Dear Miss Grey: Who should
pay the expenses of the wedding,
the father of the bride or the
groom?-Ray e.
A.-The groom pays for the
flowers for the bride and her
maids, for the carriage for him
self and the bride, and for the
best man and the ushers. He of
course buys the license and the
ring, and gives the fee to the
clergyman. 1t is the duty of the
best man to hand the minister his
fee, usually piece of gold in an
envelope. The brides parents
pay the other wedding expenses.

Africa's Gold Coast,

The Gold Coast is a British colony
on the west coast OF Africa. Its eli
mate Is VIGOROUSLY unhealthy. the
heat and moisture being excessive; the
coast Is lined with unhealthy swamps
and shallow lakes. while the peculiar
rock Of the country is said 10 give of
under the influence OF the air and
moisture. large quantities OF hydrogen
gas. The native towns are crowded
and dirty, Intermittent feyers and 9th
er diseases being always present
These are peculiarly fatal to Euro
peans. though the natives do not suf-
fer so much. The whole region Is
more or less a gold producing country,
but at present the value Of the terri
tory is chiefly due to the profuslon Of
vegetable products supplied by the rich
soil. Cocoanut and palm oil. bread
fruit. Indian corn. yams. sweet pota-
toes. lines and oranges are only some
out Of many other valuable produc-
tons Of this territory. The principal
exports are gold dust aud palm oil.

PRIZES AWARDED BY TEXAS

Dallas, Texas, Nov. 10.-Five hun

pieces, in twenty-nine stacks, the big
best containing one hundred and
twenty-five OF the yellow disks, will
attract the attention of delegates and
visitors at the third annual convention
of the Texas Industrial Congress, to
be held in Dallas on December 20.
Fifteen of these glittering piles of gold

best crops of corn and cotton, ten
acres of each, and the remaining four.

~ years of age who have cultivated
two acres of corn and two acres of
cotton. 1t is possible that some of the
prizes may be awarded to women and
girls, as they, too, have contested for
the honor of the biggest yields.
The average yield of corn in Texas
in 1910 was but twenty bushels, while
The average yield of cotton per acre
in favorable years is about one-thrd
of bale, but the reports, verified by
proof, that these contestants will
make, are going to be big surprise
in this unfavorable year of drouth, as
many of them have yields of corn
ranging from thirty to more than one
hundred bushels per acre, and from
one-half to two and one-half bales Of
cotton. And these yields can be Sc

a broad, flat, nearly oval head and body, and a
tail something like that possessed by the ma
jority of well-known fishes. Its mouth Is on
the under side and 1t can only feel the way to
it when feeding. But the real curiosity about
this fish is the fact that it carries its own stor-
age battery with 1t on all its wanderings and
that it has the power Of rechargiag the thou
sands Of little cells when they become exhaust
ed, using its power over and over again. There
are really two batteries. They are located
where one would naturally expect to find the
breathing apparatus of the fish, to the right
and the left of the beady black eyes and back.
They are kidney shaped, occupying perhaps
onethird of the upper part of the body.
When at peace with Rself and the rest Of
the world the torpedo fish swims around at
leisure or rests In shallow water, burrowing
in the sand at ease, but If attacked the battery
is discharged and the enemy is glad to call 1t a
drawn battle If 1t can swim away. 1t gets its
prey by using it's batteries to supply the neces-
sary current to kill, but 1t must first complete a
connection with the object of its attack. Men
have speared these torpedos in shallow waters
and have caught them in nets, bat on handling
them have been very glad to let them go and
avoid further shock. Fishermen have been re-
peatedly knocked low by a contact with them.
The species is common along the south At

The chances are that in the eyes of the av-

But it would be a great mistake to convey
the impression that 1t is only the apples from
Oregon and Washington which are f~reighted
over land and sea to win praises in foreign
tongues. The greatest apple shipping port in
the world is Jacksonville, California, and count
less apples have gone forth as silent mission
aries from the great orchards of the middle
west and particularly from the Ozarks which
long ago attained a proud position as a foun-
tain head Of the stream of apples that annual
ly overspreads the world. The most famous

varieties that find way to alien shores. each
apple neatly wrapped in its indgidual piece OF
paper, must perforce demand good prices
and consequently thus far the only sale Is
among the wealthy or wel[to-do. Perhaps,
some day, if the craze for apple growing con

There does not seem to be a very clear rec
ord of just when the American export trade in
apples had Its beginnings, but probably it be-
gan on a small scale almost as soon as the low
ars Of the good things of earth discovered what
a precious boon is the mealy sphere with its
refreshing, thirst-quenching propensities. The
lands over seas have acquired their enthusiasm
for American apples partly because they have
already had the best grade Of the fruit served
10 them. There are two explanations of this.
On the one hand there is the consideration that
pnly a good grade of apple Of certain varieties
has the keeping quality to permit of its ex-
5portation,-a transfer that means that weeks
and more likely months must intervene be-
tween the time the apples are picked in Amer
