Newl; Wedded Pair , Led to Trouble for a Brakeman. This is the story of a grain of rice. It was small, unattractive and uncook- ed, and was one of a shower that was thrown after a newly wedded couple in tlze railroad station at Wilmington. Del.‘, when they boarded a train bound for New York the other day. _ The bridesmaids and ushers follow" ed the newly made husband and wife to the station, secreting on the way ' the usual bags of rice and old shoes to brew after the unsuspecting couple. The bride and bridegroom took their seats in the Pullman car, and talked ‘ to the group of friends until the signal for the starting of the train was given. Then the bridesmaids and ushers hur- ried to the platform, and as the train moved slowly out of the station the fun began. Rice fairly rained over the car._ It fell on the roof in a shower; it peeked in through the Open "window upon the young couple, and it fell into the en- gineroom on the engineer. Just as the train moved away an extra hur- ricane fell on the platform of the car where the brakem-an stood. Of course every one laughed and the people brushed it out of their clothes, and tried to look as though they en- joyed it. But a brakeman got several grains of the rice'in his ears. He shook them out as he supposed, and thought no more about the matter until next day, when he noticed a sharp pain in his right car. It became so keen towards night that he decided to go to a doctor ,next day. The doctor advised the patient to consult an ear specialist. The specialist-decided that a foreign substance had lodged in the ear. He syringed it with water and then with oil. He probed into the ear canal with little hooks of various sizes and shapes. All the time the brakeman was suffering more and more. He said that some insect was in his car. He could hear it buzzing all the time. Then the specialist called in another doctor, and 'they held a. consultation. They decided to use a pair of forceps on the brakeman’s car. He said they could do anything they liked with him; anything to stop the pain and buzzing. . So they got a pair of the finest sort of forceps bent about to suit the delicate ear canal, and they reached gently into thatear and felt about un- til they-found a small, hard substance. It was drawn out softly and carefully. It was a grain of rice. It had swelled slightly in the ear-prison. The brakeman was mad, and made a complaint against the practice of rice-throwing. The trainmaster issued an order to the trainmen giving them special instructions to prevent rice- throwing within the station—New York World. 20,000 BOOKS DENOUNCED. Expulgatorius Index Indicates What May ‘ . be Read by Catholics. The faithful subjects of the Church of Rome are forbidden in the Index Expurgatorius to read twenty thousand books. These are the works of eight thousand authors. Every- thing that Renan wrote is condemned, but only the more profane, from a Roman Catholic standpoint, of Vol— taine’s works appear in the index. Taine’s “History of English Litera- ture” is under the ban, but his studies on the French Revolution are omitted from the list of prohibited books by the wish of Leo XIII. All of Cousin’s works are condemned, but only four of Lemartine. For obvious reasons, Eu- gene’s Sue’s “Wandering Jew” anu the “Mysteries of Paris” are both forbid- den reading. The index contains a compiete catalogue of the works of bOLh the elder and younger Dumas, but only two of Victor Hugo’s books are found .n it—“Les Miserables” and “Notre Dame de Paris.” There are two Zolas in the Index—one is the au- thor of “Rome,” the other is a. theo- logian of the last century.——-Boston Evening Transcript. A Safe Course. An excellent reply was 0that once made by a Yankee pilot to the owner of a Mississippi River steamboat. The boat was at New, Orleans, and the Yankee applied for the vacant post of pilot, saying that he thought he could give satisfaction, provided they' were “lookin' for a man about his size and build.” “Your size and build will do well enough,” said the owner, surveying the lank form and rugged face of the applicant with some amusement, “but do you know about the river, where the snags are, and so on?” “Well, I’m pretty well acquainted with the river,” drawled the Yankee, with his eyes fixed on a stick he was whit-fling, “but when you come to talkin’ about the snags, I don’t know exactly where they'are, I ~must say.’ “Don’t know where the snags are!" said the b’oat—own‘er, in a-"tone of dis- gust; “then how do you expect to get a. position as pilot on this river?” “Well, sir,” said the Yankee, raising a pair of keen eyes from his whittling and meeting his questioner’s stern gaze with a whimsical smile. ‘I may not know just where the snags are, but you can depend upon me knowin' where they ain’t, and that’s where I calculate ‘to do my sailin’." Lboking for an Excuse. Deacon Hasbeen (laying down his paper)——“I have just been reading that alcohol will remove grass stains from the most delicate fabric.” Mrs. Hasbeen (severely)~—“There you go again, Jason, trying to find some excuse for .tippling! Just re- member that you have no grass stains inyou'r stomach.” MONEY our OF MI'SFORTUNE. " A