An old farmer and his wife, noted
for their niggardliness, had a custom of
allowing the servant only one match to
light the fire with each morning.
One morning the match failed TO kin
die, so the servant went to their bed
room door and asked for another one.
a whispered consultation was held
between the two; then audibly the wife
said:
"Will you risk her wi anither ane,

INTEREST in annexation plan in
Johnston seems just now to be in a
very quieScent state. The annexa-
ton movement in way resembles a
volcano. At times it belches forth
smoke, ashes and other things, and
at intervals it is as calm and serene
as a huckleberry hill in Foster cow
pasture. Just now the volcano is
undergoing a season of complete rest,
possibly made necessary by the su-
perhuman efforts of the Journal peo-
pie, who start the fires. 1t is no
wonder they get tired and need occa-
sional rest. Whether this calm is
one which precedes violent erup-
ton time will tell. The respite gives
Johnston people a chance to follow
the war scare. We would say that

OLD MARRIAGE LAWS. .
Queer Customs That obta ned in Past
 Cen. ur.o


 There are many curious features about the laws of marriage as admin istered under our early Anglo-SaNon and Danish kings, traces of which have survived in our existing jurisprudence. By the Anglo-Sa--on laws every woman was under the care of some man, who was termed her murdbora, or guardian: and no one could marry her without Having first paid sum of money as q compensation to her mundtora.
 The father, of course, WAS the guar dian of his unmarried daughters. the brother if the father died; and next to him the nearest male relative; if, how ever the female were friendless and alone, she found in the king her legal guardian. There were no runaway matches, no clandestinc and romantic nuptials, among the Saxon people; they did everything, even te their very love affairs, in a plain matter-of-fact way; they estimated the value of the maid according to her rank in life. and the law fixed the sum which should be re- garded as a legal-tender to satisfy the avariee of her guardians. The first step in courtship, therefore, was tobuy the consent of the Inurdbora; the lover was then admitted into the society of his ladylove, and allowed to claim her in due course as his wife. IT, however, her personal charms or her disposition proved, OF better acquaintance, unsatis- factory to her suitor, and he failed to complete his bargain, he became imEie- Gi3te1y 31nnnab1a to thf, lay-
 If a man vcntured to marry without first having bought and paid for his wife he was guilty of the crime of mund-breach, the consequences of which were both disastrous and vexa- tious. The husband, in such case, pos sessed no legal authority over his spouse; he was husband, in fact, with out wife: he could recover no compen- sation for any insult which another man should dare to offer her-she had not been paid for-the guardian had re- ccived no consideration; and all the damages or fines inflicted for such an insult were. payable 10 the womans mundbora.
 If man wished to take his wife into a foreign part, or into another thames land, he had to enter into a compact with her guardian that no wrong should be done to her, that she should receive every mark of attention and kindness. If man bought a maid and paid for her. no other could negotiate for her purchase; Eut if any fraud had been committed on her part. or on the part of her friends, she was returned home, and the man demanded back his money. st.

THE BRITISH BAND PLAYED.
Star Spangled Banner" Came From It
 as Dewey's Ships Started Action


 As our ships left their anchorage of Cavite and started for their stations ito begin the bombardment of Manila), the Englishmen also got under way, and then there occurred an incident that set the sailormen of Uncle Sam a-cheer- ing with will. The big English flag ship Immortalite had been in Mfrs Bay that April day when Dewey steamed out for Manila, and as his flagship passed her. the Englishman's band played American airs, winding up with .iEl Captain" Now, as the Olympia moved away, the Englishman's band began with "See the Conquering Hero Comes" Before the tune was half through, the battle tags were broken out from every truck and gaff in our feet The breeze was fresh and the big bright flags snapped like whip cords. Instantly the English band swung into the Star Spangled Banner,' and every man on every ship stood at attention and saluted as our ships steamed slowly by. Then. as the last bar of "The Star Spangled Banner died away, the band of the Immortal ite began "El Captain" The American sailormen remembered Mfrs Bay and their cheers rang across the water. You never have heard men really cheer, you never have felt men cheer till you have heard and felt American sailors going into a fight. Then you under stand what it means to be under the stars and stripes.-Manila Correspon- dence of the New York Sun.

A SMALL PERCENTAGE.

