MUST SIT UPON RUGS.
Is said TO Lurk In High
Backed Chairs.

A contemporary which is devoted to
the discussion of hygienie subjects
makes a somewhat alarming sugges-
tion. 1t maintains that high straight
backed chairs are responsible for a
great many of the ills to which woman
are prone.
Neuralgia, backache, headaches, de
preston, and so on may be directly
traced to troubles engendered inter
nally by the postures we are compelled
to continually assume on these chairs.
The suggestion is put forth, there
fore, that we should lie about on soft
rugs on the floor, adapting these, as
fancy dictated, to our own ideas of
comfort.
This eastern seraglio kind of ar
rangement would give us our much
needed rest, as well as suppleness of
form, we are assured, but how would
It fit in with out fashions, our mode Of
entertaining, and our general house
hold arrangements?
The spectacle of the average matron
Hopping about with a number of smart
ly-attired guests on the drawing room
floor does not present itself to the
minds eye in other than a grotesquely
comical form.

OVER A MOUNTAIN RANGE.
Aerial Tramwhy for the Trnnsportn-
tiOn of Tea in the Island
of CeyiOn.

One of the most interesting aerial
rope ways has recently been con-
structed on the island of Ceylon.
British India for the transportation
of tea, this up-to-date system dis
pensing with the services of hundreds
of men and beasts which we're for
merely maintained and employed in
carrying the tea over the miles Of
mountainous country. The tramway,
which runs in almost a direct line,
says the Philadelphia Record, is three
miles long; the road which was fol
lowed by the flesh and blood carriers
was a much greater distance
This three miles of tramway passes
over several ridges one of which has
a considerable elevation. The tea
leaves, in bags. are placed in the
great carriers, which are in the form
of a hanging cage, as the latter pass
the driving terminal, by wire-rope
transmissions from a turbine three
quarters of a mile distant. The la
Dor required to work the entire line
need not exceed six men.
The tramway has been in use for
four months and has given the most
satisfactory service The delivery of
the tea is performed quite as reliably
as heretofore and is done in much
less time and much more cheaply.

Pbonograph Plays Important Part IN
she Romance OF Mr.. ana Mrs.
Hush-Marrinse Service BY
retephone.

There are more ways than one Of get
ting married, and that is said without
reference to the different customs pre-
yailing in different countries. There
are more ways than one Of getting
married In this country, where the ap-
pearance of bride and groom before a
minister or justice with a marriage Ii
eense Is accepted as the proper way.
Accident has stepped in to prevent
some Of the weddisss in which the
persons chiefly concerned have refused
to be delayed by circumstances and the
marriage services have proceeded un-
der difficulties and in strange forms,
but still being marriage ceremonies.
OF all these, one of the stIangest is
that of Mr.. and Mrs, Allen Bush. They
we're TO meet in city where the bride
had friends and were to be married
the following day. Both carried out
this part of the agreement, but two
days before that set for the ceremony
the bride was taken i'll with diphtheria.
The house Of the friend with whom
she was stopping was Immediately
quarantined and the bridegroom was
refused entrance. That looked like a
postponement of the wedding, but the
bridegroom thought differently. He
set his wits to work and hit upon a
| plan.
Two Photographs were secured. So
were a marriage license and a minister.
Two cylinders were used In one the
clergyman propounded the questions
TO the bridegroom and the man gave
his answers. The other cylinder was
left untouched.
Both instruments then were taken to
the brides sick room by the nurse.
They we're placed on table and the
wedding began. One phonograph
spoke the elergyman's questions, Civ

about geese viii know better. A big
gray gander isn't afraid of anything.
These two win attack anything
that comes in the front gate with the
savageness of a bulldog. And they
are able to do about as much dam
age. They take flying leaps at the
intruder, beating him about the head
with their wings and punching him
IN the face with their bills.
All the time they keep up such .
Kissing and honking that the noise
Is enough to scare away the stoutest-
hearted burglar.

ing at the same time the bridegroom's
answers.
When the clergyman addressed the
bride, through the phonograph, she an
swered into the cylinder of the unused
one. When he asked questions of the
bridegroom the answers were given at
once through the phonograph.
The minister and the bridegroom in
reality were sitting below in the parlor
of the house, probably smoking cigars
| and wondering how the ceremony was
progressing upstairs.
Finally the nurse brought the two
instruments downstairs and they
knew that the service was over. They
knew that the other cylinder con-
tanned the brides answers and her
final "yes." The clergyman shook
hands with Mr.. Bush and congratu-
lated him on being a married man.
Any time Mr.. and Mrs. Bush wish
TO hear the wedding service repeat
ed all they have to do is to set two
monographs to going and the whole
affair is gone over again. That is
a useful institution to have in a
household on wedding anniversaries
and the like.
Miss Agnes Charter was a telephone
girl. She was engaged to marry a
Kansas man and the wedding was
to take place in her home town of
Denver. On the day set for the we'd
ding several of the telephone girls
we're taken suddenly i'll, and Miss
Charter was obliged to work.
Charles Carver, the bridegroom,
was a travelling man. On the morn
ing of the day set for the wedding
he was ordered to take a train for
Omaha in three hours. It admitted
Of no delay. The two were confront
ed with the necessity of finding some
way of holding the service or of post
| boning it for a month.
Miss Charter could not leave the
office, but Carver thought of a plan.
He placed the minister at telephone
and himself stood at the side. The
minister went through the essential
portions of the service rapidly. Miss
Charter gave her answers from her
seat in the telephone exchange and
he from his position beside the min
ister. The minister, with the receiver
IN his ear, heard the answers of both
bride and groom. The bridegroom
had to- take the word Of the minister
for the fact that his wife had ac-
cepted him.
The shorf service over, the BRIDE
groom took the telephone, told his
wife to take a train as soon as she
could for Omaha, and then left the
city. She joined him in two days.

crushed so many Of these insects that
they had become clogged with a sticky
mass which entirely prevented them
from getting a grip of the rails.
All around the ground was covered
with a yellow carpet of grasshoppers.
BY means Of sprinkling sand and peb-
bles on the rails the train was at length
able to continue its journey, but after
passing Holholl the incline became so
steep that the engine, which was then
proceeding at about ten yards a min
ute, again failed to grip, came to a
standstill, and finally, dragged by the
heavy train, started to 1un backward
down the slope.
At first the brake failed to act, the
mechanism having become clogged by
the grasshoppers, and an accident APP
peared to be inevitable, when fortu-
nately, by a great effort, the train was
brought to a standstill. The train,
needless to say, was several hours late
In arriving at its destination.

in trying to change a sovereign with

"Ah, no; # is-a medal"
"No, no; good English money"
"But have not seen one like it, 1 am

"Neyer mind whether you have seen
one like it. 1t is the head Of Edward,
the new king, and the gold is good"
"No, no. ] want to see the queens

Finally the woman said she would
give 20 francs for it, -Four other peo-

manner. and were allafraid to take the
risk. The sovereign was eventually
changed at a restaurant.