irked-Em! Steamer Is a Great Prize to the \Vreckers. “sing to the high salvage money oLtained by rendering assistance to a disabled ship at sea, many steam-ers and sailing vessels carry on an irreg- ular sort of wrecking business by be- ing always on the alert for stranded ships. A tramp steamer that could bring a great transatlantic liner into port in a disabled condition would re- alize more money than its owner would make in a trip across the sea with a full cargo. As an illustration of what salvage money is paid for towing steamers into port, mention can be made of a few conspicuous cases. In 1882 the City of Richmond was towed into Halifax harbor and cost her own- ers $35,000 in salvage money. In the same winter the City of Boston broke her shaft at sea, and her owners were compelled to pay a bill for towing and other aid of $46,500. When the, At- lantic liner Paris broke down off the , Irish coast in 1890, she-was towed into port at an expense of $30,000. So rich are these prizes that the coast wrecking companies frequently send powerful tugs to sea just after a storm in search of disabled vessels. If a steamer is several days overdue, the tug may go hundreds of miles off the coast, and in this sense the compa- nies extend their labors into new fields practicing wrecking on the high seas. _ When the fast Atlantic liner, New York, made her first voyage'from the port of New York, she ran aground off Sandy Hook, and the owners had to pay nearly $100,000 to float her again. One of the Red D line steamers stuck on the Brigantine shoals ed New Jersey in 1889, and the wrecking company that pulled her off received $40,000 for their services. The more recent work. of floating the American line steam-er St. Paul from the sand ofi Long Branch recalls the difficulty of hauling one of the great transatlantic ,lin'ers off a sandb-ar or mudflat. Both the Chapman and Merritt Wrecking companies combined to float her, and the salvage money, amounting to about $100,000, was di- vided between them—George C. Walsh in Cassier’s Magazine. RAVISHING KLONDIKE WHOLESALE. A Dredge to Take Gold from the Hills and \Vater Courses of Alaska. , A stupendous scheme has been started for the wholesale ravishing of ing themselves of umbrellas, over- water courses of Alaska and the Northwest Territory. A company is building one of the great earth and mud-eating machines that convert tidelands into blocks of redeemed building lots, which «are familiar on the Pacific slope. An exceptional feature in the proposed dredger will be its power for self-propulsion and its extremely light draught. The power will be supplied to a stern wheel, as in light-draught river steamers. The dred-ger will be built at the mouth of the Yukon, whence she will start on her tour of investi- gation up the river, putting her long black beak into the sand and gravel of the bottom and doing a great deal of prospecting in very short order. When a rich streak is found, she will churn away with her centrifugal pumps and toss up the gravel and nuggets as well as dust and mud by the bushel. The enormous possibili- ties of the enterprise are seen when it is remembered that a day’s work in that region is 2,000 pounds per man, and the new machine is expected to do from four to five hundred times as much work ‘as one man daily.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. WAS NOT ASHAM ED. He Informed the Congregation that He Did the “Licking.” ' A San Francisco manufacturer has ad- vised his little son, not once but fifty times, to avoid contentions with oth- er children, but if a quarrel is forced upon him to defend himself at all hazn ards. The boy is a member of the Ply- mouth Congregational Sunday school, and it is the custom of the pastor of the church to give every child in the Sabbath school a nice little Bible on the Sunday following his seventh birthday. Last Sunday it ’was Master Kerr’s turn to receive a Bible, and when his name was called he marched forward with a black eye he had re- ceived in a fight with another urchin the day before. The pastor eyed the boy’s face narrowly and the whole con- gregation tittered. The little fellow flushed with embarrassment, burt ac- cepted the Bible as gracefully as pos- sible, listened to the few words of _ commendation and advice and started for his seat. The tittering was re- newed, and when half way down the. aisle the boy’s pent-up feelings could be restrained no longer. He resented the imputation conveyed, first by the pastor’s searching gaze and then by the congregation’s amusement, and, stopping in the aisle, he turned around and shouted: “Well, I licked him, anyway!”—San Francisco Post. Posters and Haudbills Not Modern. It is probably the general impres-' sion that posters and handbills are modern invention-s, but it has just been discovered that the ancient Ro- mans practiced this method of, adver- tising. In digging at Herculaneum there was brought to light a pillar covered with bills, one on top of an- other. The paste used to stick them was made of gum arabic. The bills, when separated and examined, were found to be programmes and announce- ments of public meetings, and even election proclamations.-—-l‘(eiv Tribune.

