Relatives on Hire.

''Brides find our house very useful, "
said one of the members of a London
firm of costumers. SIN this great city
there are scores of Woodworking girls
who are miles away from their rela-
tons, and who have always been too
busy to cultivate many friends. Well,
when these girls are about to marry
young fellows who are similarly cir
cumstanced, the question arises as to
who shall give away the bride. I can
answer that question for them at once,
for I have connected with my business
an ex-Major in the army, member of
ancient family, and man, too, of un-
impeachable character. He is poor,
but he dresses well, has beautiful white
hair, and looks the kindly father to
perfection. introduce him to the
bride and bridegroom, aud he, for a
moderate fee, gives the former away.
Sometimes he takes the whole arrange
ments of breakfast and so on upon
himself, and he is fine speaker on
occasion. He is always a welcome
guest with these people afterward.

Finding Water i'm tho Desert.

The. Western man who got water In
the desert by the aid Of reed and q
sponge evidently got the idea from the
bushmen of the Kalahari desert in AT.
RIGA. These people often live scores OF
miles from places where water comes
to the surface. During certain times
of the year sharp storms pass ever the
Kalahari, covering the apparently arid
region with the brightest of verdure
and filing for a few short days the
water courses with roaring torrents.
The bushmen find water by digging in
the bottoms of these dried up river
beds. They dig a hole three or four
feet deep and then tie a sponge to a
hollow reed. The sponge absorbs the
moisture at the bottom of the hole, and
the natives draw it up into their
mouths through the reed.

Thssewing machine, one Of the great
est blessings in the way of machines
ever offered to the public, sold for years
at sixty dollars in the United States.
The same machine, however. to be
shipped to foreign land, could be
purchased below twenty dollars. After
the patents ran out the price fell
rapidly until now sewing machines are
sold for twenty five dollars and often
below twenty dollars. The sewing
machine manufacturers became i'm
mensely rich from their profits OF
several hundred per cent. 1t has
been estimated that typewriting ma
chimes cost less than twenty dollars to
build, while they. sell for from fifty
dollars to one hundred dollars each.
1t is generally understood that an
agreement exists whereby these high
prices are maintained. Business men
are compelled to pay from three hun
dred to five hundred per cent. profit
or 60 without the machines.
Are there any other machines which
yield such profits as the sewing ma
chimes did for years, and the type
writing machine has and does; except
it be the bicycle?

Rulers Not of Same Nations.

There is not reigning sovereign in
Europe whose family is of the nation
over which he rules. The house of
Austria is in reality the house of Lor-
raine, the Hapsburgs being of Swiss
origin. The King of the Belgians is
OF Saxe-Coburg. The King of Den
mark is a Holsteiner. The young
King of Spain is an Austro-B Bourbon.
The King of Italy is Savoyard. The
founder of the Bernadotte dynasty in
Sweden was country attorney at Pau
less than century aad quarter ago,
and the King of the Hellenes is Hol-
steiner. The British royal family il,
as everyone knows, Hanoverian. The
Hohenzollerns were originally Sua-

KOREAN FESTIVALS.
Frequent and Peculiar Holidays Of the
Natives of Korea.

Natives of Korea.
The last day of the old year and the
first week of the new year are given up
to festivities. The fifteenth day of the
first month is called the New Moon
holiday. A particular kind of food is
made at this time, consisting Of dates,
chestnuts, honey, and cake rice Ia
peculiar kind of rice) boiled together.
This food is called medicine food, and
is supposed to be prophylactic and
also to strengthen the brain. In the
country, torches are lighted to well
come the moon, and people assemble
in great numbers to catch the first
glimpse of the moon, as it insures hap
piness. This day is also observed as
All-Fools day. A favorite trick is to
attach q flower secretly to some ones
clothing.
In the second month, usually on the
sixteenth, Butterfly holiday occurs.
The third day of the third month is
observed as the Flower holiday. On
this day young men make cake of
flowers mixed with wheat and rice, and
this is fried; they also cook fish and
other articles of food.
The eighth day of the fourth month
is called by the Buddhists the Wash
ing day of Buddha. Households have
lantern for each person, and these
are supplied with oil lamps instead of
candles, as candles are made of OK fat
or honeycomb, and Buddha forbids the
killing at animals. Oil for lamps is
always vegetable oil. The lower
classes attend church on this day and
sacrifice to Buddha A cake is made
of black beans, and this was formerly
decorated with flowers; now this is
rarely done, though artificial flowers
are sometimes used for this purpose.
At this time forms of animals are made
of meal or lime and sold to the chill
dren.
The fifth day of the fifth month is
called Swinging day, and is derived
from China. Swings are suspended
from trees and frames, and everybody
INDUCES in the sport. Boys put on
their new clothes at this time. The
root of the flag is cut with sloping
edge which is colored red, and this is
worn in the hair to ward off calam-
tiles. 1.-THE japanese have holiday
at this time, but have no ilea of its
derivation.)
The sixteenth day of the sixth
month is observed as Hairwashing day.
Everybody observes the day except
the laborer. At this time wheat cake
and macaroni are eaten.-Appletons'

dsrful Way.
From the Press, Utica, ny
There Is no one better known or respected
IN the village Of Brookfeid, Madison Co.,
New York, than Mrs. John Fisk, the wife OF
an old resident and veteran OF the war OF
the Rebellion. In April Of this year, Mrs.
Fisk lay at deaths door from neuralgia and
heart disease, the family physician having
recommended her to settle all her worldly
affairs, as she was Iableto be taken at any
minute, and inquiring friends expected at
each visit to hear that she had passed away.
But Mrs. Fisk, to tho surprise OF her
neighbors and physicians, suddenly began
to mend, and now she is as strong and
healthy Q woman Of Ter advanced age (76
years. as can be found, and really does not
appear nearly as old as she Is. The follow
ing is her own story Of how she was cured.
81 consider 1t is duty to myself and the
covery from what was thought by my ply
sicians, my husband and friends to be .
fatal Illness. I had long been suffering
from neuralgia In its worst form, enduring
agonies that only those who have under
gone such torments know, until my heart
became so affected funtfonaIly and Or
ganically, that the doctor said was liable
in bis power for me, and thank him much
for his kindness and attention, and believe
him to be good, faithful physician. WAS
not disposed to die, however, II could help
it, and he having done all he could, felt
at liberty to use any other means that held
out a chance of life, and determined to try
remedy that had been recommended by
friend who had been at deaths door from
rheumatism and heart disease, but who now
Is In good health.
whatever doubt may have had as to
this remedy's efficacy in dissimilar dis
ease, to that from which he had suffered,
was dispelled on reading in the Press Of q
case identical with my own being cured,
with the name and address of the person
who had been so benefited. So my husband
who now was anxious that should at once
take the treatment, purchased for me box
of DR.. Williams Pink Pills. took them
according to directions, and within very
short time the pains began to disappear,
my hearts actions became normal, and four
weeks ago l ceased taking them, as l am
entirely cured, and able to do my house.

81 had always, until tried DIR. Williams
Pink Pills, lo( red with suspicion on all ad-
vertised proprietary medicines, but now my
ideas have undergone a wondrous change
In that direction, for under Gods all wise
Providence, pink Pills have renovated
me, and apparently given me new lease
of life.
"This Is no secret In this locality, and I
hope this certificate may be the means Of
other sufferers in distant places securing
the same benefits that have received.
