Although there has been no interna
SJonul race for the America's Cup, the
Treason has ljcen a notable one among
the sailing craft as well as among the
steamers. This Is owing to the advent
of an entirely new racing-cluss the
yachts of forty-six feet water-line, or,
ts they are more commonly known,
the "forty-six-footers. ' The class it
self is not a new one, yachts
included in it having been
tfovdrites for several years as
cruisers, but not until this treason
have American boats been designed for
it with special reference to speed, and
speed alone. During the past season
this was the racing class par excel
lence, and the one in whl"h centered
the greasest interest for the general
public as well as for the yaihtsmen.
Jlost celebrated in this class is the
"wonderful (ilotfatia, owned by Vice
Commodore .Morgan l-roin .lunojti,
when she ilrst made yachtsmen open
their eyes in the tegatta of the Atlan
tic Yacht club, she hus not been beaten.
JTaa tweiity-six-mile efiirse she beat
Jessica eleven minutes twenty-one sec
vmds, and Nautilus fourteen minutes
eighteen seconds. Victories followed
in the Nmv York Yacht club tegatta,
"the Corinthian Yacht club regatta, and
others, and she wound up by carrying
tT the (Jfelet cup and the Newport
fcweepstakes. Thee.'oati nof Natllerr-

Hundreds of couples are each year
united by the justices of the peace of St
Louis. It is almost surprising to what
extent people seek this form of civil mar
riage. The two hearts that are made to
beat as one by a suave justice are by no
means always those of giddy young
elopers, as the general piiblic believes.
'What is the reason that so many peo
ple prefer a conrt marriage to a religions
one?" was asked Squire Frank Spaulding
'I think that in the majority of eases
it is because it is so free from formality
There is no time lost in making the
couple man and wife. The form pre

than half a minute to go through with
Nearly ull the jieople united by the
magistrates are poor and unable and
unwilling to go to the expense of buying
uu exteiisivo wedding outfit. They need
the money to provide for their own ini
mediate wants. Then u great number
of people ate bashful and do not like to
stand up in front of a crowd and be mar
ried. They can go before a magistrate
! and be united in tho presence of only
two or three persons.
Do they always have money for the
fee?"
'In nearly every case. When they
haven't 1 always make it my duty to
marry them anyway."
What do they usually give to the
magistrate?"
'Oh, it varies. Tho law prescribes a

Usually it is five dollars. About a year

'When I was with Squire Tuft nt
Eleventh and Franklin avenue, we used
to huve a great many ludicrous inci
dents. We had so many murnages there
that the place got to be known as the
marriage corner. One day an intelligent
looking young couple came in. They had
heard that the place was where they
should go to get iiiurriuge licenses. They
didn't know anything ubout thut part of
the programme. The clerk directed
them to the recorder's office. They went
and secured the license, and probably
thinking it was necessary to go through
some additional formality came back to
our ofllce, Squire Taft was busy trying
a case, and at once got down oft tho
bench. He knew nothing of the preced
ing visit, and at once proceeded to go
through the ceremony
"As soon as lie pronounced them man
and wife the young girl threw up her
hands and fell into a chair in -dismay.
Great GodI what will my mother say?
This is a Protestant marriage!' she cried.
She was n devout Catholic, and thought
she was only going through part of the
forms to secure a license Although they
were married as tight as the law could
do it, they were married that night by a
(Jutholic priest."
"Do you have many runaway couples
call upon you?" wns asked.
'Not us many us the public generally
imagine. They uro generally from out
of tho city, anil ure tired and weary with
tho journey und excitement when tlioy

into Squire Tuft's olllce. He was out,
and they sat down on a bench to rest.
They hnd inatlo a long journey, aud tho
first thing tho groom did was to go to
sleep. The little girl tit lust gave in
too. She leaned her head upon his
breast, nnd both were in the deepest
kind of slumber when the squire canio
in. No one liked to wake them, but
finally wo made enough uoiso to arouse
them.
"A minute later they had boon pro
nounced man mid wife. The groom
laughed merrily over his fulling asleep,
and at the conclusion of the ceremony
said, '1 don't know which refreshed mo
tho most, going to sleep or getting mar

"Tho funniest incident 1 know of wns
tho groom thut forgot his bride's first

that fixed, however, and they went on
their way rejoicing."
"Have you ever followed up tho after
lives of couples you have married?"
'No; but about half of them follow
mo up, The general impression of tho
poorer classes is thut a man who can
marry thorn can also unmarry them. I
should say that fully live out of every
ten couples 1 marry come around again
nnd want a diyorco. Then in a great
many cases when the couple have a
quarrel tho husband tears up the mar

