Lengthy Serial Stories.

Ernest Treeton, writer OF serial
stories, told of the young lady amateur
who CHANGED to get an unfinished story
accepted by a weekly paper for imme-
date publication. Months passed, and
the thing went on. A desperate editor
wrote letter after letter imploring her
to wind up. The unhappy girl wrote
despairingly that she couldn't stop It:
the elongating thing had wound round
her as the sea-serpent wound about
LAGOON. Finally the editor himself
chopped off the story. Mr.. Treeton
said: II have myself kept weekly
serial bowling for over six months, but
can name you a genius who has done
the trick for over three years.

OYSTER PARTIES AT Woo.
Novel Amusement Of Spanish Water.
ing Place.


vigo. one of the Spanish watering
places, offers a novel amusement to
its patrons. Oyster parties are the
rage and are Of daily occurrence.
Large parties are formed which pro-
coed to the beds in large. fiat-bottomed
boats. and the oysters are fshed up
and opened as soon as they are
brought into the boat
Few refreshments apart from the BIZ
valves are offered. as one of the inter
esting features OF the party Is the
awarding of a prize to the one who
consumes the greatest number.
They are passed to the guest on the
shell, and these shells are thrown into
basket. from which a count Is made
at the end of the feast.
The Vigo oyster is one of the small
est of its kind. being much smaller
even than its California relative, and
score OF 200 is not at all uncommon
as the party sometimes lasts the en-
tire day.
Ice is largely luxury in Spain, and
the Vigo oyster parties are the only
assurance the epicure has of getting
the delicacy in its best form.-New

authority for the statement that many
headache, from which a woman suf-
fers upon returning from a shopping
tour, a walk or ride, is due to the
strain upon the leverage of the roots
of the hair. caused by the action of the
wind upon large hats. Headaches
hurt, but hats are handsome. Posi-
bly, some millinery genius will invent
feminine headgear in which it Will be
possible to take a double reef in when
the winds blow high and low and call
for undue strain upon the hair roots
that make for women's crowns of
glory.-Cleveland Leader.

relating that If that animal be sur

THE LIGHT BRIGADE.

That the charge of the Light Brigade
seemed to onlookers n piece of mag
nificent folly is evident from all remin-
iscences of that day. First came the
attack of the Heavy Brigade upon
three thousand Russian cavalry. Then.
later in the day, the attempt to re-
capture seven guns taken from the
Turks by the Russians in their first
advance upon the redoubts led to the
charge of the Light Brigade.
"When we saw the English coming
at u.s." says Russian soldier. there
was but one thought. What fools"
we said. We never dreamed they
would charge
Ivan Ivanovitch, Russian survivor
of the day. says in his "Recollections:"
1--WE were so sorry for them. They
were fine soldiers, and had such fine
horses. But the charge-it was the
maddest thing ever done. We could
not understand it. l had been in the
charge by the Heavy Brigade in the
morning. and was wounded. We had
all unsaddled and were tired. Sud
denly there was a cry, The English
are comingv
"Our colonel was angry. and ordered
the men to give no quarter.
81 was lying down with my wound
bandaged whea l saw them coming.
We thought they were drunk, from the
way they held their lances. Instead
of carrying them under their armpits
they waved them in the air. OF
course, they were easier TO guard
against like that.
"Those men were mad, and never
seemed to think of the tremendous
numbers against them, nor of the fear
full slaughter that had taken place in
their ranks during that desperate ride.
Then they neared us, and dashed in
amongst us, shouting, cheering and
cursing. / never saw anything like it,
They were irresistible. and our men
were quite demoralized."

III LUCK IN MAY WEDDINGS.
Popular Superstition Has Descended
From the Romans.

May weddings are supposed by
many persons to be unlucky. II is n
heritage from the ancient Romans. A
May bride, says Ovid is short-lived.
his explanation being that the month
included the celebration of the Lee
muria in honor of the dead. Apart
from any evil omen, such time of
mourning would interfere with the
bathing and toilet arrangements that
were proper preliminaries to we'd
dings. Plutarch suggests that as April
was the month of Venus, and June
that of Juno, to select May was to
slight those nuptial goddesses; or that
June, as the month of the young
Guniores), was preferable to May, the
month of the old (majores). Ovid's
"Mense malas maio nubere vulgis ait"
tthere is popular saying that wick
ed women wed in May was inscribed
on the gate of Hollywood when Mary
queen of Scots married Boutwell, in
May, 1867. What followed strength
ened Scottish belief in Mary's unluck-
mess.
