There were about one hundred ; - " - guests present to enjoy the festivities of the occasion and the splendid supper. j The ceremony took place on the piazza, which was tastefully decorated, where all m'ght witness it. The wedding march ] > was played by Miss Gearldine Carlton, of k r Allendale, and the ceremony was per- , formed by Rev. J. D. Huggins. . -v The young couple start out together ; with the hearty good wishes of their ; ; v friends, and these, judging from the 1 .y numerous bridal presents, are liberal 1 both as to numbers and generosity. ? 1 Now a Member of Heavenly Choir. , The announcement of the death of Miss </ Isabelle Cooner, at the home of her sister ( in Charleston on Wednesday last, caused mnr.h Pennine sorrow in Edgefield, she I i r haying frequently visited her aunt, Mrs. i Mary J.

That Sleeping Car Hammock. ' ' _ - _ _ 4 Patrick O'Connor and Denis Boyle ' were traveling in a sleeping car. It was . a brand-new experience for Denis and fraught with much interest and not a few qualms, but Patrick, having once before spent a night in a sleeping-car berth, felt himself a seasoned traveller and as such ' patronized Denis. When the time for retiring came Patrick stowed himself away in the upper berth, leaving the 1 lower berth for Denis. There was much struggling and sighing from behind the curtains of the lower ( > berth. "How ye gittin' on, Denis?" called i down Pat. i "Sure I'm all right," replied Dennis. * But still the disturbance went on. ( "Most ready for slape, Denis?" said 1 Patrick. "All right!

Tier Are, It la laid, Leas Acuta Than Those of Men. The man, when his tooth was pulled, yelled hoarsely. The next patient, a woman, bore the pain of three extractions with silent fortitude. "Yes," said the dentist, "women endure the pangs of tooth pulling better than men, but they deserve no praise on this account. They feel the pain less. Experiments have frequently oeen made to test the acuteness of the aasculine and feminine senses. A series of experiments were made in New York city, and they were interesting and conclusive. "First, taste was tried. The male subjects could detect in water the presence of the sixtieth part of a grain of gall. The women couldn't distinguish the gall in a smaller quantity than the twentieth of a grain. The men's taste was three times keener than the women's. "Next, smell. The men smelled the presence of the hundredth part of a grain of prussic acid. The women were unconscious of the acid till a quantity five times greater was set before them. In smell the men were five t-nies the women's superiors. "Men heard a watch ticking at a distance of ten yards; women could only hear it at a distance of two yards. The males again, you see, were five times the better. It was the same thing with sight and with touch. The men saw five times better. They felt five times more keenly and delicately. "These experiments explain In a way the apparent anomaly of woman's wondrous fortitude to pain. Woman's senses being less acute, she is less affected by pain than man."?Exchange. THE OYSTER. It Wat Eaten Dy Kiparmn .unn Iiiua andi of Years Ago. It was Dean Swift who remarked that "he was a bold man that first ate an oyster," but neither Dean Swift nor any other lover of good eating has been able to find records of any time, however ancient, when oysters were not eaten, while there is ample proof that thousands of years ago riparian man Dot only consumed these bivalves, but was very fond of them. Thus the "kjoekkenmoeddinger" or "kitchen refuse" along the Scandinavian coasts exhibits huge hills of oyster shells from which prehistoric men ate this succulent mollusk at their feasts in the days Df Thor and Odin. There is, of course, in interesting tradition which relates [low, in those prehistoric days a man clad in the skins of wild beasts ran barefooted along the shore of the sea. Suddenly he caught his foot in an oyster shell, which, as it instantly closed upon him, caused him so much pain that he seized a stone to dislodge the strange foe that clung to him so tenaciously. After accomplishing his purpose he raised his hand, moist with the juice of the oyster, to his lips, with results that were so pleasing to his palate that he promptly proceeded to eat the entire bivalve. Thus, it is said, did man first discover the gustatory de lights contained within an oyster snen. The Stomach Ache. For genuine stomach ache?that is, )ain in the true stomach?you must Dlame the digestion. If the pain often )ccurs one may be sure that a serious state of chronic indigestion obtains, rhen of course it is very necessary to :ake advice directed to that one case. But for a solitary attack there is nothng better than getting rid of the stomich contents. They cannot possibly do food and may greatly upset the sys:em.

The Adirondack Lakes. One of the most striking phenomena >f the Adirondack region is the carryng power of the human voice in still veather upon the lakes great and small.

Strohschneider, the famous aeronaut, astonished the natives of Stockerau, near Vienna, by carrying a young barrister on his back along a tight rope . I eighty meters in length fixed to the | j church steeple. A few days later flamj lug posters appeared on the walls anI nouncing that Strohschneider would effect a balloon ascent in the company of Herr Pramper, the popular landlord of the White Rose. Notwithstanding the fact that the police had forbidden the landlord, who J has a large family, from taking part in J the performance mine host entered the i inclosure at the appointed time, to the j no small delight of the assembled multitude. At a given signal the balloon rose in the air, Strohschneider and the landlord sitting on the trapeze beneath. Some of the spectators declare that the latter turned as pale as a sheet during his upward flight, though he did not fail to wave his hat to the crowd. After reaching a dizzy height the two balloonists were observed to quarrel and actually came to blows. All at once the landlord plunged headlong into space. A shout of horror arose from the spectators. who ran to the spot where they expected to find Pramper lying with broken limbs. What was their astonishment at discovering not a corpse, ' Knf o Inr fl cm no /I t*acc/v1 in Ann UUi ti ia^ uitoctu ha vuv vi mv landlord's suits. The manikin was conveyed to Stockerau in triumph. The British Anthem. The whirligig of time has brought changes of its own into the British na-. tional anthem. In 1745 it began: God save great George, our king! The king's name whs again inserted in that second verse, which has been used as an argument to prove that the words were written by Ben Jonson as early as H107 to celebrate King James I.'s escape from the gunpowder plot: Confound their politics, Frustrate their knavish tricks; On George our hopes we fixGod save the king! The change to the present form is: On thee our hopes we fix, yrhere deity has been substituted for majesty. There is another rendering, which the exigencies of the times no longer demand: Oh, grant that Marshal "Wade May by thy mighty aid Victory bring!' May he sedition hush And like a torrent rush Rebellious Scots to crush; * God save the king! ?London Qu?en. Why Not?
