First silver Wedding.

According to a historian, this Is the
way the first silver wedding came
about. 1t was in the time of Hugucs
Caput. Two of his most faithful sprv
ants, a man and a woman. had grown
gray in his employ. How could he re-
ward them?
Calling the woman. he said: Your
service is great, greater than the mans.
whose service is great enough. for the
woman always finds work harder than
man, and therefore | will give you n
reward. At your age | know Of none
better than Il dowry and Il husband.
The dOwry is here. This farm from
this time forth belongs to YOU. If this
man who has worked with YOU for five
and twenty years is willing to marry
you, then the husband is ready"
"Your ma iesty," said the old peasant,
'hOw is it possible that we should mar
ry, having already silver hairS?'
''Thcn it shall be silver wedding"
And the king gave the couple silver
enough to keep them in plenty.
Such was the origin of the silver
wedding. n custom which. spreading all
through France, subsequently became
known to the world.

ANIMAL LIFE.
July 3ill

In Maryland sparrowS have been
known to rails" six broodS in one year
In England there ar" seldom more than
three broodS.
Ostrich farms are profitable. Birds
are worth 500 apiece. and Il good spec
linen yields about So worth Of feath-
ers at plucking.
Cats cvincc, as is we'll known, a Gu
rious emotional disturbance when in
the ncighborhood of valcrian plant, Of
which they are very fond. 1t apparent
ly produces in them u species of intoxi-
cation.
There are records Of elephants that
have lived for 300 years and an age
Of 100 years is not regarded as so very
old for an elephant. 1t takes about
quarter of a century to get the elephant
to full maturity.
French anatomiSt has analyxcd the

has found in them bone diseases like

MISTAKES TO AVOID.

An English paper gives what it terms
thirteen mistakes of life"
1t Is a great mistake to set up our
own standard of right and wrong and
Judge people accordingly.
To measure the enjoyment of other:
by our own.
To expect uniformity of opinion in
this world.
To look for Judgment and experience
in youth.
To cndeavor to mcld all dispositions
alike
TO look for perfection in our own ac-
tiOns.
To worry ourselves and others with
what cannot be rcmcdicd.
Not to yield In immatcrial matters.
Not to alleviate all that needs alleva-
tiOn as far as lies in our power.
Not to make allowances for the mfr
mites of others.
To consider everything impossible
that we cannot perform.
To believe only what our finite minds
can grasp.
To expect to be able to understand
everything.

The fathers of Holsters usually have

During the burning OF the Standard

in July, 1900, an immense column of
smoke, shaped at the top like an UNI
brella, rose into the air, where very lit
tie wind was stirring, to an elevation,
measured by triangulation, of 1911
feet. or more than two miles and half.
Above the column white clouds formed
in an otherwise cloudless sky and re-
mained visible for two days, the fire
continuing to burn and the smoke to
