TO WED AMERICAN GIRL.
Rich Finn Comes to Claim ms Bride
Young Woman He Met While
in Paris

Oscar Parviainen, a young Finn.
whose mother is said to be the wealth
lest woman in Finland, has arrived in
this country en- route to DEBORAH, Ia,
to wed Miss Christina Siewers, young
woman he met in Paris last summer.
Miss Siewers and Mr.. Parviainen were
both art students in Paris at the time.
The young Finn doesn't speak word
of English, and, in order that he should
have no trouble in getting past the
customs officers, and, when that was
through, getting on the right train,
his fiancee sent to a steamship agent in
New York his picture and his destina-
ton. The agent had little difficulty in
recognizing the young man and soon
had him on the way to DEBORAH, where
he will become the husband of Miss
Sewers.
With his bride he will then pay a fly
Ing visit to his mother at Hesingfors,
Finland. After that he will return to
Paris and complete his studies. Mr..
Parviainen is 81 years old, and his
bride-to-be, who is the daughter of
Prof. Siewers, of DEBORAH, is 90. Par
yiainen's father died some years ago,
leaving his large oil interests to his
widow, who has since managed the
business.

CALIFORNIA LEMONS.
Analysis Made of This Years Crop
and Test Is More Satisfactory
That That of Last Year.

At the request of the Earl Fruit
company, Messrs. Stillwell and Glad
ding, chemists to the New York pro-
duce exchange, have made an analysis
of this years California lemons. 1t is
almost year since similar analysis
was made, showing the comparative
merits of California and Sicily LEM
ons, the result of that test being
widely discussed on account of the
favorable showing made by the Call
ifornia product. The growers in Call
ifornia have been making every effort
to bring their fruit to a still higher
dsgree of perfection, by scientific
methods of cultivation, and as COM
pared with the test made last Novem-
Der this years analysis is even more
favorable.
The percentage of waste matter,
consisting of pulp, seeds and rind, last
year was 81 per cent; this year it is
5s.e5 per cent, according to the last
analysis. The percentage of juice
was SO per cent. last year, and this
year it is Alps per cent. The citric
acid, equivalent to crystallized citrio
acid. last year was s.23 ounces per
United States wine gallon; this year
1t is OIL ounces per United States
wine gallon.

GOLD FISH PUT OUT FIRE.
Three Hundred Flapping Tails He'll
to Save Philadelphia Building
from Destruction,

Flames that broke out in the store
OF Thomas E. Henry, 22a5 Germantown
avenue, Philadelphia, while nobody
was about reached big aquarium that
held 300 goldfish and cracked the
glass, letting out most of the water.
The escaping water put out part of
the fire, and the goldfish extinguished
the rest of the flames.
The water remaining in the aqua
rum was so low that the majority of
the fish were left uncovered. In their
desperation the fish tapped their tails,
and the simultaneous effort of 300 fish
power sent the water out of the aqua
rum in showers on the burning furni-
ture and furnishings.
Fish put out the fire after 5000 dam
age had been done. They were found
gasping in the tank after their efforts
had exhausted their water supply, but
were soon transferred to another aqua
rum, none the worse for their expert
ence.
"Those fish are too good to be sold,
and I've notion to send them to Pres
ident Roosevelt" said Mr.. Henry, after
the fire.

MILITARY FIGURE CRITICISED.
Woman Writer Raises Objection to
the Carriage of the British
Soldiers

The army is catching it on all sides
just now, and it is amusing to find
that even the military figure is not
exempt from criticism. It seems that
the soldier, in this matter, is not by
any means supreme. The following
extract is from the current issue Of
Health and Strength, written by a
woman specialist on physical cultures,
'"The military figure is not the ideal
of manly beauty, nor is it the ideal
of strength, while with grace it Is no.

'YThe military figure par excellence
Is the sergeant's figure or the full pri-
Yates figure, with hollow back, and

the back and arms hanging with the

gering toward one along the street

poke of my finger upon his stomach
he would buckle right up. Correct
