When Jack Vernon reached his Office
in Temple court the next morning he
found Dora Stevens note awaiting
him. Tearing 1t open he read:
Brooklyn, $50 p. NJ, March Is. Dear
Jack-The love l expressed for you an
hour ago find has turned to pity, and l
am going to make you happy by sending
you to the only woman you have a right
to marry. After hearing your confession,
and knowing what l do, could never be
happy with you. ! know you think you
are In love with me, but the tendrils Of
your heart are still entwined around that
early love, and-and she needs you more
than l do. l told you she was my school
mate years ago; l still regard her as one
of my dearest friends, and though We
have never met since we graduated, we
have always kept up correspondence. l
inclose my latest letter from her, received
two months ago. l did not know until
tonight who the man was that she loves.
! know now, and / wish you both all the
joy that life In each others society can
bring you. Go to her, Jack, and make her
happy-and my blessing and prayers will
go with you. Not good night this time,
but good-by! Ever your friend. DORA"

Russian Marriage Ceremonies

In Russia there are some quaint mar
riage customs. The ceremony, as per-
formed by a priest, includes the bless
ing of bread, after which he joins their
hands, asking each In turn whether
they will vow to be good to each other
and to keep house well. A wreath of
wormwood is then placed on their
heads, symbolizing that even amid the
happiness Of married life there ia a
possibility of bitterness, and q conclud-

Her Clever Trick to Save a Servant

nina, married a second time when he
was well-advanced In life; and in order
to please his amiable young wife, pur-

res porcelain for ordinary use In the
palace.
As 1t was costly, he wished to have II
preserved, and accordingly gave orders
that any servant who should break or
injure one of the pieces might expect
immediate dismissal.
One day a servant went to the young
Queen greatly distressed. He had
broken one of the delicate teacups. He
had been in the Kings service for
many years, and was heart-broken over
what seemed to him the prospect of
being dismissed In disgrace.
The Queen tried TO comfort him by
suggesting that the cup could be mend
ed, as 1t was clean break and the two
edges could be put together with CO.
ment. The servant shook his head, and
remarked that his majesty had a sharp
eye, and would be certain to detect the
crack in the cup at once.
The Queen told him to mend 1t as well
as he could, and to be careful to serve
the cup to her that afternoon In the
Kings presence at tea-tlme. The SER
want followed her directions, and with
trembling hand filled 1t with tea and
served her. The Queen turned aside,
drank the tea, and rising suddenly from
her chair, let the cup fall upon the floor,
where It was broken into fragments.

ward Of your maJesty's servants" she
said. with humility. 81 have broken
one of your precious Sevres cups. You
must discharge me at once. 1 don't
deserve to remain in your service"
The arbitrary old King was amused
by her demure manner, and considered
the accident a very good joke. The
poor servant, standing behind the tray,
cast a grateful look in the direction Of
the Queen who had protected him. He
remained in the service of the King,
who never learned the truth about the
broken cup.
The consideration which Queen
Emma displayed for the feelings of
servant was proof of her kindness Of
heart After the Kings death she be-
came regent during the minority of the
young Queen Wilhelmina, and won the
confidence and sympathy of her Dutch
subjects by her unfailing tact and ami
ability.-Youth's Companion.

Muti,atton of Teeth by savaees.

MutilatiOn of the teeth is practiced
by many Of the savage or uncivilized
nations of the world. In the Malay
Archipelago the natives file their teeth
into points like those of n saw, or pierce
them with holes into which they insert
studs. The Macassar people sometimes
pull out two front teeth, in order to
supply their place with teeth of pure
gold or silver. Some African tribes
knock out their front teeth on the

How the Brahman Cleans His Teeth

When the Brahman cleans his teeth
he must use a small twig cut from
one of a number of certain trees, and
before he cuts 1t he must make his act
known TO the gods of the woods. He
must not indulge in this cleanly habit
every day. He must abstain on the
sixth, the eighth, the ninth, the four
teenth, the fifteenth, and the last day
of the moon, on the days of new and
full moon, on the Tuesday In every
week, on the day Of the constellation
under which he was born, on the day
Of the week and on the day of the
month which correspond with those Of
his birth, at an eclipse, at the conjunc-
ton Of the planets, at the equinoxes
and other unlucky epochs, and also on
the anniversary of the death of his
father or mother. Any one who cleans
his teeth with his bit of stick on any of
the aforementioned days win have
hell as his portion.

Capital Lobbyists Wife Worsted In .

At recent Washington reception

It was q crowded afternoon affair, and

woman of the receiving party: "You
