or gloye marriage.
In spite of the fact that a distance
of 6,000 miles lay between the bride
In the Netherlands and the bridegroom
in the Transvaal they were just as ef
fectively married under the Dutch law
as If both bad been present In the
same church,
The bridegroom soul to his friend,
or best man, iu Amsterdam a power
of attorney to represent him as hla
proxy at the ceremony, and at the
same time forwarded his glove. Which
at the proper moment, when the two
were made one, watf held by both the
bride and the proxy. The wedding
was duly registered at Amsterdam
and a^ Pretoria, where the bridegroom

Thirsty? Use Belt to Get Drink.
When Oliver Herford comes in a
babbling brook and wants a drink, he
does not, throw himself prone on the
mud and try to get water on she
vacuum-cleaner principle adopted by
the cow. nor does he use his Panama
on ihe (fiinglia Dhin principle. He
might use a straw or a drinking cup. if
he could ever remerher to carry fftotn
with him. A hundred things hc'-mlght
do. If he could think of them.
But what really happens? Oliver
takes off bi*< belt ami-winds it up mm
tightly as he can. The colls are wrap
ped around one another so that a cone
is built up. That forms a cup with n
hole iu the bottom. Oliver uses a
tlijgPr as u stopper for the hole, and
proceeds to* <llp up his drink in the
fashion set long ago by the flr<t civ
ilized man.- Popular Science Monthly.
