her modesty is possibly her greatest

William Morris and Music.

Iure the world that William Morris had
no musical sense. AS a matter of fact,

beauty in sound Gas in everything else)

the pianoforte or the squalling and
shouting Of the average singer. When i
told him that the Amsterdam choir
brought over here by NJ. de Lange had
discovered the secret of the beauty of
medieval music and sang in with sur
passing excellence, he was full of regret
for having missed il, and the viol con-

greatly. Indeed. once during his illness,
when NJ. Dolmetsch played him some
really beautiful music on really beau
tiful instrument, he was quite overcome
by it.
