THE SCKAXTON TRIBUNE SA TTJBDAY MOUSING, OCTOBER C, 1894.
A - A
1
Reader of this column will be inter
ested in a brief account of one of tbe
most original aud unique weddiug an
niversaries celebrated iu this region.
It illustrates wbat an ingenious boat
aud hostess can do to relieve tbe gath
ering of even tbe slightest degree of
formal stiffness. Allusion ia made to
tbe celebration of tbe twenty-flret an
niversary of Professor and Mrs. C.
Coles at'Kiugston recently.
The word "Welcome" was emblaz
oned over the portal, aud indeed made
each Kuewt feel that the occasion was
to mean something at least more than
a mere matter of social form. On en
tering the door the visitors were greeted
by Professor Cole attired in his wed
ding suit of more than a score of years
before. This happy deviance from tbe
stereotyped custom of being admitted
by a servant and not meeting the host
until after descending from the dressing-room,
was the second notable ab
sence of conventionality.
The guests were agreeably disap
pointed in any anticipations tbey may
nave had of "refreshments" included
in the same old, old list of salad, rried
oysters, patties, hashed chicken sand
wiches, chips, ice cream, coffee and
rake. Instead of "refreshments,"
which makes one's flesh creep nowa
days if attending more than two social
attairs a week, an "astrological lunch"
was served by the host aud hostess
nnd their daughter. It was the most
uovel feature of the evening and was
a'- artistic as it was original.
The lunch was selected by chance
from an elaborate menu, each person
being restricted to a half dozen arti
cles, though later no restriction of kind
o; quality was made. This was done
by passing a plate of cards, blank side
up, containing' the names of the arti
cles on the menu list. Each guest
drew six cards, and was supplied with
the articles corresponding to tbe name
on the card. If the guest drew more
than one of a kind: he was permitted
another chance, announcing aloud his
choice. Each article was appropri
ately illustrated on the card, as follows:
Hetrt Sandwich,
Fried Chicken,
i ocoa uake,
Variety Candy,
Garfield Grapes,
J cm) Banana,
JJHon Pencil.
Pickled Candy,
Bmoked Oyster.
Proverb Biscuit,

Scranton many prominent society and
musical people of Wilkes Birr were
inolnded in tue exit. Substqiv ntly the
opera whs purchased by J. Uldgway
Wright and an attempt was made to
bring it into pnblio favor. Tbe com
position was taken to Pniladepbia and
the libretto wai re-written with tbe
view of reducing the east of ohuraut-is
Hnd tbe name of "smith Family was

Scranton, abont five or six year ago.
It wa under tbe name of Elanor,
1th Ida Mali in the title role. Upon
tbe last presentation In Scranton tbe
opera was handsomely mounted and
wac Interpreted by an excellent com-
paiy. The aire were tunerni ana
catchy: tbe libretto was bright, but
tor tome resson tbe opera was not a

road tbe company disbanded and "Tbe
Smith Family" wa placed upon tbe

SOME HEALTH HINTS.
f or the Saturday Tribune.
Woman, it is claimed by high au
thority, has the advantage of man as
regards longevity; she sutlers less trom
accidents, injuries and many forms of
disease; sue is, in fact, more tenacious
than man of tue limited enjoyments
allowed her. Dr. Brandreth Symonds
has collected and studied a large num
ber of statistics to illustrate tills inter
estiug fact. The comparative mortal
ity of tha sexes at different ages shows
tnat in tne nrst year or lire tne mortal
ity of the female is much less than that
of the male, being at birth 92.04 per
1,000 as against 112.80, and at tbe end
of the vear 31.87 as against 35.03. The
difference continues up to the fourth
vear. From 5 to 12 the female mortali
ty is greater than that of tbe male,
being at the latter period 3.56 for males
and 4.28 for females. At the age of 40
tbe male mortality equals that of the
female, toe latter naving been up to
this time slightly in excess. During
the years 46 and 56, the period of the
climacteric, the male mortality gains
rapidly on tbe female, being 0.32 per
annum for the one and only 3.47 for
the other. Hence the climacteric is
really a much more serious time for
man than for woman. After 55 the
female mortality gains on that of the
male, but is always slightly below it.
Woman nas not only a less mortality,
but greater longevity than man.
There is, also, a plurality of female
blrtbs.

