RICE AND ROSES.
Practical and Sentimental Side of
a Wedding Innovation.

The following editorial on an innova-
ton at a recent English wedding ap-
peared in the Chicago Tribune:
Brides come and go, and when they
go it has been the custom from time
immemorial to throw rice after them.
The fashion of going away gowns
changes from year to year, but the
nuptial cereal that finds its way into
the creases of these gowns remains
ever the same. But at a recent Eng
lish wedding in high life a deviation
was made from this time honored GUS
tom, and the departing pair were pelt-
ed with dried rose leaves. Or course
this innovation has its practical and
sentimental side.
On the practical side it will appeal
to those thrifty housewives who have
deplered the number of possible pud-
dings that have gone to waste at we'd
dings and have sadly estimated the
number of hungry mouths that they
might have fed. OF course rose leaves
have something of a sentimental sug-
gestion, but the fact that dried rose
leaves are used would seem to imply
that romance had entered the scar and
yellow leaf stage, and then again the
question arises, How is 1t possible to
throw a thing of such airiness and
unsubstantiality as rose leaf? Yet
no doubt If this custom is permanent
" adopted in England it will soon find
it's way to American wedding cele-
brations.
Hereafter it will be the scent Of
dried rose leaves rather than the pres
ence of rice that will betray bridal
couples, and do what these interest
ing individuals will to hide their iden-
tity and newly marriedness the scent
of the roses will cling to them still.

Paine'S Celery
Compound
Permanently Cures Sick and
Nervous Headaches that
Make Life Miserable.

Sick and nervous headaches are amongst
She worst ills of life. The man or woman who
is subject to headache at irregular intervals,
goes through life bearing load of misery
and wretchedness that is terrible to think
of.
Headaches as rule, result from dis
ordered condition of the nervous system.
Mental excitement, loss of sleep, bodily
fatigue, and disordered digestion are exciting
causes. When the brain becomes tired and
debilitated, the whole nervous system is weak
ened, and headaches result. If the liver is
sluggish, the kidneys inactive, and digestion
de1anged, headaches invariably follow. To
cure and prevent headache, the nervous sys-
TEN must be Strengthened and vitslized.
The most persistent cases # headache, nervous
teebleness, and sleeplessness, are permanently
cured by Paine's Celery Compound; it is the
great reconstructant of the nervous system.
Mrs. Henry Westrick, St. Clair, Mich, tells
of her release from suffering as follows:-
81 have been troubled with dyspepsia and
sick headache for number of years. About
every week / would have bad spell of sick
headache, but since began using Paine's
Celery Compound, my dyspepsia is gone, and
do not have any more headaches. feel

A combination of all the Methodist
publishing houses of the country has
been proposed. By merging the sew
eral houses into one gigantic concern,
it is urged, the business could be made
more profitable TO the church. The
number of employees could be reduced,
salaries could be shaved, long credits
could be denied, and the business be
put on more modern, buslness-like
footing. The promoters of the scheme
point to the fact that the tendency OF
all business is towards consolidation or
com bination, hence it would be a good
idea for the Methodist publishing con-
Germs to follow along similar lines. BY
cheapening the cost of production, it
is argued, the output of literature
could be increased to tho benefit of the
church.
Against this proposition, however.
some vigorous protests are heard.
There is too much of commercialism
about it to suit some of the preachers
who are firmly grounded in the belief
that it is the function of the church to
spread the gospel and not to engage in

THE PERILs OF PROSPERITY
PitifuI Scenes Enacted in New

There is a hotel in New York city
which for the last four years has been
enliyened every evening by the noisy
ostentations of the most conspicuous
men in the late boom s enormous prod
uct of the get-rich-quick, says the Sat
urday Evening Post. And they still
go there; but instead of spending mon
ev like water they wait around in the
hope that some one will take pity on
them in their fallen estate. They
were rich-millionaires almost multi
millionaires even. They are poor, so
poor that their families are no longer
living in small palaces near the ave-
nue.. but in large boarding houses far
from it.
All that these people have left is the
memory of their brief day of tawdry
splendor-and extravagant taste. Each
one of them is melancholy lesson, not
IN the mutability of human fortunes,
hut IN the perils of sudden prosperity.

LOST 500, 900; NOW WAITER
AFTER A SEASON OF WEALTH JOHN
nuLRI AGAIN BALANCING DISHES.
Former Capitalist, Napkin In Hand, Is
Daily Serv M Lunches in a New
York Restaurant.

A New York dispatch avs John
Ouern, waiter and inventor, and ouly
a couple OF years ago the happy pos
SCISSOR of a fortune won by lucky
stock deal, has occasion TO make a
sage observations on the yicissitudes
of fortune.
Quern was known as an attentive
and obi lgiug waiter to patrons OF Del
monico's FJrty- fourth street establls h.
ment, where he worked for great
many years. He resigned in 1899 after
making $4,000 through the sudden
rise OF Brooklyn Rapid Transit stock
Without a word of explanation the
former capitalist reappeared at Del
monieo's Beaver street restaurant last
Saturday and asked for his old job as
waiter. Napkin in hand, he has work.
ID there daily since then, serving
lunches to brokers and business men
with whom for short period he Wed
Ia prosperity.
According to the manager at Del
monico's, Quern has made no explana'
tion of his fallen fortunes. He has
confided in no one, not even his former
associates. The walters said they had
refrained from questioning Quern on
the subject, which they feel is rath-
er delicate one to breach.
Quern is now about 80 years old. He
came to this country 81 years ago and
worked IN Delmonico's most of the
time up to the period of his good for
tune. He is a self-educated scientist
He has always been known as level
headed man.
Quern, while working in pelmon
ico's in 1898, bought 30 shares OF
Brooklyn Rapid Transit in April OF
that year. His purchase was made on
April 10, the day congress adopted
resolution declaring the Cubans free
and directing armed Intervention. 1t
was at time when the stock market
was regarded by many old brokers as
dangerous.
Quern bought his 50 shares at 81. He
doubled and redoubled his purchases
as the stocks rose, and in March, 1899,
sold out at 1861. He took his good for
tune mOdestly.

NO WIDOWS NEXT TIME.
Syracuse Man Had 143 of Them
at a Dining.

On his eighty second birthday,
which occurred in the early part OF the
present year, MIR. A. A. Hewlett of
Syracuse, N. Y, gave dinner party at
which 143 widows were his guests. Mr..
Hewlett will have another birthday
party in some few weeks, but he de-
clares there will be no widows there.
The reason is that ever since he enter
tanned the widows he has been receiY-
log letters from women in all quarters
of the globe, with the exception OF
China, proposing marriage to him. He
says he has received literally hundreds
of letters on the subject, and gives the
Chinese women credit for being the
most modest in the world.
