SHOCK MARRIAGES.

 Iaz&ances En Maine Of n Custom That Prss
 TniIed In England Century Ago.
 A Bangor lawyer attending court in the ancient town of Wiscasset, Me-, went rummagingr recently in the colonial court records of the place and in the course of his reading ran across the official registration of "smock mar riage. Not knowing what sort of mar wiage that was he locked further and got considerable bebs upcn custom aIlat prevailed in England century or 'sEyo ago and also to some extent in the American colenies
 Snock marriages were weddings where the bride appeared dressed ill white sheet CT ohemise. The reason of anoh garb was the belief that if 6 ulan married a woman who was in debt ae oould be held liable for her indebted. Eaess if he received her with any of her groperty, and also that if woman mar wied man who was in debt his credit 1Ts could not take he- property to satis- S their claims if he received nothing 4xom her. In England, says an antiqua. xlan, there was at least one case where Gha bride was clothed puris naturalibuE while tho ceremony was being per formed in tho great church at Birming- hmm The minister ct first refused to perform the ceremony. but finding noth- 1ng in Ghe rubrio that would excuse him Ae maT-ied the pair.

But modes sy forbidding, various expedients were Szsed to accomplish the desired purpose sud yet avoid the undesirable features. Sometimes the bride stood in a closet and put her hand through a hole in the 1eor. Sometimes she stood behind 8 @inth screen and put her hand out at ane side, again she wound about her white sheet furnished for the purpose Ey the bridegroom, and sometimes she stood in her ohemise or smock.

FRUITS FOR THE TABLE.
aTrs. Rorer Tells the Best Kinds-How
 They Should Be Served.

Fruits are more appetizing and, per- haps, more easily digested if taken in the early part of the day-whether or not before the breakfast must be de.. termined by the eater.
 Grapes, oranges and shaddocks may be served before the cereal. Baked ap- pies, peaches, baked bananas, figs, dates, prunes or stewed fruits should be served at the close of the breakfast
 Raisins, su1tanas, dried figs and prunes should be soaked thoroughly, so that they may take up the same amount of water with which they have parted in the process of drying, and should then be heated just enough to soften the skins.
 The subaoid fruits, such as apples, figs, dates, peaches, persimmons, pears, prunes and apricots, are, perhaps, the best of the winter fruits and may be used to good advantage with animal foods
 Acid fruits must at all times De used most sparingly, especially by persons inclined to rheumatic troubles. The continued use of an orange or shaddoek before breakfast will diminish the pow CT of stomach digestion, for which req son they should be served with cereals or such foods as require only intestinal digestion.
 The papaw and pineapple belong to a class alone. They contain a vegetable pepsin which assists in the digestion of the nitrogenous principles. These fruits, then, may be served with meats and will aid ill their digestion When served with bread and butter they donot form so good a diet. They are more digestible raw than cooked, as the heat destroys the activity of tho ferments.
 Apples as rule are more easily di. gested cooked than raw, although raw apples are more palatable
 The fashion of adding sugar to fruits should be avoided, as they have already been endowed with sufficient amount of sugar, and as all the starch and eere- als are converted into sugar any further amount would be stored in the system, to it's detriment If our bilious friends would throw aside their liver pills and with them sugar, they might be free from much discomfort. Mrs. S. T. Rorer in Ladies Home Journal

modesty was avoided py the orlue. groom furnishing to the bride all the clothes she wore, retaining title to the same in himself. This he did in the presence of witnesses, that he might prove the fact in case he was sued fer any debts she might have contracted. A marriage of this kind occurred at Brad. ford in 1733, and the following is true copy of the record of the same:
 BRADFORD, Dec ye 24, 17s5
 This may certife whomsoever it may COZ cerne that James Bailey of Bradford who was married to the widow Mary Bacon Nov 9 last past by me ye subscriber then declared that he took the said person without anything of es- tate and that Lydia the wife of Eliazer Burbank 6 Mary the wife of Thomas Stickney 8s Mar garet the wife of Caleb Burbank all of Brad ford were witnesses that the clothes she then had on were of his providing q bestowing upon her
 WrL11AA BALcH, Minister of ye Gospel
 It is noted by the same writer that in all cases of smook marriages that have come to his knowledge the brides have been widows.
 It is thought that during the reign o2 George III there were many smoek mar- riages in Maine, then part of the prov inoe of Massachusetts Bay, chiefly in Lincoln and York counties or in the ter ritory which is now so known. There is nothing to show that the practice out lived the Revolution. In Maine up to 1852 a husband was liable for debts oR bis wife contracted before marriage, and no such subserfuge as the smock marriage could relieve him. New York Sun.

