THE DAY OF THE WEDDING.

After receiving her bridesmaids and maid Of
honor on this auspicious day, the bride drives
to church with her father or nearest male
relative. The maids follow in carriages, but
alight first in order to receive the bride in
the vestibule of the church. The maid of honor
gives the last touch to the brides veil, and
spreads out her train.
Then the procession forms. First the ushers
an even number, take the aisle, walking in pairs;
then the bridesmaids enter by twos, the maid of
honor walks alone, and lastly the bride on the
arm of her father or whoever gives her in mar.

Arriving at the chancel, the bridal party d-
vides, one-half going to the left, the other to
the right, leaving a narrow passageway for the
bride to pass. Here she leaves her father to
take the extended arm of the groom, who ad.
vances to meet her.
The maid of honor takes her place at the left
Of the bride, and the best man assumes similar
position at the groom's side.
At the words of the ceremony, "Who civeth
this woman away?" the father of the bride ad.
vances and places the hand of the bride in that
of the clergyman, who gives it to the groom The
father then steps back and takes his place in
the family pew.
At the time of the ring ceremony the groom
receives it from the best man and hands it to
the bride, who gives it to the clergyman, who in
turn presents it to the groom, the latter plac-
ing it on the brides third finger of the left
hand. just previous to this the maid of honor
has taken possession OF the brides bouquet and
glove.
At the conclusion of the ceremony the bride
takes her husbands right arm and they together
lead the procession out of the church.
A WORD ABOUT THE RECEPTION.

Let say, timely preliminary, that girl
not only does her family an injustice by forcing
them into greater expense than they can be-
comingly afford, but brings down unpleasant
though deserved, criticism on her own head.
AS the brides family assumes all the ex-
pense it is but natural that the domestic ex-
chequer should not be too heavily burdened A
home wedding obviates the necessary expendi-
ture for the floral decorations, fees for sexton
organist and carriages to and from the church.
These individual expenses, even though moder.
ate, amount collectively to a surprising sum.
1t is the prerogative of the bride to name the
day choose the clergyman, bridesmaids and
other requisite details for the wedding. per-
sonal note should be written to the clergyman
requesting him to perform the ceremony.
The groom assumes the expense for the Of
feiatlng clergyman, marriage license and also for
the carriages for himself, best man and ushers.
The bridal bouquet is provided by the groom,
and he may also supply the bridesmaids and
maid of honor with flowers.
1t is an optional matter whether the bride or
groom presents the bridesmaids with souvenirs,
but the groom usually looks after those pre-.
sented to the ushers and best man.
A WORD ABOUT THE INVITATIONS.
The invitations are issued two or three weeks
before the day of the ceremony. These are sent
out In the name of the brides parents or her
nearest relative, and failing this, her guardian.
The most fashionable engravers are using the
shaded old English type, though script is also
seen.
1t is never in good taste to economic on
the price of wedding stationery to lavish it
upon some other detail; better serve less pre-
tentious refreshments than to send out cheap
looking invitations.

WIRE ON FOOT; BEAR ALARM.
Cook Feels Signal From Swll Barre

COHASSET, Mimi, Dec. 14.-F'rank
Hanson, a cook, employed at lumber
camp near here, shot and killed 400
pound black bear which had been
providing about the cook shanty for
several nights.
On several occasions the big animal
had been seen and shot at, but with
out stopping his raids upon the swill
barrels. The cook was determined to
have a better chance, and before he
retired he fastened a copper wire to
his foot and wrapped the other end
about the swill barrel. About a. m
he felt a tug at his foot, and, jumping
from bed reached for his rifle and a
lantern. He opened the door and, spy
ing bruin enjoying an early morning
repast from the contents Of the bar
rel beside the door, fired at him
three times.
One of the bullets broke the spine
and penetrated the heart. Two buck
shot and a A caliber rifle ball found
under the skin when the animal was
dressed, and the marks of steel trap
teeth on one foot, showed that the
bear was an old campaigner.

SO, after a long consultation, they finally
decided to buy her a new axe.
But there are a few cases Of hard luck
amid this good fortune. One of these fell
to the lot of some railroad engineers the
other day.
Fifty OF the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
engineers on the fifth division, which runs
through the oil country from Grafton to
P~arkersburg. formed a pool, into which
each paid a certain sum, and then sent out
a crew to prospect for oil.
Several wells were sunk but no oil came
to the surface. 1t is true hat one of tho
wells developed into a -gasser"-that is,

men resolved TO give it n more trial
and the very next well, finished two or
three weeks ago, proved to be a bonanza

procession caves the church. the men and

chase.
When asked by his n~eighbors why in the
world he had made such a use Of his money
he simply replied

At the bottom Of a piece Of farm land on
the side Of a mountain lived a snake hunter,
as the West Virginia mountain farmer is
nicknamed, in a little log hut. h daily
fare OF this man n his family had never
been anything other than the far-famed
"combfead and SOW belly" In summer he
went barefooted, while heavy rawhide boots
covered his feet when cold weather came.
Oil was struck on his farm in such guam
titles that the farmers share prom ised
soon to make him the wealthiest man for
miles around. As soon as the hTst install
ment Of cash was paid over TO him he was
seized with the desire to spend. he made
arran gements to pay the town a visit.
Using shank's mare, his sole means OF con-
veyanCe, by the way, he took a short cut
across the mountains until he reached the
small railroad town that meant metropolis
TO him, and the very first thing he bought
was a pair Of patent leather shoes!
Perhaps the best example Of all the en-
barrassment caused these folk by the sud-
den acquisition Of wealth was the case OF a
family of mountaineers back in Calhoun
county. This family consisted OF father,
mother and four grown sons. Every MEM
Der Of the household was six feot tall and
large and strong in proportion.
The mother was a vigorous old woman,

and, representative OF the nation.
The Russian cards are perhaps the most
elaborate. The faces Of the kings and
queens are different in each suit. indicating
the racial elements that go to compose the
empire.
sOn the Greek cards classical heroes and
heroines are represented. Nestor, for
example. is the king Of hearts and Orestes
the knave; A~gamemnon is the king Of
clubs, Hercules the jack OF spades, and
Minos and Dana the king n queen Of
diamonds. The Greek pack is rather a
cheap one and scarcely does honor TO the
celebrities portrayed.
~CadiZ is a centre for card manufacturing.
The idea Of the Spanish card marker seems
to be TO get as much color on the cards as
possible. The royal robes are Of unusual
magnifcence. The clubs are big bludg-
cons in green and red, and the knave Of
clubs. gayly caparisoned on a prancing
horse, reminds you instantly Of lack the
Giant Killer. The spades are ugly little
daggers, and for hearts and diamonds there
are disks and dice cups. The cards IN some
of the Spanish packs are very thin and have
a capital spring.
THE Madeiya cards come from Lisbon.
The figures are more conventional in design
than on the Spanish. The ace cards ARE
adorned with typical Portuguese scenes.
"A popularity Of the pack bought in Con
