HE WAS WELL MADE UP.
The Cause of a Wonderful Hit Made by
the Late Bill Nye.

The Cause OF wonderful Hit Made Dy
the Late Bill Nye.
James Whitcnmb Riley tells a quaint
story of his former lecturing partner,
Bill Nye. 1t was the opening of thaiS
joint season They had both been rust.
eating during the vacation and were
brown as berries Nye looked much like
an Othello in his sunburned make Up,
and Riley suggested TO him the applica-
tion of some Liquid white, cosmetic
much affected by the gentler sex of tbs
profession
Nye sent for the preparation, and
never having used anything of the kind
before he filled the palm of his hand
with it and carefully smeared it over
his countenance There was no mirror
in his primitive dressing room, ana
Riley was beautifying himself on tho
other side of the stage.
The Liquid white" dries out some-
what like whitewash, and when Ny,s
appeared before the audience he was a
sight TO behold. His head looked like a
frosted top piece on wedding cake.
His face white as the driven snow, was
expressionless and blank. The audience
shrieked, and when he came off from
his first selection they demanded his
temperance. He obliged them to howls
of laughter. Again he made his exit,
and again was redemanded by the up.
roarious audience.
Believing he had made hit, he was
about TO return TO the stage when he
was caught by the arm by Mrs. Nyes
who cried, William Edgar Nye, what
have you got on your face?"
Nothing but its usual expression,
my dear. A"
Expression Fiddlesticks You're a
fright, cried his wife, and leading
him to where there was piece of broken
looking glass showed him how he
looked.
Nye was mortified, and catching
sight of Riley, just about going on the
stage, he would have undoubtedly fol-
lowed him on and been revenged buI
for the intervention of Mrs. Nye.
His head was scraped, combed and
washed and his next selection was read
without "a hand" from the audience.

MARRIAGE OF OFFICERS.
The Armies OF Europe Have Various Rules
Regulating 1t.

The restrictive conditions at present IN
force with regard TO the marriage Of
officers in the Russian army forbid this
privilege under any circumstance in the
case of officers under the age of 80. Be-
tween the ages of 23 and 20 years the
dot of an officers wife must amount to
sum representing the minimum in
come Of $50 rubles yearly.
On comparison of these conditions
with those regulating the same question
in other European armies it may be
noted that in the Austria Hungarian
army the number Of officers authorized
to contract marriage is limited by fix
ed proportion assigned to each grade,
and, these totals being reached, all fur
ther marriages must be deferred pend
ing the occurrence of vacancies in the
married establishments.
The Italian army regulations, which
fix the income of the fiancee at a mini
mum of from /, 200 to 1000 lire, would
appear to be more rational in their
operation Italian officers, however, ap-
ply somewhat liberal Interpretation to
this law, with the result that the num-
ber of marriages occurring under actual
provisions does not exceed more than an
eighth of the total number, seven
eighths of the officers being united un-
der the conditions of the religious cere-
mony only, and thus exposing them
selves to all the Inconvenience which
attend a marriage not recognized by
civil law.
Similar disabilities would now ap.
pear to be incurred by Russian officers.
and suggestions have been made by the
press in Russia that general revision
of the law is becoming necessary. The
question is assuming some importance
from the fact that Russian officers,
reaching total number of nearly 40,-
600, represent one of the most impor.
tant classes in the state. Brooklyn Cit.

when the bowels become caught or compressed by

A LOYAL AMERICAN GIRL.
Gladly Gave the Flowers from Her
Hat to Remind the Boys of
Home and Mother.

When the soldier boys left for the
south there was one bright-looking girl
standing on the depot platform, says
the Denver Times. She wore one of the
fashionable hats which appear like a
garden of flowers. AS she stood there,
with the tears coursing down her cheeks,
she saw the other girls burying the
brave boys in literal forests of flowers.
One of the soldiers stepping up to her
asked:
tPlease, may have one of those flow
ers on your hat?"
She took his hand, and in voice most
womanly said: "Yes,rsir, and may God
bless you.''
Then she told them all to come and Sc
lect flower from her hat. The boys,
with hands grim and bronzed from camp
life, carefully culled them from the
straw frame until they were all gone
Then she put on what was left of it, and,
stepping back toward the car, said with
emotion:
''Boys, I wish there were more. I
hope you will come back again, and that
those flowers will remind you Of the
pleasant scenes. OF home, and guide you
as your dear ar=old mother would have
taught you to 60"
There were several girls standing close
by who whispered: II wouldn't ruin
my hat that way" but the wiser heads
remarked: 'There is loyal American
woman - God bless her." - Denver
