"Ob, yes," said an attorney to whom a reporter applied for any in formation be might possess on the subject of whimsical marriages, "I know of a case in this city where two uncles and their nephew married three sisters. Thus tho nephew's wife became the niece of her sisters and her husband became the brother-in-law of his uncles. His first boy became the grand nephew of his aunts, his mother's sisters and his cousins were necessary his aunts and uncles." Thus encouraged the reporter with a mission looked about for more whimsical marriages and learned of half a dozen in as many hours. A prominent sewing machine man who formerly lived in this city married a widow who had u young daughter. When the latter had grown up to womanhood the sewing machino man obtained a divorce from his wife and married her daughter, making his former wife his mother-in-law. The three were often seen riding out to gether iu the same carriage. It is but a few years since a certain well known historian and "poet, after the death of his wife, married her daugh ter by a previous marriage, much to the disgust of his son, who found that his sister had suddenly grown into his mother-in-law. Bu. the queerest case of all is that of a widower and son who married a widow and Iter daughter, tho son marrying the mother and the father the daughter. When the widower married the daughter ho became father-in-law to the widow, who was his daughter-in-law; or, in other words, was father-in-law to his mother-in-law. His wife became the step mother of his son-in-law, who was in fact her half brother, being the full son of her father, her husband. When the son married the widow he became the father-in-law of his own father, because his wife was his father's whVs mother. By his marriago the son became the stepfather of his step mother, who was Ins stepdaughter. The widow is not only the mother of her daughter, but also her daughter-in-law and her daughter becomes her mother-in-law. The widow is like wise the daughter-in-law of her hus band's father, who, it will bo remem bered, is her son-in-law by reason of bein? her daughter's husband. By marrying the widow the son becamo the son-in-law of his mother, the"wife of his father. The son becomes the fa Jicr of his father's wife, his half siuter, his own daughter, because she is the daughter of his own wife. The old gentleman, by his marriage with the daughter, became his son's wife's son-in-law, that lady likewise being his daugter-in-law," although being his wife's mother. The father's wife, as step-mother to his children, is therefore STstep-mother to her mother and step-father, the latter being the son of her husband. If the union of the son and the widow be blessed with a girl babe the little one would ordinarily be the old gen tleman's grandchild. In this in stance, however the old man being son-in-law to the son he, in addi tion to being Its grandfather, is a half-brother to the infantaud the child is half-sister to its grandmother. In case the daughter, who married the widower, should have a boy, he would at once become his grand mother's half-brother and her brother-in-law at the same time. A Touching Incident The following touching incident is lecordedof Madame MarieRoze, dur ing her sojourn in this country, and while on a visit to Auburn prison, New York, where she sang in the presence of nearly all of its inmates, intruding upwards of twelve hundred convicts. On her arrival she desired to know if all the priFoners were present, and being answered in the negative, she requested that even those in solitary confinement should, as a special privilege, be permitted to come into tli chapel and join the other convicts in listening to the music which .she proposed to sing. The request was accorded, and the poor fellows, some of them for the first time in many years, were per mitted not only to look once more on the face of a beautiful woman, but to hear again from an accomplished ar tiste the sweet notes that rommded them of the innocent days of youth. The chief selections of Madame Uoze were "Sweet Spirit, Hear my rayer," and "The Sweet By and By," and even the most hardened crim inals were stirred to tears. After this the fair cantatricc made a tour of the institution the prisoners mean while being retained in the chapel, and on her return she sang the old familiar air. "Comin' Thro' the llye." The most infelligent of the convicts prepared a testimonial of thanks, which was duly signed and presented to the lady. It closed with the fol lowing quotation : "God sent His sinKora upon earth With fconga of sadness and of mirth Thnt they might tonch tho hearts of men And bring them back to hea von again." A young lady whose very best youngman lived over the way with his parents took a seat by the window one cloudy morning. "Why do you sit by the window such a chilly morn ing, Laura?" asked her mother. "I am waiting for the son to come out, ma," she replied. The comet is a kind of astronomi cal parody on the planet. Comets look some like planets but the are thinner and do not hurt so hard when they hit anybody as a planet does. The comet was so called because it had hair on it, I believe, but late years