OF the ChinaInan VINO expired a few days ago I'M
der suspicious circunlst ances had died. with the
exception OF the monkey. and that it was in a
dying condition. An autopsy the rats and
guinea pigs showed that they had developed syup-

After discussing the matter the Board decided
that the Chinaman who died at No L0ol Dupont

was made for one hundred volunteers from among
members Of the medical profession make a

No alarm IS felt by physicians who discuss the

nature Of the disease from which the Chinaman
died. Consul-CeneraI Ho Vow says:
believe this is nothing more or less than ruse

been threatened on account Of the aeolis acts
Of last week in quarantining the Chinese quarter.
There never any bubOnic plague in Chinatown.

The case in question made the subject Of a

hesitate that the public need be alarmed.

A Quaint Wedding Custom.

Inc shying of an old shoe after a
neWIy-married pair Is a custom which
mas naturally aroused much curiosity
as TO Its origin. The ancient practice
or marriage by capture has often been
nauieo In to explain the practice: the
Old shoe flung after the bride was
aKen to be a survival Of the somewhat
hurried way in which her friends SUD-
pIleo her trousseau. A writer in Mac
milan on Anglo-Saxon womanhood
offers another explanation. In the old
saxon marriage: After the ceremony
the brides father, Or guardian, gave
n purchase-money to her husband
receiving from him In return a wea. or
security, that he was willing to fulfill
his part Of the bargain, whence comes
our modern word wedding. For this
settlement the brides friends made
themselves responsible, and could be
called upon to refund the money If the
father failed to pay it. The father then
gave the brides shoe to the husband.
who touched his wife on the head with
1t, as a sign that he claimed marital
authority over her, and that he took
her future maintenance and guardian
ship on himself. This explains the
origin of the custom that we still re-
tain OF throwing old shoes on the we'd
ding-day after the departing couple.
May we connect with this custom the
German phrase for a'domineering wife
that "she carries the slipper?

Texas its waters played a mighty part
In the destruction of life and property.
One night, as the food was beginning
TO overspread the farming lands, a
young man named Fritz MCGEE was
wakened by the distant roar. He rose,
hurried out, and after some difficulty,
secured a single frail rowboat and
started alone on the work of rescue.
All through that terrible night he
worked among the negro cabins scat
tered over the flooded bottoms, and be-
fore morning he had rescued seventy
nv human beings, men, women and
children, and had conveyed them to
high and safe ground. It is doubtful
whether a single mar ever before saved
SO many lives, one by one, in sc short
a time. Fritz MCGEE, Farmland, row.
ing his fragile skiff through the dark
ness over the turbulent water, is a fig
ure to stir the noblest feelings.
