1t is no uncommon sight to see Italian
women walking along the streets bal
ancing burdens on their heads that the
average man would prefer to have sent
home on truck.
few days ago one of these women
passed through City Hall park. On her
head she was carrying what appeared to
be the entire woodwork from the inter
ior of some house. The bundle was
made up of eight pieces of hard wood.
the shortest being fully IL feet in length.
Each piece was six inches in width and
an inch thick. The woman steadied this
burden with one hads, while in the other
she carried what one would consider a
good load for one person in the shape Of
a bundle Of shorter pieces of wood.
AS she turned into Center street, near
Chambers, the end of the load of lumber
on her head came in contact with the
head of a man who was going in the op-
posite direction. In order to prevent
hitting him too hard the woman tined
tc turn to one side, and as sne did SO
her burden fell to the walk. In vain
she tried to replace it on her head.
At last two men took hold of it, one at
each end They found that even their
combined strength was just sufficient to
lift it up and place it on the woman's
head again. When the wood was finally
adjusted in proper position the woman
picked up her smaller bundle and started
up Center street.-New York Times.

Married While Up a Tree.

When the minister and the two lovers
who were having tiff were all treed
by an angry bull, there followed the
queerest wedding on record. Charlie
Bangs and his sweetheart, Emma Swan
Zer, left their home near MOntrOse, a
town not far from Susquehanna, Pa.
one evening recently to go over to Great
Bend to attend the wedding of one Of
their friends. Charlie was feeling lit
tie f1irty that evening, and his attentions
tC other girls whom they met put Emma
out so much that when the time came
to go home the pair were on very poor
terms with each other. The minister
accompanied them, but it was a pretty
quiet, and on the part of the lovers, a
decidedly sullxy party.
On the way home they crossed a field
that was pre-empted by bull noted tor
his ugly disposition. The bull soon let
them know that they were trespassers,
and when he charged down upon them
all three scudded for the trees. Charlie
was in the lead and the minister COW
cred the rear Charlie also was the first
up the tree, but the minister waited
until he had boosted Emma up before he
sought safety. Once up there everyone
began to feel so much better that, in
spite of Charles haste to lead the re-
treat, a reconciliation was effected on
the spot-or rather on the boughs. Sud
denly it occurred to one of them that
here was a chance to have a record
the marriage ceremony was performed.
Pretty soon the owner of the bull came
along and drove the animal away, when
the liberated party went at once to the
home of the bridegroom to make merry

Made n Model Husband.

New Jersey, the land Of oddities, comes
to the front again with phenomenal
matrimonial agreement, absolutely with
out parallel anywhere. Some time
ago Hugo Kreig and his wife, of Haw-
thorne, had quarrel and separated. He
soon wearied of the condition of loneli-
ness into which the disagreement had
plunged him and prayed to be restored
her favor. The only condition upon
which she would consent to reunion
was that he subscribe TO the following
oath:
I'm consideration of the fact that my
wife allows me to return home and reside
there and enjoy her companicnship, love
and care. Hugo Kreig, do hereby prom

Vice Admiral Makaroff a distinguish
ed Russian naval officer is credited with
unique scheme for conquering the
north pole. 1t is nothing less than a
proposition to smash his way there by
aid of Russia's wonderful ice breaker,
the Yermak, which is 5000 tons dis
placement. This vessel of 10000 horse
power, was built for the purpose Of
keeping open the port of ST. Petersburg,
and it was successful in every way. The
Yermak was completed in March, 1899.
and was Immediately put at work. On
April 4, of that year, she smashed into
the ice on the Gulf of Finland, freed six
vessels that had been held fast in thu
ice for long time and brought them to
st. Petersburg. Three days later she
found 26 other vessels fast behind an
ice bank. She opened channel through
which the ice-bound craft came out A
third trip resulted in setting ten more
vessels free, while, little later, she
attacked the ice-packs at the mouth OF
the Neva and brought out 80 vessels
which had been held in the river for
weeks. In July, 1899, the Yermak was
sent farther north. On July 25 she
struck the ice north of the northwest
coast of Spitzenbergen, in latitude 80
degrees 20 minutes north and longitude
degrees 21 minutes east. From there
she proceeded north, slowly smashing
ice before her as she went. She ran
into ice-felds from 4.0S to AT meters
in thickness, and these were broken up
without the slightest difficulty. At
times she encountered ice 14.9 meters
thick, rising 6.13 meters above the sur
face of the sea. She found no difficulty
in forcing her way through these masses
of ice. Admiral Makaroff has long held
the theory that if a vessel powerful
enough to keep open communication
with st. Petersburg in the winter could
be built, it would be- possible to con-
struct another vessel with greater pow
er, with specially constructed bow and
with other special features, that would
be able to cut its way through to the
pole. Now he has, had new bow pre-
pared for the Yermakean she has been
otherwise strengthened, and he pro-
poses next summer to break her way
into the regions of the north pole. The
chief objection to this plan appears TO
be the apparent impossibility of carry
ing sufficient coal to effect the purpose
proposed. To operate the three screws
at her stern and one at her bow would
consume a great amount of fuel. There
would be under the most favorable cir
cumstances more than 1000 miles Of
pathway to be cleared from clear water
to the pole and return.-Boston Tran
script.