Booth had keen sense of humor, and among lis intimates he was anything but the sad and gloomy man whom the outside world associated always with the character of the melancholy Dane of the stage His published letters show how bright and cheerful he was usually in his familiar correspondence, and the following rhyming epistle is worth printing here as an example of his not infrequent efforts in that peculiar line.

go to the expense of arranging for n
water supply. The windmill, hydraul-
lc ram and engine can be used TO force
water into a tank or reservoir, from
which II can be obtained for crops by
gravity. What farmers should consid-
ar Is not the expense but the prospect
i've gain. 1t has happened year after
zeal that AT critical stages during the
growth of crops drouth appears and
destroys the farmers hopes. the loss
during>a single season being greater
than the expense of an l~rrigatlng plant.
II Is also possible that with an unlim-
tied supply of water the yields may be
more than doubled and the profits
greatly increased. In this region the
rains will assist the farmer the greater
portion OF the growing period, the sup
ply of water to be stored being only
sufficient to tide the crops over n dry
spell. With the ability TO apply water
to crops at will, and the liberal use OF
fertilizers, the crops grown on land that
has been used for experimental pur-
poses have been enormous, as much as
three times the average yield having
been secured.

A Drouth Resisting Plant.


The chief reason why alfalfa hay
will grow in the short grass country is
that 1t has long roots. They have been
known TO strike t~wenty-feet deep for
moisture. The plant will not thrive,
therefore. In soil that IS not open and
deep. An ideal place for its growth Is
along the river bottoms in the western
part of Kansas-land under which
great lakes of sheet water miles
upon miles in extent, are found from
ten TO twenty-five feet below the sur
face. The roots of alfalfa readily push
down to the water and drink wheh
they need moisture, and the result Is
thatJthe plant blossoms and prospers'
aud becomes "A neyer-failing source or
revenue TO the MIN who c~ultivates II.
On the rolling uplands, where there Is

makes good pasturage under ordinary
conditions there. and Is almost certain
every year TO produce II line crop OF
seed. All the uplands are fertile
enough, the only trouble about making
use of that fertility being the lack of
moisture. Irrigation has not yet sue
ceeded In bringing water in abundance
to the assistance of the tiller of the
soil in this region. and therefore only
such a plant can live as has deep roots,
and a pertlnaelty that even the hot
winds of Kansas can not shake.-Har-

sewing the Lips of Cobras.

A large cobra de capello. says a
writer in Chambers Journal. was sent
home several years ago to Sir Joseph
Fayrer, who wanted a supply Of venom
for analysis. 1t bit the spoon repeated
ly without yielding any, and on
nation was found TO have none TO
yield, not only its fangs, but the pols-
onous glands having been extirpated.
A protective operation still more cruel
is sometimes praeticed by noyices in
the art Of charming, and consists in Sc
curing the mouth with a stitch OF silk
passed through the lips In front. TIC
perform this the poor beasts head Is
held tightly pressed to the ground by
a short stick, ON which the foot rests,
while the other foot restraints the with.
Ing body, leaving both hands at liberty
for the needle. Eleven apparently
healthy cobras were on one occasion
received at the London Geological Gar
dens. They refused TO feed, and grew
thin. When one died II was discovered
that it's mouth was sewed up with
stitches so fine as TO be invisible to any
but the closest scrutiny. The rest of
them did quite well when they were
restored to their normal condition.
In connection with this subject I may
mention that a rattlesnake was sent to
me from up country when | was in
Demerara, with the history that 1t had
killed a coolie on one of the plantations.
1t had been badly injured about the
spine, probably In capture, so that on
reaching me 1t was not only dead, but
decomposed, and | was not able to
make any very complete dissection, but
| found hat its lips were tied together
with stitches-obviously the effort Of
an Impractical hand, since the work
was very coarse. This had apparently
been preceded by an unsuccessful at
tempt to extract the long, erectile, nee
dle-like fangs, for n OF these was
twisted half round with its bony base,
and had penetrated the lower lip when
the jaws were forclbly closed. 1t Is
hardly possible that the duct was not
occluded, but enough enom must have
remained within the tube of the tiny
delicate syringe to infIct a fatal
scratch.

FAME's COST.


Oh. seorn not things Of low degree,
And sigh for wealthy state;
Far better court humility
Than burdens of the great.
For he who wins ambitions fight
Can never be ut ease;
He gains, it's true, a worldly height,
But has a world TO please.
For cares increase as honors grow,
And In his new estate
He finds, thought bright those honors
glow,
Ills thraldom to the great.
The fatterers that about him thronS ;
Each has SOM dole TO ask;
To please them is no idle song,
But an Hereulean task.
We value things as they appear.
Nor count the cost and pain
Which line the road to that bright sphere
The enYied ones attain.
Fame is no royal heritage;
Its crowns are free to all;
But who its dizziest heights would gauge
Must risk the dizziest fall.
Then sigh not for ambitions need
Its seeptre and its crown;
Uneasy lies the kingly head,
Though pillowed upon down.

Seeding Peach Trees.

In every peach orchard free from the
yellows. there Will be more or less seed
ling peach trees springing up every
year from pits dropped after the peach
was eaten the previous fall. 1t requires
freezing to open these pits. and the
germ usually m forth with the hrst
warm weather Of spring. These seed
llngs will usually be OF poor quality. as
they are only natural fruit. But II they
are set out in rich soil as soon as the
shoots start. they will grow rapidly and
be plenty large enough to be budded IN
July next. 1t Is a comparatively easy
thing To learn to bud. In this way II
stock of peach trees can easily be Sc
cured If one plants peach stones from
healthy fruit In the fall, and takes care
10 use only buds from healthy stock for
budding purposes.
