‘ DR.‘TALMAGE MARRIED.

 

The Celelnated Preacher Weds Mrs.

Charles Collier at Pittsburg, P11.

Pittsburg, Jan. 24.—The Rev.
Witt Talmage, the noted divine of
Washington and formerly of Brooklyn,
and Mrs. Elmora McCutcheon- Collier

' of Allegheny City, were married Sat-

urday at the M cCutcheon residence, 47
Irwin avenue. The ceremony was per-
formed by the Itev. W. J. Robinson,
D. D., pastor of the Fiist United Pres-
byterian Church.

The wedding which came as a great
surprise to the many friends of the
couple, was, on account of a recent
death in the family, an extremely quiet
affair. The only guests outside of
Mrs. Talmage’s immediate relatives

REV. T. DE ’WITT TALMAGE.

was Dr. L. H. Willard, who was mak-
ing a professional visit to the house
and remained to witness the ceremony.

The biide was arrayed in a gorgeous
green brocaded silk gown, with cor-
sage, and wore diamonds. The gown
matched her fine olive complexion to
perfection. The Rev. Dr. Talmage was
attired in the customary clerical garb.
He seemed as full of spirits and buoy-
ancy as a youth of twenty, despite his
sixty-six years of active life.

Mrs. Talmage is the daughter of the
late James M. McCutcheon. She was
the widow of Charles W. Collier, only

son of Judge F. H. Collier. She is 40
years of age.

Mi. and Mrs. Talmage met during the
past two summers at Easthampton,
L. I., where the courtship which cul-
minated five months ago in a formal

engagement began The engagement
was kept a profound secret and it was
only within the past few days that
Mrs. Talmage told her most intimate
friends of the coming marriage. The
present Mrs. Talmage is the reverend
gentleman’s third wife, his second hav-
ing died several years ago.

' A SKYSCRAPER IN’JAPAN.
the First Structure Over Three Stories
High Ever Erector! on'the Orient.
Plans have been drawn. and specifi—
cations written for the first meal sky-
scraper in Japan. _ It is to be erected
in Tokio near the residence of the
present American Minister to Japan.
The work was awarded to W. J.
Bond, an architect of South Dakota,
who, immediately upon receiving the
contract, packed up his goods'and de-
parted for the Land of the Rising Sun
to carry it out.

In a land of seismic disturbances like ..

Japan, where simoons. earthquakes,
and tornadoes are common occurrenc-

_ as, at certain seasons of the year, it has

never been thought practical to erect
a. tall building. The one or two story
house of straw,‘ or earth, or of wood
was considered the best architectuial
feat that could be accomplished
This new building will be supplied
with steam engines, electric generators,
steam boilers, electric wires, steam
heat, pumps, drums, water supply.
and elevators.
' This building will be the first struc-
ture over three stories high that has
ever been erected in the Orient. Years
ago, when the market for Japanese
ware opened in the United States, an
attempt was made by English capital-
ist-s to put up an office building which
should be the center of commerce.
Scarcely had the foundation walls been
set up, though, before a Japanese
“shake” came and it cracked from top
to bottom, showing what would be the
fate of a building put up on such a

foundation.

This new building, to guard against
that trouble, will have a structure of

steel laid upon a solid stone
foundation. This steel framework
'will be carried up to the full
height of the building. The

floors will be laid upon it so that the
entire s‘upp01t will be of the steel.

In the top of this new building the
Japanese weather bureau will be loca-
ted. This weather bureau is‘thc finest
in the world. For years it has fore-
casted storms so accurately that it has
served as a sole guide of the shipping
ports of Japan. But the bureau has
worked under disadvantages. It has
been obliged to take its observations
from steeples, from the masts of
steamers, and from the kites of fisher-
men. At a certain height a kite will
show an adverse current of wind, and
the weather prophets of Japan have
often been forced to this rude method
of obtaining overhead information.

The prices to be charged for the of-,

fices seem too small to be believed. A
dollar a week will pay for a nice one,
and you will be able to get des‘ 1 room
for $1 a month. A whole flow will be
rented for a small sum, and probably
the whole building could be leased for
what you would pay for a single office
in this city. But in the estimate of
profits you must remember that land
rent is almost nothing at all, and that

the labor to run the building can be'

obtained for 5 cents a day of Ameri-
can money. So there is profit in it,
after all.—‘-Chicago Inter-Ocean.

