HER NAME WAS LUCIA.
Suggestive Tune That Made the Bride
Turn Pale.

Two ladies, who had known each
other in years gone by, met on the
street Both of them were married
to musicians. The one, bride of a
year. was pushing a baby-carriage in
which we're three fine babies-triplets,
all girls. The other lady had been in
the bonds of matrimony a couple Of

Sand Swept Asia,
Exchange

In the arid lands of central Asia the
air is reported as often laden with
fine detrltus, which drifts like snow
around conspicuous objects and tends
to bury them in a dust drift. Even
when there is no apparent wind the
air is described as thick with fine dust,
and a yellow sediment covers every
thing. In Khotan this dust sometimes
so obscureS the sun that at midday
one cannot see to read fine print with
out lamp.

Antiquated Customs.

There is no court in Europe more
tenacious of it's etiquette-which was
inaugurated several hundreds of years
ago-than that of Spain. 1t Is said
that King Ferdinand VII once made
a minister resign because he had ac-
cidentally touched his hand. One Of
the quaintest ceremonies is the closing
of the royal palace gates at Madrid
every night Electric light has been
in use in the palace for quite a long
while, but nevertheless every evening
at II o'clock the officiating gentleman
in waiting appears, accompanied by
several servants, who carry ancient
lanterns, to demand huge key from
a higher official to lock the doors Of
the palace. This is all the more anus
ing as the huge key does not fit the
modern keyholes. The key is then re-
turned to third official, and every
night gentlemen in waiting have to
patrol the corridors of the palace,
though sufficient guards are about, to
watch over the slumbers of their royal
master.

Some years ago there died in Ne
braska n man named Walsh, who, as
a boy, started suspension bridge
When Walsh was about ten years Old
the first steps Cor the ,rl traction Of
the suspension bridge at Niagara were
taken. The first thing necessary was
the stretching Of siagle w..c u,ross
the chasm. The engineer IN cLsr-e
had thought of n way 10 'c, i, across.
"What boy is the best kitcliicr in
town. he asked.
The Walsh boy was named as the
best kitetlier in the town of Niagara
Falls, and the engineer accordingly
asked that he be brought to him. He
was made to understand that he must
fly his kite across the Niagara river.
He flew it across and allowed il to
come down on the other side. Men
were there to seize it. Then the en-
gineer attached wire TO the string
on his side. and the men on the other
side detached the kite ana by means
of the string drew the wire across BY
this, in turn, a cable was drawn across,
and the bridge was well begun.-Har-

Paul l. of Russia was very deaf and
also very tyrannical. One day an aid
de-camp, intending to please him. ap-
preached and cried in his ear, Il am
glad to see, your majesty, that your

what is that you say?" growled the
czar.
Raising his voice, the aid-de-camp
said, II am glad that your majesty's
hearing is so much improvedr'
"Ah, that's it, eh?" chuckled the
czar and then added, Say it once

The aid-de-camp repeated the words,
whereupon Paul l. thundered: $50 you
dare to make fun of me, do you? Just

Next day the aid-de-camp was on
his way to the mines of Siberia.

A Witty Reply

Whenever the United States supreme
court on hearing the argument of coun-
sci for plaintiff in error is entirely
satisfied that he has no case the chief
justice is apt to say to counsel for de-
fendant in error that the court does
not care to hear further argument.
At one time Hon. Matthew Carpenter,
from Wisconsin, was counsel for
plaintiff in error and opened the case.
Before he was through the court was
satisfied that there was nothing in it.
and so when he had concluded and
counsel for defendant in error arose
Chief Justice Waite said, "The court
does not care to hear any further ar
gument."
Counsel for the other side was a lit
lie deaf and. although noticing that the
chief justice spoke did not hear what
he had said and. turning to Mr.. Car
penter, who sat beside him, asked
what had been said.
"Oh, hang it" replied Carpenter in
tones audible to the bench. The chief
justice said be would rather give you
the case than hear you talk"