A gentleman who was born and raised in' New Orleans and _is now living in this city, de- clares that some of the most beautiful women he ever saw were of partly African descent. “Some years ago,” said he, “a young Northern man came to New Orleans to spend the winter. One night a party of us asked him .if he did not want to go to a ‘coon’ ball. He supposed we were out for a lark among colored people, and he agreed to go along. We were in evening dress and about midnight drove to a house in the French quarter, where we found a. ball in full blast. "We in- troduced our visitor: to a number of the guests of both sexes and be en- joyed himself hugely. After a couple of hours he declared that he had never seen so many lovely women together before. He said he was glad we had given up our project of going to a ‘coon’ ball, as he was satisfied-to re- main where he was. He was abso- lutely dumbfounded when told that every woman present-had an admix- ture of African blood in her veins, but it was true. Those women have a so- ciety distinctly their own, and mix with neither the whites nor blacks, yet nobody could know that they are not purely Caucasian. Some of them are brilliantly intellectual. Our north- ern friend fell in love with one of them he met at the ball and married her. Her friends in the north all think that she is a creole—Philadel- phia Press. PRESIDENTS’ NICKNAMES. They Are Always Expressive of the Char- acteristics of the Maui. The American people have a genius for nicknames. The sobriquets which they fasten to men in the public eye are often remarkable for the subtle shades of dislike, admiration, ridicule or affection which they express. The British soldier is content to refer to to the queen as “The Widdy.” The American people have done better by their Presidents. They have been lavish from the first in the bestowal of presidential nicknames, many of which have been both picturesque and imaginative. There have been many phrases ap- plied in one spirit or, another to our first President. Among them are “The Father of His Country,” “The Cin- cinnatus of the West,” “Flower of the Forest,” “Atlas of America.” “Ameri- cus Fabius.” and “Stepfather of. His ”Country.” To Speak of “Old Hickory” is almost as definite as to say Presi- dent Jackson, who was also known as “Big Knife,” “Hero of New Orleans,” “Gin’ral” and “The Old Hero.” Van Buren rejoiced in such names as “Whisky Van,” “King Martin First ” “Follower in the Footsteps” and “The Wizard of Kinderhook.” Lincoln was “Uncle Abe,” “Massa Linkum” and “Father Abraham.” Johnson, who was pitted against both houses, won the title “Sir Veto.”—Illustrated American. . 1 STAGE COACHES BY TROLLEY. This Conveyance is a. Free Lance with No Dependence on Tracks. .Stage coaches run by electric trol- ley power represent the latest idea of inventive genius in regard to the ap- plication of electricity to purposes of transportation. . At Greenwich, 001111., is now to be seen in operation a motor carriage running upon a highway pro— pelled by force taken from wires which are supported by poles along the side of the road. By an ingenious device the trolley, or rather a flexible metallic cable attached to the carriage is conducted along the circuit wire in such a way that two trolley vehicles may pass each other and each may turn round 0r pass from one side of the street to the other at the pleasure of the driver. Free from the bondage of a railway track and the tyranny of the despatcher and the switch-tender, the electric stage coach may .stop and start when it likes, calling for pas- sengers at their doors on either side of the road, and rolling merrily along the highway regardless of wind, snow or ice, its only limi- tations being the poles and wires which give it motion. Over the quarter of a. mile stretch already equipped it is declared that the heavy carriage can easily run in 45 seconds, which would mean the sufliciently rapid pace for a stage coach of thirty miles an hour. The trials are said to have been so successful that a. perma- nent line of considerable length will soon be operated—Boston Herald. His Purpose. “Why do you like to associate with Gland-ers so much? That fellow’s ev- erlasting babble would tire me to death.” “Well, I’ll tell you. Sometimes I get to thinking that I don’t» know very much, and then I want to get into his company. After listening to him for five minutes my respect for myself is always fully restored, and I am cheer- ful aga1n”—Cleveland Leader. ' Spoiled the Intention.

