rois Bir Hrothcr and Get. Married.

Jacob Sachs and Minnie Wechsler,
both of Newark, n. j., wanted 10 get
married, but Minuie's big brother, Jo'
scph. said NO" Minnie. In tears,
planned with Jacob that, big brother
or no big brother. they would get mar
ricd, and i'm the night. when IL was
raining. they slipped out Of their home
and eloped 10 New York.
Joseph. the big brother, followed hot
on their trail He was unromantic
enough TO look upon the affair as an
abduction and not an elopement, and
he told the police how Jacob had car
ried OF his infant sister. With two
sleuths Joseph traced the pair and had
them arrested.
"Why. my sister is only seventeen
years old" said Joseph in court. This
man abducted her. She has no right
10 choose husband"
Insane jealousy" snapped Minnie.
Then she counted back TO the time
she was botii and proved 10y arithmetic
that she must be NJ leas, twenty three
years old.
And. q. Judge. won't you marry
us" cried the girl.
The Judge could and did. and Minnie
was a bride before she had time 10

Priests and Theatres.

In the current issue of the Actors
Bible the question is asked why Cath
Ollie priests are not allowed to attend
performances in theatres. Put in this
form, it is too sweeping a general
ization, for the restriction on eacll
priest applies only to the theatres Of
the particular diocese with which he
is connected. A Westminster priest
who crosses tlA9Tiver into Southwark
is under no restraint in this respect;
although few, as a matter of taste
and training, care to exercise this
liberty when away from home. It is.
largely a question of name and tradi-.
ton Cardinal Manning had no objec-
ton to the German Reed entertain
ments in st. Georges Hall or the. per-
formances of the Moore and Burgess
Minstrels in ST. James's Hall, but he
would have promptly suspended any
priest of his who was proved to have
visited a London, theatre London

canal, it.is claimed by the advocates
of the sea level plan to be in reality
only comparatively slightly higher.
The sea level canal; which has
been voted upon by the members,
will have width at the bottom of
$50 feet except in the Culebra cut.
where the width will be 200 feet.
The greater width in the Culebra
cut is. necessary to allow two ships
to pass each other safely between
the high banks Of the canal which
will be formed by the deep excava-
tirn.
The plan adopted will make Limon
bay one of the greatest harbors OF
the world. Almost through the
middle of the bay a break water will
be built and shorter breakwatel
will be built from San Cristobal,
thereby leaving Colon, which be-
longs to the Republic Of Panama,
outside of the American canal works.
Under the plan as adopted by the
board, San Crlstobal is expected to
become the chief city on the AtIan-
tic side OF the canal, and the promo
tory on which rises the statue Of
Columbus will be covered with off
cial buildings, docks, coaling sta
lions and all the, works necessary
for an important harbor.
l. is also proposed by the beard
10 build short canal from Mindi to
Limon bay, thereby making the dis
tance shorter by d few thousand
yards and slso facilitating naviga-
ton and making it possible for ships
to sail into the canal without having
to make any difficult turns.
1t has been decided the canal
should oe built nearer to the city OF
Pa anna and run between two hills,
one called Sosa and the other Ancon.
At the Panama side no plans have
as yet been made for breakwaters.
AS for the time it will take te
construct the sea level canal. several
me mbers of the board to-day ex-
pressed the opinion that the work Of
construction of the sea level cana
win not IN reality take mnch more
time than the lock canal and that il
TO unexpected difficulties are me,
with IL should not have required
more than two or three years.

Dance Before Altar in Cathedral.

The boys enter the space before

arms and their ivory casranets liz

and take their places face to face,
each to his allotted position.
The four tallest boys are named
the 1puntas,' or heads; the four next
the ..segundos,' or seconds, and the
two smallest boys are the "trancas,"
or bars. All through the various
figures their movements are infinitely
graceful and dignified The dance is
something like the minuet and the.
children time their steps to their own
sweet voices, accompanied by the low
tone of the magnificent organ or the
plaintive wall of the violin.
1t is quite impossible to describe
the impression this strange and
unique ceremony makes on the mind
the sound of those fresh young voices
ringing through the vaulted cathedral
the click of the caStanetS, the thrOng
of silent spectators and the presence
of the archbishop canons and clergy.

First Watches, First Fobs.

There is uncertainty as to when the
portable watch. as we understand it
today. came ipto use. It was proba-
bly, at the close of the sixteenth cen
tury, Queen Elizabeth owned a large
number Of watches. Mary Queen Of
Scots was the possessor of a skull
shaped watch. In fact, the death S
head" pattern was at that time much
in vogue. Endless We're the styles,
for there were watches shaped like
books, pears, butterflies and tulips.
The Nuremberg egg was a special
shape and was first made in 1000
Those queer shapesIof watches pre-
vented their finding place in the
pocket. When was the fob first used
in the dress of man? The German
of fob is ''fuppe," and it is believed
that it came from England. This
conjecture is strengthened by the fact
that a short fob" chain attached to
watch Of Oliver Cromwell's in the
British museum is, in point of date.

The watch is small oval one in a
