The ordinary paragrapher in referring
to a marriage nearly always says that
Mr.. John Smith or Mr.. James Brown
was married to Miss Nellie Green or
Miss Fanny White, 1t would lead one
to think that the man only was mar
ried. while the fact is both were mar
ried. The woman is as much married
as the man. The man was not simply
married to the woman. The Uni and
the mar were married, and the an
nouncement should be that Mr.. So-and-
go and Miss So-and-so were married.
Rev. DR.. Sunderland wrote a series of
articles on this subject some years ago
which were published in this city. He
laid down the general principle that he
did not marry the man to the woman,
but that he married the man and the
woman, and married .. . just as much
as he did the other. He discountenanced
the issuing of wedding cards by parents
that their daughter was married to any
particular person, and said he did not
want to perform any marriage ceremony
in which any such announcement was
made.-Washington Star.

Many years ago John Bright and
George Peabody, the philanthropist.
we're fishing in q little Irish stream.
Late in the evening, after a hard days
work. the party arrived at the landing
stage, and Bright, accosting the inevita.
BILE policeman on the bank, said:
"What is the proper price to pay
these boatmen, c%onstable?"
He replied, "Seven shillings and six
pence, yer homer, but some gintlemen
give them 10 shillings." r.
Bright, turning to his companion,
said. az have no change, Peabody; have
you three half crownsi" 81
The millionaire produced the coins
and gave them to one Of the boatmen.
"Is that all ys're giving me?" asked
the latter.
"That's ALL" said Peabody.
Holding the coins in the open palm
of his hand, and slowly scratching hii
head with the other, the boatman said:

they? Well, l call ye P~aynobody. y

Nauseous medicines nowadays possess
nome Of the terrors that many of MS re.
member when powders were given
in jam and castor oil in hot milk, as
pharmacists have invented no end Of
ways OF giving the n~astiest drugs with
out any flavor at all.
Castor oil, cod liver oil aud things of
that disagreeable kind are made up in
little flexible capsules, which slip down
the throat like u strawberry.
These capsules are also made in two
parts, so that any N can buy them
empty and put the powder or other drug
in himself, sealing them and then swal-
lowing them without knowing that the
drug has a taste. Then there is the
round wafer paper, in which can be in
closed any kind of bolus, pill or powder
and which, when moistened, can be

interstate rights o uhe Platte, what
theory Of appropriation or of stream
ownership will be recognized? They
cannot sustain all because they are
conflicting. Sustaining the doctrine
laid down in this decision makes the
national administration of all inter
state streams inevitable. Court de-
cisions will not open headgates when
floods come or close them when the
streams run low. The division of a
river among irrigators and the protec-
ton of priorities or right therein makes
the employment Of a water commits
sioner or some other public officer to
control the division as indispensable as
the employment OF engineers and fire
men ito manage the motive power Of a
railroad.
Far reaching as the decision I'M
doubleday is there is a question as to
whether it win apply to rights in Wyo-
| ming acquired since our admission to
statehood. The Wyoming constitution
declares that the water of all streams

state are the property of the state The
constitution was adopted by the peo'

There are probably not less than a
score of men walking about New Or
leans today who are decorated under
their lapels with large tin stars bearing
the cahnlistic word detective. They
are patrons of the various private agen-

"shrewd men as operatives in all parts
of the country, y and supply the tin star
and a beautifully Autographed "certif
