When a popular young couple turn
ed from the altar at which they had
taken the sacred and solemn vow
the other day their loving friends
focked around them to express their
delight and present their congratula-
tons. Suddenly while the bride was
being kissed by the gentlemanly ush-
ers and the groom was applying chaste
salutes to the lips Of the bridesmaids
several strong young men bounced up
on the happy couple and h%andcuffed
them together. The key was then
thrown away, and bride and groom
were left to get apart when they hap
pened to have time and could induce
somebody with a file to operate. Ow-
ing to the fact that they had arranged
to leave on a through train shortly
after the ceremony they had to go to
the railway station locked together,
and In that predicament get aboard
the car. OF the perpetrators
Of the Joke" considered this great
fun, and If the newly married couple
exhibited any annoyance they were
doubtless set down as poor, ungrateful
wretches, who were incapable of ap-
preciating a good thing. There were
many kinds Of fools in this world, and
they are to be found in every crowd.
They run to fires, they gather at dog
fights, they rock boats, and they
change large bills for strangers, but
a careful study of the matter would
probably show that fools are found
in larger numbers at weddings than
anywhere else in the world. There
seems. to be a general idea abroad, in
fact, that one is not doing the proper
thing at n wedding unless he is max
ing a fool of himself. There are prob
ably more kinds of foolishness indulg-
ed in at weddings than ut all other
ceremonies combined. and it appears
that there is no help. The wedding
fool is absolutely incorrigible. We
might suggest that n good dousing in
cold water would probably tend to
diminish the ardor of the wedding fool.
but there would be danger In a gen
eral deluge Of bringing Unnecessary
discomfort to innocent people. The
world is waiting for some public bene-
factor to come forward with an effec-
tive and available method Of putting
the wedding fool out of business.

There Is n man in the Senate Of
the United States to-day-only the fear
Of injuring his feelings restraints us
from mentioning his name-who had
an income from his law practice Of
$4,000 a year and a fortune Of $780,
600 when he entered public life, but
to-day, after a quarter Of a century
Of public service Of the most eminent
and useful sort, he has no law prac-
tice at all, his fortune has disappear
ed little by little, his official salary
Is insufficient to keep him and his fam
lily in modest comfort and he is driven
to writing magazine articles during the
recess Of Congress! There are at least
twenty senators, and they are among
the ablest members Of the Senate, who
have nothing but the salary upon
which it live, and from this absolutely
nothing can be saved to provide for
the necessities Of declining years or
the support of the family after the
death of it's head.

If Draco, the old lawmaker, should

should excel the other any more than there is
any fixed point beyond which either cannot develop. Ma
ture has no intentions and evolution has no limits. True
science teaches that the elevation OF woman is the only
sure road to the evolution of man. AS woman has the
power given her to support herself she will be less inclined
to seek marriage relations simply for the purpose of Sc.
curing what may seem to be home and protection.
One of the greatest boons which will result from the
industrial emancipation Of woman will be the frank ad-
mission on the part of the true and chivalric man that she
is the sole rightful owner Of her own being In every re-
spect; that whatever companionship may exist between
her and man shall be as thoroughly honorable to her as
to him. In callings where men surpass women, women
will be obliged to abandon the field; but where services are
performed with equal skill and integrity by both there will
come honest competition and an equalization Of conpen-
sation.
So in her political ambition she must be content to
stand or fall by the same rule. If she bungles, political
emancipation will not come; If her experiments prove sue
cessful she will secure political freedom, no matter what
the arguments against 1t may be.

MAKING OF PORCELAIN.

Chinese Manufactured 1t 1000 Years
Ago-Europe Learned 1t in ITO.
The Chinese claim to have made Dor
celain for more than 1000 years, but it
was not known how to make it in Eu-
rope until the seventeenth century. The
secret Of hard porcelain, generally
called Dresden" was accidentally
discovered about ITO, while how to
make soft porcelain had been found
out near Limoges, in France, several
years previously, although nearly TWEEN
ty-hve years elapsed before it's right
use was attained. BY an examination
