Curious Test for n Husband.

Both in the northern and western islands of Scotland the natives have some peculiar customs unfamiliar 10 the dwellers of the mainland. one of these, known as the marriage test,
 is practiced in the island of St. Allaa, where the population barely exceeas q hundred. The desire among the islanders to increase this number does not seem to be exceptionally strong, and every man, before he is deelneu suitable for a husband has to perform an evolution with no little bodily FISK, The St. Kildans are, of course, adeps rock-climbers, and the aspirant TOT matrimony is therefore subjected o @ the test of balancing himself on ohe leg on a narrow ledge overhanglns, ,a precipice, bending his body at 'ns same time in order to hold the foot ss os his other leg in his hands.

AT ELLERSON SUNDAY.
Colored K. of P's. and G. U. 0. of o.
 F, Have an Outing.

About 1400 people gathered at Ellerson Sunday to witness the an nual sermons of the K. of P. and G. U. O. of Q. F. The day was divided between the two orders. The morn ing was given to the Knights, with their gallant Grand Chancellor War ren in command. An able sermon was preached to the Knights at II o'clock; after which a large collec- tion was taken, aud a biz basket dinner was spread and this mass of people assembled around and be- heath the shady grove.
 The afternoon was given to the Odd Fellows, who made it an inter- esting one with their brief but well prepared program.s
 Representing Knights from thls city were Forrest Gay aud $. c. Pryce, who also advocated the Grand Lodge which meets here in July. Representing Odd Fellows were E. E. 'FIuker, Grand Master, and Ed Jefferson.
 Both sermons were preached by Rev. Washington. They were fore. ible and full of fraternalism.
 Too much cannot be said in praise of the manner in which the Grand Chancellor and represen tatives of both orders who left Pine Bluff to visit the sister lodges, were treated by Sirs and Brothers W. E. Miller. John Clay, Robt Bishop, ct al.

Gr'eved over the loss of her little ones, Tounette, a beautiful black Am gors. cat, put an end to her life most strangely.
 Her litter of kittens were drowned, being very much in the way, and when Tounette returned her grief at their absence knew no bounds.
 Going to the top floor of the tene- ment house the cat acted in a peculiar manner.
 She looked down, pondered a while, then deliberately leaped over and was dashed to death on the pavement be- low.
 A cat always falls on it's feet, but Tounette's head struck first, for she de liberately doubled up her feet and would not be saved

The old adage, "When thieves fall out, honest men get their just de- serts, was never better illustrated than by the Dreyfus case in France. The men who were instrumental in Dreyfus' conviction are now either in prison or fugltives from justice, charged with forgery, as it has been proven beyond a shadow of doubt that Dreyfus is entirely innocent of tLe crime for which he has been placed in solitary confinement on Devils Island for five long years. It may be said to the credit of France and her courts, that they have at last found their error and are correcting it as rapidly as jus tice can be dealt out.

The ugly demonstration against M Loubet, President of France, at a race course in Paris last Saturday is disgrace to the French nation. A pity indeed that every country should be cursed with a certain class of people who disgrace themselves and their country at every opportg- nity. It is reported that the Coun- tess de Casteuane, who was Miss Anna Gould, was connected with the disgraceful attempt to insult and injure President Loubet. We believe the report to be false, for the fair Anna, we trust, will never for get that she is an American.

He had a stick seven or eight feet long, with wire clamps fastened to it's sides and papers stuck in them. On the top there was small metal cup with a hole in the bottom. The hole was a very important part of the apparatus, for it reached all the way down through the stick and through it came the copper coins or one or two sous, according to the price of the paper selected by the patron.
