FOR THE BRIDES TABLE.
Suggestions for Decorations at Wedding Feast-About Arrange
 ment of the Tables,

Table and house decorations just now are very much in the minds of the many prospective brides who will have home weddings and receptions within the next few months. Each young woman considers this the great. est event of her life, and she is anx. ious to have every detail of the func- tion beautiful and effectively carried out.
 A pretty arrangement and adorn- ment of the tables have everything to do with the rooms good appearance. Small. ones, set out in horseshoe shape. make sn~outline that some brides favor for the good omen of the arrangement. Some one with poetic understanding of the truth that the wife is the warmth and light of household, as we'll as its center. simply grouped the tables about the hearth, the brides being nearest to 1t. Placing the ta- bles on a circle, with the brides in the center, looks well, especially when hers is directly under the chandelier and garlands radiate from the latter to each of the other tables. This decoration can be used, however, only when there are not too many points of attachment in the circle and when the garlands are fastened to the highest part of the chandelier. If there are too many strands. or they are put too low down. they will surely interfere with the bridal party.
 A glass vase completely wound with white satin ribbon and filled with white sweet peas. giant white sweet alyssum and maidenhair ferns makes a lovely and unusual centerpiece for the table given up to the wedding party. Unless the cloth is of lace the vase should be set on a lace dolly and a bit of the fern laid about its base to distinguish 1t more clearly from the dolly. The vase, slender and absolutely smooth of surface. and at least ten inches high, should be close ly wound with twoinch ribbon and if fancied bow may be tied low down on the stem. A little fitting and a few stitches are needed to cover the base and the lip of the vase.
 A little white satin slipper overflow ing with blossoms and resting on a bed of them is a dainty decoration for all the tables at a wedding feast If one cares to buy so many slippers.
 Again. for the bride a triple array of flower baskets Is charming. and the same decorative scheme can be car ried out in single baskets on the other tables. When this is used the middle one of the group of three needs a rather high. slender handle. To this ribbon Is tied in a bow. and the ends are brought down to smaller low-han- died baskets close by on each side and again tied in a bow on these. The two end baskets should face the mid de one at right angles.

The comedy of the interstate co

The comedy of the interstate com merce commissions investigation into the combinations and monopn- lies of the coal and oil carrying roads has been continued in Washington this week. says a Washington writer. It is true that the commission man aged to steal a march on some of the officials of the coal carrying roads in the Philadelphia hearings and it looked then as though the investigs- ton which was begun in response to a joint resolution from congress might turn up some interesting data. But the hearings of officials in the present session has been more or less of farce. lt is true that a deplOra- ble state of affairs was shown to ex- ist. but the officers of the roads uues- toned answered with their tongues in their cheeks and said after it was all over that the commission could have learned just as much by an in- telligent perusal of the annual re- ports of the roads in conjunction with a copy of the railroads manual. One instance was the case of the Buff falo. Rochester and Pittsburg rail way. which vas under investigs- ton. There were two officials of the road up for examination. One vss the general freight agent. Nr Davis. and the other the general superintsn- dent. Nr Noonan. Between thera they explained that the Rochester and Pittsburg Coal and Iron Co vas the property of the Buffalo. ROches- ter and Pittsburg rsilEsy- The Jef- feTson and CIearfeId Coal and Cosa Co vas owned by the same Eroup gF officials. and these t-0 coal compsn- iss ovned. mined and shipped more than % per cent of the coal that passed over the BHrato. ROchester and Pittsburg railroad. uhich was primarily a coal carrying rad O. course this is in distinct defznre nf the ruling of the supreme court which holds that a railroad mus. ao. have any interest in the commodities

HEARD IN PASSING.

