Hints TO Brideeroons.

Every bride is deluged with advice
about how to enter the church, how to
stand and kneel, and what to wear. but
nobody ever thinks of offering 9 word
of helpful counsel to the bridegroom,
who is left to founder through the cere-
mony as best he may.
This is not only cruel, 1t is unjust, for,
while a girl begins to prepare for mar
riage in the cradle, it always takes a
man by surprise. 1t is like DEATH He
knows it is on the cards. but he cher
ishes an uniformed hope that he may
escape the universal doom.
Nothing short of inspiration can de-
wise Il remedy for stage fright or get
ting man gracefully through mar
riage ceremony, but there are few
simple rules that may be a help in time
of trouble to the prospective bride
groom.
Don't have a frozen grin on your face
that looks as if it might melt and run
down on your collar. Neither sport a
stern, Naooleonic air as if you were
determined to see the thing through or
die. A happy medium of chastened
serenity and joy is always the best.
Iry TO throw some IeitHuSldSl1 lilto
your responses. Most men make them
in a tone Of voice that indicates their
belief that they are signing their own
death warrant.
Don't become excited. Keep your
eyes in front of you. Look neither to
the right nor the left; otherwise you
are as liable to marry the bridesmaid
or the best man as not.
Engage a detective for best man, so
that he will be able to locate the we'd
ling ring after you have gone through
your pockets six times in a vain effort
10 find it. Tell him beforehand just
where it will be, and with this cleW ne
may be able TO work ~ the case in
time to save you from disgrace.
Finally, let your sufferings teach you
70 live a better life.

There may be states in the Union
which are out of debt and with half a
million dollars in the treasury, but we
do not recall their names at this
moment. However, that is the happy
condition of Porto Rico, as reported by
James S. Harlan who is back home
after two years as attorney general of
the island. In the old days what was
paid in taxes went into Spanish Golfers
and into the pockets of corrupt officials.
Things are different now and the island
appreciates it.

1t was thus that our ancestors de-
ceived themselves into the idea that
they We're taking medicine when in facr
they We're drinking beer, beer nearly as
strong though not as palatable, as that
which is sold in the dram shops and be-
ing dominated a very sinful beverage.
AS the attitude of the community to
these drinks in the dead and gone days
is recalled, hops We're the sinful ingredi-
ents in the mixture. Innocent hops, the
balm for aching heads, and the soothing
herbs for inflammation and fever, were
the root Of all evil when mingled with
spruce boughs, checkberry and corn.
The family that made beer without
hops was temperate and perfectly prop
er-though it's members might stay in
toNicated for q whole week on medl-
cinal beer. Those who abstained from
hops were among the select individuals
to whom consistency was a jewel and
temperance an Ideal for which all per-
sons should StriVelwith supreme en-
daavor In our enlightened times when
chemistry is familiar to every boy or
girl who is more than II years of age,
we know that the baleful and treacher-
Gus ingredients of the old-t time beer
were the starch from the corn and the
sugar, while the hops did no more than
give u bitter taste to the drink. Yet
in spite of our greater wisdom and
wider knowledge of the world, we doubt
| if we are any happier than were our
predecessors. Fifty years ago men be-
came intoxicated. and had a good time
while taking spring medicine, became
drunk in sweet innocence, while We
| who survive in times of wider knowl-
edge are obliged to degrade ourselves
to acquire the feeling that harmless
spruce beer impaired.

are yet number in WaterVilie who
have evidenced their belief in large
families of children.
The Bangor News man hanks back to
the good old times when spruce beer
was the spring tonic made and con-
sutned in every rural home, and thus
gives the recipe: Shell a peck of ripe
corn from the cob, and having Win
moved the grain carefully, put IL IN
large jar, cover it with warm water ana
set 1t behind the stove until the kef-
nels send outs prouts an inch or more
in length. Now spread the corn OF
papers to dry, and go forth to the helos
and forests for the other ingredients.
Cut six whisks of brush from the
thrifty limbs of the black spruce, pull
two or three quarts of boxberry leaves,
taking care to select those which are
thrifty, dig two pounds of sarsaparllia
roots, and having added small touch
OF ginger and cleaned the Whoie mass,
put the ingredients in q wash boiler,
cover the leaves and roots with warm
water and let the boiler simmer on the
back OF the range for all day. MEAN
time, place the corn that has been IN
soak on a stove and dry it thoroughly.
Then rub off the sprouts ana throw
them away and pound the grain IN
mortar until it is crushed to a pulp.
Now pour the liquid off from the herbs
in the boiler, add the pulverized corn
and simmer in large kettle for two or
three hours. Having done this, strain
the resultant extract through a fine
cloth into large jar add a pound Of
sugar to every quart of the juice, ana
when the decoction has cooled, put IN
cup of yeast cover with a cloth anu
wait. If the temperature of the room
is warm, fermentation should begin
within "a hours-perhaps sooner-and
as soon as the bubbles are rising freely
one may drink, and the more he drinks
the better he will feel.

WOLF GIVES GIRL A SCARE.
Accompanies an Oregon Young Maid UntiI the Gates Breaking

A story comes from the Mohawk val ley. 12 miles from Eugene, Ore. of an encounter between young lady and a wolf On recent afternoon Miss Orin Bolin, F years of age. was going from her home to neighbours, and was about half a mile from her home when she was confronted by large timber wolf.
 Instead Of fleeing at sight of the girl, the wolf showed signs of holdncss and an inclination to attack, The young lady turned for home, but having presence of mind, did not run. but kept an stti- tude of defense. She says the wolf would come so close at times that she could feel his breath, and she was in constan, fear of being devoured.
 When she reached the gate at home the ereaking upon opening frightened tse animal away. These timber wolves are not common in the valley. but z few are occasionally seen in the Cascade mountains.

One time the most of us no doubt, Had open hearts for others; We sc-rned the shield Distrust held out We met all men as brothers. With years cool wisdom on us slips The armor once declined: The laugh grows idle on our lips, Or purpose turks behind. Fearful to lose our little place. We dare not venture far To welcome others of our race. Men of the self-same star, Eager to win beyond our ranks. We trample others down, And pressing OCT them murmur thanks, Our eyes upon the crown. And yet We bear no enmity;
 Its fife We sad>y say. We would be genial. open, free,
 To all men as the day. 'This armor that doth make us saf.. This visor to the eye. We feel their weight. we feel them chafe We fa.n would put them by" And when we come to our green field. Far from the strife of town, Forthwith in gentleness we yield
 And lay that armor down. The touch of fannels 10 our skin.
 Of grass beneath our feet. Of sun at throat may help us win
 Safe past the judgment seat. Arthur StaAwood Pier. in Atlantic

 "l woncer. she said to herself what : in that letter! He certainly was mig1lly discoueerted when he took it from Els pocket.
 Later he changed his coat for his smol- ing jacket and lett tLe coat conveniently near her.
 The temptation was too great to be re- sisted, ana wren Ee was out of the room she slyy abstracted tEe letter from his pocket, as he had meant that She should do.
 Her curiosity was satisfied. It was the bill for her latest gown, with comments on eX- travagauce written across 1t. She wanted to answer them. but she could not without betraying what she had done.
