MUCH THE NEWEST, Nobbiest and Largest Stock of CLOTIflM In the County, is now to be Seen on th u i ( i s ( f j belief that the American Indians e descendants of the lost trllies of He finds there are no reiinonablt Is for such belief, although there i tuln similarity of ciiBtonw between Minns and the most ancient Israel- Suttlm principul reason why, in the ent of Professor Mallerjr, the In- binnot bo descended from the lost is that these tribes werenover lost but were scattered and absorbed pr peoples. twr Garrlck Mullqry, of Wah . him beon looking into the grounds gafreuient rinjr. She is told to avoid opals, as nt one ever was known to have any happiness who owmnl one of them. .In spite of this, however, dealers say that there is always a demand for ring's set with this beautiful stone. Pearls, the supersti tious say, aw even worse, hut eventually the little circlet is purchased and the time for the wedding discussed. Then more complications arise as certain days are unfavorable and some months are to be shunned. May is said to be an especially unlucky month, why no one can tell, hut many a rhyme could be quoted to show that this notion has pre vailed for centuries. Ausnist is also looked upon as a disastrous time in which to wed, and those who marrv in Lent will "live to repent," according to cry old authority. Winter seems to be the favorite season for wedding bells to chime.in our country at least. In Scotland the last day of the year is regarded with great favor, and should December 31 fall on Friday so much the better, as that Ij the favorite day of the week for a wedding. Sunday weddings aro common in England, and in the early history of ourcountry many couples were made one on that day, but recently such a thinj is seldom heard of. i In. Norway and Sweden Thursday marriages are forbidden by the Church, it being called pagans' day. After much consideration the day is decided upon, and brave indeed is the girl who will consent to change it, for that Is sure to bring ill-luck which all the rice and old shoes of the country could not drive away. Tlio time arrives anJ ith it much ad vice in regard to th color which she shall wear and the manner of arraying herself. Probably no girl in her teens is ignorant of the rhyme which urges young brides to be careful to wear "something old and something new, something borrowed and something bine," in order that she may live "happy ever after," as the storybook says. Misfortune is sure to follow the bride who has a speck of green in her eostume. She must never array herself in all her pretty robes until dressing for the cere mony. She must never read the mar riage service quite through and she must not stand before the mirror one second after she is ready, no matter how pleasing the reflection of the uappy face fend graceful gown. Journal of Ameri can Folk-Lore DOGS AS HORSES. Tfc Country Whirt Thy Are the Beaitf of Harden. I have mot M. Nantet, the Belgian an thor, who follows the usage of his coun try in utilizing the dog as a draught an ImaL He has a little phaeton drawn by iogs in which he drives about when at home, and in which be has come from Brussels to Paris! M. Jn'antet thinks that Belgium, with her cheerless sky and sodden soil, is able to hold her own, aad be among the most prosperous na tions of Europe, because the dog is not illy the friend and comrade, but the arrier of the poor man. The coster Monger and his wife in Paris or London are broken down prematurely from fa tigue, and the stabling and fodder for a donvey is a heavy tax on their profits, hat their Belgian brethren can house their dogs with themselves. Tbe dogs,, after being unharnessed dine with their masters, and in winter sleep before tbe kitchen fire. The strength of a good draught dog is marvelous. lie does not spoil roads like a horse, and when tired he asks to lie down, a favor always granted, and, on being rested, goes on again cheerfully. The pair which drew M. Jfantet is of average size and strength, and had a long line of ancestors, who did good work in their time as carriers. When at an inn their master ued to unharness them and take them with hira into the ! coffee room, where they l;iy down at his feet. Ho drove all the w?.y, unless where there was a steep hill to climb. At a pbwo called Louvroil the mayor beard he had come into the town, and informed him that his equipage came within the reach of the Graminont Law for the Protection of Animals. "Very well," answered the Belgian, who was preparing to start, and ho ordered the dogs to get into the phaeton and sit on the seat, while he drew them. They obeyed and stayed there until they were beyond the bounds of the commune, where they descended to'be harnessed. To avoid crowds, who might think well to take part with the dogs against their wastftT, JL Nan tot kept clear of large towns. -AtCompeign be telegraphed to a number of Belgians hore at what time he was likely to reach Paris, and they went out to meet him. When he was sighted the dogs were going at a brisk pace, lie thinks they could havo done the journey comfortably in five days, but as ho is as much their friend as thoir owner he gave them Seven, Paris Cor. London Daily No ws. visitors ouinr nuciito' Tinning i - hib lias ordered it, according to the I kliansainali, umi you cannot very well iask her. The towels, oven thebheets of i the visitor's bed, disappear the day of her dt.)Kirturct Tlio kliunsutnuli