COURTED BY MEANS OF SIGNS
Boston Couple That Never Spoke un- Ill They stood Before
 the Altar.

A marriage took place in Boston the other evening, the parties 10 which had never spoken until few minutes before they stood before the clergy man who pronounced them man and wife. They had been counting for nearly three months at that, and they were both in full possession of the faculty of speech, says Boston paper.
 One day in March last young wom- an employed in one of the department stores and young man holding a clerkshlp in a music store engaged rooms on Shawmut avenue and Union Park street respectively, and that night, sitting at the windows of their lodgings, saw each other across the expansive courtyard for the first time. For several nights they enjoyed each others presence in a silent manner. Later on the young man acknowledged the lady's presence with bow. Then began the odd and unique courtship. The young man, in order to get bet ter look at his inamorata, bought q pair of opera glasses, andA to his de- light, the lady did the same. Then the young man cut out some letters from white paper and pinned them on piece of board that he had covered with black muslin, to spell out: "Tell me your name.'
 The lady answered the next night in the same way. Through this medium, slow and unsatisfactory as it was, the courtship went on, the young lady, however, being deaf to all his entrea- ties for meeting. They soon gave up their original mode of correspondence, however. and began to pay tribute 10 the postal service. An engagement fol- lowed in due course of time and last week there was wedding distin- guished by mo cards, no reception, no bridal tour"

WRITER'S IN THE COUNTRY.
The Best Literary Work Is Done by Men Whose Homes Are
 Outside the Cities.

'.See for moment how the matter of residence affects literary people, with whose work, naturally, l am familiar" writes Edward Box, in Ladies' Home Journal. of 'sThe American Man and the Country" "Pick out the success full writers of the day and see where their homes are. Scarcely in a single instance will you find one of them liv- ing in the city. On the other hand, look at the work done by your literary denizen of the city and see how it suf- fers in comparison with that of the man or woman whose mind rests on Gods own handiwork. Such writers are like pygmies compared to the men who with fresh minds look over Gods landscape and reflect the deepest and truest thoughts of real men and wom- en. See how an author-and this is a constant occurrence-liying in some remote country place does a great piece of work, and then, allured by false prophets, removes to the city and com tinues his work there. Is his work the same? Verify, it is not. Degeneration takes place as soon as he removes him self from mans truest surroundings. And what is true to-day of men in lit- erary work is equally true of men in the kindred arts The great work of the world is being done to-day by men whose lives are spent away from the great cities"

caused the trust to pause and consider.
And when behind this long line of
Americans, each with vote, there APP
peared another army employed in the
manufacture of by-products, such as
alcohol and vinegar from beet molasses,
fertilizer, acids, flour, paper, cattle food,
etc., from beet pulp, the sugar trust be-
gan to figure and came to the concur
sion that eventually when the votes of
those millions of'American citizens in
terested in beet sugar should ever knock
the bottom out of the Cuban bubble it
might not be so bad to be compelled to
develop the beet sugar industry. In
deed, when the sugar trust got through
figuring, it had a far-away smile on it's
well-fed features. There would
ultimately be more profits in the Ameri-
can beet sugar industry than in refining.

sit is harder to select a name mar II

The slips we're written. placed In

"This is not fair" said Quincy. u

Alice.

"Tben I will bear your name in flu
ture." said Alice, and Quincy thought
to himself that he wished she had SAID
those words in response to a question
that was in his mind, but he had decid-
ed that it was not yet time to ask her.
He was too much of a gentleman to
refer in a Joking manne to the words.
which Alice had spoken and which
had been uttered with 40 thought or
idea that they bore a double meaning.
Quincy wrote the selected name in
the blank space in Leopold'S letter,
sealed it and took his mail out to the
carriage driver, who vas seated in the
y kitchen enjoying a piece of mince pie
and a rislss of cider which Mandy hsd
. given him.
AS Quincy entered tie kitchen he
heard Mandy say, "fiow is Bias now

"Oh, dads all right" said the young
man; 'le is going to run Wallace
Stackpole again for tax collector
!, against Obadiah Strout."
I, "Is your name Smith," asked Quin-
cy. advancing with the letters in his
hand.
Yes replied the young man, my
name is Abbott Smith. My dads

The Excursion Season.

The excursion season is now at its
zenith, and the boats are running con-
tinuously day and night. The crowds
are dense, both white and colored people
availing themselves Of the facilities
offered for long or short rides on the
river or hours of enjoyment at the
various resorts. The steamer Jane
MoseIey arrived here this morning from
Washington loaded to her guards with
colored excursionists. Her three decks
were packed, as were also her soloons.
A large number boarded the steamer
here, and by the time the gangway
plank was pulled to the wharf the crowd
was so dense that twas almOstimpossible
to move about on the steamer. 1t re-
minded one of a swarm of bees on the
limb of tree. In some parts OF the
boafs-especially the hurricane deck
aft-humanity was packed nearly as
close as figs in box. The excursionists
were bound for Leonardtown. The
steamer now runs on reduced speed and
and it was doubtless late in the evening
before it reached the little town on
Breton's Bay. 1t will probably be day
light tomorrow before the crowd can be
returned to Washington.