 

VOLUBILITY PAYS.

Eminent Enrtllsh Physician Says It Con-
duces to Longevity.

Talk as much as you can. This is
the theOIy of an eminent English doc-
tor, because talking is the best possible
way in u hich to exercise the lungs.

The man who talks much, the little
child who shouts all day in glee over
trivial amusements,the‘ young woman

song-bird who makes herself obnoxious
to the othel tenants of a flat house, the

fat man who laughs vociferously un-
til his sides tlcmble, the maid who
sighs and the woman who weeps as if
her heart would bleak, the bored indi-
vidual who yawns in church when
the sermon is dull, all do so in
response to an inward demand for the
expulsion of a certain uer=vo 1S enelgy

' which would find vent in no other way.

Talking is not only good exercise for
the mind, but for the body as well. In
fact, persons who do much talking in
their business or profession, such as
lawyers, and auctioneers can dispense
with other exercise. For in talking
they not only expend much neuro mus-
cular energy, but they experience act-
There-

ive respiratory movements.

fore. much talking is conducive to
longevity. It is also beneficial in heart -.
disease.

Curious Cotillion Favors.

Some curious favors were used in a
cotilliou at a recent swell affair] in
Loudon——the presentation of live pets
to the dancers. These comprised ca-
naries in gilded cages, maltese and An-
gora cats in silk—lined baskets, and al-
so tiny terriers in small wicker recep-
tacles. These were given to the wo-
men while the men received jointed
fishing l()(lS tied with satin ribbons, X-
ray skeletons. celluloid skulls, small
cameras, and shaving mirrors.

 

levmd Kipling's Advice.

A New Zealand author recently ap-
plied to Mr. Kipling for advice, and re-
ceived the following note, which, he
says, he considered “encouragingz”
"No man‘s advice is of the least bene—
fit in our business (and I am a very
busy man). Keep on trying till you
either fail or succeed."

 

Richard Harding Davis, accurding to
the Philadelphia North American, was
employed or. a local paper in a repor-
torial capacity some years ago. One
day an extremely fresh young, man
joined the staff, and in three dayshe
was addressing every man on the staff
by his first name. That is, everybddy
but Davis. He entered the local room
one afternoon where Davis was seated,
and, slapping him familiarly on the
shoulder. said: “Hello ”Davis! Say,
what is your'first name, anyhow?"
“Mister,” replied Davis, quietly.

 

.A Complete Mantifactory Found Among
the Ruins of Pompeii.

The-first distinct mention of soap
now extant is by Pliny, who Speaks of
it as an invention of the Gauls; but
be that as it may, the use of soap for
washing purpose: is of- great antiquity.
In the ruins of Pompeii a. complete
soap manufactory was folmd, and the
utensils and some soap were in a toler-
able state of preservation. The Gallic
soap of eighteen centuries ago was
prepared from fat and wood ashes, par-
ticularly-the ashes from beechwood,
which wood was very common in
France as well as in England. Soap is
spoken of by writers from the second
century, but the Saracens were the
first people to bring it into general use
as an external cleansing medium. The
use of soap is thus described: “When
examined chemically the skin is found
to be composed of a substance analo-
gous to dried white of egg, in a word
albumen. ‘ Now, albumen is soluble in
the alkalies, and When soap is used for
washing the skin the excess of alkali
combines with the oily fluid with
which the skin is naturally bedewed,
removes it in the form of an emulsiOn,
and with it a portion of the dirt. An-
other portlon of the alkali softens and
dissolves the superficial stratum of the
skin, and when this is rubbed off the
rest of the dirt disappears. So that
every washing of the skin with soap
removes the old ~face of the skin and
leaves anew one, and where the pro-
cess repeated to excess the latter would
become attenuated. —Philadelphia Led4
ger.

OL.D METHODS ARE BEST.

The Englishman Doesn’t Take to Station-
ary Bath Tubs.