looks sorrowful and deprecating, but thinks line visitors nyuh must have been an . extremely dishonest hi'koii. And the I unhappy visitor lias probably had one , lime lor her bill I during the entire length of her sUiy; and the towels have brought two minus apiece at the bazar, which goes into tlio secret wallet of the kliunsnmah. Next in rank comes the kitnuitgnr. ! who brings the dishes from the Kitcnen, neips to wail at tables, but is an inferior person. A favorite term of obloquy among Anglo Indians is "He looks" like a kitmutgar," which is much worse than being compared to a khansamah. The bahurclu is the cook, and lie has a menial in the mus j salchi. who washes the dishes. "Dear- er" U a more or less general term, but I when you call the bearer among your j household stair you mean the man ; who trims the lamps and dusts. He will not sweep not he! you must have a mater to sweep, who is of very low caste indeed. The ayah is the memsahib's maid, and she cannot get on without one. The durwan is the gate keeer. who sits all day long beside the door to at tend to callers and messengers, and does nothing else. Beside these the sahib must nave a syce groom for each horse. No syce will take double pay and attend to two horses that is not the Aryan way. And if there is a , garden there must bo a uiallee to take care of it. and for the most menial work of the house there is a beestic or water carrier, whoso name is admira bly approbriate. and who skulks about his business under tlio opprobrium of all the rest. The dhoby is the washerman, whose peccadilloes are interestingly "naife." tie has been known, for instance, to dismember certain garments of the sa hib and send them in separate legs, in order to show the proper number on nis list una yet retain a shirt or a handkerchief. There is tho dhurzie, too, who is a joy in India, and who comes and sits and sews all dav on your veranda for fourpeucel Very imitative, indeed, is the dhurzie, not to be trusted with any thing, even to bodices and skirts, for which he has a pattern. Anglo-India tempers are short, and the khansamah knows their brevity better than anybody in the world. A favorite expression of abuse in con nection witn undergone mutton per haps, is in exciting Iliudustanee "Son of a pigl" which hurts the gen tle Hindoos feelings as much as anything. Put the gentle Hin doo usually replies conciliatorily in some term of deep respect and admiration: and certainly the uncon scious khansamah got the best of it, who replied to this expression on the lips of his irate sahib, "Sir, you are my father and my mother 1" Garth Grafton in Montreal Star. "l'mrty years ago the cantquesuon in England was, "Who is your hatter?" just as here now it is, "Where did you get that hat?" It was succeeded by "How are your poor feet?" and when the "Dead Heart," the subject of Irving's present revival, was brought out origi nally, where one of the characters says, "My heart is dead, dead, dead!" p. voice in the gallery nearly broke up the drama with "How are yuur poor feet? "Aro there no grindstones in this town, Josiah? asked his wife, laying down the paper. "Lots of them. What niake.i you ask such a question?" "Why, the paper say that Mr. Votem, of this place went to Washingtonlast week be cause he had an axe to grind. I should think that if there were any grindstones in town he wouldn' tgo nearly three hun dred miles to get his axe Bharpeaed." N. Y. Ledger. Pat and Mike, two verdant Irishmen fresh from the "Old Sod," came across a drove of fine Herkshiro hogs, while trav ersing a country road. Not being well acquainted with American pork in Us live state, Pat inuii'ed of his friend "What might be the name of thim ani mals with the fat cheeks?" With true IriHh wit Mike replied: "Faith and thim looks to me loike shaved shape wid the mumps." -Lite. A Bucksport, Me,, student got tired one day and laid his books in one of the open pipes of the water works while ho went to jilay. When next he thought of the books he couldn't find them, as the pipo had been buried underground. A few days later the water was turned on, but something was wrong. Tho water would only come slowly. Finally 'in working the valve of the hydrant lome paper appeared, then more paper In lumps, then some pieces of cloth binding and the mystery, both of the bad behavior of tho works and of the V ruth's inJUsintc books, was solved. year of jubilee for the horse is approaching. The western cities .Jong used the cable traction sys tem for street earn. Now eastern towns nre taking it up. Bultinioro will have her street cars pulled by a cable by next July. A few months more will also see them in operation on Broadway. New York. Now, If somebody will invent a motor to haul tho huge wagons and trucks that convey freight through city streets, a long step towards tho per fect civilization will be accomplished. There is not nxuu enough in city streets for mankind and horses too. The smoke nuisance in Chicago has gradually made life a burden almost in tolerable to be borne. Tho sumo is true of Cincinnati. But Chicago now turns with joyful hope of relief to tho natural gas wells of Indiana. In half a year, if all goes well, the peoplo In tho great, town by the lake will be warming their houses with natural gas, brought in pipes from a field 130 miles away. Then Chicago will bo a beautiful and splendid city. It r.ill give her a better chaut or tho World's fair.
