An Armenian Bridegroom.

Notwithstanding the Turk, the
Armenians still marry, and a writer
in Chambers Journal explains the
get up of the groom:
A brawny barber, his arms bare
to the elbow, bustles in. His assist
ant carries chair, over which is
spread a lowered towel. Then en-
tiers a procession The bridegroom,
his countenance of ashen pallor cit
has been Toured for the occasion),
totters along, supported by sympa-
thizing friends.
After he is shaved by the barber
variety of costly and wonderful
garments are put upon him, all of
them gifts from his fair Gemira.
Fourteen of the bridegroom broth
ers, each holding a candle in the
right hand, strip him to the skin
and then reclothe him-new under
garments, three green silk waist
coats, a blue silk robe, sash, flower
ed white satin overcoat, two jackets
over that, long loose blue robe
and new fez. The stockings, how
ever, do not fit and the bridegroom
grumbles. Then he kisses my hands
and sits down beside me on the di-
van.
II suppose you're very happy? 2"
L somewhat infelicitously ask, not
knowing how to begin.
He smiles as if in pain.

Moody Defines Regeneration.

"There is so much that is mistaken
for Regeneration that it may be help
full to first define it negatively, writes
Dwight L, Moody in the March
Ladies Home Journal. "And first
of all, it is not church ordinances.
These Divinely-appointed means of
grace are requisite for the church;
but, in themselves, cannot give spir-
itual life. They are but symbols of
truths, and, as such, are to point us
to things invisible. For instance,
baptism is not Regeneration. Fac
cheus became a new or regenerate
man after few moments converse
ton with Christ; but it was proba-
bly, some time before he was baptized.
The thief upon the cross died a re-
generate man, although he was not
privileged to commune With Christ's
disciples on earth. Church-going is
not being born of God. The evil one
himself regularly attends church, di-
verting the thoughts of the congre-
cation and arousing the evil spirit
of criticism. Philanthropy, self-sac-
rifice, death itself can never re- create
a man. That must be done by al
power outside Of himself, and only
by being born from above Regen-
Grafton is gift. No amount of hui
man effort can earn it. 1t is we'll
worth labor and toll and privation;
but these cannot buy it. Man works
from the cross, not to it; he works
from gratitude; but not for salvation"

An Unspeakable Sell.

A resident in Vevay, Switzerland,
lately died and bequeathed a large
property which he was supposed to
possess to the local hospital of the
town.
There being two local medical
charities the town hospital and the
Hospice de Samaritan lawsuit
was entered by the former in order
TO decide it's right to the legacy.
After considerable expense had
been incurred the dispute was alb
ruptly brought to close by the dis
covery that the deceased had in
dulged in a most unreasonable jest,
and, in fact, did not possess a penny
to bequeath. -Pearson's Weekly.

Visitors to previous inaugurations

Tomorrow will mark an epoch in
the history of the United States that
will be handed down from genera
ton to generation for years to come.
It is the long looked-for Inauguration
of the standard-bearer of protection
and reciprocity Ma. VIM. Mckinley.
Great preparations have been in prog
ress for some time to make it one of
the grandest events ever occurring in
this Union. The city of Washington
will be gala attired in electric lights,
bunting and flags. The largest dis
play of the American flag ever seen
will take place, as well as the costliest
display of fireworks. Over $4,000
men will be in line and reviewed by
President Mckinley. The event is
anxiously awaited by millions of peo-
pie who look forward to the event as
the starter of the wheels of prosper
ity and the stopping of the wheels of
hard times. The confidence that the
people place in the incoming presi-
dent is simply astonishing, and there
is no doubt that it is not misplaced.
Mckinley is expected to, and no
doubt will, call an extra session Of
congress and take immediate steps to
rid the country of the curse placed
upon it, known as hard times. 1t is
that cannot be done in
minute nor day, but the first step
will be taken soon, and after that
will return very rapidly.
Tomorrow is certainly day for re-
oicing.

