Gretna Green, Scotland, became
famous for its celebration o f irregu­
lar marriages. For many years tbe
average number was 500. The cere­
mony consisted only o f an admis­
sion, before witness, by the couple
that they were husband and wife,
this being sufficient to constitute •
valid marriage. A fter this tbe offi­

a blacksmith), together with two
witnesses, signed the marriage cer­

When Cats Wars >earns»
In a curious collection o f ancient
Welsh laws, dated 943 A .. D., ap­
pears the following sentence, from
which it would appear that cats
were rather scarce at that time:
"T h e worth o f a kitten until it shall
open its eyes ia one legal penny;
two legal pennies; after it shall kill
mice, four legal pence, and so it
shall alwavs remain.”
Whan you buy sugar yen pay lasa par pound whan you buy
it by tha dollar's worth. You pay still Mas par pound when you
buy it by tha hundrad-pound sack or by the banal.
Tha same is trua of the manufacturer and the merchant.
The larger quantities o f anything that ho can boy the Mas ha
has to pay for it. It coots him iasa to handle it in largo quan­
tities than in small lots. It coats lass par pound to ship a solid
carload than it does to ship a carload in separate shipments of
100 pounea each. Just as H costs you leas to buy a hundred
pounds o f sugar at ons time than it would to buy a hundred
pounds n quarter’s worth at a time. Lose in money. Loos in
time. Loos waste lass in ovary way.

to buy and to soil in larger quantities. By doing n "quantity”
business they cut expenses and save waste on overy hand. They
