QUEER oLD-WoRLD CEREMONY
Whereby the Mayor Of Cork consti-
tutes Himself Lord High Admit
raj Of the Port.

The ancient custom of the mar
riage of the Adriatic, whereby, year.
ly on Ascension day, since the year
1177, Venice has been made the
bride of the sea, is familiar TO
everyone; but few know of a SINH
lar ceremony that, since the grant
ing Of the old city charter, takes
place triennially on the first Thurs.
day of September in Cork harbor,
Ireland.
BY virtue of clause in the city
charter, the mayor of Cork is consti-
tuted admiral of the port but every
three years he must assert his juris-
diction by throwing dart into the
sea.
At two in the afternoon the may
or, the town council, all the civic
officers and the band of the Cork
Civil artillery embark on a vessel
and proceed to point between Poor
Head and Cork Head, which is sup
posed to be the maritime boundary
of the borough. The mayor puts on
his official robes, and, attended by
the mace and sword bearer, the city
treasurer, and the town clerk, like
wise wearing their official robes,
goes to the prov of the ship and
launches into the sea a dart made of
mahogany and tipped and winged
with bronze, thereby asserting his
authority as lord high admiral of
the port.

Thought Lightning Struck Him

On the evening OF February II, the
occasion of the recent electric storm.
Harold, son of Sidney Brown of Graf
tan, returned home from Bedding, ia
tigued after attending the show and
skating rink, and retired Immediately
10 his bed of slumbers. After half an
hour in dreamland, he was unconscious
ly expelled from his bed and found
that "midst rain and thunder" many
friends had assembled to convince him
they had already heard wedding bells,
and a shower was on in earnest.
Just to give him glimpse OF the
forthcoming ordeal a mock ceremony
was performed. The Rev. (?) Louis
jerks officiating, satisfactory TO the ex-
pectations OF any clown. Being inter
rupted once, however, by the rude fist
of the master of ceremonies, thus silenc-
ing the elder, while soloist Louis En-

Shortly after u seedy looking, unbid-

ped into the house and demanded the
appearance of Mr.. Harold Brown, an
nouncing himself general agent for
wholesale implement house in Cooks
Corners and that he had full line OF
samples which the house desired Mr..
Brown to handle the coming summer.
He left about everything from an Otse-

ately disappeared. The company broke
up at late hour and voted Harold
fully equal TO the occasion.

HOLDING THE BALANCE EVEN
Superintendency Of Providence That
Works for the Equality of
the Sexes.

There are more casualties incident
to men than to women, as battles,
sea voyages, with several dangerous
trades and professions, that often
prove fatal to the practitioners. |
have seen a treatise written by fa-
nous physician on the distempers
peculiar to those who work on stone
or marble. 1t has been. therefore,
observed by curious men, that upon
a strict examination there are more
males brought into the world than
females. Providence, to supply this
waste in the species, has made allow
ances for it by suitable redundant
cy in the male sex. Those who have
made the incest calculations have
found, | think, that taking, one year
with another, there are about 20
boys produced to 10 girls. This OBJ
servation is so well grounded that
| will at any time lay five to four
that there appear more male than
female infants in every weekly bill
of mortality. And what can be a
more demonstrative argument for
the superintendency of Providence I?

Altogether the color scheme OF the
whole costume pays such a pretty
compliment to natures Autumnal
mood that she in return will assuredly
provide any number OF harmonious
and efficient backgrounds when its
wearer takes her walks abroad in
park or boulevard.
Very soon I shall talk to you about
fashions DEGREES respecting acces-

and now Just a word as 70 evening
wraps. Many OF them are made in
the reversible form, which enables
every woman to be a ''turn-coat"-
this being a fashionable distinction
nowadays instead of a political dis
grace. while their gorgeous metallic
tissues and velvet bFoeades are COM
bined with ermine or skunk to give an
effect of costly richness which has
rarely before been attempted or
achieved.
In fact, there never was a time when
by making the right or the wrong use
of fabrics and fashions, women can
be either so supremely beautiful or so
exceedingly ugly. The matter is to a
great extent in their own hands; or
rather. perhaps ! should say, in their
figures, whose outlines and perfection
are of as vital importance as In the
days OF those other revelation" modes
the MerVeilleuse and the DirectOire.
So that IL your figure cannot, even
with the help of the Statue" corset,
adapt itsslf gracefully to the present
styles, you must create or discover a
style to suit your figure, and by thus
daring to be distinctive insure a sue
cess and a charm which You could
never achieve IL you merely made
yourself into a slayish and grOtesque
copy of those to whom both Nature
and the fashions had been more kind.

the latter. During a great anroral display of

Svante Arrhentus, the great Swedish scien-

The theory of Professor ArThenius is that
the sun is continually discharglng ionized

which are electrified negatively. These are
