Back in the seventies, when Dewey
had command Of n ship Of the old Hart

Off Genoa. Visitors were allowed on
board at all times, except Sunday morn
Ing, when inspection took place. One
Sunday a well known American mil
lionaire steamed out with n party of
friends in his private yacht and sue
ceeded in getting on deck. where he
was met by Captain Dewey. who asked
him to leave. Mr.. Money demonstrated,
and finally, exasperated by the cool
frmness Of the officer, he burst out:

Dewey opened his penknife, stopped

some irish wedii1.s

Shrove Tuesday weddings in Ireland
are exceedingly common. and some
times among the pcasantry they are
celebrated in strange circumstances.
There is story Of young peasant
girl being aroused out of bed on the
night Of Shrove Tuesday to be mar
ried before midnight to a well to do
lrish-Australasian whom she had new
er seen, though he was known to her
parents, who made the match. 1t
turned out happy marriage. The
young people usually take the matter
philosophically, believing that their
parents know best how to make them
happy. This anecdote Is told Of a Tip
perary girl: "Biddy," asked her friend,
"are ye goin' of this ShraffT' "Musha,
1 don't know that" said Biddy, but
they're sittin' Of ne upstairs"-mean-
ing that matchmaking was in progress.
Another story relates to IL number of
weddings taking place in a Munster
church on Shrove Tuesday. "An'
where's yer intended, Joe?" one swain
was asked. "Begob, Mick, l couldn't
tell ye, but. believe she's up there
among the feathers and ribbons in the
front row of sates." He learned who
she was when the names were called
out

"They tell me-" said that worthy
matron to Alice one Sunday after
church, that you amt likely to teach
school after this summer"
"And why notY' answered Alice.
Don't give satisfaction"
"Oh, 'tain't that. l guess you can
imagine the reason, and I want to be
the first to congratulate you. They
steH. ME he's worth pile O. money, an
he's sartinly well favored so far as
looks goes; but then, handsome is as
handsome does was allus my motto"
Alice colored.
"Do you mean Mr.. Mason, my broth
er's friend" she said seriously.
"Why, who else would mean9 I've
heard that you was to be married this
fall and that he Is worth million.
They say he told Amos Curtis he was,
though I don't believe that But any
way, Amos says he gave him $5 Jest
fer usin' his old boat that want worth
splittin' up fer kindlin'sr"
"Its not true, not one word Of It,"
exclaimed Alice angrily, "and If you
care for me one bit wish you would
tell everybody Said So"
She waited to hear no more, nor for
Aunt Susan. who had fingered to chat
with some one, but walked home hur-
riedly, as II to hide herself. Once In
the silent house she began to cool of.
II won't believe he told Amos he was
worth a Million" she said to herself.
"He isn't SO stupid as that. But I
am afraid the silly boy did give him
$5, which has started all this gossip"
When Aunt Susan came in she fairly
pounced upon her. "Why haven't you
told me, auntie, about all this gossip
that's going the rounds regarding Mr.
Mason and myself? I know you have
heard it,"
'It's all nonsense, Alice" answered
that lady rather sharply, "and you are
foolish to listen to 'em. I've heard 1t,
Of course, but so long as it's no discred-
1t to You, why, let it 60 into one ear and
out t'other, same as do! Folks must
talk In this town, an what they're say
In bout you ought to make you feel
proud-that young fellow like him
and worth money wanted to come
courtin', and he certainly showed he
did or I'm no judge"
"He's got Aunt Susan on his side as
we'll as Bert" Alice thought, "and |
I'm glad kept him at distance, just
10 pay him for being so silly with his
money"
Late that afternoon Alice called upon
Abby Miles and talked about every.
thing except the subject she most want
ed to talk about, and then as Abby
usually had a Sunday evening caller,
Alice came home mt dusk. Never be-
fore had the house seemed so lone
some, and as she sat on the porch and
tried to talk with Aunt Susan her
thoughts were elsewhere.
When the lights across the valley,
which served as curfew by saying bed
time when they went out, had disap-
peared, she came in and, seating her
self in the dark at the piano, softly
played the chords and hummed the
| words Of song.
"It'll come out all right" said Aunt
Susan to herself, and she waited till
Alice called to her to come in and 60 to
bed.

Bird Surnery-

An English writer on birds says: "A
redshank, which was with some other
'waders' in an aviary containing a
pond, wounded itself on the top of the
head. Unfortunately the bird died,
but on inspection it was found that 1t
had plastered the wound over with
mud. This example Of birds instinct
for self preservation is very striking,
and l believe that for bird to doctor
Its head is most unusual, although
snipe and woodcock lnve been known
to heal broken legs by coating the frac-
tured parts with clay, which became

three great tiers Of arches, the lowest
having been used as a bridge and the
uppermost rs an aqueduct. 1t rises
about 120 feet above the level OF the
river. The Pont du Gard. as it is call

whispered to every girl she knew. The

gossip, however. The miller had re-

a story that Alice Pages beau was