A enp of clam broth made from fresh
clams and unseasoned is a most accept
able bit of nourishment after a sick
headache. Often the stomach will tol
erate it when all other forms of food
are exceedingly distasteful. The broth
should be made strong and can then
be diluted according to taste. A little
of it may be frozen, or diluted with ice-
water. If cold rood is advisable. If at
a distance from supplies, it is well to
have few Dot ties of clam mice in tne
storeroom.
II II II
Fleshy women should avoid every
thing in the shape of liquors (especially
beer), starchy cereals, like cornmeal,
hominy, rye, oatmeal and brown
bread; also they should avoid too much
seasoning in tlie way of salt, pepper or
sauces; these ceate an unnatural thirst
which nothing but liquid of some kind
can quench. And water enters largely
into tue composition ot tat. Meats can
be eaten freely, as they enter into mus
cle, not fat. Fleshy people should ex
ereise vigorously every day and not. be
given to too many hours of sleep. They
should also sleep on hard beds; rani
pering the body in habits of luxury
predisposes oue to embonpoint.

A noteworthy feature of the congress
of physicians at Vienna a few days ago
was the discussion of the discovery of
i rotessor Uehring, of Halle, or a cure
for diphtheria by the inoculation of the
i .i , i . 4 I,. 1 1 i
moon oi uif parieni wim uioou serum,
Professor liehriiig, in an interview
said It was his belief that his discovery
would eventually tie applied as a cure
for typhus fever, cholera and ptieu
monla He contended that inocula
tion for diphtheria ought to be com
piilsnry, the fame as in the treatment
of smallpox. During the debate in the
congress, rroiessor unriicn, or Herun
stated his belief that the milk of inocu
lated animals would tend to asxist in
effecting cures. In support of Profes
sor Hen ring's Idea he held that blood
serum was as powerful against dtpn
therla as vaccine wm against small
pox. The present expense of procur
ing the blood serum puts it beyond tne
reach of most persons, as it is manu
factured in only two places in Ger
many, in Hoechst, near Frankfort, and
Berlin. Two Injections of the remedy
cost $7.20, and as many cases require
six, the costliness of the treatment may
readily be seen. Despite tne expense
however, the treatment haa already
been applied to a great extent in tbe
larger hospitals In Germany and Aub
tria.

Health for thi Million:
Don't use towels provided for general
use in publio lavatories, restaurants
and sometimes hi schools. They have
been found by microscopic investiga
tion to contain bacteria ot several con
tagious diseases.
Don't swallow grape seeds. They
were not meant to form part or any
civilized man's meal. Imagine your
stomach trying o digest teacupful of
peDbies. urape seeds are even worse
than pebbles, because their sharp ends
tear the delicate lining of the stomach
and intestines and may at any time

The Earl of Rose ber v on opening
the annual exhibition of Highland in
dustries and arts at Inverness, Scot
land, was presented with the freedom
of the city. He was assured by "Pro
vost" K.)ss that all parlies in tbe
burg, Whig and Tory alike, had sunk
political differences and with heartv
good will welcomed the prime minister
of the Highlands. Lord Rosebery
commenced his speech with a sly dig
at the critics who look with distrust
upon his so-called "youthfulness," and
remarked that the days were approach
ing when a man would come of age at
fifty or sixty! He apiluuded the sen
timent that prompted the people to
combine to honor bun and at the same
time lay aside all their polit cal differ
ences of opinion, and regarded such a
feature as singular and peculiar to this
country alone, aud explained his rea
sons for his asseveration by pointing
to the age of the countrv and the long
p oliticaleducation and experience its
nbaoitants nave undergone. He re
marked with some warmth that "he
could not go over the long line of
statesmen who have held cabinet office
since the beginning of the century and
nnd one who has lett a name to be
ashamed of." Throughout the speech
was of a social nature aud carefully
avoided party polities. Lord Rose
bery was presented with a massive
gold ring to commemorate his being
"wedded to tne burgu."