The country has given over S21,- 000,O00 for relief of San. Francisco. But no community or individual has been crippled by the individual con- tribution. The generosity of the country seems second only to its re- sources.-Torrington Register.
 The present seems to be fairly good year for the U. S. Steel con- pany. The returns for the first quar- ter show net earnings of $36.634,219. which is at the rate of $146,536, 900 a year. The quarter shows gain over that of year ago of more than $lS,60o, 0o,0OO.-Bridgeport Standard.
 Many heroes of both sexes will come out of the hell of shock and fire in San Francisco, says the New York Sun. and not the least of them will be the man on guard with battered engine at O'Farrell street and Van Ness avenue, who, being asked what he proposed to do when the flames were racing toward him, replied: We are waiting for it to make one more stand. If it crosses Van Ness avnue the city is gone"
 It has always been a mooted point in Austria as to how an officer ought to salute brother officer when he has lady on his arm. This delicate point, however, has now been settled by the issue of an official army order. In future if the lady is taking the arm of the officer then he can, and must, give the salute with his left. But if as favorite custom is, the officer is taking the lady under the arm he has to disengage himself and salute regularly with his right.
 This is how Maxim Gorky drinks tea: First of all. it comes not in a cup but steaming hot in a glass. Gorky drops in a slice of lemon, takes two Jumps of sugar from the bowl and dips them lightly into the tea. Then he lays them aside and talks while they get soft. When he is ready, he breaks off a morsel of su- gar and holds it between his front teeth while he takes a sip of hot tea He bites another morsel and takes another sip, and so on until the tea and sugar are both gone together.

There is every prospect, says one writer. that General Funston will be brought east after the present stress is past in San Francisco, and it will be interesting to see how long he will be able to stand the glare of the limelight without the public begin ming to pick flaws in his costume. Possibly it is the fault of the peo- pie. Possibly it is that of the heroes. General Funston is the latest addi- tion to the list and it will be inter- esting to see how he stands wear.

our public schools the teacher, after
talking with her class on the subject
of mythology, read to them as follows:
"Vulcan. smith. architect and chariot
builder for the gods of Mount Olym-
pus, built their houses. constructed
their furniture etc. The following
day the subject of the preceding day
was given as a language lesson, and as
no mention was made of Vulcan the
teacher asked the class who built the
houses for the gods of Mount Olym-
pus. For awhile the children seemed
to be lost in deep thought, when sud

TWO SCOTCH STORIES.
origin OF the Macintyres and the
Bloody Hand Le.rend


My father, says writer in Black
woods Magazine, had no end of anec-
dotes about our ancestors, parts of
which | remember, though was only a
schoolroom child of under fourteen
when l heard him relating them. l
was, however, old enough to feel keen
ly interested in them. One story that
impressed me very much was related
to account for the origin of the Clan
Macintyre. A party Of Macdonells on
one occasion We're out in boat when
knot of wood sprang out, causing a
serious leak whereupon one of the par
ty stuck in his finger to fill the hole
and then cut 1t off with his dirk, thus
saving the life Of the whole party.
From this circumstance his descend
ants were called the NIacintyres, or
sons of the carpenter.
Another story which 1 heard my ia
Their tell relates to the bloody hand
which appears in our coat of arms. A
doubt having arisen as to which of two
brothers certain estate belonged, it
was agreed that he whose flesh and
blood should first touch the property
was to be regarded as the rightful own
er. Accordingly the two young men
started in two boats for the land in
question. One of them, seeing that he
was losing the race, when near the
shore pulled out his dirk, cut Off his
hand and threw it on land, thus estab-
fishing his right to the property, as his
flesh and blood had touched it first.

SLAVERY IN ENGLAND.

In l1I2 slavery was declared by the
judges to be contrary to the law Of
England. But during the years i'm

advertised for sale "a negro boy,
sound, healthy and of mild DISPOSE

the English colonies in the seventeenth
century. Cromwell seized Irish boys,

and sold them In the slave markets

berless places in the state papers Of the
period. He treated some of his royalist
opponents in England and Scotland In
the same way. A similar fate befell
many of the supporters of Monmouth's
rebellion in the west of England. In
the latter case, as Macaulay tells us,
the ladies Of the court, including the
queen, made large profits on the sales.