The losses by death of the American army in the war with Spain have been officially stated up to August 31. In Porto Rico were killed and 40 wound ed; in Manila, 15 killed and 9S wound ed; in Cuba, 260 killed and 1,431 wounded. These represent a total of PTS killed and 1,569 wounded in battle. To these are to be added 91 who have died from wounds received, 30 by ac- cidents and 2,225 by disease, or total of deaths to August 31 of 2,624 in an army of 265,G00 men, or a little less than one per cent. These figures will be somewhat increased by the deaths from disease since August 31, but even then the total will be less than 5000. The remarkable feature Of this show ing is the immunity of the navy, which has destroyed two Spanish fleets with the loss of only four CT five men.-Chi- cago Tribune.

LONDON IN TYP.
1t Was Considered a Joke to Turn Cattle
 Into d Ball Room.

Into a Ball Room.
 Can anyone tell ne anything of the city assembly rooms and the assembly rooms '.on the Surrey ssde,'' i. e., South wark, about the year 1772? The social side of the city about that time is curi- ously difficult to get at satisfactorily. For insta1lc when Catherine Hutton vert to London in 17s3, being then 27 years of age, she went with a certain MT. J. Wocdhouse and his mother. They called for her at 7:30 in the evening, the gentleman being dressed in suit of pale-blue French silk, spotted with pink and green, the coat lined with pink silk, his hair in bag, white feather in his hat, ( sword by his side, and his rEfae and frill of fine point lace. This seems very splendid. At the as sembly the men were chiefly in dress coats''-Eeaning, probably. of blue or pink silk, like that of MT. Woodhouse; those who were not wore ''eloth coats, trimmed with narrow gold lace, with waistcoats of silver tissue" and the hair "in queue, with curls flying out on each side of the head"
 The other ladies were covered with diamonds '::The subscription to the city assembly is three guineas; there are 200 subscribers and late nights; the subscribers are the first people in the city; the rooms are lighted with wax; the branches for the candies, the Urns for the tea and coffee ard the baskets for the cakes and macaroons are of silver" I want to know 1Eore about this assembly.
 As regards the Surrey assembly, all can tell you about 1t is that the room was on the ground floor, and that on a certain nighttime opening night of the season of I7.2 {?)-while the darcing was at its height, some wag threw open the front door and gave admission to a drove of oxen, which began to run about in a, most terrifying manner; some of the men drew their swords valiantly; others tumbed (,own; the ladies tainted and fell cvcr the men; ; caps. hoops, tippefs, handlscrciiefs were lying all about the floor. And the oxen believed and ran about. threatening with their horns.

 When the company gathered them selves together, and picked mp what tlisy could. being horribly disheveled, amid t.sc general wrcck-hooPs gone, wigs pulled to pieces, hcadgear de- strcyed. dresses torn-they proceeded. I suspect, to.refresh themselves wit the sprighfiy Mrs. Eanniter's stimulating huh. If anyone wi!l tel ne more about this assembly, I shall be grateful. Sir Walter Besant, in London Queen

FALLS WELL THAT ENDS WELL" |"
The Early Moments of 1897 Made Up for
 Past Neglect.

Four nights g. week and oEce on Sun days had Lancelot Gewgaw Eeen pay ing his attentions to the pretty Sy- raseIia Floordelec,- and there was yet quite lorg payroll before him. But in all that time l.e had not thought to say the thing that would have made liin. happy. Syrasella was q beautiful Icing. Her hair was so raven black that it left q mark on everything white, which is why Lanceiot always wore cclorcd gentlemen's furnishing goods. Her eyes were like twin comets, rush
 ing through space at each other, and she had many beautiful teeth. Alto gethcr she had the proper assortment of attractions calculated to make her face a thing of beauty.
 Lanceiot was not a chunp, although he wasn't saying a thing to her. He was simply lacking in assurance. He was q book agent, but that was his pro fcssion. His almost human ears hung on either side. of his head, tastefully covered over with real hair, and his eyes were of the true fioor-walker va riety. He was TO bargain-counter at traction, but special Monday mark down, and Syrasella knew 1t.
 And HOW they were seeing leap year go out together. He had talked about everything except the orc dead-easy. hackneyed. yet never stale subject, and as the hands on the clock chased them selves near to 12 she grew more and more beautiful as she seemed to be ,ierying herself up to the point of say ing few words herself. Suddenly the clock struck dozen times, and with a wild cry she cried out, saying: Ian cclot. why did I lose my chance? Leap year is gone for eight years"
 Lanceiot beat at his forehead with his clinched fish until the veins in his neck assumed the proper shade Of piir- rle. Then. stalking across the floor. he came back. IIc knclt in front of tlle diyinely beautiful girl, whose hair w#s making stFeaks over her gown. ifs tone was like the best quality. of honey: ''Syrasella, forgive me Give you- what?" shc nurmured. coyly, as she swept her cheeks with her long eye-lashes.
