"There:" said Nettie Valentine, -one of the pink maids; "It think that U quite perfect; don't you, girls?"' "Yes, lovely," murmured Tbersea Evans, one of the blues. "You mu .t go down now, of course," as an im patient knock came at the door. "Let us sav good-by to Pauline —I'auline Desmond for th.; last time." "I do wish, dear." said Fannie Gra ham. the maid of honor, "that you could have made up your mind to in sist that he should take your name in stead of you his. 15ut you will write it with a hyphen, won't you?" "Of course, girls; we all promised, and I certainly will." "And you won't forget what else you promised?" said several voices. "Xo, girls. You may depend on me. Yes, mamma, I am ready ' ■ Five minutes later the bride and groom stood at the head of the long parlor, in front of the bay window where the clergyman had been await ing them. Frank Laev was a fine young fellow, and they made a handsome couple. To be sure one of her bridesmaid.s (the blue one who had kept on her eye glasses) had her opinion of Pauline, in that she preferred the Greek profes sor; but then, you know, the professor was pretty old. and. as ho never talked in society, it was not generally sup posed that he understood English as well as Greek. Then there was Mr. Midas, thought one of the pink bridesmaids. Pauline was a simpleton there. But, after all, it was jti.st as well, and when he tools notice again— At this point the pink maid's atten tion came back to the sentence the min ister was just finishing. " —so long as you both shall live?" 1 It was the bride's turn to say: "1 will," as the groom had just said it. I'auline stood erect. She raised her J dark eyes and fixed them upon the face of the questioner. She was pale, but it was with an earnest purpose, not with nervousness. "I will do all these thiags." she re-1 plied, "except that I will not obey bim." Everyone was taken by surprise, ex cept the five girls who stood about the bride There was a profound bush "t AM THIS BRAVE BRIDE." while the clock on the mantel ticked ten times. "Frank," she said, turning to her half-made husband, "you do not wish in» to make this monstrous promise to drag this relic of the middle age— of the times when women were slavei and plaf things of men—into our lives} You do not expect this of me, Frank?" ("Because if he does," murmured the tall usher to the pink bridesmaid, "he is very sanguine, and will apparently be disappointed—like England, you know.") "It is I that you wish for, not a serv ant; is it not so, Frank?" "Certainly, Pauline; you need-not say it; but why couldn't you have arranged this quietly beforehand?" "Because I wished to do it now—My friends," she said, turning to the as sembled guests, "am I not right? It is for you, my sisters, that Ido this. A recent writer has said: 'Would tl at some woman would have courage 'C make a scene, if necessary, on such a occasion! It would be a glorious seme, if ehe possessed the courage and dignity to refuse for the sake of outraged womanhood to pronounce tlio mon strous promise. It would be woman's splendid declaration of independence. The brave bride would be the heroine of the hour. She would do more than a thousand sermons to wipe out this blot upon the nineteenth century!'" ("(Quoted correctly," whispered the blue maid. "What a memory Pauline has!") "I am this brave bride, my friends— Now we will go on," she said, turning to the minister. The service proceeded. The bride did not spoil her point by refusing to be given away. The vows were made (leaving out the obnoxious word). Then came the nervous moment while the best man fumbled for the ring. He had not lost it. Ho gave it to the man who gave it to the woman, who gave it to the minister, who gave it to the man, while the nineteenth centarv stood by and consented. The groom placed it upon the finger of the bride and hesitated over the words he was to say: "With this ring 1 thee wed —" "And with all my worldly goods I thee endow," prompted the minister. "No," said Frank, abruptly. "Not all of them." The clock ticked again. "My friends," said Frank, turning to the company, "my brothers, 1 call you to my support. Why should a man be expected century after century to make this monstrous promise? Why should we give all our property to our wives?" ("It's not a bad plan, sometimes," said Uncle Canticld. of Canfield, Drew Jt Co., but nobody heard him.) "Why should a man be expected to bring home all his mon ey, like a model little boy in a Sunday school book? Let us throw off the yoke, and our wives will respect us the more. There are nine hundred and seventy-eight employments open to women where there were formerly but six. They are able to get worldly goods for themselves. Pauline. I know it is me that you wish for, not my money." ("It is I," murmured the blue maid, mechauically.) ("Mean old thing!" said the pink maid to the tall usher. "Mr. Midas wouldn't have done so.") "You can go on now," Frank said to the minister. "Wait Perhaps you had better not go on," said the bride's mother, nerv BTTTLTCR. FA., FRIDAY, JUNE 23, 1893. "I should think not," said Aunt So phia, severely, to the bride's sister. "You know I never approved of your forms, and you see what comes of them. They had better wait a couple of weeks and join some church where they don't have their*." "I wish they would," whispered one guest to her sister. "They d have to Live back tho present-;, and that pic '.; ;'jr Oulck Motion*, and Hence Appear to Hr Fascinated. A snake-charmer can, by a simple motion of his hand, make a moving snaka stop instantly, writes G. It O'Reilly in St. Nicholas. "The reason is this: A snake is a most timid animal. His eyes, as has been said before, while dull to color and fomi, are quick to motion, es pecially if it is rapid. If any large thing moves very quickly too near him he gets frightened and scurries off; while at certain distances the motion stops him if he is moving. He stops from astonishment, fear, or the wish to sec what »» It that moves. Hence, he glides on, unconscious of the charmer's presence near him so long as the latter remains perfectly quiet; the snake doesn't know him from a tree or a rock. But when he gives a sudden evi dence of life, the snake is astonished and immediately remains stock-still. "In India and Africa the charmers pretend the snakes danco to the music, but