feet stream was thrown 365 feet with a
water pressure OF 1870 pounds.

MANANA.

The winter snows were falling fast As through the streets of Paris passed 4 man who bore mid snow and ice A banner with the strange device:
 Manana. His brow was sad; his eye below Would indicate that he was slow; While like last years birds nest rung The accents of that unknown tongue:
 Mapana. In many ways he knew that he Should hustle most prodigiously; And though perhaps he might have tried,
 He only didn't, as he sighed:
 Manana 'EGo, get move on," thousands said, ''At that gait you can't get ahead; Give up your ancient, moss grown pride"
 And soft the Spanish voice replied:
 Manana- "Oh, stay" the maiden said, "and rest Your weary head upon this breast" A tear stood in his dark brown eye, And still he answered with a sigh:
 Manana. Say, whats the matter? Don't you know You haven't get bit of show That any power will take your side?'' A voice, half tears, half trick, replied:
 Manana. At break of day the Yankees held The Spaniard by the neck and yelled, Give up the stu f''-their daily prayer; voice cried through the stratled air:
 Manana. A Spanfard in the snow was fo-md By persons who were nosing round, Still grasping in his hand of ice That banner with the strange device:
 Manana. There in the twilight cold and gray, Lifeless, but Spanish still, he lay, And from the sky, serene and far, A voice fell like a falling star:
 Showed under,
 roze out,
 Done for, Got it in the neck M Left at the post Swatted,
 Swiped,
 Busted, by thunder" 1 -J. w. Hampton in N. Y. Sun.

MARRIAGES TO BE LOCALIZED.
Canada to Legitimatize Weddings Per-
 formed by Non-Resident Ministers.

CdAdQd LO 11SS4tlLudLlZ6 W6QQlHSS Fer | formed by Non-Resident Ministers. -isa
 Toronto, Ont, Dec 22.-Two hun i dred Canadian marriages contracted during the past two years have been found to be illegal and nearly seventy
 children born of these marriages ille- gitimate. These marriages were sol emniZed in Canada by clergymen resi- dent in the United States, who were very often relatives of one of the con- tracting parties, and as such guests al the weddings, and in other eases the clergymen were visiting in the lOcaIi- ties where the weddings took place and were invited to conduct the ceremonies as novelties.
 Several marriage registrars drew the attention of the Ontario government to these marriages and the premier, A. 5. Hardy, who is also the attorney gen eral, has declared all marriages sol emnized in the manner described as ab- solutely illegal. The law requires that all marriages be solemnized by judge, magistrate, marriage registrar or clergyman resident Of Canada and or dained to his sacred office by a Cana dian church organization, bishop, dea- con or elder.
 The heirship to valuable properties is in some cases affected and legislation is to be introduced making all such marriages legal and children born of them legitimate and expressly forbid ding such marriages in future.
