were married Wednesday at the home

mediate friends being present, the
ceremony uniting them as husband
and wife being performed by Rev.
Smith, former preacher here but now
of Monroe.
The groom is one of the business
men of the town, having been identi-
fed with its interests for a number of
years. When he first came to town
he purchased the Republican and
edited it for time but not liking the
work he sold it and then embarked in
the drug business which is still sue
cessfully operating on basis that in
sures future prosperity and confidence
of the public.
The bride is the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Thos. Musson and has a
splendid commercial experience from
her work in the Commercial bank,
where she was book keeper for several
years. Her home lie is characterized
by lovable disposition and a con-
tented mind that will always sur
round her with a host of lovable
friends.
The couple have home fitted and
ready for them and in August will be
at home to receive their friends.

Pottery and secrecy.

In the royal mandatory of pottery
at Nielsen, Saxony, the work was for.
merly carried on with the utmost Sc
crecy to prevent the processes from be-
coming known elsewhere. The estab-
lishment was complete fortress, the
portcullis of which was not raised day
or night, no stranger being permitted
to enter for any purpose whatever.
Every workman, even the chief in
spector, was sworn to silence. This
injunction was formally repeated ev-
cry month to the superior officers en-
ployed, while the Worlinen had con.
stantly before their eyes in large let
ters the warning motto, "Re Secret Unto
Death" 1t was we'll known that any
person divulgfng the process would bc

Redouins md Water.

1t is not unusual to hear Bedouin
upon reaching a camp where water is
offered him refuse it with the re-
mark, II drank only yesterday" On
the Bedouins long marches across dry
countries the size of the water skins is
nicely calculated to just outlast the
journey, and they rarely allow them
selves to break the habit of abstemi-
BUSINESS, as this would be sure to make
their next water fast all the harder.
They are accustomed from infancy to
regard water as most precious COM
modify and use It with religious econ
omy. They know every hollow and
nook in the mountains where water
may be found. Their camels and goats,
which they take with them on their
marches to supply them with milk
and meat, live principally on the
scanty heritage and foliage of the
thorny mlmosa. Neither men nor ami
mails drink more than once in forty
eight hours. No wonder they can sub
sist where invaders quickly perish.
