Ministers have many interesting and
amusing experiences.
A local clergyman was engaged In
conversation with a number Of friends
the other day, when each started tell
ing stories Of weddings he had per-
formed. One Of the party had this to
offer:
Some time ago a great big fellow,
roughly dressed. and wee mite of q
young woman came to him. They had
no witnesses, and, in fact, did not care
to have any. Nevertheless, a brides
maid and groomsman were selected
from the household, and the ceremony
began. They had promised to love and
obey and all the rest Of the service.
when the preacher announced, "Kiss
the bride"
The bridegroom, ON bended knee. hes
itated q little. tried to say something
and couldn't
kiss the BRIDE" said the pastor.
"Why, parson, did, afore l come
here at ALL" replied the bridegroom,
whose face had taken the color Of a
June rose.
The witnesses burst forth in laugh
ter, while the minister had all he could
do to retain the serious expression
which he always wore when wedding

China,a AnfiQuitY.

China's antiquity is part Of her CO.
lossal proportions. China's early writers
record a NEUROLOGICAL history covering
tens Of thousands Of years, but this
period ends with the establishment OF
the capital Of the empire at Kaifungfu
In the thirty-flrst century B. c. Her
legendary history extends from this
time to ZOOS B. c.. at which time, 1t
may be said, China's real history be-
gins. The ancient history OF China ex-
tends from 22O5 B. C. to 29S B. G. Her
mediRval history begins there and ex-
tends to the time Of the Mongol con.
quests In 1915 a. d.
With the founding Of the Mongol dy.
nasty China's modern history begins.
The Mongols were driven out by the
Mings in 1868 A. D. The Mings were
the last native dynasty that ruled over
China, and their control lasted from
1868 to 1914. Under the title Of the Ia
Tsing (the Great Pure) dynasty the
Mantchoos have ruled China since A.
A. 1914.

FLYING BULLETS.


One Way by which They Nay Do
Seen After Leaving the RiAe.
II don't believe the story that bullets
can be seen when fred from q gum"
said the old soldier. "You know In the
army there is theory that men have
seen bullets, but they never lived to
tell Of 1t, because the bullets were go
ing straight for them and hit them In
the eye. The only men who have seen
the ordinary ride bullets In transit are
dead"
mo, they aren't" said the old hunter.
Il have seen many bullets flying. One
way by which you can see them plain.
ly is by dipping them in glycerin be-
fore firing"
"Yes, you might trace them by the
smoke then caused by air friction"
said the veteran, but you can't see the
bullets"
"Oh, yes, you can," retorted the hunt
er. II have watched them otter dur.
ing target practice, and any one can
see the large caliber bullets, though l
won't say as much for the tiny modern
missiles. The way to see flying bul.
let is to get a little to one side Of the
shooter, about i've feet away from him,
say. Then run an Imaginary line from
the muzzle Of his gun to the target.
Let your eyes rest on space Of light
colored ground exactly on this line. and
when he fires you will see something
dark. like bee, fit past the light col
ored space. That Is the bullet. OF
course by the time the eye tells the
brain 1t sees the missile the bullet has
struck the target, but you have seen 1t