There is another awful mix-up con-
corning Cuba. Whether Consul Gen
eral Fitz Lee actually did send in his
resignation or only threatened to do
so, because of the administration not
supporting the demands he made on
Gen. Weyler in behalf of American
citizens arrested by the Spaniards in
Cuba, will not be positively known
until Secretary Olney replies to the
senate resolution calling for copies
of all the correspondence between
Gen. Lee and the state department,
and there seems actually to be
doubt as to whether Olney will COM
ply with that resolution. The feeling
is general in congress that the ad-
ministration has never taken congress
entirely into its confidence as to it's
relations with Spain and as to it's
official information, and nothing but
the fact that the administration will
retire next week prevents some Wig
orous action on the part of congress
that would make things warm for
Cleveland and Olney. 1t would nat
urally be supposed that Olney would
have given Senator Sherman, who is
80 soon to succeed him as secretary
of state, all the information in his
possession, but it is known that he
has not done so. On the contrary,
he told Senator Sherman that there
was no important news from Cuba,
when it is known that he had in his
possession communication from
Consul Gen. Lee that was of the ut
most Importance. It is difficult to
account for Olney's peculiar action in
this matter, which has revived much
of the ugly talk about his personal
relations with the Spanish minister,
which was SO prevalent sometime ago.

The fight existing between the
rival cities of Duluth, Mimi, and
Superior, Wis. has been transferred
to the United States senate, over a
little bill presented by Senator Quay,
to extend the time from March to
July, for the completion of the steel
bridge which is to connect the two
cities. Between them flows a little
arm of Lake Superior called by court
esy st. Louis river, which is as fam
GUS in the annals of the Northwest as.
was the Rubicon in the time of Caesar.
AS long as that stream of water re-
mains unbridged, just so long will
Duluth remain Duluth, and Superior
be known as Superior. Bat in thu
dreadful times to come when the
bridge shall span that river, it is like
ly that Superior will be known as
a suburb of Duluth and Duluth be
known as suburb of Superior, thus
making the doughty citizens of those
cities lie awake at nights, and stand
On the shores Of their dividing stream
and hurl defiance to their encroach-
ng neighbor.

THURSTON is FOR ANNEXATION.
Nebraska senator VIII Work for the Rati-
Gcation of the Treaty.

Washington Sept. 11.-Senator Thurs
ton Of Nebraska, who is in the city, was
asked as to the truth of the report that
he would oppose the ratification Of the
Hawaiian annexation treaty when 1t
shall come up in the senate next ses-
sion. He replied:
Nothing could be further from the
truth. | am now, as l have been for
years, an ardent anneXationst. and |
shall do all | can to promote the approx
al Of the treaty when it comes IN. |
cannot imagine how the suppostion got
abroad that / would pursue a contrary
course unless it grew out of the fact
that | have advocated the abrogation
of the existing reciprocity treaty
which admits Hawaiian sugar free. That
position | took because of the fact that
Nebraska is a beet sugar state and be-
cause our sugar comes into competition
with the Hawaiian article But while
this would continue to be the case with
Hawaii a part of the United States,
there would be so many advantages OF
other kinds growing out of annexation
that | would forego my opposition to
free Hawaiian sugar in order to secure
those benefits"
lie added that he thought the treaty
would be taken up soon after the con-
Vening of congress.

A Heavy blossom.

1t is q curious fact that the largest bios
SONS grow on the smallest bushes. One

the size of it's blossom, but such is not the
case One of the largest flowers ever dis
covered was found in one of the Philip
pine islands by DR.. Alexander Schaden
berg few years ago. The doctor and a
few friends were exploring the mountain
regions of that most interesting group OF
islands when the man named came upon
curious collection of vines that were COW
cred with great punches Of something he
could not at first define A closer inspec-
ton showed him that they were immense
buds, and farther on he saw one of them in
full bloom. Calling his friends, he pointed
to the immense flower. which measured
nearly three feet in diameter, after which
it was weighed. Quito to the astonish-
ment of all this flower tipped the scales Mt

port the doctor took photograph of his
wonderful find. Dr. .schadenberg was a
great botanist, but there is no record that
he gave this colossal flower any particular

CHlcAGO'S WATER SUPPLY.
The City Is the Biggest Peddler of Aqua
Pura In the Vicinity.