they do not, for they never hear it A snake hits no external ears, and per haps gets evidence of sound only through his skin, when sound causes bodies in contact with him to vibrate. They hear also through the nerves of the tongue,-but do not at all compre hend sound as ive do. But the snake's eyes are very much alive to tho mo tions of the charmer, or to the moving drumsticks of his confederate; and, be ing alarmed, he prepares to strike. A dancing cobra (and no other snakes dance) is simply a cobra alarmed and in a posture of attack. He is not danc ing to the music, but is making ready to strike the charmer." INDIA'S INFINITE VARIETY. iier Society ami Her Betmmry (>jiupl»x »otr of tlir llfarried Hesnty h Conitn?. A learned German, who has devoted himself to the study of physiology, an thropology and allied sciences, makes the rather startling assertion that mustaches are becoming commoner among the women in the present day than in the past. Ho says, as quoted by the London Standard, that in Con stantinople. among the unveiled wom en that are to 1h» met with, one out of ten possossesan unmistakable covering of down on the upper lip. In the capi tal of Spain. a?ain. the proportion of ladies with this masculine characteris tic is said to be quite equal to that ob servable on the Golden Horn. An American medical man states that in Philadelphia fully three per cent, of the adult fair sex are similarly adorned. and probably the proportion would be still larger but that many women take the trouble to eradicate the unwelcome growth by the applica tion of depilatory preparations. Is this increase in the number of women with hair on their faces to be regarded as a sign that the hurnun race is im proving? Very few men, at all events, will be disposed to consider that a mustache adds to the charms of the op posite sex. Englishmen, indeed, only u generation ago, had such a detestation of mustaches and beards that the prac tice of shaving all hair off their face down to their mutton-chop whisker was all but universal. From one ex treme our clean-shaven fathers plunged into the other, and beards and mustaches rapidly became the fashion. The fashion has of late years again been modified. Beards are less common, but the mustache is cultivated in England as widely a.-> on the continent. But why should the fair sex be visited by this infliction? Some writers on ethnology hold that the higher races of mankind are al ways the hairier, and Mr. Mott thinks that in a few centuries men and wom en will all be clothed with hair. SPLENDOR OF THE ESCURIAL. Gorgeous Tomb of All Spanl-th King* Since the Time of Charles V. "On leaving the sacristy we descend into the royal tomb or pantheon, for such is the term given by the Catholic Spaniards to a Christian burial place," says a writer in Harper's Magazine. "Thiavault. placed exactly beneath the high altar of the church, is an oc tagon room thirty-six feet in diameter and thirty-oight feet high. You de scend into it by means of a staircase whose walls are lined with green and yellow polished jasper. The walls of the pantheon are polished marble, porphyry and jasper, richly ornament ed with gilt-bronze capitals, bases and angels, the whole executed by Italian artists after the death of Philip 11. As an inscription informs us. the founder of the escurial built only a simple vault. Philip 111. begau the present gorgeous structure in 1017. Philip IV. completed it and moved in the royal bodies on March 17, 1654, after Diego de Velasquez had, with his own hands, fixed in its place the bronzo crueifix, by Pedro Tacca, which he had brought back from Italy. The octagon walls contain twenty-six niches or shelves, on each of which is a gray marble sar cophagus or urn of classical shape. On the left are the kings and on the right the mothers of kings, from Charles V. down to our times. In 1054 Philip IV. opened the urn containing the remains of Charles V., and, after looking awhile at the mummified body, he said, laconically, to Luis de Haro: 'Don Luis, cuerpo honrado.' To which the prime minister replied: 'Si, senor, muy honrado.' Charles 11. also opened this august sarcophagus, which was again opened by Ferdinand VII. after the French invasion, and once more in 1»7«, i.lien the aspect of the nv.:sw\y was carefully reproduced by a painter of Madrid, and photographs of this picture now enable curious tourists to carry away with them an authentic portrait of the corpse of the great em peror." "THOU ART THE MAN." A Bit of Itomuiii-F froui One of Mr. Walter llrasant's Hooka. Walter Besant gives usa pretty bit of romance in his own peculiar fashion in "The Voice of the Flying Day." The physician was young, he says; so was the patient. The case was strange; none of the symptoms corresponded with any known disease. The physi cian came every day, and the more he came the worse grew the patient. Presently the physician began to sus pect that the trouble was mental—of the heart, perhaps—and at last he charged the patient with the thjng. "I believe," he said, "that there is nothing in the world the matter with you, but that you are in love," and, with blushes and tears, the patient pleaded guilty to the charge. "And does the man know?" "Alas," she replied, "he does not even suspect." "Can you tell him?" "Never." And then the. physician pleaded with the patient that she should tell him who it was, that a physician is a father confessor, and that it might relieve her to confess all to him. "Since you have asked me," she said, with confusion, "come to-morrow, then perhaps if I can, I will tell you." And when the morrow came the pa tient put into his hand a little slip of paper, on which was written only 11. Sam., xii. 7. And for fear that you will not know where your Bible is to look it up, 1 will tell you the words of the text are: "And Nathan said to Da vid, Thou art the man." An Art G'rltlciaui. "The audacity of ignorance is a nev er-failing wonder and amusement," says a painter. "I stood one day be fore Sistiue Madonna, rapped in rever ential awe. Others turned away, tears rolling down their cheeks, their hands clasped in ecstasy. Suddenly a shrill woman's voice broke the stillness. She was sitting before the painting gazing at it reflectively. "It is really a very pretty picture," she said. "The bend of the Virgin's arm is good." Quarry man—Biddy!
