energy, and accomplished IL with marked
success, as a survey OF the city will show.

traits of Mckinley and Hobart were Sc
cured ana distributed free for the decora-
tion of windows, and large number of
United States flags were secured from the
War and Navy Departments. and loaned to
citizens for decoration purposes. Very
pretty ornamentation was decided for
the cornices surmoun;ing the public view
ing stands along the line of parade, and
the approaches to Pennsylvania avenue at

The Man. tho wife. III. Dre...

A man stood in the middle OF an aisle in q
Broadway dry goods store one day last week.
He looked disconsolatc. At a nearby counter
his vito was making purchases. Suddenly
the mans face lighted up and he took q step
who had Appeared around a counter.
"Hello!" he exclaimed, has your wife
brought you to this, tool"
Yes" said the other man. Il told her she
could have q new dress, and nothing would do
but l must come and pick out all the material.
She's done all the selecting so far and the only
time l made an objection l got sat on"
Say" said the first man, assuming q conf
dental air, you've been married five yeats
and I've been married only Que. Now just tell
me II anything like this ever happened to you.
My wife wanted a dress, a kind OF potato sack
stun, Which is Transparent enough, to make it
worth while TO. put expensive silk under it.
She bought all the material and u lot OF ribbons.
Then sho hired q uressmhkcr and for two DAYS
said to me: You must come down to tho store
with me this morning. We underestimated
q little on my dress and must get some moro
ribbon l came. and tho first thing. she did
green ribbon. 1t took my breath away. When
/ recovered l said: Did you underestimate that
muchf oh. that's not ALL she said. 'We
must get twelve Yards more Of black braid and
Well. l got into an argument with her. main
tanning that 1t was impossible for anybody to
underestimate eighty yards on ribbon, let
alone the other things. She won't speak to me-
you needn't pay for it.; mother WILL Now,
isn't 1t absurd for anybody to say that she
undercstimatcd eighty yards of ribbonf =
1T does seem foolish said the other man,
but for heavens sake when the dress is done
don't say you ant imagine where all the rib
boa is. Youscan bet it's all there"

From the Youths Companion.
A pretty story OF how Henry NJ. Stanley wooed
and won Miss Dorothy Tenant. though coming
20 US from private sources. has been made suf-
~iicicntly public to avert the charge OF undue

The great explorer went to Africa again, and

The effort to stop the good old custom Of
throwing rice at weddings has proved a
fixture. Nearly two years ago the ~anti-rice cru
Bado began In Boston, and for q time the gc!a-
tino flakes that were substituted were used
almost entirely. The chief rgument against
rice was the danger that lay in the indiscrimi-
nate throwing Of small, hard particles. Serious
accidents have resulted frequently from 1t. a
notable case being that of u young woman In this
city, who got one of the particles in her eye and
lost the sight OF 1t. Another young woman al
most choked to death on rice which struck in
her open mouth. Yet bridal parties are show
cred with rice nowadays just as they have been
for years. The ~anti-ricc agitation was short
lived, and now that II has been crushed out en-.
tirely, people seem to be trying to make up for
tho lapse by more elaborate indulgence in the
old custom. At a recent wedding breakfast in
this city q young electrician, who Is something

bali, filed with rice, and 1t stood In the centre
Of the table, and was so completely covered with
flowers that 1t. was not noticed by any of tho
gu".ts. BY an ingenious arrangement of
springs the ball could be broken and the rice
scattered in every direction by merely touching
an electric push button. which the young man
had fixed In the floor right under his seat. At

NOt long aItcr ner HUSBAND dropped INTO an

wife's experience on curcuma seeds. The drug.

quietly. " There must be some mistake about

So the pursuit OF curcuma seed was dropped,
and he carried home some ground curcuma, and
his wife made the chow-chow and 1t WAS lovely.
Now the point OF this is that the curcuma root
Is the part used. 1t grows in China, Japan. Cev-
lon and East India countries in general. and is
Tic Orient. When 1t is dried 1t has a taste like
ginger root and is consumed in great quantities
by the natives Of the countries where 1t grows
as a condiment. II is perfectly harmless and is
used entirely in this country to give the bright
yellow color to chow.chow and pickles in general.
1t Is a tuberous plant and is wholly propagated
from the root, which makes 1t unnecessary to
save the seeds. which are few and entirely use
less. This is why they would cost 81 an ounce IL
they could be obtained.