It is remarkable how many incon-
venience-s and old-fashioned methods
that are obsolete in America the peo-
ple of England will put up with. Take
the item of bath-rooms, for instance.
In the modern hotels, says the Chica~
go Record,which draw most of their pa-
tronage from American tourists and the
upper classes of English society, suites
of rooms are now to be found, and even
single apartments, with bath-rooms
attached. But the average English-
man and his family still insist upon
patronizing the old—fashioned inns that
are not supplied with running water
and have tubs of tin brought to their
rooms every morning, with buckets of
1101 and cold water, so that they may
take a bath. They prefer this method.
It is what they are accustomed to, and
it is as difficult to persuade an English-
man to change his habits as a leopard
to change his spots. At the leading ho-
tel in Manchester, a modern building
erected within the last few fears, there
is a modern bathroom on every floor,
but the majority of the guests prefer
to have tin. tubs brought to their
rooms. The charge for all the trouble
they thus entail upon the chambermaid
is only Sixpence for a bath in a station-
ary tub. In very few modern residences
and in none of the old ones is running
water to :be found. There is a preju4
dice against it.

 

 

Not Up inNautical Lore.

At sea, as many people know, time,
instead of being reckoned by hours, is
divided into watches of four
hours each. From 4 o’clock to 6, and
6 o’clock to 8, there are half divisions,
nautically teimed dog watches. In an
insurance case the counsel asked an
old sailOI what time of day a certain
collision occuri ed, and received the re-
ply:

“About the middle of the first dog

In summing up the case the barris-

Island That is a Big Magnet.

One of the most dangerous places in
all the seas, says the Chicago Record
is near the coast of Denmark. wheeze
there is a little island that goes by the.
name of Bornholm. The seas do not
run unusually high abOut it, nor are
the currents strong, but wh‘n the mar-

 

compass begins to act in the Stl‘izllgc‘st
and most unaccountable manner. in—
stead of pointing north. it switr‘me
around and points tollcrnltolm so
that if’it happens to be dark and
stormy the pilot may guide his slii‘;
straight on the rocks, thinking that he
is making due north. This strange

HOW BAILEY BEAT, BARNUM."

. A 11d 'l'lmt at the Veteran Showman’s pwn

' Game, Advertising.
one of the elephants with the Bar-
num- -Bailey circus was the _means of
making the fmtune that Mr. Bailey is
c1edited with possessing. It was as a
baby phenomenon that pachyderm did
the good turn for the successor of “The

_ Great and Only Barnum."

It was away backin 1880, when the
news got around that the first elephant
born in captivity was living and trav-
eling’with the Bailey show. Mr. Bai-
ley was a struggling young circus own-
er theu, battling against fearful odds.
Barnum was at the height of his re-
markable career—at the very topmost
notch of circus fame.

Mr. Barnum, quick to see the advan-
tage of having so important an at-

traction as a real American baby ele-.
pliant, telegraphed to Mr.

Bailey as
follows:

“Will give you $100,000 for your baby
elephant. Must have it.” '

Mr. Bailey wired in answer:
not sell at any price.”

This seemed a daring thing for Mr.
Bailey to do, for $100,000 would almost
have purchased the entire show. Even
Mr Bailey' 5 best friends, whom be con-
sulted in the matte-,r advised him to
accept the offer. Instead of doing that
he refused it and hustled East with his
circus to meet Barnum on his own
ground.

By the time that the Bailey cilcus
reached the East the whole country
was billed with posters on which was

“Will

printed “What Barnum Thinks of the
Baby Elephant." Underneath that
heading was printed Barnum’s tele-

gram to Mr. Bailey. As the Bailey
show followed in the wake of the Bar-
num circus'each town in which the
Barnum aggregation appeared was bill-
ed with the Bailey posters.

Probably the Bailey advertising did
not affect the attendance at the Bar-
num circus. But the advertisements

staring the veteran showman in the

face everywhere he went worried him,
and finally, to dodge the huge pos.ers.
he changed the route of his circus, al-
though that route -had been determined
upon nearly twelve months in advance.
He jumped from New York to Kansas
City and surrendered the whole East-
ern field to the Bailey show. The next
year the two shows were consolidated,
and have been one show ever since. Mr.
Barnum's one joke with Mr. Bailey as
long as the shrewd old circus manager
was alive was, “Well; have you any
more baby elephants that you do not
want to sell?”——New York Press.