J It was back somewhere In the sixties
Tchen the incident I am about to relate
occurred The date has not been put
back so as to prevent a critical exami
nation by the incredulous, but because it
belongs to that eriod.
There were three of us hunting prairie
chickens. They were plentier then than
they are now it was but a little task
to secure a bag of them But only a few
can have such a rare treat now as the
breast of a young prairie chicken fried.
As we were tramping cautiously
through the thick, clean prairie grass a
blue racer moved slowly out of our way
It was not the length of the snake that
attracted our attention, but its unusual
thickness and its indisposition to get
out of the way Neither did it show
any inclination to resist the invasion
Its eyes had not the well known flash of
tight. The bulging thickness of the
snake excited our curiosity. After killing
it one of the boys with his knife ripped
it open, and there to our great surprise
out rolled a rattlesnake which was near
ly as long, antl before he had been com
pressed seemed to have been nearly as
thick us the racer He had, if I remem
ber correctly, a button aud two rattles.
If I had the opportunity now, 1 would
be more careful in the examination of
6ueh n rare natural wonder 1 would
measure the length and thickness of both
snakes, und would also be sure to find
out whether the rattlesnake was swal
lowed head or tail first, and whether he
had been started on his inland journey
before or after death.
I had heard thut snakes swallowed
toads and frogs without dissection, but
had doubts ol the ability of tiie snake to
so expand his throat; but after this inci
dent I doubt no more, and would not be
greatly surprised to hear of a racer swal
lowing himself. .1 B. Marliu in Cen

Kviilutlim of the Knife.
"This easeful of implements which
we have newly placed on exhibition is
designed to show the development of the
tool which we call the knife, beginning
from tho earliest times." said Professor
Mason at the National museum. "First,
you observe, is tho fragment of flint,
which the savage split by batiging it on
top with a stone hammer into a number
of Hakes. The smaller ones were used
for arrow points and the bigger ones for
knives, their edges being split oft" so
sharp that yon might almost shave with
some of them Next yon see the flint
inserted into a handle of split wood or
bone, and us further improvements, tho
fastenings of this primitive knife in tho
handle by the rosm of trees and by cord
of one sort or another bound around to
securo it.
"The most beautiful knife in tho col
lection is this exquisitely molded blade
of greenish jade, belonging to tho stone
ago, branded with a walrus tusk. You
can hardly find a more admirably form
ed weapon among tho products of mod
ern cutlery wures Most curious of tho
modern tools here is this sailor's knife,
square at tho end instead of pointed, to
prevent stabbing in a row, or tho dan
gerous falling of the weapon from aloft.
Its blade drops out at the end of the
handle when a spriiig is touched, so

To get correct soundings m deep water
is difficult. Tho best invention for that
purpose is a shot weighing about thirty
pounds, which carries down a line.
Through this shot or sinker a hole is
drilled, und through the hole is passed n
rod of iron which moves easily back and
forth. At the end of tho barn cup is dug
out, the inside being coated with lard.
Tho bar is made fast to tho line, a sling
holding the shot in position. When tho
bur, which extends below theshot, touches
tho bottom tho sling unhooks, and tho
shot slides downward and drives the lard
coated cup into the sand nt tho bottom.

There were probably a hundred people In
the old Island House depot in Toledo when a
tall, thin man, who might have been 40 years
old and did uot look to weigh over ninety
pounds, who had a rojw harness on him,
pawed around the waiting room and said:
"I am coins to give on exhibition of
strength outside the building, and shall ex
pect the small sum of a dime from each
looker-on. I am going to nttempt to raise a
dead weight of two tons."
All the men und quite a number of the wo
men went out, and enough townspeople came
down to make a crowd of three hundred. The
thin man passed around through the crowd
and took up a collection, nnd he must have
got an average of ten cents for every one
present. When he had pocketed the money
he approached several larue grindstones ly
ing in a heap and chained together and an
nounced: "Ladies and Gentlemen: I thank you kind
ly for vour contributions. Here is a dead
weight of '2,000 iounds. I shall attempt to
lift it." , .

"See here this looks like a fraud!" ex

"Oh, don't say that!" sorrowfully replied
the thin man. "You nil saw mo try."
"But you led us to lieliove you could lift
