NOT A FASHIONABLE WEDDING.
The Groom's Clothes Were Badly

The Groom's Clothes Were Badly
Shrunken and the Bride Muddy.
There was time in Oregon when the
male inhabitants mostly wore buckskin
trousers, because there was no other
material available for garment me king
Oregon's climate, OF course, is damp,
and buckskin once wet shrinks fright +
fully in drying. This reminds an Ord
pioneer, says the Covallis (Ore.) Times
of the first wedding he ever went to in
Oregon. He said: ut occurred in tbs
winter of 1s45 at Oregon City. The bride
walked two miles through mud TO get
to the church. She was arrayed IL
white, and when she appeared in church
her gown was sadly bedraggled. The
groom wore buckskin pants. Once they
had been wet, but at the wedding they
were dry. They bagged at the knee,
until there was room inside for q swarIr
Of bees, but they failed TO reach hi,
shoetops. They ended somewhat about
the calf Of the legs, and the groom wore
no socks. II was strange costume for
the chief contractor at wedding, but
the groom was undaunted. His narnt
was Sharp, and the name Of the brids
was Edes- Though they were weddec
in unsightly suits. il is presumed tha,
they lived happily until the husband

BECOMING POPULAR IN EUROPE.
Demand for American Hardwoods
Steadily Growing on the Continent.

steadily Growing on the Continent.
A significant fact in the industrial
world of Europe is the steadily increas-
ing demand for hard woods that are in
dlgenous to the soil of America. AS
may be supposed, oak leads the foreign
shipments, although tulip. poplar, ash,
gum and black walnut, whenever a good
quality can be secured, are in some de-
mand. European consumers like the
quality Of American oak, and, since it
is known to be plentiful here, it will
probably be in increasing demand. Cot
tonwood has been shipped to Germany
in considerable quantities, where cheap
wood is required for furniture, and
other uses. Much of this lumber is
forwarded from New Orleans, and since
a great part of the oak, ash, poplar, cot.
tonwood and other timbers demanded
by the foreign market is in the south
ern states, it is not improbable that
lumber for, foreign markets will be
largely shipped in future from the gulf
ports. In speaking of this matter the
Northwestern Lumberman says that
the European market requires lum Der
cut Of exact thickness, and of accurate
length, trimmed SO as to have the butts
square and true. Space for piling in the
yards of the old world is an object, SC
that random, uneven lengths are objec-
tionable, and, since the foreign buyer
insists that he shall have just what he
bargains for, quality should be strictly
attended to.

GILA MONSTERS vENoMoUs.
A Savant Who Has Satisfied Himsel
That Their Bite Is Deadly.

A Savant Who Has Satisfied Himself
That Their Bite Is Deadly.
Prof. John Van Denburg lately de
livered an interesting lecture at the
Academy of Sciences upon the subject
of the Gila monster. A good-sized audi
ence was present, says the San Fran
cisco Call.
1T has become common suppostion
for years." said the lecturer, that the
bite of Gila monster was as poison
Gus as that of ratuesnake, but many
of the scientists denied this Numerous
eminent scientific men stated that from
actual experience they had demon
strated that the bite was harmless. One
of these, DR.. Schubert, had himself been
bitten by one of the reptiles, and, be.
sides the pain occasioned by the ordi.
nary bite of an animal, no i'll results
followed"
The lecturer then stated that he had
demonstrated that the saliva of the
Gila monster was poisonous. It's bite
If the teeth of the lower jaw penetrated
the skin. 1t was the upper jaw OF the
reptile which sank into the flesh of DR.
Schubert, and as the secretion of the
glands Of the upper jaw was harmless
the doctor lived.
The speaker said that he had injected
The saliva of both the upper and lower
glands into pigeons, and in every case
where that from the lower jaw was in
jected the victim lad died in a short
time. He showed why so many ami
mails which are bitten by the poisonous
reptile live The ducts which lead from
the glands to the mouth open between
the lower lip and the gum. For the
saliva to enter a wound it must be
forced up from the lip TO the teeth. and
thence into the wound Thus it is hard
for the poisonous fluid TO reach the
blood, even if the victim is bitten by
the lower teeth.

THE PRESIDENT AND HIS SALARY
Can He Live at Ease on the Income
from His SavinGa?

IIOAh NE SaVlheSSs
81 shall not attempt to answer the
question: How much of his salary does
the president expend?" writes ex-Presi-
dent Harrison in an article in the
Ladies' Home Journal, on "The Social
Life of the President" But those who
think he can live at his ease after his re-
tirement on the income from his saw
ings should take account of several
things: First, that the net income
from safe investments does not exceed
four per cent; second, that the amount
invested in a home yields no income
and third, that he must have private
secretary, for his mail will be so large
that he cannot deal with it himself A
son of one of our most eminent presi.
dents who had lost all of his means told
me that it was pathetic to see his father
who was in i'll health, laboring beyond
his strength to answer the letters that
came to him. But if the president re,
tains a fair measure of health he viii.
take care of himself. If he was ever
capable of directing the affairs of the
nation he may be trusted to administer
his own business; and if he has won the
esteem of his fellow-citizens, and ha:
rightly valued it, he will not barter il
for riches. To any vocation from which
a man may be suitably called to the
presidency he may suitably return"

Peculiar Instance of Foresight In

One day in October, 1888, Lady A
living in Rue du Bel-Respiro, Paris,
found that she had been robbed of a
sum of $500 francs, says the Arena
She notified the commissary of police,
who instituted a search and questioned
the servants, but discovered nothing.
Lady A when eEGmeratlng her sefy-
ants begged the commissary to exclude
from his suspicious her second valet de
chambre, youth of 10, very cookbook

named ''le Petit" not on account of his
stature, for he was rather tall, but foI

iarity which his good qualities had won
for him.

IN HONOR OF WOMEN.
A Pretty Custom That Prevails In q
Swiss Carton.

Swiss Canton.
tits interesting to note how two small
communities conspire TO do honor to
their womankind on account of services
rendered in days long past, says the
New York Journal. The Swiss canton
of Argovie yearly celebrates a fete
which dates back to the year 1712, when
Seigneur de Hallwyl raised regimen,
of amazons to assist some Bernese
troops who were hard pressed by the
Catholic cantons. On a given Sunday
the women Of the commune of Meister-
schwanden and Fahrwangen assume
lordship over the masterful sex. The
married women and girls issue invita-
tions to their husbands and friends and
the whole community assemblies at a
village inn. The men who are here en-
tertained to tea, beer and cakes. are
Obliged to wait till their hostesses ap-
pear from an adjoining room to choose
them as partners for the dance.
The women shelter and chaperon
their guests throughout the evening,
and when dancing is done they escort
the poor, weak men back to their own
firesides. A pretty custom, deserving
to be perpetuated.
Another small community on the
Isle of Man evinces its gratitude in a
more pratical manner still. On one occa.
sion an invading force seemed likely &c
