JUxTAP0srTION OF NAMES.

From the London News:
When we drew attention to that we'd
ding of Miss Wedlock and Mr.. Marriage
the other day we did not anticipate the
shower of similar cases which cores
pondents have been pouring upon us.
From q list Of twenty-six authentic
cases, in moat instances giving partic-
ulars and dates, We select the follow
ing:
At Lowestoft q Mr.. Warmer and Miss
Freezer were united in marriage
At Bristol a Mr.. Blizzard and Miss
Gale were united in matrimony.
Mr.. Pitt-Lewis, Q. c., tried a case Of
Alabaster vs.. White not long after one
of High vs.. Low, and some time after
this of Halfpenny vs.. Penny.
At Partridge Lane Chapel a Mr.. Rock
preached in the; morning. a Mr.. PART
ridge in the afternoon and a Mr.. Crow
in the evening of the same day. The
arrangement, whi0f,, of course, was not
Intentional, was made by a Mr.. Cuckoo,
who was secretary of the Sunday
school, in which Messrs. Finch, Martin,
Swallow and Bird were teachers.
In a midland town harvest thanks
giving services were conducted in two
churches on the same day-in one by
the Rev. J. E. Flower and in the other
by the Rev. w. Leafe.
Some years ago the pastor of Lon
don church was named Pigg, and two
of his deacons were Messrs. Hogflesh
and Bacon.

LITERARY LOVES

From the, Ladies' Home journal:
They had just met; conversation was
somewhat ftful. Finally he decided to
guide it into literary channels, where
he was more at home and turning to
his companion, asked:
Are you fond Of literature?"
''Passionately," she replied. II love
books dearly"
Then you must admire Sir Walter
Scott" he exclaimed with sudden amin.
alton. rs not his Lady Of the Lake

poetic imagery? Is it not
1T is perfectly lovely" she assented,
clasping her hands in ecstasy. II sup
pose I have read it a dozen times.''
And Scott's Marmion.'" he contin-
ued, with it's rugged simplicity and
marvellous description-one can almost
smell the heather on tho health while
perusing its splendid pages"
1T is perfectly grand" she murmur-
cd.
And Scott's 'Peveril Of the Peak and
his noble Bride of Lammermoor'-
where in the English language will
you find anything moro heroic than his
grand auld Scottish characters and his
graphic, forceful pictures of feudal
times and customs? You like them,
am sure"
Il just dote upon them." she replied.
And Scott's Emulsion" he continued
hastily for a faint suspicion was begin
ming to dawn upon him.
II think" she interrupted rashly,
that It's the best thing he ever wrote"

TURKEYS FOR THE RANCHES,
From the st I0uis Ran1lhlic.

IOhNevo fVH The RANCHES.
From the st. Louis Republic:
Rhode Island provides every year the
biggest turkey for the president 8
THANKSGIVING dinner, hut Texas il
coming to the front as the great tur-
key state. In the past few weeks she
has been gratifying the autumnal de-
>sire for turkey as far west as the
Pacific coast, as far north as Chicago
and as far east as Boston.
Some farmers in the middle west
claim that a turkey will 'devour as
much corn as a horse, and it does not
take many Of them to require as much
ground for ranging as steer. That
may be one reason why Europe does
not have a regular Thanksgiving day,
and on other holidays has to put up
with roast goose or sucking pig.
But Texas has the range for millions
upon millions Of turkeys and is begin
ming to make the turkey a. side issue
Of cattle ranch1ng. A drove of $500
from the San Saba foothills was steered
into Lampasas the other day, there to
be prepared for refrigeration and the
Thanksgiving dinner tables in all parts
of the land.

DANCED FOR SEATS At DINNER.
From the News York Press:

From the News York Press:
Dancing for their seats was the novel
performance through which the dinner
guests Of a London woman went re-
Gently. On assembling In the dining
room they found there were chairs for
only half the number, but there were
spaces between these chairs for as
many more. A pianist struck up a
dance and the men and women circled
about the room, the women going ono
way, the men another. When the mu-
sic stopped every woman sat down
promptly in the chair nearest her and
the men stepped into the spaces be-
tween the chairs. Then the chairs
for the men were pushed forward and
dinner was begun in q glow Of spirits
before a repast Is well under way,

Mrs. Payne Whitney, who was Helen
Hay, the poet sister Of the Hay family,
wore on her arrival from Europe a
handsome French suit which attracted
the attention of all who saw it. The
length was slightly more than walk
ing length and the material was heavy
French henrietta. The skirt had its lit
tie stitched plaits around the hips while
the foot had three deep tucks. The
waist was tucked across the bust, three
wide tucks falling nearly to the wide
dull silk girdle. The model could be

ture Of q family to high.water mark
more rapidly and effectnally than the
frequent coming to a house Of inter
esting guests. A family should not
live in isolation. Exclusiveness, if car.
ried too far, becomes a bane and q
blight. Our homes should be receptive
to the best influences obtainable from
the outside world. Ministers frequent
ly are obliged almost to keep open
house, particularly in towns and viii
lagos where hotels are few, and where
hired quarters. The children of the
ministers profit by their parents hos
pitality, and are polite, affable, and
keen-witted beyond others Of their age.
Every welcome guest brings to a house
hold pleasant sir of novelty, so that
his coming is like the touching at the
coasts Of home Of q ship from another
part Of the globe. Homes which FREE
quently receive people Of distinction
become themselves distinguished for all
that is best and most elevating in social
intercourse.
Should q theme be mentioned in com.
mon table talk which requires elucida-
tion that cannot at the moment be
given, 1t should not be dropped out OF
sight and forgotten. The encyclopedias,
the atlas, or the volume Of foreign
travel may be consulted to good pur-
pose in that expansive half hour which
should always follow the pleasant func-
ton Of the evening meal. One Of the
most versatile and original men Of let
ters America ever produced encouraged
what he called the encyclopedias habit
in his children, and his family almost
always grouped itself around the even-
ing lamp, in an earnest effort to finish
some story or topic which was sure to
have been preached at dinner. They
as exceptionally clever.
