CHARMING HOME WEDDING.

There was a very pretty home we'd
ding took place Wednesday afternoon,
May %, at O'Clock, at the home OF
Mr. and Mrs Perry Shaw, when their
daughter, Miss Florence Shaw, and
Waldo Booth were united in marriage.
Rev F. A. Holden performed the cere-
mony. The house was very prettily
decorated for the occasion with flowers
and green. The ceremony took place
under an arch of ivy in the front par
lors. The couple entered the parlor
to the strains of wedding march
played by Miss M. Holden. The bride
wore handsome dress Of white with a
long veil and carried bouquet of
bridal roses. A reception Immediately
followed the wedding at which a nice
supper was served. Four young girls
dressed in white, friends Of the bride,
did the hOnOrS as mattresses. The
house was filled with friends and
guests from Huntington, Shelton,
Monroe and other places. Mr. and Mrs
Booth received a large number of
handsome presents, which included
silver, cut glass ware and furniture.
After the reception the happy couple
were driven in q hack to Shelton, where
they left by train for q wedding trip.
On their return they will begin house
keeping in Benjamin Baird's place on
White Hills, which is in readiness for
them. They have the best wishes of a
host of friends as they begin house
keeping in their new home. E. ].
Buckingham did the honorS as the
master of ceremonies.

AND MODERN PAINTS.
INTERESTING HISTORY.

Among the ancient Babylonians,
Assyrians, Egyptians, Greeks and Ro-
mans paint was in rather common use,
principally for decorative purposes.
Like the old varnish used on the IA
nous violins Of Cremona, the compo-
sition OF these paints, some of which
have resisted the elements for one,
two or three Thousand years, long ex-
cited the curiosity of artists.
Several of the Greek and Latin
writers like Theophrastus, Pliny and
Vitruvius, have left us more or less
comprehensive details regarding the
manufacture OF these ancient paints
and pigments; but the ascertained
facts do not always correspond with
the descriptions of the authors men
toned. Pliny and Vitruvius, for ex-
ample, and more especially the latter,
describe processes by which white
lead could undoubtedly be produced
on a small scale; but in all the white
paints remaining on ancient monu-
ments, baths, ETC., no trace of white
lead has been found by the chemists
who have examined them. AS the de-
scriptions are SO minute, however, it is
probable that artificial white lead was
known to the ancient painters of
Greece and Rome at least, and per-
haps to the Egyptians, but that the
last traces of it disappeared before the
birth of chemistry as science.

three French chemists of his day ex-

Last winter while in Florida we lis.
tened ito a lecture at q ChautauQua
gathering deploring the depravity Of
the ignorant clay-eating, snuff-taking
native of the mountains of Tennessee
and North Carolina. While to some
extent it is q fact that such are the
conditions, we should Judge that the
imagination of some speakers had been
too easily exercised, and that while
such things are in a measure, they are
the exception rather than the rule. In
a conversation with Rev Mr. Hoyt,
principal of the American Missionary
Association school at Grand View,
Tenn, he stated that the number Of
scholars who were partakers OF smut
were very few, and that it would be
but a short time when the few who
were using it would be ashamed to
have their friends know of the habit

year round. One OF the worst things
noticed was the habitual carrying of
firearms, which often gets them into

land mountains one day, after

orphan from infancy she was adopted
by her uncle, Mordecai. who, recogniz.
ing her great natural beauty, trained
her in the accomplishments of highest
wOmanhOOd. She was chosen by the
King of the Realm to be his wife and
queen. She did not disclose her nation
ality. Haman was Premier and favor
lite of the king. Haman hated Morde-
cal because he would not worship him
as the king had commanded. He did
not know Mordecai's relation to the
queen. To be revenged he obtained a
decree for destroying all the Jews in
the provinces. Mordecai discovers the
plot and charges the queen to petition
the king for the safety of her people,
which she does at the peril of her life,
on account of the law that no one
shall 60 unto the king unbidden. The
king hears her petition, and Haman is
defeated. Haman has prepared a gal
lows for Modecai. An attendant in
forms the king Of the fact. eThe king
orders Haman to be hanged from it
and proclaims Mordecai premier in his
stead. After this the people rejoice.

SUBSCRIBING FOR ROADS.
How Farmers In IA Missouri County
Built Fine Highways.

The methods used in obtaining funds
to build subscription roads" in Boone
county, Mo-, were described few days
ago by w. b. Cauthorn, an engineer In
Columbia who helped and who directed
the building of some of the finest high
ways in that part of Missouri, says the
Kansas City Star. 81 don't think Amer
leans like the toll idea" Mr.. Cauthorn
said, especially when they are pay
ing taxes too. The subscription road
is more popular than the toll road. In
preparing to build the Columbla-Mex-
leo free highway the promoters start
ed with nothing except confidence
They were laughed at, but they said,
Let us build one mile and you'll want
twenty And that was true. The
county court subscribed half the
amount needed The property owners
adjacent to the first mile put up the
remainder.
That was the start. 1t attracted
others living farther away, and they
offered to subscribe for mile, so that
the first contributors were given two
miles of highway for the price of one.
Others joined in, and the work contin-
ued, the cost TO each subscriber being
what he paid for one mile, and yet he
had the use of the whole road. 1t is to be
extended this summer in the same way
until 1t is thirteen miles long, all free
highway. The highest subscription out
side that from the county court was
500. The sums ranged from So to
500. Farmers We're allowed to give
$50 in work. one man who owned six
ty acres gave 500 and worked it out.
He said the road added % per cent to
the value OF his land"
We've been hauling rock" farmer
said Some of us have got plum tired
waiting for laws. We're going to build
two roads this season. each five miles
long. by the subscription plan. They'll
he free roads. The county will contrib
ute one-h0lf the cost. The more we
get of these roads the more the farm
ers demand them. l know one man
who gave $1,000, and he owns only
500 acres. That's the effect OF road
agitation in a community. We get
subscriptions from abutting property
and from benefited districts. Every
one who goes near the road is asked to
help, and they all do H."