For so much as it owns of Lake Michi-
gan, brought in through spacious tunnels
and distributed by countless pipes, the
city of Chicago itself is the biggest peddler
in the vicinity. On an ordinary household
basis it sells water by the year to about
900. 600 customers. In addition to these
it has 8, 800 special customers VINO purchase
water by actual measure. These are man
ufacturers who use water abundantly, and
persons who own or conduct very large
buildings. private or public. Their classes
are defined by ordinance, and the great
municipal water peddler requires them TO
buy the measures that keep tally against
themselves. The minimum standard of
water meter has three-quarter inch dis
charge, which gives !, 800 gallons of water
an hour, the price paid for this to the city
being 10 cents for | 200 gallons. The me-
tiers range in capacity from the one speci-
fled up to 10 inch a size which registers
9. 900 gallons minute, A meter of this
capacity costs over $1,000 the ordinary
three-quarter inch meter now costs $50.
The city named after Pullman is Chicago's
largest customer for water. 1t is supplied
through two 10 inch water meters to the
tune of millions of gallons daily. such
large down town buildings as the Manhat-
tan have to use, perhaps, inch meters.
There are several patentees and manufac-
ttirers of water meters, all of whom COM
pete for city patronage. There is no use
kicking against the record of water
meter 1t is mechanical impossibility
| for any of them TO tell lie. In this re-
spect they have a far better moral character
| than the gas meter tribe, which are given
to mendacity of tho ARREST kind. Its said

service, would help on the welfare of Chi
cago both morally and financially. There
are people ''out stockyards way" who are

TIVE NIMeLe FLEA.
Wonderful Strength That Is Possessed by
the Lively Little Insect.

Fleas are possessed of wonderful strength
and have been known to perform some
Serculean feats. Mouffet the great won
der monger OF the seventeenth century,
tells of light fingered mechanic who
made a miniature golden chariot with
movable wheels and a harness of golden
chains, with which he "hitchedn a flea
TO the tiny vehicle. "This weight of gold
chains and chariot" the account quantity
says, 1.-THE flea dragged some feet on mar
BILE table, appearing not the least fatigued
when he had done his masters bidding"
Bingley tells of a London matchmaker
who made an ivory coach of four wheels,
fitted with coachman, ETC., to which flea
"was occasionally harnessed, to the great
amusement of all those who saw its won
derful performances. The same man
afterward made carriage with six horses,
n coachman, four persons inside two foot
men behind and position in front on
one of the horses, all of which was drawn
by single flea. Latreilla mentions a
trained flea which dragged IA silver cannon
Al times its own weight. The cannon was
mounted on wheels, but the only char
ness" the flea had on was "a tiny gold
chain fastened around his neck with a fine
silk thread. This cannon was real piece
Vi OINIlhnNtf bNNOlhillS w Iiip SiOoihS SNi'7
tence of the old account which says that
"the little insect exhibited no fear what
ever when the cannon was charged with
gunpowder and discharged. Rene Is not
at all clear in his account of the wonder
full feats of strength he once saw exhibited
by q trio of trained heas owned by IA Hin

his account of the exhibition is that he
/ eayy the three feas drap0inQ an omnibus,
and pair of them drawing n chariot,
while the third one brought up the rear
with "a tiny mounted cannon of brass.
Modern entomologists are not at all slow
! in making interesting experiments which
are calculated to illustrate the wonderful
characteristics of the insect family. Some
late experiments along this line prove that
a flea can carry weight $50 times greater
than that of his own body. He can move
over space of AZ feet while man is
| getting ready to lift his foot or about 81 "a
feet while a man makes one step. At that
rate man of $50 pounds in order TO be
able TO compare favorably with the flea
in point of both strength and motion,
should be able to take common locomo-
tive under each arm and stride across the
country from ST. Louis to Niagara Falls
and return in less than an hour and n half
and that, too, without depositing his bur
dens on the ground for moments rest
