SHE LOST NOTHING.
Omission In the Wedding Service That
Didn't Count.

Didn't Count
A distinguished naval officer was
telling this story on himself the other
evening to a gathering of his friends.
At the time of his marriage he had
been through the civil war and had
had many narrowing experiences
aboard ship, through all of which he
kept his courage and remained as
calm as brave man should. AS the
time for the ceremony came on, how
ever, his calmness gradually gave way.
At the altar, amid the blaze OF brass
buttons and gold lace marking the
full naval wedding, the officer was all
but stampeded, and what went on
there seemed very much mixed to him.
Fearing the excitement of the moment
would temporarily take him off his
feet, the officer had learned the mar
riage ceremony letter perfect, as he
thought, and he remembered repeating
the words after the minister in a me-
chanical sort of way.
After the ceremony was all over and
all was serene again, including the Of
ficers state of mind, the kindly cler-
gyman came up and touched MIN on
the shoulder.
LOOK here, old man." he said, "you
didn't endow your wife with any
worldly goods"
Whats that?" asked the BRIDE
groom with something of astonishment
in his voice.
"Why, l repeated the sentence With
all my worldly goods l thee endow'
several times and, despite my efforts,
you would not say it after me-"
The bridegroom seemed perturbed
for a moment and then a beaming
light came into his face.
Never mind, SIR" he said, "she
didn't lose blessed thing by my fail
ure. e."-Washington Star.

whether man or beast, and so nno
means to distribute themselves. we
bring these hangers-on, clinging to our
clothing, from every autumn walk
through woods and fields. Sometimes
we pause on our way to free ourselves
from these encumbranceS, sometimes
We bring them home with us; III any
event, some Of them find lodging in the
earth, and next spring there is new
group in new place. Animals ana
birds do their share in planting these
varieties in the same manner. 1t Is
strange that these are all troublesome
weeds which one would gladly see
perish. Nature seems more persistent
in her efforts to plant them than many
more favorite plants.
1t seems, indeed, that only those
plants which do not serve to nourlsh
either man or beast are supplied with
these ingenious devices for transmits
sion and self-planting. In the case OF
plants used for food, there is security
that the seed will be planted and
cared for.

Eastern variety of our common "tum-
ble-weed," belonging to the botanical
family of "cruciferae." When the seeds
ripen the plant bends in its branches,
forming a ball with the seed inside.

fees to break it from the parent stalk.
and away it goes, rolling and tumbling
over the ground, scattering its seed in
its progress.
In the great valley of the Amazon.
when the wind breaks off the massive
plumes of the tall pampas grass, they
roll up in great white spheres, several
feet in circumference, and go bounding
over the vast level plains, distributing
the seed in the same manner. 1t was
in allusion to this device that David
wished that his enemies might he made

The flora of the AZore Islands is said
to be exclusively such as is adapted to
be planted by these agencies Of nature.
The only trees and shrubs of these
islands are such as bear small berries,
and are indigenous to the southwest
of Europe, while the oak, chestnut,
apple, and others growing in the same
attitudes, but not adapted to convey
ance by such means, are entirely abb

prises 439 species; 40 have winged seed,
65 very minute, hard-shelled seed, 80
have such seed as are eaten by birds,
and S4 others are well adapted to con-
veyance by wind and water. There
is probably no better example of ma
ture's seed-planting than in the Azores,
which are 300 miles distant from the
nearest land.
When one considers the subtle, silent
ways in which the clothing of the earth
in robes of verdure is accomplished, the
mind is filled with wonder and admira-
tion of the ceaseless forces which con-
serve the life and care for the contin.
uance of those creations which are en-
tirely independent Of the care and no
tice of mankind.-Francis M. Butler, in

Troubles of the Billposter.

