A NEW WEDDING CUSTOM.
An Elaborate Attempt to Have Fur
with a Bridal Couple on
Train.

A passenger on train out OF New
York the other night observed the most
elaborate attempt to have fun with a
young married couple that he ever
encountered, says the New York Sun.
After the train left Trenton, man
passed through the car and laid on
every seat a printed handful. 1t an
nounced that at Philadelphia, young
married couple, then seated in the
drawing-room of car Of which the
name was given, were to leave the
train.
They were described briefly, and no
tice was given that they would be more
closely indicated when the train
stopped. The handful closed with the
announcement that rice would be dis
tributed among the passengers and
they were requested to make the GUS
tomary use of it.
In accordance with the notice the dis
tributor of the original announce
ments appeared in a few minutes and
laid on the seat of every passenger a
paper bag of rice. The train soon
reached Philadelphia and some of the
passengers went to the platform to
see what effect this elaborate attempt
to worry the young people would
have.
Apparently it was failure. The
bridal couple ahghted and a party OF
five or six friends pelted them with
rice. But the rest of the passengers
paid no attention to the matter.

The Pay of Federal Judges.
Philadelphia Press.

Attorney General Knox, in his annual
report, recommends an increase IN the
salaries of the Federal judges. 1t Is
subject that ought to have favorable con-
sideration at an erly day.
The Judges of the Supreme Court of the
United States receive $40, 900 year, with
the exception of the chief justice, who has
an additional $500. The salary of circuit
judges is Sc, 900 and that of district judges
S., 900. This is small pay for the ability
and character required Of these places and
for the labor that must be done. 1t must
also be taken into account that many Of
these judges are required to 90 about q
good deal and hold court in different
places.
There is probably no man fit to SIT on
the Federal bench who could not easily
earn much more than the judicial salary IN
the practice of his profession, though the
honor of the position is the temptation TO
make the sacrifice. Apart from the only
favorable thing is the fact that it is life
place, the incumbent being properly free
from any concern about election or re'elec'
ton. 1t has been fortunate thing for
the country ever since the organization oil
the Government that few mistakes have
bee made in the selection of men for the
bench. Lawyers of the best character
and distinguished ability have been will
ing to serve, and they should be properly
paid.
Many of the States reward their judges
far better than the general Government
This is particularly true Of New York.
One-third of the Common Pleas and
Orphans Court judges in Pennsylvania
receive higher salaries than the United
States district judges, while the pay of the
Judges of the Supreme and Superior courts
of the State is larger than that of the Fed
eral circuit judges, and no discriminating
citizen will pretend that any Pennsylva-
MIA Judge who is fit for his place is paid
too much,
There should be no niggardlness on the
part of the Government in such matter
as this. 1t justly exacts the most scrupu'
lous service and it should be just in re-
warding it. The Attorney General has
made very reasonable and proper sug-
gestion.

AN INFANTS WILL.
A Baby Princess Gives Her First
Answer to a Formal
Petition.

The little Princess Yolanda of Italy
has just granted her first favor and af.
firmed her power of doing good as a
royal princess, says a London ex-
change.
An old lady, widow of an officer, who
has for years bothered chamberlainS,
ministers, deputies and even King
Humbert himself to obtain more
money for her late husbands services,
was struck recently with a capital
idea.
She wrote a petition which she d.
rected to "Her Royal Highness, the
Princess Yolanda, Quirinal."
The document fell, of course, into the
hands of the king, who read 1t, and,
with imperturbable seriousness, said
to his chamberlain: "Take this to the
princess, please, and make her &C
quainted with the contents"
The marquis, on arriving before the
cradle of the royal baby, bowed
deeply, and, to the surprise of the
nurses, gravely read aloud the petit
ton to her. Then he retired to the
king.
"Well, what did the princess say?"
asked Victor Emanuel. Nothing at
all, your majesty" Gall right. Silence
gives consent. See that the old lady
gets her wishes attended to-"

AN INTERESTING SPOT
Point Where Colorado, Utah, New Mexico
and Arizona Meet.

