Some Wedding Lore.

The first form of marriage was 'smar-
rage by capture The groom stole the
bride from the home of her parentsj and
the ring, at that time, was the symbol of
her letters
The honeymoon was the length of time
that the groom kept the bride hidden from
her parents IF he succeeded in keeping
her hiding place secret for four weeks,
she was his by right, forever.
The slipper Cor old shoe) stands for the
missiles which were thrown after the couple
by the irate parents.
The left hand was chosen because the
left of everything is supposed to be the
weak side, and it was typical of the sub
mission due from wife to her husband
The fourth finger was known as the
medical finger, because of nerve that
is supposed to run from it direct to the
heart. Nothing can touch it without its
conveying the news direct. That's why a
wedding ring is supposed to cure stys, etc.
Marie Steuart was married with four
rings. Two were supposed to be more
binding than one-three more binding STILL
Four was the greatest number she could
get on her finger.
The Dumb Cake was baked by three
maids probably on Friday at midnight
The rhyme runs
| Two make it
Two bake it
And two break it.
If they made the bread, baked it, broke
it and ate it and got to bed and to sleep
without uttering word, the man they
were supposed to marry was supposed to
visit them in their dreams.
Friday is the most unlucky day for a
wedding; but the best of all to find out
whom you are going to wed. 1t is the
fairies own day, and after the sun goes
down they help the maid in her efforts to
divine the name Of her future lord.
An old custom-still in vogue among
boarding school girls in this country-is to
say
''This Friday night as go to bed,
/ put my pettieoat under my head.
To dream of the living and not of the dead,
To dream of the man am going to we'd"
In Germany the turquoise is used in the
wedding ring Its color means faithful
ness, constancy and truth. The stone is
supposed to change color if the love of
either wane.
In Germany, if it rain on the marriage
day, new JOY is supposed to come with
each drop.
Tubal- Cain is supposed to have invented
the ring.
The room or place where the bride was
to be married was decorated with knots
and ribbons of color-the colors were chosen
from their symbolism. True blue and
green-the blue for constancy and the
green for youth-were the favorite eolors.
Monday for health,
Tuesday for wealth,
Wednesday the best day of all;
Thursday for losses,
Friday for crosses,
And Saturday no luck at all.
Following are the Wedding Anniver
saries:
Fifth anniversary wooden;
Tenth-tin;
Fifteenth crystal;
Twentieth-china;
Twenty fifth-silver;
Fortieth- ruby;
Fiftieth-golden;
Sixtieth-diamond.

Cultivation implies something to Guilt
vate. We plant the seed in favorable soil
if we would reap the harvest. We train
the muscle that already has some strength
if we would make an athlete. We foster
an aptitude for using tools if we would
make good mechanic. In like manner,
if we would cultivate the moral nature, we
must seek for the best instincts that are
already active, and nourish and develop
them, instead of directing all our efforts to
supply what is lacking, such efforts being
successful only when cooperation can be
fully secured.

THE HOME GOLD CURE.
An Ingenious Treatment by which Drunkards
are Being Cured Daily in Spite of
Themselves,
No Noxious Doses. No Weakening of the
Nerves. Pleasant and Positive
Cure for the Liquor Habit.

1t is now generally known and understood
that Drunkenness is disease and not weak
ness. A body filled with poison, and nerves
completely shattered by periodical or constant
use of intoxicating liquors, requires an anti
dote capable of neutralizing and eradicating
this poison, and destroying the craving for in
toxicants. Sufferers may now cure them
selves at home without publicity or loss of
time from business by this wonderful "HOME
GOLD CURE" which has been perfected
after many years of close study and treatment
of inebriates. The faithful use according to
directions of this wonderful discovery is posi-
lively guaranteed to cure the most obstinate
case, no matter how hard drinker. Our
records show the marvellous Transformation of
thousands of Drunkards into sober, industri
Gus and upright men.
WIVES CURE YOUR HUSBANDS !
CHILDREN CURE YOUR FATHERS
This remedy is in no sense nostrum but is a
specific for this disease only, and is so skill
fully devised and prepared that it is thoroughly
soluble and pleasant to the taste, so that it
can be given in cup of tea or coffee without
the knowledge of the person taking it. Thou
sands of Drunkards have cured themselves
with this priceless remedy, and as many more
have been cured and made temperate men by
having the "CURE" administered by loving
friends and relatives without their knowledge
in coffee or tea, and believe today that they
discontinued drinking of their own free will.
Do NOT WAIT. Do not be deluded by ap-
parent and misleading Improvement y
Drive out the disease at once and for all time.
The "HOME GOLD CURE is sold at the
extremely low price of One Dollar, thus
placing within reach of everybody treatment
more effectual than others costing $25 to $50.
Full directions accompany each package.

quested without extra charge. Sent prepaid

Strike at Wadsworth.

The strike fever is catching. A
small one occurred at Wadsworth
a few nights ago, when the entire
force of switchmen in the yard
went out because of some disagree
ment with the trainmaster at that
place. Things were tied up in
regular San Francisco style for
awhile, but there were no extra
men to take the place of the strlk-
ers and the Southern Pacific Of
fetal had to comply with their de-
mand-the reinstatement of a man
he had dismissed. The striking
switchmen having carried their
point they returned to work and a
blockade of the road was averted.
