One of the counties of tbe etnte ot Connecticut once boasted of a Judge who, though poorly furnished with those little refinements usually met with In polished society, was an ener getic, shrewd mnn, and a promising lawyer. A neighbor of bis was about to give away his daughter In marriage, and having a deep-rooted dislike to the clerical profession, and being de termined, as he said, "to have no par son In his house," he sent for his friend the judge, to perform the cere mony. The Judge came, and, the can didates for the connubial yoke takltiR their places before him, he addrcsned the brldo: "You swear you will marry this man?" "Yes, sir," was the reply. "And you (addressing the bridegroom) wear you will marry this woman?" "Well, I do," said the groom. "Then," said the Judge, "I swear you're mar' Tied!" FOR MIDOLE-ACEO WOMEN.

Q The announcement recently made that a siege train was being mobilized for service In South Africa no doubt conveyed very little information to the non-military mind, as was shown a few days ago, when a writer In the London Dally Mall was asked, in all sincerity: "What is the difference be tween a siege train and an armored train?" As a matter of fact, a siege train is tlio name applied to the com plement ot guns, ammunition and store wagons, and men employed to conduct a siege. According to the "Siege Artillery Manual," a siege train may consist of any number ot divisions, heavy, medium or light, ac cording to the requirements of the service. A division, as a rule, con sists of sixteen pieces ot ordnance, exclusive of machine guns; each divi sion requires a personnel consisting ot four companies ot garrison artil lery, with the following staff: Ono lieutenant-colonel, one adjutant, ono quartermaster, two staff non-commissioned officers, and two staff clerks, in addition to a total of 596 officers, non commissioned officers and men. In tbe present instance tbe armament consists ot tho new live-Inch breech loading howitzors throwing lyddite shell. All siege guns and howitzers are fitted with special sights known as "French's sights," which enable them to be laid on an object that is lnvlsl ble to the gunner. With this advan tage it is possible to place the battery behind a hill totally obscured from the enemy's view, and to pound away until either all his guns are dismount ed or the fort breached so as to en able the infantry to carry the place by assault. Siege gunnery has now arrived at such a pitch ot perfection that there is absolutely nothing that can withstand the attack ot a well organized and well-equipped siege train. Tbe shell fire la so accurate and searching and tbe high explo sives so destructive that It is only a question of time in demolishing any defense that can possibly be erected. By means of an observing Instrument, Invented by Capt. Tancred, each shot can be accurately observed as burst ing so many yards short or over the object, thus enabling tbe necessary corrections to be made for the next round to strike the exact spot desired and insuring extreme accuracy of fire.

Inn Alans the Pavements, From the Philadelphia Record: "I wonder why It is," said a quick ob server the other day, "that nine peo ple out of every ten in walking along the sidewalk Invariably try ti avoid stepping upon the cracks or divisions In between the flagging? Now, for in stance, If the divisions are made so that an ordinary man's step would measure about two-thirds of the width of one section of the flagging, he would naturally take about three steps in crossing two ot them. But Instead ot making the three steps of the same length and setting one foot down upon tbe am, you will find that he will invariably take a step either a little longer or a little shorter than is really most convenient, Just to enable blm to avoid stepping upon tbe crack or seam. It seems to be done almost un consciously, and yet if on the next square the size ot the division in the pavement is changed, you will notice that almost invariably the pedestrian adapts his steps to tho new arrange ment, and still continues to avoid the cracks. Children tiBed to piny a game called 'poison' on their way to school. Tbe game consisted entirely in care fully avoiding stepping upon a stone or some other material selected by the leador to be designated as 'poison,' to set foot upon which was supposed to be followed by direful consequences. Whether the habit of 'looking where you step' thus acquired Is continued by those who now try to ovoid cracks I cannot any, but if you notice you will find that many people who walk ore addicted to tho habit here de scribed."