st Louis Republic.
1t NAV seem broad statement to one
who hears it for the first time that the
only place where four States, Territories
or provinces join is that point where Colo
RADIO, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona
meet. Not only is this the only flour
corners" in the United States but 1t 10 the
only "corner" of its kind in the world.
Although the locality is unique in this
respect, it is one not often visited, as 1t IL
not easy of access. Few tourists care to
endure the hardships of a pilgrimage to
see the monument which marks the spot.
The stone was erected by the United
States Government surveyors and is SINH
liar to those used to mark their boundary
lines. On the simple shaft in the center
Of the rocks is inscribed the names of the
States and Territories which touch the
spot.
The monument s reached by a trail
which leads from the road between Nav
ajo Springs and Aneth, Utah. The tral
leaves the road near Scott's trading post
close to the Utah line, and crosses the Sar
Juan River. Then its course is along
spur of the Corriza Mountains until j
comes to the top of the spur, where thu
shaft is situated. 1t is in the midst OF
country once densely populated by th'
cliff dNellers. The ruins of their homes
are all about this section. The point Ii
nearly one hundred miles from Mancos
COL, the nearest railroad town. Were i
not for the rocks \ wagon could be PLACED
SO that the four wheels would be IN al
many different States.
The monument was destroyed a few
years ago by the Navajos, but was rebuff
last summer.

NEED OF WATER DRINKING.
nCOnataRt Use of Natures
Fluid.

A well-known nerve specialist has
said that "all Inconsistencies Chat is,
people with unhealthy nerves. have
desiccated nerves and suffer from an
insufficiency of fluid in the tissues OF
the body" 1t is probable that we all,
in more or less degree, even when not
conscious of any definite symptoms,
are suffering in some part of our sys-
tenn for the lack of enough fluid, and
especially enough pure, cool water,
says Youths Companion.
We know that so nicely is the hui
mon body adjusted and adapted to its
uses that one part cannot suffer with
out all suffering. If the nerves are
desiccated, or dried through lack Of
fluid, then it is certain that other It's
sues are also suffering from the same
lack, and that the wheels of the won
derful machinery are being clogged by
reason of waste matter which is not
washed away.
We see by this that water does for us
a three-fold service. 1t feeds, it washes.
and it carries away the cinders of the
body furnace; and through the want
of it we are exposed to many and great
dangers. The tissues become too dry.
the blood is thick and it's flow sluggish,
and the retained waste of the body
sets up a condition which the doctors
call administration" or self-poison'
ing. This condition may give rise to
almost any known symptoms, from
pimple to heart failure, and is really
responsible for most of the semi-in-
valids with whom the world is largely
peopled.
To obtain the best results from wa
ter-drinking certain rules should be OBJ
served. People do not all need the same
amount, and it may take little ex-
perimenting to find out just how much
should be taken in individual cases. 1t
has been stated by some physicians
that five or six pints should be taken
during the "a hours. OF this only
moderate quantity should be taken
with the meals. 1t is a mistake to
take no water with a meal, but it is
perhaps a greater mistake to wash
food down with water, especially with
ice-water.
The best time for water-drinking is
at night and early in the morning. 1t
is we'll to form the habit of slowly sip
ping, during the bath and while dress
ing, two or three glasses of cool-not
ice-cold-water. Two or three more
may be slipped at bedtime, and again
two or three glasses an hour or two
before luncheon and before dinner.
In very shsrt time the value of this
habit will become apparent in the re-
sultant general improvement in diges-
ton, temper and appearance.

Usefulness of the Bat.
Savannah News.


The cruel practice of capturing num-
Der of bats and crucifying them on the
doors of barns, stables, or even of houses,
has been somewhat abandoned, even in
the country. But due credit is not given
to the great services which these ugly
creatures render. 1t can be said that,
after the birds, it is the most useful aid OF
the aericuIturst.- 1t Iuakes war of ex-
termination on the innumerable insects
and caterpillars which devastate the crops.
1t devours flies by millions and millions.
Some figures based on the authority OF
learned naturalists are remarkable. For
one of his repasts Oat does not eat less
than thirteen caterpillars, and in twenty
four hours the smallest specimen will cas-
lily eat eighty flies or more. Besides, this
ugly thing is extremely clean; as much so
as the most refined cat.
