The young bridal couples are with us once again, heaven bless 'em " re- marked Chief Clerk Levin of Willard's.
 October and November are the months of all the year when the newly welded come to Washington in droves, exhibiting in this their good taste. for in no other city in America can they spend the honeymoon more delightfully."-. I've made Q special study of bridal couples, and it is my delight to cater to their bliss. It is true that the great majority of them are shy of attracting attention and try their best to keep the outside world from recognizing the newness of tteir relations, but there are exceptions
 "The other day we had a young cou. pie from Kentucky. He was fine look ing specimen of manhood, and she was as winsome little blue grass woman as ever you put eyes upon. This pair wasn't a bit embarrassed. and seemed to be rather fond that folks took notice. Tho happy husband came to mo right off and related that he had brought his bride to the hotel because when his fa' ther and mother got married 80 years ago they had been guests here and among them all 1t was thought to be . proper thing to follow the precedent thus established. They tarried a week, and from their radiant faces l knew they had every bit as good time as their elders did three decades ago.
 Doiognn's Leaning Tower.
 Bologna has two great square tow CTS, the Asinelli. which Is 315 feet high and was erected in 1100. and its rival, the Garlsenda. which was built one year later and was originally much higher and Is rendered peculiar by It's de clded inclination to one side. It Is now only 153 feet high. the width of one side is g feet. the walls at the base are c feet G inches thick, while higher up they are feet inches. Its origin is somewhat obscure, but 1t was certainly intended to outdo the Asi' nelli. and both were for retreat in trou' blous times. Some say the original in' tention was to make 1t lean, but oth' CTS contend that either the ground has settled or there was a defect in the engineering. This unique relic was 50 little thought of by one of It's later pcs sessors that it was sold in 12G6 for 22C lire, something less than $H.

Heating the Wires.

i'SaIiuS Tic wires.
the relative heat-conducting power of
metals than whole PEACEFUL of words
would tell them.
Get three pieces of wire about
{ three-eighths Of an inch in thickness
and about twelve inches in length, one
OF iron, one of copper and one of
brass. Lay them on top o. pail so
that one end of each is in the flame
Of lamp and the other ends sepa-
rated. You will find that the copper
wire will be the first to get heated
all through, the brass second and the
iron last, which shows their relative
conducting power.
Having allowed the wires to get per-
fectly cool, fasten two marbles on
each wire with shoemaker's wax, one
six inches from the flame and the
other twelve inches. You will find
that the marbles nearer the flame will
drop off from the copper wire in one
minute, from the brass wire in two
minutes, and from the iron wire a lit
lie more than six minutes. The marbles
twelve inches from the fame will drop
from the copper wire in a little more
than two minutes, from the brass wire
in little more than four minutes and
from the iron wire in about twelve
minutes.
Which shows that heat moves twice
as fast in brass as it moves in iron,
and six times as fast in copper as it
moves in iron.

Boy will Make His Mark.

Hudy Burditt, Buel, Texas, is a 15-
year-old trader. Two years ago he
picked cotton in spare hours, and with
the money earned he clothed himself
and saved three dollars. With this
rnree dollars he bought a pig, kept her
for some time and sold her for eleven
dollars. He worked on holidays and
Saturdays and saved four dollars,
which, added to the eleven dollars,
gave him. enough to buy a Jersey
heifer: In a year he sold her and a
calf for forty dollars. He then bought
a four months old colt for five dollars
and sold her later for fifteen dollars.
He now has f1fty-five dollars loaned at
10 per cent interest.
