Giving Notice at the Altar.

So many weddings at Bellcville,
that something new over there was
inevitable. Here it is.
Thomas J. Smith of Thayer,
Mo-, gave his prospective wife no.
lice at the altar today before he
married Miss Minnie Lohoff of
BelIcview, Mo. Just before they
were pronounced man and wife he
said to her: IF you make biscuits
with water, I'll divorce you"
There seems to be more sense
in this than there is in the usual
call for objections. There never
are any spoken objections ut the
time, and l.eople who have them
don't ''forever afterward hold'theil
peace" so the formality would
better be displaced by some sort
of invitation which meets with re-
sponse. The person forming the
ceremony could pause where be

The accounts are very voluminous,

Living on 4 Cents a Day.

DR.. Hinlhedc is physician of
Denmark. He has proven by him
self and his family that people pay
entirely too much attention to the
high priced Iuxur;es of the table.
He has demonstrated that health
and strength are best procured by
doing away with meats, alcoholic
beverages, tea and coffee. and that
all the joys of the palate are ac-
complishcd by devotion to bread
and butter, potatoes, fruit, cheese
and varions kinds of cereals and
vegetables. In subsisting on this
diet DR.. Hindhede has permitted
himself to spend i cents day. but
hc shows learnedly that Il man may
live and set Il really excellent tn
BILE for 9 cents day, while if he
happens to be in atflnent circum-
stances, he can dispose of 10 cents
d day for his nourishment and live
like a prince. And what is much
to tho point, all Denmark is begin.

form to his principles Of living.

Oldest Bank In the World.

There was a kind of public re,
cord Office attached to the palace
and temple at Ninevah, in which it
was customary to deposit impor-
tant legal and other documents,
such as contracts for agreements
for the purchase and sale of pro-
pcrty, marriage settlements, wills,
etc. Among these thele were
discovered official statements as to
the history and transaction of the
eminent banking house of Egidu
at Ninevah. Assyrian chronology
proves that these refer to date
about $500 years before the Chris
tian era, when Abraham dwelt at
Ur of the Chaldees, as it stated in
Genesis. We may. therefore,

The Road Drag.

A simple contrivance, SO simple
that it can scarcely be called an
invention, is likely to cause vast
improvement in the dirt roads of
the United States, and nine-tenths
of all the public highways Of the
country are of that class. Road
drags are made of the two halves
of a split log, or Of planks placed
on edge 3 feet apart, with cross
pieces, or of'planks nailed together
with Il lap joint. The length is
about feet, and the drag is haul
ed along the road at an angle Of
45 degrees. This implement, SO
primitive in form but so remark
able in proved results, is applied
when the road is muddy by a team
driven ut walk along one side of
a road, returning on the opposite
side. \ dry road is never drag
ged, but the work may 90 on in
summer when rain is falling, or as
soon as it ceases. In winter the
drag should be applied Just before
a freeze.
The drag tests have been so sue
cessful for several years that both
the Missouri and the Illinois legis-
latures at the recent session pro
vided for the work with state com
pensatlon, giving preference in its
performance to the occupants of
the land. Rural delivery carriers
are all advocates Of the drag sys.
tenn, for they have daily proof OF
its efficiency in maintaining a
smooth surface and good drainage
on dirt roads. 1t has been said
that if the drag cost $50 and was
painted red it would have been ap'
proved much faster at first, for i,
seemed absurd!y simple. But its
merits are now known and legis
latively recognized. Road drag.
ging will proceed hereafter with
the systematic support of tax
payers, and its widespread bene-
ticial results can not be doubted. -

Science plans a Wonderful Tele
scope.

On the summit of Mount Will
son. peak in Southern California,
Is a solar observatory which will
outcIass any other. The intention
is to spend 100000 upon its equip
lpcnt, Mount Wilson WAS selected
as the site because the atmosphere
there was clear and tranquil for a
greater number of days than al
any other place tested. The great
est rejecting telescope in the world
is to be the climax of The equipment
of this observatory. A huge lens
five feet in diameter, eight inches
thick and weighing a full ton is
being perfected at the Mount Will
son laboratory in Pasadena. To
such nicely must its surface be
ground and polished it will take
three yesrs to complete 1t ready
for mounting. The glass in the
rough costs 81 pound, says the
Ohio Magazine. With great
patience and the highest mechani-
cal skill it is being fitted for its
momentous work. When CON-
pleted it will be transported by an
auto truck up d narrow trail Of
the observatory end there will be
mounted under 8 rotating dome SO
feet in diameter. With this mon
ster eye it will be possible topene-
trate further into the depth OF

Shoes for Animals,

In Bohemia when geese are to
be driven long distances to market
they are shod for the journey. The
method of shoeing is as simple as
it is effective. The geese are made
to walk repeatedly over patches of
tar and sand. This forms a hard
crust on their feet, which enables
them to walk long distances with
