ro,FRAME BRIDES PICTURE.
How New Chicago Matron Remem-
bered Her Friends.

How q Now Chicago Matron Remem-
bered Her Friends.
A recent Chicago bride who was go
ing out of town to live distributed
photographs of herself and farewell
gifts to her relatives and friends and
had them framed in a unique and at
tractive manner. They were to be
mounted under glass in the manner
familiar to all and known as passe-
partout, but instead Of the usual mat
of linen or cardboard she used a ma
terial which was especially appropri-
ate. and one which made frame as we'll
asas picture worthy of being pre-
served among the family heirlooms.
The picture which she gave her
mother had a mat Of the white satin
which had been used for her wedding
dress. and across one corner was
bit of the lace with which the dress
was trimmed To a sister she gave
a picture also mounted in the while
satin. but with design OF orange
blossoms embroidered upon 1t, while
the mount for the one given her maid
of honor was Of the white satin en-
broidered with a graceful spray OF
bride roses. Friends less near re-
ceived pictures mounted with the
goods which had gone to make up the
different gowns of her troussseau. The
mount made from the material OF her
"going-away gown" had forget-me-
nots embroidered in small scattered
sprays, while some of the silk and
figured goods were made up plain, be-
ing sufficiently decorative in them
selves. In each case the mounted pic
ture was bound in the glass with a
narrow strip of soft leather in shade
to correspond with the color OF the
mount. Upon the back of each was
plainly written the name and date OF
the wedding. 1t is needless to state
that the gifts were priced as the pic
lures alone never could have been,
and it is safe to predict that other
brides will follow the graceful fashion

Burst an Artery washing His Face.

Because George Fisher, o Lehigh
Valley freight handler. washed his
face rather vigorously a few days ago
before breakfast, he came near bleed
ing to death. He was rubbing the
skin under his left eye, when suddenly
he felt warm stream running down
his face, and in an instant discovered
that it was blood. The red fluid
spurted out in such volume that Fisher
became alarmed when he found him
self powerless to check the flow. A
carriage was hastily summoned, and
he was rapidly driven to the Fitch
Hospital. When he arrived there he
was weak and was fairly drenched
with blood.
The surgeons discovered that he
was suffering from spontaneous rup-
ture of the infraorbital artery, which
is situated just below the eye. The
ends of the artery were gathered up
and rejoined. Buffalo Evening News.

Jerry Morrow, "the little man OF
Turkeyfoot," across the river from
Steubenville, Ohio, died recently. He
was twenty nine years of age, was only
about forty inches high and weighed
about thirty eight pounds. His brain
development, considering his small
physique, was wonderful and he pos
sessed scholarly tastes aud was
natural musician. He was never ex'

An electrical tree has been discov-
cred in India. It's leaves are so highly
charged with electricity that whenever
one is touched the individual investi-
eating receives a shock that almost
knocks him down. Even upon the
magnetic needle this tree, which has
been given the name of Philotcea cleo
trica. has a strong influence, causing
magnetic variati ms at distance OF
seventy feet. The electrical strength
of the tree varies according to the time
of day, being most powerful at noon.
John Glenn, of Urbana, Ohio, died
the other day after having made a
record for eccentric VOWS. Because
his father bought what he thought
was better suit for his brother than
for him, he vowed that he would not
wear coat for twenty years. Another
time he took offense at some trilling
thing and vowed he would not leave
his house for twenty years. and for
twenty years he was a voluntary pris'
oner. Except for few eccentricitles
like these he was said to have been
quite sane.
It is noted in the report OF the New
York Geological Society that an alliga-
tor from the Indian River, Florida,
was brought to the gardens in July,
1899. and then measured twelve feet
and one inch. Since then there has
been added four inches to his length,
which is remarkable rate OF growth
for so large an alligator. In the bird
house the experiment has been tried
of decorating the walls which form
the backs Of the cases with landscapes,
and this has been so successfully done
that the cranes have several times
tried to walk through the wall.

Let us now compare the power i'm
prisoned in this black diamond with
the work of strong man accustomed
to hard labor. Many observations
show that such a man can do, on an
average. about one-tenth Of horse
power. Allow him eight working
hours, equal to 480 minutes. During
this time he occasionally stops for
short rests, to change his position, to
pick up another tool, to judge of the
result of his work and to plan for
further procedure. This will easily
consume one-tenth of the time, leaving
1872 minutes, which, at one-tenth OF a
horse power gives him total effect OF
1872 horse power as the result OF his
DAYS labor. This pound of coal con-
tains more than su ficient power to d
in one minute the days work OF five
such strong men. Or it would take
about $500 strong men, working stead
lily side by side, to do jointly as much
work in one minute as nature mas
locked up for us, ready at our call, In
q single pound Of coal.
An exceptionally strong man has
been known to do one-half horse power
of work as his mightiest effort, but in
two and half minutes work at this
rate he exhausts his muscular force.
Let us suppose 100 such men putting
forth such extreme effort at rope, Oh
