In one part of the canton ot Ticino, Switzerland, a very quaint marriage ceremony prevails. The bridegroom dresses In his "Sunday best" and. ac companied by ws many friends and relativie as be can muster for the fete, goes to claim h!s bride. Finding the door locked, he demands admittanCe. The inmates ask him his business, and he solicits the hand of his chosen maiden. If his answer Is deemed sat isfactory he is successively Introduced to a number of matrons and maids, some perhaps deformed and others old and ugly. Then be is presented to E some large dolls, all of whom be re jects with scorn amid general merri ment. The bridegroom, whose temper is sometimes sorely tried, Is then in formed that his ladylove is absent and Is Invited to come In and see for himself. He enters and searches from room to room until be finds her in her bridal dress ready to go to church. Then all his anxiety is at an end. and the nuptials are duly celebrated. The Man Guessed Right. In a church at Amsterdam there is a very ancient funeral monument of white marble on which are engraved a pair of slippers of a very singular kind with this Inscription. "Efen Nyt." which means "exactly," and the story of this singularity is this: A man who was very rich, but who was a bon F vivant, took It into his head that he was to live a certain number of years and no longer. Under the impression = of this idea he calculated that if he I = spent so much a year his estate and his life would expire together. It bap pened that he was not mistaken In either of his calculations; he died pre F cisely at that time which he had pre sented to himself In fancy and had then brought his fortune to such a = predicament that after the paying of E his debts he had nothing left but a pair of slippers. His relations buried z him in a creditable manner and had E the slippers carved on his tomb with the above laconic advice.-Tales and Anecdotes. Ancient Roine's 'Libraries. The libraries of ancient Rome were immense and splendid. Lucullus, whose n'ame is associated with table = luxuries, expended much of his wealth = on books. His library, says Plutarch, E had "walks, galleries and cabinets open to all visitors." Julius Caesar proposed to open this library definitely to the public. How were these 'vast libraries, in = addition to the book shops, filled? E With his trained staff of readers and transcribers, a publisher could turn = out an edition of any work at very cheap rates, and almost at a moment's notice. There was no initial expense of .typesetting before a single copy = could be produced, no ruinous extras in the shape of printers' corrections. The manuscript came from .the au thor; the publisher handed It over to his slaves, and If a book of modest dimensions, the complete edition could E be ready, if neepssary, within twenty four hours. Actually, then, books were produced and sold more easily and quickly in ancient Rome than they are in modern London.-T. P.'s London = Weekly. The "Iliad" Not a Myth.

A jet of burning oxygen from a blowpipe may be successfully employ ed to cut sheet iron, iron tubes and small bars. The cut made is almost as sharp and thin as that made by a saw. In earlier attempts difficulty was encountered in clearing the cut of liquid metal and in preventing the spread of the melting effect beyond the borders of the euL In later processes two blowpipes were used. The first has an ordinary oxyhydrogen flame, which beats the iron to redness at the place where the cut Is to be made. This is followed Immediately by the second jet, composed of pure oxygen, which instantly burns the metal without melting. The liquidized iron is blown swiftly from the fissure, so that there is no serious spreading of the heat to surronnding parts.-St. Louis Republic. Two Days in One. Chatham island, lying off the coast of New Zealand, In the south Pacific ocean. Is peculiarly situated, as It is one of the few habitable points of the globe where the day of the week changes. it is just on the line of the demarcation between dates. There at 12 noon on Sunday Sunday ceases, and instantly Monday meridian begins. Sunday comes Into a man's house on the east side and becomes Monday by the time it passes out of the western door. A man sits down to his noon day dinner on Sunday, and it is Mon day noon before he finishes it.-Lon don Globe. Spanish Etiquette. There is a curious story of how the Duke d'Aosta when king of Spain told a muleteer to whom he was talk ng to cover himself; the sun being hot, forgetting that by so doing be made the muleteer a grandee. Mar shal Prim, to prevent this catastrophe, knocked the man's hat out of his hand, and, according to some, the mule teer had something to do with the as sassination that followed a few days afterward. A Great Advantage to Working Men. J. A. Maple, 125 S. 7th St., Steuben ville, 0., says: "For years I- suffered from weak kidneys and a severe bladder trouble. I learned of Foley Kidney Pills and their wonderful cures so I began taking them and sure enough I had as ood results as any I heard about. My backache left me and to one of my busi ness, expressman, that alone is a great advantage. My kidneys acted free and normal, and that saved me a lot of mis ery. It is now a pleasure to work where it used to be a misery. Foley Kidney Pills have cured me and have my high est oraise." Dickson's Drug Store. .3;ersiA Paper. 4 surveyor when inspecting one of the cottages under his care had his attention called by the tenant to a large diagonal crack in one of the walls, close to which they were stand ing, with the remark, from Mr's. Hodge, "I am afraid. sir, as the old house be a-coming down, sir." "We will see to this," said the agent, and, taking from his pocket a few strips of stamp edging, he pasted them transversely over the fissure so that he might on his next visit see whether the crack had estended and whether It was a settlement or not. On his calling about a month after ward he found the pieces of stamp edging still remaining unbroken and. pointing out to the old lady that the crack had not opened any farther, was amused with this unhesitating remark: "Yes, sir, but who'd ha' thought as two or three such bIts of paper would ha' held un together?' London Answers. - Quick Action. A. southern farmer was trying to sell a mule to a negro who two years be fore had been kicked on the head by the animai. "Of course." said the farmer, "this mule kicks. but" "I don' wan' him," objected the col ored ma.a emphatically. "Just because he kicks?" asked the farmer, with an air of contempt.. "Humph!l" grunted the negro. --Dat mule don' kick; he shoots."-Po~pulatr Magazine. ________ A Witty Thief. Munich has been visited by a thief with a sense of humor. Several days ago all the clocks in the ministry of railways came to a standstill. The central or "master clock," which con 'trols all the others, had been stolen. In Its place was a sheet of paper with the words, "Time was made for slaves." Makintg a Hero. A nourishing supper, a good night's sleep and a fin, morning have often made a hero of the same man who by indigestion, a restless night and a rainy morning would have proved a coward..-Chesterfield.
