THE HUHEYM0ON PARADE.
Wedding Custom In One Town When
the Train Is Late.


the Train Is Late.
A small city, which need not be To-
rated more particularly than that it is
somewhere east of Boston, has it's own
peculiar way of speeding the newly
married on their honeymoon.
For one thing, every one goes to the
station to see the couple depart. This
Is done in many small places. The
ghowering of rice or confetti and the
throwing of the old shoe take place,
not at the home of the bride, but at the
station. To that extent the city re-
ferred to is not unusual.
But in this city train schedules fire.
uuently go awry, and when they do
the unusual happens. The wedding, OF
! course, has been celebrated on time,
and the reception has taken as much
time as such things usually take. The
departure from the brides home is
made in due season to catch the train
| if it is on time.
The wedding guests rush to the sta
tion. where all other inhabitants hav-
ing nothing better to do have assem-
bled already. 1t is a free show which
no one would miss.
The carriage bearing the newly mar
ried pair is drawn by white horses and
decorated with white ribbons. Custom
demands this. and no one has yet had
the temerity to do otherwise.
The carriage arrives at the station.
and it is learned that the train is so
MANY minutes or so many hours late.
Usually the measure is in hours.
The carriage doesn't wait. It goes
parading. It drives around and around
a prescribed route. from every point OF
. which the driver can get due notice OF
the approach of the train.
The crowd remains patiently at the
: station. Other curious persons station
themselves at points along the route
"a Just to see the wedding coach pass.
4. Sometimes two or three carriages,
drawn by white horses and decorated
in white, swing steadily around this
Ill hymeneal circuit. 1t seems like an
endless procession. 1t is not UNUSUAL
n for a wedding pair to spend the first
N' five hours of their honeymoon just rid
). ing round and round waiting for the
- train.
- When the screech of the locomotive
IA finally is heard the driver continues tt
rs. swing up to the platform just as thu
train comes to a stop. Then the brid
va and bridegroom make a mad rush TO
Do. their car amid a shower of rice AM
confetti and old shoes. The honeymoon
res parade is over Exchange.

Eoolinu the DOGS.

In a certain part Of Scotland, &C
eording to Dean Ramsey, the shep-
herds used to take their cOllies with
them to church. The dogs behaved
we'll during the sermon, but began to
be restless during the last psalm and
saluted the final blessing with joyful
banks. In one church the congrega-
ton resolved to stop this unseemly
detail. so when a strange minister was

THE REAL B0WERY.
Swiftly Passing, 1t Has never Been
WHOLLY Revealed.

The real Bowery has never been
written up, and probably it never will
be. because it is swiftly passing. Hun
dreds of attempts have been made by
those who have not even penetrated
the surface of it's reserve. Its heart
and soul-for the Bowery has both, as
we'll as reSerye-are a sealed book 70
the writer's. 1t is a Sargasso sea lit
tered with derelicts of all worlds, drift
ing back and forth with the endless
ebb and flow of the tide, while all
about them is the ceaseless activity OF
commerce, of development, moving
onward and upward despite the cease
less cross current, which no literary
mariner, cruising in these uncharted
waters, can understand.
Those who know it best and have
some skill in writing as we'll as some
understanding are so overwhelmed by
it's endless complications, its infnity
of contradictions. its astonishing good
ness and its frightful depravity, the
battling mystery Of it's wonderful hui
manness and its fantastic mystery,
that they do not dare attempt to write
even what they know. Only one man
in all literature could have interpreted
the Bowery-and Balzac is dead.
Most of us know the Bowery through
fugitive newspaper sketches and fear
some lurid melodramas. The sketches
present certain phases more or less In
diligently, but the melodramas are
weird burlesques, unworthy even OF
being scoffed at, so far as any consid,
GRAFTON of truth is concerned. But
these cheap melodramas, endlessly re-
peated, have built up fiction that has
come to be accepted as the reality

where RICH MEN ARE FEW.
They Are as Scarce as Black Swans
In Bulgaria.

They Are as Scarce as Black Swans
In Bulgaria.
:. Bulgaria is the nearest approach to
a peasant commonwealth which the
world has known in modern times.
There is not a Bulgarian Slav who is
not the owner Of a plot of land upon
which he lives and out of which he
gets his own livelihood by his own
labor.
Large landowners are almost un-
known The few men Of wealth in
the country are mostly of foreign birth
or descent, and even they would not
be counted as wealthy according to
the standard Of other European coun-
tries.
The small landowners who form the
vast majority of the population, are
peasant born and peasant bred. They
are extremely thrifty. They are con-
tent with very plain food. They wear
the same sheepskin garments from
year to year, only turning their coats
inside out with the changes of the
season.
Whole families, even of well to do
peasants, sleep in the same room upon
mats stretched out on the floor. They
live under conditions Of dirt and dis
comfort which no British or German
or French laborer would tolerate for
a week. Yet, Notwithstanding their
disregard of the simplest sanitary ar
rangements, they grow up singularly
strong and healthy.
Moreover, they are free from the ir-
ritation caused among other laborers,
overworked If not underpaid by the
spectacle of neighbors living in aff1u-
ence and ease without any necessity
to curtail theft expenditure. Rich men
are black swans in Bulgaria. | was
told by foreign banker in Sofia who
had traded for many years in the
country that he doubted greatly
whether there were fifty men in all
the rural districts who had net in
comes of $1,000 a year.-London Illus
