Why Not Pass tho Plate2

They ought TO pass the plate at
church weddings. 1t comes natural to
do it in church. and to do SO would
add a pretty and useful employment to
the duties of the usherS, who always
have little spare time before the
bride arrives. And. really, getting
married is more expensive than ever.
and, though wedding presents are ex-
cellent in their way, what the young
people usually need the most Is cash.
Instead Of the list of gifts which the
newspapers sometimes print We should
read. 1.-The collection yielded $4,000
COO" That would he nice. 1t is much
easier to store and care for money
than plate and glass! And money al
ways fits and there is no such thing as
an embarrassing duplication Of dollars.

Tho Salt Charm Failed,

Some three years before the Franco
German war broke out Count Secken-
dOrff accompanied King William /. on
his visit to Napoleon III. and was
present ut the celebrated dejeuner CIV
en- in the Pavilion dc Diane ut FOn-
tainebleau. King William, who was
sitting next the empress, was asked
by her TO pass the salt, and in comply
ing with this request he threw little
salt over his shoulder. Upon the en-
press eXclaiming, why do you do
that?' the king explained that in his
country it was the custom to do so
when passing the salt to ward or bad
luck and any chance of a quarrel. The
empress in n prettily turned speech ut
once replied. But surely there IS no
danger of anything interfering with
our friendship" In less than three
years the Germans had crossed the
Rhine.-LOndon Spectator.
