A Cannon Balls Flight to tho Moon

Astronomers may use long strings
of figures, but there is nothing that
gives us moro graphic idea of the
immense distances which separate
us from tho celestial bodies than tho
old illustration in which the fight
of the cannon ball is made the basis
of calculation. 1t has been shown
by the mathematicians that a ball
fired from modern great gun"
would, if it could keep up its initial
velocity, reach the moon, which is
240, 900 miles away, in II days. That
is a long time, indeed, especially
when we consider the fact of the
wonderful rare of sreed with which

Oh, How They Hurt.

Neuralgia pains are often so acute,
that thepoor sufferer becomes, almost,
frenzied with the intensity of the pain.
Salvation Oil will instantly relieve and
eflectually cure neuralgia, so thero
is no reason why a moments pain
should be endured. Mr.. Jacob Klein,
1896 Main ST., Evansville, Ind, writes:
"My wife suffered from neuralgia for
seven years and since she used Saliva
ton Oil, she has not had n spell. 1
think it is the best linimcnt have ever
tried, and I would not be without a
bottle of it in the house. l had the
rheumatism for five years and had tried
great many liniments, and must say
that Salvation Oil did me more good
than any other remedy" Salvation
Oil is sold everywhere for 25 cents.

QUAKER MARRIAGES.
pow Members of tho Society of Friends
We'd Each other.

pow Members of tho Society of Friends
We'd Each other.
A young man and woman in this
lity belonging to tho Society OF
friends, who have certified their i'll.
tention of marriage at the city hall,
nre having to undergo the regular
form which the society imposes by
waiting for the approval of the
monthly meeting before they can he
married. The first stage in the pro-
ceedings is for them both to appear
at the monthly meeting of the SO.
ciety, which is the only time that
any business is done, and make
known their intention. They both
stand up before the meeting, and
the man says: "With divine per-
mission and Friends appreciation, I
declare my intention to take this
woman (and he calls her name) to
be my wife," and then they sit
down. But the sanction of the So
ciety for the marriage requires more
than this formality. 1t is never
granted unless both parties are
Friends, and so, if one of the young
people is out of the fold, they have
to be married without tho formal
approval of the society.
When the approval is secured, the
couple marry themselves. Tho cere-
mony is appointed by the society to
take place at some regular meeting,
or else at one specially appointed.
In the latter case it may be at n
house where any one of the society
has the right to be present.
But tho most interesting ceremony
is that which takes place in a regu-
larly assembly of the society at the
meeting house. Any ono who has
been to u Quaker service knows tho
fashion of tho meeting house, with
its high seats in front, facing the
rest of the meeting. Tho elders
usually sit there, but when a couple
of young people are going to get
married they have to occupy this
conspicuous place, and have to stand
UP bravely, without minister or eld-
er, and marry themselves
An old Quaker minister who said
he had seen six couples stand up in
this way before the congregation
was asked why the young people
had to do it alone, and he said it
was q matter that did not concern
an intermediate person, but rested
between themselves and God. Then
no described how the young man
would stand up in that high pcrchcd
place in the meeting house alone
with his bride, and, taking her hand,
say, I'm the presence of God and
this assembly, l take thee A. b., to
be my wife, promising to be unto
thee an affectionate and loving hus-
band until the hand of the Lord by
death shall separate us. " The bride
then speaks in n similar fashion.
At tho end of this ceremony n
minister prays or speaks, and then,
when there is q pause and tho spirit
moves no one else. the meeting is
adjourned. AT the close of the meet
ing tho marriage certificate, which
is made of parchment, is brought
forward, and any one can sign it. A
special law sanctions this marriage
ceremony. This document, which
amounts to the legal sanction of the
marriage, is greatly priced among
the descendants of Friends, so much
so that the children often have sim
liar marriage certificates made for
themselves though they may have
been married outside of the society.
