Curious Customs.

In many parts of England there eX-
lists even today "a very curious custom
which makes it imperative for the girl
friends of a bride to drench the door
step of her home with boiling water if
they wish other marriages to follow
very quickly. At the wedding, there
fore, great kettles Of hot water stand
ready for this strange ceremony, and
long after the rest of the guests have
dispersed the young girls of the party
may be seen keeping the threshold
warm as long as the water supply will
last. Likewise, in Iceland, where va
rious interesting and fantastic super
stitions abound there is an ancient
custom that every bride must invite
home, and every article of food must
be prepared by the bride herself If
she succeeds in pleasing her critical
guests she achieves not only praise for
her own skill alone, but she helps along
her own younger sisters, who are then
assumed to be equally we'll instructed

A Story Of John Allen.

he is one OF the most popular men in public
life. And of course, he feels his defeat

of John Allen and the late Speaker Reed.
The latter had been defeated for the prest-
Dental nomination; Allen had been de-

they returned to Washington about the
same time. They met in one of the corri-

cess. After many hours the hunt had
to be abandoned, and the men returned
to their quarters.
On the second day the search was
commenced again, and it seemed GER
tain that the missing man would be
found with daylight to help the sailors.
1t was the belief of all that the IN
fortunate seaman was lying uncon-
scious or perhaps dead below decks,
and they redoubled their efforts. After
vainly calling the name of their miss
ing comrade and having looked in
every conceivable hiding place, the
search was finally abandoned and all
concluded that the man had gone over
board.
When the Amy Turner came into
the harbor two members of the crew
were sitting on the deck discussing the
strange disappearance and trying to
fathom it out, when they were startled
| by what appeared to be the apparition
of the lost man. The face was lean,
the eyes protruded and the whole ap-
pearance of the fellow was truly ghost
like. hetwo startled seamen wouldhave
rushed away had not the supposed APP

were not coherent, but the voice was
enough like that of Anderson to re-
assure them. Then Anderson began
to rave wildly, and the captain, COM

There are various degrees of what
some people are pleased to call "sore-
heads" Politically speaking, q
sore-head" is not always man whl
has been disappointed because he
has failed to be elected or appointed
to an office. Generally speaking, the
men in the new idea" movement in
this state are ''sore-heads," but not
in an o%pprobious sense. Their sore
less comes from a very well defined
belief that the present regime of Of
ficialdom has not been what is best
for the officials of the whole public.
In fact, they have the records which
show that this is the truth. Natural
ly, as citizens, they are sore" which
they have a perfect right to be. The

are "sore-heads" of this sort. Is
there anything Incompatible with
good citizenship in that fact?-Plain-
