A Quaint Custom.

curious wedding custom. a survival
of the folklore of the fathcrland. is found
in the German settlement about Buckley,
Ills. and in the townships farther east.
When young couple is to be married.
the elder brother of the bride starts out
on horseback few days before. If the
bride has no brother, some other male
member of the family takes the place.
His summons is just as effective in as
sembling the guests rs the engraved invi-

Is a picturesque figure. In his invitation
trip he is the recipient of many perqui-
Sites in money or gifts, which, by right
of custom, are kept as his own. At every
place where he leaves an invitation to the
wedding the recipients are expected to
give him something. The size of the gift
is regulated by the circumstances OF the
receivers. 1t may be a piece Of money,
bill or a coin, or it may be only ribbon
or trinket However small. the pres
ent is invariably expected and given. AS
he receives his gifts he pins the bills to
his clothing or hat, sews on the coins and
ties the ribbons to his horses bride. As
be progresses on his rounds the gifts are
added one by one till his clothes are opu-
lent with money and trinkets.

SENSIBLE WOMEN UNPOPULAR

had a cook whom she cherished above

indeed, that sometimes she was moved
to hustle out to the kitchen and de-

in need of instant rest. Whereupon
Katie was bundled off upstairs and

After four years of such humane
treatment Mrs. Cook walked off with

her employer, descending from her

The sensible woman is fearfully
hard on romances. She picks the
prettiest love story in the> world so
to pieces that it looks like even less
than 30 cents when she gets through
with it.
Each bit of sentiment she dissects
with the aid of her merciless prac-
tical sense and points out how it is
founded on selfshness and will grad
ually grow into indifference. There
is a fearful reason in all she says that
makes deep impression on her
hearer and perhaps leads that young
woman to desperate and foolish deeds
or remuneration.
Once the sensible woman entered a
house of sorrow. A young girl lay
dying there and her family were gath
cred at her bedside, when the prac-
teal woman came to the door and
called out one of the weeping ones.

"K1NG OF INvALIDs."
The sad Plight which Gave That
Title to n Young Man of
Philadelphia.

In a small dwelling at 1918 Cabot
street, little thoroughfare running
west of Twelfth street, Just above
Girard avenue, lies young man known
throughout the length and breadth of
this broad land as the king of In
valids." His throne is bed from which
he has not moved for ten years, says the
Philadelphia Times.
AS his ely companions, his faithful
nurse, Miss Carrie Dentry, and his pet
dog, Charles H. Conrad waits for death
with the knowledge that nothing else
can ever release him from his suffer-
ings. Science can offer him no hope,
for hundreds of the most eminent ply
sicians have visited his bedside and
turned away with shake of the head.
Rheumatoid arthritis is the name of
the strange malady with which he is
afflicted, and its effect is the forma-
tion of bone around the joints. render
ing them extremely sensitive and per-
fectly motionless. Elbows, wrists,
knees and ankles are all dislocated and
abnormally enlarged, while the rest of
the trunk is emaciated, and trunk and
limbs alike contorted and twisted.
1t is not Justification pure and simple,
as in this case Conrad's sufferings
would be much less. As it is. his whole
body is so sensitive that the least touch
causes eXcruciating agony. His arms
are bent inward, the left hand slowly
growing toward the stomach. between
which and it a heavy pad of cloth is
placed in an effort to change its course.
Conrad was strong and athletically-
built young man when 81 years old, now
ten years ago. Exposure brought on
rheumatism, and this developed into
the present malady.
Through his nurse he is kept in COM
munication with every chronic invalid
in the country, and by them he has
been given the title of the King of In
valids."

ENGLISH HENS NOT LAYING.
Fewer Eggs Than Usual Tiis Year
aad The Britlsh Farnsr is said
to De Mt Fault.

Another British industry is on the
waue. The British len is laying even
fewer eggs than usual at tLis lean time
of year. Even the comfort that it is
hen and net man that is behind the
mes is der led. The principal reason
given for the shortage is the hidebound
meGievalism of he British farmer. The
result is that the average town house
holder can scarcely get dependable
new-laid egg to put upon his break
fast table. even at an eXtortionate
price, says a London paper.
The annual consumption of eggs in
London in the course of year is esti'
mated at 6500O0,00G. Great Britain
consumed last year eggs to the value
of G 100000. English farms could
produce all these without the displace.
ment of other agricultural products.
But so sadly behind his proper place
is the British farmer that he allowed
the foreigner to send in during 1899 no
fewer than 1.940,GCG 600 eggs, to the
value of G .e5044,392.
4 The Poultry Organization society de.
fines new-laid egg as not more than
three days old in warm weather or
five days in winter. Its expert says:
IF the home farmer would culy ar.
range for his young Eens to commence
laying eggs by November land it can
easily be done sby Matching early
there would soon be better supply OF
new-laid eggs"
Here is a little illustration showing

BLACK AND TAN.
Casual Meeting with Citizen who
Wore shoes That Were Thus
Cross-Matched.

Clearly it was not the paying of a
freak bet, but a freak of fortune, that
had compelled this man to wear the
shoes he had on, which were one black
and the other tan. Nor did they match
in shape and,size much closer than they
did in color; but they were close pair
in dilapidation, and (thought the man
approached by the wearer of this cross
matched footgear), If that tan shoe
could be blackened they'd do; they'd do
better, anyhow. There was place in
town, he knew, where they did that sort
of thing; that is, where they changed
tan shoes to black, and he told the man
with the odd shoes where this was. as
nearly as he could remember, giving
him, at the same time, sum sufficient
to enable him to get the shoes thus
mated up in color; not much was re-
quired, because there was here only half
a pair to be treated, says the New
York Sun.
Clearly the man with the shoes was
pleased. Despite his seeming lack of
pecuniary resources as evidenced not
alone by his odd shoes but by various
other corroborative indications about
him, he was not an uncbeerful person,
but the receipt of the money made him
more cheerful still. As. to whether he
would actually devote the money thus
obtained to having that tan shoe made
black, however, or whether, more OF
less careless of his personal appear.

else likely to give him greater meas

THE WORD "CHEMAWA."
One Pioneer of Oregon Thinks 1t
Probably Is Chinook for
"True Talk"

Anent the discussion of the meaning
of the word "Chemawa," the site of the
Indian training school, Thomas n.
Strong, who was asked for his opinion,
said, according to the Portland Ore
gonian:
81 am ignorant of how Chemawa
was named, but always had the impress
siol4 that it was misspelling of the
two words che wawa. The Chinook
jargon was spoken different in differ.
ent tribes, and very often foreign
words would creep into it from the
English and Indian languages where
it was used. The common expression
for good talk would be close wawa,
but the words che wawa' were often
used in somewhat the same sense but
meaning perhaps more particularly
true talk so that che wawa would in
| some places where have heard the jar
gon used mean good talk or perfectly
true talk
"As illustrating this use of local
! words in the Chinook jargon Tacoma
was often used by the Indians near
Puget sound as meaning white noun
tain. From the summit of the Cascade
mountains a Puget sound Indian once
pointed out Mount Baker to me as
'Okook Tacoma (the White mount ain)
and as this was very likely done occa-
sionally with Mount Rainier the idea
grew up in some quarters that Tacoma
was the Indian name of that mountain.
Neither north nor south of Puget
sound have ! ever heard the word Ia
coma used for any purpose. l do not
know where anyone would get informa-
tion upon this subject of the name of
the Indian school unless he went back
to the department that named it,"
