It is entirely free from alum and other , additions injurious to health. .. . Pnf. Chemistry, Coiitfiff Phanucy Dtft, University California.

The dreaming maiden never figures an a second wile in her love visions, how ever she may figure in real life later on; yet a first marriage often fits a man to be a far tenderer husband and more de voted lover, fie remembers his first wife only sufficiently to 'recall his errors and mistakes, and to avoid them in his treatment of his second. Most girls, however, would prefer taking the risk of his mistakes than deriving the benefit of his experience. However numerous may have been a rail's omonrs, a woman likes to think that she has brought a new experience into his life in the honeymoon. A man's first lawful possession of a pure and lov ing woman for his very own would seem to mark a never-to-be-forgotten era in his life, no matter what nnhappiness may have followed; yet the human heart is a strange machine. A sweet and noble woman, whose nature was profound and full of feeling, once shocked me with a confession. flJ was but twenty-two when my first .husband died," she said, "1 worshiped him, and we had been ideally happy. All the world seemed a tonyb after he died. I did not believe life held any joy for me. My only happiness for years 1 found in passing whole days beside his mjiuu. jev i married again ueiure a was thirty a man who had awakened, it seemed to me, a deeper passion in my heart than the early love. And now year after year goos by in which 1 for get to notice the anniversary of my first marriage or of my husband's death, so absorbed am 1 in this mau." Asan opposition to this case, i knew a stubborn and selfish woman who was ' persistent and constant in her violent grief at the loss of her young husband. Years passed with no abatement of her angry resentment at fate, and yet finally she entered into litigation with the aged parents of her husband 'about the prop erty. Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Pnizles In llelatlooihtp. , A strango relationship exists in the family of a couple of Englishmen in this state. Borne ten years ago two brothers named Beers came to this country from England and settled on a small farm in Menefee county. Things prospered with them, and soon one of the brothers, Philip, becoming tired of lonely life on the farm, wooed and won Miss Lizzie Johnson, a young rural beauty. They were married and lived happily together nearly eight years. Something, how tver, disturbed the harmony of their Married life, for last snmnier Philip ap plied for and obtained a divorce. Life seemed to have lost all charms for him. In the mean time the other brother, Louis, also tired of the unlucky lot of the lone bachelor, began to cast .about him for a helpmate, and must have dis covered in his brother's 3atie 'wife the sum of all his future happiness, for the little village near which the brothers re sided was one day suddenly electrified !o hear that Louis and the grass widow had been made one. The news came to Philip, who simply smiled and replied, "Never mind; my inning comes next." Little attention was paid to the re mark, and certainly no one thought of the strange denouement that would fol low. The ordinary routine life of the mountain village went! smoothly on nn til.onlya day or so ago, the villagers were astonished to hear, that Philip Beers and Mrs. Johnson, his ex-wife's mother and his brother's mother-in-law, had been quietly married. Then there was consternation in the Calmly of Mrs, f Lotus Beers. ' , The neighbors and friends of the several parties are now busily engaged trying to figure out the relationship of the several parties to each other's rela tives. Kentucky Cor.

At the coming of the winter solstice the whole nation is supposed to pray, at least in the person of t he emperor. This great worship takes place at night. The em peror squats on the bottom of a great elephant car, and drawn by the white elephant which the kingofSiam sent mm, is escorted by 2,000 grandees, princes and attendants, while bands of music play along the way to the great temple. He first goes into the palace of fasting. There he meditates beforeacopperstatne representing a priest with his mouth cov ered by his lingers, indicating silence. Upon the altar of heaven he should sacrifice burnt animals calves, hares, sheep and pigs. How this worship will take place, now that the altar of heaven is burned down, I do not know; but the occasion may call out some expressions of opinion from different parts of the empire which will be more or less dan gerous. Frank Q. Carpenter in National Tribune. Curious Debate on a Burned Pinafore. A burned pinafore has been the cause of a curious debate. A girl belonging to the Cuckoo Lane schools, at Hanwell, belonging to the city of London and bt. Savour's nnion, dropped the chalice at a communion service and startled the pina fore. Thereupon the high chaplain or dered the pinafore not to be washed, but to be destroyed. As it belonged to the ratepayers the managers inquired hi." authority for destroying their property. The chaplain pleaded the precedent that old Bibles are destroyed in the same way, but offered to buy a new pinafore. The managers however are determined not to let the matter rest, and two com- mit'ees are to investigate the practices of Ritualistic chaplains in regard to damaged pinafores and Bibles. London Tit-Bits. A Co-operative Boot Factory. A striking proof of the steady progress of the principle of co-operative produc tion was given Friday at Leicester, where over 600 delegates from all parte of the kingdom assembled to assist at the formal opening of the largest co-operative boot and shoe factory in the world. The factory stands on six acres of ground. The buildings cost $150,000, and when fitted with machinery the to tal outlay will have been 1330,000. The working capita will be (1,000,000, and the factory will be able to turn out 50, 000 pairs of boots every week. This huge enterprise has been and will continue to be managed by workingmen, and the men who make the boots will share in the profits earned by their labor. Lon don Cor. New Vork Times. Cartons Recovery of Lout Records, Oorham met with a serious loss over twenty years ago. About 1871 it was discovered that a book containing the earliest town records, from its incorpora tion in 1754 to 1815, was missing. The town offered a reward for its return and many individuals joined in the search, but hope of finding these records- was abandoned long ago. Last week, bow- ever, the express brought from Boston a package containing three books in excel lent preservation, without any explana tion. One of tlrem was the early rec ords of Urorham". The other two books contained the marriages, births and deaths of the inhabitants of the town from 1704 to 1822. Lewiston journal. -. tVeutlen In a Hliixard.

