ROMANCE IN MARRIAGE.
Tho Wedding OF Americans In Lon
don Ia the Outcome, of Child
h0Dd Love Affair.

DR.. and Mrs. John West Benton, re
Gently married at London, will sail for
New York soon to make their home at
Ogdensburg, n. Y, where both were
brought up" the bride being Harriet
Egert. 1t is a boy and girl love affair,
which, after many obstacles had been
removed, resulted in happy union.
For five years the Egerts lived chiefly
in Europe, except when Mrs. Hansick-
er, the wife of Col. Willard HanSicker,
now the European representative OF
the United States Steel corporation,
had the girls on a visit out west, and
the lovers did not get a glimpse OF each
other all these years, nor did single
letter pass between them.
Harriet Egert Travelled far and wide.
Being very handsome, she had several
marriage proposals. but all were re-
fused. Baron de Graifenried was in
fatuated with her and did all in his
power TO win her.
Mr.. Benton arrived in London not
long ago, and Harriet announced her
intention Of marrying her old sweet
heart. Col. Hanscker gave the bride
away. After the wedding the couple
went to Strawberry Hill, where the
brides mother held a reception.

CHANGES HER COLOR.
Young Bohemian Girl Whose Skin
Varies with Her Emotions.
physioIogicnI Sensation which II Oc-
cupyIng the Attention OF the
Paris sclentists-Result OF
Boating Accident.

Miss Marga Cerbus, young Bon
mian girl, whose skin possesses the re-
markable property of changing color
in sympathy with her varying sensa-
tons, is the physiological sensation OF
the day for Partisan scientists.
Her skin does not reflect the colors
in her vicinity, but complete change
is produced by the different emotion.
she feels.
Anger makes it much darker than
that of negress; JOY turns it to pretty
pink, and anxiety causes her to as
sumo a pale greenish tint; fear turns
half her body beautiful violet com
plex.yn. The most extraordinary fea-
ture Of the case is that the colors rare
ly mingle, but the greater part OF the
time changes take place without any
apparent cause.
Her natural color is a warm, dark
shade. Sometimes the face turns sud
denly to a deadly white, while the
rest of the body remains unchanged.
At other times an arm, the neck, the
hand or foot turns a different shade,
according to the sensation expressed.
The only time the skin remains with
out variation is when she is asleep.
These curious variations in skin have
only made their appearance since she
met with a boating accident in which
she was nearly drowned.

CITY KEEPS RABBIT WARREN
TOrquay, England, Makes COnslder'
able Revenue Out OF Mu-
nicipal Land.

In 1896 the council Of Torquay, Dew
onshire, England, with a population of
$4,000, purchased the watershed to Sc
cure the purity of the water supply,
but was not satisfied that the four
square miles of land should lie idle.
Portions of the land are devoted to hay,
oats, etc, on which the horses of the
city are fed, and on other parts some
200 sheep Craze. More profitable tlmn
the sheep are the rabbits which abound
in all parts of the moorland.
Men are employed as trappers to
catch these animals, and during the
last IL months over 10000 rabbits were
sold at an average price of 1874 cents
after paying expenses. The woodlands
are preserved and about % cartridges
were killed and sold during the year.
A nursery of more than 10000 fir and
Iarch trees is maintained, and these
also add to the yearly income.
The land cost the city 100000, says
the Municipal Journal and Engineer,
but it is very probable that the returns
rom the industries to which it is de-
voted will soon wipe out this debt.

NO SMOKING AT WHITE HOUSE,
Sign Has Been Posted In the Recep-
tion Room Bearing the
Notice.

