UNEXPECTED WEDDING GIFTS.
Some of Then, Were Timely, bat One Was

Not unfrequently marriage ceremony
has an added air Of romance attached 10 il
by the brides resolving from known or
unknown source a wedding press at which
was quito unexpected. One or two such
authentic cases have occurred, when the
lucky wedding parties wore thrown into a
state of great eXcitemontsns result.
a curiously timed present was that
which arrived at the wedding breakfast
held In honor of Lord Ks marriage
with Lady NJ The years before Lord

turned out to bo :. miserable failure. large
ly owing TO the embezzlement OF great
sums of money by tho manager, who es-
capped TO Argentina. Lost sight of alto
gether, he was soon forgotten, and I'm a
year or two Lord x and his fellow di-
rectors in part recovered from the blow.
AS the wedding party sat down to break
fast manservant handed Lord x an
envelope, full almost TO bursting point.
Opening it, the peer was amazed TO find in
1t notes to the value of $40, 900 sent t.
him by the GRANT manager, who, accord
Ing To the private note accompanying tho
money, had made one or two lucky specu-
lative hits in tho Argentine As Lord
ks wealth was not worry great the
wedding present of 9l0, 900 was an ex-
ceedingy welcome one.
Equally curious was the incident which
happened in south London some time ago.
According TO the newspaper reports at the
time, about ~ years ago, u young girl,
daughter of well to do tradespeople, lost
nearly G20, which she had saved out Of n
very liberal allowance. The money was
taken from n drawer in her bedroom, and
the thief was nevor detected On the girls
wedding morn, last year. she received an
anonymous letter, stating that tho writer
was the person who stole her money while
she was yet in her teens and inclosing
bank notes representing as nearly as pos
sible the amount stolen, with compound
interest added. Naturally the bride was
delighted, and the anonymous writer was
forgiven
Not always are these unexpected we'd
ding presents OF this practical and useful
character. At u recent wedding Il bride
groom was very much Disguised by receiv-
ing at tho wedding breakfast Il bulky look
ing parcel which evidently appeared to DO
late present. Unsuspecting evil tho
newly married man handed the parcel to
his wife TO be opened. She opened it and
found therein number of letters in
girls handwriting, apparently love letters,
written TO the bridegroom OF the morning.
Fortunately the affair was joke on the
part of the mans bachelor friends, but it
needed all his reservations of innocence
to calm the natural Indignation of tho
young Washington Star.

Chinese Tactics.

The Chinese soldiers accepted their fate
from the outset, after their first decisive
experience. Resistance to the enemy
never really entered their minds, their sole
preoccupation being to make room for the
enemy as he advanced, while keeping up
some form of fighting. This relation be-
tween the two armies became so we'll I'M
derstood before the close of the war that
the Japanese commanders were wont to
send word to the Chinese that they would
attack such point at such time when
tho Chinese general would place his main
body In neutral position, leaving a
small detachment to fire off some car
tridges for the honor of the flag, and retire.
This incredible procedure is quite in
keeping with Chinese military traditions.

SHERIDAN AND MEADE.
A Quarrel Between Them That Led to the
Crushing of Stuart.

Crushing of Stuart.
Sheridan had been sent for by Meade to
come to his headquarters, and when he
arrived, between II and ~ O'Clock that
morning, very acrimonious dispute took
place between tho two generals Meade
was possessed of an excitable temper.
which under irritating circumstances be-
came almost uDgovernablc He had work
ed himself into towering passion regard
ing the delays encountered i'll tho forward
movement, and when Sheridan appeared
went at him hammer and tongs, accusing
him of blunders and charging him with
not making a proper disposition of his
troops and letting the cavalry block the
advance of the infantry.
Sheridan was equally fiery, and, smart
ing under the belief that he was unjustly
treated, all the Hotspur in his nature was
aroused He insisted that Meade had
created the trouble by countermanding his
(Sheridan's) orders, and that it was this
act which had resulted in mixing up his
troops with the infantry, exposing one
cavalry division to great danger and rem
dering Intellectual all his combinations
regarding the movements of the cavalry
corps. Sheridan declared with great

cavalry any longer under such conditions
and said if he could have matters bis own
way he would concentrate all the cavalry,
move out in force against Stuart's COM
mand and whip it, His language through
out was highly spiced and conspicuously
italicized with explosives.
General Meade came over TO General
Grants tent Immediately after and related
the interview to him. Tho excitement of
the one was in singular contrast with the
calnness of the other. When Meade re-
peated the remarks made by Sheridan,
that no could move out with his cavalry
and whip Stuart, General Grant quietly
observed: "Did Sheridan say that? Well,
he generally knows what he is talking
about. Let him start right out and do it, "
BY O'Clock Sheridan had received his
orders in writing from Meade for the
movement. Early the next morning he
started upon his famous raid in the vicn-
ity of Richmond in rear of the enemy's ar
my and made good his word.-General

1t seems that the sea was made salt In
the beginning as part of the grand de-
sign of the Creator to provide for the sys-
TEN of evolution which has been going on
since the creation. Many distinct species
of living organisms exist in the sea as re-
suit of its salinity, and their remains have
largely contributed to the growth of con-
tinents The three great factors In &C
counting for the system of currents in the
ocean, by which 1t becomes the great heat
distributor of the globe, are changes of
temperature, the winds and salinity. The
last mentioned becomes an important
factor through the immediate and essen
tial differences of specific gravity and con-
sequent differences of level that it pro-
duces In different parts of the ocean
through the action of evaporation and
rainfall. Science Monthly.

Aid In Reipstating the Fourth of July.
Honor and Reverence Our Flag.
General Harrison, in writing upon
"This Country of Ours for The Ladies'
Home Journal, has this to say regarding
Fourth of July and the stars and stripes:
1.-THE old time Fourth of July celebration,
with its simple parades and musters, the
reading of the Declaration and the ora
ton, that more than supplied the lack of
glitter and color in the parade-once the
event OF the year-went out of fashion
We allowed ourselves to be laughed out of
it. 1t may be that tho speaker was boast
full, bat boaster is better than an apollo
gist or pessimist. The day, AS a patriotic
anniversary, was almost lost, and "a family
picnic day or baseball day substituted.
1T is coming back, and we ought TO aid
in reinstating it. The old Declaration has
pulse in it and "a ring to it that does the
soul good. Has your boy ever read il?
Have you-all Of it? | would like our
census takers to be required to get an an
swer to that question.
"The fathers ought not TO be too busy
to give some lessons in patriotism, but, if
they are, let tho mothers-who are moro
busy-see that love of country is Guilt
waited, and that the children are very early
made acquainted with the wise, unselflsh
and heroic characters in our history In
the home and before the school DAYS
come, the feelings should be kindled and
sentiment awakened. Do not be ashamed
TO love the flag or to confess your love of
it. Make much of it; tell its history; sing
of it. 1t now floats over our schools, and
it ought to hang from the windows of all
our homes on all public days. Every man
should uncover when the flag is borne by
in the parade, and every one should rise
when national air is given at concert
or public meeting"