The rise of the wife of London's lord mayor is another instauce of the demo cratic tendencies of the times and the overthrow of the social nobility which has so long ruled the world. Bhe was a chambermaid at a fashionable hotel In West Kemp, where David Evans, alder man of the ward of Castle Raynurd and now lord mayor of London, used to stop during the hunting season. He fell iu love with the pretty girl who waited upon him, and iu a manly and demo cratic spirit proposed to her and was ac cepted. So now the humble servant is elevated to one of the highest social posi tions in the world s metropolis, and will in the future entertain royalty and the most distinguished men and women of the nations. Her experience, however, is not unique. Tbe wife of Jules Qrevy, ex president of the French republic, was his washerwoman before she sat in the palace. Many women of the highest so cial prominence have risen from humble surroundings. Ever siuce the days of King Cophetua, who made the beggar maid his queen, there have been men courageous enough to ignore the sneers of the lofty and to marry the women of their choice, in whatever circumstances they found them. Brave old Andrew Jackson was proud of his beloved wife till the day of his death in spite of her homely manners and her unfamiliarity with the ways of the polite world, and his secretary of war married tbe daugh ter of a tavern keeper. But at no time have men of promi nence picked their wives from the mod est walks of life with greater frequency than at preseut, and the custom is grow ing. It is carrying out democracy in earnest, and what is best of all, the men never teem to regret their choice. Chi cago Globe. Novel Wedding dirts. A novelty in the line of wedding pres ents has just been put upon the market If you have a friend who is about to top ple over the brink of matrimony, and would take pleasure in presenting him with something besides that eternal punch bowl, or those perennial knives and forks, or that customary ormoln clock, go down and see one of the big safe companies on lower Broadway. The safe man has gone so far ahead of tbe gentle ourglar in solidity of construc tion and tool defying locks that he can now afford to give some of his wares a touch of the decorative and picturesque. His first venture in this direction has resulted in a series of little strong boxes made up in odd shapes. The favorite one is that of a portable writing desk. The safe proper is concealed beneath a covering of inlaid wood, and not one person in a hundred would suspect it to be anything but a desk. It can be car ried in a trunk or satchel and is admira bly fitted for the transportation of large sums of ready money. Once locked it would take a small blast of dynamite to open it. The one objection to it is that should the burglar ever suspect the real identity of the innocent looking desk he would only have to put it under his arm and tote it away to crack at leisure. New York Commercial Advertiser. She rinds Her Plaee. Facts are stubborn things. This la a trite remark, but, like all trite remarks, true. There are certain facts which to day are applicable to the woman ques tion that the hard headed opponents of woman's advancement find it difficult to combat. The chief fact is the persistence with which woman "bobs up serenely" in all the live questions of the day. Take her all around she is very much alive, and is demonstrating her old conceded ability to put in the last word and put it in often, with a success that takes away the breath of the old fogies. With a consciousness that she is one of a mil lion of her own sex competing with men for bread and butter, she puts her hands in her jacket pockets and says, firmly, bnt courteously: "A little more room, if you please, sir. God made this world just as much for me as for you." And he usually finds the extended elbows gradually succumb under her persistent pressure. Chicago Herald. No More Bed Parasols.