How Hot Weather Effects Great- Editors Described by the Sun. 'The New York Sun, Mr. Dana’s pa- Per, says that after describing Hawaii as “a rotten republic” and character- izing its people as an “abominable community," and its government as “a gang of crooked schemers” our com temporary, the New York Times, pro- ceeded yesterday morning to remark: “Over all this unspeakable nastiness we propose to unfurl the American flag. We take Hawaii into our Federal sis- terhood, and ought to wear the hue of shame and hang our heads in doing it, as might a man who should take into his home a wretched trollop of the streets.” Saturday, like Friday, was an un- commonly hot day. On Friday the Mugwump Evening Post came to the ‘melancholy conclusion that popular government had ceased to exist in this country; although later in the day it revised its threnody so far as to admit that popular government might yet be alive, although constitutional govern- ment was certainly dead. Saturday’s heat acted somewhat dif- ferent upon the cranium of the Times. We as a nation are all right, whatever the Evening Post might say to the con- trary, but the estimable inhabitants of the Hawaiian Islands and the re- spectable gentlemen who constitute the government of that little republic will appear to the Times’ superheated brains as things of “unspeakable nas- tiness.’ How much better it is that in news- paper ofi‘ices where intellect is at the mercy of the thermometer the ebulli- tion of the gray matter should manifest itself in such comparatively benign symptoms as in the Tribune establish- ment, which produced on the hottest of Saturdays for yesterday’s reading a masterly editorial article, showing that the finer qualities of human nature have not ent11 ely disappeared from earth, and containing this lovely pas- sage: “Not yet the age of chivalry is gone. Not yet, nor ever will be while human nature to itself holds true. The splen- dors of knight-errantry are past. The val/iant deeds that glorified the age of force are done; happyif not forgotten or discredited. Yet each revolving year, defying the dreary drivel of ma- terialism and rebuking the pale plane of Mugwump mediocrity, brings to the fore, some new, resplendent scene that shows how slight and puerile are storm and wreck and woe and death before the conquering greatness of the human soul.” There was nearly a column that read like a poem. How much better it is, we repeat, that the crisis should pass thus harmlessly, rather Ethan in melan- cholia or violence. A LIBERAL EMPLOYER. That Is What Uncle Sam Isvin the Matter of Vacations. The length of time allowed Uncle Sam’s servants for vacations with pay is prescribed in the Revised Statutes. Certain details, however, are left to the discretion of the executive. For in- stance, a recent order permitting gov- ernment clerks to leave their desks at 3 o’clock Saturdays in summer had to be passed upon by the President and cabinet. The law states that “all clerks and other employes” in the civil service of the executive departments are allbwed thirty days’ vacation and thirty days’ sick leave each year, with pay, and in usual cases of particular merit, sixty days’ sick leave with pay. What employer‘would' allow his clerks to remain absent oneofourth of the year, with pay? Army officers may spend thirty days a year away from their posts of duty, but this may be enjoyed not oftener than once in two years, when they may remain absent sixty days alto- gether. Many prefer to take their va- cations every three or four years, when they may stay away three or four months at a time, long enough to take an extensive trip abroad. The leaves of medical officers of the marine has- pital service are regulated just as are those in the army. Officials of our di- plomatic posts abroad are allowed six- ty days’ holiday each year, not includ- ing time required for the voyage to and . from this country, if they return home. Members of the legislative and judicial branches of the federal government, of course. suit themselves as to the dis- position of their time while their re- spective bodies are not in session. I l They are for the most part independ- ‘ ent in this respect, even while they are assembled. After all, Uncle Sam is the most liberal of employers, so far as vacations are concerned—Washington Star. E , A Heavy Hint.

