A BOER GIRLS WEDDING.
A Picturesque Affair Preceded by
Sports and Followed by Pro-
IOnged Gnyety.

A wedding is always an event OF al
most national Importance, and is really
a most picturesque ceremony. The
friends and relatives may arrive Gay
or two ahead of time, according TO the
distance to be Travelled, and the Boer
homestead becomes a most animated
scene. Scores of oX-teams are scattered
about the surrounding plain; negro
servants are bustling around; guns are
fired promiscuously whenever more
guests arrive; dancing, feasting and
coffee drinking are carried on in the cot
tage, and everywhere around it; i'm
Dromptu shooting matches and horse
races are decided, and JOY is uncon-
fined. After the ceremony, and after all
the guests have kissed the bride and
bridegroom, the wedding feast is eaten,
and then the guests spend the night
in dancing and playing games. 1t would
be a breach of etiquette for any OF the
guests to depart before the dawn, and,
indeed, the fiddler's music and the
sound made by the dancing feet are
often heard until noon of the following
day. The wedding tour consists of a
Journey to the cottage and farm which
the husband has secured from his
father and which adjoins the old home

saws ten hours q day steadily, day
after day, until his sentence expires.
He must saw regardless of the wealth

he is compelled to continue saving;
and if the day has not ten hours OF

him to put in a full day When the

THE BULLS TRIUMPH.

Generally speaking, there can be but
no end to a Spanish bullfight, the
Feath of the bull. 1t is with a GER

,ads "a story told in Andalusia."
There was once a gentleman of noble
blood. so the tale goes, who bred a ia
nous race Of bulls among the noun
&airs. Not so very far away was a
. bull ring. One day the managers of
+ bp ring received an offer from the
yrer of the herd. He informed them
. bat he had two bulls in magnificent
Cpdition which he was willing to send
. Iovn for the forthcoming spectacle,
1d he appended a proposal.
. IF these bulls are killed." he wrote,
. h will bear the entire expense of the
furida-about $4,000. You then shall
IHe four others from my herd, and [
d. pay the mdtadores and their re-
Epectiye trOupeS. If these bulls are
pot killed, you must be responsible
for the whole cost, as usual"
. The proprietors of the ring accepted
+ he offer with enthusiasm. They said
. .hCnS did not grow on the bull which
Fheir matadores could not kill. And
sunday was set aside for the trial.
On the appointed day a crowd in
Vaded the Plaza de Toros. An hour
before the time named on the posters
every seat was filled. The two bulls

azores appeared, clean-shaved. rigid
nouthed fellows, accompanied by their
attendants, and circled round the
arena. The people were half-blind
1ith the fever of expectation. At
length the president gave the signal,
and the first of the two bulls thun-
utred out into the ring of sand and

SHORT NEWS STORIES.
Mark Twain. sample Bicycle Ride
The Pluck of Cecil Rhodes.
Dewey's Neatness OF Dress.

A bicycle run on paper or the map of
the road book is likely to be snare
and n delusion for the unlnitiated, as
Mark Twain once discovered.
Mark Twain and his friend, the Rev.
Joseph III. Twichell, once planned BIZ
cycle ride from Hartford, their home,
to Boston and wrote beforehand to an
acquaintance In the latter city telling
him their line of route and what time
he might expect to see them arrive.
The appointed day was an ideal one
for a long run, and the two friends
started quite early in the morning.
But neither of them was accustomed
to long rides, so after IL or 10 miles
had been ridden 1t became apparent
that each of the riders was waiting
for the other to say something. Final
ly Twain said as they came in sight of
the railway station IN a small town
they had entered, Lets take the train
the rest of the way"
OF course Mr.. Twichell agreed, and
SO the acquaintance in Boston was
surprised by seeing the two friends
walk up to his door about o'clock In
the afternoon. He greeted them warm
ly and, addressing Mr.. TwichelL said,
"Well, you made pretty good time.
didn't your"
ooh, fairly good time for noyices"
was the reply.
what time did you leave Hartford"
he asked of Mr.. Clemens.

"What, you don't mean to say that
you have ridden all the way from
Hartford to Boston on your bicycles"
NO" replied Mark Twain, "but we

Is traced to the sewers, whence the
vermin have been driven by recent I'M
provements into the central markets

Of rats so great as to defy attack are
ravaging the food depots. The suburbs,
| too, are threatened, and at Acheres
plain over 10000 rats were at one time
engaged in devouring two acres Of
Elbeet roots. The Danes have thus far
been the most successful in meeting
| the danger, and Paris has also con-
\ suited them. The Pied Piper Of the
modern rat will probably hail from

AS result of the ruling prices ex-
tensive preparations are being made
by the farmers of the cotton States to
increase the acreage and yield of the
staple the present year. The shortage
in last years crop and the realizing of
from to Scents on crop planted and
raised on cent basis, has apparently
turned the heads of the multitude and
past mistakes of overproduction and
low prices are likelyto be repeated I'M
til these dire experiences return. No
wise farmer will be misled by present
conditions. The farmers whose condi-
ton was the best through the trying
financial crises of the past and who are
best off at present, are the ones who
have always made it a rule to raise
enough provisions at home to live on
and planted cotton as surplus crop.
And these will continue to be the in
dependent farmers. 1t doesn't pay to
raise cotton, even at 10 cents, and buy
everything else consumed on the farm.