A Brooklyn girl only eleven yean of age has formed 030 intelligible words of the letters found in the word incomprehensibility, Across the Continent to Marry and Didn't, Seattle contains today a disappointed young couple who believe not that mar riage is, but that it would be a failure. The man is Basil Huporislm and the girl is Miss Florence R Bathrlck, of Do Kalb, Ills. Thoy became acquainted through correspondence resulting from the an swering of an advertisement in a Chicago paper, and the acquaintance finally re sulted in an agreement to marry if upon meeting each was satisfied, Miss Bath rick came out here, her eager lover met tier at Puyallup, but the wedding has not taken place and will not, Miss Bathrlck sayB! "I came out here to marry Basil Supo- riska, but have found that he is not tbe man I thought he was. I was led to be lieve that he owned about half of Seattle and wnsacapitalist. I think I'll go back home, for there are plenty of men there that I can marry. Indeed, I've just had a telegram from a fellow who has wanted to marry me all along, and 1 will go back and take my old beau. I have some money, and 1 think that is what Suporiska is after, but luckily I did not bring the money with me, but left orders to have the check sent to me after 1 was married." Miss Bathrick brought a large trous seau, including a white wedding dress with a train eight feet long, white hat and gloves. Cor. Chicago llerald. Hot Water Foot Warmers. A commission sent by the directors of the French railways to England and Germany to report npon the means adopted in those countries for warming railway carriages during the winter finds that France has nothing to learn from her neighbors in this respect, hot water foot warmers similar to those in use on French railways being employed almost everywhere. On the Northern of France railway, however, an import ant experiment is about to be tried on a large scale. All carriages, even on short distance trains, are to be warmed, and the warmth is to be produced by means of boxes of acetate of soda. The chemical is put in a solid state into the boxes, And these are then plunged into hot water about 100 degs. The effect is that the soda be comes liquid. On being taken out of the water the boxes are wiped dry and are put into the carriages. By degrees the soda solidities, and as long as the operation lasts that is, for about live or six hours it gradually gives off the heat it has absorbed in the melting pro cess. London News. A Mighty nunter's Triumph. "There was one incident in the woods this season," said a North woods guide, "which was amusing, to say the least. A wealthy Albanian, who spends his summers in the vicinity of Lake George, and who, by the wny, enjoys a military title, came into the woods with great pomp when deer was in season, and re quested that a deer be captured for hii. This was done and the animal tied to a tree. Then the military gentleman, who is a member of a society for the protec tion of fish and game, brought his gnn up aud blazed away at the tethered ani mal. It required six shots from the gun of the Albanian to mortally wound the deer. What do you think of that for hunting? The guides in the woods when they heard of the affair vowed they would lynch the man if he came up there again." Albany Journal. Surprise nt a surprise Party. A surprise party was given J. O'Don nell and wife, of Beaver Fulls, by a lot of his neighbors. Mrs. Bridget Donavan was one of the guest. She weighs about 330 pounds, and when she essayed a skirt dance it truly was a surprise party. The floor was weak, Mrs. Dono van was heavy, and in the middle of a difficult figure the floor gave way, and the fair dancer disappeared into the cel lar along with the kitchen stove. She was quickly extracted from her perilous position by the men of the party by the aid of levers and ropes, and was found to be but little injured. The stove, fortunately, contained no fire, and did not fall upon her. Cor. Pittsburg Dis patch. A Canine Hero. A case Illustrating the sagacity of the canine race has occurred at Jackson, Miss. Several negro children were play ing on the banks of Pearl river, near the bridge, when one of them, Robert Jack son, a boy, about seven yearsold, slipped and fell into the water. He was being borne rapidly away by the current when his dog, a little black setter, plunged into the river, and, seizing the child by the clothing, swam safely to shore with its heavy burden. The boy was pretty full of water, but soon recovered and ran home with his dog following at his heels. Cor. New Orleans Times-Democrat 1 ' , " The Care of an Umbrella. There are a couple of points with re gard to the care of an umbrella with which I would wish to supply tbe pub lic for 1 am a crank on tho subject One is In connection with tbe rolling of it up. To do this so as not to injure the ribs nd joints, firmly grasp the points below the cloth with your right hand while you glide downward with your left till the folds are nicely bid. The other is, when the umbrella is soaked with wet, set with the handle resting on tho floor and let tho water run off the ends of the ribs.

Some excellent people take serious ex ception to Grant Allen's remark that, being a uinn, he took it for granted that the first business of a girl was to be pretty. Now, it may bo that Mr. Allen is not so far out of the way after all. It is certainly the duty of every woman, and man, too, to be as good looking as possible, because beauty gives pleasure to other people. Beauty of person Is the expression of something corresponding to It in the mind and soul, and is to be prized accordingly. True beauty comes from the cultivation of the liigltor graces of the mind and soul, as well as the care of the body, and cannot exist without this, A dried up old professor whe knows forty lunguugos, and yet is weak eyed, lank haired, stoop shouldered anil dyspeptic.

Make yourselves lumdsomo by physical oxer cise, by intellectual work and by cul tivating a sweet temper and generous, kindly spirit to all mankind. A. I). White and Coeducation. Ex-Prosident Whltu, of Cornell, is en thusiastically in favor of coeducation and athletic exercises. Coeducation makes womon moro womanly and men more manly, he says, And sunshino, fresh air and vigorous physical exorcises are moro important for girls than for boys even, because "co-ed." girl students ra their zeal for study are apt to neglect their bodies. In hiB judgment no girl should be permitted to take a college course nolens she uIko took a proper sys tem of regular exorcise iu a gymnasium or elsewhere. Tricks ot Manner. To illustrate how tho little tricks of manner are copied and become the fash ion, it is told of a debutante of several seasons ago who siieedily liecamea pro nounced belle that ut her lirst few ap pearances iu society, out of sheer embar rassment, she invariably stood with her hands clasped.
