THEIR LITTLE RusE WORKED.

The Bride and Groom Came BACK and
Shook Out tho Rice.
Apropos Of the hue and cry against
rice throwing at weddings, a little
story Ia told Of one Of the recent
brides living not many miles from
Brookline. Deciding to guard against
this particular form Of warfare, one
Of the members Of the family had
taken the precaution on the evening
Of the eventful day of locking up the
pantry, and when at the close Of the
reception the self appointed commit
tee Of ushers and bridesmaids started
on their search for the time honored
article they were confronted by the
insurmountable obstacle Of locked
and barred door.
The best man volunteered to sup.
ply the demand for rice from the
pantry Of his own home, which was
only q few rods away, and soon re-
turned, bringing with him all he had
been able to collect. This ammuni-
ton was divided among the little
army Of besiegers, who then gath
cred at the foot Of the stairs and bid
ed their time.
At last quick steps were heard In
the upper hall. Somebody called
out, They're coming" and two fly
ing figures sped down the staircase
and out at the front door, almost
hidden from sight by the thick, white
shower which Immediately enveloped
them, lodging In every available
nook and Granny Of their clothing.
Some Of the more adventurous spir-
its rushed after them into the dark
neas throwing the last handfuls Of
rice that rens:sined In through tho
carriage windows.
Pleased with their success, they re-
turned to the house and were pictur-
ing to themselves the sensation that
the rice bedecked couple would make
at the hotel for which they were des.
tined, when suddenly a carriage was
heard to drive up to the door, the
bride and bridegroom entered and
disappeared into one Of tho empty
rooms before the astonished group
could realize what had happened. A
few minutes later they again
emerged, serene and smiling, and
freed from all evidence of the late
fray, and proceeded leisurely to take
their second departure, while the
now empty handed and discounted
guests were fain to own themselves
fairly outwitted by this clever ruse
on the part of the enemy.-Boston

yot whas Tney seemed.

A surprising discovery was made
BY Food Inspector Mellor not long
aso. An honest 9covill avenue groces
had become suspicious Of prepare
tions which had been sold to him as
being raspberry jelly and honey, and
he took samples Of them to the In
epectos. The jelly was made from
corn starch and was colored With
cochineal and favored with raspberry
extract. The alleged honey was made
from glucose strip favored with OK.
alic acid. No flavor Is necessary In
the production of honey. It is only
required that the glucose and oxa1ie
acid be mixed in tho right proportion
and In q few weeks the result Ia
honey, at least 50 far as taste and ap
pearance go. The stuff had been
cold to the grocer as strained honey.