The average congressman who goes
bustling around from department to
department is inclined to smoke where
he listeth and knock the ashes from
his cigar where he pleases, says the
Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press. The practice is all
right for the ante-rooms of cabinet
officers, but President Roosevelt
thought it should not be carried into
the white house reception room. So
he gave orders to Arthur Simmons,
the colored doorkeeper from North
Carolina, to request gentlemen not to
smoke. Arthur Simmons had num-
Der of strenuous interviews in carry
ing out his instructions. Southern
and western congressman were fire.
quently moved to consign Arthur to
a superheated climate for his pains.
Arthur Is one of the pillars of the
church in colored circles, and he final
ly complained to Secretary Cortelyou
that it panied him to hear gentlemen
using such violent language. At his
request the mo Smoking Allowed
sign has been posted in the reception
room, and when gentlemen come in
with lighted cigars Arthur merely
looks meaningly toward the sign.

THE BRAVE WOLVERINE.
Animal POss eSa ed OF Desperate COur-
age and Endurance Famed
In Michigan.

Not little wolf" as the ignorant
think, is the significance of wolverine,
but something of greater dignity-an
embodiment Of the terrible spirit OF
the wild fire of the prehistoric for
ests, says Outing. Wonderful in its
strength and courage, tree climber
on occasion, not immense Of size, but
with limbs and claws great, out of all
proportion to its size, with muzzle
almost hog-like, bat with great white
fangs; the beast has stu an element
of the grotesque in its makeup, with
its sweeping, bushy tail and the broad
bands Of yellow white upon its back
and shoulders. Woe to the smaller
beast or the deer upon which it
dropped from some great w-hanging
branch, or before whom 1t suddenly
appeared in the dense windfalls.
OF all the continent the Michigan
peninsula was the chosen habitat OF
the wolverine, and he struggled long
before backwoodsme drove him from
heritage. So enduring was he, so
desperately courageous, that his name
became n synonym for pluck and
prowess, and proudly the people OF
Michigan accept the nickname which
has been given them.

PREVENTIVE MEDICINES.
Enlightened People Are Always on
the Lookout for the Ounce
OF Prevention.

In looking over the history of the
search for means of cure one is
struck by the great value of the ounce
of prevention. Keeping the germs out
is in every way preferable to dealing
with them after they have once en-
tered the body. This fact scientific
medicine is impre ssiHg more and more
deeply on the minds of public authori-
ties and the people, and their response
in the form of provisions for improved
public and private sanitation is one OF
the striking features Of the social
progress Of the present time. All the
more enlightened nations, states and
cities Of the world possess organized
departments OF health, which, with
varying degrees of thoroughness, deal
with the problems presented blythe in
fictitious diseases in the light of the
latest discoveries, says the Medical
News. Fifty years ago the term pre-
ventive medicine was unknown. To-
day it represents great body of we'll
attested and accepted principles. 1t
has cleaned our streets; it has helped
to build our model tenements; it has
purified our food and our drinking
water; it has entered our homes and
kept away disease; it has prolonged
our lives, and it has made the world q
sweeter place in which to live.

BUFFALO HAD TO CLIMB.
An Exceptional Case, According to
the Narrator, who Was Descend
ed from Ananias.

A near relation to the late Baron
Munchausen on the maternal side,
lncaily descended from Ananias and
Sapphira, was telling party of friends
about freeing bull buffalo in one of
the trees Of California.
THAT story lacks likelihood" re-
marked the man who knows every
thing, like so many other men; 1.-THE
buffalo belongs to the ruminant family,
has four or five stomachs and walks on
hoofs. 1t has no claws at all and could
no more climb a tree than n Jersey
cow"
"As a general proposition you are
right" said the story teller, with per-
fectlv unruffed mien, according to the
New York Times. "But this case was
quite exceptional. We were after the
buffalo with four of the most vicious
dogs that ever knew. One was boar
hound, one great dane, one psoyie,
or wolf hound, and the other a regis
tered bulldog, with jaws like wrought
iron. WE'LL they brought the buffalo
to bay at the foot of big tree and
pressed him so blamed hard that he
just. had to climb. That was his only
salvation"

SELLS SMILES AND SERMONS.
"Lady OF Quality" and Merchant In
London Engage In Novel
Enterprisea.

