Rose Leaf Wishes For the Bride.

A st. Louis belle, Miss Nellie Lee
Hull, introduced unique feature on
the occasion of her marriage to Will
lam 81. Wissing. After the ceremony,
while the bridal party were making
their preparations for travelling, the
bridesmaids were not idle. They OBJ
tanned several rose jars full of the dried
petals of all the American Beauty roses
which the groom had sent the bride
three times each week during the
period of their engagement-six
months. These numbered 1000 roses
in all, and made vast quantity of rose
petals. As the bride and groom walked
from the stairway to the door, they
were vigorously pelted with these frag-
rant missiles, instead of the usual rice.
The costliest and most unique gift
which the bride received was square
box of heavy glass, mounted in gold
and set on a standard. Within it were
five and ten-dollar gold pieces to the
amount of $500, and in one corner was
small card, which read: "Pin money

FIGHT IN THE AIR.
Battle Royal Between q Gray nnd q
Bald Eagle.

A man sat on the sands Mt Capron In.
let, opposite Fort Pierce, and admired
the graceful flight of an osprey, says
the Jacksonville Florida Citizen. About
ifty yards above the blue water, he
wheeled on widespread pinions, direct
ing his course by a motion of his tail OF
curve OF the wing. Presently he bal
anced himself, the wings shut on the
body and he plunged into a long swell
and rose with fish in his talons. With
O scream of exultation he shook him
self free Of moisture, like n dog, and
circled to attain sufficient altitude to
clear the woods.
But fishing eagle, twice his weight,
had seen the performance, and answer
ed the scream. He mounted to strike,
and the osprey, burdened as he was,
gave up the contest and dropped the
fish. With swing, the fisher turned
and caught It and flew low to regain
the blasted pine and feast.
But out Of the blue came another
scream and a dim spot detached itself
from a cloud and moved straight on the
scene OF action. The fisher heard the
cry of battle, and he knew he was lost
IL the bald eagle struck him with q
swoop. Hastily he turned and flew al
most directly upward, still holding his
prize. The osprey scared back with
shrill whistlings, as II he Knocked the
efforts of the robber.
The bald eagle screamed again and
wes answered by the gray. The bald
came with leveled head, like an arrow
from the bow-the fisher still struggled
for an equal position. Then the bald
curved the forward edge Of his great
vans and started downward. The gray
dropped the mullet and turned upside
down In midair, with beak and talons
ready. The osprey caught the mullet
and sailed homeward.
Then the two great birds struck with
q thud, distinctly heard below, though
they must have been half q mile in the
air. Feathers few as II you had rip
ped a pillow in a strong breeze, and
as the two fell, it could be seen that
the talons of the bald straddled the
body of the gray and were buried at
the roots Of the wings. But the gray's
beak tore at the throat Of the bald,
while his claws were busy tearing like
the tawa Of a wolf who fights a bull

'ver, slantingly to the sea. AS they

n the edge Of the woods, the bald land
ed on a tree, nearly fell, and leaned
tgainst the trunk for support as it sat

An ancient superstition connected
with the turquoise is even to-day
believed in. If it is given with love
it carries with it happiness and good
luck. If the well-being Of the giver
is in peril the faithful turquoise pales;
if, on the other hand, the giver proves
faithless, the stone turns dark. 1t is
an emblem of prosperity and is also
dedicated to December. A cluster
composed of diamonds, loadstones and
sapphires combined is guaranteed by
the ancient faith to render the wearer
almost invincible and altogether ire
sistible.

More Deer than Sheep in Maine.

