STRANGE TAX.
Levied by British Government on Wearers of tho Cockade--Some-
 thing About the Decoration.

Inasmuch as the English government is about to impose tax of a couple of guineas, that is to say. of about s10, on cockades worn by liveried servants. it may be well to recall the fact that, strict ly speaking, cockades should only be worn by the servants of officers of the army and navy and those of government ofacials. In England, says the New York Tribune, there Is one kind of cock ade worn by the servants of military men and another by the servants of court officials, government officials, judges and justices of the peace. The two cock ades resemble one another so closely that it is difficult to distinguish them apart.
 As no mention of cockades is made in the Encyclopedia Britannica, it may be of interest to mention that they were introduced at the accession of King George | of England, when his adherents adopted black cockade on their hats to distinguish them from the Jacobites, who wore white, the color of the Stuarts. From being at first party badge of Eng fish gentlemen devoted to the present Hanoverian dynasty, the cockade grad ually came to be worn as mark of dis tinction, civil, military or naval, under the sign manual of the crown.
 this country by the liveried servants of the president of the United States and of the secretary of state.

army hospital corps. Private John Stremer, in whose care she had been placed on leaving Cuba
 The two Cubans had not seen each other for three years, but the recogni- ton was instantaneous Private Strem- CT stood at attention" with pleased smile on his face while thetwo exhausted the vocabularly of endearments.
 The bride was hysterial at first. The crowds, the unaccustomed cold, and the language she could not understand frightened her and she hid her face in her husbands coat and sobbed. He held her while sympathetic women passen- gers tried to soothe her and after while the little fear passed away and she was smiling with confidence again. :"
 She had been married to Rafael. his father acting as proxy, because the young man himself could not leave his employment at the Rogers Locomotive works in Paterson, where he is studying to become an engineer.
 At another dock there was an outgo- ing steamer which carried two happy, passengers with story worth repeating. They had been married in Pennsylvania The young man had told his bride that the money he had saved for the wedding would take them on a wedding trip to New York, but that they must not be ex- travagent, they would need to be eco- nomical in beginning housekeeping.
 At this she smiled and promised to be exceedingly careful of the household funds A trip to New York was all the wedding trip any girl needed. she thought.
 So they were married and started on their trip. When they got to New York the Bride informed her husband that 1t would be nicer to drop their arrange ments for the wedding trip and make a tour of the world instead.
 "You see," she said with blush and in an apologetic manner, instead of be- ing poor, as you thought me, have a modest fortune of half a million dollars, but wanted to be loved for myself alone" ">
 It was an astonished young man that | listened to this announcement, but their appearance on the pier. taking an outgo- ing vessel, was proof that he did not re- gret the fact that the woman he had married as poor had turned out to be l rich.

CUPID ON THE PIERS.
Romances Found on the Docks Q.
 Steamship Lines.
Young Cuban's Emotional Meeting with Bride to Whom He Had Been Married by Proxy--PIeasing
 Bridal Discovery.

Cupid must spend large part of his time sitting on the pier where he can watch the coming and going of ocean liners entering and leaving New York. If the small gentleman of the wings and bow were personal deity and cir cumscribed by the Jaw which declares against a person being in more than one place at one time, that undoubtedly Is the place he would elect as his home
 Take the scenes of one day along the docks as an illustration, and those scenes were not all They were the ones that happened to bs observed and known.
 The White Star line steamship Oceanic started it by arriving with four engaged couples and IA brides to be on board. The IA young women came from abroad to marry men who had preceded them to make homes in this country. Their husbands to be were waiting for them on the deck. You may be sure that Cupid smiled broadly as he saw IA different sets of greetings and beheld the four en- gagged young couples stalking happily away.
 The Oceanic had been through rough weather, but Boreas was working against Cupid on that trip and the IA brides to be and the four engaged couples came safely through.
 Then, says the Chicago Tribune, at another dock another scene was being enacted. Since morning a young Cuban, Rafael Hidalgo, had been waiting in the cold and snow. watching for steamer to appear. He had been married by proxy in Havana, November 19, his father act ing as his representative in signing the wedding contract.
 The eagerness of both the young man and the young woman defeated the ob- ject they had in view-a welcome the moment the dainty foot of the bride touched American soil. As the passen- gers began to come off the bridegroom mistcok another young woman for his bride and dashed madly down the pier for her. Discovering his mistake he plunged through the crowd of disem- barking passengers, but 1t was not until he had searched 20 minutes that he found her.
 Then he discovered her in charge of a strapping member of the United States

Protection for Pigeons.

An odd contrivance is used in the east to protect carrier pigeons from the attacks of birds of prey. Tiny bamboo tubes are fastened under their wings, and as they fly. the air passing swiftly through the tubes makes a shrill whis- tie, which serves to frighten other birds.

Triumphs of Modern Surgery.
Wonderful things are done for
the human body by surgery. Or
gans are taken ont and scraped and
polished and put back, or they
may be removed entirely; bones
are spliced; pipes take the place of
diseased sections OF veins; antisep-
tic dressings are applied to wounds,
bruises, burns and like injuries
before inflammation sets in, which
causes them to heal without mat
uration and in one third the time
required by the old treatment.
Chamberlain's Pain Balm acts on
this same principle. tits antisep-
tic and when applied to such jn-
juries, causes them to heal very
quickly. 1t also allays the pain
and soreness. Keep a bottle of
Pain Balm in your home and it
will save you time and money, not
to mention the Inconvenience and
suffering which such injuries en-
tail. For sale by
