" I have only one more, foolish or

"I have tried to learn.

The explanation of this fact, which is

by going no further back than the first

IKV2 Franklin Pierce, of New Hamp

notwithstanding their supremacy in the

they would maintain their supremacy.
There had long been discontent in
Cuba with the rule of Spain, and in
lets, the year ol revolution. President
Polk, hoping to benefit by the fears of
Spain that the revolutions would extend
to the island, instucted the American

next year it got off. but accomplished
nothing, and the next year it was tiled

Lopez was captured and garroted in
Havana, and Co). Crittenden and many
otheis were shot. Crittenden was a
southerner, and veteran of the Mexican
war. though only 28 years of age; the
expedition was applauded in the south,
where no attempt was made to conceal
the object of it. Crittenden refused to
kneel with his back to his executioners,
but faced them]on his feet, saying that
he knelt only to God. His fate awak
ened intense feeling in the south, and j
especially the spirit in which he met it.

A writer says that a few of the
things we outfht to know are; That
fresh paint may be removed by rubbing
with gasoline. That salt dissolved in
alcohol will remove grass spots from
cloth. That the butter should be kept
in the refrigerator until the last minute.
That the table nhould always be so
kept as to be ready for a guest with
bnt a moment's notice. That a canton
flannel silence cloth makes your table
cloth look infinitely handsomer. That
a meal should never be announced until
everything is in readiness. That a
pinch of borax in warm water will re
move grease from the hair. That the
hair may be prevented from falling o nt
by using six grains of quinine and two
ounces of glycerine in half a pint of
whisky for two weeks; then omit for
the same time and repeat. That even
one should go out doors at least once a
day. That the sunshine and bright
flowers are a good tonic. That more
exercise and less medicine would be
beneficial to invalids. That invalids
should never be left alone, as many a
death has occurred from imprudence
when the nurse has left the room for a
moment. That good food is often bet
ter than doctor or nurse, and that prop
er nourishment will often prevent con
sumption.
Here is a diamond, here is a piece of
charcoal. Both carbon; yet between
them stands the mightiest of magic

and your own body; elementally the
same; yet between the two stands the
digestion, thearbiterof growth or decline
life or death.
We cannot make a diamond; we can
not make flesh, blood or bone. No. But
by means of the Shaker Digestive Cor
dial we can enable the stomach to di
gest food which would otherwise fer
merit and poison the system. In all
forms of dyspepsia and incipient con
sumption, with weakness, loss of flesh,
thin blood, nervous prostration the Cor
dial is the successful remedy. Taken
with food it relieves at once. It nour
ishes, and assists nature to nourish.

MATRIMONY AND MENNONITES.
The Minister Doe* the Propoilng (or
the Ulrl'a Hand.
When a Mennonite young nuuidesires
to marry a Meanonlte young woman,
instead of telling her about it h» con
fides in the minister. If the latter
thinks well of the proposed match ho
informs the young woman and gener
ally devotes considerable time to plead
ing the case of the lovesick swain, since
it Ls considered somewhat indelicato for
the woman, to yield too easily. Even
e.fter their engagement, the mlni«te*
conducts moot of the negotiations lead
leg up to the marriage ceremony.
This always takes place in a church,
to which everybody is entitled to admis
sion on the wedding day without invita
tion. Two weeks before the wedding
the "banns" are called from the pulpit
end during that fortnight the bride ajid
groom are allowed to meet without tho
presence of a third party. The first
portion of the ceremony consists of a
•ermon, generally on some suoh subject
as the duties of husband and wife. One
such eormon preaohe*d at a wedding last
summer lasted about two hours, al
though the minister announced in the
beginning that because of the hot
weather he would "be brief." At the
dose of the sermon the contracting par
ties, who had been seated on opposite
sides of the ohurch, walked to the
Altar, where they answered affirmative
ly a series of questions and were pro
rvounced man and wife. Th*m they re
turned to their seats on opposite sides
of the auditorium and the regular serv
ices of the day were resumed.
6UBSTITUTE FOR SWING BRIDGE
Carluaa KnulJieerlnit Structure nt
the M«nlh of the Hirer Servlon.
At the mouth of the river Nervlou,
which flows Into the Bay of Biscay be
tween Portugalete and Las Arenas, a
curious engineering structure has been
erected within the last few years to
transport passengers, cattle and ve
hicles without interfering with the
river traffic. It consists, says the Man
chester Guardian, ot a couple of towers
200 feet high, one on each bunk; from
these a bridge is suspended by chains
at a height sufficient to cleur the masts
of vessels—that is, nearly 150 feet above
the water level of the spring tides.
This bridge carries a line of rails on
which a trolley is pulled to and Xro
by an engine on the Bus Arenas or
northern sicle. With it goes a ear, hung
by steel cables, in which the passengers
take their seats. This Is not wound up
to the top, but stays at the level of
the quays. Thus the transit is effected
quickly and regularly, without the de
lay inseparable from a swing bridge.
A similar "pont transbordeur" is to be
set up over the Seine near Rouen by
a French company. In general ap
pearance It will resemble the Span
ish one, und if equally successful will
probably lead to the application of the
principle elsewhere. It seems odd that
for such a simple and useful device
engineers should have to go to Spain.
One \Va» to Cure Green Iteportera.
The Albany Journal tells a Htory of
two green reporters, Englishmen, who
were sent by the city editor of a cer tain
newspaper to a suburban town to write
up the burning of an orphan asylum.
Late that night when the news editor
was wondering why no "copy" about
the fire was coming by wire, a telegraph
messenger rindied in and handed him a
dispatch. He opened It and readi
"Dear air—We are hero. What shall
wa do?"
It wwi signed with the names of the
two men sent to "write up" the fire.
The news editor made a few remarks,
which, while they were appropriate to
tho occasion, would not look woll In
print; then he wrote on a telegraph
blank this brief message!
"Find out where the fire Is hottest,
and jump In."
A Rtmnlnn Joke.