In London one can buy SER
mon for one dollar, and for five dol
lars one can learn to smile like Queen
Alexandra. The merchant who deals
in sermons has more than 1000 in
stock, and they are classified to suit
all tastes. Thus some are dignified,
others howcry, others pathetic, others
Iong-winded and some are even hui
morous, says the Detroit Free Press.
1t is "a lady Of quality" who gives
instructions in the art of smiling, and
She is said TO have host of pupils,
all OF whom desire to smile like her
majesty, and who are assured that
they can learn the art in three les
sons.
Another curious profession is that OF
man who offers to sell absolutely
new anecdotes Of the king and queen
at a price ranging from 25 cents TO
two dollars. For the authenticity or
these anecdotes he vouches, and
scarcely day passes that he does not
offer some new story.

AN OWLS ODD FIGHT.
Sample of the Wonderful storie" ihAt
brighten Life In a Penn
sylvnnia Town.

Story telling is a favorite pastime
winter nights in a comfortable sitting
room of one of the tayerns OF Susque-
hanna, Pa, says the New York World
Many of the yarns spun are wonders.
Here is a sample:
AS Zach Chandler, a Deep Hollow
wood-chopper, was out on Turks Hill
one day last fall il search of game, ne
saw what he supposed to be two birds
sitting upon the limb Of a red poplar
tree. Crouching and creeping ahead,
he hid behind a stump, when he saw
the objects above him were evidently
two white owls. The owe were hght-
ing savagely for the possession OF a
ground mouse which they had cap
tured in an adjoining field.
The struggle was lively and noisy
For a moment the mouse could be seen
in the bill of one bird, then in the
claws of the other. There were loud
boots and shrieks, and feathers fell
from the tree into the underbrush.
Fearing that the game would fly away
and escape, Chandler fired at the op-
ject and it came tumbling down.
Chandler rushed forward, and was
amazed to find but one owl, yet 1t
had two heads and four legs and feet.
There was but one body. The two
heads had been fighting for the posses
sion of the mouse.
The freak bird was badly riddled
by shot, but Chandler had sense
enough to know that he had valuable
curiosity, and he worked faithfully to
save it, but it gave up the ghost the
next day. One head appeared to be
lifeless half an hour before the other
one died,

MEDAL FOR GOOD NATURE.
Youth In School Receives ohu""~
Recog n htion for Amiabifisy
and UrbanIty.

A medal for pure and unmitigated
good nature was awarded, not many
days ago, to youth in pubic schooi.
He had not made noteworthy record
for progress in learning; he had not
even reached point beyond the aver
age among his fellows; he had simply
eclipsed them all In amiability OF the
kind that accepted rewards or punish
ments with urbane and equal philoso-
ply, says Harper's Weekly. And the
fact that a medal was deemed not too
honorable for him under the circum-
stances is significant evidence of the
high esteem in which good nature is
held How it does oil the creaking
wheels Of life to be sure! How smooth
it makes the path! What a comfort
able and comforting companion q truly
amiable person is, if he is only dog!
When everything and everybody else
have ruffied one the wrong way, and
made every individual set of injured
feelings one possesses stand up Like
guills upon the fretful porcupine, how
soothing to step into the atmosphere
of the amiable person! Serenity en-
ters, peace sets in, you laugh, he
laughs, the world turns rose-colored
again. Availability accomplishes what
no sermon could. 1t is an immeasur-
able influence for good. 1t is, there
fore, with satisfaction that we note
the presentation Of a medal to the
good-natured boy. Why would it not
be a valuable custom to introduce into
all our schools?

The buffaloes of the west have been
treated almost as wantonly as the for
ests of the east. OF course, 1t was nee
essary that both should be thinned out
considerably to make room for an al
vancing civilization, but it was not nee
essary nor was it wise that either
should be brought so near the point OF
humiliation, says the Boston Tran
script. The contempt for and hostil-
itv to the sublime primitiveness of
this country that have marked an adj
vance more resistless than any OF the
old buffalo migrations have been pain
full and unpraiseworthy features of our
