Miarried After All...
Alexander Bolles, one of the early.
itinerant preachers, who preached in
three states among the Alleghany
mountains, was much tormented by
the influence of. one John Rogers, 3.
Jerseyman, who openly taught athe-
ism and the abolishment of marriage.
On one occasion, while holding a meet-
,
man and a woman push-ed their way
up to the stump which served as apul—
pit. The man, interrupting the ser-
mon, said defiantly:
Rogerites.” The old man looked at
him over his spectacles and waited;
“W'e don’t believe-in no God. Nor in
marriage. This is my wife, because I
choose her to be; but I’ll have no
preacher nor ’squire meddlin’ with us.”
“Do you mean to tell me,” thundered
Father Bolles, “that you have taken
this girl home as your wife?”
“Yes, I do,” said the fellow, dog-
gedly.
“And you have gone willingly to live
with him as your husband?”
“Yes,” said the frightened girl.
f‘Then I pronounce you man and
wife, and whom God hath joined to
pether let no man put asunder. Be off
with. you! You are married now ac
cording to the law and the Gospel.”

" Tippecanoe” and'Madls‘on.
Among all the stories on his grand-
father, William Henry Harrison, the
one that ex-President Harrison enjoys
the most is that which relates to an
incident at a drawing room held by
Mrs. Madison at the White House in
1813. It was shortly after the battle
of the Thames, and General Harrison,
the hero of Tippecanoe, was the most
talked of man in Washington. A lady
of great beauty and high connections
said to the President: ‘
“General Harrison has received my
commands to meet me here this even-
Ing.” , ,
“But that he cannot do,” said the
President, “because he left Washing-
ton this morning, starting from this
very house with his horse and attend-
ants, and must now be some forty
miles on his way to the West.”
“Still, I. laid my commends upon
him,” said the lady, “and he is too gal-
lant a man to disobey me.”
Somewhat nettled, Madison replied:
“We shall see, madame, whose com-
mands he obeys.”
The words had scarcely left his lips
when the door opened and in walked
ison frowned and turned away, while
her ladyship laughed in triumph.—

Earmcrs in Japan.
Japan is one vast garden, and as you
look over the fields you can imagine
that they are covered with toy farms
where the children are playing with
the laws of nature and raising samples
of difierenit kinds of vegetables and
grains. Everything is on a diminu-
tive scale, and the work is as fineand
accurate as that applied to a Cloisonne

Dissemination of Seed.
In a recent number of the bulletin
of the Torrey Botanical Club, .Prof.
Byron D. Halsted points out that the
pods of the well known Chinese wis-
taria. are most effective catapults, ex-
pelling their seeds with a pistol-like
explosion and scattering them far and
wide. Everyone knows that our com-
mon witch-hazel acts similarly. Each
cell of the woody capsule contains one
large, bony, and shining seed, wedged
The seed is finally ejected with tre-
mendous force and considerable noise.
If one carries home a fruiting branch
is alarmed some night by a violent
bombardment. Even more surprising
is the propulsive action of the sand-
box of the West Indies. On one occa-
sion an English traveler, carrying
some of these fruits home in a steamer,
had them explode in his trunk, and
with difficulty proved that he was not
a dynamiter. The, squirting cucunr
ber ejects its seeds in a fountain—like
jet of muscilaginous water. One of
the commoneSt devices resorted to for
dispersion of seeds is the use of hooks,
grapnels, or. adhesive hairs. In some
cases, as in Gollomia, the hairs are
not released until the seed reaches the
proper moi-st locality, when they pro-
vject and anchor it, down—Cosmopol-
itan.

The. Llama. Gave the Young Man 8 Well

The llama of‘ South America is an
expert marksman, though it never
uses its craft in the procurement of its
food. Only when annoyed and angry
does it give an exhibition of its worn-
derful skill. in hitting the object aimed
The llama’s weapon is its mouth;
its bullet is composed of saliva and
chewed hay. - ,
Several years ago, at the fair
grounds in St. Louis, I witnessed an
exhibition of this creature’s powers of
expectoration, in which the victim was
9. country beau, who came very near
losing his sweetheart thereby. This
young man was one of those self-suffi-
cient individuals- who imagine that
knowledge sits enthroned in the tem-
ples of their own personal intellects;
"that what they do not know is not
worth knowing.” He was annoying
the llama (the animal stood in the cen-
ter of its pen, probably fifteen feet or
more from its tormentor) by throwing
cloiis of dirt at it and by beating on
ihe rails of the pen with his cane.
I saw by the creature’s actions that
it was angry; the rapid movements of
its jaws indicated that it was prepar-
ing to attack its persecutor. I warned
the. young .man, telling him what to
expect; his sweetheart begged him to
and to com-e away. But he
treated my warning with derision, and
told the girl that “he knew his busi-
ness.” Suddenly there was a whiz-
zing noise, followed by a sharp spat;
the young wiseacre lay supine upon
his'back, with his eyes and forehead
plastered with a disgusting mixture of
saliva, hay and mucus. ‘
“I hate‘a fool’" said the girl, as she
shouldered. her parasol and walked
away.