rhames. The barges will be battened
down at the port of departure and will
not carry any steering gear. The latest
tning in torpedo boats is "just out."
The latest thing's name Is the Daring,
and is one of the fastest boats that has
ever been constructed, its speed on a
trial trip showing twenty-uine miles,
In addition to n powerful torpedo
equipment the Daring carrys one 12-
pounder and three b-pounder quick
bring guns. The miners In various
parts of Scotland are still on strike and
are causing considerable trouble. At a
place called Motherwell a riot took
place and the police had a somewhat
ively time of it, several being injured.
The latest is a telegram to Mr. Asquith,
the house secretary, irom the secretary
or the bcottmu Miners' federation
"A brutal aud unwarrantable attack by
English 'crastables on unoffending
miners, women and children at Mother
well last night, iliners urgently de
mand immediate public inquiry by
you in person." tor pure uuaduitur
aled cheek this is hard to beat!
A remarkable diniinuation in the
number of convicts sent to peual servi
tude is shown in last year's records of
tbe prisons report. In 1859 the popn
lation was 19,259,000, and the number
of prisoners sentenced to penal servi
tude was 2,589. Last year the Inhabl
tants had increased by 10,000,000 and
tbe penal servitude prisoners numbered
only 833. Civilization cannot after all
(despite alarming newspaper contribu
tors) be a failure with such results to
show.
The hop pickers have had a wonder
fully good year and wages ha,ve ruled
high. The crops, despite the rain, are
good generally nd the farmer is for
lorn, for he really has but little to
grumble at, which is distinctly hard
Hues on the liritisn agriculturist.
Sir Augustus Harris bas scored an
other success with his new melodrama,
Every Christmas "Gussy" produces ut
old Drury Lane theater a new panto
mime and the papers say the knight of
the boards has once more surpassed
himself, and every autumn he brings
on a new drama and tbe critics aver
that it is the "best thing Harris has
giveu u," and indeed tbe "Derby
Winner" Is worthy or great praise,
The niece is full of daring novelties.
In it ve have a woman who acts
through one entire scene ou horseback,
a "new" woman of theoigarette-smok
ing-gum-slangy school, training sta
bles, a race course and a real live race,
a military bull and other "plums." A
curious incident took place on the
opening night. In the great race scene
the awful "vtllitis" Uee-Uee should, or
course, get a bad beating, whilst that
of the hero should win hands down
But the Inst named horse would do
nothing but iibb, and instead of land
ing 50,000, the aforexaid hero evident
ly lost that amount. Many pieces
would be abso'utely wre Red by such
an incident, but the drama was of such
an interesting character throughout
that I lie uiisliun oul v caused good hti
mored amusemeut. Harris, iu a short
speech after tne fall ol the curtain
scored" happily wheu he assured the
audience that he was at thewinuiug
post and saw the hero's horse come in
nrst.
Another notable first night was the
fair Lillian Russell's appearance in a
new piece entitled the "Queen of Bril
liants." Lillian is of course the queen,

Road racing among our wheelmen is
extremely popular, especially on that
roau Known as tne "north." uut our
noble police authorities object to as
much as the sportsmen love the excit
ing tnougn somewhat dangerous road
"scorching." So after warning the
promoters of the "North road twenty
four hours' ride," they posted them
selves at intervals along the advertised
route; but the wily wheelmen altered
the track and the race came off, al
though several competitors lost their
way, aud the men in blue leant against
the lamp posts and banks and only

names and addresses of a few rash
youths who chanced, riding after pro

thi Bsncb is due to Carwen't tonla

A few word with regard to the dis
advantages under whioh th Welsh
labor. We often bear the remark that
if tbe Welsh are to uutiaal, how it it
that they bare not produeed a
Mozart, Handel or Haydn. Tbe an
swer it easy, unfortunately the came
it blind patriotism. Men like Dr.
Parry, Owain Alaw, Ambrose Lloyd
David Jenkint and other tbrongh een
turlet have eompoted for the Welsh
rxprteily and no one else, and on tbe
other hand tbe Wtlth bave been satis
