fsw ELOPEMENTS IN MEXICO
Law Against Too-Youthful Marriages
Most 8trlctly Enforced In
the Republic.
“Not long since, while in San An
tonio, Tex., I stopped at a hotel in
the parlors of which occurred a very
pretty and romantic wedding,” said
Mr. E. V. Turner of Memphis,
Tenn., at the Stafford.
"The principals were a yoimg
Mexican of great wealth and high
social position and a beautiful
young woman of the same nation
ality. They had traveled over 1,000
miles to get married in the United
States, for, owing to the rigid laws
of their own land, they were not able
to wed at home. The reason was the
bride’s youthfulness. She was only
17, and in Mexico, unless the fair
one’s parents and guardians agree no
priest dare join in wedlock if the
woman be under 21. In the sister
republic they punish severely for
any infraction of this statute, and
hence runaway marriages are of the
most unusual occurrence.”—Balti

THE MODERN CHILD.
"Please, ma’am, Is your son Jimmie
In?"
"Why, yea; are you one of his lit

COLO STORAGE OP EGGS.
A comparative test of the Ameri
can plan of freezing eggs to preserve
them with the method of treating
with lime has been made by a scien
tific French experimenter. The re
frigeration process is pronounced
hygienically superior. At low tem
perature, even when continued sev
eral months, there is no perceptible
change in the taste or properties of
an egg, the yolk retains its position
instead of falling to the lower end
as in lime preservation, and the only
change in appearance is a little
greater whiteness. It is necessary,
however, to keep the temperature
about two degrees Fahrenheit below
freezing point, with the hygrometer
as near 78 degrees as possible.
TO PACK EGGS FOR WINTER.
Egg are expensive in winter and
though we pay high prices for
“fresh eggs” they are usually “fresh”
from cold storage. Here is a method
of packing your own:
Get fresh eggs just laid, along
about the last of September. Take
a four-gallon earthenware jar; put
a two-inch layer of salt in the bot
tom ; then stand each egg with small
end down in the salt until the bot
tom i6 filled. Then keep on filling
till jar is full. Do not add any
more salt, for it will harden and the
eggs will break in getting them out.
The salt that is used is only for the
foundation.
LIKES THE SIMPLE LIFE.
The duchess of Marlborough is
said to have inherited many of her
good qualities from her mother, who
is really fonder of the simple life
than of the round of social duties
with which she has always been con
nected. She has a fine sense of
humor, but is never satirical, and
consequently her friends are general
ly good friends.
HOLD WITTE IN RESERVE.
Count Sergius Witte is not only
no longer at the helm of the Russian
government, but stands almost alone
even in the council of the empire.
Nevertheless a strong feeling pre
vails that Count Witte’s day is not
done, but that he will be recalled in
the first emergency.
JUST TO FOOL OSLER.
‘1 find that it is quite common for
men to dye their hair over here on
the East side,” said the woman who
lives there, “and not from motives
of vanity, either. Old, gray-haired
men can’t get any work to do over
i here.”—N. Y. Press.
WANTED TO KEEP A CUTTING
High Compliment Paid Vleltlng Amer
ican Cleric by Englleh
Gardener.
A clerical correspondent of the
Church Family Newspaper vouchee
for the following: A distinguished
American bishop, a man of fine
physique, preached a very powerful
sermon in an ancient parish church
in the midlands of England the
other Sunday morning. One of the
features of this church is an old
beadle who is noted for the quaint
ness of his sayings and the trim ap
pearance of his garden. After the
morning service the vicar said:
"Well, what did you think of the
bishop from across the water ?”
"Ah, sir,” was the beadle’s reply,
"one of the best sermons ever
preached in this church. He is a
grand ’un; pity we can’t strike some
cuttings from him before he goes
back to America.”

LARGEST MOUNTAIN LION.
The largest mountain lion ever
killed in southern California was
shot recently by William Dewey of
Riverside.
Dewey, who had been staying at
Camp Baynham in San Antonio
Canon, was walking on the trail to
“Old Baldy” with two companions.
When about two miles from camp,
as the party approached Telegraph
Peak, Dewey saw the huge beast
standing on a ledge 15 feet above
them. Without a word to his com
panions Dewey raised his rifle and
fired with deadly effect and the lion
roiled down the slope to the trail,
lying at Dewey’s feet almost before
his surprised companions had time
to turn about.—Claremont corre
spondence Los Angeles Times.
WOMEN OYSTER GATHERERS.
The work of oyster collecting and
culture is most unsuitable for wom
en, but in France, owing to Ha tedi
ous nature, it does not appeal to
men.
Often from an early hour in the
morning till late into the evening
the women are standing up to the
knees in water, with a strong sun
heating down on them. The result
is that never a year passes without
some of them going mad and having
to be hurried away to the asylums.
The work is well paid, as indeed
it ought to be, while in the case of
the few who own beds the profits are
large and small fortunes are quickly
amassed.—Woman's Life.
OUT OF HARMONY.
“The sound* of the city streets are
like the sounds of the country," said
the woman. “The screech of the
pulleys as the washerwomen draw in
the lines is like the song of birds.
The whirr of the elevated if you lis
ten enough, is like the waterfall
over the mill dam. The electric fans
at the cafes are like the humming
af bee*, tfhe cry of the *E ca*h
doe* f man has the guttural sound
of the bullfrog. But the yell of the
‘line-up’ man is like nothing on the
earth, above the earth, or under the
waters thereof.”—N. Y. Press.
LARGEST KNOWN FLOWERS.
The largest known flowers are
those of the rafflesia, a plant which
grows in Java. This cuplike flower
U over a yard in diameter, each of
its five round, bright red petals be
ing about a foot across. The flower
weighs over 14 pounds, smells like
putrid meat and is visited by carrion
flies. The rafflesia is a para
site on the roots of other plants. In
stead of sterna, leaves and roots, it
has a fungus-like network of fine
threads running through the “host”
plant, and the huge flowers burst out
Mkd appear above ground.

IN MEMORlUn.
Tobe Burkett, a noble young
man of 28 years, son of Mr. John
Burkett of DeView, after a several
months’ illness with consumption,
died at his father’s home at the
above place Saturday, September,
12, 1908, about 4:00 a. m.
For several years the deceased
resided iu Chicago but owing to
his health failing him he returned
to his people here to spend with
them his last days on this earth,
seemingly realizing that death was
in pursuit.
Tobe held important business
positions in Chicago and was a
true Odd Fellow. Burial took
place Sunday at 11:00 a. m., in
the Odd Fellows’ cemetery near
DeView under the honors of Mc
Crory Lodge No. 273, I. O. O. F.
A larger crowd was never seen
before at the above cemetery, it is
reported. The friends of the Bur
kett family are not a few and the
News desires to be included
among those extending condolence
to the bereaved.
