who told him that Christine had gone
away for two days. She had left at
five o'clock the day before.
Raoul was distracted. He hated
Mamma valerius for giving him such
news as that with such Supplying
calmness. He tried to sound her. but
the old lady obviously knew nothing.
Christine returned on the following
day. She returned in triumph. She
renewed her extraordinary success OF
the gala performance. Since the ad-
venture OF the toad" Carlotta had
not been able to appear on the stage.
The terror of fresh "co-ack" filled
power of singing; and the theater
that had witnessed her Incompetent
sible disgrace had become odious TO
her. She contrived to cancel her con-
tract. Daae was offered the vacant
place for the time She received thun-
ders OF applause in the Juive.
The viscount, who. of course. was
present. was the only one to suffer
on hearing the thousand echoes OF
this fresh triumph; for Christine still
wore her plain gold rins. A distant
voice whispered in the young mans
ear:
She is wearing the ring again to
night; and you did not give It to her.
She gave her soul again tonight and
did not give It to you. II she
will not tell you what she has been
doing the past two days you

Utilities Measure
Passed by House.
N. M. N.

jefferson City, NO., Feb. 25.-The
administration Public Service Com
mission bill passed the House at noon
today by vote Of 1O6 to %.
Notwithstanding the caucus action
which bound every Democrat to sup.
port the bill as amended, three Dem
ocratic votes were recorded against
it. These were the votes of Clark
of Oregon, Coulter of Mcdonald and
Moore of Perry.
But to offset this four Republican
votes were counted for the measure,
being cast by Cooper of Andrew,
Kaufman Of Morgan, Valentine of
Putnam and Remmers of St. Louis.
Somerville of Mercer, the lone Pro-
gressive in the House, voted for the
bill.
No indication that every Democrat
would not vote for the bill was given
in advance of the vote, and no Dem
ocrat took the floor in opposition to
the measure.
The bill now is on the calendar for
passage in the Senate, and probably
will be passed Thursday.

VARIETY OF WEDDING CUSTOM
Bridal Costume Of White is One Of
the Oldest, Though Other coIors
Have Been Worn.

Yhe many countries of the world
all have different wedding customs.
The custom of brides wearing white
is an old one. White has always
been the symbol of purity, and this il
the main reason why it has been used
in all ages and in all civilized coun-
tries as the color of the bridal gown.
In old days the Hebrew and Roman
brides often wore pale yellow wells,
and among the so-called barbarian
nations-such as the early Saxons,
Goths and Norsemen-the bride al
lowed her hair to hang loose as a
symbol of her freedom, until enter
ing her husbands house, when it
was bound up upon her head as a
sign of her future submission.
This idea was held by the Anglo
Saxons until a recent date. A great,
many flowers were always used at the
early weddings and each kind of
flower had some special meaning.
Among the Greeks and Italians
the myrtle and olive were inter-
twined with white and purple flow
ers, the white standing for the brides
purity and the purple for Christ's
blood. Roses, myrtle and rosemary
were worn among the English. Pam
sizes were also often used. The rose
meant love and secrecy. One old
marriage custom consisted in each
guest dipping his spray of rosemary
into his cup of wine before he drank
the health and happiness OF the
bridal couple.

ANIMALS USED TO TEST DRUGS

Use is made by chemical manufac-
turers of various animals, such as
chickens, dogs, cats and frogs, to test
the efficacy of drugs. Ergotine, for
instance, is tested on chickens in an
extremely simple way. Should it
fail to turn a chickens comb black
it is at once known by the expert
menter that the drug is worthless.
Dogs are employed to test hsshish.
This is manufactured from female
buds of hemp, the male buds having
no particular medicinal value. Hash
ish administered to dogs induces 4
peculiar pathological condition, and,
Il the drug is correctly prepared,
which is seen in no other animal
save man himself. DigitaIis, the
