LATEST MARRIAGE SERVICE.
Al 1t Was Rendered for the Especial
BENEFIT Of a Prospective
Bridegroom.

They were sitting on the back parlor
sofa, each with prayer-book, going
over the marriage service before the
''dress rehearsal" that evening. The
study was somewhat interrupted by
the arrival of wedding presents and
finally of the wedding gown which the
bride-elect Immediately went upstairs
to try on. relates the Brooklyn Eagle.
When she come down stairs her
brother, who was to act as best man,
was with her. He inquired if they
knew the service and threw up his
hands in horror when his sister said
"No."
YOU'D get along BETTER" said he,
"with some disinterested party acting

"Why, there isn't any more" said his

ABOUT GALL STONES.
How Their Presence May BE Dete
mined and Some of the Gre
ntive Causes.

Gall-stones are the cause OF binary
collie. attacks of which are usually
marked by intense pain and alarming
collapse, says Youths Companion.
Gall-stones are composed OF the
more solid ingredients of the bile. SO
that they are stones" only in the fact
thai they are hard and composed IN
part of mineral salts, such as norman
ly are found in the bile, only in a solu-
BILE state. The occurrence OF stone IN
this region, and in other cavities OF
the body. is hence no cause OF wonoer-
ment. but is a result of the presence
of the solid constituents in too great
or of the watery elements in too small
quantity.
The presence of gall-stones in the
gall-bladder or in the narrow passages
through which the bile flows, from the
liver to the intestinal canal, is not
always announced by attacks OF sharp
colicky pain. An indefinitA soreness
or pain of irregular duration and vary
ing degree in the pit of the stomach,
or from that point to the right, along
the border-line well marked by the
lower limit of the bony parts OF the
chest wall, may be due to gall-stones
or to the collections of thickenei
masses of bile, which are the pre-
cursors of gall-stones. These masses
of thickened bile may, of themselves,
occasion hillary collie of a milder form.
hillary collie is one of natures dam
ger-signals, but one rarely needed by
the sufferer. The presence of gall
stones or of thickened masses of bile
indicates the need of larger quantity
of liquid, and a smaller quantity of
solid, elements in the food. To prevent
the formation of these instructions
and to dissipate such as may have
formed, drink more water and eat less
solid food.
1t is interesting to note that among
English physicians the popular treat
ment for gall-stones formerly consist
ed. in large part, in restricting the
diet; while in Germany a liberal use
of the mineral spring-waters, notably
the Carlsbad, was prescribed. A recog-
milton of the value of the two methods
combined has resulted in the adoption
of both these measures by physicians.
Solids are given more sparingly and
water more generously.
Errors of diet so commonly result
in disorders within the bile ducts that
these disorders are more common than
the frequency of symptoms would lead
one to suppose. Devotion to the pleas
ures of the table is not consistent with
a healthy state of the liver and bile
ducts. Soreness in this region should
be regarded as warning. if one would
escape the severer manifestations
which continued indulgence in full and
frequent meals, together with insult
iicient exercise, entails.

HE STOPPED THE BELL.
And Gave the show q Chance, There
fore Was Entitled to Free
Admission.

The requests for theater favors in the
small towns are very troublesome. Every
person of loca. standing feels that he has
right to admission at least, while the trus-
tees and the constable feel that they are
entitled to private boxes. Some of the
requests are decidedly unique, says the
Chicago Inter-Ocean.

southern city. The manager was taking
the tickets at the door of the theater, and
the natives were struggling to get in. Sud
