During a marriage ceremony at Northeast
Harbor, week ago, the long veil Of the
bride in some unaccountable way became
loosened, and fell. A superstitious bride
would have been horror-stricken at such
an ccurrence-perhaps would have tainted,
perhaps postponed the event. Not so this
bride. She Just stopped the proceedings
long enough to readjust the refractory
adornment, glanced smilingly at the groom,
and then, with a LEI procession
look toward the minister, resumed her po-
sition at the altar. The reverend gentleman
proceeded. and it was noticed that he gave
an extra tug at the nuptial knot.-kennebec

When a crib is filed with corn it is
a satisfaction to know how many
bushels there are. This is easily
learned by multiplying the length by
the breadth, and this sum by the
height. This will represent the num-
Der of cubic feet in the crib. Divide
this by two and one-fourth, and the
result will be the number of bushels
of shelled corn in the crib.

One of the recruits was walking past as
a sentinel when he was approached by the
officer Of the day, and asked to repeat his
instructions. The reply was:
Walk this post, keeping always on the
alert, and don't let any dis-re-pute-able peo-

Another sentinel, in ~reciting his ~instruc-

LAUNDERING
on His Head and Could Spare
His Hat,

Excessive kindliness of heart, when al
he'd to a laundering courtesy, is occasionally
productive of an amusing incident. Of such
is the following: A president in recent
times of one of our royal colleges was noted
for the possession of a trim little yacht,
which he was fond of sailing in one of the
reaches of the River Thames, says the Can
did Friend. One day the president had the
misfortune to capsize his craft, with the
consequent result of complete immersion.
He was Immediately assisted ashore and
q change of clothing providedat an adjacent
boathouse. This, however, did not include
4 hat of any description. The president,
who is an old man and correspondingly bald,
stood shivering, his scant hair uncomforta-
bly, stirred by the breeze. His plight was
observed with respectful compassion by one
of the students of the college who had wit
nessefr,the catastrophe, and offered his own
TTeatgear. INF nFresldenf, however, seemed
reluctant to accept it, saying: eff | take
yours, what will you do?" "Oh, sir" said
the student, SIT doesn't matter for me. I've
got hair on my head" This statement was
accepted as final by the president, together
with the cap, and he laughed heartily at
what, after all, was not wholly a onesided
joke, for the CONSERVATION of the student
may be better imagined than described.
