UPSTATE WEDDING IDEAS.
Bridesmaid Brought in q Pillow On
Which Was the Ring Held
by q Stickpin.

The region vaguely known to the
average New Yorker as "up the state"
is unlike Heaven in one or two respects.
One point of difference is that up the
state there is still marrying and giving
in marriage. Of course some commen-
tators explain the matrimonial stagna-
ton in Heaven on the theory that only
married people are considered to have
earned the joys of Paradise. But that's
neither here nor there. The point is
that they keep right on getting mar
ried in New York state, and not always
in the good old way. Once in awhile
what certain young couple did few
weeks ago.
Theirs was a church wedding, and
when the procession moved up the
aisle the people almost forgot to look
at the bride because they were so
curious to find out what under the
shining kerosene lamp chandelier the
bridesmaid was carrying. She held it out
in front of her, supporting it with both
hands, and bearing it with as much care
as if it had been the future happiness
of the young couple, or something as
fragile.
AS she glided slowly by, the eager
spectators near the aisle saw that she
carried small pillow, incased in white
satin and ornamented with baby rib
| bon bows. But it was not until later
that they found out what reposed upon
that pillow. When the minister got to
the point where the bridegroom or the
| best man generally begins to tumble
nervously in his various pockets in an
| ofttimes fruitless search for the ring
the pillow mystery was solved. Turn
ing triumphantly to the bridesmaid the
bridegroom drew handsome stickpin
so described in the local account
from the pillow, thus releasing the we'd
ding ring, which had been fastened
| thereon. Such was one of the little
originalities from up the state.--N. Y.

OUR GARDEN.

In English as She Is Wrote.
AS soon as cold weather is done
Our garden is gayly begone,
But ere we are through
We find it Is trough
That farming is work and no fone.
When the ground isn't wet so it kneads
We dig it and plant little kseads.
And then as they grow
We rake and We how
Or else our whole crop would be kweads.
At first we endure long drought
That burns all the green things abought.
Then rain brings flood
That turns into mood
The beds we so nicely laid ought.
Smart chickens (our neighbors, of courss)
March in like an army in fourse
And scratch with both feet;
Cows come in and eet
Our corn without any remourse.
The moles in their velvety suits
Make burrows, destroying the ruits;
Caterpillars, like thieves
Get away with the lieves
And pigs tear the ground with their snuits
Though nightly we keep sharp eye
On our melons, small boyx who are sleye,
And probably tough,
Crawl in and just slough
The melons we eat we must beye.
The cats on our onion patch fight;
Dogs roll on our bush beans for spight;
Stray horses will tread
Big holes in each bead
And make us say things not polfght.
We work till all over we ache;
No rest in a hammock we tache;
We toll till the sweat
OF our brow makes us weat
And the sun makes US verify bache.
While others are off in a yacht
Enjoying themselves when 1t Is hacht
AS sad as a ghost
We must stay home and rhost,
For that Is the gardeners s lacht.
In spite of our efforts designed
To furnish a profit we fgned
Our garden in debt,
And that, you can bebt,
Doesn't add to the peace Of our migned.
We say when each summer Is gone
That our garden next year'll be lone.
And we'll veg tables buy
So in bed we can luy
While others get up before done.
But when spring gives a charm to the scene
And makes US and everything serene.
For all we are worth
We dig up the eorth
For the squash, pea, tomato and sbene.

