THROW RICE AT BRIDES.
Custom Persists Despite Attempts at
Reforms and Substitutes.

The rice storm still rattles gayly
about the shoulders of the newly mar
ried, in spite of the fact that rigorous
efforts have been made to suppress it.
StatiSticianS have counted up the
thousands of bushels yearly wasted in
the ceremony, and have urged that all
this nutritious grain should be put in
to the mouths of the poor rather than
down the backs of the opulent. Physi-
clans speak of the eyes that have
been injured or made permanently
blind by the flying particles. Half the
people present secretly recent the
singing hail, and the departing cou-
pie are compelled to amuse the public
at large for the next few days by she'd
ding rice with every movement.
One must be young and excited to
thoroughly enjoy the rice scrimmage,
yet it goes on year after year, a rowdy
but a permanent adjunct to Lohen-
grin. Boston tried to substitute lnof-
fensive white flakes made of gelatine,
but the public was not to be moved
from it's rice orgie. Then rose leaves
were tried, but they, too, had only a
temporary, acceptance.
And now the simple f1inging of
handful is being changed for an elabo-
rate mechanical distribution At
recent eastern wedding breakfast
bomb was arranged under the flower
in the center of the table, and at the
pressing of an electric button this
blew up, scattering rice in every d.
rection. The next device will prob
ably be rice shower, arranged on the
principles of stage rain and falling
alike on the bridal couple and every
body else. {.

mails are actually in their native

An enormous moose stalks along,
followed by two others almost as large
as himself. Hungry foxes snarl and
show their keen white teeth. The
hawk is poised so perfectly among the
dense foliage that he seems to be
actually flying, and the badgers thrust
their comical little faces out of their
earth holes, just as the hunter has
often seen them in the forests of the
north.
Both Colorado and New York have
interesting collections of game ami

"Of course they're roses; I knew

An Awkward Situation,

George Borgfeldt, head of a whole
sale bric-a-brac firm, has had many
an experience with his five hundred
employees, some of which are amusing.
1t is the custom of the house that
each buyer lunch with the especial
salesman who has him in charge, at
the expense of the house.
One day Mr.. Borgfeldt called an ex-
pert but always overdrawn and hard
up salesman to him..
"Shaefer,' said he, when was it you
took Mr.. So-and-so out to lunch? 1
see you have us charged up with
lunch for him.
Yesterday" replied the salesman
readily
What time?"
In the middle of the day." asserted
the salesman without hesitation.
Mr.. Borgfeldt shook his head uncom-
prehendingly.
THAT is remarkably strange" de-
clared he. because it was yesterday in
the middle of the day that I took him
out to lunch myself "-Philade1p

'Well dOctor?" he asked, like one
not having the courage to use a more
direct question to inquire about the
state of his health.
But the doctor paid no heed. With

attractive of the Canadian animals.
England, which is supposed to have
nothing but birds and relatively small
game, displays the most amazing lot
of animals. There is the handsome
striped zebra that never was believed

Who ever heard of hunting zebras in
England? But then England extends
all over the globe. This part of the
British big game exhibit came from
Africa.
In the same section are the long,
drawn-out necks and amusing little
heads of the giraffe and his mate, and
between them the head of the hippo
potamus that would be the ugliest
brute on earth if it were not for the

corner are various kinds of antelope
and deer that are named according to
the number of kinks in their horns,
the koodoo having three and the duik-
erbuck none at all.
