YEAST OF LONG DESCENT.


Goes Back OF CronvveIl's Time.
Mrs. Barbara Curran, who lives near
East Orrington, Me-, has stone crock
on shelf in her cellar which is filed
with yeast, and both the crock and the
yeast came over from Ireland in her
possession in 1886, says the New York
Sun.
She came to America when girl, and
brought the yeast as present to an
aunt, who lived in South Boston. The
leaven was renewed with freshly
scraped potatoes three times during the
voyage on the sailing packet that
brought her to this country. When
she found employment as o cook in q
Boston boarding house she took this
yeast along and kept it alive and yig-
orous until she was married in 1853 and
went to live in Medford. Before the
war her husband moved to East Orring-
ton and took up the farm where he now
lives. Though they were poor and had
much hard work, the yeast was never
allowed to die out or get stale. The
crock in which it is kept is haHd-mold-
ed brown earthen vessel, holding about
two quarts. It was made and baked on
the farm of Mrs. Curran's father, who
rented place near Galway. Mrs. Cur
ran says this particular kind of yeast
has been kept alive in the Norton fan1-
lily since before the. time CROMWELL

First Experience Of a Bride on Mar
keting Trip.
Almost at first glance one would
know that she had not long been ac-
auainted with the duties of market
ing. In fact, she looked very bridish.
She wore a beautiful morning gown
and carried herself with grace. When
she stalked into the grocery with her
little white hands firmly closed over a
brand new pocketbook. q self-satisfed
smile lowering about the corners Of
her pretty mouth and general air of
self-confidence about her, everyone took
time to gaze upon the fair creature.
But it was apparent that the role was
an entirely new one to her. She had
assumed Q matronly look, but it did not
harmonic with her real self.
She was not attired in way to lead
one to think that she had recently been
led TO the altar. There were no grains
Of rice In her hair, nor were there any
old shoes attached to her person; still
there was something that plainly
stamped her "bride."
She wanted very much to conceal her
new position in life, and even had
she succeeded in doing SO by her action
her visit to the grocer's would have
given the snap away,
The nnmatronly- ooking young WON
nm stumbled partly through her order,
and then she came to the item Of ham.
She told the accommodating clerk that,
even though most people preferred ham
q little fat, she did not want it that way,
because she did not like fat beef in any
I: shape, .
And not . soul in the entire establish.
( Hent smiled, for she made the remark
with SO much feeling and earnestness
that to have even cast q knowing glance
would have been wickedness in its
worst form. Toledo Blade.

white gauze. Black satin ribbon in
No. 9 width is used for girdles.
The inevitable white satin for we'd

you have a large choice of colors.
There are dainty grays and tans, china

On Friday night Mrs. W. Butler, liv-
ing a mile from O%pelousas, La, was
awakened in the middle of the night
by a burglar who grasped her by the
throat. She freed herself from him,
but when he caught hold of her baby
and threatened to kill it she agreed to
give him all the money in the house.
He was a negro. In the morning she
gave notice of the burglary, and blood
hounds were procured, who went to
the neighboring cottage of a negro
named Eli Sanders. Sanders was ar
rested, but although the house was
searched thoroughly, and the garden
was dug up in looking for the money,
no evidence whatever could be found
against him. He was released, but
he was SO frightened, fearing a lynch
ing, that he went into commissions and
died from fright in a few minutes while
the officers were still in the cabin.

Marrying Cousins.


Chicago is deeply attached to his
cousin. and she returns his affection.
They have been devoted lovers for
some years, and having recently come
into some property by the death of an
uncle of both, they are inclined to join
hearts, hands and estates. But their
church forbids the marriage of cousins.
and they ask If 1t is wrong 20 have a
civil marriage in defiance of the rules
of the church? Also why is the mar
riage of cousins forbidden? Answer:
For many years there has existed an
idea that the children of cousins were
likely to be deficient in intellect OF
otherwise wrong in some way. But
science has taken up the subject, and
after an exhaustive investigation the
following conclusion has been reached:
That unless cousins are very like in
temperament and disposition and very
closely resemble each other and follow
very nearly after a common ancestor,
there Is no reason to suppose there
would be any i'll results. Where they
are unlike, the danger of mental de-
ficiency in their children is reduced to
a very small factor. AS to defying the
rules of the church. that is a matter
for you to settle with your w con-
sciences. A civil marriage is perfectly
binding. If two persons are so de-
yotedly attached to each other there
might be more harm done in parting
than in marrying. The Ledger is a
most enthusiastic advocate to marry
ing for love and believes that to sep
arate two loving hearts is little less
than a crime.-New York Ledger.
