Norway Maid Gorgeous
in Her Bridal Finery
A wedding feast in Norway used
to be an affair that stirred the im-
‘agination of the whole countryside,
and there are some beautiful pictures
with the bridal couple mounted on
‘their strong mountain ponies heading
the long procession of guests in
painted carts and wagonettes making
their way to the village church, writes
‘Karin Lilja Whyte in the Londor
Daily Chronicle.
On the flowing golden hair of the
pride rested a crown, which was usu-
‘ally the property of the parish and a
piece of handicraft showing the high
‘standard of efficiency reached by the
Norwegian goldsmiths.
She would wear a national costume
richly ‘embroidered in the bright
colors prescribed by custom, and her
snow-white skirt would be of the fin-
est home fabric with exquisitely
stitched drawn-thread work. Adorn-
ing her neck and breast were heir-
looms of chains with clasps and buck-
les, fine specimens of filigree with
semi-precious stones.
For that one day she was the queen
of queens, and her stately bride-
|groom, more modestly attired in @
‘dark costume, would be entirely out-
shone,
All Countries Readily
Follow America’s Lead
Through the aid of American labor-
saving devices and American movies
and American educational institu-
tions, the whole world is becoming
Americanized, The sanitary toilet
processes of this country -are being
adopted abroad through the instru-
mentality of the movie reels. Left-
‘hand right-of-way is being displaced
all over the world in favor of the
right-hand driving, which has been
the rule in this country. The type-
writer was adopted in offices in vari-
ous parts of the world years ago and
it has paved the way for accounting
machines and other pieces of office
mechanism, It is no source of pride
that we taught the world the delights
of the chewing-gum habit, but it is
another case where the foreigners
have followed the American lead.
American griddle cakes and sirup
have been successfully introduced
into Japan, demanded, it is said, by
students who have been in this coun-
try for their education.
Great Soldier’s Birthmonth
The merry month of May gave.
‘many great men to the world. To
Ireland it gave the duke of Welling-
ton. When the lads and lasses of the
land were dancing round the May-
poles and the cottages were all be-
decked, Milady of Mornington house
in Dublin was delivered of her fourth
son. She did not think, when the
nurse brought in. the red-faced,
puckery little -atom, that he was’ to
be the conqueror of England's great-
est foe, that he was to be honored by
his country and by his sovereign as
man is seldom honored. . . It
never occurred to her, for example,
that one day, the queen of her coun-
try would name a child after this red-
faced, puckery little thing the nurse
brought in... . .
Yet all these things came to be.
Which proves that May has many
secrets up her flowery sleeve and you
never know when she is going to drop
one.—Exchange.
Wanted to Seize Cuba
The Ostend manifesto was a dis-
patch sent in 1854 to the United
States government by the American
ministers, at the courts of Great Brit-
ain, France and Spain, who had met
in the city of Ostend for conference
on the Cuban question. The dispatch
stated that if Spain would not sell
Cuba, the United States “would be
justified under the laws of self-preser-
vation to tuke the island by force and
prevent it being Africunized like Hai-
ti.” It advised offering Spain $120,-
000,000 for the island. This recom-
mendation was not accepted by the
congress.
No Stop Sign
Little Charles, only three years old,
likes to visit his grandmother, who
lives in English avenue, He can go
out his back gate and across the al-
ley to her back gate very easily. He
and his little brother and sister are
quarantined with the whooping
cough, therefore he cannot go visit-
ing. He was begging his mother to
let him go to grandma's when she
told him he could not go over there
while the sign was on the house.
Charles quickly replied: “The sign
isn’t on the back of the house.”—In-
dianapolis News.
“Black Monday”
Stow’s Chronicle relates that the
original Black Monday was on April
14, 1360—the “morrow after Easter.”
King Edward III, with his army, “lay
before the city of Paris, which day
was full dark of mist and hail and so
bitter cold that many men died on
their horsebacks with cold; where-
fore until this day it hath been called
‘Black Monday.’ ”
Clothes Pin
Bernice, age four and a half, on
seeing a safety pin on her mother’s
dress, said: “Mother, may I have
that clothes pin?”
Mother, somewhat surprised, re-
plied: “Dear, that isn’t a clothes pin.”
Bernice, thinking for a moment, re-
marked: “Well, mother, it closes,
doesn’t it?”