In some of the western states and :rritorios they have sandstorms, says writer in the Outlook. The wind, ses, and the sand is bloWn in great . lantities and' with great swiftness. :metimes the sand buries small )1‘ses, as the snow does. It banks _) against buildings and buries cattle 1 the plains.' The cattle seem to tow when one of these storms is 2wing, and are terrified and very --‘1cult to control. Among the scouts 1 the westein plains is one who owns pony named Cita. When a man and pony live together for a long tinio ey becomegreat friends, and object 1 separation. Cita. had stumbled and (inn-ed one of her legs. Her master d to go out on an expedition, and :cided that he would ride another rse. He thought the journey too rd for Cita with her hurt leg. ‘ After the scout had been gone an‘ .our one of the sandstorms Came up. It night the wind went down and the noon. rose. The men sat sorrowfully .rouud the camp fire, when they‘wero atartled by the sound of a horse’s feet. the scout’s friend rode into camp, ex- hausted, and with face and hands bruised by the flying sand. He had worked his way out of the flying drift after the storm was over. The scout had been. blown from his pony. The last the friend saw of the man and pony were being blown before the wind. The party started to search for the scout. They discovered that Cita. had broken her halter and was gone. They followed her trail, and after many hours heard a. horse w-hinny. In the moonlight they discovered Ci-ta, reared on her hind legs, digging in a huge pile of sand with her fore feet. The men went to Work, and there, under his horse, which had pro- tected him, they found the scout, alive. FRENCH FUNERALS. Napoleon Created the Having but; One Undertaker for Paris. 7 Practically there is, or was, only one undertaker for the whole of the French capital and its suburbs. Dis— gusted with the abuses and unseemly scenes of his times, Napoleon I. con,- ferred the monopoly of burying the Parisians on one contractor, and the arrangements exist until the present day. _ It must not be thought, however, that the privilege was granted without very stringent conditions, which, as they stand, make a considerable in- road on the enormous profits of the monopolist. Funerals are divided in- to nine. classes, ranging from 7184 francs to 18 francs 75 centimes. The municipalgy allows the burial. company $1 per body interred. On the other hand, the company is bound to refund 56 per cent. of its gross ref ceipts, which sums are divided among the various religious communities. In addition, the company has to bury gratuitously every individual whose friends or relatives are unable, to de- fray the expense of any of the nine c1asses.——-Golden Days. .1 .a— MONUMENT OF BRICKS. Unique Building Owned by the United States Government. “Very few know it, but it is a fact,” explained a prominent builder to a washington Star reporter, “that the Pension Office building is the largest brick building in the world. It has been subjected to much criticism, but it can stand it, for as time passes along there are many things seen about it, that escaped notice when it was newer. In all, there are over 10,000,000 bricks in the building. Gen. Meigs took liberties with bricks that no other architect had ever at- tempted. He not only used bricks ex- clusively for the building, but he used them in constructing the stairs throughout the building. In the mat- ter of stair building bricks have often been used for the riser, but the step' has always been of iron, wood, slate In the Pension Office both riser and step are of brick. As a brick building, therefore, pure and simple, it is unique in construction, outside of the fact that it is the largest exclu- sively brick building in the world." 'L’fii'le ‘an'd Mitfnofin: ~ South American lovers have a pretty custom. It is well known that when the petals of the great laurel magnolia ' are touched, however lightly, the re- sult is a brown spot, which develops in. a. few hours. The fact is taken ad- vantage of by the lover, who pulls a. magnolia flour, and on one of its pure white-petals writes a motto or mes- sage with a hard, sharp pointed pen- cil. Then he sends the flower, the young lady puts it in a. vase of water. and in three or four ho we the message written on the leaf becomes visible. He—Tell me, Carrie, were you eVer in love before? She—To be frank with you, Harry, my heart never went out from me but once, and that was to my bicycle; but, Harry, I like you as well as it is p05- sible for me to like a man—Boston Transcript.
