Ameng ignorant people OF English
birth 1t IL fully believed that a wife
bought with money or goods is legally
married IL the purchaser leads her all
the way home by a halter.
Mr.. Barring Gould. the English anti
guardian, tells of a village poet known
to him who bought a wife for a half
crown and led her 10 miles to his cot
tage.
The squire and the rector protested
to the village poet that he was not
legally welded.
"Why, yes I be-" he replied. "1'll
take my Bible oath I never once took
the halter of till ehe'd crossed the door
sill and the door was shut
The latest instances of such wife sales
occurred in 1858 and 1850, when wom-
en- were sold in Little Horton and in
Dudley. In these cases a blue ribbon
took the place of the straw halter.
But. gentle ladies. the symbolic idea
was the same.

Strange Feat. Of Eye and Hand.

An expert who prided himself upon
the smallness of his writing sent the
president Of the French academy a
grain Of wheat on which he had writ
ten 221 words. A Polish poet wrote
all Of Homer's "Iliad' on a piece Of
paper which could be rolled up small
enough to 60 into a nutshell.
In the sixteenth century man named
Mark offered to Queen Elizabeth a gold
chain Of 80 links. The chain was SO
fine it could not be seen unless it was
put on a sheet of white paper. To
prove its lightness Mark tied it to q fly,
which few away with it.. The most
curious fact in this matter, which re-.
quired SO extraordinary a facility Of
touch for making this ornament, was
that Mark was blacksmith, accus-
toned to all kinds Of heavy tools all
day long.
A Spaniard, Joseph Faba, made q
carriage as large as a grain Of wheat.
Under a magnifying glass it was pos
sible to see the interior fitted up with
seats, every detail being carried out to
observation-disclosures City Journal.

An Awful Blunder.

At a Rosenthal recital in Seattle q
young pianist of considerable social
prominence sat in q stage box and fol-
lowed the performance by means of
the scores Of the several morceaux
which composed the programme. She
was evidently deeply interested. and
stopped at intervals to exchange notes
with a companion who sat behind her.
All went beautifully until the artist
came to the last piece, a tremendously
heavy List. In the midst Of an intri-
cate passage, the lady, much excited,
rose in her box, holding out the roll OF
music toward the stage. 'Thats
wrongl That's wrong" she cried.
"You should have crossed your hands
there."-San francisco Wave.

City Boys Idea.

A Gallatin county farmer hired a
boy from the city to assist him through
the summer. The farmer, told the kid
to 20 out to the barn lot and salt the
calf. The kid took a quart of salt and
industriously rubbed it into the calf's
hide. The colts got after the calf for
the salt and had about all the hair
licked off the animal before its condi-
lion was discovered. - Montgomery