‘Democratic
Pc'itics Had No Part
in Tammany’s Founding
The Tammany society in New York
was founded on May 12, 1789, by Wil-
liam Mooney as a “fraternity of pa-
triots solemnly consecrated to the. in-
dependence, the popular liberty and the
federal union of the country.” In
its early history the society was a
patriotic organization, with men from
all political parties as members. The
society held its first meeting in the
old Fraunces tavern. The first Tam-
many hall was built at Nassau and
Frankfort streets in 1811, one room
being reserved for the meetings of
the society and the remainder being
rented out as a hotel. This hall
was used by the society until 1868
when their home on Fourteenth
street, between Third avenue and Irv-
ing place, was occupied. This home
was used by the Tammany society un-
til 1928, when they moved to a new
building on Union square. The so-
ciety, which was at first entirely a
social and benevolent organization,
still retains these features to some
extent, though it has become better
known as the headquarters of the
political organization

i Natural for All Dogs
to “Point” Their Prey
Even before the dawn of history,
dog helped man kill his game, accord-
ing to scientists. The first pointers
were owned by Neolithic man, who
went a-hunting in skins and with a
spear or a bow and arrows as his
weapons, the theory goes.
Originally the “pointing” of bird
dogs was only an exaggerated pause
as they prepared to leap on their
prey. Even today nearly every type
of dog will point game after a fash-
ion. The pause gave the Neolithic
hunter an opportunity to locate his
meat before it ran or flew away.
brought him a distinct advantage.
Consequently, by selection and
breeding of the best “pointers,” the
hunting dog was evolved after count-
less centuries. This theory is :d-
vanced by Iroquois Dahl in Field and
Stream.
Exemplary Bird Parents
Among the most tenacious of bird
parents are the killdeers, probably the |
most widely distributed of American
shore birds.
female incubate the eggs. When one
fs scared trom the nest the other
steals behind the intruder and takes
its place. These birds are experts at
the “broken wing” act with men, dogs
and predatory animals to draw them
away from the nests, but with hoofed
animals, which might step on the eggs,
they adopt an attitude of defiance.
They will spread their wings and run
into the animal’s face, trying to star-
tle it.
By Installments
All the morning she had been try-
ing to teach her small pupils the
mysteries of simple addition,
One small boy seemed far behind
the others at grasping even the sim-
plest ideas.
“Look here, Bobby!” she said, for
the fifth time. *Let’s suppose your
father saves $5 every week for four
weeks. What will he have at the end
of that time?”
Bobby had his answer ready.
‘A phonograph, a new suit, a wire
less set, and new furniture for the
house,” he replied, proudly.
Disseminates Knowledge
The National Geographic society
was founded in 1888. The object of
the society is to obtain and dissem-
inate geographical knowledge. This is
attained in the first instance by mem-
bers’ undertaking distant travels at
their own expense in some cases, and
in others assisted by the funds of the
society or grants from the govern-
ment; and in the second instance by
lectures delivered and works issued |
under the auspices of the society, or
by papers read and commented on at
periodical meetings.
Snakes and Prairie Dogs
It is often said that rattlesnakes
live in prairie dog colonies, where
they dwell in peace with the prairie
dogs and with burrowing owls.
“The peacefulness of this relation.”
says Dr. Karl P. Schmidt of the
Field museum in Chicago, “is certain-
ly open to question, in view of the
rattlesnake’s fondness for small
mammals as an article of diet.”
The belief that snakes and prai-
rie dogs live peacefully together is
in all probability untrue.—Pathfind-
er Magazine.
To Earn His Pay
Two football teams had played a
number of drawn matches and it was
decided to engage a professional ref-
eree for a deciding game.
A well-known official was ap
proached by a party of tough-looking
men.
“All right,” said the referee. “I'L
oblige you. What fee do you offer
for my services?”
“Well,” said one of the men, “thay
depends on how badly you're hurt.”
A Strike-Breaker
Mrs. Goodsole—Well! You're the

NEW SPEED LAW
EFFECTIVE ON JUNE 1.-
Because of misunderstanding on
the part of many motorists as to the
date when the new 40 milespeed-li-
mit in Pennsylvania becomes effec-
tive, the Keystone Automobile Club;
issued a statement, emphasizing that
the increased speed provision. would
be operative June 1. i553
“Numerous car owners,” says the
statement “are under the impression
that the 40-mile maximum speed be-
came lawful with the passage of the
amended Vehicle Code. This view is
erroneous, as most of the provisions
of the Code went into effect June 1.
Other points of interest to themo-
toring public are mentioned in the
Kystone Club statement, wihch ex-
plains that the amended Code has
clarified two important matters in -
relation to the “Through Traffic
Stop” provision.
“Boroughs now are included in the
section empowering the erection of
the ‘Stop’ signs,” says the statement.
“Omission of boroughs from the or-
iginal code led to much confusuion,
especially after motorists had been
fined in boroughs for failure to ob-
serve the signs. As pointed outu by
the Club several weeks ago, the State
refused to acept fines imposed for
such offenses. 3
“Another clarifying clause has been
added to the law, providing that ve-
hicles shall not be subject to the ‘stop”
sign at an interesction during the
hours when a traffic signal is actual-
ly in operation, or where a peace of-
ficer is actually on duty directing
traffic.
“Motorists in the past year have
frequently been in a quandary at in-
tersections protected by signals and
the ‘stop’ signs. The intent of the
authorities was to have the ‘stop”
signs guard the through route when
the signal light was not in operation,
but many motorists played safe’ and
stopped regardless of the signal to
proceed, with the result that traffic
frequently was congested at such
points.”