Too” MUCH ELOQUENCE.

Mark Twain’s Sympathy Fluctuated anzl
in the End the Preacher Lost.

In an interview with Mark Twain
the followingamusing story was elicited
It seems that Twain once went to
hear a missionary lecturer who had
worked among the poor. The speaker
was eloquent. He drew a picture of a
starving family that drew tears from
his audience, and Mark Twain. who
happened to have four 100,-dollar bills
with him, said to himself, "‘I’ll'give one
of those bills when the plate comes
round.”

The preacher continued, his story
became more _piteous and harrvm ing
and Mark Twain said, “I’ll spare two
of those bills.”

But still the tale of woe went on,
Ithe agony accumulating and accumu-
lating, until Mark Twain exclaimed,
“For goodness sake send that plate
round, so that I can pour my sym-
pathy into it. I’ll give all four bills,
and I’ll write 'a, cheque too.”

But the lecturer rather overdid it.

“He went on talking and talking,”
said Mark Twain, as he told the story,
“and as he talked my enthusiasm
calmed and calmed, and the red flush
of my sympathy became paler and
paler. And when he had been talk-
ing about half an hour I had saved
one of those bills, and when he had
talked five minutes inore two of those
bills were mine again, and when he
had been talking anhour I had won
all four back, and, 'by gosh, when he
finally did send that plate round I bor-
rowed ten cents out of it to'pay my car
fare home.”

SPANISH SOLDIERS IN CUBA.

Mostly Plowboys Conscripted and Sent 1;:
\Vm- \Vithout Any Training.

Many newspaper writers have re:
marked on the youthfulness and ap-
parent stupidity of the regulars in
Cuba. I suppose 75 per cent. of them
are under tWenty- -one and 95 per cent
are under twenty-five, says a. writei
in The Arena. They are mostly plow-
boys, freshly caught by the conscrip-
tion, and shipped across the seas with-
out any training or drill whatever.
Spain has kept her older troops at
home to protect herself against the
Carlists and the Republicans, who are
supposed to be plotting against the
Government.

These boys are set down far frOm
home, in a strange land, where yel
low fever and smallpox prevail by
turns the year round. They are treat
ed with the greatest brutality by their
officers robbed by the commissaries
insufficiently clothed and fed, shot

. down from ambush by enemies Whom

they cannot see and cannot catch, and
are paid irregularly or not at all. Can
such soldiers be expected to prove efi
cient?

I have seen a whole company Crying
like children because one of their num-
ber had received a letter from home,
and the rest were homesick.
seen a Major General in the Spanish
Army lash a private Over his face and

_ head With a whip, because the man did

not notice his approach and failed to
salute him quickly enough. I have
seen half a dozen of, these soldier:
scrambling on the floor of a coffee
house for a few coppers contemptuous
1y thrown to them by an American cor-

EARLY REFRIGERATION.

Different Methods Given of the Early
Manner of Freezing.

The most ancient method of making
ice is practiced in India. Holes are
made in the ground, dry straw is put
at the bottom of these, and on it, at
the close of the day, are placed pans of
water wh hich are left until the next
morning, when the ice that is found
within the pans is cOllected. This in-
dustry is carried on only in districts
where the ground is dry and will read-
ily absorb the vapor given off from the
water in the.- pans. The freezing, of
course, is due to the great amount of

“heat absorbed by the vapor in passing

from its liquid to its gaseous form.
Another process was practiced in the
day of ancient Rome, . when the
wealthy are said to have had their
wines cooled by having the bottles
placed in water into which saltpeter
was thrown, the bottles being the whlle
rotated. .
Dr._ Cullen. in 1755, discovered that
the evaporation of water could be fa-
cilitated by the removal of the pressure
of atmosphere, and that by doing this,
water could be frozen. Nairn,
discovered that sulphuric acid would
absorb the vapor of water if placed in
a second vessel separate from that ($011-

it. This discovery he put to use in

1810 by constructing an apparatus for '

absorbing the vapor of the water that
This
apparatus greatly facilitated the freez-
ing operations of a vacuum freezing
machine—Cassier‘s Magazine.