Twenty-Five years ago there were
very few deer in Maine, especially in
Franklin and Oxford Counties. They
were there unknown. In fact, I never
saw deer track in the State till about
1880. Since that time they have In
creased very fast. 1 have no fear for
deer in the future. They are to-day In
every county Of the State. Indeed, l
may safely say, am sure that there
are more deer than sheep in the State
to-day. And that this is so is due. In
my opinion, to protection afforded

Blouses of brown velvet, trimmed
with mink or sable, and showing ap-
pliques of Russian lace, may be seen
ready-made in some of the large retail
stores. Different colors may be seen,
but brown, in its many lovely shades,
seems to be the favorite.
Poplin waists are fashionable, and
make pretty, serviceable garment for
ordinary street and house wear. They
are made up in Norfolk style, with
box pleats in the front and back, and
belt two inches wide. They can also
be made in regular shirt-waist style.
Black crepe de chene gowns are
very much worn, and very prettily
trimmed with narrow ruffies of the
same, edged with black guipure or
Chantilly lace. Bands of lace inser-
ton, with frills of narrow lace on
either edge, stripe the blouse bodice.
The belt craze is on the increase,
and the most beautiful specimens are
shown made of leather, silk, velvet
and metal. Many of the latter have
jewels set irregularly in the large
links, and the enamelled belts are
things of real beauty. The buckles
are also handsome.
An exquisite white velvet gown seen
at an afternoon reception was trimmed
with pearl passementerie. The blouse
front was of white net embroidered
with small pearls and silver threads.
Full ruchings of white chiffon finished
the edges of the blouse, and were worn
at the wrists and throat.
A very large number of evening
dresses are made with transparent
sleeves reaching to the wrist. The
bodice proper may have transparent
yoke, or guimpe to correspond, or be
cut low, or in three-quarter style,
either form being without doubt fash
ionable; nevertheless, a low bodice
with long sleeves in Victorian fashion
locks extremely odd, and it is rarely
if every becoming.

Against the probability or possibility of
mischance or accident we can never be too
sure. But II we should stop to consider
how great Is the chance OF sudden death,
we would be made too timid and unhappy.
Caution Is needed not to be foolhardy, and
precaution to know what Is best to do whom
an accident happens. One day this winter
two men were walking and one said:
Were too timid in treading on slippery
places. l tread firmly and never think
about them, and so escape a fall" Never
be too sure" said the other; "it is that that
throws you Off and makes the fall the
harder" just then they came upon a
place covered with thin snow, where kids
had been sliding. The first speaker slipped
and came down with his foot turned and
badly sprained his ankle. He was cripple
on crutches until short time ago, having
used many things without benefit. Up to
that time he had not used st. Jacobs Oil,
which, when used, cured him completely,
so that he walks as usual. There Is prob.
ability that for the rest OF the season he
will walk cautiously, with the precaution
Of having this great remedy ready for use.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,


90S Broadway, Sept. Z.
The officials of the County Inf1rmary
have reached the conclusion that IL the
mind of Miss Daisy Day is to be saved
she must be separated from her mother.
AS the young lady will not leave her pa
rent for an instant and as the mother
believes that her daughter Is the only one
who can save her from destruction, the
task before the Commissioners is a deli
cate and difficult one.
Mrs. Bandy, the matron of the infirm-
airy, says that since Mrs. Day was taken
there week ago she has refused to
touch a crumb of food and is actually
dying of starvation. The matron sees no
hope for the mother but declares that
the girl is durable. Some new informa-
ton relative to the mother has recently
come to light which adds to the necessity
for separating her from her daughter.
Mrs. Day has threatened to commit sui
eide, and several times before being ar
rested for insanity she went daily to a
grocery store and stood on the scales to
see If she were disappearing from this
world.
The mother has also expressed a strong
attachment for her sisters stepson. a

also called attention to the bills for street
work, which were sent to him from the
Street superintendent Office, which did
not show what resolution authorized such
work. He suggested the board resclnd all
resolutions authorizing the Street Super
intendent to employ men and beginning
anew adopt resolutions for each piece OF

Improvements went on at the present rate
there would be no money in the treasury

that the bills and time book Of the Super

that his books were always open for in

Considerable discussion followed, Miller
finally stating that If Snow would show
him how he wanted the bills made out he
would follow his suggestions.