Policemen Timothy Riordan and

Only one bullet took effect, and it il
believed that the missile from Riordan S

however, that it was the other bullet
that hit him.
At II o'clock the body was identified

Another time -honored theory is threat
ened with explosion. For many years
past, since the early days of the graham
bread fad, people have been told that
the bread made of fine wheat -four not
only fails to give the ingredients neces-
sary to physical well-being, but that
such bread is unhealthful. AS a result
the public has been furnished a large
number of cereal foods, which it has
consumed with the most sublime faith
in their superior qualities as a health
full food.
Recently the food experts of the de-
partment of agriculture at Washington
have been conducting experiments and
tests to establish which is the most nu-
tritiOus bread. Strange to say, their re-
suits showed that white bread yielded
the best results in nutrition They
came to the conclusion that entire wheat
bread, made from -four not containing
the three outer layers of bran, ranked
next, and that graham flour from the
whole grain gave the lowest percentage
OF digestible nutriment.
People who have been furnishing
themselves by eating bran breads may
now take heart and go back to the good
old white bread of their mothers.
When you stop to think of it, the
graham bread or whole wheat bread
eaters are not such tremendously healthy
fellows or such intellectual giants either
as their theories would seem to call for.
Hereafter when you cannot get pie,
you may feel good and safe in eating
white bread That is, if you can trust
the government.

Toxic seat themselves and listen with
delight to the shrill concert.
The most priced Of these singing in
sects is the suzumushi. Its name means
insect BELL" and the sound which 1t
emits resembles that of a tiny silver bell.
1t is a tiny black beetle, of fat body
and very vulgar appearance.
The kutsuwa-mushi is SO named be-
cause its cry resembles the sound made
by horse in champing its bit. There
are two species of 1t, the one a light
yellow and the other q pale green.
Really, this insect is none other than
kind Of winged srasshopper, of fat
body and common in many countries.
: Another singing insect much esteemed
is the kirigirisu, which is but a very
large grasshopper, producing varied,
strident sounds. Then there is the
enamkorogi, which is kind of cricket:
the kusa-hibari, minute grasshopper.
which has a sound Of remarkable clear
ness. The kantan, originally from
China, and which sings only at mid
night; the kanetataki, whose song re-
sembles the far-away sound of a clock.
In Toxic alone there are over 40 mer-
chants dealing in singing insects. This
commerce is of relatively recent origin,
though for centuries the Japanese have
been fond of the music of these insects.
Formerly they would 60 in parties to
places where the little musicians
abounded, pass the night there extended
upon mats, drinking tea or saki, and
listening to the harmony of the suzumu-
shi and kutsuwamushi.
1t is only about 200 years ago that
an amateur, named, Chose had the idea
of capturing one of these insects for
his own particular diversion. Then, the
singing season over, he forgot certain
number in a closed vase. Great was
his surprise on opening it the following
year to find it filled with newly hatch
ed young. After that he gave himself
up to the raising of various species OF
singing insects, and SO founded a trade
which as become flourishing Actually
the greater number of singing insects
are artifcially raised by certain proceed
ings, so that their Matching corresponds
to the seasons when their admirers love
to listen to them.
