Marriage SuperstitiOnS.

"Blessed is the bride that the sun
shines on.''
A bride should use no pins in her
wedding clothes, and she should avoid
looking in the glass when she is com.
pletely dressed for church.
The wedding ring should not be
tried on before the service, and to
take it off afterward is unlucky.
eff you marry in Lent you will live
to repent.' May is an unlucky month
for weddings, and June and October
are especially lucky.
It is an old Yorkshire custom to
pour hot water over the doorstep after
the happy couple have departed, in
order to keep the threshold warm for
another bride.
When the bridesmaids undress the
bride they must be careful If she have
any pins about her to throw them
away. A single pin left might cause
her ill-luck. And if a bridesmaid
keep to be married before the next
Whitsunside, or Easter at the very
earliest, one Of those pins she need
not expect.

The BULLETINS DAILY STORY
THE ASPIRATIONS OF BETTINA

The whistle of the factory emitted a
series of deafening shrieks, the roar OF
the machinery gradually subsidized and
the huge doors were thrown open as a
weary stream of humanity came forth
from the gloomy walls into the dim
twilight of the spring night
There goes our Lady Betty, head up
in the air as usual shouted one of
the factory hands, as a tall. intelligent
looking girl made her way hurriedly
through the crowd Look at the color
in her face. She's mad clean through
Wonder what's happened now"
To these and similar remarks the
lady referred to paid no attention, ex-
cept to cast a glance of whitening scorn
upon her fellow employees. How she
hated it all-the dusty, noisy factory,
the roar of the machinery, the sitting
air, and anost of all the big, blowsy
foreman who was in charge The color
surged higher in her cheeks as she
thought of the insults he had offered
her only that day. How she longed to
get away from it all. She felt deep
in her heart that here she was out of
her sphere; she knew that she was
fitted for better things.
Betty's one ambition was to WRITE
She had fully intended to become an
author some day, and with this end IN

her mind and certainly there was not

While walking home this spring
evening she made resolution. She
would leave home and go to the city.
Mother and the boys would take care
of things at home, and in the city she
could work and support herself and
study besides Perhaps there she would
realize her ambition.

As THEY ARGUE IN IOWA.

Out in Iowa they think the New
England issue is OF more Importance
than Cannonism. and the Des Moines
Capital feels sure that no congress-
man should be chosen until it Is known
how lie stands on the question: The
Capital says:
THE New England states have the
factories. Iowa has the corn, beef, but
ter. pork, eggs, etc. New England
wants high prices for what she sells
and low prices for what she buys.
There has been a faction in the work
working tremendously with the Nav
England contingent and we want to
know il that relationship is to con-
tinue. The public wants to know also.
In Iowa the issue ought to be in re-
|aation to continuing the good prices
now paid for all our products. In a
recent election in Massachusetts, the
people voted to continue their own
prices and reduce ours. What popu-
larity would man have in Massa-
chusetts provided he went the
stump suggesting lower prices for
boots and shoes? Such a man would
not get very far. Yet every man on
the stump in Iowa who proposes to
reopen the tariff question will either
knowingly or otherwise be working in
the interest of New England. The
farmers might as well begin to think
these things over.

Terra Gotta Railroad Station.

The New York. New Haven e. Hart
ford railroad has built a terra Gotta
station at Rowayton, Conn. This is
a departure in railroad construction.
The object of it is absolute safety from
fire, combined with ultimate economy
from the saving in repairs and insur-
ance premiums
The terra Gotta, in the form of ho1-
low blocks. is the same that Is used
for fireproofing skyscrapers in New
York and other cities. The use Of this
material for the structural part OF res
idents and other small buildings is
comparatively recent. One of its ad-
vantages Is that the hollow spaces act
as non-conductors OF heat, with the
result that the house is warmer in
winter and cooler in summer than
houses of the ordinary kind.
