One day in the cloakroom of the SEN
ate, apropos of discussion whether,
from an intellectual standpoint. states
men of the present fall below the
standard set by those of the past, one
of the members told the following
story:
There lived in Lee county, Ky, Il
local sage by the name of Jesse Cole
Jesse entertained the notion that the
present day type of lawyer was not
to be compared with the jurists of the
old days. One day as he was entering
the courthouse at Beattyville he motto
ed a group of lawyers who were dis
cussing the points of case that was
to come up that day. Cole, disguised
by their conversation, stepped up to
them and said:
Gentlemen, thirty or forty years
ago the lawyers in this state were
men-great, big, immense men, wear
ing fur hats as big as bushel baskets.
But now, gentlemen, honestly believe
that a fellow could without the least
difficulty draw tomato can over the

THE UNDER MARRIAGE.


wedding Customs and Frolfcs That
Prevail In Holland.
In Holland two weeks before a mar
rage takes place cards are sent out de-
claring that the banns have been pub
lished. This is called an under mar
riage" The card also announces when
the final marriage is to take place. The
wedding itself is small affair, and
the civil marriage is the only one rec
ognized by law. A church wedding is
usually locked upon as a concession to
either fashion or sentimentality and is
called "consecration Of the marriage"
The couple enter the church behind the
family members, bridesmaids and 9th
er attendants. They are shown to seats
before the whole assembly, and the
clergyman comes in with two Witness
es long after the others have been seat
ed. He first makes a prayer, then de-
livers a sermon on suitable text,
which usually brings the bride to tears
After that the couple are married. Then
a hymn Is sung and the blessing given.
The whole occupies about an hour and
a quarter. Before leaving the church
a huge Bible Is presented to the bride
groom During the two weeks of wait
ing between the under marriage" and
the real marriage all the wedding fes-
tivitiss take place. The happy couple
are literally surfeited with dinners
balls and theater parties, and all man
ner of practical jokes are played on the
pair. Az the dinner toasts innumerable
are given, and at each the whole COM
pany riiias from the table to sound and
touch glasses with the bride and groom,
who never rise. Among their friends
the idea is not to allow the couple a
night Of sleep, II possible, before the
wedding day.

The Timidity of the shark,

The shark, like the elephant, is,of a
timid disposition and is cautious and
wary in his approaches. All observers
are agreed that he is always attended
by two pilot fishes, who act the same
part as that wrongly assigned to the
jackal in reference to the llon-going
on ahead to examine any likely object
and returning to inform the shark
whether 1t is Of an eatable nature. The
splashing of oars or even the arms and
legs Of a swimmer will often deter the
shark from making an attack. and
there Is every reason to believe that If
swimmers in tropical waters would al
ways carry with them three or four
hand grenades they would have little
occasion to fear interference by these
creatures. 1t is strange that so obvious
a precaution should be generally neg
lected.-London Standard.

Americans are known as a dyspeptic
people. The extent of this disease may be
inferred from the multitude of so called
medicines offered as remedy. They
are often in tablet form and have no value
except as palliatives of the immediate
effects of dyspepsia. The man who used
them may feel better but is surely getting
worse. They do not touch the real cause
of the disease. Dr. Pierce's Golden Med.
ical Discovery is medicine specially pre-
pared to cure diseases of the stomach and

not made to give temporary relief but to
effect permanent cure. In ninety eight

Broke the Regulations.

At one of the western army posts In
the days of Indian fights there was a
young lieutenant who was careful to
see that the regulations relating to sa-
luting were faithfully observed. One
day a soldier who was leading an OBJ
streperous mule to water and had both
hands fully employed In the task was
met by the lieutenant. The soldier,
who had an occupation which demand
ed his undivided attention, failed to sa-
lutte the martinez, who Immediately
called him to account for his remiss-
ness.
"Why do you not salute an officer
when you see him?' he demanded.
"You hold this mule and 1 will"
calmly returned the man.
But the lieutenant did not insist, and
the regulations were broken.-Philadel-
phia Ledger.
