SCRAMBLE FOR BRIDAL FAvORs.
An Ancient and Curiou. German Wedding
(ustOIn.

In the February Ladies Home Jour

perience as ~ Page at the Berlin
Court" upon the occasion Of double
royal wedding, and Of the preceding
and succeeding festivities. Describing
an ancient and curious custom. he
writes: "And now cater the wedding

ATTRACTIONS OF COURTSHIP.
A Han IL Never so Interesting ~ When
He's Counting.

There was n cynical fellow in tho
middle ages who, under the sarcastic
title, THE Fifteen Joys of Marriage"
wrote an elaborate description of Is
woes, which were likely, one and all, To
distress the foolish man who bad
slipped like fish into the great net
of matrimony, says Lippincotts. IL
is not probable, however. that his lit-
tie treatise turned a single man from
the error of his way. How should II
have, when the great weight and au-
thority Of Mr.. Punch have not been
able in these days TO make any APP
preciable difference in the issue of mar
rage licenses? Yet the genial philos-
opher's advice. which is an everlast-
ing shame TO Mrs Judy, was perfectly
decided The truth is, men Will not
take advice which they do not want,
no matter who offers it. They know
that all the world loves them when
they are lovers, and so the vain crea-
lures will go a-wooing. All the pretty
business of kneeing aud signing is
becoming; when man is counting he
is more interesting than he has ever
been or ever will be again. Whether
il be Jockey who dons his Sunday coat
to propitiate his goddess Of the hay
field, or the fine gentleman who swears
at his valet for Il apeck of dust when
dressing for certain important inter
view. he is worthy Of notice; and even
the frog, when he will a-wooing go,
becomes a hero tit for poetry. The
uneasy period Of courtship tries the
souls of men and shows what stuff they
are made Of and there fore the manners
OF men Of the fifteenth century when
marrying or trying to marry indicate
very fairly the refinement of sociey at
that time.

LARGEST CHURCH ORGAN.
Convict In Sing Sing Prison Now Engaged
In Its Construction.

In Its construction.
A convict in Sing Sing is now engaged
in constructing the largest church or
gan of the reed type yet known. 1t will
contain GS notes more than the largest
standard reed organ of which there is
any record. This instrument, says the
New York Times, was designed ex-
pressly for one of the chapels in the new
administration building and its de
signer's plans and elaborate music
scheme have been examined and APP
proved by some of the best organ MAX
ers in the country.
The designer and builder Of this or
gan is an intelligent young German,
who, after mastering his trade of organ
building, got into bad habits. commit
ted felony and il now serving few
years term in state prison. Warden
Sage learned Of the young convict's
capabilities through some drawings
which he made. and, finding him com
petent and eager to ply his trade, the
warden fitted up small room for his
use, provided the necessary materials
and set him tomork.
This employment caused visible
