1 Giving Away the Bride.
An archaism of the Publish marriage
service which has fallen Into disuse is,
"AVho glveth thi» woman away?" It
i is a relic of the days when a woman
could be donated by her father or ber
brothers as property
It is ielated that at a wedding In
California many years ago when the
clergyman said. "Who giveth this wo
man away?" a sepulchral voice from
the body of the audience replied, "I
could, but I won't!"—Los Angeles
Times.

AN ACTOR'S REAL TRAGEDY.
Pathos of John McCulloufh's Last Ap
pearance on Any Stage
John McCullough. the tragedian, died
In an Insane asylum. Writing about
the famous actor's last appearance on
any stage, E. H. Sotbera in bis "Re
membrances" In Scrlbner's says:
tie went through a scene In "The
Gladiator;" theu he went to the last
scene In "Virginiua," where Virginlua
raves after he baa killed his daughter;
then to Othello's farewell speech, one
he had often told me that his great
master. Edwin Forrest, had only read
to his own satisfaction once In his life:
Oh, now, forever
Farewell the tranquil mind; farewell con
teat!
Farewell the plumed troop and the bit
wars
That make ambition virtue! Oh. farewell!
Farewell the neighing stood and the shrill
trump,
The spirit stirring drum, the ear piercing
fife.
The royal banner, and all quality,
Pride, pomp and circumstance of glorious
war!
And, oh. you mortal engines, whose rude
throats
The Immortal Jove's dread clamors coun
terfeit.
Farewell! Othello's occupation's gone.
It was pitiful in the extreme to bear
McCullough read this at any time and
trebly so now. He wandered through
others of his various characters, the
people about him weeping and seeking
to bide their grief. At length he drift
ed Into the part of Cardinal Richelieu.
He played the scene in the garden
where Bars das, the creature of the
king, comes to take Richelieu's wgrd
away from him. He had spoken the
tender speech of protection to Julie,
and now Richelieu says to Joseph, who
holds him up on one side while his
ward assists him on the other, "Well,
well, we will go home!" Here be walks
feebly up the stage. Baradas, seeing
how broken he is, says aside to De Be
ringhen, "His mind and life are break
ing fast." Richelieu overbears him.
turns with his old fury and cries: "Ir
reverent ribald! if so, beware the fall
ing ruin! 1 tell thee, scorner of these
whitening hairs, when this snow melt
eth there shall come a flood. Avaunt!
My name is Richelieu! 1 defy thee!
Walk blindfold on—behind thee stalks
the headsman—aha: How pale he
glares—God save my country!" And
he falls fainting as the act ends.
Poor McCullough went up the stage
at "Well, well, we will go home." Ba
radas said his line, the tears streaming
down his face. "His mind and life are ,
breaking fast." McCullough threw Jo
sepb and Julie off as he turned on Ba
radas and began: "Irreverent ribald!
If so. beware the falling ruin," and
stopped dazed.
He looked at the weeping Baradas, at
Julie sobbing, at the rest of the com
pany standing about overcome with
grief and terror, and collapsed utterly.
An Army Corps.
In round numbers an army corps con- (
slsts of 40.000 men. It is made up of
three Infantry divisions, each having a ,
proper proportion of cavalry, artillery
and departmental troops. Each divl- '
sion in turn Is made up of three bri- ,
gades and each brigade of three regi
ments. With each division there are <
also what are known as corps troops
that form the field hosidtaL bearer com
pany, pontoon troops, telegraph diri
•Ion, fleld bakery, supply columns, am
munition column, etc. Each division
has attached to It also, though not
forming an Integral part, a cai airy bri
gade for scouting aud an aerial section. 1
The army corps is one of the great ,
units of the whole army organized for j
field service—New York Times.
Tobacco Famines In Sieges.
The tobacco habit has added terribly
to the privations of many a siego in Its
last days, however much consolation It
may bring at earlier stages. "The (
leaves of the trees were all smoked
away for want of tobacco." Lady Can
nlng wrote heme concerning the siege
of Lucknow, and even bark was smoked
there In Ladysmith the men smoked 1
dried sunflower leaves and tea leaves
for many weeks before the relief.
Three weeks before the end a half
pound cake of bl&ck tobacco cost 45
shillings, a bos of Inferior cigars £5 10s.
and a packet of ten good cigarettes 25
shillings.-London Globe
Plantation of Ulster.
The "plantation of Ulster" does not
refer to a plantation (farm* in the com
mon sense of that word. It is the
name that was given to the planting
(settling) of Scotch and English Immi
grants upon the Ulster lands that had
been cleared of Its former Irish inhab
itants by the English King James;
hence the name "Scotch-Irish," the de
scendants of the Scotch and English
settlers In the north of Ireland.—New
York American.
Takes Expertness.
"It must injure a sleight of hand art
ist to explain his tricks."
"Not at all. Now. take the latest ex
pose in high finance."
"What of it?"
"You see exactly bow the trick was |
done and yet you can't do It"—Louis
ville Courier-JournaL
Why. of Course.
"What are the twins called?" asked
one neighbor of the other.
"Henrietta," was the reply
"But not both of them, surely?" said
the first in surprise.
"Certainly not." was the truculent
answer "One Is Henry, and the other
is Etta."—Ladies' Home Journal. ?
Not Moved That Way.
"Are you ever moved by a sublimated
*1 truism 7"
"No. As a rule, we get the moving
auto truck vans." — Baltimore Ameri
can.

When Turkey Barred Coffee.
It Is bard to realize that there was a
time when the sultans of Turkey pass
ed the most stringent laws a pains;
coffee drinking The same time these
laws were passed Turks were forbid
den to sm^ke tobacco. Tet at the pres
ent day the Turk can hardly be thought
of without his pipe or cigarette and
his cup of coffee.
Sultan Murad IV. made It an offense
In 1033. punishable by death, to drink
coffee or to smoke. It is related that
so determined was he to abolish these
"bad Indulgences-' that he used to
walk about Constantinople in disguise
to detect any offender against the law
In those early days coffee was de
nounced by preachers as one of the
four ministers of the devil, the other
three being tobacco, opium and wine.
The Ches* Automaton.
Baron Kempeien of Hungary began
to astonish the civilized world of En
rope about 1700 with his chess autom
»ton. This was apparently a figure
controlled by mechanical devices and
which was able, notwithstanding the
fact that apparently no intelligence
was coucerued In Its movements and
decisions, generally to beat Its human
intagonlsts The cabinet connected
with the automaton api>cared entirely
:oo small to contain a bidden operator
And yet It did com-eal a man who was

Polish |>atr1ot who had lost both of his
tags— perhaps in the war over Poland.
Hils man. Woronsky by name, was an
•Xpert player With him bidden in the

Weeping Willowa.
It is recorded that about the year
174S a resident at Twickenham planted
i "weeping willow" tree which had
:>een sent to him from the river
Euphrates, western Asia. The tree
Jourlsbed, and subsequently It became
:be custom to plant It In cemeteries,
jwlng to the graceful droop of Its
jranches. There is a legend to the ef
fect that this was the tree upon which j
:he exiled Jews hung their harps as
;bey sat down and wept by the waters
>f Babylon and that it was the weight
>f their harps that first caused the j
xraghs to droop.
Three Fears.
For most men life Is a modified {
elgn of terror. Three fears get np j
rleh them In the morning and go to j
ied with them at night. They do not
onfess to one another that they are
frald, but their wives know.
At night, after the children have
>een sent to bed. they sit by the fire,
he average man and his wife, and face
heir three fears:
First—The fear of the loss of the job
Second.—The fear of bad health.
Third.—The fear of a dependent old