the bald-headed comet is giv ing as good satisfaction everywhere. The characteristic features of tho comet are: A nucleus, a nebulous light or coma, and usually a luminous train or tail worn high. Sometimes several tails are observed on one comet, but this occurs only in flush times. When I was young I used to think I would like to be a comet in the sky, up above the world so high, with nothing to do but loaf around and play with the little new laid planets and have a good time, but now I can see where I was wrong. Comets also have their troubles, and their peri helions, their hyperbolas and their parabolas. A little over 300 years ago Tycho Braho discovered " that comets were extraneous to our atmos phere, and since' then times have im proved. I can see that trade is steadier and potatoes run less to tops than they did before. Soon after that they dicovcred tliat comets all had more "or less periodi city. Nobody knows how they got it. All the astronomers had been watching them day and night and didn't know when they were exposed but there was no time to talk and argue over the question. There were two on three hundred comets all down with it at once. It was an ex citing time. Comets sometimes live to a great age. fhis shows that the night air is not so injurious to the health as many people would have us believe. The greatcomet of 1GS0 is supposed to have been the one that was noticed about the time of Csesar's death, 44 B. C, and still when it appeared in Newton's time, seventeen hundred years after its first grand farewell tour, Ike said that it was very well preserved indued and seemed to have retained all its faculties in good shape. Astronomers say that the tails of all comets are turned from the sun. I do not know why they do this, wheth er it is etiquette among them or just a mere habit. A late writer on astronomy said that the substance of the nebulosity and the tail is of almost inconceivable tenuity. He said this and then death came to his relief. Another writer says of the comet and its fail "that the" curvature of the latter and the acceleration of the per iodic time in the case of Enck's comet indicate their being affected by a re sisting medium which has never been observed to have the slightest influence on the planetary eriods." I do not fully agree with the emin ent authority, though he may Ie right. Much fear has been the result of the comet's appearance ever since the world began, and it is as good a thing to worry about as anything I know of. If we could get close to a comet without frightening it awav, wo would find that we could walk through it any where as we could through the glare of a torchlight pro cession. We should so live that we will not be ashamed to look a comet in the eye, hoever. Let us pay up our newspaper subscription and "lead such lives that when the comet strikes we will be ready. Some worry a good deal about the chances for a big comet to plow into the sun some dark and rainy night, and thus bust up the " whole universe. I wish that was all I hail to worry about. If any responsible man will agree to pay my taxes and funeral expenses, I will agree to do his worrying about the comet's crashing into 'the bosom of the sun and knocking its daylights out. McPherson Flack, of Galveston, is the father of a remarkably bright lit tle boy named Freddy, "who is the only child in the family. Last Mon day morning, just as Mr. Flack was about to start down town to his busi ness, Freddy called eut: "Pa, I wan't you to come here and play with me." "I've not got time, my son," re sponded Mr. Flack. "Yes, pa, that's what you tell me all the time. I feel the necessity of having a little brother playmate more and more every day, but you don't seem to take my feelings into consid eration any more. I think I'll speak to ma about it." "Hubby, what were yon dreaming about last night when vou saiclvou would straddle the blind?" "Me? Strad Oh, yes, I was dreaming I was going for a horseback ride on a blind horse." "Oh, I see. That accauntSfpr-ibe rest you said. You were goitrerp ride over and call on ybdraune, weren't you, hubby-?" That Dirty Dandruff. Dandruff is dirty and disagreeable in every way. It soils the clothing continually," and is accompanied by a hardly less annoying sensation of itching. The scalp is diseased. There is nothing in the world so thoroughly adapted to this trouble as Parkers Hair Balsam. It cleanses and heals the scalp, stops tho falling hair and restores its original softness, gloss and color. Is not oily, highly per fumed, an elegant dressing. Very economical, as only a small occasion al application keeps the hair in per fect condition. Sunday, while John Capura was eating l.Is dinner, he proceeded to fill his plate from a tureen of broth and stew. In doing so he lifted out a section of steer's jaw, and dropped to his seat, paialy.tng the rest of tho boarders with the exclamatien: "Jerusalem, boys! I've struck a bonanza in the soup-bowl!" He lifted out the jav, and it was seen that the teeth were apparently coated with gold, some very thvkly. others carrying only a film. The ba'ance of the jaw was 'speedily rshed out, and both pieces jtc now .i exhibition.