New York is the billposter's paradise,
there being practically no restriction
of the business. Other cities, however,
throw various obstacles in the pathway
Of the billposter.
In the home sections of Chicago bill
boards may not be erected without the
consent of the residents.
San Francisco restricts the heights
of the boards, and will have no dis
figurement of telegraph poles.
Buffalo and Cleveland have ordered
the destruction of towering bill boards.
Glasgow and Liverpool forbid adver-
tisements in street cars.
London is removing signs from piers
and railway stations.
Berlin allows posters within certain
limits only.
Paris will have no advertisements
on trees, and placards are rigidly CEN
sured.
Even Jersey City has been drawing
the line at offensive theatrical adver-
tisements.
Baltimore has forbidden big signs
on housetops.-Profitable Advertising.

IN THE HEART OF THE WOODS.

ouch beautiful things in the heart of the
woods!
Flowers and ferns, and the soft green
mossi
Such love of the birds in the solitudes
Where the swift wings glance, and the
treetops toss;
Spaces of silence swept with song,
Which nobody hears but the God above;
Spaces where myriad creatures throng,
Summing themselves in His guarding love.

Such safety and peace in the heart of the
woods,
Far from the city's dust and din,
Where passion nor hate of man intrudes,
Nor fashion nor folly has entered in.
Deeper than hunters trail hath gone,
Gimmers the tarn where the wild deer
drink;
And fearless and free comes the gentle
fawn
To look at herself DER the grassy brink.

Thursday. Dec. 4.

The Senate killed the weekly pay
ment bill after two hours discussion.
The votes on several proposed amend
mentS were close, one requiring the
presidents vote to decide, but the fl
nal vote was y to g. The bill relating
to the geological survey of the state,
recommended by the governor Tues
day. was introduced, read and passed.
The bill providing for representation
of Vermont at the St. Louis exposition
was discussed, the points considered
being whether the benefits of the eX-
position would be great to farmers and
business men, and whether business
men ought not to pay for their own ad-
vertising. The bill was ordered to lie.
These bills were passed: exempting
veterans of civil war from poll tax :
providing for establishing of law of
another state on a trial in this state ;
changing March term of Windham
county court. To third reading !:
preventing nuisance in cars and sta
tions: enabling town of Brattleboro to

The senate passed Tout 30 bills in
the forenoon, all of minor Importance.
Among them were these: relating tC
the salary of states attorney. doing
away with the necessity for judges
certificate: to equalize school adVant-
ages. relating to transportation of chill
dren to and from school relating to
duties of truant officers and school at
tendance relating to taxing savings
banks enabling cities and towns to
unite to improve highways. There
was warm discussion of the Peck
public health bill which with the bill
relating to exemption from taxation
was ordered to lie. Senator Spencer
moved to amend the school attendance
bill by striking out the clause which
excludes children with visible EN-
ployment from compulsory attendance.
This exception was thought necessary
for the benefit of farmers, and the
amendment was adopted. The only
change that the savings banks taxa
tion bill makes is that cooperative
savings institutions are exempted, the
present law being of doubtful mean
ing The governor recommended the
act giving surveyors. state geologic
survey, right to enter on lands in acts
necessary to their work. The bill re-
lating to purity of the ballot and as
sistance in voting was amended,
making heavy penalty for false oath
of declaration of disability and was
ordered to third reading. Senator
Spencer presented a petition from the
W. c.. r. o.. asking for woman's suf-
frage. The bill doing away with eX-
emption from taxation for debts owed
outside the state was killed; also that
to restore the Australian Shstem in its
integrity. These were introduced:
Changing law relative to school direc-
tors: making municipal corporations,
village improvement societies, GENE
terry associations, or corporations or
ganized for charitable, educational or
religious purposes exempted from pay
ment of charter fees; to repeal stat
utes relative to liquor nuisances. The
bill authorizing city of Burlington to
issue bonds to aid Rutland railroad in
building car shops, was ordered to
third reading, also tha' to replace
boundary line monuments between
New York and Vermont.
The House handled So bills Tuesday
the statute in relation to taxation of
was introduced. This
bill makes no change in the rate of
taxation, but does make a change in
the method of administration with a
view to facilitating the collection of
the corporation taxes. 1t increases the
amount of exempt savings banks de-
posit from 81, 500 to 3, 600
