Quaint NupfiAI Ceremony Wftnessed
By = ChieaEOaa Visiting In
the East.

A recent Chicago visitor to the east
writes thus descriptively of Quaker
nuptial ceremony he had the privilege
of attending:
AT a Quaker wedding last week,
where there were no display, decora-
tions, maids or groomsmen, the air
seemed charged with joy. After ST.
lence of several minutes the guests
arose, and the bridegroom, taking the
hand of the bride, said: In the Divine
presence and before this assembly
take Patience b TO be my wife,
promising to be to her faithful and
affectionate husband until death shall
separate u.s. The bride responded: 1
take thee. John j, TO be my hus-
band, promising to be faithful and af-
fectionate wife until death shall sep
arate u.s. A prayer was made, the bride
groom kissed the bride, and after con-
gratulations had been said all re-
paired to the dining-room, where the
breakfast was spread. The table was
set with the family silver and china,
which had come from England with the
great-grandfather of the bride, and
there was n single rose al each corner.
After the breakfast the entire party
accompanied the happy pair across the
meadow to their new home and were
shown the gifts of loving friends. One
Of the guests was heard to say as he
started homeward: What is the use of
all the fuss and worry attendant upon
even a moderately elaborate wedding,
when one can have such sweet time as
that was without them?'"

The Boston Pilot tells of an exhorter
who was holding forth on the common
and solemnly presented to his hearers
the alternative of salvation or damna-
tion-the King James Bible or the
Douay Bible" Among the audience
was citizen who had been imbibing
somewhat freely. This gentleman ap-
parently misunderstood the preacher,
for he yelled: "Hooray for the Dewey
Bible!" The crowd took up the cry
and the exhorter was compelled to sus-
pend further effort.

JEWELLERS IN MANILA.
They Are All Women and Are Pos
sesscd of Marvellous Skill
in Their Work.

One Of the odd features of the Philip
pines is the jewellers, whose skill is mar
velous. They are all women, and it is
strange that in other lands women have
not gone into this, the daintiest and
most es,hetic of employment. The
shops are small and gloomy and the
stock displayed is meager and unsatis-
factory. But if one wants to buy the
jewellers will exhibit such treasures
that any pocbntbook is too lean to buy
all the pretty things desired.
Necklaces Of pale pink coral, statu-
cites of the coral, rosaries with beads
exquisite in shape and tint; pendants
and chains of pearls, white and Pink
and yellow-all these are to be seen.
There are bewilderingly varied lot
of garnets shown, blood, orange and
yellow, the latter set in silver; silver
fihgree work is popular and small bowls
of mother-of-pearl. Gold is worked up
in pattern like lace. The women buy
the crude gold, make their own alloys,
draw out the wire thread and beat it
with hammers. They are equally skill
full with silver and do delicate fiiligree
work, very original and striking.
One woman showed necklace Of blue
enameled gold, set with gray pearls.
that was n harmony of tints. There are
pins and stickpins of blood rubies, hat
pins, belts and brooches, but few rings.
The rings are mostly enameled gold.

THE RATS Ut' CHICAGO.
Five Rodents TO Every One Of the
City's Population.
Poison aaA Cats Are of Little Avail
10 Ria the City of the Rap
idly Multiplying
Rodents.

When the Englishmsn who recently
wrote a bird book called the sparrow
the avian rat. doubtless he had the
great numbers of the birds in mind as
well as their rodent-like habits of life.
Yet. as n matter of fact, the sparrows,
though in multitude they are like the
leaves on the trees before the army
worm arrived, are in reality far less
numerous in this big city than are the
great gray rats. There are in Chicago
probably about five rats for every man,
woman and child within the city's con-
fines.
Rats are repulsive at best, and nearly
everybody is afraid of them. Possibly
not much cheer will be derived from
this statement that there are living in
and about the city's houses, stores and
waste places some 100000 of these
cruel-toothed, sleek, sharp-eyed crea-
lures.
The rat probably has more enemies
than any other animal on earth. Its
prosecutors, animate and inanimate,
come in the form of poison, traps, cats,
dogs, birds, ferrets and men. Some or
all of these agents are at work con-
stantly. and yet the city rat thrives'
wakes fat and raises large family.
1t is asserted by authorities that Chi
cago has more rats in proportion TO its
size than any other city on earth. The
conditions here are peculiarly adapted
10 the preservation Of the species.
Under the wooden sidewalks, which are
still to be found at places even in the
heart of the city. the rats have haven
of refuge. When driven from buildings
by cats or by ferrets kept for the pur-
pose, the Chicago rat makes straight
for the nearest wooden pavement and
under it digs burrow. The rat is
true gamin--shnrp, cunning and, when
necessity requires it, bold. Boldness is
the Chicago rats birthright, for in its
veins flows Viking blood. Chicagos
rat came from Norway. and its first act
was to kill or drive out all the black rats
which were Indigenous TO the =
lean soil.
II anyone should wonder why, is
that despite all its enemies the city rat
manages TO increase in numbers he may
satisfy his curiosity and gain wisdom
Mt the same time by taking spade and
digging out rat hole at almost any
time between MnNh l and October l.
These months are the family rearing
times. and during this period three
broods are sent out by each old pair 10

Destruction of Niagara Falls.

The announcement that ledge of
rock has fallen, making Niagara falls
once more "C"-shaped cataract. marks
another step in the process which
sooner or later, will result, it is pre-
dicted, in the total destruction of the
falls. The terrific force of the water
falling over n precipice $50 feet high
gradually wears away the soft lime
stone underlying the harder strata over
which it runs, so that year by year
; .je top of the falls recedes. In the
last 80 years some parts Of the falls
have receded $50 feet. In 1880 thu
famous Table Rock, which had beer
n feature of the falls for years. was
obliterated. At the present rate of
progress it will be hundreds Of years
before the great falls will be degraded
to the level of an ordinary riffie,--Chi-
