Why Not Sane Wedding Festivities?

Why Not Sane Wedding Festivities?
The friends of a newly-wedded pair
in Burlington, VT, thought it would
be a good joke to hire a truckman
to block the way to the station and
prevent the couple from boarding the
train to go IN their wedding journey.
The truckman carried out his part of
the program when the wedding party
approached the station, but the car.
riage containing the newlyweds was
being driven SO rapidly that a col
lison seemed imminent. To avert this,
the driver refined the horses to one
side and thereby collided with a tele-
graph pole, wrecking the carriage and
injuring both the bridegroom and the
driver. The case affords a fair ex-
ample Of the foolish and dangerous
pranks INDUCED in by. thoughtless
merry makers at weddings. It is time
that an organized crusade was made
for safe and sane weddings.-Spring-

A Famous Landmark.

To most of us the HISTORIAN tablet
is a name only-an "old, forgotten,
far-off thing" almost as apocryphal
as Aladdin's lamp-if not, indeed, far
o so. The fact that DR.. s. Wells
Williams monumental work, "The
Middle Kingdom" contains a transla-
ton by DR.. Wylie, in 5000 words or
50, of the inscription carved upon the
ancient stone, centuries and centuries
ago, by the HISTORIAN Christian mis-.
sionaries in China, does not suffice
to make it an object Of popular in
terest. But now that a young Danish
traveller and archeologist-who. by
the way, speaks English like a native
has made a journey to remote Sian
tn, and brought to New York ar exact
copy of 1t, in limestone. from the same
quarry, reproducing every Chinese
character and symbolic ornament Just
as it appears in the original, the thing
becomes a matter of interest to all
Americans; and the attendants in the
Metropolitan Museum of Art spend no
little time nowadays in directing
strangers to what they themselves
agree in calling "the Chinese stone."-

Hair Color Heredity.

Heredity Of hair color is discussed
by Gertrude and Charles Davenport
in the American Naturalist. AS re-
CARDS the nature of the coloring, the
authors consider that there are prob
ably two main types of pigment in
human hair, a reddish-yellow,
which finds its highest development
in bright red, and the other a Sc
p%ia-brown, the intensity Of which
ranges from light yellow to dark
brown and black. As the result of a
combined study of both e%ye-color and
ha%ir-color, the writer's finally arrive
at the conclusion that two parents
with clear blue eyes and yellow or
haxen straight hair can have children
only of the same type, no matter what
the grandparental characteristics
were; that dark-eyed and haired, cur
ly-haired parents may have children
like themselves, but also of the less
developed condition. In the latter
case what the proportions of each
type will be is, for a fairly large fam
lily. practicable by a study of the i'm.
mediate ancestry"

The Man Women Like.

In a recent novel there occurs this
discussion of "the mystery of the
man who is successful with women"
Here, for example, stands me a
natural good fellow, seemingly; frank
and brave, a mans nan, and, what is
more, a leader of men, In whom, for
some reason inexplicable, women see
naught, with whom the good and the
bad of the sex will have nothing to
say or to do. And, here again, stands
his counterpart, a man whom men
in%stinctively distrust, a little con-
temptible, shutting rat of a fellow,
say-or just poor 'so-and-so,' or, say,
again, a strapping, presuming mass of
manhood, with a tanner objection
able to his kind; all's one, big or lit
tie, he has sorcery, the touch incom-
municable, and women, old and young,
gentle and simple, good and bad alike,
are sensible of the charm, both those
who resist and those who yield must
admit the mystic drawing"

The Real Work.

Some people have an idea that a
humorist must be bubbling over with
fun all the time, which idea is incor.
rect, Of course, because a humorist
cannot afford to crack jokes or tell
funny stories when he needs the
money they might bring to him when
sold. Instead of appearing funny,
therefore, he is a lugubrious sort Of
wretch, with big ears.
However, sometimes a humorous re.
mark will fall from his lips-but he
always sells it later on If he's lucky,

Woman Champion.

Miss Lillian Smith, the champion
long distance woman swimmer, is said
to: be responsible for the popularity
Of swimming among London women
this season. The Bath club, a fash
ionable resort In London, has almost
doubled its membership in the last
few weeks, and a new club, the City
of London Ladies' Amateur Swim
ming club, has been formed to &C
commodate business women living in
the city.
According to Miss Smith, swimming
is the very best exercise for women,
both stout and thin. "The woman
with too much flesh can reduce her
weight, and the thin girl can develop
muscles which she never dreamed of
BEFORE" declares Miss Smith. "The
best swimming costume is the tight
fitting university dress. Skirts look

PUZZLE AMONG the NATIONS
For Centuries Students Have Tried
Without Success to Trace Origin
Of Basque People.

The Basone provinces lie in the
north of Spain. and although for centu-
ries students have tried to trace the
real origin of the people and find a
key to their language, they have failed
to do so.
The race is a Catholic one, and
their devitiOn to the Catholic faith Is
SO firm that it is commonly said the
devil gave them up as a hopeless OBJ
ject of his sinister attentions. simply
because he could never understand or
master their language.
All other known tongues spoken by
the sons of men have been shown to
possess a common origin, traceable to
the Arabic and Semitic. But the Basque
language has entirely resisted the
ph1lologist. In some aspects the YER
nacula shows traces of q Chinese ad-
mixture; In others it is clear that
North American Indian terms are ma
tive to 1t. 1t also shows traces of
barbaric languages spoken on the east
coast Of Africa.
The people themselves bear physi-
illogical traits found in those who
speak the said tongues. The native
name of Basqueland is Eskuara, and
their motto is '%Iruracbat," or three in
one." Nor is their political structure
anything like that of any known po-
litical body, though they belong, of
course, to Spain.

FIRST TIME TRUTH WAS TOLD
L%lveryman Refused to Assess Dam.
ages Against His Reckless But
Honest Customer.

In q small southern Indiana town is
q liveryman who has ideas of his own
about conducting his business. For
example:
Not long ago an Indianapolis drum
mer. known for his ability to get over
ground in a hurry, had one of old
Henry's rigs with which he drove to
a neighboring town. Part Of the way
was over a corduroy road. The drum
mer's business detained him longer
than he expected, and when he finally
got back in the buggy for the return
trip he found that he would have to
drive some to catch a train.
He made the livery outfit scamper
along the road at a lively pace. Finally,
when he struck the corduroy road, he
felt something snap, and knew that he
had broken a spring on the buggy. He
saw visions of having to make the
damage good to old Henry. When he
reached the barn he jumped out and
said:
Henry, I broke a spring. How much
do I owe you?"
"How did you break it, Gus?" asked
the liveryman.
Driving like the dickens over a
rough road" the drummer answered,
frankly.
"Then you don't owe me anything"
why, how's that?"
well, that's the first time 1 ever
had a spring broke that way. It q

Mr. Chairman, that the cotton cloth
made in South Carolina annually
would make a sheet big enough to
cover the entire face of America and
Europe and lap over on the toes of
Asia? Or, if all the cattle she raises
in each year were one COW, she would
browse on the tropical vegetation
along the equator while her tail
switched icicles off the north pole, and
that her milk could float a shipload of
her butter and cheese from Charleston
to New York? Or, if all the mules we
market each year we're one mule, it
would consume the entire annual corn
crop of North Carolina at one meal,
and kick the spots off the sun without
swelling its sides or shaking its tail?
Or, if the hogs we raise annually were
one hog, that animal would dig the
Panama canal in three roots, without
grunting, and its squeal would be loud
enough to jar the cocoanuts off the
