The'’tmlding of a railroad througfe
the Black Mountains, In Arkansas, ex-*

Yeara ago when all traveling was
done by stage coach or prlvate cor^ejr^

New 1- natures In Weddings. ,
There are fashions in weddings as in
dress. Some years ago vthat was sup
posed to be the Euglisn style was intro
duced. The peculiarity of this style
lies in the absence of >jo*^Mmnads, the
presence ef a best man and substitu
tion of ushers for groomsmen. The
best man follows the groom from the
vestry and holds the,groom's hat during
the efijeemony. But, after all, this
does not seem to be the genuine Eng
lish style. It is rather a sort of com
promise for mild Angio-maniacs,
between the British and the Anier.cau
method. The true, through and
through English style requires, be
sides a best man and ushers, that the
bride shall walk up the aisle ungloved,
holding a. family prayer book. As the
Anglo-maniao is an imitation, an
imitation prayer nook will do for jadies
whose families don’t use apr&jrer book.
An Innovation in weddings which has,
however, nothing especial to do with
the English or American style, is to
strew the middle aisle of the church
with autumn leaves. This phetoresque
feature was Introduced at a recent wed
ding In New Jersey, the mailing leaves
accompanying the soft wedding music
as the hndai party approached the
altar. But the most startling novelty
w as leceiitly tried at a weddii g m
Sing Sing. As a rival to the groom’s
best man, the bride hi d a “best girl.”
The “best girl” solves the problem
what to do with the best man after me
ceremony, as he has the bust girl to
escort down the aisle. For this reason
the new feature may become popqlar,
it is now not uncommon to have'youug
costume to
attend at the altar during theceremo-

of the scared fishermen, who said that
if he bad headed for the ocean they
would have cut the rops aud let him

fishermen, thinking the finny visitor

were enabled to pull the monster near

i your cigar bill or wine bill, your wife
Will take you for a fair sort of growler
after "
among your chums as a
iberal sort of a fellow who
money hka zu^rtace, and when
y<5ur wife asks you now aud then for
some extra home comfort tell her
houestly you can’t afford it.
When your wife gives you a gentle
hint that she needs a new bonnet or
dress, be as deaf as a door-post. When
you taae her out in public be sure to
ask why it is that other meu’s wives are
so much better dressed than, she is.
Try to forget as soon as possible after
marriage that your wife left her mother
aud her sisters mid her cousins and her
aunts to go through the world with
you. Leave her aloue as much as
possible and if she complains tell her
women are intended to mind the house
anyway.
_ ,’t tolerate fancy work in the
hbMe. You iinist have had enough of
that iu the days when you would 1 hold
yarn by the hour for your sweetheart to
wind. Yqu pretended to-be interested
m all sorts of worstefl work and-patch-
wofk in those days, but you |eedn’t
hesitate about telling the truth now.
Be sure to go to the opera house for
every entertuSumeut tliat comes along.
It will brighten you up and counteract
the strain of business on your nerves.
Don’t be foolish or extravagent enough
to take your wife with you; her place is
to woik hard all day and mend the
children’s clothing in the evening.
Try to forget as soon as possible the
folly of your love-making days. You
thought theu an umbrella or a fan was
too much of a weight for your angel to
carry. Don’t let it distuib you now if
you see her trying to lug a scuttle ot
coal upstairs.
Never reflect how many annoy ances
and petty vexations your wife may meet
during tne day in the care of her house
hold ami ot her children. When you
go home don’t kiss her to brighten her
up as you used to, but ask her what In
thunder she looks so ulue about.
If it happens to be a stormy evening
and you don’t care to go out, hide your
self behind your uewsiiaper and get so
interested iu the political portion of it
that ypu can’t hear the oivilest question
your w ife may ask. It the chiklreu’s
play aunoyes you, make the young imps
clear off to bed.
Once you are married resolve to be
rich. Work without ceasing; don’t
take half time to eat your meals; plan
during the night what you’ll do on the
morrow, screw dowu expenses to the
lowest notch; don’t give your nerves or
brain any rest. Before long your wife
will have a cross-grained dyspeptic on
her hands whom nothing ou earth will
please.
Don’t think It worth while to re
member tliat once the love of a true,
whole sou ted woman has l>een given to
you it is worth treasuring up and keep
ing to the eud of your life. Having
won ber heart, treat it as a toy of
which you soon glow tired. Look on
A woman to support, a handy
_ , _ *» P * domestic sonvenience,
but fail to recognize in her the woman
who left all to follow you, and who is
willing to worship you still if you will
ouly let her.
Don’t stop to think that your wife
may have been a father’s pet and a
mother’s darling, aocOslotewl to have
her way of things all her long life. If
sometimes, the cares of housekeeping
puzzle her; aud things go wrong in
spite of her aud she is inclined to get
discouraged, make up your m.nd at
once that you have married the wrong
one, that she doesn’t love you at ah,
J ump at some rash conclusion
once, and don’t listen to the reason
ing of your heart tliat the girl-wife
have married is worth her weight
gold, and will gradually develop iutu
one of the best and noblest women on
earth.
FUt these rules Into practice and If
you don’t havea nervous, cross-grained,
scolding, fretful, Ill-tempered, reckless,
desperate, sort of a wife it wouldn’t be
your fault.

At the Gentleman’s driving piffk,

other owners of fast horses speed their
teams, I came across a man who found
delight in something that had never
struck me. Vanderbilt was urging his

time since he was overturn -d in the
sport by a collision. The gait was a
slashing one, and I asked a spectator,
who had timed a mile of it, how swift
it was.