Gus; they will not be the mental or
moral equals of their parents. 1t is
therefore impossible to Americanize
the Philippines through American set
tiers. All we can do is to govern them
so justly as to assist the Filipinos in
raising themselves to higher political
and mental state.
There would be no need of large
army to preserve order. In 1851 the
Spaniards only had seven battalions of
infantry, two squadrons of lancers and
about 1000 artillerymen. The latter,
and the sergeants of the other troops,
were Spaniards, the others natives.
This force was kept in Manila. Cavite
was garrisoned by the navy, and the
rural districts had native police under
Spanish officers. This army was large
enough until the Spanish-French expe-
dition to Cochin-China caused new bat
talions of infantry to be raised for
foreign service. Subsequently Spanish
misgovernment and over heavy taxa
tion made the natives rebellious; and
then came the supposed need of more
troops. What was really needed was
justice, official honesty and moderate
taxation. All good government rests
on good finance. That is, on low taxa
tion, collected honestly and levied in
accordance with the ideas, customs and
even the prejudices of the taxpayers.
The Filipinos are accustomed to pay
both import and export duties, through
the custom houses at the ports of entry
established in the islands. These taxes
give the maximum of revenue with the
minimum of expense in collection, and
the least possible friction to the tax
payer. In fact, the native grower oi
sugar, hemp, tobacco aud coffee rarely
knows that he pays export duties,
which, being paid only when the pro-
duce is exported by the merchant ship
per, come upon the grower Indirectly.
The same is true of import duties i
levied on a moderate scale. The i'm
porter pays them and the native con.
sumner knows nothing about them
Both, of course, affect prices, but this
is not like paying to tax collector.
All needed revenue to cover every
expense incurred by the United States
in the just administration of the islands
including moderate military estab
lishment, can be raised through the
custom houses, as was done during the
better days of Spanish rule.
This would leave the large and fruit
full field of local taxes to be entirel,
devoted to local needs. Each provinc,
or district should have its own budget
supporting its own schools, roads ant
other local charges.

PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

The travelling library has been intro
luced in Idaho.
John Hare rarely requires more than
j month to study part, and while
studying it always wears the clothes in
which he is to appear on the stage.
William M. Chase, the celebrated
American artist, says he wanted to be
a painter from boyhood, although he
had to begin life as a clerk in a shoe
store.
In one of the scrap books of Senator
Burrows, of Michigan, is picture of
the senator at the age of 10, which
shows him with beard of extraor-
dinary length for one of that age.
Emile Zola's private charities are
said to be larger, in proportion to his
means, than those of any man in Paris,
but he dislikes notoriety, and is gener-
ally unwilling to have his name figure
upon any subscription list.
Paris has, if M. Emile Bergerat
speaks the truth, nearly as many lit
erary factories as sausage and maca-
roni shops. Writers are engaged at
L
to elaborate stories of murder and
other crimes which are sold to the
newspapers.
| Prof. Leonard Stejneger, a United
States government expert, says that
whisky, instead of being an antidots
for snake bites, according to popular
belief, is really an aggravation of the
trouble, as it accelerates the circula.
tion of the blood and hurries the poi
son through the veins and arteries
with greater rapidity.
| Car Nicholas II. is said to have ar
aversion to the needless slaughter Of
animals of any kind. He has recently
forsworn the pleasure Of the chase
and the shooting of game, and since
his suite, from motives of policy, re
frain from indulging in this pastime
the birds and beasts in the imperia
preserves live in undisturbed quiet.

Having given cheerful assent to this,
he is somewhat surprised when she re-
verts to the old subject.
"'He was such an impetuous lover.
Miss Graeme is always saying, ready
to run across a country if a pretty
woman beckoned and such a favorite
with all that he daren't show special
favor to one lest Ee break the hearts
of Dozen"
His emphatic disclaimer passes quite
unheeded. This sweet-faced, gray
eyed woman is evidently warming to
ker theme.
"Do you know when 1 listen to all

don't like it. and when see some wom-
an who must haze been lovely in her

MATURE evidently meant this
IN place to be picturesque, but men,
those puny children Of hers, who are
forever thwartiug her designs, have
done their best to make it common
place.
Point Aux Pins on a warm Septem-
ber evening is looking its best, and
two people, at least, are regarding it
with marked satisfaction. These are
the Denison twins, and it is their elder
sister who stands little way of, idly
scattering pine needles and talking
with big, honey man dozen years
her senior. Of the city world is he,
with the stamp of the city's greatness
and WEAKNESS on him. There are lines
in his face which tell the story Of 40
odd years of living somewhat too plain
ly, yet he does not seem old, and when
he laughs at some remark of the girls
his merriment has a ring in it which
rarely crosses over from youth into
middle age.
"We two stand here with never a
third-unless we count the twins
