His Wedding Announcement.
From ne Catcago Times. Herald,

When n man scte married away from home no

was thoroughly impressed with his study In this
respect, and SO he hunted up the nearest tele-
graph office and set about TO compose the mes
sage telling OF his good fortune.

SOAP BUBBLEs sTRAHGELY MADE
A Remarkable Scene witnessed In tho Penn
sylyania ali Region.
FtoM the ga CiLu Bh:.nrd,

About half n mile above Franklin, up the Eric
Railroad track, Is TO be seen one OF the most
curious sights in this country and one which the
reporter would not believe existed until yestcr-
day, when hc went there with u friend.
Approaching u small, sluggish stream, wo were
surprised to see rising from the surface of the
water u number of bubbles, which glisiened in
the sun. like glass. 1t was u beautiful sight,
The iridesccnt spheres revolving swiftly after
the manner OF soap bubbles, tloated rapidly up.
ward, some breaking ut u height OF ton or
twenty feet, Others soaring away above the tree
tops and out of sight, resembling, more than
anything else, gorgeous toy balloons. These
bubbles were all sizes, from an inch in diameter
to more than n foot. They were apparently
much stronger and a great deal more brilliant
than ordinary soap bubbles.
A gas line and an oil line had passed under the
run ut this point, within "a few inches OF each
other, and in each pipe was IA small leak. Tho
digging and %retllling' OF the trenches had made A
dam which held IA few barrels OF stagnant water.
There was some Rlkali in the muddy bottom,
which, In combination with the oil, formed
saponulc, IA Kind of soap. This, while not being a
perfect soap, was sufficiently saponaccOus and
cohesive 10 make beautiful bubbles when
churned by the escaping gas. The fact that the
bubbles were full of gas caused them to ascend
more swiftly and the presence of the oil made
them more brilliant, many colored and unusu-
ally beautiful. The bubbles arc rising con-
stantly and can be seen by any one who desires
to take a walk out to where they are.
The strength Of these bubbles may be imagined
from the fact that small twigs, leaves, sc, had
been floating on the surface of the water and
were carFied up In the large bubbles.

The main reason for the great success Of Re

SAWDUST.
Used Tor various Purposes. but Chiefly In
swecpinG-A Market Tor II All.

There are in New York twenty or more dealers
in sawdust; their high.sided wagons. built
especially for the purpose. are familiar to all.
Formerly sawdust was carried in bulk, with an
empty barrel for a measure surrounding the
load. In delivering sawdust the driver filed
the barrel and took II in and cmptied Il; saw
dust was sold by the barrel. Now n city ordi.
nance forbids the handling OF sawdust I'm this
loose manner. to be blown about the streets. and
II Is carried In bags, tho standard sawdust bag
being OF the capacity of a sugar barrel. Tho
driver takes in n bag and empties II into a bar
rel or leaves a full bag and takes an empty one.
Sawdust is used for packing som kinds OF
bottled goods, as ink, cologne. and mustard; 1t
is used to some extent for packing cggs for retail
delivery; 1t is used for some polishing purposes,
and in some other ways; and the aggregate
quantity sold for these purposes is considerable +;
but the great use OF sawdust is in sweeping
floors. For this purpose great quantities
are sold, and much also ia sold to no
to lie, as, for example, in butcher shops and fish
stores. Used In sweeping. the sawdust is slight.
serbs the dust and dirt, and is then swept up,
the dust with it, as the old phrase goes,
loft on the floor II is renewed ms often as may he
necessary, perhaps twice u week.
For sweeping purposes sawdust Is used In q
great many places including all sorts OF stores,
both great and small. Some OF the great bust
ness establishments OF the city use fifteen bar
rcls each week; so thnt a single establishment
might use for sweeping purposes 700 or 800 bar
rcs annually.
Sawdust is sold usually at 25 cents or 30 cents
a single barrel, or three barrels for 80 cents.
Tho snwdust expense item In the great cstab-
hncn may amount to $50 TO $75 "A year.
Sswdust is sometimes used In sweeping car
peted floors. The moistencd sawdust is scat
tered about on the carpet, and gently rubbed
about with the broom and then swept MP. Some
groccrs sell sawdust in small quantities, 5 cents
worth or 10 cents worth.
The. sawdus, used in this city comes mostly
from hox factories. Some consumers prefer fine
sawdust, some like coarse hotter. They can get
either. Some New York dealers in sawdust sell
also in brooklyn and. elsewhere hereabouts.
There Is a market for all the sawdust produced
here, and some New York dealers buy in neigh.
boring places ms well. One dealer, for instance, CON
tracts to take all the sawdust made In two mills
IN thiscity, and takes also the ~ wdust from a mill
n Greenpoint and from another mill in Jersey
City. Sometimes the supply In New York runs
short. i may be that the factories shut down or
some big lumber mill up the State and Jumps
sawdust In here by the car load.

The bank directors at their meeting
last Thursday, declared the regular semi
annual dividend of 4 per cent payable
July lst, besides carrying forward undi-
vided profits of over per cent. That the
directors are watchful of the banks funds
and keep abreast of the times in all
affairs pertaining to protecting tho i'll
terests of tho banks patrons, is shown by
the sign recently hung up stating that the
bank has all insurance policy indemnify
ing it for any loss from burglary, either
at night or in the day. The company is

abandoned their plans of attacking banks
when they found that banks were pro-
tected by burglary insurance.
