OLD SUIToR oUTwITTED.
Instead of a Bride He Gets a DrubblnE from Which He Has Not Yet
 Recovered.

Recently an elderly oil merchant, who has for many years lived in Smyrna, fell in love with beautiful young girl of the same city and asked her to marry him. She refused at first, but finally said that she would become his wife if before the ceremony was performed he would present her with the handsome house which he owned in the center of the city. He promised to do so, and straightway the necessary deed was drawn up, signed and handed to the covetous damsel, the understanding be- Ing that the marriage was to take place on the following morning.

HOUSEKEEPING SYNDICATE.
Thirteen Families in New York State Try Cooperative Boarding to
 Solve4Servant Problem.

In the enterprising town of Holly, Orleans county, N. Y, new movement has been started, with the object of solving the servant girl problem, says the Buffalo Commercial.
 Thirteen families, comprising 29 per sons of the best social and business standing, have formed cooperative boarding association, all members to bear an equal share of the expenses
 Gradually the various objections were overcome, and the members are not only we'll satisfied with the prog ress made, but think that in a short time a noticeable decrease in their liv- ing expenses will be evident
 Upon joining the association, mem bers contributed $5 to create a fund with which to equip the kitchen. With this money two ranges and dishes of every description have been purchased: :: also other articles necessary to the culinary department. Tn the dining room each family furnishes the table linen, dishes and other articles for it's own use.
 All expenses for provisions and the services of the cooks and waitresses are then borne pro rata by the mem bers. There will be considerable curi- osity to know whether the experiment can be made a permanent success.

Newest Fur Is CaracaI.

Dealers are showing another novel. ty in furs, says the New York Press, It is called caracaL or Persian lynx, and by means of dyeing and pressing under hot irons it may best be com pared to baby lamb. Usually caracal is softer than the average lynx and therefore is quite expensive. Black is the usual color of the commercial ar ticle. but when the small animal roams at large it's coat is between wine col. or and brown. When pressed it shows glossy coat. but this artificial treat. ment Is not regarded as advisable usu. ally. Caracal thus treated soon re. gains its natural appearance.

"cornv fin Different Cour+r,~.

In the United States when one speaks of "corn" maize is always meant. Tn England "corn" is applied to all ce- reals, especially wheat. In Scotland corn means oats. Germans use the word in the same sense as the English. Carlyle, being a Scotchman, in writing of Frederick the Great allows himself to refer frequently to Frederick s meal carts" when, strictly speaking, he should have said grain carts. '' What the bread of Frederick's soldiers was made of was wheat and rye, not corn in the restricted Scotch sense. Tn Scotland "corn field" is only a field of oats. Jamieson remarks that the term "corn" in northern Europe is used to denote that species of the grain most in use in any particular region, Hence in Sweden and Iceland the term denotes barley.

but the upmire evidently::did not see
it and ruled, there was. no balk
made. One of the umpires who
was watching at first base, umpir-
ing bases, saw it and explained the
motions the pitcher made and said
it was a balk, but the umpire on
strikes, refused to concede the balk
was made. The pitcher: was not posi-
tive as to what he did do. The
Worthington management declined
to finish the game and it was given
to the Lake Park team. The result
would have been materially changed
but for this, as Mr.: Evans, good
batter, was at the bat and another
good batsman following. him, 80
there were good prospects that
rev eral scores would have been
made. Nearly the entire audience
saw the balk. There were offences
of opinion as to the action Of our
team, some claim they done right in
leaving the field while others think
they sho uld have played it out. II
a team cannot get just decisions
there is no use of their playing, the
