Kcal A signal instance of courage and quickness of thought, which undoubted ly saved the life of a little chlid, occur red in Cambridge on Friday evening. Shortly before 7 p. in. a Tremont House electric car was passing along ! Main street at a very rapid rate. Near i Windsor street a little girl, apparently about 3 years of age, ran from the side walk toward the track. The motorman quickly shut off the current and put on the brake. Then the child paused, and the motorman released the car. Just as the car had regained its mo mentum the child, through some strange impulse, darted forward to cross the track. The motorman was almost breathless with horror. There was no time to stop the car, and the toddling infant seemed doomed. Suddenly a tall, athletic young man sprang from his seat at the end of the front row, aud grasping the curved han dle on the dasher of the car with his right hand swung himself out on the fender. Just as the car was about to crush the little girl under its wheels he seized her firmly by the waist. It was a trying moment to the nerves of the passengers and motorman. It seemed for an instant as if both man and child would fail in front of the fender. But by an almost convulsive effort the rescuer lifted the little girl from the track and laid her on her back at one side out of the reach of the wheels. So great was the strain upon him that as soon as the child was released he him self fell forward on the fender, and only an unusual degree of agility en abled him to scramble up ou his knees and back to his seat in the car. The whole thing was done iu an in stant. The motorman, pale with fright, was only able to look his thanks. The hero of the affair was the most TURF TOPICS. composed person on the car.

A marriage in church was rare, writes Alice Morse Earle in The Ladies’ Home Journal, in an article on “ Courtship and Marriage In Puritan Days. ” Occa sionally one took place in the new homo of the young couple. This was held to be somewhat unlucky. Thanksgiving day was a favorite time to choose to be married, as friends were then gathered from afar. The bride was universally advised to w ear S om ething old, so m eth in g new. S om ething borrow ed, som ething blue, and though she could dress before a mirror she must not look in the glass when once her toilet was completed, else ill luck, in vaguely defined but positive form, were the result. Sunday was really the exhibition day for the bride. Indeed 6he found at meeting the sole place iu which she could appear be fore an assembled public, aud for this exhibition the happy pair donned their finest bridal attire. The bride and groom and bridal party opened the show by proudly walking in a little procession through the narrow streets to the meet ing house on the Sabbath following the marriage. In Larned's “ History of Windham County, Conn.,” we read a description of such an amusing scene in Brooklyn, Conn. Further public notice was drawn to the bride by allowing her to choose the text for the sermon preached oa the first Sunday of the coming out of the newly married couple. Much ingenuity was exercised in finding appropriate and sometimes startling Bible texts for these wedding sermons. The instances are well known of the marriage of Parson Smith’s two daugh ters, one of whom selected the text, “ Mary hath chosen that good part,” while the daughter Abby, who married John Adams, decided upon the text, “ John came neither eating nor drink ing, and they say he hath a devil. ” T h e D ress o f a R o y a l B rid e. It is only outside of Russia that it is possible to publish certain details of the splendid fetes attending the marriage of the czar’s daughter. It is contraband to print in Russian newspapers the fact that at the wedding ceremony the em press of Russia was dressed in blue moire antique thickly embroidered with silver. Her majesty’s jewels were sap phires and diamonds. The dress of the bride was entirely of silver cloth, with a train of orimsou velvet bordered with ermine. Ou her head was a large dia mond tiara, behind which was a bridal wreath, and then on top of the head was the small diamond crown worn by all imperial brides at their weddings. Some time ago all the newspapers iu Russia received an order forbidding in future any reference to the dresses worn by the empress ou state and public oc casions. This was done in consequence of the Russian newspapers having in correctly described her majesty as wear ing a dress which at the time was alto gether out of fashion.— London Letter. $100 Reward, $100.

A good smoker has a strong draft— strong enough to blow the smoke clear across the hive aud down between the frames to the bottom of the hive if needed. It is often necessary to blow the smoke down between the frames, especially when you want to drive the bees out of an upper story. A good smoker has a lively spring, one that contracts and enlarges quickly. A coiled spring is good. The leather on a smoker should not be too heavy, but soft and spongy. Do not purchase too small a smoker. A writer iu The Farmets’ Advocate thinks it pays to use the smoker every time one opens a hive, although he is careful not to overdose the bees with smoke. He says: “ I go to a hive that I want to look into and take off the cov er, then start to raise the quilt at one corner. As I continue to take it off I gently puff iu a little smoke just to let them know I am around. As a rule, scarcely a bee w ill take wing. They sit quietly on their combs until I am through looking at them. If I happen to let a comb slip or jar against the hive, I w ill be apt to need the smoker again. Iu the above I am supposing that they are Italians, the only kind I keep. If the bees are blacks, they w ill he more irritable.” As regards the fuel to he used in the smoker, the correspondent quoted employs dry planer shavings, not those from a large planer used in dressing lumber— those are too coarse— but those from a buzz planer or molding machine are just right. Put a few in the bottom of the smoker, then light a match and throw it on them, and after the shav ings get agoing commence working the bellows and get the shavings to become thoroughly heated through. Now fill up the smoker with more shavings and pack them as you fill; keep puffing the bellows while you are filling, and when you have it filled place a few bench shavings, those made with an ordinary hand plane, on top to keep the small shavings from being blown through the nozzle. ¥ ou are now ready to go to work. There are other things that make good smoker fuel, such as rags, rotten wood, carpet felt, cedar bark, etc. FOR A N O T H E R C O U N T R Y ? OREGON. 0 .8 . S enators ..............................
