For twelve years it has been my prac-
tice to have every cyclOpedia, as soon as
issued, submitted to experts in our IT,
brary for critical comparison with sim
liar reference books. We find this spec
tally necessary here, because we are 50
constantly asked by young Librarians for
information as to which cyclopaedias
are best for various people and uses
The result of an extended comparison
of the new Universal Cyclopaedia has
left an impression in our minds that It
is much the best work that has yet ap-
peared-

Gest Settlement,

The writer of this article had the
pleasure of attending the grandest
wedding that he ever witnessed. 1t
was the wedding of Mrs. l. n. Days
daughter, Annie, to George w. How
ard, of Dayton, Ohio, the ceremony
occurred at highnoon July 4, at the
Gest Settlement church. The pro-
cession from the house to the church
was headed by the Hillsboro colored
bandi' which played the wedding
march. The bride wore white silk
made princess and trimmed with
exquisite lace and her vail was
arranged and held in place by white
flowers and the groom was in conven-
tional black. The bridesmaids were
Misses Florence Burton and Getha
Cary and best man Leroy Cary. The
bride marched to the church on the
arm of her father who gave her away.
The services, which were short and
very appropriate for the occasion,
were performed by Rev. A. H. Hill, OF
Springfield. After the nuptial knot
was tied the procession returned tc
the brides home where the wedding
feast was served in abundance. The
guests numbered one hundred and the
presents were numerous and very
beautiful

MiZer on Shirt Waist Form.

"Shirt waists for men, with sus-
penders showing, are bad FORM y
says Conrad Mizer. TT is rule that
a mans suspenders should not be ex-
hibited at places where there are
ladies. If a man has shirt waist
that conceals his suspenders it is all
right for certain occasions that are
not ceremonious.
"There is a decided tendency in the
direction of whatever is comfortable
in mems wear, but at the same time
regard for appearances forbids a man
appearing in a costume that shows
his suspenders where there are ladies
present. a shirt waist that is so ar
ranged that the suspenders are in
side it and do not show is good form
for the street and for wear in places
where strict ceremony is not requir-
ed. If belt is used to support the
trousers the shirt waist is not bad
form. If a man wears suspender:
outside of his shirt waist he should
keep his coat on in the presence o.
ladies.
"If had my coat off and was wear
ing my suspenders in the usual way
outside my shirt, and lady came in
l would at once put on my coat as {
matter of courtesy. If l were wear
ing shirt waist with suspenders in
side so that they could not bs
seen, would not regard it as neces
sary ."-Cleveland Leader.

In the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries Venice set the fashion in all
matters of amusement and was sort
of combine tion Of our Monte Carlo and
Paris. Throughout the eighteenth CEN
tury the Venetians were seized with
perfect mania for masquerading and
gambling. Paris and London followed
suit, and the two most popular amuse-
ments, both public and private, were
masquerades and gambling saloons.
People not only wore their masks or
visors ct balls, but in the Mall and the
parks and the theaters. At length
matters got to such q pass that when
police raid was made on . certain
loose dancing place in Soho and an or
der was given for every one to unmask,
what was the amazement of the police
to find that at least third of the com

men Of the highest aristocracy, some
of whom had even brought their
daughters to an entertainment which,
to use the words of contemporary,
was "a disgrace for a female even Of

Obituary..

Catharine Crawford, daughter of
Alex. and Elizabeth Crawford, was
born in 1923. Her father was one of
the early settlers of this county and
spent much of his life on this farm
She was one of family of eight
children, four of whom are living
Jackson, who resides at Williams
burg, Ann O'Neal, of New Holland ,
and Jesse and Alex, of New Peters
burg. She was married to Samuel
G. Cough June II, 1858. She was born
and raised on her fathers farm, and
her whole life with the exception of
few years spent in Rainsboro after
their marriage. She was kind and
devoted wife, a good and obliging
neighbor and was ever ready to lend
helping hand to the sick and needy
whenever it was in her power to do so.
Many acts of kindness could be testi-
fed to by her neighbors. She was
honest in all her dealings, careful
and economical, ever looking we'll to
her household.
For more than year she had been
painfully afflicted, most of the time
confined to her bed. She bore her
suffering patiently and her faithful
companion nursed her by day and by
night until death relieved her of her
suffering at $3.50 a. M, July 2, 1901
She will be missed by her neighbors
and friends, but her lonely compan
ion will feel her loss most deeply and
must finish life's journey alone.
